Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 196: Chapter 144: A Tier 8’s Intuition (Part 2)

Using the phone was inconvenient and not secure enough. After something like this had happened, Su Xing wanted to see his uncle in person before making any plans.

"Alright."

"But you’ll need to wait for me for two days. I still have a few things to take care of here," his uncle’s voice came through the phone.

"Okay."

Although he didn’t know what business his uncle had, Su Xing didn’t press the matter. He hung up, immediately called Su Yu, and told him everything that had happened. Then, he stressed a point, saying:

"Yu, don’t leak anything about my uncle for now. Don’t even tell the special organization."

"Okay."

Although Su Yu was confused, he didn’t ask why.

He had always prioritized trusting Su Xing. As for his questions, he could just ask when he returned to the Sword Hall.

After ending the call, Su Xing sat on his bed, his eyes shut tight, lost in thought.

After a long while, he opened his eyes and said faintly:

’The dangers of this world far exceed my imagination... I have to get stronger.’

In truth, Su Xing wasn’t too anxious.

When the sky falls, the tall ones hold it up. For now, Su Xing wasn’t one of the tall ones, nor did he want to be. He just wanted enough power to protect the people around him.

But he was also a well-educated young man with a sense of responsibility to his country and its people. He knew very well that the special organization had to be informed about the Celestial Human Tomb in advance to give them time to prepare.

But he couldn’t let Su Yu be the one to tell them.

Or rather, Su Xing’s group couldn’t be the ones to inform the special organization.

Otherwise, with news of this magnitude, the special organization would definitely want to get to the bottom of things, and it would be impossible for Su Xing’s group to remain hidden.

With his power and growth rate, Su Xing had no doubt that he would become a top-priority target for elimination once the crisis truly began. Therefore, keeping his identity hidden was still extremely important.

But assisting the special organization was also extremely important.

’I have to think of a way to let the special organization discover the news about the Celestial Human Tomb themselves,’ Su Xing thought, stroking his chin.

Su Xing, after all, had never reached the eighth rank. He couldn’t comprehend the danger sense of an eighth-rank Extraordinary Being, which was almost like a premonition of the future.

In reality, the special organization didn’t need Su Xing’s warning at all.

The moment his uncle returned to the mortal world,

Li Longxuan, who had been living in the military compound, suddenly snapped his eyes open. He clutched the clothes over his chest with his right hand, an expression of extreme agony on his face.

The woman beside him jumped in alarm. She quickly took some medicine from a nearby cabinet, anxiously holding it out to Li Longxuan. "Old Li," she asked,

"Old Li, are your old wounds acting up again?"

"No... it’s not the wounds."

Li Longxuan took a sharp breath, forcibly suppressing the piercing pain. His complexion improved somewhat. He looked at his wife sitting beside him and shook his head.

"It’s not the wounds."

"Those injuries are decades old. They ache occasionally, but never this intensely. As for the wounds that Spirit Lord fellow gave me, they were just superficial. Nothing serious."

"Then what is it?" the woman paused, asking in confusion.

"It’s more like... a premonition of crisis."

Li Longxuan’s voice slowly faded, incredibly weak yet filled with an indescribable sharpness.

"A premonition of crisis?"

"Such a strong reaction?"

The woman was a little disbelieving.

As Li Daofeng’s wife, while she didn’t often go to the battlefield, she was still a sixth-rank Extraordinary Being.

She also experienced such premonitions from time to time, but at most, they were a mere flutter in her heart. She’d never had such a violent reaction.

But Li Longxuan wouldn’t lie to her...

Her expression suddenly froze, and she quickly asked:

"Is it those people from the Spirit Realm?"

"Or the Martial God Hall? Are they going to make a move against us?"

"It’s not them," Li Longxuan said, then added:

"It doesn’t feel like them."

"If it doesn’t feel like them, then who is it?"

Li Longxuan shook his head without a word. He slowly got out of bed, walked to the window, and gazed at the sky.

"The comfortable days are over. A new struggle is about to begin."

...

