Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash
Chapter 194 - 143: Celestial Human Tomb (2)Chapter 194: Chapter 143: Celestial Human Tomb (2)
As for the Spirit Realm,
They had naturally sensed the death of Vice Bishop Jie and had also become aware of the Martial God Hall’s intervention.
The Spirit Lord was suddenly plunged into uncertainty.
Going to war with the special organization already required their full strength. Now that the Martial God Hall had suddenly struck and killed one of their Vice Bishops, the Spirit Lord had to reconsider the level of threat the Martial God Hall posed.
The special organization, the Spirit Realm, and the Martial God Hall—
these three factions suddenly settled into a strange balance. The originally volatile situation entered a cooling-off period due to the reemergence of the Martial God Hall.
However,
none of this had anything to do with Su Xing.
In the days that followed, Su Xing was either teaching class or discussing the Sword Dao with his two disciples. Lu Anning’s insights, in particular, often left Su Xing amazed.
Time flew by.
His Tier 4 Spirit Sword had finally leveled up from Lv. 1 all the way to Lv. 3.
Starting from Tier 4, every level-up required over twenty Sword Dao Points. These two upgrades had taken Su Xing more than a week, but the results were significant.
Su Xing felt he had grown stronger again.
His power was more ferocious, and his skin had taken on an ice-like quality, greatly increasing his ability to withstand damage. If he were to take another punch from Cao Qing now, he probably wouldn’t even need to use his sword release to endure it.
His muscles had been compressed once more. Dressed, Su Xing looked like a young man who had just started working out, but his muscle density had reached a terrifying level. It was no exaggeration to call him a monster in human form.
Most importantly,
the Sparrow Sword was gradually undergoing the same kind of transformation that the Black Sword had.
The Spirit Sword’s upgrade was completing the Sparrow Sword. Although it wasn’t fully formed yet, the Sparrow Sword’s power had visibly increased.
"Hooo..."
Su Xing let out a soft breath.
After Tier 4, each breakthrough began to take more and more time.
He would often start at night,
and by the time he finished, it would already be the next afternoon.
Fortunately, Su Xing had scheduled his time well and hadn’t missed a single Sword Dao class, managing to collect all the Sword Dao Points.
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
BEEP BEEP BEEP...
The phone he had set aside suddenly rang.
"Hm?"
Su Xing was taken aback by the sound. He didn’t know when it had started, but it had been a long time since anyone had called his phone.
His old friends and classmates—
Su Xing barely kept in touch with them anymore.
The occasional exchange would be a few lines in a group chat asking how things were going, but since Su Xing couldn’t talk about the Extraordinary world, the conversation would always end after just a few sentences.
As for Su Yu, ever since he’d mastered his telepathic sequence, he had also stopped calling Su Xing. If he needed something, he would just send a message directly into his mind—much more convenient than a phone call.
Over time, Su Xing had come to use his phone almost exclusively for texting, rarely for calls. This made him curious as to who was calling him now.
[Contact Name: Uncle.]
"Uncle?"
Su Xing stared at the contact name, stunned. His thoughts instantly drifted back to the distant past.
Back when their parents had suddenly passed away,
Su Xing and Su Yu had become two unwanted children.
Su Xing, being older and having lived a whole extra life compared to Su Yu, was more mature. He managed to pull them through for a while on his own.
At first, Su Yu was so grief-stricken that he caused all sorts of problems. None of their other relatives were willing to deal with their mess, but this uncle, despite his own poor financial situation, took them both in.
Su Xing and Su Yu were deeply grateful to him.
This life continued until his senior year of high school.
When the college entrance exams were over,
Su Xing was waiting for his acceptance letter.
He had finally gotten into a university he was happy with and wanted to share the good news with his uncle to make him happy too. After all, the man had raised him and his brother.
But it was right then that his uncle suddenly vanished. One morning, he made breakfast for him and Su Yu, and then he was just gone.
