Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 176: Chapter 135: Seven Days After the Battle

A dream. It was another dream.

This time, the dream’s content was not much different from the last.

The only two differences were that the purple-haired man’s face was much clearer, and the opponents Su Xing fought had changed from a line of Spiritualist Followers to one bizarrely shaped monster after another.

Su Xing had never seen such monsters before. He was standing in a land of ice and snow, fighting for his life. He fought a bloody battle, killing countless monsters until their blood stained the snow red, but they seemed to be an endless tide, impossible to fully exterminate.

Then, exhausted, Su Xing made a mistake. The instant a monster’s blow landed, he snapped awake.

"So... comfortable..."

Yes, comfortable. The first thing Su Xing felt upon waking was comfort.

He had never felt his body and mind so relaxed, so utterly at ease. It was like an office drone who, after a month of non-stop overtime, was suddenly granted a ten-day vacation and slept for three straight days and nights. His mind felt exceptionally clear.

Only then did he notice the white ceiling and the familiar scent filling the room. It was the clean fragrance of wood, an aroma built up over years by countless wooden swords—the scent he knew best of all.

’I’m back at the Sword Hall.’

Su Xing suddenly realized this and thought to himself:

’I wonder if anything happened after I passed out. I need to go out and ask someone.’

However, Su Xing didn’t rush to climb out of bed. Instead, he first checked his physical condition.

He found that he still had some aches and pains all over, but they were very minor. The "Spirit Sword" must have healed most of the damage.

Even without further treatment from the Spirit Sword, such minor injuries would completely heal in a day at most.

"Thank god for out-of-combat healing..."

Su Xing couldn’t help but sigh with emotion.

He knew very well just how severe his injuries had been before he lost consciousness.

Forcibly shattering two swords without having tested it first had placed far too great a burden on his body. At that moment, he had definitely been only a hair’s breadth from death.

Thankfully, the existence of the "Spirit Sword" gave him a greater margin for error.

To be almost completely healed from such severe injuries after just a long sleep—such a freakish recovery ability truly made Su Xing feel fortunate.

Su Xing struggled a bit to climb out of bed. He noticed a red stain on his sheets, likely left there when he was first brought back. It was right under where his body had been, making it awkward for anyone else to change them.

’I’ll have to find time to change the sheets myself. A red stain on a grown man’s bed... if anyone saw it, they might think I brought a young lady home.’

Just then, the door was suddenly opened.

Lu Anning walked in with a family doctor, with the small figure of Xiao Yu trailing behind them.

Lu Anning was in the middle of asking the doctor when her coach might wake up when she suddenly saw Su Xing sitting quietly on the edge of his bed.

She cried out, a little emotional:

"Coach Su, you’re awake!"

"You need to lie back down! Don’t move! You’ve just recovered from a serious illness; it’s too dangerous to sit up like this!"

As the family doctor spoke, he tried to push Su Xing back down onto the bed.

But when he pressed his right hand on Su Xing’s shoulder, it was like pushing against an immovable wall. No matter how much force he used, Su Xing didn’t budge. He tried again with both hands, but the result was the same.

This made him look as if he’d seen a ghost. ’How can someone who was so badly injured have this much strength right after waking up?!’

"Ahem. You seem to be in high spirits," the family doctor said with a light cough and a smile.

"I can feel my own condition, Doctor. I’m fine now."

Su Xing smiled back, casually pushed away the doctor’s hands from his shoulders, and stood up from the bed. He turned to Lu Anning and asked:

"Lu, did you call this doctor? And where’s my brother?"

"I called him."

"Coach Su, Yu had to leave suddenly on the second day for something urgent. It was just me and Xiao Yu left at the Sword Hall. You weren’t waking up, so I got a little worried and called a doctor."

’The second day? Left?’

’Did something happen?’

Su Xing’s mind instantly seized on those words. He asked:

"How long was I out?"

"It’s been a week. Exactly seven days," Lu Anning replied.

"Seven days?!?!"

Su Xing was aghast. His first thought was that he had lost out on seven days’ worth of Sword Dao Points. The realization made his heart clench. ’What a fucking huge loss!!!’

Spurred by that thought, Su Xing subconsciously glanced at his system panel, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

The reason was simple: the Sword Dao Points he’d gained from absorbing energy this time were truly substantial.

Advancing at least two sword techniques wouldn’t be a problem. Suddenly, losing seven days of Sword Dao Points didn’t seem like such a big deal anymore.

Seeing the rapid changes in Su Xing’s expression, Lu Anning thought he was worried about his brother and the Sword Hall, so she tried to comfort him in a soft voice:

"Coach Su, we’ve been in contact with Su Yu, he’s fine. It seems like something has happened outside, though. As for the Sword Hall, I’ve been managing it these past few days and have covered all your classes, so you don’t need to worry too much."
