Chapter 2： Handsome is a lifetime thing

Rhodes did not pin all his hopes on the advancement of the Book of Knowledge.

He is a pragmatic person who knows that only the power in his hands is the most important.

Therefore, after he started his swordsmanship specialization talent, he has been practicing swordsmanship all the time. Except for his job as a doctor, he spends the rest of his time practicing swordsmanship.

The slashing again and again made his mind gradually tempered, no longer impetuous, very calm, and had a feeling of incomparable concentration.

At one point, he saw a strange black and white world where everything was pulsating.

At that moment, he was just a very ordinary slash, but he easily cut off the stake, and the incision was extremely neat.

Unfortunately, in the past three months, except for that accident, he never entered that state again.

Afterwards, he recalled the plot of the original book, and felt that it was very similar to the breath of all things that Zoro realized when he defeated the killer MR1 of the Baroque Works.

"That's the threshold of a swordsman... It can greatly increase the damage of the slash, and at the same time, it can also use it to cut out the flying slash, which is the sword energy."

"The absolute focus on the sword, the absolute focus on the slash, will make the swordsman burst out with incredible slashes..."

Rhodes pondered silently while practicing his sword.

He asked Kerla, this smart and lovely girl knew a lot of things, and gave a relatively clear answer.

The breath of all things sounds mysterious, but in essence it is an unparalleled state of concentration.

In this state, swordsmen can feel the rhythm of all things, and following this rhythm, even a rusted iron sword can cut through steel!

…

After half an hour.

Feeling the soreness and convulsions all over his body, especially his arms, Rhode had to stop practicing swordsmanship and start resting on the spot.

"My body is still too weak, huh..."

After taking a few breaths to relieve the soreness of his lower muscles, Rhode closed his eyes slightly and quietly recalled the slashes he had just made.

Talented in swordsmanship, he can easily detect and correct mistakes in swordsmanship practice, maximizing the effect of each exercise.

The same swordsmanship movement, perhaps others need a day or even several days of uninterrupted practice to form muscle memory.

But Rhodes only needs one to two hours, and the difference in efficiency is like heaven and earth.

"Rod, you can also take part in the assessment later."

Kerla seemed to be teaching physical art just now. There was a little perspiration on her white forehead, and her whole body was full of youthful energy, which made many young men stop and watch.

"Assessment? What assessment?"

Rhodes turned his head and looked at her curiously.

"The assessment of the reserve force probably includes two items: the morality test and the actual combat test. Those who pass the test can become the reserve force of the Revolutionary Army and receive further training."

Kerla said with a smile.

As an instructor of basic physical training, although it is only temporary, he still shoulders the responsibility of discovering talents.

The revolutionary army is not like the world government or the navy, which can recruit soldiers and horses in an open and honest way. It can only rely on the revolutionary army individuals all over the world to actively seek and recruit potential newcomers, but this is undoubtedly inefficient, and it is necessary to guard against spies.

Fortunately, the leader of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Drago is a very foresighted leader. Since the founding of the revolutionary army, he has pursued the policy of starting from a baby.

The orphans collected from all over the world are brought to Baldigo for intensive training. These young people born and raised in the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army are undoubtedly the freshest and most trustworthy blood of the Revolutionary Army, and there is basically no need to worry about loyalty issues.

"Further training?"

Rhodes, who is a reserve, doesn't care, but for further training, he is a little eager.

It's not a problem to practice swordsmanship by yourself. Only by relying on a big power can you rise faster and better.

Not to mention other things, he had to get those advanced physical skills and the two-color domineering cultivation method from the revolutionary army.

In the world of pirates, one cannot be domineering, and it is basically impossible to become a strong person.

"Okay, I'll try it later," Rhode said.

"Relax, your Dao test is probably going to be a little troublesome, and it should be fine in actual combat." Kerla said with a smile.

She seems to like to laugh?

Rhode nodded slightly, and then seized the time to rest.

He is used to facing what is about to happen with a grand attitude, and he doesn't like to do things he is not sure about.

Time passed by.

Today seems to be a special day.

Rhodes saw a lot of people he knew gathered around, pointing at him from a distance, with expressions of excitement and anxiety on his face.

Most of these people lived here.

This is the headquarters of the Revolutionary Army. Whether the children can become the revolutionary army reserve is undoubtedly a very tangled news. It is roughly the same as whether the children from other places can become the navy and the college entrance examination in the previous life.

Many people saw Rhodes standing with a sword and greeted him with a smile. The name of Doctor Rhodes is relatively well-known in Baldigo.

There were also many young girls who secretly looked at him from a distance, with a hint of blush on their cheeks.

It has to be mentioned here that although Rhodes is a bit poor in physical talent, his physique is much thinner than his peers, but his appearance is first-class.

In the past life, that is the master who eats his face properly, the idol star of UU reading , but that's it.

And when he came to this pirate world where all kinds of ugly people, transvestites, exhibitionists, and gigantism were everywhere, it was even more eye-catching. He dared to recognize the second, and no one dared to recognize the first.

Well, there's nothing wrong.

The recovery of physical strength in the Pirate World is very strange. When Rhodes watched anime, he often saw the protagonists exhausted after a battle. After a sleep, they recovered and they were able to jump around again.

It's a pity that Rhodes doesn't have such an enviable monster physique.

But he prepared a lot of high-energy jerky. This kind of thing contains extremely rich energy and nutrition, which is much stronger than the Red Bull in the previous life.

In just ten minutes, Rhode felt that his shoulders and legs were no longer sore, and he could go up twenty floors in one breath.

Gradually, the training square became quiet.

The boys and girls stood on the edge, looking at some strange equipment in the field, their eyes full of curiosity and excitement.

"These are the devices for testing Dao strength?"

Rhodes narrowed his eyes.

The setting of Dao Li in the original book is rather vague.

The standard is that an ordinary navy soldier with a gun has ten points of Taoli, superman is more than 400, and Rob Ludge, who is known as the strongest CP9 in the past 800 years, has 4,000 Taoli.

I wonder what the requirements for the revolutionary army reserve are?

It should be relatively high. After all, the revolutionary army is still following the elite line. Without a certain strength, it cannot play well in underground activities.

No one spoke on stage before the test.

Under Kerr's resolute arrangement, the boys and girls immediately started the Dao Strength test.

And Rhode, who was watching from the side, gradually understood what the so-called Dao power was.
