"I'm sorry."

Ed's expression was cold, his eyes were serious, even if Rod's results were boring, they should definitely not be underestimated.

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

Sou!

Ed's weapon was a practice knife, he held the knife in both hands, and when he rushed in front of Rod, he slashed straight down, bringing an amazing sound of breaking the air, and the fierce energy made the teenagers around him secretly applaud.

The power of this knife is incisive.

Rhodes in the field stood there unexpectedly, not blocking or dodging, and when the blade was near, he suddenly slashed out with a sword.

His sword came out silently, but it came first.

Just listen to the "snort".

Obviously, they are all practice swords, and the material is the same, but when the swords collide together, it is Ed's practice knife that instantly breaks in two, and when there is a thud, it falls to the ground.

Ed was shocked on the spot!

The entire vicinity of the square was as silent as death at this moment.

Everyone stared at the short knife on the ground in amazement.

"This ...... This ......"

Lev and other teenagers who wanted to challenge Rhodes couldn't believe it.

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

"It's really a sword-level slash." Again, Kerra still couldn't hide her surprise.

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

With an understatement of the sword, after directly cutting Ed's knife, Rod did not continue to shoot, but stood quietly in place.

"Do you still want to fight?"

He smiled, but the smile fell to Ed's eyes like a demon.

Ed obviously couldn't accept this completely unexpected result, he held the half-cut knife in his hand and raised it again.

However, before his broken knife fell, the practice sword in Rod's hand was already gently pressed against his throat.

Bang dang!

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

Feeling the cold chill in his throat, Ed finally came to his senses as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, with a look of fear and disbelief in his eyes.

Looking at this scene, the revolutionary army in charge of presiding over shook his head and announced the result.

"Rhodes wins!"

Seeing this, Rod lightly withdrew his practice sword, then glanced at the teenagers opposite, and said, "You ......"

"Do you want to challenge yourself?"

Obviously, it was just a very flat tone, but the young men such as Raffer on the opposite side seemed to be greatly stimulated, and they all took a step back, not daring to look at Rhodes at all, and lowered their heads one after another.

At this time, they found that the incision of the half-cut knife was extremely neat, and it looked as if it had been cut by a supreme fast knife.

Such a terrifying slash is obviously beyond everyone's imagination.

Raffer and the others didn't even know what kind of strength they could achieve to this level, even that Rez, whose Dao power was worth three hundred and eighty-seven, couldn't do it.

Moreover, Ed's Dao power is one hundred and ninety-seven, and he is only one point away from qualifying!

Rez, who has always maintained the demeanor of a master, couldn't help but look at Rode, looking a little jealous, because he couldn't block that kind of slash, but Rode's speed was weak, so Reze was not afraid.

"Hush."

Looking at the people on the other side who decisively confessed, Rod shook his head, a little pity.

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

"Take the initiative to get into focus, and it will probably take some time to prepare."

"In a real battle, there is no such gap."

Rhodes returned to the team, quietly thinking, still have to practice more, and be sure to be able to enter a state of concentration as he wants in any situation.

As Rod retreated, the opposite Lever and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to challenge, but most of them ended in failure, and few people won.

The teenager who was successfully challenged would not be disqualified, but his face would be a little embarrassed.

"Alright, that's it."

In the end, Kerra said with a smile: "After investigation, the people who became reservists this time are Rez and Rhodes...... There are thirty-one people in Barry, congratulations on becoming a reserve. ”

There was a commotion in the square.

Those who passed were beaming and satisfied.

The rest of the crowd applauded in celebration.

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

In the world of pirates, strength is everything.

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

The sound of admiration is endless.

Rhodes looked calm, he was long past the age of being touted to go to heaven.

This is just the first step.

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

……

Nighttime.

After Rod finished the relevant preparations, he returned home, intending to completely master the concentration while it was hot, but he still habitually moved his mind, and the attribute bar popped up in front of him.

Level 1: Book of Knowledge (advanced conditions met)

Attribute: Intelligence +1

Energy: 100/100

Seeing that nothing seemed to have changed, Rhodes pursed his lips and planned to turn it off.

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

"Is this an advanced condition met?"

While Rhodes was pleasantly surprised, he was also confused.

Be all abroad.

Why?

He began to recall what had happened today, wondering why the advanced condition had been met.

Fight?

It shouldn't be, and has fought before.

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

But this is too unreliable, it's just a reserve, and it won't be advanced again when the time comes, right?

In this case, this advancement is too worthless.

However, it doesn't matter, let's talk about it at the advanced level.

In the next moment, Rhodes's mind moved, and the void space appeared in front of him again, and in the center of the space, the very mythical book, was quietly suspended.

Without the slightest hesitation, Rhodes chose to advance.

Airplanes!

At this moment, this hazy space underwent an astonishing change, and one after another divine rays flashed, flying like dragons and snakes, and flocked to the books in the center.

The brilliant divine light completely envelops the books.

With the injection of divine light, this quaint book suddenly emitted a soft fluorescence, and there was a vast and distant aura rippling.

"Gollum ......"

Rod subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and it was difficult to calm down in his heart.

Airplanes!

Finally, under Rod's excited gaze, the divine light dissipated, and the fluorescence on the book slowly dissipated.

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

Holding back his excitement, Rhodes called up the attribute bar again.

Second Order: The Book of Knowledge

Attributes: Intelligence +2, Perception +1

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

Energy: 0/1000

Intelligence +2, which means that Rod's intelligence is more than twice that of ordinary people, which is already considered a genius, and his memory has greatly improved, so if he goes to take the college entrance examination at this time, I am afraid that he can easily be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University.

At the same time, the improvement of intelligence made Rod's thoughts turn faster and his thinking became clearer.

"Fighting or cultivation brings energy, and status determines advancement!"

"However, according to the increase in energy demand, the status of the next advance requirement is estimated to be relatively high, is it a cadre of the Revolutionary Army, the commander of the Fourth Army, or His Majesty the Seven Martial Seas or something?"

In a flash of thought, Rod made this guess, and had some understanding of the inexplicable advance before.

As for perceiving this new attribute, Rhodes didn't feel a noticeable change.

This should be because he has not yet mastered the ability to see and hear domineering.

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

"If only there was strength and agility."

Rod shook his head, intelligence perception of these attributes is indirect, it cannot directly increase Rhodes's combat power, and perception of this attribute is even temporarily useless.

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

"Extra draw talents? Try. ”
