Chapter 21: Little Lolita's Determination

"What kind of technique is this? It doesn't seem to be a Devil Fruit ability but rather a skill and technique that utilizes wrist strength. It seems that another promising candidate has appeared in this year's military academy selection!" Momonga , after being surprised, quickly reacted. After sighing in his heart, he took another deep look at Qin Ge, memorizing his appearance. Then he shouted to the naval officers on the warship, "What are you all standing there for? Disperse these sawtooth sharks immediately! If bullets don't work, use cannons to blast a path through!"

The words of the Momonga immediately awakened everyone from their astonishment at Qin Ge's amazing performance. They quickly reacted like well-oiled machines. Some people brought artillery to bombard the sawtooth sharks in the sea, while others took charge of steering and controlling the sails, causing the warship to quickly charge towards a vulnerable spot.

Boom, boom, boom~!

The cannons fired continuously, and water columns several meters high could be seen erupting from the sea, with the remains of dead sawtooth sharks scattered among them.

Seeing that the navy had launched a counterattack, Qin Ge and the others redoubled their efforts in killing the sawtooth sharks. For Qin Ge, these sawtooth sharks were a source of energy. If he wanted to extract souls from the Prison of Souls again, he would need at least a hundred points of energy.

Of course, while Qin Ge was killing the sawtooth sharks, the other candidates on the warship also reacted and fought back against the sharks with determination.

Some displayed exquisite marksmanship, hitting the soft eyes of the sawtooth sharks with almost every bullet, piercing through their brains and killing them.

Others wielded spears, throwing them with powerful arm strength, ruthlessly piercing through the tough bodies of the sawtooth sharks.

In addition, when Robin saw Qin Ge take action, she naturally joined in. With her arms crossed, beautiful petals floated on the sea's surface, and her arms quickly grew out of the backs of the sawtooth sharks. They attacked their eyes, noses, and other weak points or disturbed the movements of the sawtooth sharks, coordinating with Qin Ge's killings.

After more than ten minutes, the naval warship successfully broke free from the encirclement of the sawtooth sharks, leaving behind a sea of churning waves and a large number of sawtooth shark corpses.

"You are all the future elites of our navy. I am very satisfied with your performance in today's battle against the sawtooth sharks. I hope you can continue to excel in the future!" After escaping the crisis, Momonga gathered hundreds of candidates on the deck and expressed his praise and satisfaction.

Although the candidates were a bit out of breath after the intense battle, they couldn't help but feel excited and thrilled when they received the commendation from Rear Admiral Momonga .

"Rear Admiral, you overpraise us. It's what we should do!" a relatively older candidate quickly said respectfully.

The flying squirrel nodded slightly and then scanned the candidates present. His gaze suddenly stopped on Qin Ge, who stood calmly in the crowd.

"Can you tell me your name, candidate?" The Momonga's eyes flashed with a gleam as he naturally didn't forget that Qin Ge was the first candidate to fight back.

Although the other candidates behind him also demonstrated impressive abilities and strength, compared to Qin Ge's card-throwing technique, both in terms of power and sensory impact, it was undoubtedly Qin Ge who stood out the most.

Qin Ge looked somewhat surprised at the flying squirrel pointing toward him, but he quickly stepped forward, maintaining a calm and composed demeanor. He replied, "In response to Rear Admiral, my name is Qin Ge Allen, hailing from the 235th Division!"

"Qin Ge Allen, your performance just now was excellent. Our navy needs fearless and outstanding talents!" praised Momonga.

Qin Ge nodded slightly and also felt the envy and intense hostility from the other candidates. It was evident that the flying squirrel's praise had made these candidates wary, as they already considered him a formidable opponent in the selection process.

However, Qin Ge didn't pay much attention to this. He wasn't in the Navy to seek recognition or admiration from others but to hone his strength.

Although they had encountered the unexpected sawtooth sharks, the journey continued as usual. Meanwhile, Qin Ge sought out Robin.

"Robin, you also experienced the battle with the sawtooth sharks today. Although your Devil Fruit power is incredible, your offensive capabilities are still lacking. From today onwards, come and train with me. Your strength needs to be greatly strengthened!" Qin Ge explained the reason to Robin, who looked curious.

"What? Train? That's not necessary, Allen. I'm not as powerful as you. I think things are fine the way they are!" Hearing Qin Ge's words, the little girl's face turned pale, and she replied with a bitter expression.

If it came to reading books, Robin could persist for three days and three nights without taking a break. But when it came to physical training, as an eight-year-old girl, it was something she couldn't accept.

"No, you must train!" Qin Ge firmly rejected her and said seriously, "Other things can be negotiated, but this matter of training, Robin, you must accept it. Have you forgotten what happened to Dr. Clover and the others? Only by possessing strong power can you ensure your safety and the safety of your loved ones. Do you want to wait until the day when you are held hostage and threatened with my life because of your weakness?"

Robin's face stiffened. She naturally didn't want to experience the tragedy of her homeland again, nor did she want to burden Qin Ge, who was now her only trusted companion and could be compared to a family member.

"I understand. I will train hard, Allen. Please make me stronger using the most rigorous methods!" Stimulated by Qin Ge's words, Robin gradually gained determination, and a resolute expression appeared on her little face.

Qin Ge nodded with satisfaction. If Robin could become stronger, he would also feel more at ease. Even if he wasn't by her side anymore, she would have enough strength to ensure her safety.

The warship had training rooms specifically provided for soldiers to exercise, and the facilities were quite comprehensive. In the past few days, Qin Ge had spent a lot of time there for his training.

Although the Dragon Elephant Prajna Art was different from the cultivation methods of this world, it couldn't be discerned just by appearance. It required the corresponding mental techniques and methods of channeling qi to practice. Therefore, Qin Ge wasn't worried about anyone noticing anything unusual during his cultivation process.
