Is that a catchphrase from the original work? So cute! Yi Shuihan was completely charmed.
"Of course, do you think I'm the kind of person who would lie? I'm so sincere." Yi Shuihan looked at Tina with a serious expression, as if it really was true.
Fortunately, Tina was clearly still an inexperienced girl, and she actually believed it, nodding seriously, "Okay, Tina believes you."
It's called an equipment room, but the reality is quite different. Have you ever seen an equipment room the size of a playground?
When Yi Shuihan and his group entered, there was no one else present except for a middle-aged man who appeared to be guarding them.
"Oh, it's Tina! And there's another newbie here, are you here to collect your equipment? It should be C-rank, right? Wait here, I'll get it for you right away." The uncle said, turning to leave.
"Hey! Wait a minute, Uncle Locke, it's not C-rank, Professor Zephyr said it's A-rank," Tina quickly said.
The navy officer known as Uncle Locke paused, turned around, and asked with a strange expression, "This equipment should be his, right?"
“Yes!” Tina answered naturally.
Locke was stunned, scrutinizing Yi Shuihan several times before turning around. "I came out with an A-rank, that's truly remarkable! So young and already..."
The sound gradually faded into the distance until it disappeared completely.
Chapter 21, Ignored
"Here you go, this is the A-grade equipment you wanted." Locke handed Yi Shuihan three items: a set of clothes, a silver card, and a bead of unknown purpose.
"That's all?" Yi Shuihan muttered to himself, unable to see why these three items could be called A-grade equipment.
Locke overheard Yi Shuihan's mutterings and said irritably, "What else do you want? Don't be fooled by their appearance; this suit is a special rest suit made of special materials. Not only is its defense amazing, but it can also regulate the wearer's gravity."
"The maximum speed for D-level is 2x, C-level is 4x, B-level is 6x, A-level is 8x, and the final S-level can even reach 10x, making it an extremely powerful tool for cultivators."
Gravity suits? This gives me a feeling of being in the Dragon Ball world, and there's nothing this advanced in the original work! Is this really the real world?!
With the clothes gone, the remaining two items caught their eye. They turned their gaze to the silver card and the beads, their eyes gleaming with golden light.
"Like the gravity suits, the cards are also divided into different levels, but their only function is to represent identity, which can be very useful in certain situations."
"The final item, the Weapon Orb, can transform into any weapon you desire. Its hardness is comparable to a Fine Grade Sword. Only the Supreme Grade Swords No. 12 and the Great Grade Swords No. 21 surpass it. However, even our Navy doesn't have many truly good ones."
Weapons? They can change freely, so they do have some value. Does that mean the least valuable thing is that card that represents identity?
That's not entirely true. The card represents identity, which is equivalent to status and power. For some people, it might even be the most important of the three.
The navy is really rich and powerful, equipping a rear admiral with such good equipment. Each set would cost hundreds of millions!
What Yi Shuihan didn't know was that this equipment wasn't provided to every rear admiral; only the top-ranking rear admirals in the Navy Headquarters could obtain it.
The fact that he received it as soon as he arrived shows how highly the navy values him.
"I hope you won't disgrace them. If you upgrade them, you'll have to return them, but I think that won't be a short time," Locke instructed. At the same time, he became curious about Yi Shuihan and planned to find out more about her later.
After that, his surprise when he heard that Yi Shuihan was the one who killed the Pirate King Roger and was then specially recruited into the Navy goes without saying.
Having obtained the A-grade equipment, I immediately changed into the gravity suit and tried it on at 2x gravity. It was very easy, but I only started to feel strained when I increased it to 5x. Even walking became a bit difficult. In the end, I had to adjust it to 4x before I felt about the same as an ordinary person before I started training.
After receiving their equipment, Yi Shuihan and Tina embarked on their journey back, quickly returning to the training ground. The round trip took nearly an hour, making one marvel at how vast the Navy Headquarters truly was!
"Hey! Did you see that? That kid from before came back with Tina."
"His clothes are silver! A-grade gravity suit?"
"So what? He fought so hard against Teacher Zephyr before, it's not surprising that he's ranked A."
Upon arriving before Zefa, Zefa told Tina to return to her training and then handed Yi Shuihan a piece of A4-sized paper.
"Oh, the daily training schedule? It's ready so quickly?" Yi Shuihan took his training arrangements very seriously and quickly looked at it.
Starting at 6 a.m., I jog for half an hour (under extreme gravity).
Lunch is from 6:30 to 7:00, at your own pace.
Various combat techniques will be explained from 7 to 8 o'clock;
Physical fitness enhancement practice from 8 AM to 12 PM;
Lunch and a nap are from 12:00 to 14:00.
14 PM to 15 PM: Learning essential naval knowledge;
Special combat skills training from 15 PM to 19 PM.
