I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

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.

After separating his attention from the question of "what factors affect the acquisition of experience points", Ogata focused on another place in the personal system interface-the experience bar of Sakakibara Ichidou.

Looking at Sakakibara's experience bar, a wry smile appeared on Ogata's face again.

After yesterday's fierce battle, Ogata's Sakakibara Ichidou style has successfully changed from 5th dan to 6th dan.

And to change the level of Sakakibara Ichidou from 6th tier to 7th tier, it needs a full - 1500 experience points.

The level of Sakakibara Ichidou has changed from 5th to 6th, and only 900 experience points are needed.

And changing from 6th tier to 7th tier required 1500 experience points.

The difficulty of upgrading has directly increased significantly.

——Does this system belong to the type where the higher the level, the harder it is to upgrade...

Ogata thought to himself.

——It doesn’t matter whether it’s a personal level or a martial art school level, if it’s all the higher the level, the harder it is to upgrade...

——Then the speed of upgrading in the future will probably become slower and slower...

After checking the personal system interface up and down several times, and after confirming that there was nothing else worth noting, Xu conveniently turned off his personal system interface.

At this moment, Ogata heard slight footsteps behind him.

Turning around, Okube saw his master, Hanbei Sakakibara, walking slowly towards him with his hands behind his back.

"Master, good morning."

"Well, Ogata, good morning to you too. How is it? How did you sleep last night?"

"I slept soundly. I haven't had such a good sleep in a long time."

What Ogata said was true, without any exaggeration.

The sleep last night was indeed a sweet sleep that Ogata hadn't slept in for a long time.

"Yeah. Just sleep soundly. Ogata, come with me."

"... Huh?" Ogata tilted his head, "Master, where are you going?"

"Go to my house."

"Your home? Yes, but I still have to go to work... Ah, no, I still have work to do as a warehouse officer."

Ogata almost blurted out the extremely modern word "go to work".

Fortunately, even though Ogata discovered his slip of the tongue, he corrected it in time.

"You don't have to go to the feudal hall today." Hanbei said in a calm tone, "I have asked for leave for you. You can take a good rest today."

"Ask for leave?"

"Yes. I'm also the owner of the Sakakibara Sword Gym, and I have some friends who are high-ranking officials in the feudal clan. Asking for a leave of absence is just a matter of little effort."

After saying that, Hanbei turned around and walked out of the dojo.

"Come on, Ogata."

Ogata, who felt a little confused in his head, followed Hanbei's footsteps in a daze.

"Master. Why are we going to your house?"

"...I want to give you something."

"Is it a treasured sword?" Ogata said in a half-joking tone.

"...It's something much more powerful than the treasured sword handed down from generation to generation. Just follow me."

...

...

Ogata walked one step behind Hanbei, walked out of the dojo, and walked towards a wooden house not far from the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

Hanbei lives alone in this wooden house.

Therefore, after opening the door and stepping into the porch, Xu Yi felt that the "breath of people" in this house, or the "breath of life" was very weak.

The atmosphere in this house gives people a cold feeling.

Pulling off the straw sandals on his feet, he took off the sword with its sheath on his left waist, and then held it with his right hand, stepping on the creaking wooden floor, Ogata followed Hanbei closely, entered a certain room.

Judging from the layout of this room, this should be Hanbei's room.

The layout of Hanbei's room is quite simple.

Just a few common and necessary furniture and objects.

"Ogata, sit down."

"Yes."

After Hanbei called Ogata to sit down, Ogata knelt obediently on the tatami in the room, and placed the sword on his right side.

After asking Ogata to sit down, Hanbei did not sit down with Ogata.

Instead, he walked slowly towards a small wooden cabinet placed in a corner of the room.

Hanbei opened the drawer at the bottom of the wooden cabinet, and Xu conveniently found that the drawer was full of Chinese books based on the Four Books and Five Classics.

Looking at the Chinese books in the drawer, Ogata couldn't help frowning slightly:

——The thing that the master said is more powerful than the treasured sword handed down from generation to generation, could it be this pile of Four Books and Five Classics...

The more Ogata thought about it, the more likely it was...

Because he felt that Ogata was too violent, he planned to give Ogata a set of Four Books and Five Classics, so that Ogata could receive the influence of the saint and cultivate his sentiments-Ogata felt that such a thing was not impossible.

Ogata was not interested in the Four Books and Five Classics.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether his master gave him this pile of Four Books and Five Classics, whether he should use this pile of Four Books and Five Classics as a table corner, or as a pillow, Hanbei took all the Chinese books in this drawer. move away.

Then he picked up a thread-bound book with a slightly yellowed cover that was placed at the bottom of the drawer.

Because of the angle, Ogata couldn't see what the cover of the book was.

Hanbei held the book and walked slowly back to Ogata.

Kneeling in front of Ogata, placed the book on the tatami, and pushed it in the direction of Ogata.

Only then did Ogata finally see the cover of the book clearly.

There are only 5 Chinese characters on the cover of this book.

"Wuwo...two-sword style...?" Oufang showed doubts, and read out the five Chinese characters on the cover of this book word by word.

"This is the thing I told you just now that is more powerful than the treasured sword handed down from generation to generation, and it is also something I want to give you."

"...Master, what is this...?" Although he had roughly guessed what the book was about, Ogata still chose to ask Hanbei for confirmation.

"In this book, there are records of the two-sword swordsmanship—all the sword skills of Wuwo's ​​two-swords style."

"Master, what exactly is Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship?" Ogata's face became more and more suspicious, "Why do you have a book teaching Dual Swordsmanship?"

"... Sigh." Hanbei sighed softly, "How did this book come about... It's a long story."

"Ogata, you should know my brother, right?"

"Of course I know." Ogata replied without thinking.

Sakakibara Hanbei's elder brother - Sakakihara Denichiro, the founder of Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu.

Not long after creating the genre of Sakakibara Ichidou, he unfortunately died of illness.

It is said that when Denichiro was still alive, he was a well-known swordsman, and even had the title of "Izumo Warrior".
