Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 242: Chapter 167: Spirit Realm

"Haaa..."

Su Xing’s eyes snapped open. He seemed dazed, as if he hadn’t fully come to his senses. After a long while, he finally moved his lips, which had become chapped from the intense pain, and took a deep, gasping breath.

"That really wasn’t easy."

Su Xing couldn’t help but mutter to himself.

"What about it wasn’t easy?"

Su Yu’s voice suddenly came from beside Su Xing. He glanced at Su Xing, brought in some hot food from outside the door, and said with a sigh of emotion:

"Bro."

"You’re getting stronger way too fast."

"If you think this isn’t easy, everyone else might as well just jump off a building. Even my own talent is considered pretty high, but it’s nothing compared to the speed of your breakthroughs, Bro."

’It really wasn’t easy.’ Su Xing wasn’t complaining about the speed of his breakthrough, but about the ultimate pain the system brought him during the process.

This kind of pain was something others couldn’t possibly imagine.

Of course, even if they could, it wouldn’t matter.

Everyone’s path to power is accompanied by pain.

Even if others’ pain wasn’t as intense as Su Xing’s, they still experienced it. He really had nothing to complain about.

"I was just talking."

Su Xing smiled and said,

"I’m actually getting a little hungry. Let me try the food you guys have here."

Seeing Su Xing get up, Su Yu didn’t say much, just pursed his lips and said nonchalantly,

"It’s nothing special, really."

"The Spirit Realm is highly classified, so regular chefs aren’t qualified to come in. We had no choice but to have a teammate who knows how to cook act as our chef."

"This was all made by Wang Yu."

"It’s edible, I guess."

Wang Yu.

When Su Xing heard the name, an image of him immediately flashed through his mind.

In reality, Su Xing wasn’t very familiar with him.

He had only met Wang Yu once, back when he first made contact with Officer Liu. They hadn’t seen each other since.

Thinking about all this, he suddenly felt like a lifetime had passed.

It had clearly only been a few months, but Su Xing had the illusion that an entire lifetime had gone by.

Putting these strange thoughts aside, Su Xing picked up the food and started eating immediately. Even though it tasted mediocre—worse than some ordinary takeout—he still wolfed down his portion.

After finishing his breakthrough, Su Xing was indeed starving.

"..."

Su Yu watched his brother’s display, slightly stunned, but he didn’t say anything. He knew that a Martial Artist’s breakthrough consumed a lot of energy, so eating more was definitely not a bad thing.

"Do you guys stick to three meals a day?"

Su Xing asked curiously.

The question had only just occurred to him while he was eating. Once Extraordinary Beings reached a certain level, they could reduce their need for food and sleep, eventually reaching a state where they didn’t need either at all.

Su Xing had always maintained the habits of an ordinary person; he was just used to eating three meals and sleeping once a day. But why did people in the special organization, especially those who could come to the Spirit Realm, also eat three meals every day?

"Yeah."

Su Yu nodded. "Senior Li Yu said that sleeping and eating help Extraordinary Beings quickly recover their stamina and replenish their energy."

"Of course, that’s not the most important reason."

"Extraordinary Beings have many ways to recover stamina and energy. The most important thing is that in a monotonous and boring environment like this, having these simple pleasures can keep a person’s spirit from collapsing."

"True."

Su Xing nodded.

The Spirit Realm was definitely a high-pressure environment.

This was the front line facing the Spirit Realm, where battles and death could break out at any moment. Most importantly, the area was covered in desolate, withered mountains. Just looking at it was enough to feel a complete absence of life. Living here long-term would naturally take a huge mental toll.

"Bro, are you ready?"

Su Yu asked suddenly.

The abrupt change in topic threw Su Xing off, and his thoughts couldn’t quite catch up. He asked again, a little blankly,

"Ready for what?"

"Duh, entering the Spirit Realm! Didn’t you tell me before that you wanted to go in?"

Su Yu said.

Indeed, before his breakthrough, Su Xing had told Su Yu about this.

Because Su Yu was the only person here that Su Xing could trust unconditionally.

It was just that after his breakthrough, Su Xing had momentarily forgotten about it. Hearing Su Yu bring it up, understanding dawned, and he quickly asked,

"Is it starting now?"

"Not yet, but it’ll be in the next day or two."

"For the next couple of days, Bro, you should just stay in your room and not go out. I’ll come get you once the organization gives the final confirmation."

"Alright."

Su Xing nodded.

He knew that following the organization’s advance team into the Spirit Realm would be extremely dangerous.

In fact, if he wasn’t careful, Su Xing could very well attract the attention of a Spirit Lord.

With Su Xing’s current strength, he was no match for a Spirit Lord at all. It would become incredibly, incredibly dangerous.

But danger and opportunity always go hand in hand. As long as he was steady and careful, entering the Spirit Realm would definitely have more pros than cons.

"Haaa..."

Su Xing let out a heavy breath, his eyes filled with an unprecedented determination.

’He needed to get stronger.’

’He had to become strong enough before the war broke out in earnest—at least strong enough to protect himself.’

’If he continued to develop at this leisurely pace, Su Xing wasn’t confident he could become powerful enough before the arrival of the Celestial Beings.’

’This gamble was one he had to take.’

Of course, while it was indeed very dangerous, Su Xing still had some confidence deep down.

After all, Li Longxuan was in the Spirit Realm. If something really went wrong, he would most likely step in to handle it.
