Last night, Ogata grew a lot - in terms of experience bar.

After annihilating the remnants of the bandits headed by Na Baoji, Ogata's personal level and Wuwo Swordsman style directly gained nearly 700 experience points.

What a pity - Ogata and Genichi annihilated the remaining bandits and returned to the gate of Yoshiwara, but did not meet any other "rats" again.

Because of this, Ogata was unable to gain more experience points last night.

But Ogata didn't feel sorry.

Last night, he was able to gain nearly 700 experience points - Ogata was already very satisfied with this. After all, when he entered the "big pit" set by Genichi last night, he was mentally prepared to return without success.

In addition to the nearly 700 experience points, what Ogata gained last night was the technical guidance from Genichi.

When trying to lure Ogata into his trap, Minamoto promised to Ogata that he would give him some pointers on swordsmanship to compensate.

And Yuan Yi fulfilled his promise last night.

After annihilating Baoji and his party, and returning to camp at the gate of Yoshihara, in order to fulfill his promise to Ogata and pass the time, Genichi taught Ogata some experience in using swords.

And what Genichi taught Ogata was the very move he used to kill Hokichi instantly—dodge.

When he saw Genichi use this "dodge", Ogata was attracted by this move that combines dodge and counterattack.

After packing up Baoji and others and returning to Yoshiwara's gate to continue squatting, Genichi further introduced his special skill to Ogata.

According to Yuan Yi - this "Flash Body" is a masterpiece he created a year and a half ago by combining the strengths of hundreds of schools of thought.

After learning that this "dodge" move was a new move that Genichi had just honed one and a half years ago, Ouchi couldn't help but immediately asked Genichi:

"Then if I use 'dodge' in public, no one will find out that I am related to Kinoshita Genichi, right?"

Regarding Ogata's question, Genichi answered happily: He has been very peaceful in the past two years and has rarely gone out much, so he has not made any new enemies.

There are only two kinds of people who have seen Yuan Yi's "dodge" move: everyone in Calabash House, and dead people.

Therefore, even if you use "dodge", no one will know that this is Kinoshita Genichi's trick.

After learning that "dodge" was a trick that would prevent people from finding out that you were related to Kinoshita Genichi even if you used it, Ogata became even more interested in this trick.

In Edo, where there are countless enemies of Genichi lurking, and when the "Gozen Trial Combination" martial arts test is about to begin, Ogata lacks such tricks that can be used boldly without fear of trouble.

.

After seeing the source generously saying, "If you want to learn, I'm willing to teach you," Ogata was not polite and readily expressed that he wanted to learn this "dodge" trick.

Strictly speaking, "dodge" is just a dodge and counterattack technique that does not belong to any school.

Ogata's system can only extract the martial arts of a certain school after reading all the martial arts, and then use skill points to unlock and own this school.

"Dodge" that does not belong to any genre naturally cannot use the system to directly learn this move.

Therefore, Ogata can only learn to "dodge" like an ordinary person.

Just like what Yuan Yi said after using "dodge" to kill the Baoji instantly - this move seems to be quite simple at first glance, but there are quite a lot of tricks in it.

The steps, the way the waist turns, the way the arms swing...there are quite a lot of skills involved in these.

It's just that - according to Yuan Yi, if you have the "steps" of the "Wuwo Swordsman Style" as a foundation, this "dodge" move will be much faster to master.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

Ogata's current "Step" level has reached "Advanced".

With the "advanced" "steps" as a foundation, when Ogata learns this "dodge", it is indeed much faster to get started.

In addition, Ogata's weight is not that heavy. If you have a light body, it will be easier to learn to "dodge".

By the time he returned to the hotel to rest, Ogata was able to put on a "dodge" posture in a decent manner. If he practiced hard for a while, he should be able to try to use this move in actual combat.

It wasn't until almost 2 o'clock in the morning last night that Ogata and Genichi sneaked back to the hotel to rest.

Ogata also felt a little sleep deprived because of this.

Because the biological clock has been set, Ogata couldn't sleep for a while longer, and his eyes opened not long after dawn.

The only ones who are used to getting up at dawn are Ogata, Genichi and Mamiya.

As soon as Ogata got up, he saw Genichi who had already woken up and started drinking, and Mamiya who had already woken up and folded his own bedding there.

