call! call!
After an hour of continuous warm-up, Roja put down the twenty-ton load. After all, this room was made of seastone. When he picked up and put down the twenty-ton load, there was not even a trace on the ground.
Luo Ya stretched his body and took a short rest. He pulled out Yanyue, held the sword in both hands, suddenly jumped up, and suddenly swung his sword at a special target in front of him.
laugh! laugh! laugh! !
In an instant, Roja's sword seemed to bring up nine afterimages. The wind pressure and cutting power of the sword formed by the first eight were superimposed almost instantly, but the ninth one seemed a little out of place. In the end, it was just a shadow. A small part of the sword pressure merges with the previous one.
boom! !
The sword energy swept across and hit that special target.
"The strength and speed need to be adjusted. The ninth sword must meet the standards of the first eight swords, and it must be faster, so that the sword pressure can be perfectly integrated."
Roja looked at the result of his attempt to fuse the nine swords. After nodding, he held the sword with both hands again and swung the sword again at the target in the distance.
"Come again!"
laugh! laugh! !
The Ninth Sword fused slightly, but still lost most of its power. The fusion was not perfect and still failed.
"There is still something wrong with my strength, continue..."
Roja felt that with his current arm strength and physical ability, he was enough to complete the fusion of the ten swords. What he currently lacked was just the angle of force and the understanding of sword pressure.
Without that extended sense of time, if you want to understand the deeper sword pressure, you have to use the sword countless times to pry out bit by bit.
There are still two and a half months until the third stage of the assessment, so Roja is not in a hurry, as long as he can continue to improve his strength before then.
More than half a month later.
Roja completed the sword pressure fusion of the ninth sword.
Another month and a half later, Roja completed the sword pressure fusion of the tenth sword!
…
In the Hailoushi training room.
Luo Ya suddenly jumped up, holding the sword in both hands, and an afterimage suddenly flashed across the air. At this time, it was almost impossible to see how many sword energy there were in total. He could only see that his eyes were dazzled, and the countless afterimages suddenly merged. It formed a huge sword energy and suddenly bombarded forward.
boom! !
The silver-white sword energy, like a bolt of lightning, suddenly hit the specially-made target, causing a roar, as if something exploded.
"The fusion of the tenth sword is really difficult... but after completing it, the overall feeling seems to be different."
Roja looked at the power he created after practicing sword pressure to the fusion of ten swords. His eyes flickered slightly, then he held the sword in one hand and swung out the sword.
laugh! !
Even though Roja was holding the sword with one hand, a silver-white sword energy burst out with one strike. Although it was much weaker than before, it was not like the sword energy that a one-handed sword could emit.
"I see, not only the power and speed of the slash, but also the understanding of sword pressure has been greatly improved?" Roja held Yan Yue and kept swinging the sword with one hand, with a hint of awakening in his eyes.
"The fusion of the ten swords is indeed a bottleneck. No wonder it is recorded in the Essentials of Swordsmanship that as long as the fusion of the ten swords is achieved, one will no longer be weak in this sea with swordsmanship alone."
Luo Ya continued to wave Yan Yue twice, and then carefully realized the feeling of the pressure of the sword, and then put Yan Yue into the scabbard.
After relaxing his arms, Roja thought, and the translucent attribute bar popped up in front of his eyes.
Stage 3: Dexterous Sword Soul +9
Attributes: Attack power +28o, Strength +9o, Agility +9o
Special attribute: Everything in the universe is reduced to ashes! —You can freely add fire damage when attacking with swordsmanship (evolution conditions are not met)
Special attributes: Crescent Moon Celestial! —When attacking with swordsmanship, you can release a half-moon sword slash.
Strengthening energy: 13/21o
From the time after he developed domineering and defeated Lu Qi to now, Roja's sword soul has been strengthened by two stages again. If nothing unexpected happens, then it will be the same as before, after strengthening the third stage to +1o, continue Strengthening must be the fourth stage!
"Before the third stage of assessment, it seems that there is no time to strengthen it to +1o."
Roja estimated the time and found that the third stage of the assessment would begin in three days. It seemed that after the third stage of the assessment, he would soon be able to strengthen the Sword Soul to the fourth stage!
"My current physical strength should be among the top among the branch's lieutenant generals. My domineering strength corresponds to my physical strength. At the same time, my swordsmanship alone is not inferior to that of the branch's lieutenant generals."
"Coupled with the fire ability, Yueya Tianchong's enhanced sword energy..."
Thinking of this, a glimmer of light flashed in Roja's eyes, and he tightened his fists slightly. Feeling the powerful power he possessed, a smile appeared on his face and said: "Even if you face the lieutenant general of this headquarters, you have to fight. Only when you know your strength will you know your strength!"
There is also a gap between the strength and weakness of Navy Headquarters Lieutenant Generals. The top Headquarters Lieutenant Generals can even defeat a quasi-general like Doflamingo in two moves, while the weak Headquarters Lieutenant Generals are almost instantly killed.
Roja asked himself, if he encountered the kind of lieutenant general of his headquarters who would be instantly killed by a quasi-general level, his strength should be even better!
…
Three days later.
In Marineford, the navy headquarters, there are many squares, the largest of which is undoubtedly the front of the harbor and naval fortress, the square that can accommodate 100,000 people for a battle.
Secondly.
It's in the Navy Headquarters Fortress, slightly to the side.
There are two squares smaller than the one above. The recruits of the ordinary battalion usually occupy one of the squares for training, but the other square has now been temporarily built into a place similar to a ring.
In this arena, two figures are fighting.
boom! !
Suddenly, one of the figures was blasted out and knocked down from the stage.
"Smorg, passed the sixth game!"
Seeing this scene, Lieutenant General Huo Shaoshan, who was closest to the ring, solemnly announced the result.
The figure standing on the stage and knocking another person off the stage was none other than Smoker. He had passed the sixth stage of the third stage assessment, which meant that he had now completely passed the graduation examination.
Of course, if you want better results, you can continue to challenge the next games.
Smoker chose to continue challenging the seventh game.
The enemies in the first six games are roughly between the strength of a major and a colonel.
In the sixth game, Smoker's opponent was a captain from the Navy Headquarters, but the enemy in the seventh game was actually a pirate who was imprisoned in Impel Down Prison and had a bounty of 180 million on his head!
The strength of this pirate with a bounty on his head varies from strength to strength. The weak one is comparable to the rear admiral of the navy branch, and the strong one is even stronger than the rear admiral of the headquarters!
It is clear.
Starting from the seventh game, the difficulty increases not just a little bit!
This is not just an increase in enemy strength.
The opponent is a pirate and the opponent is the navy, but they are completely different. Even if the captured pirate has been imprisoned in Impel Down, and part of his ferocious character has been worn away by the cruel prison, he is still a pirate!
A battle with the navy is basically a one-stop internal discussion, but against the pirates, the battle is absolutely different and will be a bloody battle.
The arena is not far away.
This is the auditorium for this third stage assessment.
The lineup in the audience can be said to be extremely luxurious, including quite a few Lieutenant Generals of the headquarters, three admirals including Aokiji, Kizaru Akainu, as well as former generals Zefa, hero Garp...
Even Admiral Sengoku is here!
During this period of time, the situation in the New World could no longer be interfered with at will, so the Navy temporarily imposed a strict surveillance on the Four Emperors, but did not take action easily.
Because of this, the top brass of the Navy are relatively idle for a short period of time.
In the third stage of the elite camp graduation assessment, the senior navy officials who came to watch after being invited were more luxurious than they had been in previous years. They were almost second only to the lineup in the original book, the top battle!
