After reading all the words on this virtual screen, Ogata was stunned for a while and quickly clicked on the small question mark behind his other martial arts.
All of his current martial arts have no requirements on his personal attribute values, and can be upgraded by adding skill points - except for this transfer that has yet to be unlocked, and - Bird Thorn.
After clicking on the small question mark behind the sword skill "Bird Thorn", the virtual screen that appeared in front of Ogata displayed:
[You can spend 4 skill points to upgrade to a "master level" sword skill. Because the host's strength has not reached 8 points and agility has not reached 10 points, it is currently not available for upgrade]
After using exclusive skill points to upgrade "Bird Thorn" to a high level in one go, Ogata never paid attention to the new upgrade conditions of "Bird Thorn".
Only now did Ogata realize that if he wanted to continue upgrading "Bird Thorn", he could no longer just rely on skill points as before.
When upgrading "Bird Thorn" from elementary level to advanced level by two levels in one go, Ogata's personal attribute value is not required to reach any number of points.
Maybe there are requirements for Ogata's personal attribute values - but because Ogata's personal attribute values met that requirement, the system did not display the corresponding prompt.
But now to upgrade Bird Thorn from advanced level to master level, the difficulty suddenly becomes much higher. Not only does Ogata's strength need to reach 8 points, but also Ogata's agility needs to reach 10 points.
As for Ogata's current two values, none of them are up to standard...
But Ogata understands this very well.
Because the more powerful a sword skill is to be used, the more powerful the user must be.
Ogata's previous "weak" body with no outstanding attributes was able to master the advanced Bird Thorn.
But now that he wants to master the master-level Bird Thorn, Ogata's personal attribute values suddenly have such high requirements...
It is not difficult to surmise that the power of the Master Bird Thorn should be far higher than that of the advanced level.
At the same time, Ogata instinctively felt that "master level" might be a big hurdle for swordsmanship.
There are two realms: below the "master level" and above the "master level".
Ogata's personal attribute value suddenly has extremely high requirements for the "Bird Thorn" upgrade condition, which is the best argument for Ogata's speculation.
When upgrading Bird Thorn from elementary level to advanced level, there were no high requirements for Ogata's various attributes, but now there are such high requirements for upgrading from advanced level to master level.
It's a pity that Ogata's current sword skill level is "advanced", and he can't test whether other sword skills are as difficult to upgrade to "master level".
"Flow" is the core attack skill of the Wuwo Sword Style.
Since the user is required to use two swords to fight, the strength requirements for the user must be very high.
After all, real knives are very heavy. Holding two knives with both hands requires extremely high strength.
So Ogata is not surprised that it requires strength to reach 6 points to unlock "flow".
Anyway, he happened to have something on hand.
And he also happens to have plans to improve his power.
Ogata's current biggest physical weakness is that his strength, stamina, and vitality are still only 5 points.
Vitality is considered to be the attribute least relevant to combat among Ogata's five attributes.
Click on the small question mark at the end of the vitality item, and the explanation for the vitality item that pops up is:
[Increasing vitality can improve the host's cell vitality and immunity. It makes the host less likely to get sick, wounds heal more easily, and fatigue recovers more easily]
It would be a bit far-fetched to insist that vitality has nothing to do with combat.
If the vitality is increased, it will also be helpful for Ogata's battle - it will allow Ogata's wounds to heal faster after the battle.
Ogata has actually thought about it - should he allocate 1 of the 2 skill points he currently has on hand and add it to his vitality, or add all of it directly to his vitality so that his injuries can heal faster and make him more powerful?
Quickly return to the dojo to practice swordsmanship.
After thinking for a moment, Ogata directly canceled his idea.
Even if all 2 skill points are added to vitality, it may only allow Ogata to recover more than a week in advance at most.
No matter how he thought about using up 2 of his skill points just to be able to recover so early, Ogata felt it was not worth it.
Therefore, Ogata gave up the idea of using these 2 skill points for vitality, and used 1 skill point to increase his strength, raising his strength to 6 points.
Then the last remaining skill point was used to unlock "circulation".
After happily using up these 2 skill points, Ogata turned back into a pauper with 0 skill points left.
…
…
After scanning the personal system interface thousands of times for more than a month, Ogata sighed softly, and then closed the system interface.
After sighing softly, Ogata looked at his brothers who were practicing in the dojo, and whispered at a volume that only he could hear clearly:
"I really want to practice sword practice..."
For more than a month, Ogata has been looking forward to returning to the dojo as soon as possible so that he can experiment with his new sword skill - flow.
But that day is coming soon.
Yesterday, when Dr. Xuan An came to change his dressing, he told him that in a few days, he would be able to return to the dojo and resume the same intensity of training as before.
Just when Ogata was in a daze of boredom, a familiar old male voice sounded from beside Ogata:
"Ogata, you're here."
"Ah, master."
Ogata quickly stood up and bowed to the Hanbei who came to Ogata's side.
Hanbei also waved his hand, indicating that Ogata would not be polite.
"Ogata, how is your wound recovery going recently?"
"Very good." Ogata patted his chest gently, "Doctor Xuan'an said - in a few days, I will be able to return to the dojo to practice swordsmanship."
"Ah That's good."
Hanbei nodded and paused for a while.
Then Chaogata asked:
"Then... Ogata, have anyone from the Ishikawa Kenkan come to trouble you recently?"
"No." Ogata shook his head, "No one from the Ishikawa Sword Hall has come to trouble me."
"...It's really rare." Hanbei murmured to himself, "The disciples of the Ishikawa Kenkan are so restrained... and they didn't cause trouble for you..."
"I think it's strange too." Ogata smiled bitterly and shrugged, "I was already prepared that someone from the Ishikawa Kenkan would come to trouble me, and then I would be forced to kill a few more people, but it turned out that there were more than one.
The month has been surprisingly calm and peaceful."
Although Renichiro Toyama is a man with a bad temper, who does not help his relatives, but precisely because he does not help his relatives, he will always defend his brothers in public or privately.
This also made Toyama very popular among the disciples of Ishikawa Sword Hall.
After killing Toyama in the God Sacrifice Competition, Ogata originally thought that someone from the Ishikawa Sword Hall might seek revenge on him later.
But I didn't expect it - for more than a month, it has been surprisingly peaceful.
There was no one from the Ishikawa Kenkan to trouble Ogata at all.
