I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Cang Yong turned around and looked at Fei Yuan with a serious face.

"...Flying Monkey, how much do you know about this Ogata Yishi?"

"My lord, I only found out about this person today. So I don't know much about this person."

"However - after I learned that this person broke into the Ishikawa Sword Gym alone, I went to check some information about this person."

"I learned that this person will compete with Toyama Renrou from the Ishikawa Sword Gym in the courtyard of Izumo Taisha one month later."

"Toyama Renrou...a competition to worship the gods..." Cang Yong muttered.

As the elder of the Hirose clan, Kuranaga certainly knew what the god-sacrificing contest was.

Many senior officials in their domain are very interested in this once-a-year contest between the Sakakibara Sword Gym and the Ishikawa Sword Gym.

Every year, many dignitaries from their Hirose Domain go to watch the battle.

But Cang Yong lacked interest in this competition of offering sacrifices to the gods.

Since the establishment of the God Worship Competition, Cang Yong has never been to this famous swordsmanship competition in their domain.

Kuranaga has also heard about the name of Toyama Renrou.

According to the rumors that Kurangaga received before, this Toyama Renrou seems to be a rare talented swordsman in the Ishikawa Kenkan in ten years.

Cang Yong always scoffed at such rumors.

Cang Yong, who has seen many things in the world, knows a truth, that is - the martial arts of the samurai of their Hirose Clan are not outstanding.

Toyama, who is outstanding in martial arts in the Ishikawa Sword Gym, might be mediocre in all of Japan.

Touting Yuan Shan as a once-in-a-ten-year genius in the Ishikawa Kenkan, in Cang Yong's eyes, it is similar to a group of monkeys who have never seen a tiger, calling the strongest monkey in their group " The most powerful existence in the forest.

Therefore, Cang Yong didn't take the rumor that "Yuan Shan is a genius" at all.

After stuffing the term "sacrifice competition" in his mouth for a long time, Cang Yong said again:

"Flying Ape, when will this year's competition for the gods be held?"

"It's next month, but the date hasn't been set yet!"

"When the date is set, notify me immediately!"

"Yes!"

"Also—tomorrow...no, you leave now! Go and check that Ogata Yasushi for me."

"From who his parents are to his daily life, I want to know everything about him."

"Yes!"

...

...

the next day—

In the early hours of the morning—

Slowly open your eyes.

The first thing that caught Ogata's eyes was the unfamiliar ceiling.

"I slept so soundly..."

Ogata sighed with emotion in a low voice, lifted the quilt covering his body, and sat up slowly.

Last night, after leaving the Ishikawa Sword Gym, Obi went straight back to the Sakakibara Sword Gym to report his safety.

After returning to the Sakakibara Sword Gym to report safety, Ogata originally wanted to go to the Liuya.

But the feeling of fatigue that seemed to overwhelm Ogata's body finally made Ogata give up the idea of ​​going to Ruiya again.

Because he really didn't have the strength to go home, Ogata spent the night directly in the dojo of Sakakibara Sword Gym last night.

Originally, their Sakakibara Sword Gym did not allow others to stay overnight in the Gym.

Not even the disciples in the sword hall.

But yesterday was a special situation after all, so Hanbei generously lent his Sakakibara Sword Gym to Ogata, so that Ogata could have a good night's rest in the Gym.

At the same time, Hanbei also kindly lent Ogata a set of bedding and pillows, so that Ogata would not sleep on the cold wooden floor.

Because of the exhaustion of the body, he lay on the quilt and closed his eyes, and the next second later, Xu conveniently fell asleep.

Ogata dared to use his own life to guarantee that last night was definitely his since coming to the Edo period,

The best night's sleep.

Sleep till dawn. I didn't even have a dream on the way.

He sat up, and when his chaotic brain gradually regained clarity due to just waking up, Xu stood up quickly.

After neatly stacking the quilt that his master lent him last night, Xu Bian slowly walked towards the small courtyard connected to the dojo.

There is a small courtyard connected to the east of the dojo of their Sakakibara Sword Gym.

Sometimes when he was tired from practicing swordsmanship, Xu Fang would sit by the edge of this small courtyard with his brothers to enjoy the breeze.

Slowly walking out of the dojo and into the courtyard, the bright sunlight immediately rushed towards Ogata's face like a waterfall.

Because his eyes were not used to sunlight, Ogata couldn't help but lower his eyelids and narrowed his eyes slightly.

Use your eyelashes to filter the sun.

After his eyes got used to the sunlight a little bit, Ogata opened his eyes again.

Today is a sunny day that can instantly improve people's mood.

The loose white clouds like cotton cover the mild sunlight more softly, often accompanied by a gust of breeze.

When the breeze blew, the tops of the small trees in the courtyard shook their waists obediently.

"What a beautiful day..."

Speaking of this, Ogata paused.

Then there was a weeping smile on his face.

"It's a pity that I have to go to work today..."

Thinking about going to work today, Ogata's mood, which was originally good because of the pleasant weather, suddenly became heavy.

"Ah, yes..."

Ogata muttered.

"I almost forgot to check what my personal system interface looks like now..."

Yesterday, Ogata had no time to check his personal system interface.

When fighting the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Gym, Ogata had no time to listen to the system sound in his head because of his high concentration.

So when he was fighting with the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Gym yesterday, how many experience points he gained after defeating - Ogata didn't know at all.

Ogata silently said "system" a few times in his heart, and the familiar personal system interface appeared before Ogata's eyes.

[Name: Ogata Yishi]

[Level: LV10: 370/900]

[Personal attributes:

Strength: 5

Dexterity: 8

Reflexes: 8

Stamina: 5

Vitality: 5]

[Martial arts genre:

Sakakibara One Sword Style: 6 stages: 330/1500]

[Remaining skill points: 3 points]

[Sakakibara Ichidao Style (6 paragraphs):

Stair climbing: primary

Waterfall: Intermediate

Bird Thorn: Advanced

Dragon Tail: Elementary]

...

——I actually got so many experience points yesterday?

Looking at his personal system interface, Ogata couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

The series of battles yesterday actually increased Ogata's personal experience value by 550 points, and Sakakibara's experience value increased by 400 points.

Both Ogata's personal level and Sakakibara Ichidou's level were directly upgraded, and he got 3 skill points, which changed Ogata's skill point inventory from 0 to 3.

Looking at his experience bar, Ogata pondered for a while, then secretly said in his heart:

——It seems that the amount of experience gained is not only related to the strength of the opponent...

——It is also related to the opponent's "killing intent" towards me...

——Yesterday, all the disciples of the Ishikawa Sword Gym wanted to beat me into a cripple.

——After defeating this group of people who want to beat me into a cripple, the experience points I will gain will naturally be very high...

After Ogata defeated Itagaki who sexually harassed Ah Fu before, he speculated that the amount of experience gained is not only related to the strength of the opponent's ability, but also related to the opponent's "killing intent" towards him

But at that time, he was just guessing like this, not sure.

And now, Ogata is 100% sure - as long as the opponent has a strong killing intent, even if the opponent is weak, after defeating or killing him, Ogata can still gain quite a lot of experience points.
