Swordsmanship Coach: Kill with One Slash

Chapter 278: Chapter 185: Meeting

"Alright."

Su Xing nodded in agreement.

’Li Longxuan arranging this meeting for him has only upsides and no downsides. Besides, all I have to do is sit there and watch quietly. I probably won’t have to do anything.’

Thinking of this, Su Xing asked,

"When do we leave?"

"Right now."

Li Longxuan said calmly. He looked at the space in front of him and tore it open with a single motion, adding coolly, "Stay close."

With that,

he stepped into the rift and vanished.

Su Xing keenly sensed the spatial aura Li Longxuan had deliberately released. He tore open the space as well, following the residual aura left behind.

「Outside the mortal realm,」

it was pitch black.

It was impossible to see anything at all.

In Su Xing’s perception, there were only a series of locations he could directly teleport to and an aura that continuously pulled him forward.

Soon,

Su Xing caught a glimpse of light.

CRACK!

A very strange sound rang out.

Then, Su Xing returned to the mortal realm. His eyes could finally see concrete objects again. He was in a small room. Inside were two large chairs that looked like the hair-perming machines you’d find in a salon.

Li Longxuan,

was standing there silently.

"How do you use this?"

Su Xing walked over to Li Longxuan and asked. ’After all, I’ve never encountered this kind of military equipment before. There’s no harm in asking a few questions.’

"You just put it on."

Li Longxuan said, pointing to a ring-like object on the chair:

"This technology used to make people feel like they were in a living hell when it was first developed. But after multiple iterations, it can be used normally."

"Hmm..."

"If Xia Country’s technology has reached this level, why doesn’t anyone among the general public know about it? Why has no one ever mentioned it?"

Su Xing asked with some curiosity.

"Cutting-edge technology is naturally kept secret."

Li Longxuan said as if it were obvious, "When the technology develops to a certain point, it will naturally be released for civilian use. Now is not that time."

"Go on."

"Okay."

Su Xing nodded.

’He naturally knew that a powerful country hides far more than it reveals, but since this was the first time he’d seen something like this, he was still a little curious.’

Su Xing walked to the chair and sat down. His first sensation was something like a sponge enveloping his lower body. Then, as if sensing he had taken a seat, the ring above him automatically lowered onto his head.

’Hmm...’

’Looking at the ring around my head, I feel a little uncomfortable.’ But he suppressed the feeling and didn’t let much of it show.

To be honest,

this wasn’t Su Xing’s first meeting,

but it was certainly his first time attending one in this format.

’As for the experience, it was incredibly novel at first, feeling my own semi-corporeal body. The strange sensation right after entering was particularly interesting.’

Of course,

that novelty wore off quickly.

’Then came the meeting. The representatives from each special organization were almost all older people. Although the virtual avatars had no specific facial features, you could guess their age from the sound of their voices.’

’When elders hold a meeting,’

’there’s naturally a lot of pointless talk.’

’If I hadn’t been aware that I was participating in an organizational meeting, I would have subconsciously been getting ready to fall asleep.’

Fortunately,

Li Longxuan’s purpose in bringing him this time

was to let him meet and get to know the leaders of the other special organizations. Therefore, no one put him on the spot during the speeches, and the other leaders wouldn’t randomly trouble a junior who had never spoken a word.

And so, Su Xing

managed to just coast through it.

The meeting felt like it had gone on for at least three or four hours, but in reality, only about half an hour had passed. It was nothing, really.

As the meeting concluded, many people from the special organizations vanished from the conference along with their juniors.

When most had left, an old man no younger than Li Longxuan approached with a young man in tow, intending to say goodbye to Li Longxuan.

"This is the leader from Modu."

Li Longxuan happened to be standing right next to Su Xing, so he naturally began the introduction for his benefit. The old man’s name was Sun Tao, the current leader of Modu’s special organization. He was also one of Li Longxuan’s comrades-in-arms from back in the day.

It was just that after the war ended, he accepted a promotion from headquarters and agreed to be transferred to Modu. Since then, he had left Cang City and never returned.

Su Xing gave him a surprised second look.

’As a Martial Artist, my perception has reached a frighteningly sharp level. Even with people much stronger than me, I can sometimes discern their true strength with a single glance, but this time...’

It was no exaggeration to say that,

’if I hadn’t met him here, I would have mistaken the man for a complete and utter ordinary person.’ However, after taking a closer look, he had a sudden realization.

’Sun Tao...’

’His injuries are extremely severe,’

’far more serious than Li Longxuan’s.’

’Therefore,’

’due to his previously grievous injuries,’

’coupled with his advancing age,’

’his power has begun to recede and slowly deteriorate. That’s why I found it difficult to see through him. Still, although his strength has degraded, it can’t be too poor. Otherwise, he would have retired long ago and wouldn’t have had the chance to be here.’
