Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 241: Chapter 166: Sword Come and Dustless

After all, given the current situation, there was no time to waste. He had to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

Thinking of this,

Su Xing’s eyes sharpened, his gaze as focused as a gun locked on a target. He mentally pointed at the three sword techniques and shouted inwardly:

’System, upgrade them.’

As the thought faded,

the system panel in Su Xing’s vision

immediately flashed a light blue confirmation interface.

This interface appeared with every breakthrough, so Su Xing was no longer surprised by it.

Su Xing glanced around.

After confirming that nothing was amiss, that there were no signs of impending trouble, and that Su Yu was not with him, he got back onto his bed. He just gave a slight nod and said, "Yes."

With Su Xing’s nod,

the Sword Saint system’s prompt panel vanished from his sight in the space of a single heartbeat.

What followed was...

His Sword Dao Points began to plummet like a stock in freefall, a sight that made his heart skip several beats.

Originally,

his one hundred and seventy-odd Sword Dao Points vanished in an instant, as if washed away by a current, leaving only a tiny fraction behind.

Soon,

the Sword Dao Points stopped decreasing,

finally settling at a meager ten points. It was a declaration of both where the points had gone and the power Su Xing had gained.

Then,

the three sword techniques Su Xing had selected began to blur almost simultaneously.

The blurring was incredibly fast, a convulsing distortion of black and white. An unknown amount of time passed before it slowly stabilized, revealing their brand-new forms.

Sword’s Advent... Dustless...

Su Xing murmured, seeing the names of these two new Sword Techniques.

However,

his murmur was immediately cut short by a wave of agony.

Just as Su Xing registered those words from the flood of system notifications, a violent, overwhelming torrent of information, as if seizing the perfect moment, surged into his mind.

The information about these two Sword Techniques,

was like a band of brutish thugs invading a home—pillaging, destroying, and stopping at nothing. Su Xing felt as if his own mind was being ransacked, churned by this tyrannical information stream, causing wave after wave of excruciating, stabbing pain.

However,

this was only the appetizer.

It was like the foreplay before hitting a home run; some people can last the whole game, while others are already spent before the first pitch.

Clearly,

Su Xing was one of the latter.

He felt the world before his eyes shatter under the force of that barbaric information stream. As the flood of data intensified further, Su Xing instantly blacked out.

This often happened to Su Xing during his breakthroughs.

Although Su Xing’s physical body could be considered powerful, he had no specific method for training his Spiritual Power. This was why every breakthrough was pure agony.

The sensation was like being suddenly thrown into the depths of the ocean. He was surrounded by darkness, and his body felt as if it were encased in something frigid. All he felt was cold, and he was completely unable to exert any strength.

This feeling lasted for a long, long time.

When Su Xing awoke again, it was as if he had been hauled out of the sea. His eyes flew open, and he shook his head, flinging away nonexistent liquid as he gasped for breath.

"Damn it all..."

"That feels absolutely awful."

Su Xing couldn’t help but complain.

He knew this was a necessary part of getting stronger, and that others had it far more painful and arduous than he did, but Su Xing still hated it.

He didn’t possess the noble, stoic spirit of the older generation, who would endure hardship for its own sake. If given a choice, he would much rather not suffer.

Sure enough.

Su Xing glanced down. He had returned to this familiar old place.

After so many breakthroughs—watching the small figure practice with its sword and killing Sea Beasts after each advancement—Su Xing began to suspect this place was a pocket dimension, similar to the Martial God Hall or the Spirit Realm.

After all, Su Xing still remembered what the Sea Beast that appeared during his breakthrough to the Profound Sword stage had said.

That, at the very least, proved this world had its own unique flow of time. It wasn’t like a game where, after a successful breakthrough, everything would reset for the next "playthrough," as if he’d just cleared a stage.

’Don’t tell me...’

’This place is an actual world?’

Su Xing wondered. But he quickly banished the thought.

It was simply too much to wrap his head around.

This kind of thing was the work of the system’s grand design.

Su Xing still had no idea how the system had appeared or how it allowed him to break through realms so directly. He didn’t understand its fundamental nature in the slightest, so thinking about these grander questions was pointless. Better to not think at all.

And indeed,

that’s what happened.

While Su Xing had been lost in thought for a few minutes, the small figure below had already begun practicing. It held the Black Sword, slashing forward again and again. Simultaneously, a giant white sword shot out in the same direction as the Black Sword’s slash.

Clearly,

this was the Sword Technique "Myriad Swords as One."

Based on his previous experience of consecutively upgrading Sword Techniques, Su Xing knew the system would process the breakthroughs for the different skills separately. Thus, he began to focus intently on watching the small figure’s solitary, diligent practice.

The little figure was an incredibly diligent practitioner, like a tireless machine. It didn’t eat, drink, or sleep. Even when it grew tired, it would only rest against a nearby rock for a few minutes.

Su Xing stood in the sky above, where his perception of time was different from the world below. Still, he could see the sun and moon cycle and the stars shift, which told him the small figure had been practicing for a very, very long time.

Just then,

a piercing sword cry erupted.

It was like a longsword piercing the heavens in defiance of cosmic injustice. The sound of the cry made even Su Xing’s ears ache.

When Su Xing focused his gaze again,

a larger, white replica of the Black Sword floated silently beside the one in the small figure’s hand. That new sword was like an extra limb, completely obedient to the figure’s command.

However,

every time it moved in the slightest,

it would emit that piercing sword cry.

Against a weaker enemy,

the sound of that sword cry alone would probably be enough to make them surrender, to say nothing of fighting the master of such a Sword Technique.

The small figure seemed to have completed its epiphany.

It suddenly clenched its left hand, and the Snake Sword appeared. At that very moment, a white replica of the Snake Sword also materialized. The same happened for the Sparrow Sword.

Su Xing instantly understood the effect of Sword’s Advent.

Then,

a wave of ecstasy washed over him.

A Sword Technique that could boost his power so directly and limitlessly—this was exactly what he needed. However...

I wonder,

’I wonder just how powerful this Sword Technique is.’

As if in answer to Su Xing’s thoughts, the small figure below crossed its swords and slashed forward. The entire ocean trembled violently as one gigantic Sea Beast after another burst from the depths, charging madly toward the figure.

But,

their bodies froze in mid-air.

Then, they all disintegrated into minuscule fragments that scattered across the sea. One of the Sea Beasts was tougher than the rest; with its final breath, its eyes filled with desperation as it roared:

"Who... who in the world are you?!"

VMM!

The Sparrow Sword shot out instantly!

BANG!

It pierced through the beast’s head.

Its final breath dissipated.

There were more than a dozen of these Sea Beasts in total, all of them at Tier Five Peak, with two even at Tier Six. Yet they had all been annihilated by that single move’s devastating, unstoppable power.

’Truly terrifying...’

’If I pair this with *Sky-Piercer*, I might even have a chance to slay a Tier Six Peak opponent with a single strike, right?’
