I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

After listening to the self-introduction of the owner of the gourd house, Kinoshita Rin, Ogata couldn't help but look at Kinoshita Rin several times again with his complicated eyes.

"...Gamiya...why is your lord a woman..."

"Oh? It turns out that the famous executioner Yidao Zhai is the kind of person who discriminates against women and thinks that women are not qualified to wear swords and control others?"

Lin's tone was obviously displeased.

The surrounding atmosphere also became tense instantly after Lin's words.

Realizing that he might have misunderstood Lin, Ogata said quickly:

"No, I'm not discriminating against women. I'm simply surprised that it didn't match expectations."

"I always thought that the owner of the gourd house who could control the four people in the palace was a strong man with five big and three thick..."

"I never said that our protagonist is a man." Mamiya continued in a half-joking tone.

Rin stabbed Ogata with her faintly curious eyes.

"I heard from Jiulang and the others just now about the series of things that happened to Jiulang and Mibadeng Butterfly Island, as well as... about you."

"What a surprise."

"I didn't expect that there are people in this world who can comprehend Wuwu two-sword style with Uncle's broken cheat book."

Ogata heard Mamiya and the others introduce the relationship between their lord and Genichi Kinoshita.

Kinoshita Genichi is Lin's grandfather's elder brother.

So the uncle Lin mentioned just now is naturally Kinoshita Genichi.

"It's a pity that Uncle is sleeping now, so he can't come to see you, the "apprentice" who has never been masked before, in time."

"One hour ago, when I finished going out to practice and returned to the gourd house, when I learned from Jiulang that I had an additional junior brother, I really had the guts to know that my father had an illegitimate child and that I had a half-brother. Brother's feeling."

Hearing Lin's inexplicable joyful metaphor, Ogata couldn't help but smile.

Ogata did not expect that Kinoshita Rin, who was exuding a cold aura all over her body, would say such inexplicable laughing words.

After looking at Ogata several times again, Lin suddenly changed her tone to be extremely serious:

"Although from a certain point of view, you can be regarded as my younger brother, but I don't want to recognize you as my younger brother, nor do I want to recognize you as a disciple of our Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship."

Ogata raised his eyebrows.

As for the faces of the four in the palace, their expressions also changed slightly at this time.

"Don't you want to recognize me as your disciple of Wuwo Erdao Style...can you tell me the reason?" Ogata crossed his hands into his sleeves on both sides.

"Because I think you're just a thief who stole our Kinoshita family's swordsmanship, what do you think?"

Hearing Lin's words, Ogata's face also began to show displeasure.

"Miss Kinoshita, what you said just now is biased?"

"It was your uncle who gave me the secret book of the Wuwo Two Swords Style to my teacher. I have mastered the Wuwo Two Swords Style through this cheat book given by your uncle openly. How can I steal it?"

"Besides, whether I count as your disciple of Wuwu Dual Swords Style, it should not be your decision, but your uncle's decision, right?"

"You're wrong." Lin still had a frosty face, "I'm the one who has the final say. 2 years ago, Bogong passed on to me, and now I'm the second-generation sect of Wuwo Erdao Style."

"I think you can be regarded as a disciple of our Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship, and you are."

"I don't think you are a disciple of our No-self Two Swords Style, but you are not."

"I think you stole the swordsmanship of our Kinoshita family, you are a thief."

Ogata's face was already full of strong impatience at this time.

"Miss Lin... are you looking for trouble with me?"

"You're overthinking. I'm just stating a fact."

"In that case, Miss Lin, let me state a fact."

Ogata changed his tone of sarcasm.

"Maybe I, a thief, have attainments in Wuwo Dual Swords Style that are still behind you, the orthodox direct descendant?"

Since Lin didn't give Ogata a good face, then Ogata stopped being polite, and he didn't give Lin any good looks, and directly mocked her.

Jian Gong and the others kneeling on both sides were already anxious at this moment.

Even a fool can feel that the atmosphere between Ogata and Lin is now tense.

"Senior Asai..." Shimada whispered to Asai beside him, "My lord, what's wrong...why is she so angry...you keep saying rude things to Master Ogata..."

"How do I know?" Asai replied angrily.

All four of Mamiya racked their brains to think of ways to ease the tense atmosphere between Ogata and Rin.

But before they figured out a way, Lin frowned slightly after receiving Ogata's ridicule.

Subsequently

"Then let me see your level."

"How do you want to know?"

"There is nothing that can show the level of swordsmanship better than actual combat, right?"

"So that's the case, then I will let you see it as I wish."

Ogata is not at all interested in such things as "recognized by Lin as a disciple of the Wugo dual swords style" or "recognized by Lin as his junior".These so-called "names" are not worth mentioning in Ogata's eyes.

The reason why he took up the challenge was purely because he wanted to teach this guy who had been inexplicably hostile to him since just now.

Seeing that Ogata agreed, Lin nodded slightly, turned her head to Shimada and said:

"Shimada."

"exist!"

