Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 177: Chapter 135: Seven Days After the Battle (Part 2)

"Thank you."

"Lu, you should go get some rest too."

Su Xing knew full well how demanding his own job was. He only pushed himself for the sake of leveling up, so he didn’t mind the exhaustion. But for Lu Anning to take over for a whole week like this must have been incredibly tough.

"It’s fine. Oh, right, Coach Su, Yu told me a couple of days ago to have you contact him as soon as you woke up. He has something to tell you."

"Okay."

Su Xing nodded. He was already planning on finding his little brother anyway.

He had been in a coma for seven days and had no idea what had happened during that time.

If nothing had happened, that would be one thing.

But looking at the situation now, something clearly had.

This gave Su Xing an itchy, restless feeling, like a cat scratching at his heart. Without hesitation, he turned and strode quickly out of the house.

Seeing Su Xing walk away with such a brisk, energetic stride—looking healthier than the doctor himself, despite having just woken up from a coma—made the family doctor’s composure crack.

Only after Su Xing’s figure had vanished from sight did the doctor murmur to himself, a haunted look on his face:

"This guy... Was he really seriously injured?"

"That can’t be right. When I came that day, he was definitely suffering from massive hemorrhaging, an abnormal heart rhythm, a deep coma, and signs of acute heart failure..."

The more he listed, the more unbelievable it seemed. He thought to himself:

’He’s perfectly fine after just a few days? That’s ridiculous, isn’t it?’

As a doctor from a major hospital, it wasn’t like he’d never treated those Extraordinary Beings from special organizations. But Extraordinary Beings were usually just patients with better-than-average constitutions. He had never seen anything as bizarre as this.

He could recover on his own without any treatment. What was the point of even calling a doctor?

He still remembered the first time he came here. He’d tried to give the severely injured man a saline drip, but he couldn’t get the needle to pierce his skin. In the end, it was the young woman next to him who managed to insert it.

Thinking of this, he glanced at the young woman beside him and asked:

"This patient... he’s an Extraordinary Being too, isn’t he?"

"Is his ability related to self-healing?"

"..."

"Yes. It’s the first I’m hearing of it too."

Lu Anning glanced at the doctor and nodded. She wasn’t exactly lying. Although she didn’t know Su Xing had this kind of ability, it did look a lot like self-healing.

"I knew it."

The doctor let out a breath. People like him always felt a need to rationalize things they couldn’t understand; otherwise, it would leave them feeling uneasy.

Now that he had an explanation for Su Xing’s condition, he finally felt settled. He glanced in the direction Su Xing had gone and thought:

’Is he from a special organization?’

’Or is he a wild Extraordinary Being? How did he get hurt so badly...? Oh, well... I’m just a doctor. This has nothing to do with me.’

"Since everything’s fine now, let me see you out."

Lu Anning offered, seeing the doctor lost in thought.

"Ah... okay."

"If... if there are any other problems, you can contact me. Here’s my card."

he said, handing over a business card.

Lu Anning took it and glanced at the information on the card: Lu Ran, Family Physician, Cang City People’s Hospital. They shared the same surname. Lu Anning smiled and said:

"Alright. I’ll see you to the door."

"Mm."

...

After leaving the room, Su Xing found a deserted spot and took out his phone. He discovered it was flooded with trending news headlines.

[MAJOR EVENT SUSPECTED IN CANG CITY!]

[SHOCKING! SNOWFALL IN AUTUMN! MULTIPLE RESIDENTS REPORT SUDDEN DEATHS OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS, FEARS OF IMMINENT CATASTROPHE! EXPERT JUDGMENT: RELATED TO EARTHQUAKE DAYS AGO.]

[EARTHQUAKE! NOT AN EARTHQUAKE! SUSPECTED BATTLE BETWEEN TWO TOP-TIER EXTRAORDINARY BEINGS!]

Su Xing saw that last one and had just tapped on it with his right hand when he discovered the trending topic had already been deleted. The special organization was incredibly fast.

Seeing these headlines, Su Xing finally realized that the weather outside had changed.

Before he fell into the coma, it had still been quite warm. Even though it was already autumn, most people were still wearing short sleeves.

