Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 274: Chapter 183: Connections

"Dad, what did you need me for?"

Li Yu asked as he and Li Longxuan walked outside the conference hall.

"Someone asked me for a favor, so you were the first person I thought of."

Li Longxuan said unhurriedly.

"A favor?"

"Who could possibly have the clout to ask *you* for a favor?"

Li Yu said, a little surprised.

All the people Li Longxuan knew well had moved to the Capital City after the war. There shouldn’t be any Sequencers in Cang City on the same level as Li Longxuan now.

Logically speaking, Li Yu couldn’t think of anyone who could possibly need his father’s help.

"This person..."

"You should be very familiar with him."

Li Longxuan shook his head and said, "I don’t know his real name either, but the special organization has no shortage of files on him. He’s the mysterious expert you all keep mentioning."

"The mysterious expert?"

Li Yu asked in surprise.

The mysterious expert had barely made any appearances lately, which had even made Li Yu start to wonder if something had happened to him. And yet, somehow, he’d gotten to know his father.

"How did he contact you?"

Li Yu was amazed. From his perspective, the mysterious expert and his father couldn’t be more unrelated. Although the expert’s talent had repeatedly astonished Li Yu, that talent had yet to be converted into real strength.

Besides, the two were from completely different eras.

Li Longxuan kept a low profile and rarely went out, while the mysterious expert had always been, well, mysterious. Logically, the two should never have had the chance to meet.

’Could it be...’

Li Yu suddenly remembered what Lin Yiming had said.

He’d said it was very likely someone else had also entered the Spirit Realm, but they couldn’t determine that person’s stance or hostility. The four of them couldn’t even figure out what the person looked like or who they were.

’Could it be that the person was the mysterious expert?’

At this thought, it was as if all the dots suddenly connected.

Li Yu’s mind, like a bursting dam, instantly put most of the pieces together.

’He might not be a hundred percent right,’

’but he was definitely close.’

’That guy...’

’What a fucking monster.’

Li Yu couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Li Yu had thought his own progress was already incredibly fast. With the level of combat constantly escalating, he, as the leader of the special organization, couldn’t afford to be weak, even if he wasn’t required on the front lines.

Therefore, Li Yu had dedicated a great deal of time to training.

His strength had risen accordingly, and he had gradually reached Tier Five Peak, just a hair’s breadth away from breaking through to the sixth tier.

Such speed was terrifying, but it paled in comparison to the mysterious expert, who had scared off a seventh-tier opponent in the Spirit Realm.

Li Yu even had a nagging feeling that the best thing he had done during his time in charge was to befriend the mysterious expert and not get on his bad side.

Because the mysterious expert could no longer be described as a mere genius.

From the time of his first appearance to now, only a few months had passed.

But his strength hadn’t just doubled or tripled; it had skyrocketed as if he were a completely different person. He was now on the verge of reaching the true summit, and even now, many within the special organization refused to believe it.

A rate of improvement like that was simply too inconceivable.

They believed the mysterious expert must have been incredibly powerful all along, just a wolf in sheep’s clothing, pretending to be weak.

Indeed, if Li Yu hadn’t personally felt the mysterious expert’s aura, he would have thought the same.

"The mysterious expert..."

"His actions... did you approve them?"

Li Yu’s mind raced through countless possibilities before he finally zeroed in on the answer. He looked at his father standing before him and softly voiced the question.

"Haha."

"You really are better suited for this job than I am."

Li Longxuan chuckled and said,

"If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have guessed that much. But, just as you said, I was the one who arranged for him to go into the Spirit Realm."

Hearing Li Longxuan admit it directly, Li Yu felt a little unhappy that his father had gone over his head. But he also understood that Li Longxuan’s prestige and authority gave him every right to do so. Moreover, he was his own father. So, Li Yu didn’t say much more, simply asking:

"What favor did he want you to do?"

"Just to have you raise the priority on the incident at Beilong Street. That’s all."

"..."

Li Yu paused. He had just claimed in the meeting that the changes there weren’t important and that the Spirit Realm was the priority. But his silence wasn’t born of embarrassment; he was simply considering what to do about the Spirit Realm now.

"Dad, are you going to stay?"

Li Yu thought it over and over. He felt this was the only possible reason for his father’s arrangements.

As long as the name Li Longxuan was presiding over things, the special organization would believe that Li Longxuan had the power to keep not just the Spirit Realm, but all of Cang City, safe and sound.

"Mm."

"In any case, just do as I say. I have something else to take care of, so I have to go."

"Something else?"

Li Yu froze for a second, then, as if in a moment of realization, he quickly said, "Dad, aren’t you going to that place later? Are you planning to take him with you?"

"Mm."

Li Longxuan didn’t hide anything, nodding directly. "He is an extremely important expert to Cang City, and even to the entire Xia Country. I believe he will be able to fully mature very soon."
