Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 215: Chapter 154: The Beginning of the Great War

Getting stronger.

Easier said than done.

It was anything but easy.

Even for Su Xing, who had a system that made getting stronger countless times easier than it was for others, every breakthrough still came with indescribable pain.

At this moment, Su Xing sat on his bed, eyes squeezed shut and teeth clenched. Veins bulged on his face, a clear sign of his agony.

Just a short while ago, the energy Su Xing had obtained from his uncle’s seal had finally finished processing.

The amount was so immense that Su Xing found it hard to believe.

It was enough to upgrade three sword techniques to the fifth tier simultaneously.

This drastically accelerated Su Xing’s growth. And to think, this was from absorbing less than one percent of the total energy. If he could absorb it all, Su Xing couldn’t even begin to imagine what level he would reach.

Intense pain shattered Su Xing’s train of thought.

He kept his eyes shut, focusing on the endless stream of information flooding his mind and the waves of weakness that occasionally surfaced from deep within his body.

This sensation...

It was like pulling ten all-nighters in a row.

His heart pounded violently, and a sharp, aching soreness spread through his muscles. If not for the white energy of the Profound Sword frantically repairing his body, he would have thought he was about to die at any second.

[Heart Sword Stance]

[Sky-Piercer]

[Sword Shatter]

Three skill panels appeared before Su Xing’s eyes.

These were the result of upgrading three of his sword techniques: "Qi Sword Stance," "Sea-Toppler," and "Sword Release."

So far, these were the three techniques he was most comfortable with, and they were also the most impactful in changing the course of a battle. As for his other sword techniques, only "Drifting Snow" was worth prioritizing for an upgrade.

But between "Drifting Snow" and "Sword Release," Su Xing had chosen the failsafe power-boost of "Sword Release."

The improvements this time were immense.

Heart Sword Stance turned the sword in Su Xing’s hand completely incorporeal. Others couldn’t see it or even touch it. When it struck someone, it would inflict a kind of indescribable mental damage.

As for how effective this mental damage was, Su Xing would have to test it later to find out.

Sky-Piercer.

It wasn’t much different from its previous form, "Sea-Toppler."

But its power had become far more ferocious.

Just as its name suggested, it had gone from the sea to the sky. Su Xing had no doubt that if he could actually thrust it at the heavens, this one strike might truly be able to pierce the firmament.

As for the last one, Sword Shatter, its changes were perhaps the smallest of the three, but it was also one of the most crucial sword techniques for Su Xing in future battles.

This was because Su Xing would inevitably face enemies whose realms or strengths were far greater than his own.

To defeat or even just overcome these enemies, Su Xing could only rely on the power of Sword Shatter.

Su Xing found it difficult to estimate Sword Shatter’s improvement. However, he was certain that the power gained from shattering a single sword would be greater than before, and he now possessed the ability to shatter three swords.

Three swords...

Su Xing had a premonition.

The moment he shattered three swords would surely be a life-or-death struggle. At that point, he was even somewhat confident he could kill a seventh-tier opponent.

Of course,

confidence and reality were two different things.

He wouldn’t know how a real fight would turn out until it happened, but Su Xing never considered the possibility of losing.

Time passed bit by bit.

「At dawn on the third day.」

Su Xing slowly opened his eyes, and a slew of system upgrade notifications flashed before him.

Su Xing swiped with his right hand, pushing all the upgrade notifications aside.

But then, a notification that hadn’t appeared in a long time suddenly caught his eye.

[Congratulations! You have advanced from "Swordsman" to "Sword Hero."]

"A class upgrade?"

Su Xing froze for a moment.

The last time he’d upgraded was when he first broke through to the Extraordinary realm. Now, at the fifth tier, he had upgraded again.

But Su Xing had no idea what this class upgrade actually did.

"Whatever."

"An upgrade is better than no upgrade, anyway."

Su Xing shook his head and muttered.

He subconsciously glanced at his system panel. After this breakthrough, it had changed drastically, and many of the sword techniques on it had been renamed.

[Sword Saint Class System]

[Name: Su Xing]

[Age: 22]

[Class: Sword Hero, Sword Hall Coach]

[Sword Disciples: Lu Anning, Xiao Yu]

[Class Skills: Myriad Sword Union lv1 (76/100,000), Sky-Piercer lv1 (532/1,000,000), Heart Sword Stance lv1 (6721/1,000,000), Profound Sword lv1 (321/1,000,000), Drifting Snow lv1 (221/100,000), Sword Shatter lv1 (298/1,000,000), Touch of the Myriad lv1 (78/100,000)]

[Sword Dao Points: 4]

The data on the system panel was growing more and more complex, which meant Su Xing’s power was increasing at an unbelievable rate.

He slowly sat up, and a crisp CRACKLING and POPPING sound came from his bones and tendons, like a string of tiny firecrackers going off continuously inside his body.

A feeling of deep comfort welled up from deep within his muscles.

Su Xing couldn’t help but let out a groan of satisfaction.

Once the comforting sensation completely faded, Su Xing slowly walked to the mirror. The reflection showed a handsome man whose muscles seemed to be carved from ice.

Moreover, though he wasn’t sure if it was an illusion, Su Xing felt as if a faint white light was emanating from his body.

This layer of light was extremely faint and clung tightly to the surface of his muscles. Without close inspection, its existence was almost impossible to notice.