「Spirit Realm, Spirit Sect Hall.」

The Spirit Lord was lying unconscious on his bed.

Suddenly, an immense terror enveloped his mind. The Spirit Lord shot up, clutching his chest tightly with one hand, a sharp glint flashing in his dark eyes.

After his battle with the Sword God, the Spirit Lord appeared unharmed on the surface, but in reality, his body had sustained very heavy injuries.

This infuriated him to no end.

The Spirit Lord believed that he had only lost to a mere Sequencer because he was already severely injured. Otherwise, he would have been able to kill him in an instant.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

Now, to be awakened from his slumber by this inexplicable intuition sent the Spirit Lord’s rage through the roof!

He scrambled out of bed in a fury, but just as he sat up, his movements came to an abrupt halt. His body froze in place as if time had stopped. He narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself:

"It seems... this isn’t that person’s doing."

"This aura is so powerful."

"But why do I feel like this aura is a bit familiar? Could it have something to do with me?"

...

「Martial God Hall, in the core of the main hall.」

At this moment, a single old man sat there quietly, his face obscured by shadows.

He was dressed in an old man’s clothes and sat upon the throne. In his right hand, he held a thermos filled with vibrant chrysanthemum flowers. Every so often, he would take a sip, chewing the flowers completely before swallowing.

"This aura..."

"Has the Celestial Human Tomb truly arrived?"

"Sigh, I wonder if we can survive this calamity caused by my father’s past misdeeds."

"I have to hurry."

...

「Time flowed on.」

Although Su Xing and Su Yu hadn’t revealed anything, the special organization suddenly entered a state of high alert, as if they had received some news.

According to Su Yu, Li Longxuan seemed determined to prioritize the destruction of the Spirit Realm.

No one knew why.

Many within the organization disagreed, worrying that the Martial God Hall would cause trouble from behind. They suggested the special organization adopt a strategy of gradual attrition.

But Li Longxuan’s stance was resolute and unwavering, as if he knew something was going to happen in the future that made it imperative to eradicate the Spirit Realm.

Due to Li Longxuan’s personal prestige, even with widespread opposition within the organization, the special organization’s next operational plan was decided.

When Su Xing learned of this, he also found it very strange, but he didn’t dwell on it too much.

Instead, he focused his efforts on teaching Lu Anning and Xiao Yu, hoping they would have some ability to protect themselves when the time came.

「A few days passed in a flash.」

Xiao Yu’s hard work finally paid off. He successfully broke through and officially became a Martial Artist.

[Sword Disciple Panel]

[Sword Disciple: Xiao Yu]

[Age: 14]

[Gender: Male]

[Occupation: Middle School Student]

[Talent: Hero’s Wish (Inactive)]

[Highly Proficient Skills: Steadfast Heart, Copying Homework, Gossiping, Thick-Skinned, Sever the White Line, Thrust, Breathing Rhythm, Stance...]

[Sword Disciple Trait: Little Junior Brother]

[Sword Disciple Trait 2: Transcendent Progress]

Sever the White Line.

This was what Xiao Yu had gained during this period.

Although he had not yet advanced his Breathing Rhythm to Sword Breathing and couldn’t be considered a True Martial Artist, he had finally stepped through the gate of the Extraordinary.

[Transcendent Progress] triggered instantly.

Su Xing could clearly feel a surge of energy pour into his body, which he absorbed in an instant.

Xiao Yu’s current level was still too far from Su Xing’s. The energy from his breakthrough was, for Su Xing, better than nothing, but that was about it.

However, as Xiao Yu’s level increased in the future, the rewards he provided to Su Xing would also grow.

However, what puzzled Su Xing a little was that when Lu Anning broke through, her talent had unlocked at the same time. But Xiao Yu’s talent showed no signs of unlocking and was still sitting there, unchanged.

’Does it require some kind of condition?’ Su Xing wondered.

But he didn’t ponder for too long.

Because during this time, he had finally raised his Spirit Sword, level by level, to Lv. 6. He had now prepared the Sword Dao Points for the Spirit Sword’s final breakthrough. It was time to complete it.
