Chapter 4 Challenges
Rhode stood with his sword, with no sorrow or joy on his face.
This is the second time he has entered this extremely wonderful state. He passed away last time, so he has to experience it carefully this time.
It seemed as if everything in the world was completely silent, without any sound, only the sound of one's own heartbeat.
“Is this the breath of all things?”
A surprise surged in Rhodes' heart, but he soon returned to peace.
It seems that in this state, the entire person's emotional consciousness is highly condensed and it is difficult to be disturbed by other factors.
"Before, I gathered my mind and soul on the slash, so I could cut off the black stone and try the others."
He began to try and concentrate his mind on other objects, as if he could hear all the breathing sounds, such as wood, stones, ground, etc.
"This seems to be domineering in seeing and hearing?"
A hint of suspicion arose in Rhodes' heart. This feeling is too similar to the description of seeing, hearing, and seeing.
Just as he was about to experience it carefully, there were suddenly bursts of incredible screams from the outside world, because the recorder combined Rhode's achievements and told him that Rhodes was qualified to become a reserve officer for the Revolutionary Army.
His Taoist power is 249!
This is not weak, among the people who passed this year, they can be considered the upper and middle level.
"How is that possible?!"
"Not right."
It was naturally hard for people to believe it, and it was in an uproar.
Everyone saw Rhodes’ physical fitness test just now. Logically speaking, it is impossible to have such a high Taoist value with such a score. If anyone hadn’t known Rhodes’ identity, they would have suspected that someone had made a falsification.
Everyone muttered, but no one raised questions in public.
Anyway, it will be a practical test later. Someone will always challenge Rhodes with unknown strength, so it will naturally be clear when the time comes.
As for the broken black stone, no one would think it was Rodes's own fault without seeing it with his own eyes.
Rhodes doesn't care about this.
After he stepped out of his concentration, he found a stone bench outside the square, sat down, and began to reminisce about the short moment of experience just now.
After this explosive experience, Rhodes had some understanding of the breathing of all things. He was ready next time and should be able to enter directly.
This is the strength of the talent of swordsmanship. He can quickly learn and master anything related to swordsmanship.
At this time, Kerr walked over and laughed in a low voice:
"You surprised me."
"It just happened to break out in the last battle, I can't do it normally."
Rhode shook his head.
"That's also very powerful. This is the secret of iron-killing that only swordsmen can understand. It seems that your swordsman has a high talent."
Kerra said with a smile, but the color of inquiry flashed deep in her eyes.
"Of course."
Rhode's eyes flashed and he smiled, "Do you know the scalpel?"
"I used that one very steadily and accurately."
"And then, when I came into contact with swordsmanship, I realized that I was really suitable for swordsmanship, and I learned it easily."
No matter what, just blame it on talent, anyway, this is not a shocking thing.
"talent?"
Kerra didn't have too much doubt, but just asked subconsciously. After she got an acceptable answer, she stopped exploring it.
"Be careful, someone will definitely challenge you later."
Someone will definitely challenge the results that are not corresponding to each other.
The so-called practical test is actually not to let Rhodes and others with qualified Taoist power values fight, but to give people with less than 200 Taoist power values a chance, a chance to challenge Rhodes and others.
After all, the Taoist power value cannot represent combat power. If you can defeat it, you will naturally have the qualifications to become a reserve.
Kerra previously thought that Rhodes could become a reserve because of actual combat tests.
Swordsmanship is best at attacking, and it is the sublimation of skills. When fighting, it is the most fearful existence and can often defeat the strong with the weak.
"Um."
Rhode nodded calmly, but did not take it seriously.
If even these people who are not even a supporting role cannot beat them, he should find a piece of tofu to kill him as soon as possible.
Rhodes inserted halfway through, so after he finished the test, the Tao force test was soon over.
"The list of people passing has been announced now, so...the next thing is the actual test."
Kerra's voice drew everyone's attention.
And almost the next moment, a series of sounds rang out.
"I, Ed, challenge Rhode!"
"I, Lever, challenge Rhode!"
...
This sudden scene caught Kerra off guard, why are there so many people?
But when she thought about it, she understood and couldn't help laughing.
Although the Taoist power value cannot fully represent combat power, it can also reflect a large part of it. In previous practical tests, there would not be too many people choosing to challenge. To challenge it is also challenging those who have a Taoist power of about 200.
But Rhodes are different.
Everyone saw with their own eyes that in the physical fitness test, Rhodes only had the strength to pass, and his physical fitness was average, such as other speed and resistance to hits.
Maybe the weapon mastery is a little stronger, but how strong can it be?
Opportunities must not be missed, and no more mistakes will come.
If you miss this time, you will have to wait another year, so everyone is rushing to fight Rhodes, and everyone who passes through will have only three chances to be challenged.
Looking at this scene, the other young girls who passed the test glanced at Rhode from the corner of their eyes, waiting to see the joke.
The Taoist power value has just passed, and those who are in their late 200s breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, Rhodes were holding on in front. This time, there were many people with a Taoist power value of nearly 200. If they accepted the challenge, they might have capsized!
"It's really troublesome."
In the crowd, Rhode curled his lips, it was not good to be too low-key.
"It seems that it is necessary to improve your presence."
Walking out of the crowd, Rhodes held the practice sword and slowly came forward.
After glanced at the extremely excited teenagers opposite, Rhode was silent and decided to shock them.
"You guys are one by one..."
"Or come together?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the hot mood of the audience suddenly became slightly abrupt, and then it became an uproar.
Everyone looked at the slightly thin boy in white with incredible eyes, as if they had known him again.
"I'll do it first!"
While the others were still in shock, a voice suddenly rang out, and at the same time took a step forward and came to the center of the venue.
"Bastard, I was actually taken first by this guy Ed."
Lever and others came to their senses and couldn't help but feel a little upset.
Ed looked a little proud, as if he had defeated Rhodes and became a reserve.
"Sorry, Dr. Rhodes, I'm going to be a reserve, too."
Ed spoke a little apologetic, but his expression was extremely firm. He obviously would not give up this opportunity, even though he had been treated under Rhodes' hands.
"If you win me, you will naturally be a reserve."
Rhode stood with his sword, his expression extremely calm.
