I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 The combination of "Shanshen" and "Dragon Tail" is far more powerful than the Dragon Tail.

　　Even if he used a wooden sword, even if Takikawa was wearing armor, Ogata was confident that he would severely wound Takigawa by relying on the "Dragon Tail Flash" or directly killed him.

　　 Wooden knives can also kill people, after all, they are made of very solid wood.

　　 Once you accidentally hit a person's vitals with a little heavier force, it is extremely easy to cause injury or even death to others.

　　 In order to avoid killing Takigawa with a single blow, Ogata’s attack just now had a lighter force.

　　 It’s nothing more than—though Takikawa, who has the power of lightening, sturdily ate Ogata’s blow "Dragon Tail Flash", it didn’t feel good.

　　 The part of the armor that was cut by Ogata's wooden sword was already cracked.

　　 Takikawa was sweating coldly, and the expression on his face was particularly hideous because of pain, and his ribs must have been broken.

　　 He tried to get up.

　　 But the severe pain from the part hit by Ogata just now made Takikawa not even able to stand up.

　　 And it's useless even if he stands up. The outcome has been divided.

　　 After he was cut off by Ogata's sword, the referee who was in charge of deciding the outcome was stunned for a while, and immediately announced Ogata's victory loudly.

　　 After Ogata gave a sword to Takikawa, the audience was silent for a short while in shock.

　　 After the collective silence for a long time, the magic of "time pause" was lifted, and everyone slowly rioted in a state that was not too public.

　　 The people who had just asserted with a confident attitude that "the victory has been divided, it was Takikawa who won", at this time they closed their mouths and remained silent.

　　 Some people who are more ashamed directly show embarrassment on their faces and bury their heads slightly.

　　 All kinds of discussions have sprung up.

"I remember where I heard the name'Majima Goro'! It is said that a newcomer named'Mashima Goro' appeared at the Shiro Bingbei Club in Yoshiwara, and the'Ben Exam' started with the Gozen Trial Before, one person cut down 25 official posts from Huofu Thief."

　　 "Fire pay thieves change? Isn't that force everywhere fierce?"

　　 "Yes, after all, it is a unit specifically responsible for catching murderous arsonists and thieves."

　　 "Why does Goro Majima match up with the official staff of the Hosuke Thief Kai?"

"I don't know the specifics. It seems that the officer of the Huofu Thief Changed took the initiative to make trouble, and then these troublemakers were dealt with by Goro Majima alone, and then the'Kihei' personally came forward to apologize to the Shiro Bingbei Club, and then calmed down. This is something."

　　 "It's too strong...A single person can beat 25 official posts of the Huofu Thief Change... Isn't this a swordsman?"

　　 "This guy can not only get the first name in the literary test, but also the swordsmanship... Isn't he a descendant of a famous family?"

　　……

　　 And those friends of Takigawa, headed by Uesaka, rushed to the field when everyone else was discussing the preface, took off Takigawa's armor, and then lifted Takigawa off the field.

　　 "Wait! I can still fight! This is just a small injury! I can still fight!"

　　 Takikawa seemed unwilling to accept the cruel reality in front of him, yelling "I haven't lost yet" and "Let me down" insanely on his face.

　　 Uesaka and others ignored the yelling and unwillingness to face the reality of Takikawa, who "he has lost." They only used the fastest speed to lift Takikawa away and take Takikawa to heal his injuries.

　　 Ogata, who was still at the scene, did not rush to end.

　　 Instead, after two Suzhen came to the air in front of him, he smiled and murmured:

　　 "Very good, I found the feel."

　　 In the battle with Takikawa just now, the reason Ogata's actions were quite clumsy was purely because - Ogata was a little unaccustomed to using wooden swords.

　　 The last time I used a wooden sword, I was in Owari where I learned from Shimada before heading to Edo to gain experience points.

　　 I haven't touched the wooden sword for too long, so Ogata can't even adjust the center of gravity.

　　 Ogata used Oshaten, the blade length is longer than most wooden swords, the blade length alone is 75cm.

