I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Just now, it was Ogata who played the first one to six.

At the same time, Ogata did not know how many games he lost this one-to-six.

The reason for Ogata's loss every time was surprisingly unified-the venue was not spacious enough to avoid the knives cut from different directions.

Although he lost again in a one-to-six game, Ogata didn't feel that frustrated.

Because - although I lost just now, Ogata still got an experience point because of the success of defeating Ichi, San, and Goro.

And this experience value finally allowed Ogata to get what Ogata had been dreaming of this month-the level 5 second-sword style of the selfless.

Taking advantage of this break, Ogata opened his personal system interface.

【Name: Ogata Yoshie】

[Level personal attributes:

Strength: 9

Agility: 8

Reflex nerve: 8

Stamina: 9

【skill:

...

【Selfless Two Swords (5 paragraphs):

Breath of the Source: Elementary】

...

Ogata has been waiting for this moment.

Waiting for the moment when Wuyou Second Swords reach level 5 and get these 3 exclusive skill points.

After browsing the various values ​​on the interface roughly, Ogata yelled in his heart:

——Add 1 point to strength.

——Use 1 skill point and 1 exclusive skill point to upgrade "Blade Counter" to advanced!

——Use 2 exclusive skill points to upgrade "Circulation" to advanced level!

As soon as the words in Ogata's heart fell, a series of systematic sounds immediately sounded in his mind.

【Ding! Strength +1]

[Current strength value: 10 points]

【Ding! Consume 1 skill point and 1 exclusive skill point, no-self two swordsmanship sword skill, blade counter is promoted to "advanced" skill]

【Ding! Consumption of 2 exclusive skill points, No-Self Second Sword Skill, Circulation is promoted to "advanced" skill]

[Current remaining skill points: 0 points]

Until the series of system sounds in his mind fell, Ogata took a breath of relief, and muttered in a low volume that only he could hear:

"Finally...I have practiced both the circulation and the blade countermeasures to a high level..."

Just thinking about the life he has lived this month, Ogata feels scalp tingling...

In order to be able to level up, Ogata really had to fight his own life.

This month, Ogata heard from Kuranaga and Ichiro countless times like "Enough, take a break" and "You take a break."

It is precisely because of Ogata's desperate effort that Ogata's rank has continued to rise during this month.

The various attributes of the body, as well as the major sword skill levels of the Second Blade of Selflessness have also continued to soar.

Ogata used most of his skill points to correct his weaknesses-strength and stamina.

Ogata silently opened his personal system interface again, and then clicked on the small question mark behind the two items of "Circulation" and "Blade Counter" in the martial arts column.

The circulation here shows:

[Expend 4 skill points to upgrade to a "master-level" sword skill. Because the host's power has not reached 14 points, the agility has not reached 12 points, and the "Blade Counter" has not reached the master level, so it is temporarily not upgradeable]

On the opposite side, it shows:

[Expend 4 skill points to upgrade to a "master-level" sword skill. Because the host's power has not reached 12 points, the agility has not reached 11 points, and the reflex nerves have not reached 10 points, it is temporarily not upgradeable]

——After reaching the advanced level of sword skills, if you want to go further, the difficulty will surely increase in a straight line...

Previously, when the level of circulation was still intermediate, the only conditions displayed for promotion to advanced were that the strength reached 9 and the blade counter level reached advanced.

But now if you want to be promoted to the master level, the upgrade conditions are instantly harsh several times...

Ogata silently shut down the system interface, then grabbed the wooden knife next to it.

He couldn't wait to try both to reach the power of high-level circulation and rebellion.

However, at this moment-the paper sliding door of the dojo was opened with a "crush".

Those who opened the door and entered the dojo were Kuranaga, who was sullen, and the flying ape who followed him.

Before Ogata and others could say hello to Kuranaga, Kuranaga said in a low voice:

"The lord... will set off tomorrow to hunt in the wild boar forest!"

As soon as Kuranaga's words fell, the pupils of Ogata and others in the dojo shrank.

"...Finally... is it coming..." Ichiro was the first to speak out.

Ogata did not express any emotion.

Just clenched the wooden knife in his hand.

Undisguised cold light burst into his eyes.

"You all come with me." Kuranaga said solemnly, "it's time for a combat meeting."

...

...

That night--

In a small hidden room in the Kurunaga mansion, Kurunaga, Tobiru, Ogata and others were sitting together.

On the tatami in the middle of the crowd, there is a map spread out.

"This is the map of the wild boar forest." Kuranaga touched the map with his big, withered hand, and continued, "There are a lot of wild boars in this forest. It is one of the lord's favorite hunting places."

"Flying Ape has collected reliable information-the lord will lead his attendants to hunt in the wild boar forest tomorrow morning."

"Tomorrow... the old man." Saburo suddenly whispered, "Can I ask a question?"

"go ahead."

"How many guards will he bring with Genai Matsudaira tomorrow?"

"125 people." Cang Yong said an accurate number. "The lord's guards were originally 113 people. Although some were killed and injured in the accident a month ago, the lord had been in the same heart again. A group of new people have been selected to serve as his guards. The lord’s current guards total 125-this number is absolutely correct, I can guarantee."

The accident that Kurunaga was referring to a month ago was the bloodbath of the Sakurahara Sword Museum.

"125 people..." Shiro let out a slightly cowardly exclamation.

Since Ogata joined the team of lofty people this month, Kuranaga has never stopped recruiting new lofty people.

But as Kuranaga said to Ogata before-now this year, it is too difficult to find a samurai who is capable of fighting and is willing to pay his own life to support the righteousness.

Although Kuranaga never slackened in this month, he still failed to recruit a new lofty figure.

That is to say-Tomorrow Ogata and the others can only face the Matsudaira Genuchi protected by 125 guards with a mere 7 people...

"You don't have to be too scared."

Kuranaga Road.

"The lord's over a hundred guards, most of them are average martial arts."

"At least 100 of these 125 people have swordsmanship, which is not as good as 7 of you."

"The only thing that can be considered troublesome is the Qiyuan."

"And this is not a 7 vs. 125 battle."

"The action we are going to take tomorrow is not a joint war."

"It's an assassination."

"We have only one purpose from beginning to end, and that is the lord."

"Just launch a charge in the direction of the lord and kill the lord. It doesn't matter whether the rest of the people are dead or alive."

"Moreover-in terms of equipment, the seven of you are also far above the lord's guards."

Having said that, Kuranaga looked at the flying ape beside him.

"Flying Monkey~www.wuxiahere.com~ Bring up all those things."

"Yes!"

The flying ape quickly moved away from everyone's field of vision.

Then he quickly returned with a pile of things.

Because there were so many things, the flying monkey went back and forth three times, and successfully brought all the "things" that Kuranaga was referring to to Ogata and the others.

The "those things" that Kuranaga refers to are seven sets of chain mail.

"When the lord goes out hunting, he basically sets off in the morning and returns to the city in the evening. The guards have to follow him on the wild for a full day."

Cang Yong said in a deep voice.

"If all the staff were to wear chain mail, in less than half a day, all the guards would be too tired to stand."

"So under the lord's permission, the guards don't wear chain mail when guarding the lord while going out hunting."
