I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Although he is not very familiar with this senior, but according to the memory in his mind - his senior is much better than Mu Ye.

Because he didn't know Ogata very well, his senior brother didn't exchange any greetings with Ogata, instead he put the wooden sword in his left waist and squatted down.

Ogata followed suit, put the wooden sword in his left waist, and squatted down.

Seeing that the two were ready for the sword competition, Sakakibara Hanbei directly shouted "Start".

……

……

Both Ogata and his senior brother held a mid-section stance.

The so-called middle posture is a kind of sword-holding posture in Japanese Kendo.

There are three main knife-holding postures: upper section, middle section and lower section.

In addition to these three main knife-holding postures, there are other types of relatively unpopular knife-holding postures such as Baxiang and dragging the knife.

Different knife holding postures have different attack characteristics.

The middle stance, which is to point the tip of the sword to the enemy's face, is the most commonly used sword holding posture by warriors.

The middle posture is a relatively versatile knife holding posture, which can be used for both attack and defense.

The upper part of the stance is to hold the sword high above the head and focus on attacking. However, because the sword is held high above the head, the door of the body is wide open, which can be regarded as a defensive posture for holding a sword.

The lower stance is to place the sword lower and aim the sword tip at the enemy's knees. It is a defensive stance that is good at defense but weak in attack.

According to different battle needs, switching different stances is the basic skill of those great swordsmen.

Ogata is obvious—he can't do that yet.

At present, he is only good at the upper and middle stances.

For other postures except the upper and middle sections, Ogata can really be said to be a pick.

He and his senior brother each held a mid-section posture, facing each other.

No one was the first to attack.

Whoever moves first often means that whoever breaks through first.

Therefore, until the moment when you are confident that you can kill the enemy with one blow, no one will move lightly.Unless you're a fool.

After confronting the senior brother for a long time, the first person who lost his composure was the senior brother.

The senior brother stepped closer and rushed into Ogata's attack range - and at the same time let Ogata enter his own attack range.

After stepping into the range enough to launch a stab at Ogata, the senior brother directly used the thrust technique in Sakakibara's sword style-the bird stab, and stabbed at Ogata's chest.

Although the senior brother moved quickly, Ogata's eyes could still catch it.

Snapped!

There was a loud crash of wood banging.

Ogata parried his senior brother's thrust with his sword, and quickly stepped back a few steps to distance himself from his senior brother.

The first round of offense and defense between the two ended in a tie.

——As expected of a senior brother...

While adjusting his breathing, Ogata thought to himself.

——The speed just now is really extraordinary... In terms of strength, this brother should be on par with me...

Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu is a kind of Ichidou-style swordsmanship that was born not long ago.

The founder of the Sakakibara Ichidou style is the elder brother of Sakakihara Hanbei, the master of Ogata and others, Sakakihara Denichiro.

Denichiro is a great swordsman who knows quite a lot of styles of swordsmanship.

When he was approaching middle age, Denichiro took the advantages of various schools and developed a brand new Ichidou style of swordsmanship - Sakakibara Ichidou style.

Sakakibara Ichidou is a very simple swordsmanship, because it only has 4 moves in total - bird stab, water drop, climbing a building, and dragon tail.

Bird Thorn: Thrust skill.

Water drop: downward hacking technique.

Climb upstairs: challenge skills.

Dragon Tail: Slashing technique.

Without any fancy secret skills, Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu only has these 4 extremely practical sword skills with different attack methods from the beginning to the end.

After Denichiro developed Sakakibara Ichidou style, he passed it on to his younger brother, Hanbei.

Not long after handing down Sakakibara Ichidou to Hanbei, Denichiro sadly passed away.

In order to carry forward the swordsmanship that his brother spent almost his entire life inventing, Hanbei established this "Sakakibara Sword Hall".

Trying to carry forward this set of young swordsmanship of Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu.

Afterwards, Obiri was extremely fortunate to be one of the first batch of disciples to worship under Hanbei's sect.

——This senior brother is really strong...

——If you don't want to use some tricks, it's probably hard to defeat this senior brother...

Ogata thought for a moment.

Then he adjusted his sword-holding posture.

He raised the sword in his hand above his head, and adjusted the middle posture to the upper posture.

After Ogata changed the posture of holding the sword to the upper posture, it caused bursts of exclamation in the sword hall.

Makino, who was kneeling and watching the battle, said in a low voice that only he could hear clearly:

"Senior, is he going to use what he is best at, 'Water Falling'..."

The sword skill that Ogata is best at using is the chopping skill "Waterfall" - this is not a secret in the Sakakibara Sword Gym.

