352 The Semi-finals Begin!
Kyoto’s team members watched the footage of Shuimu University’s match against Ocean University in the lounge.
The final top-eight round ended when Sophia and the five professors gathered the team to analyze the great matches. She hoped to get some inspiration from this match.
“Shuimu came prepared this year. However, it’s clear the strength they’ve displayed in this competition isn’t their ultimate strength,” Gavin frowned as he spoke thoughtfully.
“It’ll be tough for Shuimu to defeat Shanghai University this year. The group attack power Shanghai University displayed this morning was terrifying,” Noel said as he thoughtfully recalled the morning’s match.

Carolyn had been staring at the screen, focusing on a brown-haired, blue-eyed team member from Shuimu University. She emphasized, “Shuimu University’s Norton is quite eager to show off, but he’s a Dark Master and is quite powerful.
“His Devour skill can weaken the opponent’s skill and borrow the weakened part for his own use.”
Moss found what he heard interesting. ‘Why does this resemble the star-sucking technique in the novel I read in my past life?’
He thought about it and agreed that skills and martial arts had many similarities. The novels he had read in the past were not in vain. He could use it as a reference to see if he could improve or develop a new skill.
Moss was eager to give it a try when he thought of this.
“One of his skills isn’t as strong as Moss’s Absolute Defense, but he can almost borrow all of his opponent’s strength. It’s scary just thinking about it.” Felix looked at Moss and felt proud to be on the same team.

“That’s right,” Charlie also agreed with Moss’s point of view. He also suggested, “We can learn from Shuimu’s example of a surprise attack. We can find the right time to use a highly lethal skill when our opponent isn’t expecting it.”
“I think that’s one of the reasons why they won so easily compared to Shanghai University.”
“Not bad. Previously, we discussed using a triangular attack to change the formation into two rows of shields. It’ll be even better if we can use them without our opponents knowing.”
“We can even pretend to be defeated and split into two small teams. It’ll be more natural for us to use Absolute Defense then,” Shozo said happily.
…
The team members had always been active in Kyoto analysis meetings, which was the same this time. Everyone actively expressed their opinions and suggestions.
Everyone had almost ended their discussion, but Moss was still deep in thought as Sophia said, “Moss, do you have anything else to say?”
Moss returned to his senses when he heard someone calling his name. He said, “Nothing much, but I must still remind everyone not to get too far from me. Not more than 50 meters.”
He did not want to use Unharmed Domain in the next match against Eastern University unless it was necessary. However, after watching the two matches today, he was worried that Eastern University would still have hidden skills.
If he encountered a troublesome situation, he could only use Uniharmed Domain. Therefore, he specifically reminded everyone to stay within 50 meters of him. That way, he could ensure his teammates would not get hurt.
Sophia noticed Moss’s severe expression and thought he was worried. If he were too far away, he would not be able to send his shield to his team members in time, and he would not be able to connect with everyone better.
Therefore, she also emphasized, “Moss’s reminder is perfect. Everyone must pay attention during the competition. In addition, the three little triangles must maintain contact. You must not be too far apart.”
The team members nodded.
Sophia noticed the time and did not want to delay everyone’s rest period. After all, no matter how good a battle tactic was, it still depended on the team’s performance in battle.
“That’s good,” she said, “Today’s analysis and discussion will end here. Everyone, rest well to be in good condition for tomorrow’s match.”
“All right!” The team members responded in unison and immediately dispersed.
After exiting the lounge, Moss did not immediately return to his room. He wanted to go to Eastern University’s library instead.
On the one hand, he wanted to relax. On the other hand, he wanted to find what he was looking for in this high-end library comparable to Z City’s. He wanted to know more about spatial rifts, human history, ancient beasts, and other things he was most concerned about.
Nat noticed Moss was not returning to his room and followed him with small steps. She asked lowly, “Aren’t you going to rest?”
“No, I had a good sleep last night. I want to go to the library now.” Moss chuckled and continued walking.
Moss had heard that Eastern University’s newly built library was comparable to the city’s library. “I’ve wanted to go to the library before I came here, but I didn’t have time to come because I was preparing for the matches.”
Nat did not stop following, as Moss explained lowly. After hesitating for a long time, she finally gritted her teeth and asked, “Why don’t we go together?”
“Then let’s go. I might have some questions for you later.” Moss nodded smilingly and deliberately slowed down, walking alongside Nat toward the library.
…
Moss had gained quite a lot from his trip to the library. He went there mainly to find information about Dragon disciples and spatial rifts.
He took the opportunity to ask Nat about the Dragon Disciples.
He had read related books in his previous life and knew some warlocks would inherit the Dragon race’s bloodline. However, he knew little about the rest.
Regarding Moss’s question, Nat told him everything she knew. After all, she was a Dragon Disciple and would know much more about it than Moss. Furthermore, she discovered she was stronger than Moss in certain areas.
Moss knew for sure that Dragons existed through Nat’s explanation.
“Then why is it so hard to find dragons?”
Unfortunately, Moss did not get an answer from Nat. Even so, Moss was still excited about dragons. After all, to his knowledge, he thought they only existed in myths and legends.
Today, he learned that Dragons exist, so how could he not be happy? In addition, Moss had a bold idea after recalling the first profession evolution requirement.
‘I might get a dragon mount soon!’ With this thought in mind, Moss knew he could soon complete his “obtain a more powerful mount” requirement.
…
It was a quiet night, and Moss woke up early the following morning. After breakfast, he went to the arena, as he wanted to familiarize himself with it.
Just as he reached the entrance and was about to enter, the audience members who had arrived early recognized him. They took their cameras, wanting to take pictures with him.
He could understand the fanatic audience members as someone who had lived two lives. Therefore, he did not reject anyone who asked to take pictures with him.
Still, too many people had this thought, and the scene almost became too chaotic. Moss felt okay until the security guards came over to pull him out of the crowd. Only then did the slightly chaotic situation end.
Moss heard the audience members cheering for him and Kyoto. He smiled and waved to the crowd to express his gratitude before turning to enter the arena finally.
When he stepped into the arena, he knew the semi-finals were finally underway.