　　 The wooden knife that Ogata used just now has a blade length of only about 63cm, and its weight is far lighter than a real knife.

　　Different weights and different lengths of knives have slight differences in the optimal center of gravity that should be maintained.

　　I used to use Tai Shaten, and then used the ordinary wooden sword, so Ogata was a little confused about the center of gravity of his body and the best range of attack.

　　 In order to quickly retrieve the feel of using the wooden sword, Ogata did not immediately attack Takigawa when he was fighting Takikawa just now, but he defended first, slowly regaining the feel of the wooden sword.

　　 That's why the scene where "Ogata passively defended against Takigawa's attack with clumsy movements" appeared, giving everyone the illusion that Ogata's swordsmanship was very common.

　　……

The wooden sword was handed back to the officer in charge of managing weapons and protective gear. With the help of the officer, he took off his upper body protective gear and forehead protection. Under the attention of the people around, Ogata returned to Makimura and Shimada. Beside him.

　　 "It's a pity that I didn't have to gamble." Makimura grinned at Ogata who came back. "If I can gamble, I will keep betting on you, and I will definitely make a lot of money."

"Please put your careful thoughts on serious matters." After Ogata reluctantly complained about Makimura, he stood between Makimura and Shimada, and continued to pay attention to the fact that he was constantly in "Jiachang", " "The second field" is a trial-by-match in these two venues.

　　 Ogata and the others are waiting.

　　Waiting for the appearance of Gokutaro.

　　 They have never seen the power of Gokutaro with their own eyes.

　　 Therefore, they plan to see with their own eyes what is the skill of Gitaro, one of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

　　 Ogata and the others have also asked Amachi’s "Four Heavenly Kings" what sort of strength they are.

　　 It's a pity-Ah Ting also doesn't know what sort of strength the "Four Heavenly Kings" are.

　　 Questions like "who and whose strength are stronger" have always been extremely easy to provoke all kinds of disputes.

　　 The current "Four Heavenly Kings" in Shiranui have never fought together. Therefore, the ranking of the strength of the "Four Heavenly Kings" has not been finalized. The other ninjas in Shiranui can only speculate through logical reasoning and brain power.

　　 Because different people have different ideas, different versions are naturally born.

Before 　　 Ah Ding rebelled against Shiranui, the only version he had heard of was:

　　 Shintaro is the strongest, followed by Shintaro, and then Kotaro and Kokutaro are probably in the middle.

　　 Some people also think that Gokutaro should be the second strongest, because Gokutaro has the most record and is the most industrious one in the "Four Heavenly Kings", so he has the most practical experience.

　　 Some people think that Kotaro, who has been beheaded by Ogata, is the second strongest, because the weapon he uses is a very unpopular scythe. If he is not familiar with the scythe, even a master can overturn his ship in the gutter.

　　 Although there are many different versions.

　　 But no matter what version it is, there is one thing in common.

　　 That is-everyone agrees that Shun Taro is the strongest one.

　　 In the ranking of various versions of strength, no matter what the ranking of the bottom three is, the top one must be Shuntaro.

　　Ogata has asked Amachi why you don’t know why everyone in the fire believes that Shuntaro is the strongest. Has he ever done anything earth-shattering?

　　 And Amachi’s answer at the time was: She didn’t know if Shuntarou had done anything earth-shattering.

　　 She only knew that about 3 years ago, Shun Taro seemed to have done something terrible, and it was a big deal.

　　 And this thing Shintaro did 3 years ago is one of their taboos in Shiranui.

　　 The flame demon seems to have deliberately made people forget what Shuntaro did, and tried his best to control the spread of Shuntaro.

　　 Many ninjas in Shiranui, including Amachi, don’t know what Shuntaro did three years ago.

　　 Whenever you ask anyone what Shuntaro did three years ago, the respondent either said "unclear" or kept it secret.

According to Ah Ding, the reason why everyone believes that Shuntaro is the head of the "Four Heavenly Kings" is actually very simple-the Balrog has personally said to everyone in Shiranui more than once: If he does not include the Balrog, Shun Taro is their strongest combat power in Shiranui.

