I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

　　 Hirose Clan, Sakihara Sword Museum.

　　 "Ha..." Mikami sat slumped on the edge of the dojo, "So tired...I have no strength..."

　　, sitting next to him, Ogata also smiled and echoed:

　　 "Me too... I can't move anymore..."

　　 After the people from Ishikawa Sword Museum raided their Sakura Sword Museum a few days ago, many of their Sakihara Sword Museum's disciples were seriously injured.

　　 And Ogata’s junior, Makino, is one of those people who have suffered serious injuries.

　　 Because Makino is still lying in bed to recuperate until now, Makino has not been able to come to the dojo to practice swords these days.

　　 So, Ogata’s most frequent partner for training in the past two days has become his senior—Mikami.

　　 In order to be able to raise the level of "Two Swords without Me" as soon as possible, Ogata "tortures" himself every day for the past two days.

　　 Even though he has been so "tortured" by himself, Ogata's "Second Sword Style" has not yet been upgraded.

　　The distance is upgraded, and 130 experience points are still missing.

There are many reasons why 　　 has not been upgraded yet.

　　One reason is that the experience points needed to upgrade the "Selfless Two Swordsmanship" are unknown-quite a lot.

　　 To upgrade the "Two Swords without Me" from level 1 to level 2, Ogata needs 300 experience points.

　　The other reason is that Ogata does not win every battle when he competes with Mikami.

　　 When playing against Mikami, Ogata deeply realized that even if his skill has surpassed his opponent by a lot when fighting with people, if he is not careful, he is very likely to lose.

　　 Although Ogata's three attributes of strength, stamina, and vitality are still 5, the two attributes of agility and reflex nerve have reached 8 points.

　　 At the same time, Ogata's sword skill "Birdstab" has reached the "advanced" level, which is Ogata's current strongest attack skill.

　　 In addition, he also mastered the two major auxiliary skills of "Source's Breath" and "Step Step".

　　 However, even so, when Ogata competes with Mikami, there is no guarantee of victory in every battle.

　　 Although in every match against Mikami, most of the rounds were Ogata's victories.

　　 But Mikami will occasionally defeat Ogata for a few rounds.

　　 As for the few games that ended with Ogata's defeat, the reason why they lost, without exception, was because Ogata was distracted and careless.

　　 Just stepping away from the gods, Mikami keenly seized the fighter opportunity and successfully counter-killed Ogata.

　　 Ogata deeply realized what a terrible technique swordsmanship is.

　　 Even if you are far better than your opponent, you are still very likely to be injured or defeated by your opponent if you are not careful.

　　Today, Ogata also competed with Mikami for many consecutive games, until now both of them are panting and can't move anymore.

　　 Although both of them are now sitting on the edge of the dojo and regaining their stamina, Ogata is actually not idle.

　　 "Hi...ha..."

　　 Ogata adjusted his breathing.

　　 Gradually, Ogata's breathing changed from ordinary breathing to "source breath".

　　 Since unlocking the skill "Gen's Breath", Ogata will use "Gen's Breath" whenever he is free.

　　 Whether in battle or in daily leisure.

　　The reason for doing this is purely because Ogata intends to use "source of breath" to do a new experiment.

　　 Ogata intends to experiment-whether he can upgrade his skills without relying on skill points, but only through hard training.

　　 Regarding the various functions and settings of the system, Ogata is still in a state of little understanding.

　　 In the case of not using skill points, can the level of skill points be improved only through hard training? Ogata thinks this experiment is very necessary.

　　 But this experiment is destined to be a very time-consuming experiment.

　　 Let’s take Sakihara’s slashing technique-water fall as an example. God knows how long it takes Ogata to practice Shurao in order to raise the level of Shurao from intermediate to advanced.

　　 Compared with attacking techniques such as water fall and bird sting, skills such as "Source's Breath" are the most suitable for this experiment.

　　 Because "The Breath of the Source" does not require you to hold a sword.

　　 does not need any venue.

　　 You can start practicing anytime, anywhere.

　　 Therefore, the time it takes to do this experiment with "Source's Breath" will be much shorter.

　　 At present, Ogata can only use "Gen's Breath" for about 4 minutes.

　　 After 4 minutes, Ogata's breathing will gradually become messy, and then he is forced to stop using "Gen's Breath".

　　 After this period of continuous practice, Ogata vaguely felt that the use time of "Gen's Breath" seemed to be longer.

　　 Although it did not grow much longer, it probably only grew for a few seconds.

　　 Although Ogata didn't know how long it would take him to train to raise the level of "Source Breath" from beginner to intermediate without using skill points, he was ready to fight a protracted battle.

　　 is also ready to meet the worst result of "under the constraints of the system, the skill level cannot be improved by hard training alone".

　　 After the heat and sweat on his body stopped flowing and the originally hot body gradually cooled down, Mikami turned his head over~www.wuxiahere.com~ and looked at the sky outside the dojo.

　　 "The sky is already very dark..." Sanshang said, "This is the end of today's practice."

"Yeah." As soon as Mikami's voice fell, Xu on the side answered, "I mean it too. It just so happens that my body is too tired to move, and my stomach is hungry, so let's go home for dinner. "

　　 Ogata stood up while talking.

　　 However-at this moment, a hurried figure rushed into the dojo.

　　Because the footsteps of this hurried figure were too loud and too anxious, they attracted everyone's attention. After this figure rushed into the dojo, Ogata and others in the field immediately followed their reputation.

　　 After seeing the appearance of this figure, Ogata raised his eyebrows: "Master?"

　　 The person who rushed into the dojo in a hurry was Ogata and their master, Sakihara Hanbei.

　　 After entering the dojo, Hanbei turned his eyes anxiously, looking for someone in the dojo.

　　Because it is a bit late now, there are not many people practicing swords in the dojo.

　　 So, Hanbei quickly found the person he was looking for.

　　 "Ogata!" Hanbei rushed towards Ogata quickly, and said anxiously, "Something happened!"

　　 "Master, what's the matter?" Ogata wondered.

　　 "Just now, the old man suddenly summoned me and Ishikawa soldiers and horses." Hanbei said in a deep voice, "The old man asked us to advance the time for the sacrifice to the gods!"

　　 "Advance the time for the rites of worship?!" Mikami, who was standing next to Ogata, heard Hanbei's words and exclaimed, "Master, when will it be advanced?"

　　 Hanbei gritted his teeth: "Tomorrow! Tomorrow morning ahead of schedule! This year's ritual contest will be held tomorrow morning!"
