33. Learning Rokushiki 

Early morning, recruit camp campus.

Rows of Marine recruits are rushing forward around the edge of the school field, but there seems to be no expression on their numb faces.

The training is not jogging for a period of time like exercise but running forward with all the strength of the whole body. Many people who have run 400 meters or 800 meters have experienced this. This method can squeeze out a person's potential and physical ability very well.

The leader is undoubtedly Atlas. He has already surpassed others by too many laps, and he is still carrying a load, so the look in Atlas's eyes has dimmed a little. The reason is thinking back to the punch he had with Zephyr last night; he now had the illusion of a dull pain in his abdomen.

...

Tekkai Gorira!

Just when Zephyr's fist was about to touch Atlas's lower abdomen, Atlas reacted and tried to defend the punch with his Tekkai. Even if it didn't work, he would try to reduce the damage.

Boom!

A violent force entered Atlas's abdomen with strange penetrating power. Atlas suddenly felt like an overflowing river was surging in his body, almost knocking out his overnight meal!

"Fortunately, the defense was broken! I don't know what this kid grew up on. His muscle density is like a monster. Fortunately, I used Ryou(Emission) a little bit. Otherwise, where would I put my face?"

Fortunately, Atlas didn't know that Zephyr actually used Ryou Haki on him; otherwise, he really didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

...

"Okay, there are still the last ten minutes of the twenty-minute run. Look at Atlas. Compared to you, he has a heavy load on him. What reason do you have for not persisting!" Shuzo stood on the school field in the center, scolding expressionlessly. "You must remember the feeling at this moment. A real strong person is not only strong in strength but also strong in will. It doesn't matter if you don't understand it now; you will understand it later."

"So what you have to do now is just to persist, to break through your own limits, to defeat yourself!"

This kind of physical training is actually mainly to exercise a person's will. Of course, it is also very helpful for the growth of physical fitness, so it has nothing to do with strength; it just depends on whether a person's belief and willpower are strong.

Soon, five minutes passed...

Boom!!

At the end of the line, a man fell to the ground without warning, breathing in the fresh air greedily. His heavy breathing sounded like the bellows of a blacksmith shop, and his whole body fell to the ground weakly like a puddle of mud.

Soon, a few more people who couldn't hold on chose to give up. Just like the domino effect, a large number of people fell in an instant.

Shuzo, who was watching all this, did not stop him but chose to watch indifferently.

Atlas, the leader, still continued to run towards the set goal like a machine. Apart from slightly heavy breathing, there was no change at all, and even his steps were so precise.

Monster!

A word emerged in everyone's mind unconsciously.

Atlas trotted up to Shuzo and asked, "Report to Instructor, is there a heavier load? It's too light!"

The adjutant on the side said helplessly: "No, you are already carrying the biggest burden in the recruit camp."

Shuzo was speechless for a while, and then said to Atlas: "This kind of ordinary training is meaningless to you. You and those with a power value of more than 500 will come to me later."

At this time, the special physical training time has passed, and everyone is lying on the ground without any image, even the girl Hina is no exception.

Shuzo glanced briefly. Although Atlas was the only one standing there, there were still about a hundred people who persisted.

Shuzo couldn't help but secretly nodded and became more concerned about these hundreds of people. Some of them might only have one or two hundred power level, but their performance in terms of will was undoubtedly outstanding.

"Now for the next training, Lieutenant, please supervise them. Those who have a power level of more than 500 before will come out! Come with me!"

Shuzo told the adjutant next to him and walked out of the school grounds.

There seemed to be about eight people out, including Atlas. Among them, Atlas knew only four people, and the rest didn't have much impression.

"I've called you out to prepare you for the next stage of special training. Your physiques have basically exceeded the limits of the human body, and now I'm going to teach you a physical technique that goes beyond the limits of the human body - Marine Rokushiki (Six Powers)!"

"Of course, even if your physical fitness has reached the standard, I still want to warn you, be careful not to bite off more than you can chew. If you feel that your talent is not good enough, you can selectively practice a few of these powers." Shuzo warned with a serious expression.

But everyone present is not a genius. They all stand out from their respective bases and are naturally arrogant. Shuzo has already foreseen that there must be someone who wants to collect all Rokushiki .

"By the way, except Atlas, you have to learn all Rokushiki."

"Also, you are considered the elite class of the recruitment camp, but there will be an assessment at the end of the year, and you will be challenged by the ordinary class. The winner will go up, and the loser will go down. As long as you have a big fist here, you can enjoy more resources!"

Shuzo's words were very provocative. The recruits present were not fools and they naturally knew what to do.

"Okay, now let me explain Marine Rokushiki  to you!"

"I believe that everyone has been exposed to the Rokushiki at one time or another. I will explain the principles to you first, and then I will give you a deeper understanding of the Rokushiki through actual combat. It will be up to you to make your own decisions later."

"Soru (Shave) means stepping on the ground dozens of times in a row to generate high explosive force to propel the body's movement."

"Rankyaku (Tempest Kick) is a kicking technique that rolls up a 'vacuum' attack, and then causes a slash like a swordsman...", people then turned their attention to Atlas, and he was the only iron swordsman present.

"As for Geppo (Moonwalk), it allows you to achieve the effect of staying in the air for a short time. It consumes a lot of physical strength. The difficulty of learning can be said to be the most difficult of the six poses."

"Shigan (Finger Pistol) gathers all the power of the whole body on the index finger, which can cause gunshots. The effect can penetrate steel easily."

"Kami-e (Paper Arts) is..."

After Shuzo finished speaking, he looked in the direction of Atlas, which immediately gave Atlas an ominous premonition.

"Atlas, come up and spar with me, so that everyone can have a more intuitive feel for the Rokushiki ."

Sure enough, as soon as Shuzo spoke to Atlas, he felt that he was going to suffer again. Smoker and Rosinante on the side also looked at Atlas with gloating eyes.
