Ke Xue: He mastered the steel-cutting divine skill at the start.

Although Miyazaki Yu was younger than him, as the saying goes, one must first reach the highest level in martial arts before becoming a teacher. Moreover, