This time, unlike just now, Goro Satoma couldn't wait to come on stage.
After several seconds, a tall and thin man walked up to the dojo with a sullen face, picked up the wooden knife that had been used by Hirano and Sato, and then fell to the ground when the two of them fainted, and said:
"Shimada Sangoro, come forward!"
Ogata looked at the wooden sword in Shimada Sangoro's hand.
"Do you want a wooden knife instead?"
"This wooden sword is not broken, why do you need to replace it?" Shimada Sangoro raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled.
"I'm just worried that after you all lose to me, you will blame the wooden sword in your hand."
Ogata shrugged.
"You also know that there are always people who don't know what 'shame' is. After losing to others, they always like to find various reasons for their loss."
"The wooden sword is innocent. After losing to me, please don't give yourself any questions like 'My wooden sword is heavier than Ogata's wooden sword', 'My wooden sword's center of gravity is completely wrong', 'This wooden sword is cursed'
, so everyone who has used this knife has lost' and other reasons."
As soon as Ogata finished speaking, Shimada Sangoro roared:
"You bastard!! Don't be so arrogant!!"
"I'm just stating a fact." Ogata said calmly.
"Hmph! After you are defeated by me, let's see if you can still be so arrogant!"
Shimada Sangoro raised the wooden sword in his hand and took the middle stance.
At almost the same time, Ogata and Shimada Sangoro raised their swords and got into stance.
The moment the two of them got into their stances, Shimada Sangoro suddenly took a step forward, letting out an astonishing shout while launching a fierce attack on Ogata.
In the two battles just now, Shimada Sangoro had already seen that Ogata's sword speed was very fast. If he foolishly waited for Ogata to attack, he would only be at a disadvantage.
Therefore, Shimada Sangoro decided to use a completely different strategy from Hirano and Sato in the previous two rounds - after the battle began, he launched a fierce attack on Ogata, leaving Ogata without a chance to breathe.
Shimada Sangoro was actually gambling.
Ogata is not good at defense or dodge.
It's a pity that Shimada Sangoro made a wrong bet.
…
…
——It’s so slow.
Looking at the wooden sword in Shimada Sangoro's hand that kept attacking various parts of his body, Ogata silently lamented Shimada Sangoro's speed in his heart.
In the eyes of others, Shimada Sangoro's sword speed may be very fast, so fast that only a little afterimage can be seen.
But in Ogata's eyes, this series of movements by Shimada Sangoro were no different from slow motion.
Some time has passed since we came to the Edo period.
During this period of time, Ogata has fought countless games with people.
After so many competitions, Ogata realized a truth - those who are agile enough and react quickly enough can really take advantage of the battle.
Agile enough + quick reaction speed = dodge ability that can make every enemy attack miss.
The increase in agility value can make Ogata's sword speed faster.
The increased sword speed allows Ogata's sword to quickly hit the enemy, and the enemy does not realize that Ogata has drawn the sword until he is hit.
Therefore, sufficient agility also equals super strong attack power.
Ogata's two attributes of agility and reflexes have now reached 8 points.
Although Ogata doesn't know what his current level is when looking at the whole of Japan, it is more than enough to deal with someone like Shimada Sangoro.
Ogata's eyes could clearly see the sword path of every attack by Shimada Sangoro.
Ogata's feet can quickly and perfectly dodge every attack from Shimada Sangoro.
The winner has been decided.
After dodging more than a dozen of Shimada Sangoro's slashes in one breath, Ogata took advantage of the moment when Shimada paused the attack to adjust his breathing, and aimed directly at Shimada Sangoro's chest, using Bird Stab.
.
Although Shimada Sangoro, who was stabbed to the ground, did not faint directly like Hirano and Sato in the previous two rounds, his energy and blood surged and he temporarily lost his fighting ability.
After stabbing Shimada Sangoro to death, Ogata still didn't listen to the system sound in his mind. He turned his head and looked at the people at the edge of the dojo.
"Next."
This time, it took nearly 10 seconds before another person came out of the queue with a sullen face and walked slowly in front of Ogata...
…
…
"Well--!"
A shorter Ishikawa Kenkan disciple rolled like a ball to the edge of the dojo and finally stopped after bumping into several people kneeling here.
"Ha ha ha ha……"
While Ogata was breathing heavily, he took back the wooden sword that he had just thrust forward.
Then he whispered at a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"The ninth..."
The person who was directly knocked out of the field by Ogata just now was Ogata's 9th opponent, and also Ogata's 9th loser.
Starting from the first round with Ichiro Hirano, Ogata has played 9 consecutive rounds and defeated 9 disciples of Ishikawa Kenkan.
Although Ogata defeated each of his opponents with one blow, after fighting for 9 consecutive games, Ogata could not help but feel that his physical strength was a little lacking.
After all, the series of battles that Ogata had today were not the kind of friendly discussions that he usually had with his brothers at the Sakakibara Sword Hall.
It's a battle where if you are not careful, you are very likely to be injured or die.
Every opponent of Ogata fought with the belief that even if Ogata was seriously injured or killed directly, there would be no problem.
Therefore, Ogata had to tighten every nerve in himself and not dare to be careless in the slightest.
Having kept his nerves tense and fought nine battles in a row, Ogata had begun to feel that his spirit was getting a little tired and his concentration was beginning to lose some focus.
But the battle is not over yet.
There is another person Ogata must face off who is not on the field.
Ogata kept waiting for the guy to take the initiative.
But even now that Ogata has defeated nine of his brothers, that guy is still hiding on the edge of the dojo, not daring to go up.
Since the guy was so useless, Ogata could only use some rough methods to help the guy make up his mind to fight Ogata.
Ogata turned his head again and looked at the people kneeling at the edge of the dojo.
The number of people who can still kneel and sit properly on the edge of the dojo has decreased by nearly a quarter.
Now no one dares to fight Ogata anymore.
In the eyes of most people today - Ogata's heroic appearance of beating 9 people in a row and winning 9 rounds in a row is like being possessed by Hachiman Daimyojin.
Ogata's powerful skills have already broken the courage of most people present.
No one dares to go on the court again to ask for a beating.
Wherever Ogata's eyes moved, the people caught by his eyes would quickly lower their heads, not daring to meet Ogata's eyes.
