Chapter 5: Advanced

"Sorry."

Ed's expression became stern and his eyes solemn. Even if Rhodes's grades were tricky, they should never be underestimated.

After the presiding revolutionary army announced the start, Ed charged towards Rhodes.

Whoosh!

Ed's weapon was a practice knife. When he charged with the knife in both hands, when he rushed in front of Rhodes, he slashed straight down, with an astonishing sound of breaking through the air and fierce energy, which made the surrounding teenagers secretly applaud. .

The strength of this knife is incisive.

In the field, Rhode stood there unexpectedly, unstoppable and unhindered. When the blade approached, he suddenly slashed out with a sword.

His sword was silent when it came out, but it came first.

Only heard the sound of "chi".

Obviously they are all practice swords, and the materials are the same, but when the swords collided, Ed's practice sword instantly broke into two pieces, and fell to the ground with a clang.

Ed was shocked on the spot!

At this moment, the entire square was as silent as death.

Everyone stared at the dagger on the ground in astonishment.

"This this…"

The teenagers like Leif who wanted to challenge Rhodes couldn't believe it.

This kind of practice knife, the material of the practice sword, is extremely hard, with extremely high durability, and there is no problem in using it for three years or five years.

"It's really a swordsman-level slash." After confirming it again, Kerla still couldn't hide her surprise.

With this sword, Rhodes is enough to become a swordsman, but he should be the weakest swordsman in history, because his strength is too weak.

Rhode's understated sword cut off Ed's knife directly, and he did not continue to shoot, but stood quietly in place.

"Do you still want to fight?"

He opened his mouth with a smile, but this smile fell into Ed's eyes like a devil.

Eddie obviously couldn't accept this completely unexpected result. He firmly held the half-cut knife in his hand and raised it again.

However, before his broken sword fell, the practice sword in Rhodes' hand was gently pressed against his throat.

Bang!

The half-cut knife couldn't hold it and fell to the ground.

Feeling the coldness in the throat, Ed fell into an ice cellar, and finally woke up, with a look of fear and disbelief in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, the revolutionary army in charge shook his head and announced the result.

"Lord wins!"

Seeing this, Rhode lightly retracted his practice sword, then glanced at the teenagers on the opposite side, and said, "You..."

"Are you still going to challenge?"

Obviously it was just a very flat tone, but the teenagers such as Leif on the opposite side seemed to be greatly stimulated, and took a step back in unison.

At this time, they discovered that the incision of the half-cut knife was extremely neat, and it looked as if it had been cut by the Supreme Sword.

Such a terrifying slash clearly exceeded everyone's imagination.

Leif and the others don't even know what kind of power is needed to achieve this level, even that Rez, who has a Taoist value of 387, can't do it.

Moreover, Ed's Dao Strength is one hundred and ninety-seven, and he is only a little short of qualified existence!

Reiz, who has always maintained a masterful demeanor, couldn't help but look at Rhodes with a look of fear, because he couldn't stop the slash, but Rhodes' speed was weak, so Rez was not afraid.

"Shut up."

Seeing those people on the opposite side resolutely admit their counsel, Rhode shook his head, a pity.

This feeling of severing everything with a sword is really good.

"It will take some time to prepare and brew."

"In a real battle, there won't be such a gap."

Rhodes returned to the team and thought quietly. He still had to practice more. He must be able to enter a state of concentration at will in any situation.

As Rhodes retreated, Leif and the others on the opposite side finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to challenge, but most of them ended in failure, and very few people won.

The young man who is successfully challenged will not be disqualified, but his face will be a little embarrassed.

"Okay, that's it."

In the end, Kerla said with a smile: "After investigation, there are 31 people who have become reservists this time, Rez, Rhodes... Barry, congratulations on becoming reservists."

There was a commotion in the square.

Those who passed were happy and satisfied.

The rest of the people also applauded in celebration.

In Baldigo, being able to become a revolutionary army reserve is undoubtedly a bright thing, and it is also a representative of strength.

In the pirate world, strength means everything.

And because of Rhodes' amazing swordsmanship, people's focus mostly fell on Rhodes.

The voice of admiration is endless.

Rhode's expression was calm. He had long passed the age when he was touted to go to heaven.

This is just the first step.

This position is too far away from the real peak of this world.



night.

Rhodes was busy with the relevant preparations, so he returned home, intending to fully grasp the state of concentration while it was still hot, but he was still habitually thinking, and the attribute bar popped up in front of him.

Level 1: Book of Knowledge (advanced conditions have been met)

Attribute: Intelligence +1

Energy: 100/100

Seeing that nothing had changed, Rhode curled his lips and planned to turn it off.

But in the next instant, his eyes suddenly widened, as if he had seen a ghost.

"This is the advanced condition that has been met?"

While Rhodes was full of surprises, he was also confused.

Inexplicable.

Why?

He began to recall what happened today and wondered why he would meet the advanced requirements.

fight?

No, I have fought before.

"Then, it can only be, become a reserve?"

But this is too unreliable. It's just a reservist. When it's time to become a regular, will you advance again?

In this case, this advancement is too worthless.

However, this is not important, let's talk about advanced level.

The next moment, Rhode's thoughts moved, and the empty space appeared again in front of him. In the center of the space, the book with a very mythical color was quietly suspended.

Without any hesitation, Rhodes chose to advance.

hum!

At this moment, this hazy space undergoes an astonishing change. One after another, gods flashed alternately, flying like dragons and snakes, and they rushed to the books in the center.

The dazzling divine light completely enveloped the book.

With the infusion of divine light, this quaint book suddenly emits soft fluorescence, and there is a vast and distant aura rippling.

"Gudong..."

Rhode swallowed subconsciously, unable to calm down in his heart.

hum!

In the end, under Rhode's excited gaze, the divine light dissipated, and the fluorescence on UU Reading books slowly dissipated.

The change is not big, but there are some mysterious patterns on the cover of the book.

Resisting his excitement, Rhode called up the attribute bar again.

Tier 2: Book of Knowledge

Attributes: Intelligence +2, Wisdom +1

Talent: Swordsmanship Specialization - the combination of human and sword, the savvy of swordsmanship is greatly improved! (An additional talent can be drawn)

Energy: 0/1000

Intelligence +2, which means that Rhodes' intelligence is more than twice that of ordinary people. This is already considered a genius, and his memory has been greatly improved. If he takes the college entrance examination at this time, I am afraid that he will easily be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

At the same time, the improvement in intelligence made Rhodes think faster and think more clearly.

"Battle or practice brings energy, and status determines advancement!"

"However, according to the increase in energy demand, the status required for the next advancement is estimated to be relatively high. Is it a revolutionary army cadre, commander of the Fourth Army, or Wang Xia Qiwuhai or something?"

When his thoughts were spinning, Rhodes made this guess, and he had a little understanding of the previous inexplicable advancement.

As for the perception of this newly added attribute, Rhodes did not feel any obvious change.

This should be because he has not yet mastered the ability of seeing, hearing, and domineering.

"Mastering the state of concentration should be of great help."

"If only there were strength and agility bonuses."

Rhode shook his head. Intellectual perception of these attributes is indirect and cannot directly increase Rhodes' combat power. Perceiving this attribute is even temporarily useless.

While thinking about it, Rhode's eyes also fell on the extra word in the talent column.

"Extra talent extraction? Try it out."
