[Description: After being released, a barrier with roaring wind will be cut out. From a rule level, all flying props coming towards you will be confiscated, excluding life forms]
[Current stage: Elementary, each release will consume 25% of physical strength. Points can be spent to upgrade this skill to enhance the scale and maximum duration of the barrier, and reduce the loss of physical strength]
[Points required to upgrade to the next stage (intermediate level): 120,000]
[Prerequisite skills required to understand this skill: Advanced Swordsmanship]

"At the rules level, flying props are confiscated..."
Nuo Xia's eyes flashed slightly, and she was amazed in her heart.
"It can be said to be a magical defensive skill. No wonder it was so expensive in the mall before, and I haven't used it for a second time..."
Sure enough, the S-class gift box must be of high quality.
As for the prerequisites for advanced swordsmanship, it’s not really a problem.
Long before he returned to the East China Sea to visit his relatives, his swordsmanship had already loosened its bottleneck, and he was only the last step away from advanced swordsmanship.
In the days to come, as long as you focus on the way of sword practice, you will surely have a breakthrough soon.
"Continue practicing."
Everything has been opened and the seals have been shipped collectively. Nuo Xia was very satisfied with today's harvest. He turned off the system panel and devoted himself to hard work again.
—————
Ten days later.
The first branch of Xihai.
In the not-so-spacious training room, sixty sailors stood on the southeast and southeast sides with guns, aiming and firing at the center of the field from different angles.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
For a while, gunshots continued to ring out, and bullets rained down all over the sky.
And a figure is closing his eyes tightly, his body is as strong as a swimming dragon, and he is able to shuttle between the rain of bullets with ease.
Half an hour later, the gunfire gradually died down.
The sailors were all panting from exhaustion, rubbing their sore wrists, looking enviously at Nuo Xia, who landed slowly in the middle of the field, unscathed, and even his clothes were intact.
"I must have fired at least hundreds of rounds, but I didn't even get a single hit."
"Yes, and in such a small space, Major General Nuo Xia's strength is simply terrifying."
"The main thing is that the eyes are closed. What does the headquarters call this? Seeing and hearing?"
"I don't know..."
The sailors whispered that they had never entered the Grand Line, and many of them did not even know what domination was, but this did not affect Nuo Xia's strength, which deeply shocked them.
"Thank you for your hard work."
Nuo Xia walked over, smiled and nodded to everyone, then took the water bottle handed over by his subordinates, and strode out of the training ground as the sailors saluted in unison.
"Compared to simple meditation, this training method is indeed more effective for the cultivation of seeing, hearing, and seeing."
While drinking water, he thought to himself, "It's just a bit wasteful of manpower and bullets. I didn't have such conditions in the elite camp before graduation..."
Sure enough, it would be better to be delegated to the base below and be the leader.
He has no interest at all in eating, drinking, having fun and misappropriating public funds, but at least he can be "extremely extravagant" in this aspect.
Huh? The deputy base commander is not the first in command, but the second in command, right?
Hey, after all, your immediate boss is your wife, does it make any difference whether you are the first in command or the second in command?
"If I continue at this rate, within a week at most, I will be able to further master the color of knowledge and upgrade it to an intermediate level."
Nuo Xia pondered in his mind, "When I was dodging bullets just now, I turned on 10 times the gravity. After the breakthrough, I raised the gravity threshold, which increased the pressure on the body. I can also use this training method to permanently improve the level of seeing, hearing and color."
"
In the past ten days, he has been like this. He spent an hour every day to turn on the negative gravity field and let ordinary soldiers in the base practice sparring. There was no need to find fast and strong men to sparring with.
Coupled with about two hours of meditation time every day, his level of knowledge and perception can improve rapidly at a speed far exceeding that of ordinary people.
certainly.
In addition to seeing, hearing, and seeing, Nuo Xia did not neglect other aspects of practice.
Physical training alone takes more than four hours a day, and swordsmanship training puts a lot of energy into it, practicing swordsmanship for about ten hours almost every day.
And this is based on the premise that he needs to fulfill his promise and help Taotu handle complicated government affairs every day.
During this period, he even went to sea once and wiped out a pirate group whose entire ship had a bounty of nearly 100 million beli.
He keeps turning around for 24 hours. Looking at the entire naval system, he is probably the only one who can do it.
——What is a time management master! (tactical retreat)
I don't know what kind of heartbroken expression Sir Huang would have on the G2 branch when he learned that he was not assigned to his subordinates, but was sent to the South China Sea.
