Chapter 181: Chapter 137: Protecting You (2)

Myriad Sword Union and All-Point Control.

All-Point Control was practically useless in the current state of Extraordinary Being combat. It could only control Tier Four Extraordinary Beings, and a Tier Four could be dealt with in a single slap. Its greatest use was perhaps strengthening Su Xing’s physical body.

Myriad Sword Union,

this sword technique had some real merit.

It could fuse all the energy from the white swords created by Myriad Sword Return, forming a brand-new Energy Giant Sword.

At its maximum level, Myriad Sword Return could instantly create at least a thousand white swords. This was a level of power that could not be underestimated.

In terms of raw power,

it was definitely much stronger than the Sparrow Sword.

He wasn’t sure how it compared to the Black Sword, but at the very least, it could serve as his third blade.

The last time Su Xing fought the Spirit Lord’s remnant soul, he had been left without a weapon after shattering both the Sparrow Sword and the Black Sword using Sword Dissolution. Now, with Myriad Sword Return, he at least wouldn’t have to resort to using a green basketball hoop as a makeshift sword.

Just then,

the sound of footsteps came from behind Su Xing.

The steps were light and crisp on the wooden floor, indicating their owner was slender and moved with a steady gait, not weaving about or skipping around.

"Lu?"

Su Xing asked softly without turning his head.

"Coach Su."

"How did you know it was me?"

Lu Anning walked over and sat down beside Su Xing. A mixed fragrance of shampoo, body wash, and a young woman’s natural scent wafted into his nostrils. He glanced at her, smiled, and said:

"Because Xiao Yu would definitely be running and jumping, or muttering something. He could never be so quiet and deliberate."

"So, how are things?"

"Is Yu doing alright with his training recently?"

"Mm..."

Lu Anning hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying:

"His progress is much faster than when he first started."

"But it still feels a little slow. Coach Su, I’ve learned a lot from Yu about the affairs between Extraordinary Beings. This world is getting more and more dangerous. I’m afraid he won’t be able to protect himself."

Lu Anning and Xiao Yu, this pair of senior and junior disciples,

spent every day practicing their swordplay, attending classes, and exchanging insights. Despite the large gap in their cultivation levels and the few years’ difference in their ages, they had still formed a bond.

In a way, Lu Anning truly saw Xiao Yu as her own little brother, which was why she worried he wouldn’t be able to protect himself in the future.

"You’re almost at Tier Three?"

Su Xing glanced at the system panel beside Lu Anning, which was densely packed with records of her training progress, and asked softly.

"Ah, Coach Su, how did you know?"

Lu Anning said, surprised.

’A sudden thought occurred to her. If Coach Su can see my cultivation level, then my whole plan to break through without telling him and then have him come watch my match... wouldn’t he have seen right through it from the very beginning?’

At this thought,

her cheeks suddenly flushed red.

’How mortifying. The feeling of trying to act cool, only to have been found out long ago.’

Su Xing, of course, had no idea where her thoughts had wandered. He just subconsciously reached out and patted Lu Anning’s head.

The sudden contact made Lu Anning flinch, but she didn’t resist. Instead, she was like a docile kitten, quietly enjoying the gentle touch.

"Don’t worry, it’s alright."

"If Yu’s growth is slow, then let him grow slowly. I will protect him. And my brother. And you."

"No matter what this world becomes in the future, as long as you are still my disciples, my family, I will naturally stand before you to protect you."

His gentle voice, accompanied by his soft touch, gradually soothed Lu Anning’s anxious heart. She gave a soft "mm" and said no more.

"Brother..."

A voice suddenly called out,

shattering the atmosphere in the Sword Hall.

Lu Anning’s face turned beet red. A little embarrassed, she coughed twice and said softly:

"C-Coach Su, I’ll go back and watch over Xiao Yu."

"Mm."

After getting Coach Su’s reply, Lu Anning ran straight back inside. Only when her footsteps faded did Su Yu speak up with a grin:

"Brother, a teacher hitting on his student... That’s not very ethical, you know."

"..."

"You’re so young, what kind of things are you thinking about all day?"

Su Xing said, speechless.

