335 The Team Kyoto That Everyone Fears!
Jay Jie’s question did not surprise Locke. Still, he admired Jay Jie’s last sentence because he believed only few could tell that Moss had yet to use his full strength.
Therefore, Locke smiled and said, “Moss’s Absolute Defense is that powerful because of his potent spiritual power. Generally, Absolute Defense ensures the user is not hurt.
“However, the user would significantly enhance their spiritual power as their understanding of the skill and continuous integration of spiritual energy deepens. The user can use their spiritual power to control the path of the energy that hits him.”
Jay Jie asked again, “Do you mean Moss can use his spiritual power to absorb and control the energy that attacks him or continue to transmit it through his body?”
!!
Locke nodded and said with confidence, “Not just that.”
“What do you mean?” Jay Jie’s eyes widened as he asked in surprise.
“I mean, Moss can control whether or not the energy that hits him passes through his body. He can also control the amount of energy that passes through and maybe even the angle.” Locke was excited, and he grew fonder of Moss.
“He can control the amount and angle?” Jay Jie’s eyes and mouth were wide open.
“Yes, he can control the amount,” Locke said calmly, “Moss had already done it in the match just now. He divided the energy from his teammates’ joint attack in two and redirected it to Barry and Bard separately.
“Since he could control the amount, he should also be able to control the angle. One can achieve it if one’s spiritual power is potent enough.”
Jay Jie was even more surprised when he thought about how Moss could change the amount and angle. “If that’s the case, wouldn’t Moss’s skill be even more difficult to defend against?”
Locke explained, “Not really. With Moss’s current spiritual power, he shouldn’t be able to change the angle too much. So, if he still had his formidable Absolute Defense, others would already be on guard.
However, the scope of his change was not minimal, so the suddenness would not be as great. The first time Moss demonstrated the ability to change the energy angle, it brought unexpected results.”
Jay Jie cupped his hands and said respectfully, “You’ve enlightened me, Professor Locke.”
“You’re too modest, Jay.” Locke bowed.
…
As the two chatted, the last match of the morning ended. Ultimately, Military University won against Jingwu with relative ease. However, Military University did not feel relaxed or happy.
After all, they were about to face Kyoto, whose performance had just been more attention-grabbing.
After returning to the lounge, Ronnie, Military University’s team leader, played a video of the match between Kyoto and Aerospace.
“Mr. Ronnie, besides Moss’s Magical Beast, Moss himself is quite formidable,” Military University’s co-captain Albert said in surprise.
He could see the match better from the recording than when he was in the waiting area. Moreover, the person recording the video was a professional that captured every detail.
Therefore, the Military University team members could see all Kyoto members’ matches in detail. Naturally, Moss’s performance and expression left a deep impression on everyone.
“I know Moss has been improving all this while, but the strength he displayed today, especially his ability to use Absolute Defense, shocked me once again,” Although Ronnie spoke calmly, there were waves in the depths of his heart.
He had not expected Moss to be able to use Absolute Defense. Most knew that Absolute Defense was a skill even elite Knights could not use.
Moreover, Moss was still young, so Ronnie was in disbelief. However, based on the skill’s effects, he could certainly say it was Absolute Defense.
Moss’s ability to use Absolute Defense meant his class was no lower than an elite Knight’s. A 16-year-old whose profession was already higher than an elite Knight’s would undoubtedly cause waves in Ronnie’s heart.
“Mr. Ronnie, you’re saying Moss blocked Bard and Barry’s combo with Absolute Defense?” Captain Andre’s brows furrowed as he confirmed with Ronnie.
“Yes! Furthermore, his Absolute Defense is no longer at the elementary level,” Ronnie’s words were calm, but when they saw the effect of Moss’s skill, the team members were deeply touched.
“Mr. Ronnie, since it’s Absolute Defense, wouldn’t it be even more difficult for us to fight them in the next round?”
“Yeah, with Absolute Defense, doesn’t that mean we can’t fight anymore? Since our attack is ineffective, Kyoto can use the cooperation of a small team of two or three people to defeat us.”
…
The team members expressed their concerns. Ronnie glanced at every member confidently and said, “Don’t be too pessimistic. Moss didn’t use Absolute Defense the entire time against Aerospace.
“That either means his skill has a cooldown, or he didn’t want to use it in the last match constantly. Otherwise, it means his skill had a cooldown.
“Moreover, his Absolute Defense must have a cooldown because whenever Safin used it, he had a cooldown. Yes, cooldown. Cooldown. Wow, cooldown.”
“Mr. Ronnie, does that mean we can use our previous tactic when Moss’s skill is on cooldown?” Andre’s eyes glinted as if he had seen the hope of victory.
Ronnie’s brows gradually relaxed. He nodded and said, ” “Yes! However, we must keep a certain distance from Moss and remember not to stand in front or behind him, especially when the other team members show signs of a joint attack.
“Also, don’t do it in front or behind him at a 60-degree angle.”
“Mr. Ronnie, are you worried Moss will change the energy’s path?” Andre asked in surprise.
“Yes, in the last match, Moss converted the energy from Bishop and the other three’s joint attack and redirected it to Barry and Bard. Therefore, if he can control the amount of energy, he should also be able to control the angle,” Ronnie explained.
“Why did Bishop and the other three’s energy split into two?” Albert stared at Ronnie and asked in confusion.
“If Moss separated the original four energies, he wouldn’t have enough to resist Barry and Bard’s combo attack. If Moss had converted it into energy, it wouldn’t have thrown Barry and Bard out of the ring simultaneously.
“In addition, I said the angle is within 60 degrees because I don’t think he can change the angle past that. Thus, there’s no need for everyone to be too worried.
“If we pay more attention and use our advantages, we can defeat Kyoto. Remember, we have three more second-year elite members than them.”
After listening to Ronnie’s words, Military University gradually regained its morale. A moment later, the team members’ cheers echoed again.
