Chapter 2 - Mastering the Blade: A Practical Training Guide

Rhodes did not place all his expectations on the progress of the Book of Knowledge.

He is a practical individual who understands that the only power he possesses is the most significant.

Consequently, once he activated his swordsmanship talent, he has been honing his skills in swordsmanship. Besides his medical duties, he dedicates his remaining time to practicing swordsmanship.

The repeated slashes gradually honed his mind, making him less impulsive, quite serene, and instilling a sense of unparalleled focus.

For an instant, he perceived an odd black and white realm where everything throbbed.

At that point, he was simply an unremarkable slash, yet he effortlessly severed the stake, and the cut was remarkably clean.

Regrettably, over the last three months, aside from that incident, he never reached that state once more.

Later, he remembered the storyline of the original novel and thought it closely resembled the essence of everything Zoro understood upon vanquishing the assassin MR1 from Baroque Works.

"That represents the limit of the swordsman… It can significantly enhance the lethality of the slash, and simultaneously, it can also be employed to generate the flying slash, which is the sword energy."

"The total concentration on the sword and the total concentration on the slash will lead the swordsman to unleash the remarkable slash…"

Rhodes trained with his sword while contemplating quietly.

He inquired of Kerla, this intelligent and charming girl knows many things, and provided a fairly clear response.

The essence of all things may seem enigmatic, yet fundamentally it represents a unique level of focus.

In this condition, the swordsman perceives the cadence of everything, and by adhering to this cadence, a rusty iron sword can slice through steel!

Following thirty minutes.

Experiencing ache and spasms throughout his entire body, particularly in his arms, Rhode had to halt his swordsmanship practice and take a break right there.

"The body remains very feeble, huh…"

After inhaling deeply a couple of times to ease his muscle soreness, Rhode partially closed his eyes and remembered the cuts he had just created.

Skilled in sword fighting, he can swiftly identify and rectify errors in swordsmanship training, enhancing the effectiveness of every drill.

The identical swordsmanship technique may require others to practice continuously for a day or even multiple days to develop muscle memory.

However, Rhodes requires just one to two hours, and the disparity in efficiency is like night and day.

"Rod, you can also join the assessment later."

Kerla appeared to be instructing in physical education moments ago; her fair forehead glistened with slight sweat, and her entire form radiated a youthful energy, drawing many young men to pause and observe.

"Evaluation?" "What evaluation?"

Rhodes shifted his gaze and examined her with interest.

The evaluation of the reserve force likely consists of two components: the ethical examination and the real combat assessment. Individuals who meet the qualifications can join the reserve of the revolutionary army and undergo additional training.

Kerla remarked with a grin.

As a basic physical training instructor, even if it's just for a short time, he still bears the duty of identifying talents.

The revolutionary army differs from the world government and the navy. It can enlist troops and horses transparently and fairly. It must depend solely on revolutionary army members worldwide to actively search for and enlist potential newcomers; however, this approach is certainly inefficient, and precautions against spies are essential.

Luckily, the commander of the revolutionary army, Monkey D. Drago, is an exceptionally visionary leader. Since the formation of the revolutionary army, he has adopted the strategy of beginning with a child.

The orphans gathered from around the globe will be taken to Baldigo for thorough training. These youths, who were born and grew up in the revolutionary army's headquarters, are undeniably the most genuine and reliable members of the revolutionary army, and there is essentially no need to concern ourselves with loyalty problems.

"Additional training?"

Rhodes, being a backup, doesn't mind, but after additional training, he is somewhat enthusiastic.

Practicing swordsmanship alone is not an issue. Only by depending on a strong force can you ascend more quickly and effectively.

At the very least, he needed to acquire those enhanced physical abilities and the two-tone domineering cultivation technique from the revolutionary army.

In the realm of pirates, it is not authoritative, and nearly impossible to become a powerful individual.

"Alright, I'll give it a shot later," Rhodes replied.

"Don't worry, your Dao strength assessment may be a bit challenging, but it shouldn't pose any issues in actual combat." Kerla stated with a grin.

It appears that she enjoys laughing.

Rhode gave a slight nod and then decided to take a moment to relax.

He is accustomed to approaching forthcoming events positively and prefers not to engage in uncertain activities.

Time went by.

Today appears to be an extraordinary day.

Rhodes spotted various acquaintances clustered nearby, gesturing towards him from afar, his expression a mix of thrill and nervousness.

The majority of these individuals have made their home here.

This is the command center of the Revolutionary Army. The question of whether the children can serve as a reserve for the revolutionary army is certainly a very complex issue. 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 secretly watching him from a distance, with a hint of blush on their cheeks.

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

Put it in the past life, that is the master who properly relies on his face to eat, UU reading www.sonicmtl.

com idol star, 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, no problem.

The recovery of physical strength in the pirate world is very strange. When Rhodes watched anime, he could often see the protagonists exhausted after a battle, and they recovered after a sleep, and they could jump again.

It is a pity that Rhodes does not 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 20 floors in one breath.

Gradually, the training square became quiet.

The teenagers 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 Luqi, who is known as the strongest CP9 in the past 800 years, has four thousand Taoli.

Do you know what the requirements for the Revolutionary Army Reserve are?

It should be relatively high. After all, the revolutionary army is still taking the elite line. Without a certain strength, it can't play in underground activities.

No one was on stage to speak before the test.

Under Kerla'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 Li was.
