Chapter 61 Acquired! Two Swords without Self! (Part 2)
However, Ogata quickly adjusted his mentality.
Since other subsequent sword skills can only be unlocked after the level of Wuwo Swordsman style is increased, then it is enough to slowly increase the level.
Moreover - the three sword skills currently available in the Muga Nito style are also quite trial skills, so the slight sense of loss in Ogata's heart has been made up for.
The unlockable sword skills currently available in Wuwo Sword Style are - Source's Breath, Step Step, and Blade Return.
Ogata recalled the introduction to these three sword techniques that he had just read in the book "Muga Two Swordsman Style".
The Breath of the Source can help people improve their concentration, and according to the introduction in the book, the Breath of the Source is a shortcut to entering the state that sounds quite powerful - the "state of selflessness".
The step step is a footwork specially designed for combat. As long as you can use the step step skillfully, you can more easily avoid the enemy's attack and get close to the enemy.
Blade return is a special skill that can be used to block the enemy's attack, which is regarded as a defensive skill.
Looking at these three skills to be unlocked, Ogata hesitated for a while.
These three skills all seem to be quite practical.
Which one should be unlocked first? Regarding this question, Ogata was really hesitant.
It wasn't until his butt hurt from sitting that Ogata finally made his decision.
——Unlock "Breath of Source" and "Blade Return"!
[Ding! Spend 1 skill point to unlock "Breath of Source". The current level of "Breath of Source" is: First Stage]
[Currently remaining skill points: 1 point]
[Ding! Spend 1 skill point to unlock "Blade Return". The current "Blade Return" level is: First Stage]
[Currently remaining skill points: 0 points]
In an instant, Ogata became a pauper with 0 skill points again.
It hurts, but compared with the joy I get after unlocking the two-sword swordsmanship of "Mugo Two-sword Style" and acquiring two very practical sword skills, this small feeling of distress is nothing to mention.
Although the step step is also a very practical skill, in Ogata's eyes, the step step is still inferior to the blade return.
So Ogata decided to unlock Blade Return first and wait until he has skill points later.
"alright……"
Ogata let out a long breath, and then whispered in a low voice that only he could hear clearly:
"The next step... is to slowly wait for the brothers and sisters to get off work..."
Ogata's senior brothers also go to the feudal hall to perform their duties during the day.
Therefore, only when it is almost dusk and everyone has gone off work, the Sakakihara Kenkan gradually becomes lively.
"I really want to find someone to test my new sword skills quickly..."
After muttering like this, Oufang leaned back, leaning against the wall behind him, taking a nap, catching up on his sleep, and waiting for dusk to fall.
…
…
When the sky started to turn yellow and dark, Ogami couldn't wait to come to Sakakibara Sword Hall.
Because it is still a little early, there are not many people in the dojo now.
But one of Ogata's acquaintances was among them.
"Mikami-senpai!"
With a smile on his face, Ogata walked towards this senior brother whom he respected very much.
"Oh! Ogata, you're here. I heard that the master took a day off for you today. How about it? How is your body recovering after taking a day's rest?"
"After waking up this morning, I have recovered as before. But it's you, Mikami-senpai." Ogata pointed to the right side of his face, "Is your face okay?"
The right side of Mikami's face is still a little swollen today.
"Hahaha!" Mikami laughed heartily a few times, "Don't worry, although it still hurts a little, it won't be a problem anymore."
I don’t know if it’s because of Mikami’s naturally amazing resilience, but Mikami’s cheeks that were swollen yesterday have faded a lot now.
Looking at Mikami's lively appearance, Mikami must have really recovered well. He can even joke with Ogata and come to the dojo to practice swordsmanship.
"Ogata, I heard all this morning. You went to the Ishikawa Sword Hall and made a big fuss yesterday, right?"
Mikami was in a coma last night, so it wasn't until he woke up this morning that he learned about Ogata's feat yesterday from other people.
Without waiting for any response from Ogata, Mikami sighed softly, and then continued:
"Now that this matter has passed, I won't say anything more."
"What kind of conflict do you have with that distant mountain? This is your private matter, so I won't ask any more questions."
"I only want to mention one thing - Ogata, you must pay more attention in the future. That Toyama has a deep conflict with you. After you made a big fuss at the Ishikawa sword hall last night, his conflict with you
It’s deeper.”
"I just heard from the master that he has successfully reached a consensus with Ishikawa Hyōma, the owner of the Ishikawa Sword Hall, today. After yesterday's series of disturbances, both parties have taken a step back and will not make things worse."
"We and Ishikawa Kenkan each pay each other a little bit of money, so let's forget about yesterday's series of disturbances."
"Hyōma Ishikawa also told the master personally - he has strictly prohibited the disciples led by Toyama from causing trouble to our Sakakihara Sword Hall, especially you."
"However - although the Ishikawa army has issued strict orders, whether Toyama will comply with them or not is another matter."
"So Ogata, you must be careful in the future."
"While you were walking on the street and you weren't paying attention, he rushed over and chopped you with a knife - Judging from Yuan Shan's violent temper, he is really capable of doing such a thing."
"It's not just everyday that you have to be careful about."
"Be even more careful about the God Sacrifice Competition in a month's time!"
"This time in the God Sacrifice Competition, you will compete with that distant mountain!"
"It's very likely that Yuanshan will deliberately hit you hard in the God Sacrifice Competition!"
"In short - Ogata, please be careful in the following days."
Mikami patted Ogata on the shoulder.
"If you have any difficulties or need help, you can feel free to come to Senior Brother."
"Senior brother, I can help you as much as I can."
"Yes." Ogata smiled, "If I really encounter a crisis in the future that requires your help, Senior Brother Mikami, I will 'send' you to my heart's content."
"Hahaha! Then I quite welcome your 'mission' to me!"
Ogata looked around.
"By the way, where is the master? Master, isn't he in the sword hall?"
"Master, he was still here just now. After telling us the entire process and results of his visit to the Ishikawa Sword Hall today and the negotiation with that Ishikawa soldier, he went home."
"He said he was exhausted, so he didn't come to the dojo today to watch us practice swordsmanship."
After saying that, Mikami moved his shoulders.
"Ogata, let's not talk about this for now. Are you free now?"
"If you have time, let's discuss it."
"I happen to be looking for someone to discuss with."
"I lay in bed for a long time today, and I feel that the muscles in my body are all stiff. Now I desperately want someone with whom I can spar and stretch my muscles."
"Oh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows, "Mikami-senpai, what a coincidence, I happen to be looking for a partner to spar with."
