The test of power was mentioned in the original work. CP9 member Otonashi Owl once used the special technique of the Six Powers, the Six Powers Yugi Tsugai, to determine it.
However, this time it was clearly not done that way, but rather with something similar to a punching power tester.
"This is Dr. Punk's newly developed Dao Force testing device, which can withstand up to 10000 Dao Force. Use your strongest attacks! Don't worry about it breaking down," the examiner said.
Broken? Absolutely impossible. Even a general's attack can't reach the limit. These little guys would be lucky to reach 2000 at most.
I really don't understand why they had to bring out the highest level testing equipment. Wouldn't a level 5000 be enough?
The examiner recalled Zephyr's previous instructions and felt that the other party was doing something unnecessary. However, Zephyr's status was far beyond his reach, so he had no choice but to do as he was told.
"Alright, now those whose names are called, come and take the test."
Kato Mito
A somewhat handsome young man walked up to the testing device, took a deep breath, threw a punch, and the numbers on the device began to change, eventually stopping and displaying 700.
"Not bad, that's 100 points higher than last time. It seems you haven't been slacking off these past six months. Keep up the good work," Zefa praised from the examiner's side.
"Hi"
"Next up, Kazumi Hirano"
"Tao Power 600"
"Naka Ezaki, power level 800"
""
One by one, they stepped forward for the test, proceeding in an orderly manner. After each test, Zefa would give a brief review. Soon, only three people remained to be tested: Tina, Smoker, and Yi Shuihan.
"It's finally Tina's turn. Tina is going to give you a big surprise this time." Tina made a cheering gesture and walked up to the testing device.
"Ha!" A punch was thrown out, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind.
The machine vibrated violently with a "bang," and the numbers on it rapidly increased.
"Wow, that's fast! It's already broken 1,000, and it's still growing: 1100, 1200, 1300..." When the numbers finally stopped, gasps of surprise filled the air.
"It's actually 2479 Dao power. The strongest one before was only 1500 Dao power. No wonder Tina is the strongest besides Smoker."
"Not bad." Zephyr nodded with a smile, satisfied with Tina's performance.
Tina quickly returned to Yi Shuihan's side, making a haughty expression, as if to say, "I'm amazing! Come and praise me!"
Yi Shuihan, of course, didn't mind saying a few nice words: "Impressive, impressive, you will be the first female general in the future."
"I believe I could reach the rank of lieutenant general, but as for general, that kind of monster... Anyway, thank you." Tina was quite self-aware.
As they were talking, Smoker, who had followed Tina, entered the arena. His appearance caused a real stir, since Smoker had been the undisputed strongest before Yi Shuihan arrived, even stronger than Tina. Everyone was also looking forward to seeing his strength.
Before it began, Smoker gave Yi Shuihan a provocative look, and then, amidst gasps of surprise, his arm turned into white smoke.
"It's here, Smoker's Logia-type ability."
"White Fist." Like a rocket launcher, the fist hurtled towards the tester.
The fist struck the testing device with a loud boom, and the numbers on it changed at an even faster rate than Tina had before.
It started to slow down at 10002000, then 3200, and finally stopped at the terrifying number of 3000.
What does 3200 Doki mean? You have to know that an ordinary Marine soldier's strength is only 10 Doki, and anything over 500 is superhuman. In the original work, the strongest member of CP9, Lucci, only had 4000 Doki, and at that time his strength was equivalent to a vice admiral. It can be said that with just this one attack, Smoker's strength reached the admiral level, which is not much different from Yi Shuihan's rank of rear admiral.
In addition to its natural elemental properties, it is believed by others that it can compete with Yi Shuihan, and may even have a higher chance of winning.
"That's amazing! No wonder it's Smoker."
"Smoker is the strongest!"
"A future general!"
"3200 Dao power, is that strong?" Just as Smoker was comfortably accepting the compliments around him, an incongruous voice rang out, and Yi Shuihan had already walked up to the testing device.
Yi Shuihan didn't seem to have made any preparations; he just casually tapped the button, and the numbers on the Dao power tester started flashing wildly. When it stopped, everyone had a look of disbelief.
The number 6400 was so glaringly obvious, exceeding Smoker's 3200 by exactly double, but this was clearly not Yi Shuihan's true strength. His relaxed demeanor indicated that he still had plenty of energy left.
Chapter 24, Destroying the Tester
"Impossible, the tester must be broken. Yes, that must be it. How could such a weak attack produce such a score?" Smoker couldn't believe it, because if this was true, the gap between him and Yi Shuihan was simply too great.
Indeed, Yi Shuihan's performance this time was somewhat exaggerated, even the examiners were confused and hesitated to announce the validity of Yi Shuihan's score.
Aside from Yi Shuihan himself, probably only Zefatina believed he had the ability.
"Did it break?" Yi Shuihan remained silent, but inwardly he sneered. Don't be fooled by his previous relaxed movements; there was something profound behind them.
