Chapter 282: Chapter 187: Wailing
"Huh?"
"Why did you go there all by yourself?!"
Su Xing froze for a moment before he quickly grasped the implications of Lu Anning’s words. A wave of worry washed over him as he replied hastily.
Right now,
that place was no tourist spot.
The fact that Li Longxuan had taken the initiative to mention it meant the Secret Realm had reached a dangerous level. It was at least something an ordinary Extraordinary Being couldn’t handle, which was the only reason Li Longxuan would have brought it up with Su Xing.
"..."
Su Xing looked at the taxi he was in and sighed. He spoke to Lu Anning through the phone:
"Did Xiao Yu and your uncle come with you?"
"No."
"This is my own business. Of course I didn’t tell them."
Lu Anning seemed to sense the displeasure in Su Xing’s tone, and her voice became a little quieter. But Su Xing wasn’t really blaming her; he just said seriously:
"This time, you’re going to listen to me. Stay right where you are and don’t move. I’m coming over right now."
After speaking, Su Xing lowered his phone, turned, and spoke to the driver up front:
"Sir, please pull over. You don’t need to drive any further."
"Huh?"
"We’re still a long way from the destination."
The driver glanced at the route on the GPS, confused.
"You’re stopping here? What about the fare?"
"Don’t worry, just pretend you’ve dropped me off at the destination. I’ll pay you the full fare. Just pull over for me now."
Su Xing said calmly.
"Oh, okay, okay!"
Seeing that the young man was so reasonable, the driver didn’t hesitate. He pulled over to the side of the road and let Su Xing out from the back seat.
After the taxi left, Su Xing took a few steps into a deserted nearby alley, tore open a spatial rift, and slipped inside. His figure vanished from the spot in an instant.
Su Xing had never been to the Summer Resort or the nearby Beilong Street, so he had been forced to take a taxi. Now that Lu Anning was there, however, he could teleport directly by locking onto his Sword Disciple’s location.
As expected, when Su Xing saw light again, he was already standing next to Lu Anning, who was still holding her phone.
She stared at the suddenly appearing Su Xing, looking startled. She pointed at him and quickly asked:
"Coach Su..."
"How did you get here?!"
Lu Anning’s current strength was just barely enough for her to have some contact with information related to space, but with no one to teach her more, she naturally didn’t understand Su Xing’s methods very well.
It had been a while.
He wasn’t sure if it was just his imagination, but Su Xing felt as if Lu Anning had grown quite a bit taller. Before, she had only reached his lower chest, but now she came up to his upper chest. She was clearly much taller.
"Hm?"
"You’re already at Tier Four Peak?"
Su Xing said with some surprise.
A system panel belonging to Lu Anning flashed before his eyes, detailing the data of his Sword Disciple. In the realm column, "Tier Four Peak" was clearly written.
It wasn’t that Su Xing was overreacting. It was just that when he’d left the Sword Hall, Lu Anning was still a Tier Three Martial Artist. Now, she had surpassed his own brother to be the first to reach the Tier Four Peak.
This kind of leveling speed was simply too fast.
If Su Xing wasn’t certain he knew his disciple well enough, he would have suspected Lu Anning had a hidden system of her own.
"Mhm."
Lu Anning didn’t deny it. She nodded in agreement with Su Xing’s words and said:
"I’ve had some new insights recently. I think I’ve found my Sword Dao, so my realm just shot up."
"But... let’s not talk about that for now. Coach Su, look at this mountain."
Lu Anning said, pointing into the distance.
’I have to say, Lu Anning’s talent is beyond my expectations. To be honest, even now, I still don’t know what my own Sword Dao is.’
’Moreover, my advancement has never been restricted or slowed down because of issues with my Dao.’
’Perhaps,’
’my desire to surpass everyone else...’
’...is also a type of Dao?’
Su Xing didn’t know, and he didn’t plan to dwell on it. All he knew was that his enemies were popping up one after another. Old foes were still waiting in the wings while new ones emerged. This left him feeling suffocated, filled with a simmering resentment and a desire to completely eliminate all these troubles.
But before that, Su Xing needed to deal with this nobody who had appeared out of nowhere.
"What thick fog."
Su Xing followed Lu Anning’s finger and saw a vast expanse of white mist. It covered the mountain and the nearby streets like a giant white bowl turned upside down.
Fog on a mountain wasn’t exactly a rare occurrence.
But for it to be this dense, to the point where it was spreading down from the mountain, was indeed very strange and rare.
"From what I’ve gathered," Lu Anning said, "this fog has been here for almost a week. It started in a small area, but over time, it completely enveloped the entire mountain and its surroundings."
"Hm, so this must be the Secret Realm that Senior Li Longxuan mentioned. I wonder where Su Yu is inside."
Su Xing said, nodding in understanding.
"Huh?"
"Little Su is in there too?"
Lu Anning said, surprised.
"Mhm."
"He should be in there."
"I’ll go in with you."
’Ever since I got back from the Spirit Realm, it’s been one thing after another, leaving me with almost no time to break through,’ Su Xing thought. ’But I did make some gains in the Spirit Realm. This will be a good chance to test just how much stronger I’ve become.’