　　 Regarding the Balrog’s personal certification, the other three people in Shiranui never said a word of doubt, and they all acquiesced to the Balrog’s certification.

　　 And Shun Taro's performance all the time also matched the praise that Balrog gave him.

　　 The other three of the "Four Heavenly Kings" have all encountered powerful enemies, and they have all tried to be severely injured.

　　 Only Shun Taro has never been seriously injured during the mission.

　　 Not to mention a serious injury, even the number of injuries is so small that it can be counted by ten fingers.

　　 No matter who you fight with, Shintaro can win as easily as a son.

　　With the support of the Balrog’s personal certification and his own brilliant record, everyone unconsciously came to this consensus-"Shuntaro is the head of the'Four Heavenly Kings'"

　　 The three Ogata listened carefully to the names shouted by the officials of "Gachang" and "Beichang".

　　 Finally-not long after Ogata ended the battle with Ryukawa, there was a long-awaited shout from Ogata and others:

　　 "Gokuichiro! Gikiichiro! Please come forward!"

　　 The fact that Gokutaro participated in the "Gozen Examination" under the alias "Gokuichiro", Ogata and the others had already known from Hasegawa before.

　　 is like a conditioned reflex. The three of Ogata went straight to the "Jiachang" without saying a word.

　　Ogata and others just arrived at the "Gap Field", they saw Kokutaro carrying two short swords, and with the help of officials, wearing armor.

　　The weapon that Gokutaro holds is two wooden swords.

　　 The sword in the right hand is held upright, and the sword in the left hand is held backwards.

　　 uses a sword as a weapon, and still uses 2 handles-this is a rare "unpopular weapon user".

　　 So after the debut of Kokutaro, many spectators were attracted to the "A Field".

　　 After putting on his protective gear, Gitaro stood opposite his opponent with a confident smile on his face.

　　Gokutaro’s opponent uses a spear.

　　 Looking at Gitaro holding two short swords in his hand, the spearman smiled triumphantly.

　　 An inch is long and an inch is strong-in this vast terrain without any obstacles, it is an absolute truth.

　　 From a visual point of view, this spearman, whose weapon's attack range is many times wider than that of Gokutaro, has the advantage.

　　 After both sides stood still, the referee on the "A field" waved his hand and announced the start of the trial.

　　 As soon as the referee announced the start of the yelling voice, an extremely loud footstepping on the ground rang.

　　 As soon as the referee announced the start of the trial, Gitaro stepped on his back foot, turning the whole person into an afterimage, and attacked the opposing spearman.

　　 The pupils of the spearman opposite him suddenly shrank.

　　 However, this spearman still had two shots. After a brief shock, he quickly waved the spear in his hand, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, and stabbed at the fast approaching Gitaro.

　　 It's a pity-the spearman's spear is like a snake, and Gokutaro's movements are also like a snake.

　　 When the tip of the spear was about to hit Kokutaro, Kokutaro twisted his body, slid against the barrel of the spear, and slid towards the shooter.

　　Gokutaro slid up to the spearman and pressed the sword held in his left hand to the spearman's throat.

　　 The color of unwillingness and error flashed on the spearman's face several times.

　　 Finally, after a soft sigh, the spearman said: "I lost..."

　　 From the beginning to the end of the whole battle, less than 10 seconds passed.

　　 The spearman only had time to make one move, and a knife of Gokutaro was put on his neck.

　　 Seeing the spearman's confession, the confidence and pride on Kokutaro's face became more intense. After retracting the sword in his hand, he strode back to the edge of the court and took off his protective gear with the help of the officer.

　　 Ogata all frowned at this time.

　　 They wanted to see for themselves the specific strength of Gokutaro.

　　 This kind of level 100 players slapped level 10 players in a completely one-sided battle, it is impossible to see the specific strength of Gokutaro at all.

　　 "I can't tell how strong he is..." Makimura lowered his voice, and whispered to Ogata beside him in a helpless tone.

　　 "Fortunately, it is not completely unproductive." Ogata said with a helpless smile, "At least he knows that speed is his strong point, and he is good at fast attack."

