I Was a Swordsman in Ancient Japan

Although Hanbei is old, his footsteps are still solid and powerful.

Judging from the way Hanbei walked, he didn't look like a white-haired old man at all.

Outside the Sakakibara Sword Gym, there is a small stream flowing by.

Hanbei Sakakibara directly led Ogata to the stream.

"Ogata..."

Hanbei looked at the clear water, and said to Ogata earnestly:

"I've heard the rumors about you and Yuan Shan going head-to-head."

"You can tie with Yuanshan of Ishikawa Sword Gym-I am very proud."

"As a teacher, nothing makes me happier than seeing my disciples grow so much."

As soon as Hanbei's voice fell, Ooyokai hurriedly bowed respectfully and said:

"Master, thank you for your compliment."

"but--"

However, Hanbei suddenly changed the subject.

"Ogata, I want to remind you now."

"You have great potential and you work hard. One day, your swordsmanship will reach a higher level."

"The sword is a tool whose sole purpose is to kill."

"Swordsmanship is a technique specially used to kill people."

"But it's not a last resort, don't draw your sword out of its sheath, and don't shoot at will to hurt people."

"Ogata, you have to keep in mind—violence can't solve any problems."

"Although I don't know why you confront Yuan Shan."

"If the confrontation broke out between the two of you because of a dispute, I hope that you, Ogata, will remain calm and restrained when encountering such a thing from now on."

"What can be solved with the tongue, can never be solved with the sword."

As soon as Hanbei finished speaking, Ooyoung said helplessly in his heart:

——Master... the situation that night, it is impossible to use the knife at all...

On the night of the confrontation with Yuan Shan, both Ogata and Yuan Shan were in a state of being on the verge of an arrow and had no choice but to strike. It was impossible for the two of them to put down their swords in a non-violent way.

But Ogata did not refute Hanbei's words just now.

Instead, he quickly bowed again:

"Yes! Thank you, Master, for your instruction!"

Compared to standing here and listening to Hanbei's teachings, Ogata wanted to go back to the sword hall to practice swords quickly.

So without any refutation, I hurriedly said "thank you, master" casually, and perfunctory the master, in order to quickly end this preaching.

...

...

After returning to the dojo, Ogata did not immediately pick up the wooden sword and join the training of the brothers.

Instead, he walked silently to a certain corner of the dojo.

He planned to use up all the 2 skill points he still had, before proceeding with today's training.

Until now, Ogata is still reflecting on the battle he had with Toyama a while ago.

The more Ogata thought about it, the more he felt how bad his mistake was in not using up the skill points in time in the battle with Yuan Shan a while ago.

At the same time, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the idea of ​​saving skill points is good, but when it's time to use skill points, I still have to use them decisively and in a timely manner.

Before, Ogata felt that skill points were very precious, so he saved every skill point and planned to use it later when he had a chance.

But after experiencing those two rounds of battles with Toyama, Ogata also began to reflect on his practice of saving skill points.

Ogata realized that he didn't seem to need to save skill points.

As long as you spend every skill point where you will never lose money.

Ogata thought about it, and found that the most cost-effective place at this stage, and the place where you will never lose money if you spend your skill points on it, is-to improve your personal attributes.

Use all the skill points on your own personal attributes, and maximize your own personal attributes,

Build a superhuman body.

With a superhuman body, no sword skills are even needed, and all enemies can be defeated by ordinary slashing.

If in the battle with Yuanshan a while ago, Ogata didn't just save up skill points and use them to improve his personal attributes before the battle, then the final result might be It's different.

The more Ogata thought about it these days, the more he felt that his idea made sense.

So until today, Ogata has finally made up his mind - he wants to use most of the skill points now and in the future to improve his personal attributes.

As long as the personal attributes are improved, even if all the sword skills are at the elementary level, they can still defeat the opponent with their powerful physical functions.

After standing still in the corner of the dojo, Ogata called out the system.

——Agility plus 1 point!

【Ding! Agility +1]

[Current agility value: 8 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 1 point]

Ogata intends to spend his last 2 skill points on agility and reflex respectively.

Having experienced so many battles, Ogata has already deeply realized the importance of agility and reflexes in battle.

After the system sound fell, Ogata immediately felt his body become lighter and more flexible.

Ogata turned off the system, weighed his feet and opened his fists, feeling his body that became lighter.

Just when Ogata was excited that he was one step closer to becoming a "Superman", he suddenly discovered something strange...

"Some...strange..." Ogata looked at his open palms, and frowned unconsciously.

Although Ogata did feel that after adding points, his body became lighter and more flexible.

But... Ogata felt that the "lightness" he had just now was a little worse than the "lightness" brought to him when he rose from 5 points of agility to 6 points of agility...

After raising the agility from 7 points to 8 points, the improvement brought to Ogata, he always felt that the improvement brought to him by raising the agility from 5 points to 6 points...

--Could it be that? !

Ogata suddenly thought of a possibility.

In order to verify the possibility he had just thought of, Ogata hurriedly restarted the system, and then spent the last remaining point on "reflex nerves".

【Ding! Reflex +1]

[Current reflex nerve value: 8 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 0 points]

It was the same feeling that Ogata felt when he raised his reflexes for the first time. Ogata felt his eyes and ears became clearer.

But this "sense of clarity" is worse than the "sense of clarity" brought to Ogata after increasing the "reflex nerve" points before...

——As expected...!

Ogata punched the wooden wall next to him bitterly.

Ogata felt very depressed now.

Because his "Superman Project" of "using all skill points to improve personal attributes" ended just as it started...

Ogata figured out the rules for adding points to personal attributes in this system.

Using all the skill points to improve personal attributes, in theory, can indeed make Ogata a superman who can "resist a hundred tripods".

But this requires a lot of hard-to-measure skill points to reach this level...

Because the characteristic of adding points to this personal attribute is that the higher the value of the personal attribute, the less the improvement of the person's physical function after adding points.

Originally, Ogata mistakenly thought that every bit of improvement in personal attributes brought him the same improvement.

And just now, after spending the last 2 points of his remaining skills on agility and reflex damage, Ogata realized that this was not the case at all.

When the attribute value is still very low, adding a little skill point to it can indeed greatly improve Ogata's physical functions.

However, as the attribute value continues to increase, the increase that Ogata brings to Ogata will continue to decrease with each additional skill point.

That is to say - the higher the value of a certain attribute, the less increase it will bring to Ogata after adding points to this attribute.

After raising agility from 10 points to 15 agility points, the increase brought to Ogata is definitely not as high as the increase from agility 5 points to 10 agility points.

To put it simply, the price/performance ratio of adding points to personal attribute values ​​will continue to decrease...

"Tsk..."

Ogata scratched his hair angrily.

Now Ogata has realized what it feels like to "fail at the very beginning of the plan".

The idea that "as long as the personal attributes are high, everything will be fine" is completely bankrupt at this time.
