For Ogata, the upgraded notification sound is extremely pleasant.

Ogata dared to swear that this was the longest system beep he had ever heard since he came to the Edo period.

All kinds of unfamiliar information dazzled Ogata.

——Exclusive skill points? What is this?

Ogata thought to himself suspiciously.

——Why didn’t you give me this thing when Sakakibara’s swordsman leveled up?

——Could it be that... These martial arts schools have to wait for a certain level before they can get these exclusive skill points...?

While Ogata was still confused by the sudden pile of strange information, Itagaki's other three partners rushed forward and helped Itagaki who had fallen to the ground.

"Itagaki, are you alright?"

"Are you hurt?"

...

With the support of three companions, Itagaki said while covering his right shoulder that was hit just now:

"I'm fine..."

After confirming that Itagaki was fine, his three companions breathed a sigh of relief.

Afterwards, the three of them turned their heads in unison and glared at Ogata.

"You bastard...!" One of them gritted his teeth and stared at Ogata.

At this time, Ogata also temporarily pulled his thoughts away from the confusion about the large number of unfamiliar system sounds just now, and turned his thoughts back to reality.

"Why?" Ogata looked at them with calm eyes, "I and him had an upright duel, and then I won upright - is there anything unconvinced?"

Itagaki's three companions faltered, as if trying to think of some suitable words to reprimand Ogata.

But after thinking for a long time, none of Itagaki's three companions could say a word.

Because what Ogata said just now is very reasonable.

Ogata and Itagaki are an upright duel.

No one is playing tricks.

The two confronted each other dignifiedly, and Ogata won dignifiedly——there was nothing to criticize.

After thinking for a long time but failing to come up with a word that could be used to angrily reprimand Ogata, the three fled the place quickly with Itagaki supported.

When fleeing, those three people did not forget to put down a cruel sentence:

"You bastard! Wait for me!"

Facing their "ruthless words" that were almost bluffing, Ogata didn't take it seriously at all.

After they completely left Ogata's field of vision, Ogata finally remembered an important thing.

That is - that Itagaki hasn't apologized to Ah Fu yet.

"Hey! Don't run! You haven't apologized yet!"

While shouting, Ogata quickly picked up the sword he had put aside just now, put the sword back into its sheath, and prepared to chase Itagaki and the others.

However, before Ogata had time to run a few steps, Ah Fu's voice suddenly entered Ogata's ears:

"It's okay! Ogata-sama! Don't chase them! After seeing you beat that guy up, I'm not angry anymore!"

Hearing Ah Fu's shout, Ogata slowly stopped in his tracks.

"But..." Ogata hesitated.

Ogata hadn't had time to finish speaking.

Ah Fu, who was standing not far away, smiled at Xu Fang:

"It's okay, I've calmed down, so I don't need their apology anymore."

"And—I don't want to see them again."

Seeing that Ah Fu said so, Ogata could only give up.

The group of spectators just now, seeing that the good show of the samurai duel was over, they all dispersed.

In twos and threes, they returned to the floating house and continued to drink.

And Ogata also returned to his workplace - sitting at the gate of Liuya.

After sitting down at the gate of Liuwu, Xufang couldn't wait to open his system interface.

Through the Datong system sound just now, Ogata understood that the system in his mind still has many functions waiting for him to explore and develop slowly.

The functions carried by the system far exceeded Ogata's initial vision.

Looking at his own system interface, Ogata thought to himself:

——When I just defeated Itagaki, my personal experience points were 60 points, and Sakakibara's experience points were 80 points...

——For defeating Makino once, only 20 points will be added to the personal experience value and the experience value of the sword skill genre...

——Defeating that Itagaki, why can I get so many experience points...

——The experience points obtained after defeating Itagaki even surpassed the experience points obtained after defeating senior brother Mikami...

——But that Itagaki's strength is definitely not as strong as Mikami's brother...

When hearing the series of system sounds in his mind just now, Oo conveniently and keenly discovered a problem - when defeating Itagaki, the experience points obtained seemed to be too much.

It directly upgrades both Ogata's personal level and Sakakibara Ichidou's level.

Ogata originally thought that the amount of experience points he gained was related to the strength of the enemies he faced.

The stronger the enemy, the higher the experience points you will get after defeating him.

The weaker the enemy, the less experience points you get for defeating them.

But now it seems that Ogata's assumption seems to be wrong.

The amount of experience points gained after defeating the enemy does not seem to be only related to the strength of the enemy.

That Itagaki's strength is definitely not as strong as Mikami's, but the experience points obtained after defeating him far exceed the experience points obtained from defeating Mikami.

Ogata pondered for a while, and finally came up with a reasonable explanation on his own.

The amount of experience points gained after defeating the enemy should also be related to the enemy's "killing intent".

When they competed with Makino and Mikami, they all came to compete with Ogata with a friendly attitude and didn't want to hurt Ogata.

Because their swords have no killing intent, they don't get much experience points.

But the Itagaki just now was not like this.

Itagaki didn't come to fight Ogata with any kindness.

He came to compete with Ogata with the attitude that he would not hesitate to hurt Ogata.

Itagaki's sword has a heavier "killing intent".

Therefore, after defeating Itagaki, the experience points obtained will far exceed the experience points obtained after defeating Mikami.

Although I don't know whether my inference is correct, but this is the most reasonable explanation that Ogata can come up with for the question "why do you gain so much experience from defeating Itagaki?"

After solving the problem of experience value, Ogata turned his attention to the next problem.

That is to say, an unfamiliar vocabulary that I just learned in the system voice - exclusive skill points.
