"..."

Looking at the stretched out hand, Mihawk had a rather complicated expression. After being silent for a moment, he still held Nuo Xia's palm and stood up straight.

"Indeed...it's all over." He murmured.

The difference is really too big.

Mihawk sighed in his heart. He had obviously tried his best from the beginning, but until the end, he was unable to force out Mr. Nosha's trump card.

Regardless of their basic physical qualities or their attainments in swordsmanship, the two of them are not on the same level at all.

What if this battle is not a friendly sparring between swordsmen, but a real fight to the death?

I'm afraid that in less than half an hour, I would have been completely defeated and turned into a dead soul under those two swords...

"I'm sorry, Your Excellency Nuo Xia."

He first sighed softly and put Heidaoye back behind his back, then raised his head again and looked directly into Nuo Xia's eyes:

"Although I am very grateful that you can take the time to give me some advice this time, as a swordsman, it is impossible for a single failure to defeat your fighting spirit. Therefore, after leaving this time, I will work harder.

Practice and practice and improve your sword skills."

"I hope that when I meet you next time, I won't need you to hold back, and I will be qualified to fight with you until the last moment."

Mihawk's attitude change was quite subtle.

When we met before, although his tone was very polite and respectful, he still had a touch of arrogance, and he also addressed Nuo Xia as "you".

But now it has become "you".

Obviously, after this discussion, Mihawk was completely convinced of Noxia's swordsmanship.

"I'm looking forward to that day."

Nuo Xia saw all this and smiled leisurely.

The future Hawkeye is known as the world's greatest swordsman, and can even fight the red-haired one of the Four Emperors. He is almost recognized as the strongest Shichibukai, and his potential is naturally infinite and terrifying.

But why should he care too much?

Hawkeye is young, but he himself is even younger. When they meet again ten or twenty years later, it will be considered good if Hawkeye can maintain the gap today, let alone catch up with him.

As for the title of the world's greatest swordsman.

It is destined that from the beginning to the end, it will only be him, Romanov Nosha, Mihawk, the eagle eye, and Bista, the foil sword who is also a great swordsman in the double-sword style. In the end, they can only be companions and foils.

…

The turbulent sea gradually calmed down.

Nuo Xia also returned to the warship and watched Hawkeye get on the boat. After taking off his hat and giving a slight salute, he sat down with his legs crossed and let the wooden board under him continue to drift away with the waves...

Gradually it turned into a small black dot that was invisible in the sight.

Wow, my legs are numb even when I stand, but I still can’t wait for the scene of Hawkeye rowing a boat at night with a black knife.

That guy was too proud. Even though the sea breeze had blown his course, he still insisted on saving face and suffering, and refused to lose his grace.

No wonder he chased Creek all the way to the East China Sea. Nuo Xia sighed regretfully and walked towards the restaurant under the admiring eyes of the surrounding sailors.

The place in the West Sea was really not challenging. He had not fought seriously for a long time, but this time he was just able to get over it. He felt refreshed and had a great appetite, and he managed to make six more bowls of rice than usual.

After he had eaten and drank enough, he returned to the training room and continued to practice hard day and night.

There were no more disturbances in the subsequent voyage. More than ten days passed in a flash, and the warship finally arrived at the headquarters smoothly and sailed into the port of Marineland.

It was already dark at this time, and the headquarters fortress building was dimly lit, so it was obviously not suitable to go to work at this time.

Nuo Xia thought for a while and decided to go home and have a good sleep first, and wait until early tomorrow morning to report to Marshal Kong.

As for this "going home"...

He did not receive housing in the headquarters, and it was impossible to go to the elite camp to squeeze into the student dormitory, so he naturally went to Taotu's home and opened the door with the key that Little Rabbit gave him.

After washing up, I lay down on Little Rabbit's comfortable and soft big bed, sniffing the familiar fragrance coming from between the pillows and quilts. The fatigue from the long journey suddenly dissipated a lot.

Nuo Xia groaned comfortably, opened the system panel habitually, and after glancing at his properties, he suddenly discovered that there was this extra line of reminder in the message bar:

[Belmeier’s relationship has been established for one year]

[You have received an additional reward for year-end sign-in: A-level gift box*1]

…

"It's been a full year..."

Nuo Xia was slightly startled. He glanced at the extra A-level gift box in the backpack column, and then glanced at the other two gift boxes above, his eyes flickering slightly.

"In this way, you will get all three gift boxes."

After the relationship is established, he will receive a fixed reward of 20,000 points for every month he signs in. This is one of the sustainable and reliable sources of his points growth in the past.

When the term expires for one year, you will receive an additional A-level gift box. Therefore, before today, the gift boxes for Taotu and Shia have been distributed to their accounts one after another.

But Nuo Xia has been holding back and not opening it.

Firstly, it is because his expectations for A-class gift boxes are not as strong as those for S-class gift boxes.

Secondly, out of some small evil interest, I wanted to wait until all three girlfriends’ rewards were collected before they could open the box together.

Triple unboxing, triple happiness, and comparison to see who produced the gift box, the reward will be more generous.

"Then, let's go in order, starting with Shia's."

After clicking on Shia's gift box, the familiar blue dice appeared, and the words marked on each side were the same.

Attribute points, consumables, weapons, skill scrolls, defense items, and eggs.

Although it was only an A-grade gift box, there was still a sense of ritual about unboxing. Nuo Xia rubbed her hands, prayed silently in her heart, and shouted:

"Open it for me!"

[Grade A gift box, opening, please wait]

The blue dice began to spin rapidly, and Nuo Xia watched it motionless.

[End of roll point]

[Type of reward in this gift box: Skill Scroll]

The golden light dissipated, and something like an ancient scroll appeared in front of me. At the same time, the corresponding text box also appeared in time:
Chapter completed!
