Elroy looked at the scene where the Ironclad Flame Tiger and Moss confronted each other in the air. He nodded excitedly and muttered with eyes full of praise, “Is that what Moss wanted to achieve?”
Elroy had not been that excited for many years when he saw the dawn of Moss’s victory.
At that moment, the audience became increasingly lively as the students who had completed their exams exited their bronze doors.
Meanwhile, the Guardians also completed their exams and immediately returned to White Deer High’s viewing area. They wanted to watch their captain’s performance alongside their schoolmates and teachers.
“Interesting. The audience and the Magical Beasts in Moss’s test are watching Moss’s performance,” Alan proudly said while he held his chin. His eyes were full of excitement.
The other Guardians were also in high spirits when they saw their captain in an advantageous position.
“More beasts are appearing in Moss’s test area to watch his performance!”
“Leave it up to Captain Moss to think of such an attack method.”
…
While the Guardians talked about their captain’s performance with great interest, a student shouted, “That’s not good! The Ironclad Flame Tiger has unleashed its ultimate move, the Crimson Flame Raging Inferno!”
The student’s exclamation broke the Guardians’ cheerful mood as the entire White Deer High viewing area fell silent. Everyone’s hearts were in their throats again.
However, Moss was calm, even becoming excited when he saw the tiger using its ultimate move. Although it was a mighty move, he knew it consumed considerable energy from the Ironclad Flame Tiger. Also, the tiger was still injured.
Even so, Moss dared not be careless. He still used his Holy Light Protection to defend himself because he had used his shields to fly and could not compare to the tigers flying capabilities as it was the more experienced flier.
......
It was one of the reasons why Moss was always at a disadvantage in this final test. He would have killed the tiger long ago if it were a ground battle.
The tiger could not defeat Moss if they had a grounded battle because Moss would take advantage of the environment and use the towering trees to launch counterattacks from time to time.
In addition, the Ironclad Flame Tiger feared the knight’s Red Flame Holy Sword, incredibly its dazzling light. The sword’s dazzling light would also become increasingly intense as time passed.
The tiger did not want to draw out the battle and hoped to end it as quickly as possible. However, the results it wished for did not come to fruition.
Although Crimson Flame Raging Inferno was a formidable move, Moss’s 100 Defenses Enhancement had reached 80%, making his defense stat horrifyingly solid.
Moreover, Moss’s Holy Light Protection would recover his stamina by 50%, and he would take 10% less damage from the tiger’s ultimate move.
Thus, the tiger already started heavily panting before it could finish executing its ultimate move.
‘It seems it’s time to end this!’ Moss inwardly muttered as he reactivated his spiritual power and allowed his Holy Belief to activate his potential.
Moss’s divine light affected his Red Flame Holy Sword as the sword’s dazzling light became even brighter. It made Moss even more excited.
“Stormstrike!” Moss thundered and dived toward the Ironclad Flame Tiger.
The tiger knew it could not match the knight’s momentum and could only try to avoid the sword’s sharp edge. It frantically flapped its wings twice and flew toward the upper left.
‘I knew it would fly in that direction!’
Moss had perfectly predicted the tiger’s movement because its left wing was injured, making it weaker than the right wing. With that, the tiger would inadvertently move to the upper left.
The tiger thought it had dodged the human’s attack when it suddenly felt a scorching heat coming from behind. It tried to dodge again but was too late.
Squirt!
Moss’s blazing hot sword pierced through the Ironclad Flame Tiger. Although the tiger’s armor was tough, it could not withstand the magma-like flame from the knight’s sword.
When Moss pulled out his sword, a bowl-sized hole appeared on the tiger’s body, charring the outer parts of its skin.
Slam! Rustle!
As the Ironclad Flame Tiger’s lifeless body landed, the surrounding Magical Beasts in the test area disappeared. Then a notification sounded in the test area, “Congratulations, Examinee Moss, you have completed your tenth test and may exit the area.”
Moss gracefully landed on the ground when he heard the notification. He looked toward the area where the Magical Beasts once stood in formation and thoughtfully walked toward the spatial rift.
Moss was unusually calm in the test area while the audience was in an uproar.
“Someone surprisingly completed the level 10 hell difficulty exam!”
“A-Am I dreaming?!”
“The college entrance exams are indeed a spectacle! Black Dragon City is a city where dreams come true!”
…
Even after the announcement, most still could not believe what had happened.
“Senior Moss is too fantastic! Can I get his autograph!”
“Get me one too!”
“Moss utterly shattered my expectations with his spinning top maneuver!”
“There’s only one person I’m rooting for in these exams. I’ll just watch him the whole time I’m here!”
…
Moss gained more fans. They were the ones who made the atmosphere during the exams more lively. Quite many teachers also began to support Moss. The more they analyzed his performance, the more they admired him.
They all gave him heartfelt praise.
“Moss’s ability to adapt to any situation is simply astounding!”
“His basic skills are also impressive! I’ve never seen him make mistakes.”
“With just a glance, I can tell he hasn’t missed a single detail during his tests!”
“His psychological warfare is impressive!”
“His performance in both offense and defense is perfect. Moss has enlightened me over and over again!”
…
Similarly, Moss had won many school higher-ups’ hearts.
“Return to the school and study Moss’s performance right now. Bring me a feasible implementation plan for our new lessons tomorrow morning,” Donovan said with a severe expression.
“Yes, Director Donovan. Right away,” a tall man next to him responded respectfully.
However, Number Two and Three High’s alliances were unhappy with Moss’s performance. When Taylor saw the big screen indicating that Moss had completed his final test, he slammed his armrest and left. His other alliance members also left in a hurry.
Of course, Elroy was the happiest person in the audience.
Meanwhile, White Deer High’s viewing area had already burst into a sea of jubilation when Moss pierced through the Ironclad Flame Tiger.
White Deer High’s teachers and higher-ups proudly celebrated as Moss was the only examinee from S Country to complete all ten tests in the level 10 hell difficulty exam.
…
Meanwhile, in a manor in Kyoto, several elders from the BT006 test-setting group discussed the first division of the exams that had just ended.
“Leader, according to the data we received from various countries, we can achieve our goal of pulling apart the gradient this year and advancing the elite selection mechanism.” An elder pointed at a piece of data and nodded smilingly.
“From the first division’s average results, more students have failed our tests in the history of the college entrance exams!” A medium-sized elder looked at another piece of data and said with a bitter smile.
“I never expected more than ten people across the country to complete the level 10 hell difficulty exam this year.”
“Hahaha, the younger generation is impressive. The puppets from L, S, D, H, and Z countries are quite creative.”
“Indeed, but will these puppets be able to continue surprising us?” The leader looked at the others and smiled. “I’m looking forward to what they can bring to the table.”