On the surface, it was just a casual flick of the finger, but it actually used an iron block and a finger gun. Two of the six styles seemed like a breakthrough, simply because the control of power had reached its peak and was no longer limited to the surface.
Of course, it is indeed a bit high to unleash 6400 power with just an iron block and a finger gun. However, Yi Shuihan's finger gun is not an ordinary finger gun. It is a technique that he recently developed and applied. With the addition of the iron block, he has managed to elevate the power of his beginner-level finger gun to perfection.
As for the fact that other skills cannot be used when using iron blocks, this is not in line with common sense. So for Yi Shuihan, isn't it normal to break the rules?
Yi Shuihan remained silent, disdaining to explain, because he knew Zefa could see the truth.
Smoker misunderstood, thinking that Yi Shuihan was guilty. "Speechless now? It seems you also know that the machine is broken. I knew it was impossible to get such a high score."
"So the machine was broken! It really gave me a fright."
"Yes! 6400 Dao power, many lieutenant generals don't even have that much power, right?"
"That is to say, he is only a major general. Although he is strong, he is not that powerful."
murmurs arose, and the gazes directed at Yi Shuihan became somewhat strange.
"Tina is very angry. Brother's score is clearly correct. The machine isn't broken! Brother Han, please test it again so they can see how amazing you are." Tina frowned, but she became even more adorable.
Yi Shuihan glanced at Zefa, who hadn't come out to clear his name, and cursed the old fox inwardly.
Since you're so eager to see it, I'll let you see as much as you want.
Before the testing device, Yi Shuihan did not use the finger gun this time, but instead transformed his fingers into a fist and threw a punch.
"3000 Dao Power"
"That's more like it! I told you the machine was broken. This is his true level." The new score restored Smoker's confidence; he scored 3200.
"Boom!" Smoker was clearly too happy too soon. Yi Shuihan did not stop testing, but continued to throw punches, this time with significantly more force than before.
"3230 Dao Power"
"Uh..." Smoker was speechless, but that wasn't the end of it.
A series of booming sounds continued as Yi Shuihan threw five punches in a row, his score getting higher and higher: 36034234469052006000.
Although it was slightly lower than the initial 6400, no one said anything this time. From the momentum of Yi Shuihan's punch, it was clear that he used more power than Smoker.
"Is that enough? If not," Yi Shuihan's voice rang out, and under everyone's shocked gaze, he threw one last punch.
"Boom!" This time, Yi Shuihan used all his strength, combining instantaneous flash with explosive power.
The tester was blasted to smithereens, and a massive crack hundreds of meters long could be seen spreading behind it.
The punch was terrifying; the commotion was so great that the entire Navy Headquarters could feel it.
"That's...the direction of the training ground. What happened?"
"Is it Zephyr? Or... no, I have to go check!"
Garp, Sengoku, Kizaru, and other powerful figures from the headquarters began heading towards the training grounds.
At the scene,
This time, Smoker was speechless. He stared blankly at Yi Shuihan. If you looked closely, you could see that his eyes were unfocused; he was terrified.
Of course, the others weren't much better off. Even Tina, who had always known that Yi Shuihan was very strong, was dumbfounded.
"Is this kid getting revenge? But this strength..." Zephyr was also amused by Yi Shuihan's sudden outburst. He wasn't angry about the damage Yi Shuihan caused, but rather delighted that the Navy had such a strong person as Yi Shuihan.
"Zeff, what's going on?" Kizaru was the first to realize what was happening; in terms of speed, no one in the Navy could match him.
Zephyr glanced at Yi Shuihan, and Kizaru instantly understood. After understanding, he was also shocked.
Kizaru's strength has reached the level of an Admiral, so he can naturally see that an attack capable of causing such destructive power must be at the Admiral level.
Is Yi Shuihan at the level of an Admiral? Even though he had suspected it from the beginning in Loguetown, he hadn't actually seen it before. Now that it's been confirmed, even Kizaru couldn't believe it for a moment.
That's an admiral, the navy's top combat power!
He knew Yi Shuihan's real age. Compared to Yi Shuihan, Huang Yuan felt that all his years of cultivation had been for nothing.
Afterwards, Zhan Guo and the others arrived at the scene and learned the cause and effect. They were all shocked and did not care at all about the damage caused by Yi Shuihan.
"Good lad, I'm impressed! You're qualified to challenge my donut record now," Garp said absentmindedly.
"Good, good, good! You really didn't disappoint me." Zhan Guo said "good" three times in a row, which showed his satisfaction with Yi Shuihan. At this moment, he felt that his decisive decision to recruit Yi Shuihan into the navy was the best thing he had ever done in his life.
"Should we continue with the assessment?" Yi Shuihan asked.