"Next it's time to practice swordsmanship."
He put down the water bottle, full of expectations in his heart, "Both the knowledge, color and swordsmanship are about to loosen their bottlenecks. I don't know which one will break through first..."
——
Another five days passed.
At night, Nuo Xia, who was sweating profusely, simply rinsed his body and returned to his bedroom refreshed.
To be precise, it's the bedroom he shares with Little Rabbit.
On the spacious double bed, Taotu had already finished washing, and was sitting on the bedside with a leisurely expression, flipping through a thick book in his hand, and taking a sip of the coffee next to him from time to time.
"What are you looking at? You are so fascinated."
Nuo Xia skillfully took off her shirt, got into bed, and took a curious look at it.
It turned out that it was a comic, and the style of the painting was quite childish. Several people looked like Kamen Riders, wearing colorful transformation battle suits, and fought passionately with various weirdos.
"You're so old, you're still reading this." He couldn't help curling his lips, "I have a set of comics called Boruto Comics here, which is really exciting. I'll give you a look at them another day."
"The individual volumes of the Germa series of comics have been serialized in newspapers before. I have been following them for a long time. I have to read the ending."
Like an adolescent girl, Taotu glanced at him coquettishly. She was about to continue turning over the last two pages, but out of the corner of her eye, she accidentally caught sight of the lower part of Nuo Xia's neck and behind the half-fruited upper body...
Little Rabbit swallowed quietly and closed the comic in his hand with a "snap".
Nuo Xia didn't notice her little movement. After sitting firmly on the bedside, he habitually opened the system panel and glanced over it.
It has become his habit to carefully check his attribute list every few days.
"The three basic attributes have not changed. Well, after all, it has been less than a month since the last improvement. It is normal for the progress to be slower as it goes forward... Wait!"
He suddenly sat up straight and stared at the skill list below with a look of surprise on his face, "Both swordsmanship and knowledge and color have achieved breakthroughs today?"
It’s a double happiness!
These days of hard work were not in vain. Nuo Xia felt excited and immediately clicked to use the "Wind Barrier Skill Scroll" that had been put aside in the backpack column because he could not learn it for the time being.
Immediately, he hurriedly opened the quilt, without even putting on his coat, opened the door and ran out of the base.
"It's so late, where are you going all of a sudden?"
Peach rabbit's angry voice came from behind.
"I suddenly realized something in the way of swordsmanship. I have to test it out!" Nuo Xia didn't look back.
Even if it’s an epiphany, why can’t we wait until dawn tomorrow to try it again?
Looking at the figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, Little Rabbit felt his teeth itching with hatred. After punching Nuo Xia's pillow next to him, he could only pick up the comic angrily.
only……
Taotu held his chin in a daze, always feeling like something was tickling his heart. The plot of the comic he was reading with gusto just now, but now for some reason, he couldn't understand it at all...

seaside.
Under the action of the tide, the sea surface along the first branch of the West Sea is rough, with waves more than ten meters high coming one after another.
"Standing under the waves, when the waves hit me, they should be judged as flying props."
Nuo Xia, who was still naked from the waist up, stood facing the ocean holding a sword, looking directly at the approaching waves, "It's perfect for testing the wind barrier."
One hundred meters, fifty meters, twenty meters... Seeing the huge wave approaching, Nuo Xia's eyes flashed coldly, and finally Iai suddenly drew his sword!
Whoosh!
The dark red blade of Azakana's sword and the snow-white jade sword intertwined with each other in the night sky, creating afterimages. A thick wall of howling wind suddenly formed in front of him in an instant!
"Hasaki!"
There was no one around in the middle of the night, so Nuo Xia took the opportunity to hit the target. The moment the wind wall slashed out, he shouted out the name of the dish.
Wow!
The huge waves hit us head-on with a terrifying force, but the moment they touched the wind barrier, they suddenly disappeared as if they were swallowed into a different dimension.
Hundreds of cubic meters of seawater just disappeared out of thin air.
The fish and shrimp mixed in it fell from the air like raindrops, along the periphery of the wind wall, and fell into the sea in front of Nuoxia.
"Living creatures will not be devoured, but they will also be stopped."
The wave receded, and Nuo Xia's body was still as dry as before, without any trace of sea water.
He returned the arrow to its sheath, looked up at the wind barrier gradually dissipating in mid-air, and grinned:
"Sure enough, it is a magic isolation skill at the level of rules, so cool!"
