The figure of Nuo Xia in front of me has disappeared.
Um?
Ghost Spider's complexion changed slightly, and a premonition of danger suddenly approaching like a ray of light on his back. His rich combat experience made him suddenly backhand punch and hit himself behind without even thinking.
boom!
With a deep muffled sound, two disproportionately sized fists collided heavily.
The next moment, Ghost Spider felt a strong surge of force coming towards him. He couldn't support it at all, so he took several steps backwards before finally stopping with a heavy breath.
On the other hand, Nuo Xia, who was opposite him, was still standing where he was, with a calm and calm expression.
Comparing the two, in terms of strength, the difference is clear.
"This kid...where did this monster come from?"
Ghost Spider's eyes were full of solemnity. At this moment, he no longer dared to treat Nuo Xia as a new recruit, but vaguely regarded him as an opponent of the same level as himself.
There must be no more reservations!
This is what I'm thinking about.
"Armed color...hardened!"
Ghost Spider let out a low drink, and as his thoughts gathered together, his fists suddenly became dark and shiny, as if they were stained with ink.
"I was forced to use my weapons."
Not far away, the flying squirrel saw this scene and showed a true expression.
However, when he turned his eyes and looked at Nuo Xia, he was surprised to find that the young man's fists were also wrapped with a pitch-black aura.
Did this new recruit, who had only been in the camp for less than a year, actually master the armed colors?
Although it seems that it cannot be hardened yet, judging from the speed and concentration of the black mist entanglement, this recruit is at least quite proficient in the armed color entanglement.
Coupled with a force superior to the Ghost Spider, this battle that was supposed to be a one-sided crushing suddenly seemed to have a confusing outcome.
"The Ghost Spider won't really capsize here, right?" came the voice of a lieutenant colonel from the headquarters next to him.
"It's still unlikely." After pondering for a moment, the Flying Squirrel shook his head slightly and said with a smile, "But if he really loses at the hands of that recruit, this may not be a bad thing for the Ghost Spider..."
On the field.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The two armed men were almost at the same time, their figures constantly intertwined and collided, their fists touched the flesh, and the wind was fierce.
The aftermath of every head-on confrontation caused fine cracks like spider webs to appear on the ground.
"Not strong enough, not hard enough! Not fast enough!"
Nuo Xia used her right fist to stun the fist coming from above from the Ghost Spider. At the same time, she wrapped her armed and domineering left arm and elbowed the opponent's waist and abdomen fiercely!
"Ghost Spider, your armor color can be hardened, which is considered to be a good practice, but the strength is too low. In front of me, it is not enough to look good at all!"
The ghost spider opposite was holding a cigarette and his face was as gloomy as water.
But he was unable to refute, so he could only block the elbow strike and use both fists together again, hitting the flaw in Nuo Xia's chest like raindrops.
"Let you be wild for a while now..."
The two fists collided fiercely again, and the Ghost Spider took several steps back. After stabilizing his body, he rushed forward again, sneering in his heart, "I want to see how long you can last in this state..."
It is true that he is at a disadvantage now. Even with the blessing of hardened weapons, the gap between him and his opponent in terms of strength and destructive power has not been completely eliminated.
However, this kid also has no way to deal with himself now. He can only suppress him slightly. There is no way to make him lose his fighting ability within a period of time.
If this continues...
With his strong endurance that he has always been proud of, he can wear down the opponent until the opponent's physical strength is exhausted just by grinding. As long as he waits for the opponent's condition to decline and finds the right opportunity to counterattack, he can easily change the situation of the battle!
Sure enough, this kid is still too young...
The victory in this battle is destined to belong to him, Ghost Spider!
Time keeps passing by.
The sun, which was still hanging overhead, has gradually moved away, and lunch has long passed.
But not a single recruit on the field was willing to leave. They all stayed where they were, watching the duel between Nuo Xia and the Ghost Spider intently.
The two of them had no idea how many rounds they had fought each other, without any breaks in between, and the direction of victory and defeat seemed to be getting clearer and clearer...
boom!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, two figures passing by each other suddenly separated in mid-air, landing at both ends of the already damaged road.
The one on the left is Nuo Xia. After he took a few steps back, he stood firm as if nothing had happened. He raised his head, his face still full of energy and energy.
And the ghost spider on the right...
Not only were there scars all over his body, but his expression was even more exhausted. His body bowed slightly, his right hand covering his chest, his mouth wide open, like blowing a bellows, and he was panting violently.
Looking up at Nuo Xia, her eyes were full of disbelief.
How can this be!
He, Ghost Spider, was the undoubted leader among the graduates of the same class in the past two years, and was a captain of the Navy headquarters. Even if his strength could not match that of a recruit, his endurance was far inferior to him?