But now, although the snow had stopped, the blanket of white stretching to the horizon gave Su Xing a dreamlike feeling.

He vaguely remembered... in his dream, when he faced the purple-haired man, it was also in a similar frozen, snowy environment. Could there be a connection?

What also puzzled Su Xing was, if it really was a battle between two top-tier Extraordinary Beings...

What level of battle would it have to be to make it snow in autumn, yet without making anyone feel the slightest bit of cold? It was simply unbelievable.

At the very least, with Su Xing’s current strength, changing the weather through combat was something he couldn’t do. The power of those two far surpassed his own; that much was beyond doubt.

’My current strength is far from enough.’

’I need to get stronger!’

Su Xing shook his head hard, pulling his gaze back from the distance. His focus fell to the phone in his hand. He opened Fly-Letter and sent a message to his little brother:

"I’m awake, Yu."

Not two minutes after he sent the message, Su Yu’s voice came through, filled with a mix of exhaustion, anxiety, and joy.

"Bro, you’re finally awake."

"Something came up over here, so I had to rush over to the organization. I couldn’t stay by your side. Your injuries aren’t serious, are they?"

"I’m fine."

"Just a small injury, I’ll be back to normal soon. You should tell me what’s going on over there."

Su Xing typed.

"Okay. This time, things are a bit complicated. Bro, do you remember the Spirit Realm?"

"Of course I do."

Reading his brother’s words, Su Xing’s heart skipped a beat as if he’d just realized something.

"Mm, that makes things much easier. To sum it up, the Spiritual Sect stirred up all this trouble to draw our forces away, all so an anchor point for the Spirit Realm could successfully descend upon Cang City."

"Did the Spiritual Sect succeed? Has the anchor point already descended?"

"They succeeded... but not entirely."

"The Spiritual Sect’s plan should have been a guaranteed success, but before Senior Li Yu left, he told his father. That allowed Li Daoshen to arrive in time and fight a great battle against It."

"We don’t know the details of the fight. By the time we arrived, they had already finished. Li Daoshen had some injuries, but it looked like a draw."

"Although the anchor point was forced to descend during their battle, and Cang City’s climate changed because of it, it’s not a huge problem. The anchor point is now under our control."

"Under our control?"

"How was that done? Also, since you control the entrance, is the special organization sending people into the Spirit Realm to check it out?"

Su Xing suddenly typed.

Seeing Su Xing’s question, Su Yu paused for a moment before continuing:

"That’s the Sword God’s skill. He can control the anchor point. We don’t know how he does it either."

"As for entering the Spirit Realm, the special organization is still discussing it. The anchor point is protected by a special energy that prevents ordinary people from entering. So, the organization is still considering if it’s worth it, and even if they send someone, they have to consider who to send."

"Are all the people from the Spiritual Sect in the Spirit Realm now?"

Su Xing continued to ask.

"No. According to our intel, Vice Bishop Jie is still on the outside. After fighting a 5th-rank member of our special organization, he used some kind of trick to escape."

"The special organization’s next primary objective is to capture Vice Bishop Jie."

"As for the others, they should all be inside the Spirit Realm. As long as we can hold onto the anchor point, the advantage will remain with us."

Su Yu’s voice was heavy with exhaustion, but it also held an indescribable confidence. After the Sword God’s return, the entire special organization was filled with this confidence, and this collective self-assurance had clearly rubbed off on Su Yu.

"Okay, I understand."

After typing his reply, Su Xing put his phone aside and gazed quietly at the scenery outside.

"Bro, from what I know, both the Sword God and the Spirit Lord are 8th-rank. Their power is terrifying to us. There will definitely be more friction in the future. You need to be more careful from now on, bro."

"You can’t be as reckless as you were before."

"Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Su Xing picked up his phone and typed a reply, his gaze drifting to the distance as he thought to himself:

’After I’m done allocating my points this time, I should prepare to advance to 5th-rank. With the strength of a 5th-rank, I should be able to hold my own against some 6th-rank guys, right?’

’The gap between 6th-rank and 8th-rank is pretty huge, though.’

Thinking of this, Su Xing clenched his fists, an unreadable light flickering in his eyes as his mind raced.
