It didn’t feel like striking flesh; it felt more like hitting a steel plate.
It wasn’t just Drake; soon, Daddy Masterson and Jonathan also sensed something strange.
“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang…”
Their punches fell like raindrops on banana leaves, crazily landing on Yang Ming’s body.
Despite his small stature, Yang Ming’s body seemed as immovable as if it were made of steel, and he even yawned casually, looking at the three of them enduring their exertion, breathless yet helpless.
“Of course, this was all thanks to the system.”
【Navy’s Six Techniques—Iron Block】: Infuse strength into the well-trained body, giving it the hardness of iron. Ordinary bullets and weapons won’t pierce through. The drawback is that movement is restricted while using the Iron Block.
This was the prize Yang Ming had just obtained.
The system shamelessly split the Navy’s Six Techniques, only allowing him to obtain the ability of the Iron Block.
The system shamelessly divided the Navy’s Six Techniques, only granting him the ability of the Iron Block.
It must be said that to some extent, the system was on par with the penguin in its audacity.
After years of studying the Armament Haki and Observation Haki, the Navy simplified them to create the Navy’s Six Techniques, which were widely used by lower-ranking naval officers.
As a neutered version of the Armament Haki, the Iron Block had various flaws, but currently, it was a defense that the three teenagers couldn’t break through.
Yang Ming could keenly feel that when he activated the Iron Block, his muscles instantly tightened. Additionally, through the resonance of Flame Breathing and Six Coupes, his Iron Block underwent subtle changes, making it three times harder than the usual Iron Block that regular naval personnel employed.
It had to be said that this was a pleasant surprise.
The Iron Block was a technique that originated from within, and only high-ranking naval officers had the chance to come into contact with it.
Typically, mastering the Iron Block required a solid foundation of physical fitness; otherwise, it was easy to fail.
Seeing Drake and the others hammering away without being able to break his defense, and even getting tired and flushed, Yang Ming stretched lazily and said, “My boys, you’re giving your old man a nice massage. Give it to me a bit harder!”
Drake and the others turned red-faced, too angry to even speak.
Seeing Yang Ming’s enjoyable expression, they realized they were like obedient sons giving their father a back rub. How could they not see they were being played by Yang Ming?
And just at that moment, Tina added fuel to the fire:
“Is this what friendship between boys looks like? So sweet!”
The three faces turned black, and they immediately withdrew, slinking away embarrassed.
If they didn’t leave now, did they want to continue being humiliated in front of everyone?
Tina raised her hand to tuck back a strand of hair that had fallen in front of her ear. Her gaze fixed on Yang Ming, feeling that there was a layer of mist enveloping the young boy, making her even more curious about him.
She bent down, the tight fabric of her clothes accentuating her exaggerated curves.
“Yang Ming, I want to apologize to you here sincerely. I didn’t know that Drake was planning something so excessive against you. It’s my fault.”
A pleasant fragrance wafted towards Yang Ming, and then he felt a slight coolness on his forehead.
Tina covered her lips, her ears turning crimson. Blushing, she said, “Consider this a sincere apology, and you better not dislike it. After all… it’s someone’s first kiss!”
Leaving behind this statement, Tina turned and walked away.
Looking at her retreating figure, Yang Ming touched the lingering imprint on his forehead and felt a mix of laughter and tears.
“Do all the girls in this world mature so early?”
One’s perspective follows one’s senses, and Yang Ming couldn’t avoid it either. He found it difficult to be angry at this enthusiastic and lively young beauty.
After the music ended and everyone scattered, only Yang Ming remained in the dormitory. He looked around his new dwelling with a sense of satisfaction.
The four-person dormitory could be divided into two rooms and a living room. Each room had two beds, adorned with soft mattresses and accompanying bedding.
The living room wasn’t big, roughly around 30 square meters, equipped with a sofa and coffee table. Various snacks were spread on the tabletop. The living room led to a balcony where a clothes rack stood, used for drying laundry.
Standing on the balcony, he could see the vast blue sea. The sunset was gradually fading on the horizon.
Sometimes, Yang Ming did miss the days of his previous life with air conditioning, computers, and smartphones. After washing his clothes in the dormitory, he had no choice but to sit on his bed and practice meditation to pass the time.
For most students, after enduring brutal training every day, there were only a few ways to pass the time. One was playing cards, and the other was gossiping.
The spread of gossip among students was swift. The conflict that had occurred in Room 601 was soon widely known among them.
It wasn’t just the students from this year; there were also students from the previous two years in the dormitory building. They needed to achieve a certain level of performance at the naval academy to be allowed to graduate.
Graduating from the naval academy wasn’t that simple. The assessment content varied every year—either hunting large sea kings solo or capturing famous pirates on the Grand Line. If they failed to complete it, they would have to continue studying at the academy.
In the span of one night, all the students in the entire dormitory building quickly learned about the new freshman who wasn’t easy to mess with.
The next day, when Drake arrived at the training ground, all the students looked at him and laughed.
Some shouted, “Drake, how did you lose to Yang Ming again?”
Drake was sulking and pretended not to hear.
Someone deliberately shouted loudly, “Drake, could you tell us what kind of experience it is to be a father to a little kid?”
Drake widened his eyes and angrily retorted, “Why are you so quick to tarnish my reputation!”
His face turned red, veins popping on his forehead, and he continued to ramble on.
“What’s wrong with winning or losing for a moment? Can the navy’s matters be determined by wins and losses?” At this point, everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere inside and outside the training field was filled with a sense of joy.
