This time, there is no more like just now, there is a Sato Goro who can't wait to play.

After a few seconds, a tall and thin man walked up to the dojo with a calm face, picked up the wooden knife that had been used by Hirano and Sato, and then fell to the ground because the two of them had passed out, and said:

"Sangoro Shimada, participate!"

Ogata looked at the wooden knife in Sangoro Shimada's hand.

"Would you like a wooden knife?"

"This wooden knife is not broken, why should it be replaced?" Sangoro Shimada raised an eyebrow, puzzled.

"I'm just worried about whether you'll blame the wooden knife in your hand after you all lose to me."

Ogata shrugged.

"You also know that there are always some people who don't know what 'shame' is, and after losing to others, they always like to find all kinds of reasons for their losses."

"The wooden knife is innocent. After losing to me, please don't give yourself reasons like 'my wooden knife is heavier than Ogata's,' 'The center of gravity of my wooden knife is completely wrong,' or 'This wooden knife is cursed, so everyone who used this knife lost.' ”

As soon as Ogata's words fell, Shimada Sangoro roared:

"You bastard!! Don't be too arrogant!! ”

"I'm just stating a fact." Ogata has a calm and breezy appearance.

"Humph! After being defeated by me, I see if you can still be so arrogant! ”

Sangoro Shimada raised the wooden knife in his hand and took a mid-section stance.

And Ogata also raised his sword with Shimada Sangoro almost at the same time, and put on a stance.

The next moment when both of them were in their stance, Shimada Sangoro took a step forward, letting out an imposing shout as he launched an onslaught at Ogata.

In those two battles just now, Shimada Sangoro had already seen that Ogata's sword speed was fast, and if he stupidly waited for Ogata to attack, he would only fall into disadvantage.

Therefore, Shimada Sangoro decided to use a completely different countermeasure than Hirano and Sato in the previous two rounds - as soon as the battle began, he launched a fierce attack on Ogata, so that Ogata did not even have a chance to breathe.

Sangoro Shimada is actually gambling.

Gamblers are not good at defending or dodging.

It's a pity - Sangoro Shimada made a mistake.

……

……

- It's slow.

Looking at the wooden knife in Shimada's hand that kept attacking various parts of his body, Ogata silently sighed in his heart about Shimada's turtle speed.

In the eyes of others, Shimada Sangoro's sword speed may be very fast, so fast that only a little afterimage can be seen.

But in Ogata's eyes, this series of actions by Shimada Sangoro is no different from slow motion.

It's been a while since I came to the Edo period.

During this time, Ogata has already played against people for an unknown number of matches.

After so many competitions, Ogata realized a truth - people who are agile enough and quick enough to react can really take advantage of the battle.

Agile enough + quick reaction speed = dodge ability that misses every enemy attack.

The increase in agility will make Ogata's sword speed faster.

The increased speed of the sword allows Ogata's sword to quickly slash the enemy, and the enemy does not realize that Ogata has taken out the sword until it is slashed.

Therefore, if you are agile enough, you will also have super attack power.

Ogata's agility and reflex nerves are both 8 points.

Although Ogata doesn't know what level he is at now, looking at the whole of Japan, it is more than enough to deal with goods like Sangoro Shimada.

Ogata's eyes could see the path of each of Shimada's attacks.

Ogata's feet are quick and just right to dodge every attack from Sangoro Shimada.

The winner has been decided.

After dodging more than a dozen slashes from Sangoro Shimada in one go, Ogata spotted the gap where Shimada was suspending his attack and adjusting his breathing, and aimed directly at Sangoro Shimada's chest and cast a bird sting.

Although Shimada Sangoro, who was stabbed to the ground, did not pass out directly like Hirano and Sato in the last two rounds, he was also surging in blood and temporarily lost his combat effectiveness.

After stabbing Sangoro Shimada down, Ogata still didn't listen to the sound in his head, and turned his head to look at the crowd on the edge of the dojo.

"Next."

This time, nearly 10 seconds later, another person came out of the line with a calm face and walked slowly in front of Ogata......

……

……

"Hmm——!"

A shorter Ishikawa Kenkan disciple rolled to the edge of the dojo like a juju and bumped into a few people kneeling here before finally stopping.

"Hah...... Ha...... Ha...... Ha ......"

Ogata gasped as he withdrew the wooden sword he had stabbed forward.

Then in a low voice that only you can hear:

"...... 9 ......"

The person who was directly knocked out of the field by Ogata just now is Ogata's 9th opponent and Ogata's 9th defeated man.

Since the first round of the competition with Ichiro Hirano, Ogata has played 9 rounds in a row, and has beaten 9 disciples of Ishikawa Kenkan in a row.

Although Ogata knocked out each of his opponents with a single blow, after 9 fights in a row, Ogata couldn't help but feel a little lacking in physical strength.

After all, the series of battles that Ogata is having today are not the kind of friendly exchanges that usually take place with the brothers and sisters in the Sakakibara Sword Hall.

Rather, it is a battle in which if you are not careful, you are very likely to be injured or killed.

Each of Ogata's opponents fought with Ogata with the belief that even if he was seriously injured or killed, there was no such thing as Ogata.

So Ogata also had to tense his every nerve and not dare to be careless.

After fighting 9 battles in a row, Ogata had begun to feel that his spirit had begun to tire a little and his concentration was starting to lose a bit.

But the battle is not over.

There was also a person who Ogata had to face off and didn't play.

Ogata waited for the guy to take the initiative himself.

But until Ogata has now defeated his 9 brothers, that guy is still hiding on the edge of the dojo, and he doesn't dare to go up.

Since that guy is so seedless, Na O can only use some brutal means to help that guy make up his mind to fight Ogata.

Ogata turned his head again to look at the crowd kneeling on the edge of the dojo.

Nearly a quarter fewer people are still able to kneel on the edge of the dojo now.

No one dares to fight Ogata anymore.

In the eyes of the vast majority of people now, Ogata's heroic posture of beating 9 people in a row and winning 9 rounds in a row is like the possession of the Great Myojin of Hachiman.

Ogata's strong skills have already broken the courage of most of the people present.

No one dared to fight again.

Wherever Ogata's gaze turns, the person who is swept by his gaze will quickly lower his head, not daring to make eye contact with Ogata's gaze.

Ogata slowly rolled his gaze.

Finally – let the gaze freeze on someone.

"Itagaki! Give me a game! ”