After all, everyone usually competes with each other, and everyone has already known who is good at which sword skill.

After Ogata changed his sword-holding stance to the upper stance, many people in the museum were like Makino—thinking that Ogata would use his best sword skill "water drop" to defeat his opponent.

And Ogata's opponent, his senior brother, also thinks so.

Ogata's senior brother swallowed, and silently prepared to defend against "Shuiluo".

Ogata moved his feet, slowly closing the distance between himself and his senior brother.

And the senior brother didn't evade on purpose, he let Ogata approach, and let the distance between the two slowly narrow.

The moment the distance between the two of them was so close that their swords could touch each other——

Ogata jumped up slightly, as if about to make a powerful downward chop.

And the senior brother, who had prepared for defense early, raised the sword in his hand at an extremely fast speed, ready to catch the sword that Ogata had slashed.

Looking at the senior brother who raised the sword, a faint smile appeared on Ogata's face.

--I won.

After saying this in his heart with a very firm tone, Ogata's waist and abdomen exerted force, causing himself who had jumped into the air to "sink" back to the ground quickly.

And the senior brother who was deceived by Ogata's fake action just now still puts on the appearance of raising his sword to defend.

With the current appearance of the senior brother, it can be said that the empty door is wide open.

And the state with the empty door wide open is the easiest state to "die" in the sword competition.

Aiming at the chest of his senior brother, Ogata directly used the only thrusting technique in Sakakibara Ichidou style - "Bird stabbing".

"Well!"

The senior brother who was stabbed in the chest by the tip of the wooden sword took a few steps back, and then fell to the ground.

Chapter 4 Upgrade and Add Points [Please Feed! 】

——I... upgraded?

Ogata hadn't recovered from the series of system sounds just now.

It took a while for Ogata to digest the series of system sounds that sounded in his mind just now.

After defeating the senior brother just now, the personal experience points gained are just enough for Ogata to advance to LV8.

After being promoted to a level, Ogata also gained 1 skill point.

Finally got the skill point, which made Ogata quite excited.

Because according to his research on the system in his brain just now - the most important thing in this system is skill points.

As long as you have skill points, you can become stronger.

Just when Ogata was thinking about whether he should use the 1 skill point he finally got to enhance his personal attributes, or save it to upgrade his sword skills later, a hearty male voice suddenly sounded from a corner of the sword hall:

"Hahahaha! Ogata-kun has been distracted today, I thought Ogata-kun you are not in good health today!"

"Now it seems——I was worrying too much! Ogata-kun, your physical condition is quite good today!"

Ogata followed the reputation.

The person who spoke was a strong man with a very clean and tidy Yuedai hair.

Not only is his body strong, but his whole body is also dignified.

If he could change his hairstyle and not shave this ugly Tsukiyo head, then in Ogata's eyes, this strong man would be undeniably handsome.

No matter what Ogata said, he also traveled from the modern Earth.

In the eyes of Ogata, who was born on the modern earth, the hairstyle of Tsukiyotou is really ugly.

In this world, there should be no handsome guy who can control this hairstyle.

Ogata involuntarily raised his hand to touch the thick hair on his head.

I can't help but secretly feel lucky - my hairstyle is always hair, not monthly hair.

In the Edo period, the most popular hairstyle among the samurai was undoubtedly Tsukiyotou.

The opposite of Yuedaitou is Zongfa.

Total hair - that is, the top of the head is not shaved at all, and all the hair is tied into a bun.

It is convenient to keep the general hair.

No, to be precise, it was the original owner of this body—"Ogata Hara" who kept his hair.

Not only did he keep his long hair, but he also deliberately removed some hair on his forehead and left some bangs.

He didn’t shave Tsukiyo, but also shaved some of the hair on his forehead—in the eyes of people of this era, the hairstyle of “Ogata Hara” is simply heresy.

"Ogata Hara" was criticized by many people for this reason.

But no matter how others criticize him, "Ogata Hara" still keeps his hair and bangs in his own way.

In the eyes of others, the aesthetics of "Origahara" is ugly and heresy.

But in Ogata's eyes, the aesthetics of "Origahara Ogata" are simply trendy.

Ogata felt very fortunate—for the excellent aesthetics of the original owner of this body, "Ogata Hara".

After letting go of his hand touching his hair, Ogata smiled at the handsome man and said:

"Senior Sanshang, you've been honored."

This strong man is named Mikamiemon.

He is recognized as the strongest among all the disciples of Sakakibara Sword Gym.

Although in terms of strength, Mikami ranks first among all the disciples.
