Chapter 8 The Road to Monsters
When the flying squirrel heard Jiaji's words, he couldn't help but smile and said:
"Monster? Maybe..."
"Colonel Darren and I joined the 321st branch at the same time. I clearly remember his first day of training five years ago..."
There was a trace of nostalgia in the flying squirrel's always cold and resolute eyes.
"He was very thin at the time. Running 10 laps on the school field completely exhausted his energy. He had to rest for half an hour before he could catch his breath and stand up again."
"Among the recruits in the same period, his physical fitness is the weakest."
"But he didn't let that stop him."
"I keep training every day and challenge my physical limits almost every day."
"First it was dragging a gun barrel, and then a canoe... It took three years for Colonel Darren to reluctantly drag this abandoned warship one meter."
"Compared to the natural 'monster' like Major General Sakaski, Colonel Darren is a monster on another level."
Hearing this, Gion and Kaki couldn't help but fall into silence.
…
Bangdang...
Darren threw down the thick iron chain and stood in the scorching sun, gasping for air. He felt that his throat and lungs were tearing and painful like bellows.
The muscles all over his body seemed to be on fire, and there was a burning pain.
But he has long been accustomed to this kind of pain.
Darren looked back at the long groove left on the ground after the warship was dragged, and roughly estimated the distance.
One hundred and one meters...
Well, I finally broke my own record.
He sensed his body data again.
Physical fitness: 58.106 (+0.03)
Strength: 53.837 (+0.06)
Speed: 57.539
Fruit: 71.345
Physical fitness increased by 0.03, and strength increased by 0.06.
"The growth of attributes is getting slower and slower. It seems that we need to change to a larger warship."
Darren stared at his "data panel" and muttered to himself.
This is the best use he can discover and explore for his "perception" talent.
Use feedback from various data to determine whether the current training method is effective.
The human body has strong adaptability. The same weight-bearing and external pressure, and similar training methods, may achieve good training effects at the beginning, but as the human body continues to adapt, the effects will gradually weaken and eventually come to a standstill.
This is a scientific explanation.
Before Darren traveled through, he had a general understanding that professional athletes would constantly change their training plans in order to continuously improve their sports performance.
"Progressive overload" is a very basic principle in kinematics.
——It means to continuously increase the "load" of training within the acceptable range of the human body, thereby achieving improvement in sports performance.
However, for Darren, who has the talent of "accurate perception", he can more accurately use the feedback of various data to judge whether his current training is effective.
So even though he experiences "hell-like" torture and "monster-like" practice methods in the eyes of others every day, he is still happy with it.
Because you can get immediate feedback.
Every time you do one more push-up and every more weight-bearing squat, you can clearly see that your "attributes" are improving.
It's almost like a character in the game.
Of course, this world is not a game, but real.
He knows the dangers of the pirate world better than anyone.
So he practiced harder than anyone else.
Because only in this way can he compete with the real "monsters" in this sea!
With the help of his talent, he deeply believed that as long as he put in inhuman efforts, one day he would be able to be like Whitebeard, possessing unparalleled power and easily intercepting a high-speed warship with his bare hands.
"Then let's start physical training."
As his breathing gradually became steady, Darren raised his head and waved to the flying squirrel.
He felt that today's physical load had reached the limit. Continuing to perform strength training forcefully would not only have no effect, but would also cause hidden injuries to the body, strain muscles, and overdraw the body's potential.
"Colonel Darren called me."
On the other side of the school ground, Flying Squirrel said something to Jia Ji and the other two, and immediately took steps.
But he stopped quickly, as if he remembered something, turned back and said with a smile:
"By the way, what's coming next is exciting, don't blink."
Kake and Gion were stunned.
The flying squirrel didn't explain much, just smiled mysteriously.
Although it is not his character to have a bad taste, I don't know why, seeing these two "proud men of heaven" in this department looking like they have never seen the world and being shocked, I always feel inexplicably happy.
"gather!!"
The flying squirrel drank coldly.
In less than twenty seconds, dozens of naval soldiers around the school grounds had quickly gathered in the center of the school grounds.
They seemed to have been prepared a long time ago and divided into two queues.
Keng! !
Accompanied by a crisp buzzing sound, the navy in the front row drew out their sabers.
Uh-huh! !
At the same time, the navy in the rear queue also raised their flintlock guns in unison.
All of them held their breath.
The target whose eyes were locked... turned out to be Darren in the middle of the school field! !
"Hey, hey, hey... are you kidding me..."
Kaji seemed to realize something, his face was full of astonishment, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.
Gion swallowed a mouthful of saliva with a gurgle, and said in a hoarse voice:
"This kind of training method... can really kill people..."
Before they could suppress their inner shock, the flying squirrel over there had already issued an order in a stern tone.
"Attack!!"
As soon as the voice fell,
the front row of marines holding sabers rushed towards their base commander with great momentum.
The sharp and cold sabers... showed no mercy, and slashed Darren's body crazily!
Head, face, neck, chest, back, arms, thighs, throat...
Every part was "taken care of" properly.
Clang clang clang clang! !
However, they seemed to be slashing on steel, and a large number of sparks jumped out of the blade, and then a gap was broken.
After a round of "slashing", the sabers were scrapped one after another, and the front row of marines quickly dispersed.
The navy in the back row, ready to go, immediately pulled the trigger of the flintlock.
Bang, bang, bang! !
The dense rain of bullets enveloped Darren's figure, constantly refracting and rebounding, leaving clear craters on the ground.
After a round of bullets was fired, the navy in the back row immediately drew the sabers at their waists and rushed towards Darren.
At this time, the navy in the front row gathered again at the position of the navy in the back row and began to load bullets into the flintlock.
Back and forth...
Swords,
Gunshots,
From time to time, you can even see the flying squirrel dragging a heavy artillery from the armory next to it, taking advantage of the gap between the two teams of navy rotation, to fire a shot at Darren.
Swords broke, bullets and gunshots rang, and shells exploded, billowing black smoke and flames rose up on the parade ground, raising vast smoke and yellow sand, and it seemed as if a small war was being staged from afar.
Kaji and Gion, who were at the edge of the parade ground, stared at this horrific scene of "self-mutilation" in amazement.
Stunned.
No iron, no dodging, no blocking...
That madman,
was only relying on his own physical defense to resist such a fierce attack!
"Is this... something a human can do?"
Kake and Gion looked at the man who still stood firm in the hail of bullets, and murmured with a pale face.