No one knew what he went to do.
Even the police couldn’t find him.
Later, after Su Yu awakened his sequence and joined the special organization, he also investigated their uncle’s whereabouts, but he had simply disappeared. The man was nowhere to be found.
All that was left was a "missing person" file.
"..."
The memories slowly returned. Although only a few years had passed, it felt like a lifetime ago.
Ever since he graduated from college,
and obtained the Sword Saint System,
Su Xing’s unlucky life as a transmigrator had been split into two completely different parts.
These memories had all grown a little hazy.
"Hello."
Su Xing answered the phone.
He only said one word, "Hello." It wasn’t because he wasn’t curious or didn’t miss him.
It was just that his recent experiences had reshaped his personality. He was worried this sudden call might be some kind of trap or a manifestation of a sequence.
It was just too...
A person who had been missing for years suddenly calling out of the blue was too strange, too bizarre.
"Xing, why so cold to your uncle?"
"And what’s Yu up to? I couldn’t get through to his phone. Let’s see, he should be in high school by now, right? How are his grades?"
"He’s not getting bullied, is he?"
"And you, your job’s going well, I hope? Found a wife yet?"
"..."
"Uncle... where have you been all these years?"
Su Xing was silent for a long moment. Listening to his uncle’s familiar yet rambling voice, he didn’t know what to say. After a long pause, he finally asked.
"Sigh."
The person on the other end of the line suddenly sighed, followed by a long silence. After what felt like an eternity, his uncle continued:
"Xing, you might not believe this, but I’m really not lying to you. I encountered something incredibly bizarre and unbelievable."
"It was... just like transmigration in those novels."
"Even thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."
"Transmigration?"
Su Xing was taken aback.
He had considered many possibilities, but never this one.
In the past,
he definitely wouldn’t have believed it.
But now, having witnessed the Spirit Realm and the unknown space where the Martial God Hall resided, Su Xing immediately made the connection and hurriedly asked:
"Uncle, how did you transmigrate? What did you see on the other side?"
"Well... it was that day."
"After I made breakfast, I was planning to go visit your father’s grave when I ran into a man in ancient clothing on the mountain."
"He was just standing there, staring down at the city below, I don’t know what he was doing. Every now and then he would let out a gasp of amazement."
"At first, I thought he was just cosplaying, so I didn’t pay him any mind. But after watching for a bit, he suddenly collapsed, and his body started to glow."
"That gave me a real scare."
"I immediately went to help him up."
"But the moment I touched him, a pitch-black portal suddenly appeared and swallowed both of us. And then... I transmigrated."
"And then what?"
Su Xing frowned and pressed on, "Uncle, what did you see over there?"
"I know you definitely won’t believe me... huh?"
It was as if his uncle’s prepared speech had been cut short. He froze, and it took him a moment to recover. "How can you believe me so easily?" he asked.
"What’s not to believe? The Spiritual Qi is reviving now. Uncle, you should just tell me what happened first."
"Alright, alright."
The man on the other end of the line was clearly intrigued by Su Xing’s mention of the Spiritual Qi revival, realizing that the real world had changed a lot while he was gone.
But at Su Xing’s urging, he continued to recount what he had seen and heard:
"The other side was a graveyard. There was a sign in front of it that read ’Celestial Human Tomb.’"
"There were many, many tombstones in the graveyard, with lots of text carved on them, probably introducing the owners of the graves."
"The writing looked ancient. I couldn’t recognize most of it, so I couldn’t make out much."
"But I realized that I was only able to get to that place because the man I saw was dying. I must have touched him just before he died, and that’s how I ended up there."
’Celestial Human Tomb, a man in ancient clothing, tombstones with ancient script...’
Various thoughts swirled in his mind, causing Su Xing’s brow to furrow tightly. After a long pause, he asked again:
"So, Uncle, how did you get back?"
"..."
His uncle fell silent for a moment before saying:
"Because someone was resurrected."
