Players are coming, fortunately I have a time travel simulator

It's not bad. Although I didn't get the intermediate swordsmanship and the Six Styles of the Navy, I got the most desired Observation Haki and Conqueror Haki, and also got a panacea skill, dodge, which is a huge gain.

At least it’s not a loss.

A huge amount of knowledge flooded into Zhou Ning's mind, and he gained a lot of knowledge about Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki in his mind, such as how to release Conqueror's Haki, how to use Observation Haki in battle, etc.

There are also three new skills on the panel.

[Heroic Haki (Intermediate)]: A trait only possessed by a king, granting an additional +3 to your Spiritual Power. This aura can damage and stun surrounding enemies, with the effect determined by the Spiritual Power difference between you and the enemy. The base duration is 0.36 seconds. If the Spiritual Power difference is too great, it can also cause a stun effect. (This skill cannot be used in fusions.)

[Observation Haki (Basic)]: Passive skill, additional +1 mental strength, can make the five senses more acute, and can also be used to predict and avoid danger. (This skill cannot be used for fusion)

[Dodge (Basic): A general skill that gives you a better chance of dodging enemy attacks.]

What a magical skill!

Zhou Ning looked at the description of Conqueror's Haki in amazement. Although it couldn't be used for fusion, the effect was equivalent to group damage and group control. Once the mental attribute was high, whether facing powerful enemies or group attacks, it would be easy. This skill alone could elevate his combat effectiveness to a higher level.

I looked at my experience points. Although I had used up all the experience points by upgrading the Alchemist Apprentice, after a few days of crazy efforts, the experience points I could control returned to more than 73000.

You can also spend a little bit to improve your combat effectiveness.

Although life skills can be integrated, it is not necessary at this moment. The war is imminent and experience must be used to the best effect.

Now Zhou Ning's common skills suitable for fusion are: Shooting Mastery (Basic), Ripple Breathing (Basic), Mozambique Shooting (Basic), CAR Shooting (Basic), Dodge (Basic), Armament Haki (Basic).

[John Wick] and [Wave Shot] are both fusion skills and cannot be fused a second time, so they do not appear on the list.

Zhou Ning spent 12000 experience points to upgrade both Shooting Mastery and Dodge to intermediate, and then chose Skill Fusion. Since Shooting Mastery was being used for a second synthesis, the fusion experience cost 4000 more, but it was worth it.

[Would you like to fuse Shooting Mastery (Intermediate) and Dodge (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 12000 experience points. The success rate is 50%]

Zhou Ning chose yes without hesitation, clearing his dodge and shooting proficiency experience and returning to the beginner level.

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill: [Dodge Shot] (Elementary).]

[Dodge Shot (Basic): An extremely flexible shooting method. Dodging backward consumes an additional 4 stamina. Shooting forward deals 135% of normal attack damage.]

"Success!"

Zhou Ning's eyes lit up. Dodge was indeed a panacea, perfect for fusion. This dodge-shoot combination was the best he could think of, offering both offensive and defensive capabilities while also providing bonus weapon damage. It was even more effective than the warrior's dodge-slash attack, as shooting provided long-range damage and paired well with the distance-enhancing dodge.

Strike while the iron is hot, Zhou Ning next turned his attention to Armament Haki. Upgrading Armament Haki to intermediate level is three times more expensive than ordinary skills, requiring 18000 experience points. Zhou Ning spent 26000 experience points to upgrade both Armament Haki and Mozambique Shooting to intermediate level, and chose to fuse them again.

[Would you like to fuse Armament Haki (Intermediate) and Mozambique Marksmanship (Intermediate)? This fusion will consume 12000 experience points. The success rate is 36%]

Wouldn’t that be a bit low?

Zhou Ning hesitated for a while, but finally chose no. He gritted his teeth and spent another 2 experience points to upgrade the Mozambique shooting method from intermediate to advanced. Looking at the fusion success rate, it increased from 36% to 58%.

Fight!

[Fusion successful, you gain the skill: [Fatal Direct Shot] (Elementary).]

[Fatal Direct Shot] (Basic): A close combat gunfighting technique that uses a bullet wrapped in Armament Haki to headshot the target, causing heavy damage.

Not bad, Zhou Ning was quite pleased. Although this skill was not as powerful as the evasive shooting, it might be stronger than the ripple shooting in terms of output.

There was still some experience left, so Zhou Ning thought about it and decided to upgrade the Ripple Breathing Method. According to his career plan, there was no need to rush to improve his combat skills. The Ripple Breathing Method could not only increase strength and agility, but also passively increase strength and agility if practiced every day. In just a few days, Zhou Ning's agility increased by 1 point, so it was definitely worthwhile to invest the points here.

The experience points were all used up again. I decided to give up the remaining 11 free points and go all in.

8 points were allocated to spirit and 3 points were added to willpower to slightly make up for the shortcomings of abnormal resistance.

After investing a lot of experience, Zhou Ning's panel is now completely renewed, especially his mental power, which has reached a level comparable to that of a mage.

Zhou Ning: ...

Wow, finally some positive reviews!

His combat power soared directly from 399 to 1295. Wearing the Phoenix battle suit, it is estimated that it will exceed 5000. Now he has strong blood!

Wanting to test the effect of Conqueror's Haki, Zhou Ning shifted his gaze from Sherlock to XB.

XB was full of excitement at this time, waiting for the next plot to begin, when he suddenly felt a scary gaze sweeping over from the opposite side. He looked up and saw Zhou Ning and Xi's smile.

"What happened, boss?" XB asked cautiously, not knowing that he had narrowly escaped the fate of a guinea pig.

"Nothing." Zhou Ning smiled.

The carriage stopped near the Witsel Church Square at this time. It was a place for welcoming state guests, holding celebrations, or for people to pray, and carriages were not allowed to enter.

When Sherlock lifted the curtain and prepared to get off the carriage, Zhou Ning suddenly had an intuition, an intuition that made him almost certain that Sherlock would fall down next!

Then he saw Sherlock land lightly on the ground, turned around and said to Zhou Ning: "Let's go, they should be in the square."

Then, perhaps because he was too anxious, he accidentally stepped on a protruding stone and stumbled and fell to the ground.

Sure enough, Zhou Ning was slightly delighted and reached out to pull him up.

His Observation Haki was indeed stronger than he had imagined. Even at the elementary level, he could rely on his intuition to predict the target's next move.

Although this intuition may be fleeting in real combat and cannot be grasped every time, grasping it just once may determine the outcome of the battle.

After crossing the bridge, the Witsel Church Square was not far ahead. At that time, "Matilda", the music used by the Kingdom of Braxton to welcome state guests, was playing, and it didn't seem to sound unusual.
