I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

I just decided not to be a person who saves skill points, but to add all the current and future skill points to my personal attributes to make myself a superman. In the future, I can defeat the enemy with ordinary slashing, but the result is only over In a few minutes, the cold reality told Ogata that even if he increased his agility to 10,000 points, he still couldn't become a superman.

The system's characteristic of "the higher the personal attribute value, the lower the increase after adding points", directly limits the upper limit of Ogata, and it is impossible to become a person who can "resist a hundred tripods" and "jump with one jump". Thirty feet tall" Superman.

After scratching his hair and feeling annoyed for a while, Ogata began to reorganize his thoughts.

——Okay... Now let's sort out all the characteristics of the system that are currently known...

——Don’t spend the points on sword skills, but spend all the points on personal attributes... This method is no longer feasible...

——After my personal attribute value becomes very high, the price/performance ratio of adding points to it will become extremely low...

——But my current attribute values ​​are still very low, and the cost performance of spending points on them is still very high.

——So now it is worth spending points on personal attribute values.

——I have figured out some of the characteristics of this system...

——The level of each sword skill is still very important!

——Compared with improving personal attribute values, which will keep getting lower and lower in cost performance, the cost performance of upgrading sword skill levels should always be high!

——So after increasing the personal attribute value, you have to focus on adding points to the level of each sword skill...

——When the personal attribute value is still very low, it will be very worthwhile to spend skill points on the improvement of personal attribute value.

——After the personal attribute value becomes higher, the importance of the sword skill level will increase linearly...

——So at the moment when the value of each personal attribute value is very low, my focus on adding points is "personal attribute value".

——After that, slowly shift the center of gravity to the "sword skill level"...

After sorting out all the currently known features of the system, Ogata rearranged a new "addition plan".

But after sorting out a new "point addition plan", a new doubt emerged in Ogata's mind.

——As long as the level of the martial arts genre increases by a certain level, I can get 2 skill points...

——Then can I learn 100 martial arts styles in one go?

——After I have learned all the swordsmanship schools such as Ito Ichidou-style and Katori Shinto-style, then can I keep brushing skill points?

——When the level of each genre is still low, it is very convenient to upgrade.

——As long as I can learn 100 styles of martial arts, and after each style reaches level 5, I will immediately switch to a new style to practice, won’t I be able to easily accumulate hundreds of skill points...?

——Using these hundreds of skill points to support the skills of certain genres, I can instantly become the strongest swordsman in the world...

——But... since this system can limit the growth of my body functions...

——The system is very likely to have extremely high restrictions on the practice of "relying on learning various martial arts genres to earn skill points"...

Ogata bowed his head and thought for a long time.

In the end, he seemed to give up thinking, and sighed lightly.

—Forget it, don’t want to.

——I'm thinking about it here, and I can't think of what kind of restrictions this system will impose on me.

——When I have the opportunity to learn a new style of swordsmanship in the future, I will slowly experiment with what restrictions the system will give me.

After deciding to temporarily put aside thinking about the various functions and limitations of the system, Ogata picked up the wooden knife and walked slowly into the center of the dojo, ready to start today's practice.

...

...

When Ogata started today's practice——

Yuan Shan strode towards his house in stride.

Unlike Ogata whose annual salary is only 50 shi, Yuanshan's annual salary has a full 250 shi.

This level of annual salary is enough for a large family to live a decent life.

Because the annual salary is five times that of Ogata's, Toyama's family is far more grand than Ogata's.

Opening the porch, Yuan Shan saw a young girl kneeling respectfully in front of the door.

"Welcome home!" the young girl said loudly.

"En." After Yuan Shan nodded indifferently, he handed the two long and short sabers around his waist to the young woman.

And this young woman stood up after receiving the saber from Yuan Shan, and walked towards the knife holder in the house with small steps.

This young girl is Yuan Shan's wife, Ah Shi, whom he married half a year ago.

Yuan Shan doesn't like his wife very much.

There are many reasons for dislike.

The first reason: Yuan Shan's father forcibly arranged the marriage between Yuan Shan and Ah Shi.

Ah Shi is the daughter of an old friend of Yuan Shan's father who is a businessman.