Everyone else was speechless after hearing Yi Shuihan's words. With your strength, participating in this kind of assessment is just bullying children, isn't it? Didn't you see that the other trainees still haven't recovered from their shock?
"How about this, you don't participate, let them continue," Zefa said after thinking for a moment.
"What about the reward for first place?" Yi Shuihan's meaning was quite clear.
"Here you go! It's just a Devil Fruit!" Zephyr was very generous. This time, the reward wasn't a Logia-type Devil Fruit; the Navy could easily provide a regular one.
With the Devil Fruit in hand, Yi Shuihan had nothing more to say, since his goal was the Devil Fruit anyway.
Chapter 25, Skill Fusion
The assessment, which was supposed to be a good one, became rather dull because of Yi Shuihan. After all, the gap between them was just too big. It was like everyone else was there to take the entrance exam for junior high school, but you, a postdoctoral fellow, were also there to take the exam.
When Yi Shuihan obtained his own Devil Fruit, his reputation spread throughout the headquarters. A major general with the strength of an admiral was someone no one could ignore.
"I hope you don't use this Devil Fruit. It's not that it's bad, but you'll have many more options in the future, and you might find something more suitable for you."
"I understand, I will think about it carefully."
Recalling Zephyr's explanation to him, Yi Shuihan felt a little warmer. The Devil Fruit he obtained was just an ordinary Zoan-type fruit, and even the animal was a common species unique to this world.
While there is no such thing as the worst Devil Fruit or the strongest Devil Fruit user, different starting points naturally lead to different ultimate achievements.
If it were the same person using a regular Zoan-type Devil Fruit and a Logia-type Devil Fruit, while the former might not necessarily prevent them from reaching the peak, choosing the latter would make the path much smoother, and the chance of becoming a top powerhouse would be several times greater than with the former. The former is only a possibility, while the latter is very likely.
Of course, none of this mattered to Yi Shuihan. He had no intention of using Devil Fruits unless they were free of side effects, otherwise they would only bring him losses.
After absorbing this Devil Fruit, the system's upgrade energy increased by another 10%, reaching 20%, and it still needs eight more to upgrade.
Just like last time, the system also gave him some benefits this time, namely 10 fusion points.
"It's not bad, even though it's not cultivation points. Speaking of which, I've only got 20 fusion points so far." Yi Shuihan thought to himself, and suddenly felt an urge to use the fusion points.
"So, how should we use it? 20 points can only fuse two Iron-level skills, and we still don't know whether the skill will be improved or weakened after fusion."
The use of fusion points is different from cultivation points. They are based on the level of the fusion skill: 10 points for black iron, 100 points for bronze, 1000 points for silver, and 10000 points for gold.
For example, two Iron rank pieces are worth 101020 points, three are worth 10330 points, one Iron rank piece and one Bronze rank piece are worth 10100100 points, two Bronze rank pieces and three Silver rank pieces are worth 1002310003200 points, and so on.
Opening the skill fusion panel, Yi Shuihan began to make plans, unsure which two skills to fuse.
"Eh? This is..." Yi Shuihan suddenly noticed the difference. Originally, he only had 20 points, which meant he could only choose two Black Iron skills, and he couldn't choose any others after that. The Six Styles consisted of six Black Iron skills. He had been thinking of waiting until he had 60 fusion points before fusing them, since they belonged to the same lineage, and he was sure that the power would increase greatly after fusing them.
I only have 20 points now, so I didn't think about it. But one time, I accidentally chose two of the six styles and found that I could still choose the other six styles, but not the ones that didn't belong to me.
"The secret passage?" A hint of excitement flashed in Yi Shuihan's eyes, his eyes widened, and then he chose the third of the six styles. He could still choose, the fourth, and so on. The fifth was also acceptable, and the sixth was also an option.
Seeing the prompt asking whether to proceed with the fusion, Yi Shuihan was overwhelmed with excitement, and his body trembled.
"Confirmed integration"
The scene before my eyes began to change, and something representing the six skills of the Six Styles rushed towards the center, eventually turning into nothingness.
Suddenly, a dazzling light appeared, and then a new cyan term representing a bronze skill slowly emerged.
"Success!"
Forcing himself to calm down, Yi Shuihan began to examine the information about the newly appeared skill.
Skill Name: True Six Styles (Minor Success)
Rank: Bronze II
Description: It is a fusion of the original Finger Pistol, Tempest Kick, Shave, Paper Drawing, Moon Walk, and Iron Body. It can combine any of the skills at will according to the level of mastery. Currently, any 3 of them can be used at the same time.
It was incredibly powerful. Although he was prepared, Yi Shuihan was still shocked by the fused skills. Since its creation, the Six Styles could only be used at a certain time, and at most, the switching was just faster.
As for using more than two of the Six Styles at the same time, that was completely impossible before. Even when Yi Shuihan used Iron Block Finger Spear in combination, it was actually due to his other skill, Instant Flash, which is unreplicable.