　　 After Kokutaro and the spearman left the "A field", two new contestants boarded the "A field" again.

　　Because it takes the form of a one-stroke tiebreaker, the pace of the martial arts test is quite fast.

　　 The fast one takes only a few seconds, and the slow one takes about 2 or 3 minutes to complete a game.

　　 Of course, there are very few strange things, and after a few minutes, there is no decision.

　　 The two people are crazy "two-person turn" there.

　　 turned around, but didn't see them rushing to decide the outcome.

　　Of course, people in the government will not allow this kind of slow play.

　　 If everyone is in the "two-person turn", there are more than 400 people participating in the martial arts test, I don't know when it will be.

　　 After a "two-person turn" situation occurs in which venue, the referee on which venue will sternly stop it and ask the two of them not to linger.

　　 Because of the fast pace and the opening of two venues at the same time, it is expected that half of the four hundred people will be screened out before the evening of this day.

　　 Just as Ogata looked from a distance at Gokutaro who had taken off his protective gear and reintegrated into the crowd, a familiar young male voice sounded behind Ogata:

　　 "Huh? Isn't this Mashima?"

　　 Hearing this familiar young male voice, Ogata raised his eyebrows and followed his reputation.

　　 "Five or six?"

　　 A young man who was probably older than Ogata walked towards Ogata slowly with a smile.

　　 A face that is very familiar to Ogata—it was the young man named "Five Six" that Ogata met on the banks of the Rashomon River in the past few days.

　　Makimura and Shimada don't know Wuliu, so they cast inquiring glances at Ogata.

　　 "This is a friend I met in Yoshiwara, and his name is "Woru"." Ogata briefly introduced the next generation of Wuliu to Makimura and Shimada, and cast his doubts and curiosity on Wuliu.

　　 "Five or Six, are you here to watch the game?"

　　 "That's right." Wuliu shrugged, "Since the government announced that it would hold the "Queen Test Combination", I have been very interested in this "Private Trial Combination"."

　　 While talking, Wuliu walked to Ogata's side and stood side by side with Ogata.

　　 "Since you are interested, why not participate in person." Ogata asked in a half-joking tone.

"If I can, I actually want to participate in the'Prince Examination' myself." Wuliu smiled bitterly, and shrugged, "Unfortunately I have never studied the Four Books and Five Classics, and I don't even know how to write Chinese characters. I participated in the'Writing Examination.' 'It must be the end of the whole volume blank."

　　 Ogata asked, "Did you just come here?"

　　 "Well. I will sleep late today, so I just came here."

　　 "I saw you as soon as I came over. Mashima, you are very tall, so you can easily see you."

　　 Ogata, who is 1.7 meters tall, stands out among a bunch of people who are only 1.5 meters tall, 1.6 meters tall, and very few people are only 1.4 meters tall.

　　 Ogata just chatted with Wuliu, but not each other.

　　 And Wuliu, while chatting with Ogata, also watched the trial match on "A field" and "B field".

　　 After seeing it for a while, Wu Liu frowned slightly:

　　 "Why is the level so bad... even a master can't see it... It's so boring..."

　　 Ogata couldn't help but smile upon hearing Wuliu's words.

　　 "The Imperial Examination" has no restriction on identity and age, so naturally there are quite a lot of monsters and monsters to join this "Imperial Examination".

　　 Although there are occasionally one or two people of acceptable level, most of them are pecking at each other.

　　 "Occasionally, there are masters." Ogata whispered, "The discussion between the two samurai who used long spears just now was quite exciting."

　　……

　　……

　　 "Sakamoto Yuji! Sakamoto Yuji! Please come forward!"

　　 "Otoba" once again rang out from the officials.

　　 The match of the previous match has already been determined, and the officials of "Yichang" began to call out the names of the contestants in the next round.

　　 "Oh oh!" Wu Liu let out a faint exclamation, "It seems that a master has finally appeared on the stage."

　　 While talking, he fixed his gaze on "Yichang".

　　 Ogata has just been watching the trial match on "A Field" with Makimura and Shimada.