Yuan Shan had a marriage contract with Ah Shi under the arrangement of his father since he was very young.

Since Yuan Shan was a child, he didn't have a good impression of his wife who was married with his fingertips.

The second reason is that Yuan Shan doesn't appreciate his wife's character very much.

Ash's guts are really too small.

I belong to the kind of people who are not willing to take any risks and just want to live in peace.

It's okay to be timid, Ah Shi is still stupid.

Ah Shi's kind of stupidity is not the kind of stupidity with insufficient intelligence.

It's the kind of stupidity that wants to solve any problem with money.

Ah Shi's father was a wealthy businessman.

Maybe it was influenced by his father. No matter what problems Ah Shi encounters, he always wants to use money to solve them.

Ah Shi once did an absurd thing, which left a deep impression on Yuan Shan until now.

Ah Shi's father once participated in a private calligraphy meeting.

Everyone discusses and competes in calligraphy—this is the content of this calligraphy meeting.

But who would have thought that Ah Shi, in order to let his father win, even went to bribe the organizer of this calligraphy meeting with money.

After her father found out about this, he scolded Ah Shi harshly, telling Ah Shi not to do such absurd things again.

As for whether Ah Shi has listened to her father's teachings, Yuan Shan doesn't know.

Apart from being a bit stupid, Ah Shi has no other shortcomings. She is pretty and she is diligent in doing housework.

Taking off the straw sandals and tabi socks, Toyama strode into the house.

After sitting carelessly on the tatami, Toyama shouted:

"Bring the wine!"

As soon as Yuan Shan finished speaking, Ah Shi quickly brought a small pot of sake and a wine glass.

After returning home, he had a few sips of drinks - this is Yuan Shan's habit.

While Yuan Shan was sipping wine, Ah Shi quietly knelt beside him.

In the past, Ah Shi would just watch Yuan Shan drink quietly, and wait for Yuan Shan to drink to his heart's content before taking away the wine and the glass.

But Ash is not like that today.

Kneeling beside Yuan Shan, Ah Shi seemed to have something to say to Yuan Shan, hesitant to speak.

It wasn't until Yuan Shan almost drank the wine in the bottle that Ah Shi finally mustered up the courage to ask Yuan Shan:

"Danna, I heard today...you had a duel with Ogata Itsuki from the Sakakibara Sword Gym a few days ago... May I ask if this is true?"

"Oh, this matter." Yuan Shan replied in a flat tone while continuing to pour wine into the glass in his hand.

Toyama naturally knew about the confrontation between him and Ogata, and it went viral in these days.

Although this incident is not something to brag about, it is also not something that can be embarrassing to let others know.

So Yuan Shan let this matter go viral.

"That's right." Toyama said bluntly, "That rumor is absolutely true. A few days ago, I fought 2 matches with Ogata from the Sakakibara Sword Gym. I won the 1st match. As for the 2nd match ...Although we were interrupted by the sudden concentricity in the end, we are indeed tied."

"Is that Ogata so strong..." Ash murmured, "I remember that the strongest among all the disciples in the Sakakibara Sword Gym, isn't that Mikami..."

"Heh..." Toyama sneered, "That Mikami is just the strongest in the Sakakibara Sword Gym."

"He used to be the strongest in Sakakibara Sword Gym, but it doesn't mean he will always be the strongest."

"Swordsmanship is a kind of skill that if you don't pay attention, your level will be left far behind."

"I will probably have a third match with that Ogata soon."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"That Ogata is very strong. According to my guess, if there are no accidents, he should be able to become the chief of the upcoming competition in the Sakakibara Sword Gym."

"I know the rules of the Sakakibara Sword Gym."

"After Ogata becomes the chief of the competition in the museum, he will have to participate in the competition of offering sacrifices to the gods."

"This year I am the one who will represent the Ishikawa Sword Academy in the competition for offering sacrifices to the gods."

"So—I'll be able to fight that Ogata again soon!"

Speaking of this, Yuan Shan's pupils began to shoot out a captivating light.

"Next time, I will definitely defeat Ogata Itsuki beautifully!"

"...But..." Ah Shi put on a cautious attitude, "Danna... are you really sure to defeat that Ogata?"
