“Excellent!”

Thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the training camp’s grand hall, which could accommodate a thousand people. With such a warm atmosphere, Moss bowed to the audience and ended his ten-minute sharing.

The elite training camp welcomed its annual summer activities. The summer activities differed from the training program.

The first- and second-year high school students could participate in the summer activities only under their school’s recommendation.

The elite training camp hosted summer activities so the students who had yet to awaken their professions could feel the training camp’s atmosphere. It also encouraged them to keep working hard and have the opportunity to train at the elite training camp.

Since Moss had ended his speech and was about to leave, the students below the stage became restless.

“Just talking about experiences is not enough. We can’t do what the country’s top scorer said.”

“Yeah, we need a demonstration. We want to see the elegant demeanor of the elite training camp’s outstanding graduates.”

“Yeah, otherwise, we won’t know whether or not the top scorer is fake.

…

Although some sophomore students had witnessed Moss’s performance during the college entrance exams, most had not.

Before the students arrived, the instructors told them the country’s top scorer would appear during the summer activities to share his experiences. Some even heard Moss would show off his skills during the activities.

The students did not want to miss such an opportunity and had made thorough plans beforehand.

“Show us a move, Senior Moss!”

“Yea, do it!”

…

The chanting became stronger and stronger, causing the entire grand hall to boil.

A smirk flashed across Flying Wolf’s face. “Moss, you can’t deny such kind gestures. Why don’t you show them your skill and give them an unforgettable experience?”

Moss nodded with a wry smile. “I feel like you guys set me up, Instructor Flying Wolf.”

“It’s the students’ heartfelt thoughts. We didn’t set this up.” Flying Wolf’s smile became wider. “However, the teachers and instructors also want to see what you’re capable of.”

After that, he revealed a severe expression, picked up the microphone, and thundered, “Let’s move to the training grounds, students! Moss will give us a wonderful show over there!”

The students in the hall quickly rushed toward the training grounds as soon as Flying Wolf finished speaking. Over a thousand students gathered at the elite training camp’s training grounds in a short while.

Beep, beep!

A few urgent whistles sounded, and 20 students walked out from the ranks in an orderly manner. Then they stood before Moss and lined up neatly.

“Moss, these students want to spar with you. Don’t worry. I’ve already told them the guidelines—don’t overdo it. Now, I’ll tell you something else,” Flying Wolf whispered in Moss’s ear. His eyes were full of anticipation as he smiled.

“That’s a little too obvious, isn’t it, Instructor Flying Wolf?” Moss feigned annoyance.

“You must be considerate of me, kid. I can’t help it if Old Mur is pressuring me. Besides, you’re an outstanding graduate of the elite training program, so you are obligated to do us a favor.

“Also, you’re the country’s champion now. The summer activities won’t be exciting enough if you don’t show off.” Flying Wolf pretended to be troubled.

“All right, fine, but you can’t put me on the spot like this again,” Moss changed the topic and said smilingly, “You must tell me about the buried city later, Instructor Flying Wolf!”

“Sure. Let’s begin!” Flying Wolf patted Moss’s shoulder and turned to leave. After turning, a wicked smile flashed across his face.

“Thank you for letting us win, Senior Moss!”

The students quickly surrounded Moss as soon as he finished speaking.

“Oh, so all of you are coming at me at once? It looks like I’ve overthought Flying Wolf.” Moss glanced at Flying Wolf from the corner of his eyes and discovered that he and Red Spider were staring at him and chatting happily.

He knew now more than ever the two had deliberately arranged for this to happen. Moreover, he realized these 20 students were not ordinary students. Judging from the clothes and weapons, he could tell these were capable students.

Although their levels were low and their teamwork was not good, he knew they had some prior training and had cooperated before.

Initially, Moss wanted to spar with them casually. However, he knew Flying Wolf had arranged this fight.

‘Show me what you got, and I’ll leave a deep impression on you all,’ Moss thought.

He saw the 20 students attacking in unison and immediately summoned 21 shields as he held one in his hand. The remaining 20 shields shot toward the 20 students.

He also activated Absolute Defense and Holy Belief. Under these effects, Moss waved his shield at the attacking students.

Although he did not use his sword, he had perfected his shield control long ago, switching between attack and defense. His transparent shield was like a flower petal dancing in the air.

Bang, bang, bang.

Alongside the 20 banging sounds, Moss put away the shield in his hand and stood at the center of the circle the 20 shields had formed.

However, the 20 shields were slightly tilted, supporting the 20 dizzied students. The medics were about to rush forward when they heard Moss calmly saying, “It’s okay. These students will wake up soon.”

“Wow!”

“Moss took care of those 20 students in less than a minute.”

“He was too fast, and I couldn’t even see his shadow.”

“Moss used his shields to perfection. I’m impressed!”

…

The students present were shocked to see Moss end the battle so quickly as they expressed their admiration for him. The students were not the only ones who were shocked. The instructors and teachers present were even more so, especially Flying Wolf and Red Spider.

“That kid is amazing. “He took down 20 second-year honor students alone in less than a minute,” Flying Wolf muttered in disbelief as his eyes widened.

He was the one who carefully selected those 20 popular professions. One would say the 20 students had the highest standards among the others who signed up.

Initially, Flying Wolf wanted them to cause as much trouble as possible for Moss, but he did not expect the fight to end in less than a minute.

“Moss’s defense level has already reached a very high level. Moreover, his strength and control are excellent. He nailed everyone in the shields’ center, and Moss evenly spaced out the shields.” Red Spider looked at Flying Wolf. “Does his defense remind you of the Absolute Defense?”

“Yes, it’s very similar. It would be fantastic if this kid has Absolute Defense ability.” Flying Wolf nodded enthusiastically as a brilliant smile flashed across his face.