　　 Hearing Wu Liu said this, Okata, who was aroused by some curiosity, turned his head and looked at "Ochiba on the other side."

　　 However-as soon as he turned his gaze to "Otoba", Ogata's expression and expression instantly froze like a "time freeze" magic.

　　 Ogata saw a young man with a simple face wearing protective gear with the help of an official.

　　 After putting on his protective gear, the young man quickly stepped onto the "B-field" and stood opposite his opponent.

Looking at this simple-faced young man, a certain picture seemed to have self-consciousness, and it slowly emerged in Ogata's mind-this picture was more than three months ago when he met and met Ogata in Kyoto. The face of someone who has a special bond with Ogata.

　　 Although I met that guy for a short time, Ogata and him have had a fateful friendship.

　　 Ogata himself also did his best to point out the tricks of this guy who has been persistently calling him "master", this guy is half a master.

　　 At this moment, the face in my memory perfectly overlaps with the face of the young man who is now standing on the "Yichang".

　　 Kondo? !

　　 Ogata almost blurted out, calling out the young man's name.

　　 This somewhat honest-looking young man, it was Kondo Uchizosuke who became attached to Ogata in Kyoto more than three months ago.

　　 Looking at Kondo, who was standing with a knife on Otoba, facing his opponent, Ogata felt that his head had just been hit by a super fast train, and his head was directly smashed into a paste.

　　 One question after another came out of Ogata's mind.

　　 Kondo, why is he here?

　　 He actually participated in the "Private Examination"?

　　 Is he in Edo?

　　While Ogata was still immersed in shock, the referee of "Otsuba" waved his hand to announce the start of the trial.

　　 After the referee announced the start, Ogata slowly recovered from the shock.

　　 After regaining his composure and taking a closer look, Ogata discovered that he knew Kondo’s opponent.

　　 It is the Nagano who witnessed Ogata beautifully knocking down the guy who used the Treasure-in spear technique in Yoshihara before, and then suddenly popped out and invited Ogata to his sword museum as a diner.

　　 Ogata remembers that Nagano seems to have some connections with Genichi, so he has a deep impression of Nagano.

　　 Kondo and Nagano are standing opposite each other in the middle posture.

　　 "Ono is one swordsman, Nagano Hayao." Nagano is the first to report his name.

　　 "Natural rationality! Yuji Sakamoto!" Kondo responded with a voice much louder than Nagano.

　　 The black lines on Ogata's face became more when he heard the door of the Kondo newspaper.

　　 Ogata didn’t know much about Japanese history in his previous life.

　　 But even Ogata, who doesn’t know much about Japanese history, has heard of the daimyo of natural rationality.

　　 Ogata vaguely remembered that Kondo had told him before: He created a new genre based on Katori Shinto style, but he never thought about the name.

　　——Is this a new school created by Kondo? !

　　 Ogata couldn't help but yelled in such a mistaken heart.

　　 But now, compared to the natural flow of mind, Kondo's name is more concerned by Ogata.

　　——What the **** is Yuji Sakamoto... Has Kondo changed his name...

　　 I want to grab Kondo by the collar, and ask Kondo more and more questions...

　　 When Ogata was "tortured" by these problems one after another, the trial match between Kondo and Nagano began.

　　 Nagano launched the first strike.

　　 Nagano’s sword reveals the word “stable”.

　　 Regardless of whether it is attacking or returning to defense, he is very stable, not hurried or slow, not arrogant or impatient.

　　 On the other hand, Kondo, the breath on his sword is almost completely opposite to that of Nagano.

　　 Although Nagano launched the first strike, Kondo’s subsequent counterattacks have been violent.

　　 launched a fierce attack on Nagano with a very high aura.

　　 However—the swords he swung out with a high spirit were all blocked by Nagano one by one.

"...Although I have never heard of the name Natural Lixinliu, this natural Lixinliu seems to be the kind of genre that focuses on one blow and kills and ends the battle in the shortest time." Wuliu suddenly said nonchalantly. "This type of genre has a problem, that is, every sword uses its full strength, so it is not good at sustained combat."

　　 "The uncle who is against him seems to see this weakness..."

