Chapter 21 Spend Six Skill Points in a Row

This voice directly stopped Yuan Shan.

Yuan Shan frowned slightly, then turned his head following the sound.

Looking at the owner of this voice——Ogata who was leaning on the wooden sword on the ground and getting up slowly.

"Aren't you willing to admit defeat?"

Toyama said in an impatient tone.

"You are also a warrior. You should have seen it in the confrontation just now?"

"That huge difference in strength between me and you."

"From your action just now, I can see it - you couldn't even see my sword clearly just now, right?"

"You can't even keep up with my sword speed, where do you have the chance to defeat me?"

"No matter how many times you and I compete, there will only be one ending you can get - defeat!"

"Defeat... huh..." Ogata whispered what Toyama said just now.

At this time, Ogata had completely stood up from the ground.

Ogata clenched the wooden knife in his right hand, and after dancing a few times, Chong Yuanshan showed an intriguing smile.

"In that case—why why not compete with me again? See if what you just said is correct."

Toyama wanted to refute Ogata directly.

But looking at the intriguing smile on Ogata's face, Toyama couldn't help feeling his heart sink.

I couldn't help thinking to myself:

——Could it be... Didn't this guy use all his strength just now?

——No... When he faced my attack just now, his flustered look didn't look like he was acting at all...

——But he doesn't look like he's acting now.

...

...

While Toyama was hesitating there, Ah Fu anxiously looked at Ogata who stood up again.

"Master Ogata! Do you still want to fight?"

"Yes." Ogata said without thinking, "If I lose to that person like this, I really won't be reconciled."

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Azaki on the side immediately followed up:

"But, but you are not that person's opponent!"

Ah Saki didn't know much about swordsmanship, but she could tell that Ogata had been crushed and beaten by Yuan Shan just now, and he had no power to fight back.

Ah Saki didn't believe that after being stabbed by Toyama's sword, Ogata could instantly possess the strength to turn defeat into victory.

After the two persuaded Ogata not to fight anymore, Ogata turned his head and looked at the two with a little helplessness.

"Don't worry, Miss Azaki, Miss Afu."

"This time, I won't lose again."

After saying that, Ogata turned around.

He stared directly at Yuan Shan who took over the wooden sword from his junior brother again.

Yuan Shan figured it out - anyway, there is more time now, so he will play with Ogata again.

"You'd better really hide your strength." Yuan Shan said in an indifferent tone, "Otherwise - after I realize that you are actually bluffing, I might beat you with a sword out of rage."

"As for this, I won't bother you." Ogata smiled, "You'd better tighten your nerves, or——I might accidentally beat you."

...

...

Ah Saki didn't believe that Ogata, who was crushed and beaten just now, could have the strength to counter-kill Toyama in an instant.

But in fact——Ah Saki's idea was wrong.

And it was dead wrong.

Ogata really has the ability to instantly become stronger...

...

...

——I was really careless just now...

——No, I was really stupid just now!

——It seems... I still have too many immature places...

——When I found out that Yuan Shan was not an easy person to deal with, I should have used up my skill points in time...

——If we used real knives in the battle just now, the consequences would be disastrous...

——When the distant mountains pierced my chest,

I don't even have a chance to add points...

——In the future, I will...learn a lesson...

Ogata took a deep breath.

Then—

- The system...

Ogata softly called the system in his heart.

—— "Reflex nerve" increased by 2 points! "Agility increased by 1 point!"

——The 3 exclusive experience points of Ichidou Sakakibara are all used to increase the level of the bird thorn!

As soon as the words in Ogata's mind fell, the familiar system voice sounded in Ogata's mind:

【Ding! Agility +1]

[Current agility value: 7 points]

【Ding! Reflex +2]

[Current reflex nerve: 7 points]

[Current remaining skill points: 2 points]

【Ding! Consuming 1 exclusive skill point, Sakakibara Ichidou-Bird Thorn has been upgraded to an "intermediate" skill]

【Ding! Consume 2 exclusive skill points, and Sakakibara Ichidou-Bird Thorn will be upgraded to an "advanced" skill"]

[Currently the remaining exclusive skill points of Sakakibara's swordsmanship: 0 points]

——To deal with Yuanshan, there should be no need to spend all the current skill points...

——6 skill points...should be enough to defeat Yuanshan...

In one breath, Ogata used up 6 of his 8 skill points.

These 6 skill points include 3 exclusive skill points of Sakakibara Ichidou style.

Now, there are only 2 common skill points left for Xu Convenience.

There is no such thing as exclusive skills.

But—although it is a bit painful to use up so many skill points in one go, the improvement in strength brought to Ogata is obvious.

After the system sound in his mind fell, Ogata obviously felt that his body became much lighter.

Perceptual abilities such as vision and hearing have also become sharper.

Even the feeling of holding the sword has changed.

Ogata now has a feeling in the dark - if he uses the "bird thorn" now, he will definitely be faster, more accurate, and more ruthless than before!

The reason why he chose to use all the 3 exclusive skill points to upgrade the bird thorn is because Ogata believes that if he wants to defeat Toyama, the best skill to use is definitely the bird thorn.

From the competition just now, Ogata could see that Yuanshan's speed was very fast.

The speed of foot movement is fast, the speed of defense is fast, and the speed of attack is fast.

The best way to defeat this speedy enemy is to be faster than him!

And "Bird Thorn" happened to be the fastest attack move in Sakakibara's sword style.

Although Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu only has 4 moves in his sword skills, all 4 moves are extremely practical, each move has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Between two points, the straight line is the shortest - this common sense thing, almost everyone knows it.

Therefore, among all the sword skills of various schools, the sword skills that can attack the enemy first are basically stab skills—without any exceptions.

Compared with the slashing and chopping attacks that require drawing an arc, the stabbing attack that can directly attack the enemy in a straight line is obviously faster.

Therefore—in order to defeat Toyama, who is known for his speed, Ogata decided to add all his Sakakibara Ichidou-style exclusive skill points to the bird spine.

Let the level of bird thorns jump directly from "beginner" to "advanced".

...

...

Ogata and Toyama regained their grips on their wooden swords and took up their stances.

And those onlookers who were about to disperse saw that there was still a good show to watch, so they gathered back one after another.

A tight "human circle" with the "battlefield" between Ogata and Yuanshan as the center is re-condensed.

Ogata and Toyama moved their footsteps slowly and moved towards each other.

After Ogata entered the range of Yuan Shan's attack, Yuan Shan immediately shouted, and then stabbed at Ogata with his sword.

What Toyama used was the thrust he used when he defeated Ogata just now, so fast that Ogata couldn't even see the afterimage.

In the competition just now, even though Ogata opened his eyes wide and tensed every nerve in his body, he couldn't see Yuanshan's sword clearly.

But now—when the "reflex nerve" was increased by 2 points and the "reflex nerve" was changed to 7 points, Ogata could see—quite clearly!

Ogata could clearly see the trajectory of the wooden sword!
