Chapter 213: Are the Level 10 Hell Difficulty Tests Getting Easier?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“What’s the point of Moss doing that tornado movement if the students can use detoxification equipment and potions?! That’s the only question I have. He couldn’t predict what would happen next, so he shouldn’t have used up all his energy with one action. Why is it so easy for young people to be in the limelight these days?!”

Michaels did not think well of Moss, even though more and more people supported Moss. However, based on Moss’s performance in the second test, he still agreed that Moss possessed a certain degree of strength.

Still, Michaels felt it was easy for Moss to become arrogant under the limelight, and being arrogant would make it harder for Moss to achieve more extraordinary things later on.

After witnessing Moss’s heroic performances in the first two tests and hearing Michaels’s bitter comments, some of Moss’s fans could not take it anymore. If they could, they would refute him.

“Michaels said it was unwise of Moss to waste his energy like that, but it seems we cannot trust Michaels’s words.”

“Yea, Moss didn’t waste his energy at all. He still seems to be full of vigor, even now.”

“Yeah, it looked like he had endless strength when he killed the Netherlock Ghost Snake.”

…

“Joan, I told you to come here to study and experience the atmosphere during the college entrance exams. How could you argue with Director Michaels’s words?” Na’er said with a darkened expression as he pretended to be angry.

Joan was a cute girl who was a second-year student from class nine in White Deer High. After hearing Na’er’s words, she did not calm down. Instead, she leaned her back against Na’er. Her eyes curved when she smiled and whispered, “Principal Na’er, why do I see a smile on your face?”

Then she stuck her tongue out at Na’er.

Na’er was stunned as he retorted, “Don’t spew such nonsense!”

Joan simply smiled at Na’er and kept quiet.

‘Shoot, someone noticed me smiling. It looks like I must be more discreet,’ Na’er thought. Immediately after, he stole a glance at Michaels and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized Michaels did not seem to notice his conversation with Joan.

Na’er was delighted at that moment. Based on his observations of Moss’s performance, he thought Moss could complete at least five to six tests that day. If it continued, Moss would have a perfect chance of making it into the top 50 institutes in the country.

Meanwhile, Elroy was also in a good mood. Even though he was concerned for Moss when he saw the Netherlock Ghost Snake with a red growth on its head, he soon felt relieved when Moss delivered the final blow.

Elroy was highly familiar with Moss, especially regarding his strength, speed, endurance, and Moss’s excellent state of mind during the tests. All of Moss’s actions were not reckless. On the contrary, it was a sign of Moss’s confidence.

Moreover, through Elroy’s observations and comparisons, combined with his many years of experience, he knew Moss could ensure a specific completion rate if he maintained his current state of mind.

Elroy was confident Moss could enter the top ten institutes in S Country. With that thought, Elroy was already expecting his beloved student to complete at least 80 to 90% of his tests and that it would lay a perfect foundation for Moss to enter the top three institutes.

“Hey! Moss has entered the third test’s spatial rift!”

Moss did not rest much this time either as he confidently walked into the next test area. However, the scene of the third rest changed significantly compared to the previous ones.

What greeted Moss was a tropical rain forest that was bright. Many strange-looking large birds circled the sky. There was also abnormally lush and unknown vegetation overgrowing throughout the surrounding area.

Meanwhile, a group of Giant-teethed Hippos was sunbathing in the mud, while a ten-meter-long and five-meter-tall Undead Rhinoceros was at their center.

The Undead Rhinoceros had tough skin and thick flesh as its back muscles bulged high. Its nearly one-meter-tall horn protruded, making one feel intimidated at first sight.

The Magical Beasts sensed the human’s presence and stood up from the mud, letting our ear-piercing roars as they surrounded Moss.

“That’s an Undead Rhinoceros! The Magical Beast that is known for being a meat shield!”

“It’s much more formidable than the Evil Rhinoceros. The Undead Rhino’s defenses are at least two to three times higher!”

“It also has higher health points, and its attacks are much more violent. Did BT006 design these tests to exhaust the examinees?!”

“I’m starting to believe Director Michaels’s words now.”

…

The relaxed audience’s hearts began to tense again when they saw the Undead Rhinoceros.

Meanwhile, Moss slightly smiled when he saw an Undead Rhinoceros in the third test area. He had already begun reciting the beast’s information inwardly.

‘Beast’s name: Undead Rhinoceros.’

‘Skills: Death Charge and Wild Horn Dance.’

‘Pros: High defense and health points.’

‘Cons: Lacks speed.’

‘Weak spots: Space between its eyebrows and underneath its horn.

He was familiar with the Undead Rhinoceros as he had fought it countless times in the training camp’s underground training grounds. Although the ones he previously fought were half the size of the third test’s Undead Rhinoceros, Moss knew how to deal with it and decided not to probe further.

‘Speed is the most vital thing in a war!’ Moss thought. He smiled a second ago but had already used his full strength in the next.

‘Holy Light Protection!’

‘100 Defenses Enhancement!’

‘Stormstrike!’

‘Potential activation!’

After activating these skills, Moss gained 15 times increment in speed and agility from his Holy Light Protection (10) and Knight’s Agility Ring (5), 30 times increment in strength from his Thousand Mass Strike (20) combined with his 100 Defenses Enhancement (50%), and a maximum of 2.5 times the potential from his Potential Activation.

Moss had increased his strength by 60 times with those stat bonuses and could now strike with 90 tons of force.

Soon after, his afterimage flashed as a silver arc with ice mist streaked past the Undead Rhinoceros’s gigantic horn.

All the Magical Beasts, including the audience watching, did not expect Moss to take the initiative to attack so quickly and viciously.

Clang!

A loud sound echoed, and the vibrations broke the Undead Rhinoceros’s gigantic horn. However, it also sent the top half of Moss’s two-star Frost Knight Holy Sword flying.

The scene on the screen stunned the audience as they fell silent.

“Whine!” The Undead Rhinoceros released a heart-wrenching scream, and the audience finally returned to their senses.

The stands erupted in excitement as waves of cheers and chants sounded.

“Moss cut off the Undead Rhinoceros’s most powerful weapon in less than a minute?!”

“That was the first time Moss took the initiative to attack!”

“I guess that happens when he’s the first to attack!”

…

The audience was amid a heated discussion when Moss launched his second wave of attacks. With lightning speed, he stabbed the remainder of his sword into the Undead Rhinoceros’s forehead.

His movement was too quick, and the Undead Rhinoceros died before it could even roar. It even remained standing as it died.

The audience fell silent again until the big screen showed some words in red font, “Congratulations, Examinee Moss, you have completed the third test. You may now proceed with the next test when you’re ready.”

When the Giant-teethed Hippos from the second test area disappeared, only then did the audience finally digest everything that happened before them.

“I-It’s over?”

“He finished his second test faster than I could answer a multiple choice question!”

“I wouldn’t have believed what had happened if I didn’t see the prompt on the screen!”

“Are the level 10 hell difficulty tests getting easier?!”

“Did Moss go easy on the previous tests?”

Amid the audience’s exclamations and heated discussions, Moss had already entered the fourth test’s spatial rift.
