Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 276: Chapter 184: Teleportation

"What if I were to join?" Su Xing asked.

Su Xing was quite confident. He believed that given the power and potential he had demonstrated, the special organization wouldn’t refuse him. Therefore, gaining access to the Martial Arts Secret Manuals shouldn’t be difficult.

"..."

Li Longxuan gave Su Xing a quiet look and said,

"To be honest, if you had joined us earlier, it would have been fine. But now, it’s not so certain."

"Hm?"

"Why is that?"

Su Xing was taken aback. He truly couldn’t wrap his head around the intricacies of the situation.

He knew very well that the special organization in Cang City held him in high regard. If he wanted to join, the Cang City branch certainly wouldn’t object. The problem must lie elsewhere.

"Because these Martial Arts Secret Manuals aren’t stored in Cang City. They’re all kept at headquarters."

Li Longxuan said helplessly, "On the surface level, you’re a Martial Artist who has always hidden his identity. Now, you suddenly choose to join our organization at this particular time with such a clear goal. It’s very difficult to earn the trust of the people in the Capital City."

After Li Longxuan spoke, Su Xing gave him a long, hard look.

The internal politics of the special organization were far more complex than Su Xing had imagined. He suddenly realized the relationship between the city branches probably wasn’t friendly. Instead, it was likely one of competition and rivalry.

At the very least, Li Longxuan’s influence in the Capital City wasn’t as far-reaching as it was in Cang City.

"After all, you’ve been hiding your identity this whole time and still are. Even if Li Yu and I vouch for you, it’s just our word against the circumstances. And as you can see, for reasons from years ago, my influence in the Capital City is nowhere near what it is in Cang City."

Li Longxuan shrugged.

Su Xing frowned. He hadn’t expected a simple precaution he took would come back to bite him like this so much later. Then, Su Xing asked,

"You just said... that was the surface-level reason. So what’s the real, deeper reason?"

"..."

Li Longxuan looked at Su Xing intently, then let out a heavy sigh and said,

"The real reason is your power."

"Do you realize just how extraordinary your power has become?"

Indeed, Su Xing was a living, breathing monster.

He was invincible among those at the same level, and breaking through to the next realm was as easy as drinking water for him.

The special organization, since its founding, had never seen such an absurd monster.

Even in all the historical records, existences like Su Xing were few and far between.

Every genius of this caliber either died young or survived to usher in a great new era.

But the organization feared such a genius.

Every organization needs geniuses. Geniuses strengthen the organization and promise a brighter future. But no organization needs a monster—especially a mysterious one.

Su Xing’s identity was a mystery.

That alone was enough to make one’s blood run cold.

Not to mention, Su Xing had always been an outsider.

His power was so immense that if he joined the special organization now, almost no one could control him. He would be joining as an established master.

Since ancient times, disciples who joined a school already possessing great skill were difficult to truly utilize.

Such disciples don’t truly need a sect or school. They can leave whenever they wish, so there’s no sense of belonging to speak of.

Letting someone like that in the door would mean having someone completely uncontrollable in their ranks.

Even though the special organization is a national entity, it still requires a sense of belonging from its members—in fact, it needs it more than most. It needs every member to be willing to die for the country without question.

How could such an organization allow a mysterious master—with an unknown identity, origin, source of power, and allegiance—to join? And then, immediately let him study the organization’s most secret collections?

The revival of Spiritual Qi has brought new hope, but it also allows an individual’s personal power to grow to monstrous levels. Every person within the organization whose loyalties don’t align with the nation is a potential devastating blow.

That’s why, back when Li Yu knew nothing about Su Xing, his decision to trust him completely was an incredibly bold move.

"You know as well as I do, the larger an organization, the more internal strife it has. Its external policies tend to become more and more conservative. So, I don’t think I can make you any promises about this request," Li Longxuan said.

In truth, how could Li Longxuan not be aware of Su Xing’s future potential?

He had suggested to the organization multiple times that they should let the mysterious master join, even with his special, anonymous status.

But the higher-ups in the organization had adamantly refused.

Li Longxuan had even smashed several tables over it. But he had to admit, the reasoning of those old geezers at headquarters had some merit. No one has a god’s-eye view; it was only natural for them to be concerned.

After all, Su Xing was a truly unpredictable factor.

The special organization, while not overwhelmingly powerful, was far from desperate enough to need such an unpredictable element just to keep up appearances.

One had to remember that Cang City was just a mid-sized city. While experts on Li Longxuan’s level were rare in the Capital City, they weren’t non-existent.

It was just that Xia Country was vast, and the revival of Spiritual Qi had been ferociously abrupt. This meant these experts were all busy handling matters in their own regions, and it was rare for them to gather to deal with a single issue. The matter of the Spirit Realm, at least, was not yet significant enough to bring them all running.

Perhaps the advent of the Celestial Human Tomb would.

"I understand."
