I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

After simply washing his face a few times, Xu went back to the dojo.

When Ogata ran out of the dojo to wash his face, a new round of competition had already started in the dojo.

—Where should I sit...

Just when Ogata was worrying about where he should sit, an extremely familiar voice came into his ears:

"Senior, here."

Ogata followed the reputation.

The person who spoke was the younger brother who had competed with Ogata just now - Bunshiro Makino.

There was an empty seat next to Makino.

Ogata walked quickly, then knelt and sat beside Makino.

Just like the sword fight just now - the feeling of familiarity and strangeness reappeared.

Before crossing over, Ogata had never tried kneeling.

But at this time, like breathing, he completed the kneeling posture beside Makino easily and naturally.

Even Ogata was no stranger to this familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.

"how?"

After kneeling beside Makino, Xu Fang smiled and asked Makino:

"Does your chest still hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt anymore."

Makino rubbed his chest, continued to smile and said:

"Thanks to Senior's mercy, I won't feel any pain after a little rest."

When he was fighting with Makino just now, Ogata held back his strength in time so as not to hurt Makino.

If the wooden sword had been firmly cut on Makino's chest, then Makino might not be able to kneel and sit beside Ogata, chatting with Ogata as he is now.

Makino Bunshiro, one of Ogata Itsuki's few friends, is one year younger than Ogata.

He studied Sakakibara Itto-ryu together with Ogata, but because Makino joined Sakakibara Hanbei later than Ogata, he is Ogata's descendant.

Because of the good relationship between the two, they always compete with each other like just now.

However, because Makino's swordsmanship is worse than Ogata's, in the sword fights with Ogata, it basically ends in Makino's defeat.

...

...

After the two brothers chatted briefly for a few words, they stopped talking.

Makino concentrated on watching the two senior brothers who were competing in the sword competition in the middle of the sword hall.

On the other hand, Ogata pretended to watch the competition while secretly studying the system in his brain.

After silently saying "system" a few times in his heart, a virtual screen appeared in front of him.

[Name: Ogata Yishi]

[Level: LV7: 570/600]

[Personal attributes:

Strength: 5

Dexterity: 5

Reflexes: 5

Stamina: 5

Vitality: 5]

[Martial arts genre:

Sakakibara One Sword Style: 3 stages: 420/500]

[Remaining skill points: 0 points]

[Sakakibara Ichidao Style (3 paragraphs):

Stair climbing: primary

Waterfall: Intermediate

Bird spines: primary

Dragon Tail: Elementary]

Simple and easy-to-understand personal attribute interface, clear at a glance.

It's just that the attribute value of this person makes Ogata want to complain.

——Strength, speed, reflexes, stamina, vitality, these 5 attributes are all 5 points, this attribute is too average...

After silently complaining about his personal combat power with an average of "5" in this attribute, Ogata began to seriously study the various items of this person's interface.

Ogata noticed that there was a small question mark at the end of some entries.

When Ogata focuses his attention on this small question mark, the question mark will turn into a virtual interface box, which will explain some basic information of the item.

For example, after Ogata focused his attention on the small question mark behind the "level", the small question mark became a virtual interface frame,

It explained the use of levels to Ogata in abbreviated sentences.

[Defeating or killing enemies will give you experience points. The stronger the defeated or killed enemies, the more experience points you will get. The current level is level 7, and you can get 1 skill point for each level up]

Pretty straightforward and easy to understand instructions.

——Skill points... What are the uses of skill points...

Ogata thought secretly, while moving his eyes, looking at the small question mark behind the item "remaining skill points".

[You can spend skill points to improve your personal attributes, or to increase the level of each skill in each martial arts genre]

[Each skill point spent can increase the ability value of a certain attribute by 1 point]

[Spend 1 skill point to unlock new skills of a certain martial arts genre]

[Spend 1 skill point to upgrade the unlocked skill from "primary" martial skill to "intermediate" martial skill, and spend 2 skill points to upgrade "intermediate" martial skill to "advanced" martial skill]

[Spend 4 skill points to upgrade "advanced" martial skills to "master level" martial skills, spend 8 skill points to upgrade "master level" martial skills to "grandmaster level" martial skills]

There are more explanations for this item, but it is also easier to understand.

——Martial skills...do you mean the latter ones...

Ogata moved his gaze to the end of the personal attribute interface.

At present, in this column of martial arts genres, there is only the martial arts genre of "Sakakibara Ichidou", which means that Ogata only knows this genre at present.

[Martial arts genre: When defeating or killing an enemy with the skills of a certain martial arts genre, the experience value of the martial arts genre can be increased, and the experience value can be upgraded after the experience value is full. The highest level of each martial art genre is 15, and each martial art genre can get 2 skill points. 】

After reading the explanation of this entry, Ogata remembered that when he was fighting with Makino just now, when he knocked down Makino with the dragon tail from Sakakibara Ichidou, he had indeed heard the words about Sakakibara Ichidou gaining experience points.

Ogata digested all the information he had just learned.

——The highest level of martial arts is 15, and the only martial skill I know, "Sakakibara Ichidou", is currently only 3... It seems that I still need to work hard and upgrade...

——The entry of "skill points" just now said: skill points can be used to upgrade the skill level of each martial arts genre.

——Sakakibara Ichidou only has 4 moves in total: Dragon Tail, Ascend the Tower, Bird Thorn, and Water Drop.

——Among these 4 tricks, "Shuiluo" has the highest level, which is the intermediate level.

——The other 3 strokes are primary.

——Oh, quite accurate. Both my physical memory and the memory in my mind tell me: the sword skill I am best at in Sakakibara Issou-ryu is "Waterfall".

——According to the description of the item "Skill Points" just now, I can spend 2 skill points to upgrade "Shuiluo" from intermediate to advanced.

——You can also spend 1 skill point to upgrade any one of the 3 moves "Bird Thorn", "Dragon Tail", and "Climbing the Tower" from primary to intermediate...

——Wow... It takes a dozen skill points to upgrade a certain sword skill from elementary to the highest master level...

——And my current skill point is...

- 0 o'clock...

——Skill points are quite precious...

——Skill points can be used not only to improve personal attributes, but also to improve the level of sword skills.

——It takes a lot of skill points to upgrade a certain sword skill to the highest level...

——If you want to increase my personal attribute value and turn me into a superman, you also need a lot of skill points...

After digesting all the information obtained from the research system just now, the only conclusion that Ogata came to was that skill points are very important, and every skill point should not be wasted.

...

...

"Senior, senior."

Makino, who was sitting next to Ogata, suddenly poked Ogata with his elbow.

"Makino, what are you doing?"

"Why do you have the nerve to ask me?" Makino cast a puzzled look at Ogata, "Senior, you are indeed a little distracted today. Didn't you hear the master calling you? It's your turn to go up to the sword again Yes. Your opponent is very strong this time, so be careful."
