Novel Full Chapter 305
?305 The Strength of the Number One Person in the Exchange Match!
Amidst the audience’s continuous cheers, Bishop’s opponent, Pei Ji, also entered the ring. Although Pei Ji was thin, refined, and looked harmless, he was Taiwu’s third-best student.
Even though he was number three in terms of strength, he was slightly stronger than Co-captain Heller.
It was just that he was more introverted and not good at organizing. He was even willing to “hang up his position.” Otherwise, he would be Taiwu’s co-captain.
Moreover, he and Captain Hardy were the only two members of Taiwu who participated in the competition.
“Hello, Pei Ji. We meet again.” Bishop smiled and took the initiative to greet Pei Ji.
“Hello.” Pei Ji cupped his hands and bowed. With a serious expression, he said, “I’m not worthy to face you in the ring.”
Bishop maintained his amiable expression as he cupped his hands and bowed back. “You’re flattering me. I feel honored to face you in this ring.”
He recognized Pei Ji’s strength, so the face of such an opponent in his first match would only deepen his memories of their last match.
“You never change, do you?” Pei Ji withdrew his right leg and gestured, “please.” “Let me witness the number one participant’s strength!”
Taiwu was displeased that Pei Ji was going up against Bishop as they wanted their weakest member to do it instead. However, Pei Ji was excited at this moment.
He had been training hard to improve his strength since the last competition ended. In one year, Pei Ji had risen from level 33 to level 38 and was extremely close to level 39.
He trained hard because he wanted to defeat a strong opponent when he encountered one next time.
“Please,” when Bishop uttered that word, it pushed the atmosphere in the arena to a new height.
Standing in the resting area, Moss felt waves in his heart as he watched the match about to start. He had sparred with Bishop several times, so he was familiar with his captain.
He trusted Bishop’s strength and believed Bishop would indeed even out the score after this match. Moss was excited about the upcoming match when he saw Bishop as the number one participant in the ring.
He wanted to know what method Bishop would use to win his match against the level 38 earth-type berserker.
Beep, beep!
The match began when the whistle sounded. Surprisingly, the two did not move for two minutes, even after the whistle sounded. They just looked at each other quietly.
“They look so steady,” Moss muttered as he looked at the scene in the ring.
The scene looked calm, but he could sense that the two were fighting through spiritual power. From the spiritual power the two displayed, it was apparent that Bishop was superior.
Moss was most surprised that Bishop’s spiritual power was only at the intermediate level of a low-level powerhouse, definitely not at the intermediate level because Moss had only reached the intermediate level.
Bishop’s spiritual power did not cause much fluctuation in Moss’s spiritual power. Usually, during their internal training, Bishop’s power was limited.
Indeed, he did not need to use much of it. A level 41 Templar Warrior’s difference in level was enough to suppress a group of first-year students.
Moss could not help but feel delighted. “Is my spiritual power much higher than my combat level?”
He had always wanted to find an opportunity to understand it in depth when he raised his spiritual power to an intermediate powerhouse level.
Therefore, he first looked for Brady when he returned to Kyoto after completing his EDC missions. From Brady, he learned that in the early days, no one valued spiritual power, so level classifications did not exist.
As more gradually understood spiritual power, they divided it along combat levels. As professionals paid more attention to spiritual power over the past decade, they further refined the levels of spiritual power.
Based on the original classification of low, intermediate, and high-level powerhouses, each level had three stages: early, intermediate, and late.
‘It seems helpful to improve my spiritual power by always implementing the knight spirit and communicating with Little Seven through spiritual power.’
With the advantages of his profession and taming magical beasts, Moss’s current spiritual power level had far surpassed professionals of the same level and most low-level powerhouses.
Indeed, it made Moss very happy. Although his heart was already surging with emotions, there was not the slightest fluctuation on the surface.
He returned his focus to the fight happening in the ring. His eyes lit up when he saw Pei Ji was the first to attack. “It seems Pei Ji couldn’t suppress his excitement.”
When Pei Ji entered the ring, he immediately activated his berserk mode, brandishing his giant ax toward Bishop. If he were an ordinary berserker, activating berserker mode would mean sacrificing his defense and HP to unleash extreme attacks.
However, an earth-type berserker could effectively compensate for this side effect because they used the earth element to increase their defenses. Even in berserk mode, their defense would still be two to three times stronger than an ordinary berserker.
Still, Bishop did not move, even though he saw the ax with gusts of strong winds approaching. He only moved when the ax was inches away from his head.

“You’re too slow, Bishop!” Thinking he was about to succeed, a hint of hesitation flashed in Pei Ji’s heart, but it was only for a moment. He added more force to move faster.
Many shouted because they knew the power of this attack when an earth-type berserker in berserk mode used it.
“Ah!”
“Watch out!”
They thought it was already too late for Bishop to dodge. Even if the ax did not hit Bishop, he would still get injured by the strong gust of wind the ax created.
Moss revealed a mysterious smile as he watched everything unfold before him. He muttered, “It seems we must always keep our guard up. Those knocking on our door may not always come with good intentions.”
The rest of Kyoto’s team members in the resting area had meaningful smiles. They knew what would happen next, having experienced it firsthand.
In the next second, the audience was shocked as Pei Ji’s ax suddenly slowed down. Everyone felt like they were watching a movie in slow motion because the ax slowed down to 0.5 times the speed.
“You can use a reverse buff?!” Pei Ji’s eyes widened as he said incredulously.
Even his speech slowed down because of Bishop’s reverse buff.
“Yes, this is the first time I’m using it in the competition. Please watch out for me,” Bishop smiled slightly as he spoke.
Simultaneously, he raised his palm and added a buff to himself. Then he turned sideways and then forward, launching a tomahawk-style downward kick. Bishop’s leg created afterimages and heavily came down on Pei Ji’s neck.
Bang!
Pei Ji’s ax smashed onto the ring floor with a bang. Then Bishop floated down with ease. Since everything happened so quickly, the audience forgot to cheer for a moment.
After ten seconds of silence, someone shouted, “Incredible!”
Only then did the arena regain its liveliness.
