Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 195: Chapter 144: Eighth Order’s Intuition

"Because someone came back to life."

Holding his phone, his uncle quietly recounted what he had seen and heard. As he finished, his voice trembled involuntarily.

"Came back to life? What do you mean?"

Su Xing froze, swallowing hard. It felt as if his heart had been suddenly clenched in a fist, and a wave of unease washed over him.

According to his uncle, the Celestial Human Tomb was a colossal ancient burial ground from an era that had to be far, far older than even the Spirit Lord’s. ’If a being like that is resurrected,’ he thought, ’the devastation it could wreak upon the world will be even greater than that of the Spirit Realm or the Martial God Hall!’

"It means exactly what it sounds like..."

"Someone climbed out of his grave. A black hole appeared in front of his tomb, and I followed that black hole to get back here."

"But even though that person climbed out, he just stood there with his eyes tightly closed, as if he hadn’t fully woken up yet. He probably won’t be coming through that black hole to our world anytime soon."

"Xing, I won’t lie to you."

"I was in that world for many years and gained some Extraordinary powers myself. I came back this time to get you to run for your life with me."

"And Yu, tell her to quit school."

"The world is about to change drastically. To stay safe, we can’t be in crowded places anymore."

His uncle’s voice grew more agitated as he spoke. He began to unconsciously channel a special energy through his voice, and even over the phone, it made Su Xing feel a sudden wave of dizziness.

The dizziness lasted only for an instant.

But given Su Xing’s power, the fact that he felt it at all was astounding. This was just from energy his uncle had released unconsciously. At the very least, it proved that his uncle’s strength was not to be underestimated.

It was also proof...

...of just how powerful the Celestial Beings buried in that world truly were.

’If... they could all wake up...’

Su Xing immediately shook his head, casting the thought—one that could shatter the world’s order in an instant—from his mind.

"Uncle."

Su Xing calmed himself. His tone softened as he tried to reassure him.

"A lot has happened in the real world while you were away."

"You’re not the only one with Extraordinary powers in the world now. People with such powers have formed an organization to keep the peace. You don’t need to panic so much."

The real world had changed...

...at an unbelievable pace.

But Su Xing only told him part of the story. He didn’t mention anything about himself or Su Yu.

Although deep down he believed this person was truly his uncle, Su Xing felt he needed to see him in person before he could speak more freely.

Besides,

’Uncle is officially a missing person. I need to think about how he’s going to live from now on.’

’After all, when a missing person suddenly reappears, the police—and even the special organizations—are bound to launch an investigation. Given what Uncle has been through, the situation is even more complicated. I have no idea how a special organization would handle this.’

"Uncle, can you tell me about the one who woke up? Are there any distinguishing features?"

Su Xing gathered his thoughts and asked.

There was a distinct silence on the other end of the line, as if he was lost in thought. After a long moment, he spoke again, his voice hesitant.

"I don’t know why..."

"I only just left the Celestial Human Tomb, but... I’m having trouble remembering. It’s like my memories are starting to fade."

"I can only give you a rough description."

"He’s a man... What I remember most vividly is a tattoo on his forehead, something like an eye pattern, and a necklace made of bone."

"The necklace was crudely made and looked ancient. I’d guess... it’s from before the Zhou Dynasty, at least."

"The Zhou Dynasty?"

Su Xing’s voice rose noticeably.

’To Su Xing, a man of the modern era, the Zhou Dynasty was already ancient history. Anything before that was the Age of Myths, a time when history and legend intertwined. That was thousands of years ago. For a monster that old to be resurrected...’

BA-DUM... BA-DUM... BA-DUM...!

Su Xing could feel his own heart starting to race. He realized the gravity of this. This event could completely change the current state of the world.

’The Spirit Lord was only from five hundred years ago and was that powerful. What kind of power would beings from thousands of years ago possess?’

’Even if they’ve just been lying in their tombs, their power must be unfathomable. Fortunately, it seems they aren’t coming over just yet. That gives me time to get stronger.’

"Yes, it’s definitely the Zhou Dynasty."

His uncle’s voice came through the phone again, his tone serious.

"I studied this field in college, so I can recognize the general period. But I can’t determine a specific date."

"If you want to investigate this man, the eye pattern might be the place to start."

"The eye? What do you mean?"

Su Xing asked.

"In ancient times, people faced natural disasters and developed all sorts of beliefs. One of them was organ worship."

"Some tribes would adopt a specific organ as their totem. We could look into whether any ancient tribes used an eye as their totem. That might give us an answer."

"Okay..."

"Uncle, come to my Sword Hall. A lot has changed over the years, and there are some things I need to tell you. Just come here first."

Su Xing said after a moment’s thought.
