Volume 2 The Executioner Chapter 70: Wuwo's Two Swords Flow
August 15, 1789.
Hirose Domain, Sakakibara Sword Hall——
It was now approaching dusk.
After finishing their work for the day, all the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym gathered in the Sakakibara Sword Gym and started their respective practice for the day.
"drink!"
Makino released a powerful Qi He and swung his sword towards Mikami in front of him.
Snapped!
The dull sound of wooden swords colliding was heard, and San commented with a smile:
"Makino, that's a good slash. My hands are numb from the shock."
"Thank you for the compliment, Senior Mikami." With a slight smile, Makino accepted Mikami's compliment frankly, then he got ready again, ready for a new round of competition with Mikami in front of him.
However, at this moment, Makino, who was facing the gate of the dojo, found a familiar figure at the gate of the dojo.
"Mikami-senpai! Look!"
Mikami followed Makino's excited voice and gaze and looked behind him.
After seeing the face of the figure standing at the entrance of the dojo, a hint of excitement appeared on Mikami's face.
"Ogata-kun!"
While calling out Ogata's name, Mikami and Makino quickly ran towards Ogata who was standing at the entrance of the dojo.
Mikami's words "Ogata-kun" instantly attracted the attention of everyone in the dojo. Everyone looked towards the entrance of the dojo. When they saw that it was Ogata coming, they put down their practices and went to greet Ogata who was standing at the entrance.
"Good afternoon, everyone." Ogata smiled at his fellow apprentices in front of him.
"Senior Ogata!" Makino asked, "Are you ready to practice swordplay now?"
"Not yet." Ogata touched his left shoulder and smiled bitterly, "Doctor Xuan'an said that I need another two days before I can practice with the same intensity as before."
"I just felt too bored staying at home today, so I came to the dojo to take a look. You don't have to worry about me, just go back and continue practicing."
…
…
After the fellow disciples greeted Ogata one by one and expressed their concern for him, they dispersed and resumed their practice that had just been interrupted.
Ogata sat quietly in a corner of the dojo, watching his fellow apprentices practice.
The life-and-death battle with Toyama—that happened more than a month ago, nearly two months ago.
After the fatal battle , Kuranaga commissioned Dr. Gen'an, the most skilled doctor in their domain, to treat Ogata.
Ogata felt flattered by Kuranaga's kindness.
At the same time, I also felt extremely confused.
Because no matter how Ogata searched his mind, he couldn't think of any previous interactions between him and Kuranaga.
They had no connection before, so why was Cang Yong so kind to him?
This question has been lingering in Ogata's mind until now.
And Dr. Xuan'an is worthy of being the most skilled doctor in Hirose Domain.
After the battle with Toyama, Ogata had 5 wounds on his body.
However, the injuries on Ogata's body were all minor, just ordinary flesh wounds.
After he bandaged them, Ogata felt that the wounds on his body, which had been burning, immediately became less painful.
According to Dr. Gen'an - Ogata felt the pain relieved because he used his exclusive secret recipe, a medicine that can help relieve pain.
After treating and bandaging Ogata's wound, Doctor Xuan'an specifically reminded Ogata not to practice swordplay until his injuries were healed.
If he continued to practice swordplay with such an injured body, it would most likely cause the wound to split, making the originally not-so-serious injury instantly become serious.
Xuan'an not only reminded Ogata, but also reminded Sakakibara Hanbei, telling Hanbei not to let him touch the sword until Ogata's injuries were healed.
Hanbei also cooperated and announced directly to everyone in Sakakibara Sword Hall that no one was allowed to let Ogata touch the sword, and no one was allowed to practice with Ogata until he recovered.
Ogata is not the kind of martial arts fanatic who would force himself to practice swordplay even if he is injured.
Since Doctor Xuan An said that his injured body was not suitable for sword practice, Xu Fang obediently followed Doctor Xuan An's medical advice and lay in bed at home to recuperate.
Because he had been recovering from his injuries and not practicing sword for more than a month, Ogata naturally did not gain any experience points in this period of time.
Although he did not practice sword, Ogata did not just lie in bed stupidly and do nothing.
Over the past month, Ogata has been practicing "Origin Breathing".
"Is it possible to improve martial arts level without using skill points but only through hard training?" - Ogata is still insisting on doing this experiment.
Although I can't practice swordplay during the recovery period, I have plenty of time to practice "Origin Breathing".
However - after practicing for more than a month, Ogata still hadn't heard the system sound in his mind reminding him that the level of "Origin Breathing" had been upgraded from elementary to intermediate.
Although the level of "Origin's Breathing" has not been improved until now, Ogata's hard training of "Origin's Breathing" for more than a month has not been in vain.
The duration of "Breath of the Source" has been extended from more than 5 minutes to more than 7 minutes.
After sitting at the edge of the dojo and watching his fellow apprentices practice for a few rounds, Ogata felt a little bored, so he simply opened his personal system interface and checked his current data.
[Name: Ogata Noriyoshi]
[Level: Lv10: 770/900]
Personal attributes:
Strength: 6
Agility: 8
Reflexes: 8
Stamina: 5
Vitality: 5
[Martial Arts School:
Sakakibara Ittoryu: 6th stage: 760/1500
Wu Ge Dual Swords: 2nd stage: 60/500]
[Remaining skill points: 0 points]
【Sakakibara Ittoryu (6th dan):
Climbing: Beginner
Water Fall: Intermediate
Bird Thorn: Advanced
Dragon Tail: Primary
【Muga Two-Sword Style (2nd Stage):
Breath of the Source : Elementary
Blade Reversal: Elementary
Circulation: Primary
Step: (to be unlocked)]
After successfully killing Toyama, Ogata's "Muga Two-Sword Style" was successfully upgraded to the 2nd stage, and a new sword skill "Flow" was opened for Ogata to unlock, which also brought Ogata 2 skill points.
Ogata used one of these two skill points to increase his "strength", and the other to unlock the "Muga Two-Sword Style" sword technique - Flow.
After the battle with Toyama was over and Doctor Xuan'an had bandaged his wounds, Ogata immediately and excitedly opened his system interface, wanting to unlock the sword technique he had always wanted to obtain after learning the "Muga Nito-Ryu" martial arts style - Ryu-Lun.
However, when Ogata opened the system interface and excitedly wanted to unlock the sword skill "Flow", he was surprised to find that if he wanted to unlock "Flow", he not only needed to spend 1 skill point, but also had requirements for his personal attribute values.
At that time, Ogata found that he had silently repeated "Unlock Flow" countless times in his mind, and when the system sound did not come out, he clicked on the small question mark behind the item [Flow (Can be unlocked with 1 skill point)] in the system interface with full of doubts.
When the small question mark expanded into a virtual interface, it clearly read:
[Can be unlocked with 1 skill point. Must first master the sword skill "Blade Reversal" and have a strength of 6 points. Since the host's current strength is not 6 points, it cannot be unlocked at this time]
