Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 243: Chapter 167: Spirit Realm 2

Besides, Su Xing had great faith in his Heart Sword Stance.

He might not be able to win a direct fight.

But Su Xing was confident he could escape.

Even someone as powerful as Li Longxuan could only sense Su Xing’s general location; he couldn’t see him at all.

This gave Su Xing a lot of room to maneuver.

If something truly unexpected happened, Su Xing was sure he could protect himself and escape without any real harm.

Therefore,

this move, which seemed like a dangerous gamble,

was actually a risk-free way to gain experience.

"Yeah, that’s about right."

"Alright, bro. You just finished your breakthrough, so you should rest in your room for a bit. I have to go out. If anything comes up, I’ll definitely come back and let you know."

"Also, while we were gone, Uncle and Lu Anning were safe. Their security is guaranteed."

Su Yu spoke as he left. With a BANG from the closing door, his figure vanished from Su Xing’s sight.

Su Xing wasn’t worried about them.

Su Yu had already entrusted their safety to the special organization.

Although the special organization could be unreliable on missions, they were far better at providing protection than leaving the three of them alone somewhere.

’Hmm... I should check. I wonder how much stronger I’ve gotten after this breakthrough.’

After Su Yu left,

Su Xing slowly got out of bed. As he moved, a series of CRACKLES and POPS echoed from his body. His muscles felt like springs that had been compressed to their limit before being released.

There was a mirror in the room.

Su Xing walked up to it and gazed at his increasingly robust physique, feeling no particular emotion.

Before,

a white film had covered his body.

That white film didn’t appear now. This wasn’t a sign that his physical prowess had regressed; on the contrary, it meant his control over his body had grown even stronger.

After this breakthrough,

Su Xing could control every muscle and every inch of his skin with perfect precision. Naturally, the phenomenon of a white light appearing whenever he exerted himself was gone.

Now, Su Xing could make it appear whenever he wanted, regardless of whether he was exerting force, in combat, or any other condition or factor.

Not only that,

with a mere thought from Su Xing,

the white light appeared like a membrane. It then seemed to link together, encasing Su Xing entirely as a wave of air suddenly erupted from him.

However,

Su Xing reacted quickly.

He instantly brought the shockwave under control.

Otherwise,

the room would have exploded on the spot.

That would have definitely drawn the attention of the special organization.

’My Defense Power and attack have both gotten stronger.’

Su Xing murmured to himself, ’Most importantly, this ability is very discreet. I only need to cover the parts of my body I’m using to attack or defend, so it won’t alert my enemies or draw their attention.’

The physical enhancement was enormous.

But that wasn’t Su Xing’s biggest improvement this time.

This time,

Su Xing’s greatest improvement...

...could only be that sword technique, "Sword, Come."

Just by watching the little figure practice in the system’s training space, Su Xing could clearly tell how absurdly powerful this move was. Paired with the sword technique "Heaven-Piercer," the might of Su Xing’s single strike would be heaven-defying.

Unfortunately,

its power was too immense.

At his current level, it was difficult to find a place to test the technique. No matter how much he held back, he would definitely be detected by perceptive Extraordinary Beings, which would be a huge hassle.

’Forget it.’

Su Xing thought to himself, ’Once I’m in the Spirit Realm, there will surely be opportunities to test my new power.’

「Two days passed in the blink of an eye.」

Su Yu had been right; the special organization had indeed arranged for a small team to enter the Spirit Realm to investigate.

「Before the Spirit Realm Anchor.」

Veiled by his Heart Sword Stance, Su Xing stood silently beside four Sequencers who were about to depart.

All four of them were quite young.

Unfortunately,

Su Xing didn’t recognize any of them.

Li Yu and a few other older Sequencers were relentlessly lecturing the four on what to watch out for.

These four were not strong. In fact, you could say they were very weak, as they were only at Tier Three. In the Spirit Realm, they were practically noobs.

However,

they were wearing combat suits.

Those combat suits faintly radiated the aura of Tier Four Peak.

Tier Four,

while still weak,

was sufficient, since their mission this time was to scout the environment in the Spirit Realm and gather clues, not to start a fight.

So,

as long as they were careful, they should be fine.

What’s more,

Li Longxuan was watching from the shadows.

Others might not have sensed him, but Su Xing felt it very clearly—a faint but persistent pressure weighing down on him.

Although,

it was much better than the first time he’d met Li Longxuan.

But,

it still made Su Xing feel strained.

Su Xing strained to turn his body and looked toward the distant Li Longxuan, who was staring intently in this direction. Logically, he shouldn’t have been able to see Su Xing, but he had still pinpointed his location with his keen senses.

For a fleeting moment,

their gazes met in mid-air.

Li Longxuan knew what Su Xing was planning, but he trusted his own instincts. Since his intuition had chosen this little guy who didn’t dare show his face, he was willing to let him stir up some trouble.

Besides,

he was willing to act as a bodyguard for a while,

to prevent this little guy from getting himself killed in the process.

"Alright."

"The entrance to the Spirit Realm is open. You can go in now. I’ll reiterate the mission one more time: the objective is simple. You are to help us determine the specific terrain inside and the approximate location of the Spirit Lord."

"If you encounter danger, handle it if you can, but try not to cause a big disturbance. If you can’t handle it, run immediately. Your lives are the top priority, understand?"

"Understood."

The four nodded in response to Li Yu’s question.

At the same time,

Su Xing’s gaze also fell upon Li Yu.

Li Yu was more mature than when Su Xing had first seen him. It wasn’t a change in his appearance, but a change in his disposition, one that came from having experienced many things.

Furthermore,

Li Yu had reached Tier Five Peak.

Su Xing could sense it from his aura.

He must have just broken through to Tier Five Peak not long ago, as his aura wasn’t fully contained yet, allowing Su Xing to sense it.

Li Yu nodded. He took a long, hard look at the four of them, as if to commit their faces to memory, then said with immense gravity:

"The Spirit Realm... it is an unknown."

"To this day, our special organization has zero information about what’s inside the Spirit Realm."

"No matter how many times I tell you that the special organization can protect you, it’s ultimately unreliable and untrustworthy. No one knows just how dangerous it is inside."

"But..."

"You still volunteered to step forward."

"The Xia Country will remember your contribution. If you return safely, both the organization and the country will remember your triumphant return. You will all be our heroes."

"Go."

Li Yu waved his right hand, and the Spirit Realm Anchor before him instantly expanded, transforming into a swirling, growing black hole. Looking inside, one could only see endless blackness and nothing else.

The four seemed a bit surprised. They hadn’t expected Li Yu to suddenly say all this.

But,

they exchanged a glance,

their resolve seeming to solidify. Without a moment’s hesitation, they turned and stepped into the black hole, vanishing from sight.

Standing nearby, Su Xing watched the black hole and Li Yu’s technique, and he instantly understood why Li Yu was considered the most talented of his generation.

At Tier Five,

to be able to control space with such proficiency...

...was truly a rare feat.

Even Su Xing, without the system’s infusions, had only a half-baked understanding of space. At the very least, he had never tried to see if he could do what Li Yu just did.

’No more thinking.’

’Time to hit the road.’

The Spirit Realm,

the main base of the Spiritual Sect.

Su Xing had been entangled with the Spiritual Sect for so long.

He was finally setting foot on its soil.
