"Ding, you have used up one opportunity to use the life simulator and are starting the life simulation...
At 17 years old, you have entered the naval school for a year, and have mastered basic knowledge such as shooting, navigation, artillery, and steering, etc., and your strength has been significantly improved.
At the age of 18, because you have completed the basic course and your physical fitness has reached the standard, you are allowed to start practicing the Sixth Form of the Navy, and you have learned all six forms within one year.
At the age of 19, you hid most of your strength, graduated from the Naval Academy with mediocre grades, and became an ordinary navy officer.
And after two years of training, your swordsmanship has improved again, and you have successfully unleashed your sword energy, becoming a "swordsman".
You are 20 years old and have always kept a low profile. You just wanted to apply for external transfer, but in the same year, the great pirate Golden Lion Shiji, who was trapped on the sixth floor of Impel Down City, escaped from prison and joined the team to stop him.
His strength was no match for Shiji the Golden Lion, and he eventually died outside the Impel City..."
"This acquaintance simulation is over. You have received the following rewards in total. Please choose one of them to receive it.
1. Basic knowledge of shooting, navigation, artillery and steering.
2. How to practice the Six Naval Styles.
3. Swordsmanship and perception at the level of "Swordsman".
4. Physical fitness has been strengthened in the past four years.
In the second life simulation, he died young as before, but Wood no longer felt surprised.
This world is inherently dangerous. If they were allowed to successfully simulate until they were seventy or eighty years old, after a few rounds of simulation, they would basically be invincible to the sea.
Compared to the first time I died in a shipwreck in the simulation, this time it was a more dignified death.
Moreover, Wood was not too surprised by this method of death.
Hiding his strength is indeed something he will do, and this can indeed increase his chances of survival.
However, the only thing to blame is his bad luck, as he unexpectedly met the captain of the Flying Pirates, Golden Lion Shiki.
The other party was from the same era as Roger, the Pirate King. More than ten years later, he was also a powerful figure among the legendary pirates.
As the first person in history to be able to escape from Impel Down, Wood a few years later would not make much difference in front of him whether he had hidden strength or not, and it was normal for him to be killed.
Because of Roger's death, the Golden Lion fought against the Navy Headquarters alone, and finally fought against Garp and Sengoku for several days before being thrown into the Impel Down City.
A few years later in Impel Down City, he would choose to break off his legs and escape from Impel Down City, which was correct in terms of timing.
Closer to home, looking at the four rewards that appeared before the end of the simulation, unlike the first time, Wood fell into a brief hesitation this time.
Among the four rewards, the first one can be directly eliminated. It seems that whether it is shooting or artillery, Wood is not very interested. He plans to take the cold weapon route.
As for the second reward, if the reward was "Six Naval Styles" instead of the cultivation method, Wood might choose it, but if it was only the cultivation method, he would give it up right now.
He had already obtained the training experience of "Six Naval Styles" from Jia Ji, and he could master the six styles in advance by relying on trial and error.
If you learn it directly, you can save time and cost, but if you only have the cultivation method, it will be useless to Wood.
The main reason for Wood's hesitation is the third and fourth rewards.
He has long been envious of the "Sword Master"-level swordsmanship and insights that unleash his sword energy, but the four-year physical bonus is also very good.
Under the intense ideological struggle, the system even counted down the time to receive the reward. In order to avoid wasting water in a bamboo basket, Wood finally chose the "Swordsman" level swordsmanship for the third reward after some hesitation.
The reason is also very simple. Although the physical bonus of four years is very good, as long as you follow the steps, Wood can still achieve it in the future.
But it's hard to say what swordsmanship and perception are at the "Swordsman" level. After all, this thing is inseparable from comprehension and talent, and it also depends on luck.
Don't look at it. In the second simulation, Wood successfully learned to release his sword energy and became a "swordsman".
But if he had to live like this again, Wood might not be able to do it.
On the one hand, there are things that can be obtained by accumulating time, and on the other hand, there are precious insights that are rare to encounter. It is actually very obvious how to make a choice.
After the reward was withdrawn, a large amount of knowledge poured into Wood's mind. This was not the first time Wood had experienced this feeling, but it still felt quite wonderful.
Obviously there was no change in the external appearance of his body, but Wood could feel that many things had been added to his mind, and his understanding of the way of the sword became clearer.
If he were to meet the tough-armed Cook again, Wood felt that he would not fight as hard as last time.
Even if there is no need to use small tricks, if the opponent uses the Devil Fruit ability, Wood is confident that he can kill Cook and the entire Iron Arm Pirates directly with only minor injuries to himself.
The knives in his hands were swung into the air, and a sharp sword energy suddenly shot out from Wood's palm, leaving a shallow knife mark on the foot of the bed beside him.
Letting out sword energy! This is also a man’s dream. After all, every man has a martial arts dream since he was a child, and letting out sword energy is a symbol of a master!
"It's a pity that the previous sword was broken when fighting Iron Arm Cook, otherwise I really want to see how powerful the external slash I am swinging with all my strength is!"
The navy is also equipped with standard swords, but these mass-produced inferior swords simply cannot withstand Wood's torment.
To the extent that Wood now uses wooden swords tied with rocks when practicing kendo every day.
Don't ask why, because you can make a wooden sword by yourself, but a navy standard sword, no matter how poor the quality is, still costs money.
"It's time to get a better saber. Now I'm a 'swordsman' after all. It's a little unreasonable to not even have a decent sword."
The mastery of swordsmanship has now reached the level of "Sword Master". It should not be that simple to improve again in a short time.
Jiaji actually gave me the training experience of the Sixth Form of the Navy, so I will start intense and high-intensity physical training in the near future to polish my body to the point where I can start to master the Sixth Form.
Night has fallen. In the freshman dormitory of the Naval Academy, the freshmen who have endured a day of heavy classes are now sleeping like dead pigs on the bed, snoring loudly.
But Wood quietly got up, put on a set of casual clothes, took the training equipment, sneaked out of the student dormitory, climbed over the fence with ease, and ran into the forest behind the Naval Academy.