After saying hello to Genichi and Mamiya, Ogata looked at Genichi who was drinking a small drink with a bit of surprise in his eyes:

"Mr. Gendai, did you... just get up too?"

"Yeah." Yuan Yi took a sip of the wine in his glass and chuckled, "I'll probably wake up a stick of incense earlier than you."

"Mr. Genichi... your body is so good that you don't look like an old man at all..."

Ogata, who was forced to wake up due to his biological clock, still had a tired look from lack of sleep on his face.

On the other hand, Yuan Yi is as energetic as ever.

I hugged the newly bought sake a few days ago and huddled in the corner, drinking it in small sips. It felt very comfortable.

As soon as he got up, he saw Genichi drinking there - Ogata was used to this scene.

Yuan Yi has good wine and a large capacity for drinking. In the absence of entertainment activities, the most common way for Yuan to pass the time is drinking. He often drinks for a whole day. Even if he drinks for a whole day, he will not get drunk. The real meaning

A thousand cups will never be poured out.

Genichi's overly energetic look reminded Ogata of Fuuma - his behavior was not like an old man at all.

While recalling Fuma, Ogata couldn't help but feel a little unhappy - why did everyone go to bed at about the same time and get up at the same time, and why someone at this age who could be his grandfather was more energetic than him...

"My body is indeed quite strong." Yuan Yi shrugged and said with a smile, "But I can only be strong for a few more years."

"People will always grow old."

"The body will always weaken with age."

"In a few years, I may not be able to drink as early in the morning as I do now."

As soon as Genichi finished expressing his emotion with a hint of joking, Mamiya next to him suddenly interjected:

"Master Yuan Yi, if you can stop drinking, you may be able to slow down the aging of your body."

"That's not possible." Yuan Yi said with a smile without hesitation, "It's impossible to quit drinking. Drinking is one of my biggest hobbies."

"I have never been afraid of aging or death."

"If I quit drinking just to live a few more years, I would rather lose those few years."

After that, as if in response to what he just said, Yuan Yi poured a large glass of wine into the wine glass in his hand, and then drank it all in one gulp.

Mamiya had already expected what Yuan would say, so he smiled and said nothing more.

Makimura, Asai, and Shimada are still sleeping.

The conversation between Ogata and Genichi just now was at a very low volume, so Makimura and the others were not woken up. Makimura and the others were still sleeping soundly.

Mamiya only got up a little earlier than Ogata, and had been concentrating on tidying up his bedding.

After folding his bedding neatly, Mamiya suddenly said to Ogata with a serious face:

"Ogata-kun, Mr. Gendai, you two come out with me. I have important questions to ask you two."

"Huh?" Ogata raised his eyebrows and his expression changed slightly.

The thoughts in his mind unconsciously drifted to the "rat hunting" between him and Yuan Yi last night...

Yuan Yi also had one eyebrow and his face changed slightly.

"Can't you say it here?" Ogata asked.

"If I say anything here, I'm afraid it will wake up Makimura and the others."

"……I see."

After Ogata nodded, he picked up his sword and stood up.

After Ogata stood up, Genichi sighed helplessly, then replaced the wine glass in his hand with his own sword, and followed Ogata out of the room one after the other, following Mamiya.

It was just dawn now, and there was no one else in the corridor except Ogata and the other three.

Mamiya, who was responsible for leading the way, did not go far after leaving the room. After walking to an uninhabited corridor some distance away from their room, he put on a strange expression while looking at Ogata and Ogata in front of him.

Yuan Yi asked:

"I won't talk unnecessary nonsense."

"Genichi-san, Ogata-kun, can you two explain to me what you did last night?"

After Mamiya finished speaking, a smile full of helplessness appeared on both Ogata and Genichi's faces.

——As expected, Mamiya found out...

When he saw Mamiya asking him and Genichi to come out together, Ogata vaguely guessed that Mamiya must have discovered that he and Genichi sneaked out last night.

"Mamiya." Ogata asked, "How did you find out?"

"I was woken up by Mr. Yuan Yi at almost the same time last night as you."

Mamiya spoke eloquently.

"After opening my eyes a little, I saw Mr. Gendai standing by the window holding his sword, looking like he wanted to sneak out."
