Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 275: Chapter 183: Connections (Part 2)

"Therefore, it’s very necessary for him to meet the other powerhouses and dignitaries of this world ahead of time."

Li Longxuan was talking about the Assembly of Organizations.

It was a recurring conference for every city, a forum to discuss their development and current challenges.

Previously,

Li Longxuan and his son had always gone together.

But now Li Yu had to manage the Spirit Realm and couldn’t attend, so Li Longxuan decided to take Su Xing, giving him a chance to glimpse the wider world ahead of schedule.

If,

in the future, Su Xing were to join the war,

he would inevitably have to interact with people from other special organizations.

Thus,

this was also something Li Longxuan had deliberately arranged.

"..."

"I understand."

Li Yu nodded.

"But, from what I know," he said,

"the special organization from the Capital City is up to something; they don’t plan to attend the conference this time. Even if that mysterious expert goes, it will probably just be a relatively small gathering."

"Isn’t that perfect?"

Li Longxuan smiled.

"He’s always so secretive. If I really asked him to accompany me to some grand, bustling conference, he would never agree, would he? Besides, this is just the beginning."

"Li Yu."

"You are the leader I trained."

"But your talent is far from my own. For the sake of Cang City, for Xia Country, and for even greater causes, I must choose a truly gifted warrior with immense potential."

"As long as he is with us,"

"The mountain will always be the mountain—facing the frost, standing firm and unmoving."

"..."

"I know."

Li Yu nodded.

"Mm."

Li Longxuan let out a soft hum and glanced at Li Yu. His tone finally softened a bit as he spoke.

"When this is over,"

"I’ll call your brother back, and we’ll all have a meal together. Your mother has been very worried about you boys recently."

That was true.

His eldest son was with the special organization in the Capital City.

But that organization had been up to something unknown lately, not even sending anyone to the assembly. There had been no news at all. How could their mother not worry?

His second son was stationed in the Spirit Realm—a dangerous junction point where battle could erupt at any moment. No one would want their son in such a place.

But,

no one would persuade them to come home.

This was the path they had willingly chosen for themselves.

"I understand," Li Yu said with a nod.

...

Su Xing.

He sat alone for about ten minutes.

It wasn’t a long time. With his current realm, passing the time was all too easy. He just had to practice his martial arts for a bit, and time would flow by like water.

But,

in order not to miss Li Longxuan,

Su Xing remained seated on the cold ground, meditating with his eyes closed.

Soon,

a spatial rift suddenly tore open.

Li Longxuan’s figure appeared before Su Xing.

"I’ve taken care of it for you."

"But you have to do me a small favor in return."

"What is it?"

Su Xing asked, a little confused.

The aura of the Profound Sword around him had not been dispelled.

Therefore, he really couldn’t understand what such a powerful, high-ranking, and respected elder like Li Longxuan could possibly need his help with.

However, Li Longxuan didn’t keep Su Xing waiting. He spoke quickly, but his words only confused Su Xing more.

"Accompany me to a meeting."

Li Longxuan said.

"..."

Su Xing was stunned for a moment. He pointed at himself and asked in confusion,

"Elder Li, you should know..."

"Heh, of course I know."

Li Longxuan nodded and said,

"The meeting we’re attending doesn’t require us to be physically present. It’s held by uploading our virtual avatars to a network using special military technology."

"..."

Hearing Li Longxuan’s words,

Su Xing was truly stunned. Although many technologies were first adopted by the military, he never imagined that technology had already developed to this level.

However,

since Li Longxuan had said so,

Su Xing really had no reason to refuse.

But,

this was a meeting, after all.

Su Xing felt he should still ask for more details.

So, Su Xing chuckled lightly and said,

"Elder Li went to great lengths to solve a problem for me, so naturally, I have no reason to refuse. I’m just a little curious, what kind of meeting requires a Loose Cultivator like me to attend?"

"The Assembly of Organizations."

Li Longxuan didn’t hide anything. He directly explained his reasoning, allowing Su Xing to clearly understand the motive behind the invitation.

To be honest,

this move by Li Longxuan

was almost entirely for Su Xing’s benefit.

Or rather,

it was for the sake of all of Cang City.

Because there was no benefit in it for him.

"..."

Su Xing was silent for a moment. He was still very confused, because he really didn’t understand why a powerful and high-status elder, who he hadn’t known at all before, would suddenly place so much importance on him.

Not only had he let him enter the Spirit Realm,

but he was even arranging an opportunity for him to meet experts from other cities.

’Could it be,’

’that in Li Longxuan’s eyes,’

’I’m a truly crucial part of the coming war?’

"Alright."

"I’ll do it."

Su Xing let out a breath and said, "But before we go, I’d like to ask, does the special organization have any Martial Arts Secret Manuals in its collection?"

"Mm."

"Of course we do."

Li Longxuan nodded. "Have you already reached that step on the Martial Dao?"

Although Li Longxuan wasn’t a Martial Artist,

he had fought far more Martial Artists than Su Xing. His understanding of them was in no way inferior, and as an opponent, he was in a completely different league.

"That step..."

Su Xing didn’t know how to answer,

because the question was too vague.

Realm, combat experience, understanding of martial arts—these were all signs of progress on the Martial Dao. The path he had walked far surpassed that of an ordinary Tier Five Martial Artist.

"You don’t have to tell me, I can guess. Tier Six, or even Tier Six Peak, are probably no match for you. You’re about to become one of the strongest people in the world."

Li Longxuan didn’t wait for Su Xing to reply. He continued, his gaze fixed on Su Xing’s phantom form.

"You’re asking me for manuals now, so you’ve likely hit a bottleneck, haven’t you? For the cultivation path of a Martial Artist, the need for manuals is second only to that of Qi Cultivators. Unfortunately, in this matter, I can’t make the decision for you."

"..."

Su Xing never would have thought there was something in Cang City that Li Longxuan couldn’t handle, but he quickly realized something and asked,

"Is there a problem with my status?"

Besides this,

Su Xing couldn’t think of anything else.

He wasn’t a member of the organization, but judging by Li Longxuan’s attitude toward him, getting some Martial Arts Secret Manuals shouldn’t have been difficult. To be refused outright meant it must be because of his status.

If the special organization had some strict regulations, then Su Xing really had no way around it. After all, he didn’t want to have a falling out with them.

"You’re right."

Li Longxuan nodded. "To the special organization, you are ultimately an outsider. Your identity is also mysterious and special. The organization would never agree to provide you with such important items."

He left the rest unsaid.

Although most of the organization’s current members were Sequencers, for whom Martial Arts Secret Manuals were almost useless, the manuals were also considered historical artifacts. Their distribution required approval from headquarters—a decision Li Longxuan couldn’t make alone.

"..."

"What if I choose to join?"

Su Xing asked after a moment of thought.

In reality,

he already knew a lot about the organization.

The reason he hadn’t joined before

was simply that the benefits of joining didn’t outweigh going it alone.

But,

things were completely different now.