"Besides... Yu, you’re a high schooler who’s stuck to Shen Ruyun’s side every day, and you have the nerve to lecture me?"

"Anyway, I was just comforting my disciple. There’s nothing wrong with that. Or is there some special relationship between you and Yun?"

"..."

Su Yu paused, an awkward look on his face. He scratched the back of his head and said:

"Our relationship is completely platonic."

"Alright, alright, let’s not talk about this. Brother, I came back because there’s something I need to tell you."

Seeing that Su Yu had dropped the subject, Su Xing didn’t press the issue either. It was all just playful banter between them, after all.

Su Xing did have a fondness for Lu Anning, but it was more the affection a master feels for a disciple.

After all, who wouldn’t like a disciple who was good-looking, responsible, and exceptionally talented?

As for Su Yu and Shen Ruyun...

Su Xing really didn’t know the details. He never had a habit of gossiping about other people’s relationships, not even his own brother’s.

"What is it?"

"The matter of the Spirit Realm anchor? Didn’t you already tell me about that in your message?"

Su Xing glanced at Su Yu and asked.

"Yeah, I did."

"But this is about the Spiritual Sect. It doesn’t have much to do with the Spirit Realm anchor."

The Spiritual Sect, the Spirit Realm,

a difference of a single word,

but the chasm in power between the two was astronomical.

The ones residing in the Spirit Realm were the absolute strongest experts of the Spiritual Sect.

This had caused Su Xing to focus all his attention on the Spirit Realm, and for a moment, he had almost forgotten about his old rival, the Spiritual Sect.

It wasn’t until Su Yu brought it up that Su Xing remembered the Spiritual Sect still had a surviving Vice Bishop.

Vice Bishop Jie.

The main culprit behind so many recent troubles.

"It’s about Vice Bishop Jie?"

Su Xing nodded in understanding, then asked softly.

"Yes."

"Are you guys going to hunt him down? You’ve found his location? How? Logically, he should have hidden himself very well."

Su Xing asked, confused.

"How we found him has to do with the Sequence of the Tier Five Extraordinary Being who went to stop him."

Su Yu briefly explained what happened while Su Xing was unconscious: Vice Bishop Jie had caused trouble, was driven off by a Tier Five Sequencer from the special organization, and had a Weakness Mark planted on him in the process.

[Sequence: Weakness]

[Attacking a location leaves a mark that only the Sequence holder can sense. When you strike the same marked spot twice, it will produce immense power.]

"I see..."

"He should be the last member of the Spiritual Sect outside the Spirit Realm. When does your special organization plan to eradicate him?"

"In the next two days."

"The special organization is actually getting a bit anxious internally. The more the Spirit Realm reveals itself, the more people feel its power. When facing an enemy of this level, we at least can’t allow them to maintain a presence in the Mortal World. Otherwise, we’ll be at a huge disadvantage."

The Mortal World.

This was the Spirit Lord’s name for the outside world,

and although its origins were unknown, the special organization had adopted the term as well.

Su Xing paced back and forth a few steps, seemingly in thought, then looked at his younger brother and asked:

"Are you going to participate?"

"So, by telling me this specifically, is there something you want me to do?"

"Brother, I want you to stay out of it. Not this matter, but the things related to the Spirit Realm that will come later. As long as you don’t get involved, with your strength, it would be no problem for you to survive with Lu Anning and Xiao Yu."

Su Yu hesitated for a moment, then continued:

"The Spirit Realm’s power is far beyond imagination. You’re not part of the special organization, so this matter originally has nothing to do with you..."

"Yu, are you kidding me?"

Su Xing frowned, cutting Su Yu off directly. For the first time, he felt a surge of anger toward his younger brother.

"..."

Su Yu was silent for a moment before saying, "I knew you’d say that."

After speaking, he handed something to Su Xing. "This is the location of the Spirit Realm anchor. It’s a core secret of the special organization."

"Brother, in the coming battles, Tier Six and Tier Seven experts will likely appear frequently. If you don’t plan on running away now, then you’d better be mentally prepared to die in battle alongside me."

Su Xing took the small map, studied it carefully, and nodded.

"I won’t die, and you won’t die either."

"Yu, I promised Mom and Dad that I would protect you."