Once you master this skill, no matter how terrifying the enemy's moves are in the future, even if it's Akainu's magma waterfall or Fujitora's meteorites falling from the sky...
As long as he takes precautions in advance, he can easily stop it!
It just consumes a lot of energy. One time is 25%. If he uses it four times in a row, he will probably go into overdraft shock on the spot.
Nuo Xia thought for a while, opened the system panel, and directly spent 120,000 points to upgrade the Wind Barrier from elementary to intermediate.
[Your Wind Barrier skill has been upgraded to the intermediate level, and its power has been enhanced. Each release will consume 20% of your physical strength]
[You can spend 300,000 points to upgrade this skill to an advanced level. After the upgrade, 15% of your physical strength will be consumed each time you release it. Do you want to upgrade it now? 】
Nuo Xia looked at the current points.
There are about 250,000 points left, which is ridiculous, there is no way to raise it.
"Is this a game system produced by Goose Factory? It's really a scam. Let's wait until we get richer to talk about it later..."
He muttered and shut down the system, then drew his sword again and tried to cut a wind wall towards the sea.
It can be clearly felt that the physical consumption has been reduced, and the most important thing is that the maximum duration and maximum defense range of the wind wall have greatly jumped up a notch.
The primary wind wall just now was only about ten meters wide, but now it has been directly raised to about twenty meters, and its duration has doubled from five seconds to ten seconds.
This means that the practicality of the wind wall in war will be greatly improved. Such a wide defense range can not only protect itself from damage, but also protect its subordinates and even the warships under it.
120,000 points are still not in vain.
"Come now, go back to the house and sleep!"
He put away his sword with satisfaction, humming the melody of "Eternal Pointer" all the way back home, but when he arrived at the bedroom door, he twisted the door for a long time without opening it...
"Strange, I remember not locking it when I came out..."
Nuo Xia scratched his head in confusion and started knocking on the door "Bang Bang Bang", "Hey, Brigadier, open the door, I'm back!"
"I've already fallen asleep."
Little Rabbit's cold voice came from inside, "The door won't open. Just go to the training room and sleep holding your sword."
"..."
Nuo Xia reluctantly held the sword and went out. Snowflakes were flying outside and the north wind blew. His lonely figure stood proudly in the snow and frost like a fallen plum blossom.
baffling.
He scratched his head, feeling confused and confused. How could he have offended the little rabbit?
————
Time passes.
In the blink of an eye, December has passed, and time has arrived in January of the year 1502 in the Hyalinian calendar.
It coincides with the New Year's Day, and a warm and festive atmosphere lingers in the Xihai First Branch Base.
"Happy New Year, Major General!"
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year."
After passing through the debris of fireworks on the ground, Nuo Xia, who had just finished a night of hard training with Taotu, yawned and walked out the door.
He lazily greeted his subordinates, flipped through the newspaper delivered in the morning, and walked towards the restaurant.
The headline in today's newspaper is about the World Conference.
This major conference, which is attended by the monarchs of the 50 participating countries of the World Government and is held only every four years, has been planned since the second half of last year.
Starting from the beginning of the year, that is, in the past few days, monarchs from various countries will set off one after another to embark on a journey to the Holy Land Marie Joa to attend the meeting.
Some countries that are relatively close are fine, but those that are slightly more remote will inevitably need the navy to send warships to escort them along the way.
Some strong men at the lieutenant general level will even be drawn out to serve as guards.
"What a waste of manpower and material resources."
Nuo Xia curled her lips, scratched her scalp and said to herself:
"I will serve those powerful people only after I have eaten enough... But this matter should not be my turn. After all, I am just a major general. I have neither strength nor qualifications..."
And below the headline, there is a report that is also quite eye-catching.
The Fish-Man Island, located 10,000 meters under the sea in the holy land of Mariejoia, has been on the only way to the new world since the Great Pirate Age began.
In recent years, it has been invaded and attacked by pirates. It is not uncommon for mermaid girls to be kidnapped and taken away and turned into slaves.
The entire country is in dire straits and miserable.
On the occasion of the New Year, the Whitebeard Pirates suddenly announced that they would place Fish-Man Island under their sphere of influence.
All criminal plunder against the island will be regarded as a provocation to the Whitebeard Pirates and will be severely retaliated against!
Public opinion was immediately in an uproar, and major newspapers rushed to report on it.
If the world conference hadn't been so important and dominated the limelight, I'm afraid today's front page headline would be a photo of Whitebeard grinning boldly at the camera.
