Chapter 4： challenge

Rhodes stood with his sword in hand, with no sadness or joy on his face.

This is the second time he has entered this extremely wonderful state. The last time he passed away in a flash, this time he has to feel it well.

It was as if everything between heaven and earth was completely silent, without any sound, only the sound of his own heartbeat.

"Is this the breath of all things?"

There was a touch of surprise in Rhodes' heart, but he quickly regained his calm.

It seems that in this state, the whole person's emotional awareness is highly concentrated, and it is difficult to be disturbed by other factors.

"Before, I focused my mind on slashing, so I was able to cut off the black stone. Try something else."

He began to try to focus his mind on other objects. It seemed to be faint, and he could hear the sound of breathing, such as wood, stone, ground, etc.

"Does this seem to be domineering?"

Rhodes couldn't help but feel a bit of doubt in his heart. This feeling was too similar to the description of seeing and hearing.

Just when he was about to comprehend, there were sudden bursts of unbelievable exclamations from the outside world, because the recorder combined Rhodes' achievements and revealed that Rhodes was qualified to become a revolutionary army reserve.

His Dao Strength value is two hundred and forty-nine!

This is not weak. Among the people who passed this session, they are considered to be in the upper and middle reaches.

"How can it be?!"

"That's not right."

Naturally, people couldn't believe it, and there was an uproar.

Everyone saw Rhode's physical fitness test just now. It stands to reason that such a result cannot have such a high Dao Strength value. If it wasn't for everyone who knew Rhode's identity, they all suspected that someone was cheating. .

Everyone muttered, but no one raised doubts in public.

Anyway, it will be an actual combat test later. There will always be someone who will challenge Rhodes, whose strength is unknown.

As for the broken black stone, without seeing it with their own eyes, no one would think that Rhode did it.

Rhodes doesn't care about that.

After he withdrew from the state of concentration, he found a stone bench outside the square, sat down, and began to reminisce about the brief experience just now.

After this explosive experience, Rhodes has some understanding of the breath of all things. He should be able to enter directly next time when he is ready.

This is the strength of the talent of swordsmanship specialization. He can quickly learn and master anything related to swordsmanship.

At this moment, Kerla came over and whispered:

"You surprised me."

"It just happened to break out. I can't do it normally."

Rhode shook his head.

"That's also very powerful. This is the profound meaning of cutting iron that can only be understood by swordsmen. It seems that your swordsmanship talent is very high."

Kerla said with a smile, but there was a look of inquiry in the depths of her eyes.

"of course."

Rhode's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile, "Do you know a scalpel?"

"The one I use is very stable and accurate."

"Afterwards, when I came into contact with swordsmanship, I realized that I was really suitable for swordsmanship, and I learned it easily."

Anyway, just blame it on talent, it's not a shocking thing anyway.

"Talent?"

Kerla didn't have any doubts, she just asked subconsciously. After she got an acceptable answer, she didn't go into further details.

"Be careful, someone will challenge you later."

The results that do not correspond to the front and back will definitely be challenged by someone.

The so-called actual combat test is not actually for Rhodes and others with qualified Dao Strength to fight, but to give people with less than 200 Dao Strength a chance, a chance to challenge Rhodes and others.

After all, the Dao Strength value cannot represent the combat power. If you can defeat it, you will naturally have the qualification to become a reserve.

Previously, Kerla thought that Rhodes could become a reserve because of the actual combat test.

Swordsmanship is the best at attacking and sublimating skills. When fighting, it is the most feared existence. Often, the weak can defeat the strong.

"Um."

Rhode nodded calmly, but didn't take it to heart.

If he can't even beat these people who are not even good at fighting, he should find a piece of tofu earlier and kill him.

Rhodes inserted in the middle, so after he finished the test, the power test was over soon.

"The list of those who passed has now been announced, so... the next step is the actual combat test."

Kerla's voice attracted everyone's attention.

And almost in the next instant, a series of sounds rang out.

"I, Ed, challenge Rhodes!"

"I, Leif, challenge Rhodes!"

…

This sudden scene caught Kerla a little off guard, why so many people.

But when she thought about it, she understood and couldn't help laughing.

Although the Dao Strength value cannot fully represent the combat effectiveness, it can also reflect a large part of it. In the past actual combat tests, not many people chose to challenge, and the challenge is to challenge the existence of Dao Strength of two hundred or so.

But Rhodes is different.

Everyone has seen with their own eyes that in the physical fitness test, Rhodes only barely passed the strength, and other physical qualities such as speed and resistance were average.

Perhaps the weapon mastery is a little stronger, but where can it be?

Not to be missed.

If you miss this time, you will have to wait another year, so everyone is rushing to fight Rhodes, and each person who passes has only three chances to be challenged. UU Reading

Looking at this scene, the rest of the boys and girls who passed the test glanced at Rhodes from the corner of their eyes, waiting to see the joke.

The Dao Strength value just passed, and the few people in their early 200s breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Rhodes was standing in front of him. This time, there are quite a few people with a Dao value close to 200. If they accept the challenge, they may capsize!

"so troublesome."

In the crowd, Rhode pouted, it's not good to be too low-key.

"It seems that it is necessary to improve the sense of existence."

Walking out of the crowd, Rhodes held the practice sword and slowly came forward.

Glancing at the excited teenagers across from him, Rhodes fell silent and decided to shock them.

"You, one by one..."

"Still go together?"

As soon as these words came out, the fiery emotions in the audience stagnated slightly, and then there was an uproar.

Everyone looked at this slightly skinny boy in white with incredible eyes, as if they had known him again.

"I'll come first!"

While the others were still in shock, a voice suddenly sounded, and at the same time they took a step forward and came to the center of the arena.

"Bastard, this guy Edd got ahead of him."

When Leif and the others came back to their senses, they couldn't help but feel a little annoyed.

And Ed was a little proud, as if he had defeated Rhodes and became a reserve.

"I'm sorry, Dr. Rhodes, I also want to be a reservist."

Eddie was apologetic, but his expression was very firm. Obviously, he would not give up this opportunity, even if he had treated his injuries under Rhodes.

"If you beat me, you will naturally be a reservist."

Rhodes stood with his sword in hand, his expression extremely calm.