It's really simple and straightforward, but all we can see from this is that the training time is very regular. We still can't tell exactly how the training is done. We'll only know after experiencing it once.
"Speaking of which, why does this feel like going to school? Except we're learning how to fight," Yi Shuihan muttered to himself.
"Starting today?" Yi Shuihan asked.
Zephyr shook his head. "Let's start tomorrow. Today, you can familiarize yourself with the gravity suit first, and then we'll make all the arrangements."
Zephyr was, after all, an admiral, and couldn't spend all his time teaching and training the navy, so he only stayed for a short while before leaving, leaving Yi Shuihan all alone there.
With nothing to do, Yi Shuihan could only turn the gravity up to 5 times and then do some simple physical exercise, starting with running.
Under five times the force of gravity, he struggled to run and was out of breath after only a few minutes.
Where there are people, there is competition. Although Yi Shuihan had already demonstrated his strength at the beginning, there were always those who didn't believe in his abilities. Moreover, seeing how hard Yi Shuihan worked just by running, they naturally had doubts.
And so, the three nameless extras arrived near Yi Shuihan.
"Hey! New guy, state your name, then come and greet our boss."
Yi Shuihan naturally ignored them, too lazy to bother with the minor characters whose names he couldn't even remember.
If they had just given up, the matter would have been over. However, Yi Shuihan's actions clearly embarrassed them, and in a fit of anger, they made an unwise decision.
Because the three of them weren't wearing gravity suits, they were faster than Yi Shuihan. They quickly ran in front of Yi Shuihan and formed a human wall.
The commotion naturally attracted the attention of others, but no one stepped forward to stop it. The others wanted to watch the show, while Tina felt that this little matter shouldn't be difficult for Yi Shuihan, so she also planned to watch the excitement from the sidelines.
Yi Shuihan quickly approached the wall of three extras. Just when everyone thought he would stop and a conflict would break out,
"Why aren't you stopping! We're going to crash!"
"Hey, stop, stop!"
"Crashed into it!"
"Ah!" Yi Shuihan's speed was unexpectedly undiminished, and even a bit faster. Under the astonished gazes of the crowd, they collided violently. As for the result, the three extras were sent flying as if they had no weight, crashing to the ground, while Yi Shuihan continued jogging slowly.
"Oh, was there something ahead just now? Was it just my imagination?" Yi Shuihan's voice came from a distance. Although his voice was soft, everyone could hear it.
The three extras were so angry upon hearing this that they fainted; they felt completely ignored.
Chapter 22, Growth
"What terrifying strength! He sent them flying so easily. Although their strength is indeed not that great, it would still require at least the explosive power of a lieutenant colonel to send them flying. Can he still unleash such power under these circumstances?" Many people secretly estimated Yi Shuihan's strength, but no one else came out to cause him any trouble.
The collision just now seemed simple, but it contained profound implications. In that instant, Yi Shuihan had already freed his body from its restraints and unleashed most of his power, but without using any skills. This was already most of his strength without using any skills.
Furthermore, the three people were not fully prepared for defense, so it was only through deliberate intent that they were knocked away.
Although they are just three extras, those who can train here all have a certain foundation. Their strength is actually at the major level, and they are majors in the headquarters. They are equivalent to pirates with a bounty of around 10 million outside.
To be more precise, all three of them have a strength attribute of around 5 points, which is not much different from Yi Shuihan's.
This shows that Yi Shuihan's basic qualities were really not that great. At most, he was only hovering around the school level. It was only after cultivating a few basic skills of the Black Iron level to the point of mastery or perfection that he had strength close to the major general level. Finally, the Extraordinary Flash allowed him to directly enter the category of lieutenant general. With the double burst of violent energy and background music, he finally reached the level of general.
There's no doubt that skills enhance strength, especially powerful ones. If Yi Shuihan were to have a stroke of luck and draw a silver-level skill, he might immediately become the strongest in the pirate world.
The first day of training passed just like that. On that day, Yi Shuihan's strength increased by 01 and his speed increased by 02. This improvement was undoubtedly very obvious. The gravity suit had a significant effect, making Yi Shuihan look forward to the training ahead.
"Today I will explain the training of the Six Styles, which refer to Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick, Shave, Paper Drawing, Moon Walk, and Iron Body."
"Finger gun: A technique said to possess the power of a bullet fired from a gun. It concentrates all the body's strength into the index finger, releasing a lightning-fast strike from the hardened fingertip. The fingertip has the striking power of a bullet, easily piercing the human body."
"Storm Kick: An attacking foot technique that uses the vacuum created by an ultra-high-speed kick to deliver a slashing blow."
"Shave: A technique that involves stomping on the ground more than ten times in a single instant (036 seconds) to generate explosive speed using the reaction force."
