Chapter 62 The Breath of the Source and Blade Retaliation
Ogata and Mikami stood opposite each other, both in mid-position.
When he unlocked the two major sword skills of the Mugo Duto style, "Breath of the Source" and "Blade Counterattack," Oubon felt like a memory was being forcibly inserted into his mind.
Although this memory was forced into Ogata's mind, Ogata did not feel any discomfort when this memory entered his mind.
This memory is exactly how to use "Breath of Source" and "Blade Counterattack".
"Hiss... ha..."
Ogata followed this memory and slowly adjusted his breathing.
As his breathing pattern slowly adjusted, Ogata really felt that his attention was slowly concentrating.
[Ding! Use "Breath of Source" to temporarily increase reflex nerves by 1 point]
[Current reflex nerve value: 9 points]
——Is this... the breath of the source...
Ogata thought secretly in his heart.
——The primary source of breathing can temporarily increase my reflex nerve value by 1 point after use...
——Then if I upgrade Breath of Source to Intermediate, Advanced, Master, or Grand Master levels, by how many points can my reflex nerves be temporarily increased?
——The book "The Two Swordsman of the Selfless Style" says that using the breath of the source is a shortcut to entering the realm of selflessness...
——Then...if I upgrade the Breath of Source to the highest level, the Grandmaster level, can I rely on the use of Breath of Source to freely enter the realm of selflessness...
Thoughts were swirling in Ogata's mind.
——Forget it...it’s better not to think so much now and concentrate on the discussion.
After getting rid of the extra thoughts and distracting thoughts in his mind, Ogata focused his whole body and mind on the current competition with Mikami.
Mikami moved his steps, constantly adjusting the position and distance between himself and Ogata, looking for the best time and position to attack.
In order not to reveal any flaws, Ogata kept his eyes fixed on Mikami, and at the same time, he kept his body facing Mikami at all times.
"drink!"
Mikami let out a loud shout, and then took the lead in attacking Ogata.
The sword technique used by Mikami is Bird Thorn.
Looking at the tip of the wooden sword that was getting larger and larger within his field of vision, Ogata narrowed his eyes slightly.
Then he shook the hands holding the knife.
Ogata's blade struck Mikami's tip accurately at a strange angle, causing Mikami's wooden sword to completely deviate from its original trajectory.
What Ogata used was another sword skill he had just unlocked today - Blade Back!
After using exquisite skills to block Mikami's wooden sword, Ogata aimed at Mikami's chest and used the Dragon's Tail of Sakakihara's Itto style.
However, because it was a sparring match, Ogata naturally clicked until he reached the point, and stopped when the blade of the wooden sword was only a fist away from Mikami's chest.
"Mikami-senpai." Ogata smiled at Mikami, "You lose."
"Ah, yes...I lost..." Mikami smiled bitterly, "Ogata, the way you blocked my stabbing just now was really beautiful."
[Ding! Use Sakakibara Itto-ryu·Dragon Tail to defeat the enemy]
[Acquire 40 points of personal experience, 40 experience points of Sakakibara's one-sword style, and 20 experience points of Wuga's two-sword style]
[Current personal level: LV10 (410/900)]
[Sakakihara Itto-ryu level: 6th Dan (370/1500)]
[Wuwo-sword style level: 1st stage (20/300)]
After the system sound in his mind fell, Ogata said in his heart:
——As expected... After using the martial arts of both schools to defeat the enemy, both schools can gain experience points.
——Which school of martial arts contributes more to defeating the enemy, which school can gain more experience points in the future...
When he saw that the "Muwo Swordsman Style" currently only unlocked the three skills of Source Breath, Blade Return, and Step Step, Oubi noticed - when using the skills of the two styles to defeat or kill the enemy, it should be possible to
Both schools gain experience points at the same time.
Because the "Wuwo Sword Style" currently does not have attack-type skills.
The three skills currently unlocked are all auxiliary skills.
According to the system setting where experience points can only be obtained by defeating and killing enemies, wouldn't it mean that the "Wuwo Swordsman Style" that has not yet unlocked attack skills will never be able to upgrade?
Ogata didn't believe that the system in his mind had such a big omission.
Therefore, Ogata boldly inferred that if you use the skills of the two schools to defeat or kill the opponent, both schools should be able to gain experience points.
And after the discussion with Mikami just now, it was confirmed that Ogata's inference was correct.
In the sparring session with Mikami just now, Ogata used three skills at once - Breath of the Source, Blade Return, and Dragon Tail.
Use the breath of the source to increase your reflexes, then use the blade to block Mikami's sword, and finally defeat Mikami in one breath with the dragon's tail of Sakakihara's Itto style.
Because he defeated Mikami using the skills of two styles, both the Sakakibara One-Sword Style and the Muga Two-Sword Style gained experience points.
--good……!
Ogata moved his right wrist holding the sword.
——I’m in good condition today.
"Senior Mikami." Ogata turned his head and said to Mikami, "Are you still interested in continuing our discussion with me?"
"Of course!" San imitated Ogata's behavior just now, moving her right wrist and right shoulder, "Ogata! Come on!"
Ogata is now eager to raise the level of Mugo Two Swordsman style.
I am eager to unlock the subsequent sword skills of Wuwo Sword Style as soon as possible.
Therefore, he was mentally prepared to be very exhausted due to frantically accumulating experience points in the following days.
…
…
Two days later, near dusk——
Hirose Domain, the family elder——Kurunagazaemon’s residence, Kurunagazaemon’s room——
Kurunaga knelt down on the tatami upright and scanned the scroll in his hand.
And Kuronaga's ninja, Tobiru, knelt respectfully on one knee in front of Kurunaga, waiting for Kuronaga's next order.
The scroll that Kuronaga is holding is all the information about Ogata Issei that Hibiru has collected in the past two days.
Tobiru did not disappoint Kurunaga.
After Kuronaga gave him the order to "collect all personal information about Ogata Issei", Tobiru perfectly completed the task assigned to him by Kuronaga in this short period of time.
Because Kuronaga's reading speed is very fast, it only took a moment for Kuronaga to read all the words on the scroll.
"good……"
Kuronaga nodded gently and slowly put away the scroll.
"My family background is innocent and there is no stain on my body..."
After putting away the scroll in his hand, Kuronaga looked at Fei Yuan in front of him.
"Fei Yuan, that god-sacrifice competition, is there a time set for it?"
"Back to my lord, not yet." Fei Yuan said respectfully, "The God Sacrifice Competition is held at a different time every year!"
"So far, the two owners of Sakakihara Kenkan and Ishikawa Kenkan have not decided on specific events."
"The only thing that is certain is that this year's God Sacrifice Competition will still be held in July as in previous years..."
"Hmph!" Before Tobiru finished speaking, Kuranaga gave a heavy "hum" and interrupted Tobiru's words, "July? It's only June now! Where did I get so much time?
Wait here slowly for the God Sacrifice Competition to begin!"
Having said this, Kuronaga paused.
He seemed to be thinking about something secretly.
After a while, Kurunaga spoke again:
"Tobiru, go and call me the two masters of Sakakihara Kenkan and Ishikawa Sword Hall."