Where did this kid come from?
"Continue, senior?"
Just at this time, Nuo Xia's faint voice drifted over again, "I haven't even done anything yet, why are you about to fall?"
"..."
The Ghost Spider's face turned green and white. He clenched his fists again and stood up straight. He was about to use the last strength of his body to fight this hateful brat to the death.
A quiet voice suddenly sounded from the audience:
"That's enough, let's stop here."
This voice was so familiar that for a moment, both the generals of the headquarters, such as Flying Squirrel Ghost Spider, and the recruits who had been watching intently, subconsciously turned their heads and followed the sound to look at the person coming.
"Teacher Zefa!"
"teacher!"
It was Zefa who appeared on the field. He nodded slightly to the people gathered around him, then looked at the bewildered Ghost Spider and sighed slightly:
"Remember what I said at the beginning, there is no shame in failure. The important thing is that only those who have the courage to admit failure and can continue to learn and improve from failures are qualified to become strong."
"Your character has always been tough and strong, a bit like that guy Sakaski. This is both an advantage and sometimes a fatal weakness. If you are too strong, it will be easy to break. Sometimes if you are too aggressive, you will only hurt yourself."
"Teacher Zefa..."
The ghost spider looked at Zefa, then turned to look at Nuo Xia, who was walking in the distance. After struggling for a moment, he finally showed a look of shame on his face and said, "I understand, teacher."
He put aside the unwillingness in his heart, turned around, and said in a deep voice to the recruits whose eyes were focused on him:
"I lost. My previous taunting behavior was my fault. I hereby retract those words and apologize to you, this new generation of recruits."
"in addition."
The ghost spider turned his head again, looked at Nuo Xia who had already arrived, sighed, and said with a wry smile:
"I have to admit, you little brat, you are indeed incredibly strong. Let alone me and Flying Squirrel, I am afraid that among the elite camp graduates in front of you, only Senior Sakaski and the others can suppress you."
"..."
The flying squirrel next to him suddenly twitched his eyes when he heard this. He tried to persuade you before and refused to listen, but now he just compares. What's the matter with bringing me along...
But even as a brigadier general, he had to admit it at this moment.
With the terrifying strength and physique displayed by the black-haired boy, even if he does not eat any Devil Fruits in the future, his achievements will not be inferior to those of them. At the very least, he still has the potential to become a lieutenant general in the headquarters.
Noxia?
Flying Squirrel silently repeated it in his mind. After witnessing today's scene, he had completely remembered the name of this junior from the new military camp.
"Thank you for the compliment, senior."
On the other side, Nuo Xia faced the Ghost Spider's surrender and had no intention of pursuing the matter further. Instead, he smiled and stretched out his hand:
"After I graduate, we may have the opportunity to fight together in the future. How about we compare with each other when we have time?"
Ghost Spider is not bad in nature, but his personality is too impatient and his brain is weak. In addition, after all, he and he are both Zefa's proud disciples, so there is no need to embarrass the other party in front of the public.
Defeating the opponent head-on and convincing him is enough.
"sure."
After the Ghost Spider was stunned for a moment, he also stretched out his hand to shake Nuo Xia's hand, but his tone was perfunctory, and there was a burst of curse in his heart.
Damn it, I can’t beat you now, why don’t we wait until you, the brat, graduates to compete again?
Do I look like a masochist?
And far away.
When they saw Ghost Spider apologizing and the two shaking hands to make peace, the recruits who were watching could no longer suppress the excitement in their hearts and raised their arms in cheers.
"Nuo Xia! Nuo Xia! Nuo Xia!" shouted one after another, like rolling thunder, resounding throughout the training ground, making Ghost Spider curl his lips and become even more depressed.
Zefa was not in a hurry to speak, and looked at the recruits below with a smile cheering and celebrating. In his opinion, the more occasions like this that can enhance the cohesion of an entire class of recruits, the better.
It has been three years since Roger was executed, and the era of great pirates has begun. Looking around the world and the Grand Line, pirate forces have become more and more rampant, wreaking havoc everywhere.
Zefa hopes that his disciples, after going to the battlefield, can cherish every Zefa around them and understand the importance of unity to the navy.
So from a certain perspective, this wave of ghost spiders can actually be considered a great achievement.
"Okay, the fight is over, the fun is over, it's time to get down to business."
When the cheers gradually died down, he patted Nuo Xia on the shoulder, turned his head to look at everyone, and said in a deep voice, "It's half past two. Strictly speaking, the afternoon training has already started for more than an hour.
, so start training for me immediately!”
