Chapter 325
325 Unbelievable!
“There’s a massive element of luck in Moss obtaining the Sacred Tabu Sheep, but this might be fate,” Locke looked at the arena’s center, his eyes dazed.
“Oh?” Jay Jie was shocked. He cupped his hands and respectfully said, “Professor Locke, I still don’t understand. Please continue!”
He was very emotional. He benefited greatly from hosting the competition on the Ministry of Education’s behalf, especially since he was lucky enough to have the usually busy Locke around.
Jay Jie benefited more from interacting with Locke than he could if he had studied for ten years.
Locke looked back at Jay Jie and said, “You should know the origin of the Sacred Tabu Sheep.”
“Yes.” Jay quickly nodded.
“It’s the same species as the Bloodthirsty Bighorn Sheep. They are brave and good at fighting, making them a perfect mount. They also revered the strong and especially liked the most ancient Knight profession.
“Some older generations of powerful Knights had taken the Sacred Tabu Sheep as their mounts. That’s why they are closely related to the Knight profession.”
Locke paused and said, “These years, Knights have gradually declined, but Moss still stands out at this stage. Therefore, when he was lucky enough to meet the Sacred Tabu Sheep, it favored Moss more than other professionals.
“This is because it was easier for a Knight who pursued the Knight’s spirit to increase his spiritual power. At that time, Moss’s spiritual power should be high.
“When he used his spiritual power to summon the Sacred Tabu Sheep, the Knight’s spirit he exuded must have deeply touched the Sacred Tabu Sheep.”
Jay Jie nodded repeatedly and looked infatuated. He said excitedly, “Professor Locke, I finally understand why Kyoto has sent so many first-year students to participate in the competition.
“On the surface, it looked like they were training the first-year students, but from another perspective, it also showed they attached great importance to this group of first-year students.
“Moreover, they had never given up on defending their title! They’re very confident in this batch of first-year students.”
“That’s right. This year’s college entrance exams are of a terrifying level. The outstanding students that the great waves have selected have indeed given Kyoto a certain amount of confidence.” Locke nodded as his eyes lit up.
He excitedly continued, “Among the six newcomers from Kyoto, Moss is undoubtedly their most considerable trump card.”
“The committee has already issued a notice, Professor Locke: From the next round onward, students can no longer use Magical Beasts in the ring.
“After that, the committee might only allow the use of Magical Beasts in the competition after considering the Education Department’s investigation of Magical Beasts.”
A shocked expression gradually appeared on Jay Jie’s face as he asked excitedly, “Professor Locke, do you mean Moss has more powerful skills he has yet to show?”
Locke nodded and smiled. “That kid has been hiding his strength from the start. The Sacred Tabu Sheep appeared on the field mainly because of his Knight’s spirit.
“Thus, even though I’ve discovered that his spiritual power is at least at the late stage of a low-level powerhouse, I still think Moss hasn’t fully displayed his strength.”

“You said his spiritual power has reached the late stage of a low-level powerhouse?” Jay Jie was even more shocked.
“That’s right. Moss’s potent spiritual power made the Golden Liger treat him as its master. From his calm and composed performance, his spiritual power should have broken through the level of a low-level powerhouse and reached the early stage of a mid-level powerhouse!”
If it were not for the presidents of the top 120 universities coming in one after another, Jay Jie would have shouted, “The early stage of a middle-tier powerhouse?!”.
However, he whispered to Locke, “Moss is not even a low-level powerhouse yet, but his spiritual power has already surpassed the level of a low-level powerhouse?! T-That seems too exaggerated!”
“With his mighty Sacred Tabu Sheep, it’s not hard to understand why he achieved such a result,” Locke said calmly.
If he had not figured out the reason for this when he was taking a walk after dinner, he would not be so calm at this moment.
“Moss’s situation is infrequent. I can say it has never happened before. Many professionals close to high-level powerhouses have spiritual power at the level of low-level powerhouses,” Jay Jie mumbled to himself.
Suddenly, he thought of something and exclaimed, “Tsk! Did you just say that this is not Moss’s full strength?!”
“Yes, I did,” Locke replied firmly.
Immediately after, his eyes flickered as he said in a deep voice, “My analysis is that he must have more powerful skills to use in the next team battle. However, I can’t guess what they are.”
Jay Jie tapped his fingers on the table a few times. His excitement was beyond words, “So, in the match between Kyoto and Aerospace University tomorrow, Moss might be able to perform well?!”
“That should be the case. In terms of overall strength, Aerospace University has three more second-year students than Kyoto! Even if Bishop was brave, they have many people, and Bishop would be their priority. If it’s a five-on-five, then no one in Kyoto will be able to win.”
Jay Jie nodded. He was looking forward to Kyoto’s match tomorrow.
…
Jay Jie was having a great time chatting. The presidents of the top ten institutes and the top 120 presidents behind them were also having a great time.
“Congratulations again, President Monte!” Mike said to Monte smilingly as he arrived at his seat. He would not even want to come this afternoon if he did not have a seat on the stage.
He was confident his university would make it to the top four, but now they were stuck in the top 32, worse than last year’s results, which made him mad.
However, he did not have a temper now and could not do anything but blame his bad luck.
“Thank you, thank you! We were just lucky. Otherwise, we would have lost the competition with Donghu’s strength this year,” said Monte courteously.
“You’re being too modest, President Monte. We’ve lost fair and square this year, mainly to Bishop and Moss. They’ve left a deep impression on me,” Mike was sincere, and his words came from the bottom of his heart.
Furthermore, Moss left a profound impression on him, his team members, and the professors. Simultaneously, he also envied Monte for recruiting such an outstanding student like Moss.
Although he did not feel the resentment and unwillingness from last year’s loss to Kyoto Institute, he felt disappointed.
At the same time, he also secretly decided to try his best to recruit more outstanding students next year. He would also train well and make ample preparations for next year’s competition.
“Thank you for your recognition, President Mike. I’ll pass your message on to my team when the competition ends. I fear they might get complacent if I tell them now,” said Monte with a smile as he cupped his hands.
“Let’s watch the match,” he said politely, “Next up are Gongji University, Changjiang University, Military University, and Shuimu University. They all seem particularly competitive this year.”
Upon hearing this, Mike nodded smilingly and did not say anything else. He also turned to look into the ring at the arena’s center.
