At this moment.
Xia Ming appeared in a simple and elegant room.
A purple-haired old man sat opposite him.
It was the former Navy General, the current Chief Instructor of the Elite Battalion, Zefa Blackwrist!
Just now, when Xia Ming left, he was stopped again.
However, he was summoned by Zefa's subordinates.
This was Zefa's office.
"Teacher Zefa, why are you looking for me?”
Xia Ming asked respectfully with a hint of excitement in his tone.
After all, this was the first time he had been invited to Zefa's office in his three years in the camp!
In the original novel, although Zefa's fate was miserable, this did not affect the fact that he was one of the top experts in the old generation!
Therefore, Xia Ming respected him very much and hoped to learn more from him.
It was a pity that Zefa, as the chief instructor, only focused on the overall teaching. The detailed techniques were still taught by other instructors.
"Xia Ming, I saw your battle with Bergude just now.”
Zefa looked at Xia Ming for a while and then said something that made Xia Ming happy.
It was worth mentioning that Zefa would occasionally praise his students.
However, calling a student to the office to praise him had a different meaning.
However, he continued,""If I'm not wrong, the iron block you used just now was not caused by the Devil Fruit's ability, but was modified by your own research, right?”
Hearing this, Xia Ming's expression froze.
Speaking of which, he had expected Zefa to ask about the iron.
After all, even if Zefa didn't ask, the other instructors would probably ask.
After all, the metal he cast could move freely!
As far as Xia Ming knew, the Navy Type 6 Iron Block was still in a state of immobility.
The CP didn't know, but at least in the elite camp, other than Bergoode, no one had ever used a piece of metal that could move without the power of the Devil's Fruit.
In other words, Xia Ming's movable iron block was unique!
Such a piece of iron would naturally arouse the interest of Zefa and the other instructors.
Thinking of this, Xia Ming nodded.""Instructor Zefa, you're right. I'm not an aptitude user. I was the one who modified that Iron Block move.”
Although the original creator of this improved version of the iron block was Jabra, this thing did not have any copyright, so Xia Ming agreed without hesitation.
When Zefa heard this, his calm expression seemed to have eased a lot. He then praised,"It seems that you have put in a lot of effort on the iron block. Even I didn't realize that the iron block could move. I was completely trapped by my previous knowledge and stuck in my old ways. You were able to break the convention and improve it.”
Xia Ming quickly put on a humble expression.
Immediately after, Zefa stood up from his seat and said to Xia Ming,"Logically speaking, this is the result of your own cultivation, and I shouldn't have asked for it. However, I believe that you also understand the significance of the iron block to the navy. I wonder if you can teach me this improved version of the iron block.”
" No problem, Instructor Zefa. Actually, this is what a student should do. After all, you were the one who taught me the iron block. It's not worth mentioning if I repay you a little now.”
Xia Ming agreed without thinking and directly explained the principle of the movable iron block.
"Speed up the blood flow and muscle movement?”
Zefa muttered, his body seemingly stiffened.
Then, he started pacing back and forth in the office, his old eyes gradually shining.
Seeing this, Xia Ming immediately understood that Zefa had started experimenting and succeeded.
However, this was not strange.
Actually, that principle was not easy to say, but it was not difficult to say.
If one's iron block technique was passable, as long as they knew the principle and practiced a little, they would be able to master moving iron blocks very quickly.
As a former navy general, Zefa was also an expert in pure physical skills. Naturally, his research on the six movements was not low, and it was even very profound.
In this way, after he knew the principle, he could naturally use it instantly.
After Zefa finished his experiment, he looked at Xia Ming with a happy expression."Very good. Although this principle is simple, it is still difficult to figure it out. To think that you can figure it out. I am also a person who can distinguish between gratitude and hatred. Your improved iron block is really helpful to the navy. I can make the decision here and agree to one of your requests.”
Xia Ming's eyes lit up and he was overjoyed.
In fact, when Drake had asked him about the iron block, Xia Ming had not only deliberately angered him, but he also felt that there was no need to teach Drake.
This was because he had expected the instructors to ask him for the technique of moving iron blocks. At that time, the instructors would definitely teach him again. In this way, there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
As for whether the instructors would give him some preferential treatment after asking for the iron block technique, that should be the case.
However, he never expected Zefa to personally come and talk to him. Moreover, Zefa gave him preferential treatment and said that he would agree to one of his requests!
With Zefa's status, this request was very important!
Thinking of this, Xia Ming quickly said respectfully,"Teacher Zefa, in that case, please guide me in cultivation for a month! The students wanted to work hard and get good results in the large-scale assessment in a month!”
Zefa was surprised.
In fact, it was indeed the other instructors who wanted to talk to Xia Ming, but because he had started to value Xia Ming, he decided to personally summon him.
Xia Ming's unhesitating act of revealing the improved version of the Iron Block Technique had once again earned Zefa's favor.
Therefore, Zefa, who had only intended to reward Xia Ming a little, made an exception and agreed to one of his requests.
Of course, Zefa knew the weight of his words. In fact, he also wanted to test Xia Ming's current state of mind.
If Xia Ming's request was too excessive, it would prove that Xia Ming was already a little arrogant after having a small achievement.
But now, Zefa did not expect Xia Ming to only ask him to personally guide him for a month.
Although this requirement was not low, it was naturally very low in this situation.
Moreover, Zefa had the intention of grooming Xia Ming.
Zefa suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was even more pleasing to the eye.
Of course, guiding Xia Ming in his cultivation was not a problem. However, it should not change much in a month.
Thinking of this, Zefa asked again,""Actually, you can also request the old me to make an exception and allow you to stay in the elite camp for one more year. This way, you might be able to obtain a better result during the next assessment…"
Xia Ming's heart skipped a beat. Staying for another year?
He was really tempted.
With a 100 times experience increase, if he could really stay in the elite camp for another year, the benefits he would receive could be imagined.
However, compared to Zefa's personal guidance, it didn't seem worth it.
Because in Xia Ming's opinion, being able to have Zefa personally guide him for a month was definitely better than staying in the elite camp for a year!
Thinking of this, Xia Ming immediately made a decision."Teacher Zefa, I've decided to ask you to guide me in my cultivation.”
"Besides, I've already been in the elite camp for three years. If I can't suppress the others in the assessment this time, there's no point in staying!”
Zefa's eyes lit up.
Vaguely, he could actually see that Xia Ming had quite a domineering aptitude!
Zefa smiled when he came back to his senses.
He realized that he did not only value Xia Ming anymore, but he also favored him now.
"Perhaps it's because I'm old and my eyes are blurry. Xia Ming, I have to admit that I really misjudged you in the past. You're a piece of unpolished jade. The next month will be very tough. I hope you're mentally prepared!”
Zefa said slowly with a smile.
Xia Ming's spirits were lifted.
"Yes, Teacher Zefa!"
