Although Hanbei is old, his steps are still solid and powerful.
Judging from the way Hanbei walks, he doesn't look like a gray-haired old man at all.
Outside the Sakakihara Kenkan, there is a small stream flowing through.
Sakakihara Hanbei led Ogata directly to the creek.
"Ogata..."
Hanbei looked at the clear water and said to Ogata seriously:
"I've heard the rumors about your duel with Yuan Shan."
"You can tie with Ishikawa Kenkan's Toyama - I'm very proud."
"As a teacher, nothing makes me happier than seeing my disciples achieve such tremendous growth."
As soon as Hanbei finished speaking, Oconon quickly bowed respectfully and said:
"Master, thank you for your compliment."
"but--"
However, Hanbei suddenly changed the subject.
"Ogata, I want to remind you now."
"You have great potential and work hard. One day, your swordsmanship will reach a higher level."
"A sword is a tool whose sole purpose is to kill."
"Swordsmanship is a technique specifically used to kill people."
"But you should not draw your sword out of its sheath unless absolutely necessary, let alone hurt others at will."
"Ogata, you have to remember - violence cannot solve any problems."
"I don't know why you decided to fight Yuanshan."
"If the confrontation between the two of you broke out due to a dispute, I hope Ogata that you can remain calm and restrained when encountering such a thing from now on."
"What can be solved with the tongue can never be solved with the sword."
As soon as Hanbei finished speaking, Ogon said helplessly in his heart:
——Master... the situation that night was such that it was completely impossible to do anything without using the knife...
On the night of the duel with Toyama, Ogata and Toyama were already in a state of having to use their arrows. It was impossible for them to put down their swords in a non-violent way.
However, Ogata did not refute Hanbei's words just now.
Instead, he quickly bowed again:
"Yes! Thank you Master for your teaching!"
Rather than standing here and listening to Hanbei's teachings, Ogata wanted to quickly go back to the sword hall to practice his sword.
So I didn't make any excuses, and just casually said "Thank you, Master", perfunctorily trying to end the lecture as soon as possible.
…
…
After returning to the dojo, Ogata did not immediately pick up the wooden sword and join the training of his brothers.
Instead, he silently walked to a corner of the dojo.
He planned to use all the 2 skill points he still had before starting today's training.
Until now, Ogata is still reflecting on the battle he had with Toyama a while ago.
The more Ogata thought about it, the more he realized how bad his mistake was in not using up his skill points in time during the battle with Toyama a while ago.
At the same time, the more I think about it, the more I realize that it is a good idea to use skill points sparingly, but when it comes time to use skill points, you still have to use them decisively and in a timely manner.
Previously, Ogata felt that skill points were very valuable, so he saved every skill point and planned to wait until he had the opportunity to use it later.
But after experiencing the two rounds of battles with Toyama, Ogata also began to reflect on his own practice of saving skill points.
Ogata realized that he didn't seem to need to save skill points.
Just spend every skill point where you will never lose money.
Ogata thought about it and found that the most cost-effective place at this stage, where he would definitely not lose money by spending his skill points, was to improve his personal attributes.
Use all your skill points on your own personal attributes, maximize your personal attributes, and create a superhuman body.
With a body like a vice-superman, you don't even need any sword skills. You can defeat all enemies with just ordinary slashes.
If in the recent battle with Toyama, Ogata had not foolishly saved up skill points without spending them, but had used all the skill points to improve his personal attributes before the battle, then the final result might have been
It’s different.
The more Ogata thought about it these days, the more he felt that his idea made sense.
So until today, Ogata has finally made up his mind - he will use most of his skill points now and in the future to improve his personal attributes.
As long as the personal attributes are improved, even if all sword skills are at the elementary level, you can still defeat your opponent with your powerful physical functions.
After standing in the corner of the dojo, Ogata called out the system.
——Add 1 point to your agility!
[Ding! Agility +1]
[Current agility value: 8 points]
[Currently remaining skill points: 1 point]
Ogata plans to focus his last two skill points on agility and reflexes.
After experiencing so many battles, Ogata has already deeply understood the importance of agility and reflexes in combat.
After the system tone fell, Ogata immediately felt that his body became lighter and more flexible.
Ogata turned off the system, weighed his feet, opened his fists, and felt his body becoming lighter.
Just when Ogata was excited that he was one step closer to becoming a "Superman", he suddenly discovered something strange...
"Something... strange..." Ogata looked at his open palms and frowned unconsciously.
Although Ogata did feel that after adding the points, his body became lighter and more flexible.
But... Ogata felt that the "lightness" he had just felt was worse than the "lightness" he had when he upgraded from 5 points of agility to 6 points of agility...
After upgrading agility from 7 points to 8 points, the improvement brought to Ogata was not as great as the improvement brought to him by upgrading 5 points from 5 points to 6 points...
--Could it be that?!
Ogata suddenly thought of a possibility.
In order to verify the possibility that he had just thought of, Ogata hurriedly reopened the system, and then spent the last remaining point on "reflex nerves".
[Ding! Reflex nerve +1]
[Current reflex nerve value: 8 points]
[Currently remaining skill points: 0 points]
It was the same feeling that Ogata had when his reflex nerves were raised for the first time. Ogata felt that his ears and eyes became clearer.
But this "sense of clarity" is worse than the "sense of clarity" brought to Ogata after raising the "Reflex Nerve" points before...
——As expected...!
Ogata punched the wooden wall next to him angrily.
Ogata feels very depressed now.
Because his "Superman Plan" of "using all skill points to improve personal attributes" ended as soon as it started...
Ogata figured out the rules for adding points to personal attributes in this system.
By using all the skill points to improve personal attributes, theoretically speaking, Ogata can indeed become a superman who can "withstand a hundred cauldrons".
But this requires spending countless skill points to reach this state...
Because the characteristic of adding points to this personal attribute is that the higher the personal attribute value, the less the physical function of a person will be improved after adding points.
Originally, Ogata mistakenly believed that every improvement in personal attributes brought the same improvement to him.
But just now, after focusing his last two remaining skills on agility and reflex nerve damage, Ogata was shocked to realize that this was not the case at all.
When the attribute value is still very low, every additional skill point can indeed greatly improve Ogata's physical functions.
However, as the attribute values continue to increase, the increase brought by each additional skill point to Ogata will continue to decrease.
In other words - the higher the value of a certain attribute, the smaller the increase that adding points to this attribute will bring to Ogata.
The increase brought to Ogata from 10 points of agility to 15 points is definitely not as high as the increase brought to Ogata from 5 points to 10 points of agility.
To put it simply, the cost-effectiveness of adding points to personal attribute values will continue to decrease...
"Tsk..."
Ogata scratched his hair in frustration.
Ogata now understands what it feels like to "fail at the very beginning of the plan."
The idea that "as long as the personal attribute value is high, everything will be fine" is completely bankrupt at this time.
