Although the half-guard is old, his steps are still solid and powerful.

Judging from the way the half-guard walks, he doesn't look like a gray-haired old man at all.

Outside the Sakakibara Sword Museum, there is a small stream flowing through it.

Sakakibara Hanbei led Ogata directly to the stream.

"Ogata, ......"

While looking at the clear water, the half-guard said to Ogata in a serious voice:

"I've heard the rumors of you and Yuanshan going head-to-head."

"You're able to draw with the distant mountains of the Ishikawa Kenkan - I'm proud."

"As a teacher, there is nothing that makes me happier than seeing my disciples grow so greatly."

As soon as Hanbei's words fell, Xu Yi quickly bowed respectfully and said:

"Master, thank you for the compliment."

"But—"

However, the half-guard suddenly changed his words.

"Ogata, I'm going to warn you now."

"You have a lot of potential, you work hard, and one day, your swordsmanship will reach a higher level."

"The sword is a tool with the sole purpose of killing people."

"Swordsmanship is a technique that is specifically designed to kill people."

"But unless you have to, don't pull your knife out of its sheath, and don't hurt people at will."

"Ogata, you have to remember that violence won't solve anything."

"I don't know why you're fighting against the distant mountains, though."

"If the two of you have a confrontation because of a dispute, I hope that Ogata will remain calm and restrained when it comes to such a thing in the future."

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

As soon as Hanbei's words were finished, Xu Yi said helplessly in his heart:

- Master...... That night, it was completely impossible to use the knife......

On the night of the duel with Toyama, both Ogata and Toyama were already in a state of being ready to shoot and had to fire, and it was impossible to make the two of them put down their swords in a non-violent way.

However, Ogata did not say anything to refute what Hanbei had just said.

Instead, he quickly bowed down again:

"Yes! Thank you for your teachings! ”

Rather than standing here listening to Hanbei's teachings, Ogata wanted to return to the sword hall as soon as possible to practice swords.

So I didn't make any arguments, and quickly casually said "thank you", perfunctory to the master, in order to end this preaching as soon as possible.

……

……

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

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

He plans to use all the 2 skill points he still has before proceeding with today's training.

Until now, Ogata is still reflecting on his battle with Toyama a while ago.

The more Ogata thought about it, the more he realized how bad he was in the battle with Toyama a while ago, and how bad it was to not use up the skill points in time.

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 is time to use skill points, I still have to use them decisively and in a timely manner.

Previously, Ogata felt that skill points were valuable, so he saved every skill point, planning to use them later when he had the opportunity.

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

Ogata realizes that he doesn't seem to have the need for skill points.

Just spend every bit of skill point where you will never lose.

Ogata thought about it and found that the most cost-effective place at this stage, and where he would never lose money spending his skill points on it, was to improve his personal attributes.

Use all the skill points on your personal attributes, and point your personal attributes to the highest to create a superhuman body.

With a superhuman-like body, there is no longer even a need for any sword skills, and all enemies can be defeated with just ordinary slashes.

If in the battle with Toyama a while ago, Ogata didn't stupidly save skill points and didn't spend them, but used all the skill points to improve his personal attributes before the battle, then the final result might have been different.

The more Ogata thought about it for a while, 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 his skill points now and in the future to improve his personal attributes.

As long as the personal attributes go up, even if all the sword skill levels are primary, they can still defeat the opponent with their strong physical functions.

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

- Agility plus 1 point!

【Ding! Dexterity +1]

[Current Agility: 8 points]

[Current Remaining Skill Points: 1 point]

Ogata plans to focus his last two skill points on agility and reflexes, respectively.

After so many battles, Ogata has long understood the importance of agility and reflexes in battle.

As soon as the system sound fell, Ogata felt his body lighter and more flexible.

Ogata turned off the system, rubbed his feet, and opened his fists, feeling his body become lighter.

Just as Ogata was excited to get one step closer to becoming Superman, he suddenly noticed something unusual......

"Some...... Strange ......" Ogata looked at his open palms, his brows furrowed unconsciously.

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

But...... Ogata, however, felt that the "lightness" he had just felt was a little worse than the "lightness" he had from moving from 5 to 6 agility......

Increasing agility from 7 to 8 doesn't seem to be as much of an improvement as it does from 5 to 6......

- Say?!

Ogata suddenly thought of a possibility.

In order to verify the possibility he had just thought of, Ogata hurriedly turned the system back on, and then spent the last remaining 1 point on the "reflex nerve".

【Ding! Reflex +1]

[Current reflex nerve value: 8 points]

[Current Remaining Skill Points: 0 points]

It's the same feeling Ogata had when he first lifted his reflex nerve. Ogata felt his eyes and ears clear.

However, this "sense of clarity" is a little worse than the "sense of clarity" brought to Ogata by increasing the "reflex nerve" points before......

- And so ......!

Ogata punched the nearby wooden wall in hatred.

Ogata is feeling depressed right now.

Because his "superman plan" of "using all skill points to improve personal attributes" ended at the beginning......

Ogata has figured out the rules for adding points to the individual attributes of this system.

Using all the skill points to improve personal attributes, theoretically speaking, it is indeed possible to make Ogata a superman who "resists a hundred tripods".

But this requires smashing immeasurable skill points into it to reach this realm......

Because of the characteristics of adding points to this personal attribute, the higher the value of the personal attribute, the less the improvement of physical function will be after adding points.

Originally, Ogata mistakenly thought that every improvement in his personal attributes would bring him the same improvement himself.

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

When the attribute value is still very low, every time you add a skill point, it can indeed make Ogata's physical function get a big improvement.

However, as the stat value increases, the increase that Ogata brings to each additional skill point decreases.

That is, the higher the value of a property, the less the increase will be given to Ogata by adding points to that property.

Increasing Agility from 10 to 15 Agility is definitely not as high as the increase from 5 to 10 Agility.

To put it simply, the cost performance of adding points to personal attribute values will continue to decrease......

"Tsk......"

Ogata scratched at his hair in annoyance.

Ogata now understands what it's like to have a plan that failed at the beginning.

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