"As long as you delay, the dinner time will be postponed for as long as you want. When you make up the time, you can go to rest and have a meal!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the remaining smiles on the faces of the recruits suddenly solidified.
"No, Teacher Zefa!"
"That's too much. We haven't had lunch yet!"
"I'm starving and have no strength at all. I can't train at all..."
Zefa held a toothpick in his mouth, smiling and clasping his hands behind his back, completely ignoring the screams and wails of his disciples.
"Let's go. You've been waiting for a long time. It's a rare opportunity to come back to the elite camp to see me. Don't stand here. Come and sit in my office."
He looked at the flying squirrel and the others who were waiting nearby, smiled gently, turned around and walked towards the building.
Finally, the wait was not in vain... Including Ghost Spider, the group of generals from the headquarters who made a special trip to visit the teacher quickly arranged their clothes, stood up from where they were sitting, and followed closely.
Nuo Xia, on the other hand, watched Zefa leave, then shrugged and returned to the training ground.
If you don't want to eat lunch or something, just don't eat it. With his current physical endurance, even if he is tired all day long, skipping a meal at noon will not be a problem at all, and it will not affect his practice in the afternoon.
At the worst, I can just eat more food in the evening and make up for it.
As for the companions around me who are still mourning and wailing...
Well, I can only say that the joys and sorrows of human beings are not the same.
"Speaking of which..."
After returning to the corner where he was practicing alone, he turned around and glanced at the direction where Zefa disappeared, frowning slightly and looking thoughtful.
He didn't know when Zefa came back from the meeting. He had probably been there for a while and was just silently watching the battle between him and the ghost spider.
But it doesn't matter. What's important is that when Zefa left just now, Nuo Xia faintly noticed that there was a bit of worry in the other person's eyes.
Is it because of the high-level meeting held in the morning?
Even Zefa, who had been relegated to the second line, had to be called in urgently. I am afraid that the navy encountered an unexpected accident that caused a huge headache for the entire headquarters.
But these have nothing to do with me for the time being.
Nuo Xia shook his head, put aside the messy thoughts, and reinvested in domineering training.
Carnivore disdain does not exist in Marineland. With Vice Admiral Crane and Vice Admiral Zhizi here, he does not need to worry about the naval strategic level planning, and he, an unknown recruit, does not need to worry about it.
What I have to do now is to practice hard.
When you graduate and become a general in the future, as long as you are strong enough, you will naturally be qualified to participate in meetings of this level.
………………
late at night.
Under the cold and silent crescent moon, the training ground was empty, except for a black-haired boy in a secluded corner who was still concentrating on his hard training.
"The mastery of armed color domineering has improved again."
Nuo Xia punched out, looked at the thick iron wall that he had punched through, nodded with satisfaction, and retracted his right arm wrapped in thick black mist.
"If we continue at this pace and practice hard for a while, the day after tomorrow at the latest, we will be able to start exploring and hardening the color of our weapons."
In today's battle with the ghost spider, he had already experienced the power of hardened weapons.
The opponent was obviously far inferior to me in terms of strength and speed, but after hardening, relying on the increase brought by the weapon color, he had to fight hard for several hours before finally losing his strength and declaring defeat.
This made him a little impatient, wanting to master the weapon color hardening as soon as possible.
Also, having said that.
In today's daytime duel, I was able to dominate the opponent with a huge advantage, which was actually a bit of a fluke.
If the opponent hadn't given up fencing on his own initiative and used physical skills to fight against him, I'm afraid that even if he could win in the end, it would never be so easy.
After all, Ghost Spider is a real swordsman, and with the ability to return life, he can make the long red hair behind him extend like spider legs, and he can fight with six or seven swords at the same time.
"So I have to step up my sword skills..."
Nuo Xia felt the urgency of time, "It seems that there are only about ten days left for the next assessment, right? I hope that before then, I can pass the last threshold of swordsmanship and officially become a swordsman."
While silently thinking about his future plans, he continued to practice hard, and time passed slowly and quietly.
I don’t know how long it will take.
Nuo Xia, who was sweating profusely, finally finished the training at hand and retreated to a bench aside, planning to take a short break of more than ten minutes.
It was at this time that he glanced at the increasingly dark night sky and remembered that it seemed to be past midnight.
With the new week coming, the weekly random props in the store should also be refreshed.
"Last time it was too tasteless, I hope this week's one will be more reliable."
Nuo Xia murmured in her heart, and with some expectation, she opened the system panel and glanced directly at the brand-new store bar:
[m1917 American Smith & Wesson: 50 points]
[Domineering Practice Specialization Acceleration Card (60 days): 6000 points]
[ppap video (Navy recruitment promotional video): 100 points]
[Rebirth of severed limbs (talent skill): 360,000 points]
