Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 268: Chapter 180: Are There Ghosts in the World?

HUFF.

’Time to prepare for my breakthrough.’

Su Xing’s eyes narrowed slightly as he sat cross-legged on his bed, thinking to himself.

In front of him,

a pale blue system interface hovered quietly.

[Sword Saint Profession System]

[Name: Su Xing]

[Age: 22]

[Profession: Sword Hero, Sword Hall Coach]

[Sword Disciples: Lu Anning, Xiao Yu]

[Professional Skills: Sword Summon lv. 1 (1576/1,000,000), Heaven Piercer lv. 1 (1532/1,000,000), Heart Sword Stance lv. 1 (19721/1,000,000), Profound Dao Breathing Technique lv. 1 (21/1,500,000), Dustless lv. 1 (5221/1,000,000), Sword Collapse lv. 1 (11298/1,000,000), Point lv. 1 (178/150,000)]

[Sword Dao Points: 178]

"Hm?"

Su Xing suddenly realized that the originally Tier Four "Point of Myriad Manifestations" had fused and evolved into the Tier Five sword skill "Point." As a result, all of his skills were now Tier Five.

’Time to prepare for the breakthrough to Tier Six.’

Su Xing muttered to himself.

This trip to the Spirit Realm had greatly accelerated Su Xing’s path to advancement. If he had stayed at the Sword Hall, it probably would have taken him another half a month to reach this level.

By then,

the situation might have been completely different.

HUFF.

Su Xing let out a soft breath. He could feel that since his Profound Sword had transformed into the Profound Dao Breathing Technique, his body seemed to possess a new, indescribable sensation he had never experienced before.

Not only that,

his physical body had also been enhanced.

The three swords he carried had become exceptionally sharp.

And of course, there was the sword skill "Point."

This was Su Xing’s most unexpected upgrade. He didn’t feel its effect had grown stronger; in fact, it seemed to be evolving toward something simpler.

It gave him a sense of "the formless defeats the formed."

However, Su Xing wasn’t yet sure if this change

was for the better or for the worse.

After all, his techniques had always been known for their direct, brute force. If his sword skills evolved to the point of "returning to simplicity," he wasn’t sure if it would affect his current offensive style.

Still,

there were some definite advantages he could identify for now.

This breakthrough had removed a restriction that had always troubled him: the skill could previously only be used on people of the same or lower tier. Now, "Point" could finally control enemies of any tier.

Although its effect would weaken against enemies of a much higher tier than his own, it was still a massive improvement. At the very least, this sword skill was finally useful in a broader sense.

In fact,

Su Xing’s combat prowess would likely see another huge surge because of it.

Although Su Xing was still at Tier Five, his true strength had already far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Six Martial Artist. With this latest major upgrade, he suspected that only someone at Tier Six Peak could exchange a couple of moves with him.

Su Xing was now just one final step away from becoming a truly supreme expert.

As long as

Su Xing could defeat a Tier Seven opponent,

he would possess formidable power in future battles, to the point where no one would dare ignore or underestimate him.

However,

Su Xing felt no arrogance.

He knew full well that his strength was still far from enough to look down on the whole world. The danger he faced just a few days ago when he encountered Li Qing was a stark reminder. If Li Qing hadn’t been scared off, Su Xing wasn’t confident he would have won a real fight.

Besides,

there was that other time—

the powerful palm strike that had come from afar when he was breaking through to Tier Five. That alone proved there were many experts of that caliber within the Martial God Hall, and even more people who were stronger than him. He had to remain grounded.

Of course,

growing stronger was still something to be happy about.

’Time to focus on breaking through with the Profound Dao Breathing Technique. This skill was fused from the martial arts manual left behind in Luocheng. I wonder if it will change somehow after the breakthrough.’

With this in mind,

Su Xing calmed his mind

and prepared to give Su Yu some instructions.

This was because

his previous breakthroughs had been taking longer and longer.

He didn’t know how long it would take to break through from Tier Five to Tier Six—it might take two or three days. He needed to make arrangements with his younger brother for that period.

After all,

this was the Spirit Realm,

not his Sword Hall.

"Hmm..."

’It seems Su Yu went out.’

Su Xing glanced around but didn’t see Su Yu’s familiar figure. It seemed he had slipped out for some reason while Su Xing was teaching his students online.

’Did something happen?’

Doubt immediately rose in Su Xing’s mind.

Su Yu went out often,

but since arriving here, he had pretty much stayed put every day.

Normally, Su Yu would explain the situation clearly before leaving, but this time he had left in a hurry. Since Su Xing had been in the middle of his class, he hadn’t thought much of it.

Looking back now,

Su Xing realized something was wrong.

"..."

Su Xing paused, then shook his head with a hint of regret. "Forget it. I’ll hold off on the breakthrough for now. Figuring out what happened is more important."

Su Xing took out his phone

and sent a message to Su Yu.

But while he was waiting for a reply, he didn’t hear back from Su Yu. Instead, he received a message from Lu Anning.

"Coach Su..."

"Are there ghosts in this world?"

"Are you in some kind of trouble?"

Su Xing immediately realized she must be.

But Lu Anning should be with Xiao Yu and his uncle. If they were in danger, why hadn’t his uncle contacted him?

"..."

"It’s not really trouble."

"Coach Su, just answer me first. From your perspective, at your tier, do ghosts exist in this world?"

Lu Anning asked again.