"Paper drawing: By releasing all physical strength and utilizing the airflow changes generated by the opponent's movements, one can narrowly dodge attacks aimed at oneself—an extremely powerful defensive technique."
"Moonwalk: A technique used in martial arts, involving a kick during a jump, altering the trajectory before landing. This aerial movement allows for attacks from the air without leaving any blind spots."
"Iron Block: A special defensive technique that works by accelerating blood flow and speeding up muscle movement, thereby significantly increasing the body's hardness."
"Today I'll tell you about their cultivation methods. You can try cultivating one of them first. The cultivation method for the iron block is..."
After an hour, he had only finished explaining the methods of cultivating the Iron Block and the Shave technique, but even so, Yi Shuihan was already satisfied.
Zefa hadn't expected Yi Shuihan to master the six forms quickly. In his view, even if Yi Shuihan was a prodigy, it would take at least a week to learn any one of the six forms, and several months to reach a minor level of mastery.
The power of the Six Styles is undeniable. If any one of them can be mastered to perfection, one will at least reach the level of a general. Mastering three styles to perfection will definitely make one a mid-general. If all of them are mastered to perfection, one will not be weak even among generals.
It's hard to imagine that Yi Shuihan could achieve such powerful skills in such a short time, but who can blame him when he's the protagonist? Especially since the power of the system is completely unimaginable; as long as there are cultivation points, miracles can happen at any time.
It did take Yi Shuihan almost a week to successfully cultivate the Iron Block technique, and he was barely at the entry level, which already surprised Zefa greatly.
With the introduction of the Iron Block technique and a week of training, his strength increased by 1 point, reaching 74.
In addition to practicing the Iron Block technique every day, Yi Shuihan also began to try practicing the other six styles, leading a very fulfilling life.
In the blink of an eye, half a year has passed, and the mid-year exam is here, a time to test everyone's progress.
At this time, Yi Shuihan had mastered the Iron Block technique of the Six Styles, and the others were only at the beginner level. It didn't seem like much, but if he were to speak out, it would be enough to shock the entire navy. This speed of cultivation was already the fastest in the history of the navy.
Even without the system, Yi Shuihan's talent gave him a real chance to become the strongest in the world, which made him very happy.
This is normal, though. Yi Shuihan's body has been modified. The Myriad Realms Company deals with countless worlds. While his talent is strong in the One Piece world, it might not be impressive in some other worlds.
Compared to those powerful beings who are born as gods or immortals, his talent is only good enough to be awesome in worlds like One Piece.
"An assessment? How boring." Yi Shuihan didn't react much when he first heard about the assessment; in fact, he was rather uninterested. His strength no longer needed to be demonstrated through an assessment.
Of course, one thing changed his opinion: the person who got first place in the assessment would have a chance to get a Devil Fruit. This news started circulating at some point.
"A Devil Fruit, a system upgrade energy source! It seems like first place in the assessment is definitely mine." Yi Shuihan immediately considered the Devil Fruit as his own.
And now Yi Shuihan's attributes are

Chapter 23, 3200 Dao Power, is that very high?
"This assessment is divided into three parts. The first part is the test of Dao power, the second part is the test of endurance. The ranking will be based on the scores of the first two parts. Then, those who are not satisfied with their ranking can challenge those ranked ahead of them in the third stage. However, each person can only challenge twice."
"To ensure fairness, challenged individuals can choose to rest for half an hour when challenged consecutively, and each person can be challenged a maximum of 3 times."
In the training ground, an examiner calmly explained the rules of the assessment, but only Yi Shuihan listened attentively. The others, having experienced it more than once, looked indifferent, having already known how it was done.
Seeing Yi Shuihan with them now, many people looked on with a strange expression.
Over the past six months, they have become quite familiar with Yi Shuihan and have witnessed his progress. They have long regarded him as a genius of monstrous talent. However, although they have some guesses, they cannot be sure of the true extent of Yi Shuihan's strength. Now that they finally have the opportunity to see it for themselves, they are very much looking forward to it.
"He must be number one, right?"
"That's hard to say. Smoker is a Logia-type. Without a counter to his elemental transformation, there's no way to deal with him. Although he's powerful, it's not certain that you can win."
"That's true."
They whispered amongst themselves, but Yi Shuihan, the person involved, made no comment, while Smoker had a hint of amusement in his eyes.
No matter how strong they are, they still can't do anything to me when I transform into my elemental form.
"Tina is very curious, is there really no way to transform into elements?" Tina's relationship with Yi Shuihan has become much closer in the past six months, or rather, she is the only one Yi Shuihan can really talk to here.
"Well, you'll find out in a bit," Yi Shuihan said with a smile.
Tina looked like she knew he would say that, and muttered, "Fine, don't tell me then, stop acting all mysterious."
