Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 160: Chapter 129: Sword Release Lv. 1

「Three o’clock in the morning.」

Dense, dark clouds pressed down upon the earth—vast, swirling masses that cast a gloomy pall over everything.

High-rise after high-rise was shrouded in darkness, not a single light on in any home. Anyone inside who looked up at the sky would have felt an indescribable sense of oppression.

「Southern Cang City, in a remote Sword Hall.」

CLICK—

The sound of a lock turning broke the silence. Su Xing, phone in hand, switched on his flashlight to banish the darkness inside the Sword Hall. With a twist of his right wrist, he bolted the door shut.

Su Yu and Shen Ruyun had returned exceptionally late. The door had already been locked, which was why Su Xing, who had been in bed, had to rush to open it for them.

After a brief chat, Su Yu and Shen Ruyun headed to their rooms, leaving Su Xing alone to lock up again.

DING—

The system suddenly chimed. The sound was neither beautiful nor moving, but it sent Su Xing’s heart into a powerful rhythm. THUMP-THUMP. He could feel his blood quicken in his veins.

He licked his dry, chapped lips and exhaled a warm breath, murmuring to himself,

’Finally. It’s finally done.’

The conversion of Sword Dao Points meant he could become stronger once again.

His experiences over the past few days had instilled a vague sense of crisis in him.

He didn’t know the source of this feeling, but his intuition felt tangible and real, keeping him on edge. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something monumental was about to happen.

This faint premonition left Su Xing somewhat agitated.

But he knew full well that the only way to stop this premonition from becoming reality was to gain enough strength—the power to look down upon all existence.

He followed the beam of his phone’s flashlight back to his room.

With a CLICK, a bright white light banished the heavy darkness. Su Xing’s figure emerged from the shroud of shadows, his powerful, vibrant form fully revealed in the light.

Su Xing set his phone down, flipped on the lights, and locked the door behind him. Only then did he return to his chair and drop into it.

[Energy absorption complete. Fully converted into Sword Dao Points.]

[Sword Dao Points: 79]

"Seventy-nine points?"

"That’s not bad at all."

Seeing the amount of Sword Dao Points he had gained, Su Xing’s eyes flickered.

It was just as he’d expected. While not as much as the Angry Vice Bishop had yielded, it was comparable to the amount from the Catastrophe High Priest.

It wasn’t a huge amount, but Su Xing had never been greedy.

Besides, over seventy Sword Dao Points were enough to advance a Tier Three Sword Skill. From that perspective, it was quite a lot. It was just... he still needed to carefully decide which skill to prioritize.

’Maybe I should go with Sword Shatter,’

Su Xing mused for a moment, making the decision internally.

His reasoning was simple: the effects of Sword Shatter were astonishing. A skill that could boost his combat effectiveness across the board was the obvious first choice.

It had side effects, but with Spirit Sword, they weren’t much of a concern for him.

With this thought, Su Xing solidified his decision. A pale blue system panel suddenly materialized in his vision.

[Sword Saint Professional System]

[Name: Su Xing]

[Age: 22]

[Occupation: Swordsman, Sword Hall Coach]

[Sword Disciples: Lu Anning, Xiao Yu]

[Professional Skills: Myriad Swords Return to Origin lv1 (1976/30000), Ocean Overturn lv1 (32/100000), Qi Sword Stance lv1 (5421/100000), Spirit Sword lv1 (1631/100000), Floating Snow lv1 (21/100000), Sword Shatter lv1 (298/30000), Star Point lv1 (378/30000)]

[Sword Dao Points: 79]

The moment the panel appeared, Su Xing’s gaze swept over his skills. As his eyes passed over each one, the corresponding Sword Dao insights surfaced in his mind, only to vanish as his focus moved on. Finally, his gaze came to rest on "Sword Shatter."

He took a deep breath and commanded inwardly,

’System, allocate points.’

As Su Xing’s thought faded, a confirmation window suddenly popped up on the system panel in his vision.

[Sword Saint Professional System]

[Sword Dao Points: 79]

[Allocate 72 Sword Dao Points to the professional skill "Sword Shatter"? Yes/No?]

Su Xing was beyond familiar with the Sword Saint System’s upgrade process. He barely had time to see the panel, the words still materializing, before he nodded and thought,

’Yes.’

WHOOSH—

The seventy-nine Sword Dao Points on the system panel were instantly spent, leaving only a solitary "7" behind.

Immediately after, the proficiency numbers next to "Sword Shatter" blurred. Then, like a bungee cord snapping back, the points skyrocketed, surging and exploding upwards by hundreds at a time!

One after another, system notifications appeared before his eyes.

[Your professional skill "Sword Shatter lv1" has been upgraded to "Sword Shatter lv2".]

[Your professional skill "Sword Shatter lv2" has been upgraded to "Sword Shatter lv3".]

[Your professional skill "Sword Shatter lv3" has been upgraded to "Sword Shatter lv4".]

[Your professional skill "Sword Shatter lv6" has advanced to "Sword Unravel lv1".]

[Professional Skill: Sword Unravel lv1 (1/100000)]

The endless stream of system alerts and the succession of pop-up panels left Su Xing feeling a bit dazzled.
