Chapter 221: An Astonishing Number!

Moss had completed his first Mystic Realm test and calmly exited the spatial rift for his next test when he heard the system’s voice in his mind.

“Congratulations, you completed the Mystic Realm exam’s first portion. Holy Belief value increased by 15 points. Holy Belief value: 675/1,000.”

Moss turned around and walked toward the rest area when he heard the notification. Then he opened the system’s interface. As usual, the first thing he checked was the class evolution information.

“Level 35 class evolution routes: 1 ‘?’, 2 Dark Shroud Knight, 3 Undead Knight, 4 Great Elite Knight, 5 Dungeon Knight.”

“Huh? There’s a new direction, but why is the first one a question mark?”

Moss clicked on the red question mark behind the question mark.

“Holy Belief value: 675/1,000.”

“Mount growth: 115/200.”

“Experience value: 234/500 (Click to see more details).”

“Miscellaneous: Insufficient Holy Belief Value, unable to display more details.”

Moss’s Holy Belief was rising relatively quickly. It had increased by 70 points in just a few days compared to when he had just evolved.

‘Glorious Talent is great!’ He thought.

Whenever a battle began, Glorious Talent would activate his Holy Belief. Glorious Talent had increased his Holy Belief much quicker than before.

“I wonder what experience value is.” Moss curiously clicked on the question mark behind it.

“Your experience value has increased by 50 points during the professional competition, 80 during the elite training program, and 50 during your time at the front lines. College entrance exams will increase your strength by 54 points (In progress).”

“Hmm, I get it now.”

The newly added “Experience value” was included in Moss’s class evolution conditions, meaning it would have much to do with his class evolution.

He wondered if the question mark behind number one had yet to reveal itself and if it might have something to do with the experience value. Moss’s lips curled into a faint smile with that thought as his eyes sparkled.

Then he clicked on several other notifications for the other four class evolutions.

After looking around, he discovered that Dark Shroud Knight, Undead Knight, and Great Elite Knight were upgraded versions of Great Dark Knight, Hell Knight, and Elite Knight.

Moss had not completed his class evolution at the corresponding level, so he would automatically go to the next class. When he clicked on the question mark behind Dungeon Knight, he saw ‘Dungeon Knight: 0 experience.’

“That’s a familiar name. I remember seeing it somewhere.”

When Moss saw Dungeon Knight, he thought it was familiar. However, he could not immediately remember where he had seen that class name. He thought it was better to finish the exams before asking Red Spider and the others since they had quite a lot of information.

With that thought, he returned to the control panel’s front page. He was about to click the exit button when he learned he had already reached level 31. Once again, joy filled his heart.

“It looks like level 10 hell is helping me increase my battle experience!” Moss raised his head and looked at the spatial rift before him, his eyes filled with anticipation.

…

“Finally, he stopped acting so recklessly.” Michaels watched as Moss walked toward the resting area and nodded in gratification. He said smilingly, “The Mystic Realm exam required much more stamina than the beast battle exam.

“Stamina is the foundation of getting high scores. It depends on who can allocate their physical strength more rationally and take the initiative in this portion of the college entrance exams.”

As the Education Bureau’s director, Michaels had watched the college entrance exams for decades and had his own unique views. He had witnessed too many examinees missing out on attending famous institutes because of unreasonable distributions of strength.

Hearing Michaels’s words, Joan frowned and muttered softly, “When did Senior Moss start acting recklessly? He has yet to show any signs of exhaustion. Also, considering his current state, he’s not showing signs of fatigue either. Why is the director always scrutinizing Senior Moss?”

“Right, I’m beginning to suspect Moss is Superman. He must be!” A little student beside Joan nodded as if she was taking it seriously, her eyes filled with admiration.”

Na’er sensed the sensitive subject and deliberately raised his voice, “What you said hit the nail on the head, Director Michaels. One’s distribution of stamina is crucial. You all must remember what Director Michaels said.”

Na’er looked at Joan from the corner of his eyes as he spoke.

“Yes, sir. We will remember what Director Michaels said,” Joan was the first to respond as she playfully stuck her tongue out at Na’er.

“Look, Levins has entered his third test!” Someone from Number Two High’s viewing area shouted. He was excited beyond words.

Following the voice, many audience members looked at Levins’s screen, and Aisha’s once calm heart was in her throat again.

She frowned, her eyes filled with anxiety as she muttered, “The number of beasts in the level 9 hell realm is already terrifying, so I can only imagine Moss’s realm.”

It was her first time experiencing the college entrance exams as a teacher. It entirely differed from the feeling she had as a student because she only needed to perform well at that time.

However, she had to think more since she was a teacher, making her worry. She had heard her fellow teachers and Na’er mention the level 9 hell Mystic Realm before, and she thought it would be challenging, but she had witnessed it with her own eyes today and was not even 100% confident she could take these tests now.

Meanwhile, Moss had already started his second test as a large nest of Bloodthirsty Scorpions discovered him. Aisha saw the scorpions swarming after Moss and could not help but exclaim.

“Ah!”

Moss’s second test was even more horrifying than the level 9 realm’s third test.

‘M-Moss,’ Aisha cried Moss’s name inwardly as her heart was already in her throat.

…

Suddenly, the area where Moss was shook violently. Then the sky and screen above the bronze door darkened.

“W-What’s going on?”

“What happened?!”

…

The audience was getting anxious when an emergency broadcast sounded, “Please do not panic! The influence of a powerful energy field has damaged the exam area’s power system. Our maintenance staff will repair it as soon as possible.

“Please rest assured that the staff members have entered the Mystic Realms to conduct an inspection. Everything is under control, so please be patient. We will present the examinees’ performances to you at the first moment.”

Everyone was slightly relieved about the unexpected incident after hearing the announcement. However, the audience and organizing committee worried about the examinees. The examinees’ parents also became concerned because everything went dark, and they could not see inside the Mystic Realms.