"Go get 3 wooden knives. 2 knives and [-] wakizashi."

"Yes!"

……

……

Shimada moved quickly.

After a while, he followed Lin's instructions and came back with three knives.

Ogata waved the wooden wakizashi in his left hand and the wooden sword in his right hand.

After confirming that there were no problems with the weight and center of gravity, Ogata looked at Shimada in front of him, who was already in the mid-section.

Ogata thought it was Lin who fought him in person, but it turned out not to be the case.

The sparring partner Lin picked for Ogata was Shimada.

Lin still knelt and sat under the thousand-tenth calabash and horse seal, while Mamiya and the others stood far away, leaving enough space for Ogata and Shimada.

"So you didn't fight me?" Ogata asked Lin, who was kneeling under the horse seal, while playing with the knife in his hand.

"People who can't be defeated by Rokuro in a row are not qualified to let me draw my sword."

"That's it...then Shimada, I'm done."

"Come on!" Shimada gripped the already tight knife even tighter.

After clenching the two knives in his hands, Ogata took a deep breath, and then slowly made the opening gesture of "Wuwu Two Swords Style".

At the moment when the "Nugo Two Swords Style" was set up, Ogata also switched his breathing to "the breath of the source".

Ding!Using "Breath of the Source", temporarily increase the reflex nerve by 2 points

Current reflex nerve value: 11 points

Looking at Ogata's chest rising and falling under the familiar rhythm, Lin's eyes were fixed, and she whispered in a volume that only she could hear clearly:

"It's really the breath of the source... and... the level is not low..."

Looking at Shimada in front of him in a standard mid-section posture, Ogata suddenly thought:

This seems to be the first battle I have fought since I was poisoned by the immortality poison...

The trauma and exhaustion left on Butterfly Island have all recovered.

After recovering from trauma and exhaustion, Ogata finally clearly felt that the increase in physical function brought about by the immortal poison in his body was real.

It is not a temporary increase, it seems to be a permanent increase from the current situation.

His strength, agility, reflexes and other abilities have really been comprehensively improved.

Through this battle with Shimada, let's test the specific level of the body after gaining the boost, right? As soon as this thought came to Ogata's mind, Shimada in front of him gave out a rather imposing aura. The attack was launched.

Looking at the blade of the wooden knife coming towards him, Ogata frowned slightly.

Shimada's every attack has both momentum and power, but it's a pity that every one of his moves is dodged by Ogata with a step, or blocked directly with the blade counter.

While resolving each of Shimada's moves one by one, Ogata's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

Snapped!

After using Wakizashi with his left hand to hold Shimada's horizontal cut again, Ogata whispered to Shimada:

"Haven't you learned any fencing?"

Shimada's expression now... It's as if the lie he told was exposed by someone.

Pushing away Ogata's knife, and taking a few steps back to widen the distance between him and Ogata, he responded softly:

"...That's right. I'm not a student of any school."

After Shimada swung the sword at him for the first time, Ooman felt a strange feeling.

It wasn't until he flashed past and received Shimada's several moves that Ogata finally figured out what was causing this strange feeling. Every move Shimada made was ordinary horizontal and vertical chopping, not of any school or school. Sword skills.

In terms of modern Earth, Shimada's situation is that he can only be flat and can't use skills.

"You seem to know how to chop horizontally and vertically?" Ogata asked.

"Yeah." Shimada smiled wryly, "After all, I haven't learned any sword skills, so I don't know any sword skills, so I only know the two moves of horizontal chop and vertical chop."

Speaking of this, Shimada paused.

Then he said to Ogata in a firm tone:

"Although I don't know any sword skills, my strength is still very strong, please don't underestimate me."

Shimada seems to have misunderstood that Ogata's two questions just now were mocking him for not knowing swordsmanship.

After hearing Shimada's words, Ogata shook his head:

"I won't underestimate you. It's better to say that I admire you very much."

"It is admirable to be able to achieve such strength without knowing swordsmanship."

Ogata's words were sincere, not flattering Shimada.

Although Shimada only knows how to cut horizontally and vertically, it can be seen that Shimada must have painstakingly honed the two moves he only knows.

Whether it is power, speed, or precision, they are all amazing.

After facing Shimada, ordinary samurai may not necessarily be the opponent of this samurai who doesn't know any sword skills.

When dodging and parrying Shimada's attack just now, Ogata was actually observing Shimada's strength.

And now Ogata also has a rough assessment of Shimada's strength: he is not yet his opponent.

After tightening the two wooden knives in his hand, Ogata took the initiative to rush towards Shimada!

Snapped!

Ogata's Wakizashi collided with Shimada's sword.

The moment the two knives collided heavily in mid-air, they separated immediately.

Ogata did not stop his offensive.

After Wakizawa was caught, he immediately swung the sword in his right hand and slashed at Shimada.

Ogata swung his two knives alternately in this way, and launched a continuous onslaught on Shimada.

And Shimada also tensed every nerve in his body, concentrating on defending every slash of Ogata.