　　 Just as Wuliu said, Nagano seemed to have seen the weakness of Kondo's natural flow, and changed his tactics.

　　 no longer launched an active offensive against Kondo, but began to focus on defense, consuming Kondo's physical strength.

　　 Kondo saw Nagano's attempt, gritted his teeth, and the wind pressure from the wooden knife in his hand became stronger-but it was useless, and he still couldn't break Nagano's defenses.

　　 After the fierce attack and defense of the two continued for a while, violent gasps began to spit out from Kondo's mouth.

"...Young man." Nagano, whose breathing was only a little quicker, whispered at Kondo, who was beginning to pant, "Although your swordsmanship is good, your actual combat experience is not enough. You don't even know how to adjust your physical strength. "

　　 "Less long-winded..." Kondo responded to Nagano with an unpleasant tone, lifted the back of his left hand, and wiped the sweat dripping down his chin.

"no solution anymore……"

　　 After a grunt like this, Kondo took a deep breath.

　　 Then he straightened his slightly arched waist and looked straight at Nagano in front of him with a serious face.

　　 "Let you see "Ogata Ryu"!"

　　 "'Ogata Ryu'?" Nagano frowned slowly, "What is this? Is your genre's secret technique?"

　　 Kondo’s yell just now did not lower the volume.

　　 Even Ogata, who was a little far away from "Otoba", could clearly hear Kondo's shout just now.

　　 After hearing the word "Ogata Ryu" from Kondo's mouth, the expression on Ogata's face instantly became weird.

　　 "It is indeed a secret technique, but it is not a secret technique of my natural flow. Keep your eyes open!"

　　 After that, Kondo held the sword upside down, and then directly inserted it into the ground covered with fine gravel under his feet.

　　 Kondo's act of sticking the wooden knife upside down on the ground aroused the doubts of everyone around him.

　　Whether people who have learned swordsmanship or those who don't know anything about swordsmanship, they have never heard of or seen such a sword-holding posture.

　　 When everyone else was puzzled, only Ogata's expression became more and more weird.

　　 Ogata now only feels that this picture is very familiar, and his vision is extremely strong!

　　 "...young man." Nagano frowned, "Is this inexplicable posture the ‘Ogata Ryu’ you just mentioned?"

　　 "No." Kondo shook his head, "It's hard for me to explain to you what is going on in this posture, anyway-this is a proud skill I have explored during this period of time."

　　 Although he couldn't understand Kondo's operation, the confidence and pride on Kondo's face made Nagano unconsciously raise his guard.

When 　　 became wary, the fighting spirit also rose.

　　 After tightening the wooden knife in his hand, Nagano walked slowly towards Kondo.

　　He intends to come and understand for himself what "Ogata Ryu" is that can make this young man show such a confident expression. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

　　 No matter how Nagano narrowed the distance between the two, Kondo remained motionless, allowing Nagano to approach.

　　 Kondo's "unmoving as a mountain" appearance made Nagano's brows frown even tighter.

　　 Unknowingly, under Nagano's approach, the distance between Nagano and Kondo was only 3 steps away.

　　 This is a fairly safe distance-Kondo can't directly hit him with a knife.

　　 Just as Nagano, standing in a safe atmosphere, opened his mouth, when he was about to say something——

　　 "Accept the move!"

　　 Kondo suddenly opened his eyes wide and suddenly raised the sword that was stuck on the ground.

　　 The rising blade stirred up a "drizzle" composed of crushed soil and sand, and came towards Nagano Pavement.

　　 Looking at the "stone rain" coming from the pavement, Nagano's pupils shrank suddenly, and subconsciously raised his left hand to block his face.

　　 Nagano's reaction was quick, and in time he blocked the "gravel rain" that hit his face.

　　 Although he failed to blind Nagano, he also succeeded in exposing Nagano's flaws.

　　 His face was full of excitement, Kondo immediately rushed towards Nagano, whose flaws were exposed.

　　 yelled excitedly as he pounced on Nagano:

　　 "How? Have you learned the power of "Ogata Ryu"?"
