I was a swordsman in ancient Japan

Ogata recalled the state of his body when he used the dragon tail move just now, thinking about how to cut just now to make the knife faster.

Is that right?

Ogata used Da Shitian to use the dragon tail on the air in front of him.

call!

There was a sharp breaking wind.

Ogata vaguely felt that he seemed to have grasped a way to make the dragon's tail faster and more powerful.

After using the dragon tail on the air in front of him, Ogata realized that Shuntaro who was not far away was also swinging a knife at the air in front of him, as if he was thinking about something.

Are you also thinking about how to improve your skills?

For some reason, Ogata felt a smile appeared on his face.

After keeping in mind the inspiration that he had just realized that seemed to make Ryuu's speed faster, Ogata rushed towards Shuntaro.

He wanted to experiment with the inspiration he had just suddenly realized.

The sound of gold and iron clashing alternately sounded again.

The dragon tail flashes!

Ogata saw the right moment and used the dragon's tail to dodge.

While rotating his body to avoid Shuntaro's downward chop, he swung Da Shitian and slashed at Shuntaro horizontally.

This time, Ogata incorporated the inspiration he had just realized into this move.

clang!

Shuntaro raised the two swords in his hands and successfully blocked the attack.

Although the attack failed, Ogata didn't feel the slightest bit of frustration.

On the contrary, there was a slight joy on his face.

Ogata quickly jumped a few steps back, distanced himself from Shuntaro, and whispered in a low voice:

"I see"

After integrating the inspiration he suddenly realized into the dragon tail just now, Ogata obviously felt that his strength and speed had increased a little.

Ogata recalled the feeling of swinging the knife just now.

Remember how your muscles worked just now.

Do this, this, and this!

Ogata waved Da Shitian, and slashed horizontally towards the air in front of him.

call!

The sound of breaking wind was much sharper than before.

Ding!Because Sakakibara's Ichidou-ryu martial arts dragon tail has been used proficiently, Sakakibara's sword-style martial arts dragon tail has been upgraded to an "advanced" skill!

The system sound of this type of system sound, which has increased the level of martial arts due to the increase in proficiency, rang in my mind for a long time.

"I have improved a technique." Ogata said in a calm tone, with a bit of joy.

The reason why Shuntaro didn't take advantage of the gap when Ogata was digesting his combat experience just now was because he was also digesting his combat experience.

After Ogata cast his eyes on Shuntaro, he saw Shuntaro swinging his knife at the air in front of him just like before.

Both the strength and the speed of swinging the knife are a little faster than before.

"Have you improved your technique?" Ogata looked at Shuntaro and murmured.

Ogata somehow didn't feel annoyed or frustrated after seeing Shuntaro evolve in battle like him, perfecting his techniques in battle.

I just feel that the will to defeat Shuntaro has become stronger.

After confirming his refined technique, Shuntaro smiled slightly at Ogata, and then raised his sword again to kill Ogata.

And Ogata fought back without fear.

This is a battle in which the weapons of both sides are equal, the combat power is equal, and there is no personal hatred involved.

In the past duels, either it involved personal hatred, or the weapons were not equal, and the opponent used not a knife but a strangely shaped weapon.

Without the interference of the emotion of "resentment", Ogata was able to feel the changes in his body in this battle of equal combat power and equal weapons, and feel the way to improve his skills.

Although only Sakakibara Ichidou-ryu's Dragon Tail now has a system notification sound indicating that it has been upgraded, Ogata can clearly feel that all his techniques are actually improving.

From all the sword skills of the Sakakibara Ichidou style, to all the sword skills of the Wuga Erjian style, and finally to the combat experience, they are all improving.

In the battle with Shuntaro, I kept discovering my shortcomings, constantly discovering some redundant movements on my body, and constantly discovering some of the best ways to exert force in certain situations.

The same is true for Shuntaro on the opposite side.

Shuntaro also continued to improve his skills in battle.

The progress made in the fierce and maybe deadly battles, the thousand times of swinging wooden swords in the air in the dojo, and the thousand times of friendly exchanges with friends are not enough. Definitely progress.

Now Ogata can't remember how many times he exchanged offense and defense with Shuntaro.

All he knew now was that his physical strength had declined badly.

"Non-self state" is a state that consumes energy rapidly.

At this moment, Ogata had already reached the point where he could no longer maintain the state of oxygen supply without opening his mouth to breathe heavily.

The same goes for Shintaro.

Although Ogata didn't know much about the "Yasha Realm", it is impossible for this kind of medicine that can greatly improve the body's functions in a short period of time without any side effects or defects.

Shuntaro on the opposite side was also out of breath, and the steam-like white smoke from under his skin became much thinner.

Because of his high concentration, Ogata didn't look at how his body was doing.

He could only judge that his current injuries were not too few based on the hot feeling coming from all parts of his body.

But Ogata doesn't have the energy and spare energy to take care of these injuries on his body now.

Shuntaro is the strongest opponent Ogata has ever encountered since he came to the Edo period.His strength is comparable to that of Ogata, and a moment of carelessness may lead to defeat.

Every nerve in Ogata's body has already been tense to the extreme, his eyes are fixed on Shuntaro who is opposite him, looking for Shuntaro's flaws.

But Ogata's body does not.

It should be said that Ogata's body and mind were quietly changing in this evenly matched battle.

Um?How is this going?

A look of astonishment flashed in Ogata's eyes.

At a certain moment just now, Ogata suddenly felt that his vision became very strange.

Just now, Ogata seemed to vaguely see the muscles under Shuntaro's skin.

Although it was only for a short moment, Ogata could clearly see the shape of every muscle in Shuntaro's body and how it was moving now.

Am I dazzled?

This question couldn't help popping up in Ogata's mind.

Before Ogata had time to think about what happened to the vision that seemed to be able to see through Shuntaro just now, Shuntaro, who seemed to have thought about how to deal with Ogata, rushed towards Ogata.

clang!

clang!

clang!

There were a few more strikes of gold and iron.

When Ogata's pupils shrank suddenly when he parried another attack from Shuntaro with Dazai.

Because the strange vision just now appeared again.

I can see what the muscles under Shuntaro's skin look like.

You can see how the muscles under Shuntaro's skin move.

This time, the strange vision lasted a little longer than before.

Because of the longer duration, Ogata clearly saw how Shuntaro's right arm muscles were moving and how they were preparing to move.

Ogata has never studied medicine. Normally, even if he saw how the muscles in the opponent's arm were moving, it would be impossible for Ogata to know what the opponent was planning to do.

But after seeing the muscle changes in Shuntaro's right arm, Ogata felt as if a voice sounded in his head.

And this voice was telling him: Shuntaro intends to use a straight stab, and the target is my right chest.

After his slash just now was stopped by Ogata, Shuntaro immediately turned the Ninja Sword in his right hand and pointed the tip of the knife at Ogata.

Then there was a scene where Shuntaro's eyes couldn't help but widen in shock.

As soon as he stabbed out the ninja knife in his right hand, Ogata used a step at a very fast speed to dodge.

That action was so fast, it was as if he had predicted in advance what he would do.

Ogata used stepping steps to get behind Shuntaro, and raised the two swords in his hands high

As soon as he dodged Shuntaro's stab with a step, the strange vision disappeared again.

Thanks to the strange vision just now, Ogata predicted in advance what Shuntaro would do, and avoided Shuntaro's move at a very fast speed.

Ogata's dodging speed this time was so fast that Shuntaro couldn't even react.

So much so that after Ogata dodged to Shuntaro's side, Shuntaro hadn't had time to put up a defensive or dodge posture.

Ogata would naturally not let go of this great opportunity to attack.

Ogata raised Da Shitian and Da Zizai in his hands, and used his unique skill of Wuwu Dual Swordsmanship, Cicada Rain.

Since unlocking this 7-slash technique, Ogata has never used this move on anyone.

Da Shitian and Da Zizai turned into two rays of light that were so fast that there were only afterimages and swept towards Shuntaro.

Shuntaro managed to get ready to defend before Ogata's sword fell on him.

After connecting Cicada Rain's first 3 knives, Shuntaro found that the rhythm of Ogata's consecutive slashes was chaotic.

So Shuntaro didn't dare to be careless, and concentrated all his energy and attention on defense.

clang!clang!

Subsequently, Shuntaro took another 2 knives.

When Ogata was about to swing the sixth knife, the vision in front of him changed. The strange vision just now appeared again.

This time the strange vision lasted longer and was seen more clearly.

According to the changes in Shuntaro's muscles, Ogata clearly saw how every muscle in Shuntaro's body was changing.

Which knife he wants to use next for defense.

And how strong the knife he used for defense would be.

How is this going?

Only then did Ogata realize that it wasn't just the vision that had changed this time.

Even the control over his own body has changed.

Ogata felt as if he could freely control every muscle in his body.

If you want to use 100 points of strength, you will never use 101 points of strength.

It was the first time for Ogata to experience this feeling of being able to freely control every muscle in his body.

This time, Shuntaro did not catch Ogata's sixth knife.

Ogata had predicted how Shuntaro would defend based on his muscles.

Then, relying on his miraculous state of being able to freely control every muscle in his body, he easily circled the knife that had been cut from midair, bypassed Shuntaro's defense, and hit Shuntaro.

The blade cut from Shuntaro's left shoulder to his right armpit.

Shuntaro's eyes were full of astonishment at this moment.

He instinctively felt a sudden change in Ogata's temperament, although it was only for a short moment.

If we say that after Ogata entered the "Non-Self Realm", the feeling he brought to Shintaro was that he changed from a human being to a thousand-year-old tree.
