Chapter 71: Iron-Cutting Realm

Battle center.

The black shadow soldiers kept breaking, then recovering, breaking, and recovering...

The surrounding navy couldn't help but stare at the stalemate in front of them.

One has amazing defense and recovery, and the other seems to be immortal.

Who is stronger between the two?

And the situation soon changed.

Because Verohe is obviously not a calm person.

After facing these strange soldiers who have been eliminated more than a dozen times but still cannot be defeated, Verohe began to feel irritated and furious.

Verohe shouted loudly, and the sound spread throughout the area and echoed endlessly.

Then.

Verohe's dark figure, which was like steel, changed, and the black horns on his head began to become thicker and sharper.

But Verohe's three-meter-tall body gradually shrank, and his muscular arms became shaped like sheep's hooves.

The black hair on his body also began to become thicker, covering his whole body.

Finally, Veroch turned into a two-meter-tall, majestic black goat.

This is the beast form of his devil fruit ability!

The ancient black goat is not the ordinary black goat we are talking about now.

It is an extremely powerful creature with great strength and amazing speed. It has devil-like abilities among herbivores.

Swish!

In an instant!

The black goat transformed by Veroch disappeared on the spot, and only a residual image could be seen halfway.

Coles's expression changed.

A black shadow shield appeared in front of him.

At this time, the black goat transformed by Veroch had already rushed over.

Bang!

The shadow shield shattered.

A strong impact force came from the head of the black goat,

and Coles' figure was directly knocked away.

Sizzle!

His footsteps slid nearly twenty meters on the ground before he could barely release the remaining force.

Huh!

Coles began to breathe violently.

Although he deployed the Shadow Shield defense in time, facing the fast and powerful impact of Veroch, his body still suffered some damage.

Swish!

The ancient black goat transformed by Veroch rushed again.

Coles quickly used the shave to disappear on the spot, but the black goat was also very fast and directly changed the direction of attack.

Then,

Coles' landing place was intercepted.

Bang!

This time,

Coles did not have time to deploy defense, and was hit by a huge force and flew backwards.

Instantly.

Coles felt the blood in his body surging, and the five internal organs in his chest seemed to be displaced.

This feeling of being knocked away by a ferocious beast made him feel powerless to resist.

With a wave of his arm,

the black knight's spear with a sharp top and a round bottom appeared, colliding with the black goat that rushed again.

The impact force continued to collide.

Then, the black goat was repelled, but it did not cause any damage.

The beast form of Veroch's devil fruit black goat has reached the standard of shaving!

Moreover, while having speed, the steel-like defense has not decreased, and it is difficult for the shadow soldiers to effectively block it.

The battle is already unsolvable.

This is what the onlookers in the navy thought, and they all thought that Coles would lose.

However, even if Coles did not win, they would not show much contempt.

After all, Coles was facing the powerful devil fruit ability of the ancient animal species, and being able to fight Veroch to this extent has proved his own strength.

But why has Coles not shown a look of dejection on his face until now?

Everyone was a little puzzled.

Could Coles still have a way to defeat Veroch's powerful black goat beast form?

Battle center.

Coles looked at Veroch in front of him and couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Veroch is worthy of coming from the New World, and his strength is indeed good.

The devil fruit ability of the ancient animal species black goat makes Veroch fearless of harm.

If he hadn't left [Lanros] in Rogue Town, he might have been able to easily deal with the other party, but now, the power of the Shadow Fruit basically can't break Verroch's defense.

However, he won't lose this battle.

Because Coles has never relied on the Shadow Fruit to become stronger.

Until now.

He hasn't even drawn his sword.

It's not that Coles can't draw his sword, he's just waiting for a suitable time to draw his sword.

Since the end of the recruit period.

Coles has already entered the level of precise swordsmanship, and then in the competition with [Lanros] and [Shadow Knight], he has continued to stabilize and improve.

Now, there is only one bottleneck in front of him.

That is cutting iron!

After fighting with William on the main ship of Klick, Coles deeply knew that his swordsmanship was not enough, and he was not strong enough.

But how can he break through the cutting iron?

Major Kahn did not teach everyone this answer during the recruit period, because the realm of cutting iron was still very far away from everyone at that time.

Coles had no experience in this area, so he could only ask [Lanros] for advice. However, [Lanros] was a great knight from a hundred years ago, and his training was also improved over time, so he didn't quite understand this.

At that time, the only option for Coles was to continue meditating and practicing.

On the way to the Navy Headquarters.

Coles was trying to break through, because he knew that he was definitely not the only genius in the elite training camp. However, his swordsmanship strength still could not overcome that bottleneck for a long time.

Facing the strong headquarters,

He should have felt tremendous pressure.

But when he reunited with Major Kahn at the port, his mood calmed down.

At that moment when his mood went from anxious to suddenly relaxed, he grasped a glimmer of enlightenment.

last night,

After a long period of meditation practice, Coles gradually understood what Zhan Tie was.

In this world, there are swordsmen who can cut through anything, and there are also swordsmen who can cut through anything in order to protect.

Entering the realm of cutting iron,

In addition to having a firm belief, you also need to understand yourself and feel the outside world.

And these, Coles has already done this with the increased sensitivity of the Shadow Fruit.

What he lacks,

Just an opportunity.

An opportunity that requires cutting iron and drawing a sword.

In today's conflict challenge, in addition to standing up for Dusky, Coles also wanted to find opportunities to use his sword in the battle.

And fighting till now.

The time to draw the sword has come!

"Thank you very much."

Coles' eyes became solemn, his body slightly arched, holding the white scabbard with his left hand, and the black handle of the demon knife with his right hand.

"Iai·Knight's Elegy!"

next moment.

Coles' figure disappeared on the spot.

Similarly, the black goat transformed by Veroch also rushed towards him.

Two black shadows passed each other.

Exchange standing positions with each other.

Bah!

The red sword light flashed.

On the dark head of the black goat transformed by Verochna, a hideous wound suddenly appeared, and a large amount of blood spurted out from it.

Draw out the sword and cut through the iron!

Coles stood tall and straight, with extremely calm eyes. He held the handle of the knife with his right hand and slowly put the black and red blade of the demon knife back into the sheath.

Kaka!

The only sound heard at the scene was the clear sound of the knife being retracted.

When the blade of the sword was completely retracted into the scabbard, the ancient black goat transformed by Veroch also fell to the ground and could no longer maintain its animal form.

Transformed into his original body, seriously injured and comatose.

The whole place was silent for a moment!

The sudden end of the battle almost caught everyone off guard.

Veroch had already shown near-invincible power, so why was he suddenly killed instantly?

That kind of sword power?

"It's a powerful sword!"

An officer from the Navy Headquarters who practiced kendo recognized the power Coles had just displayed and explained aloud.

"Veroch's ancient black goat form has a defense as strong as steel, but there are swordsmen in this world who can cut through steel.

Zhantie, that is the name of the realm of a powerful swordsman, and is also called the essence of a powerful sword. "

Then, the naval officer showed envy in his eyes and spoke out.

"With Cole's swordsmanship reaching the level of cutting iron, he will be destined to become a swordsman in the future, because this is the most obvious dividing line between swordsmen.

As long as you cross the line of cutting iron, the road to becoming a swordsman will not be far away. "

I heard the name Jianhao.

Even though most of the people watching the navy are not swordsmen, they can't help but look envious. The combat power of those swordsmen is at least comparable to that of a major general!

Coles is only twenty years old now, and it is really difficult to foresee that his future achievements will reach that point...

Lieutenant General?

Or a general?

Suddenly.

The navy present seemed to have seen a rising naval star.

On top of a building not far away.

A plain-looking naval officer was recording the combat ratings of Coles and Veroch on the report board.

Next to this officer, there was a naval colonel with an upright look on his face.

"Kahn, I heard that he is a recruit you taught before. What do you think of him?"

Kahn considered his words and replied: "Charol Coles has a very high talent for swordsmanship and a very good understanding. He is a very rare genius."

"You were his previous instructor, and you don't have any other comments about him?"

"That's my assessment."

"Are you sure it's gone?"

"No."
