Chapter 93: I Just Want to Upgrade

"That's it..."

Ogata stretched vigorously.

"Then it looks like... I have to work harder... Try to become stronger before the action starts."

"Ogata-kun..." Cang Yong cast complicated gazes at Ogata, "I've heard what Flying Monkey said... you practiced sword very hard today..."

"Although practicing sword hard is a good thing, Ogata-kun, you must also learn to pay attention to rest."

"Also—although practicing swords hard now can indeed improve one's sword skills a little bit, but it won't improve too much."

"No matter how much you practice Ogata-kun, it is impossible to become a great swordsman with unparalleled swordsmanship in just one month."

"So, Ogata-kun, don't try too hard."

"If you break your body before the action begins, you will be in trouble."

To Cangnanaga who told him these advices, Ogata straightened his clothes, and then bowed respectfully to Cangnanaga.

"Yes, I will pay attention."

Although the tone is very respectful, Ogata's words are just perfunctory Kura Naga...

"By the way, Ogata-kun, this is for you."

After finishing speaking, Cang Yong waved to Fei Yuan beside him, and Fei Yuan immediately handed to Cang Yong the thing that he had been holding in his arms since just now and was covered with a piece of white cloth.

"Ogata-kun, this is the knife I... specially prepared for you."

After finishing speaking, Cang Yong tore off the white cloth above, revealing the things inside - a sword and a wakizashi.

"I bought these two knives at a large price."

"A precious sword matches a hero. Whether a sword is useful or not has a huge impact on the swordsman."

"The weight, curvature, and length of these two knives are all different from the knives you used to use, Ogata-kun."

"So these days, Ogata, you should practice a lot and try to get familiar with these two knives."

"My lord,

thanks. "Ogata was not hypocritical, saluted Cang Yong frankly and openly, and took the knife from Cang Yong.

The next time Matsudaira Gennai went out to hunt in the city was when their action started.

Maybe I will go hunting at the end of this month, or I don’t know when next month.

I don't know when the action will start, which makes the people with lofty ideals have a deep sense of crisis.

One by one, they practiced their swords harder in the dojo, trying to become stronger, and trying to increase the odds of winning even a little bit in the subsequent shocking action.

The seven Ogata are currently living in Kuranaga's mansion.

There are only a few things to do every day: eating, going to the toilet, sleeping, and practicing sword.

At least two-thirds of the day is spent in the dojo.

Maybe it's because the food has improved. In the past, Ogata felt a little weak after two or three matches with his brothers.

And now, after several matches with the rest of the patriots, I still have enough energy to continue practicing.

Or maybe it's because of the change in mentality compared to before, Ogata feels that practicing sword is not as hard and boring as before.

Whenever Ogata felt tired and bored, he would think of the faces and voices of his master and brothers.

When I think of their faces, their voices, I feel emotionally—power is like a spring!

There are a large number of guards around Matsudaira Gennai all the time.

When the assassination operation begins, the seven of them will face hundreds of guards in Matsudaira Gennai...

So——Ogata has only one thought in his mind now: upgrade.

Do your best to upgrade the "Wuwu Two Swords Style" who is good at one enemy and many!

"3, 3?"

"...Master, how did you reply to them?"

"How else can I reply? Could it be that I told them: I am ready to assassinate the pig master? I can only say some high-sounding words and send them away..."

"...My lord, when will Matsudaira Gennai start his next hunting trip?"

September 19——

Looking at the six people in front of him expressionlessly.

The six people standing in front of Ogata were none other than Ichiro and the others.

Holding the wooden swords in their hands, Ichiro and the others half-surrounded Ogata.

At this time, it was Ogata Di who tried countless times to defeat six with one.

Although they had a huge advantage in numbers, Ichiro and the others still acted as if they were facing a formidable enemy, not even daring to vent their anger.

The first person to move was Ogata.

Ogata stared at his hind legs, and rushed straight towards Saburo who was directly opposite.

Wakizawa held Saburo's sword, stabbed Saburo hard in the chest with the sword, and defeated Saburo with extremely smooth movements.

"Drink!"*2

Two shouts sounded from both sides of Ogata.

Jiro and Goro raised their swords high and slashed at Ogata who had entered their formation.

Snapped!

Ogata raised his two knives to block the attacks of Erlang and Goro respectively, then shook his hands, and after shaking the two knives away, two bursts of wind sounded at the same time. Erlang and Goro on the left and right of him.

Without giving Ogata time to breathe, Rokuro swung his sword at him.

Ogata slipped his feet and subconsciously backed away quickly with a strange footwork.

However—an accident happened at this time.

Ogata, who subconsciously retreated quickly, bumped into the wooden wall behind him.

Ogata, who had no way to retreat, could only watch helplessly as Rokuro's knife tip was firmly pressed against his chest.

"Qiro..." Liulang smiled slightly at Ogata, "You lost again."

"Hmm..." Ogata smiled wryly, "Yeah... I lost again. It's really difficult to fight with one enemy in such a small environment..."

"Yeah." Ichiro came over at this time and smiled and echoed, "As long as the space here is spacious enough, Shichiro can rely on roaming to continuously create a one-on-one environment."

"In terms of one-on-one, none of the six of us are your opponents."

"As long as you can turn 1-on-6 into six 1-on-1 games, then we will be the losers."
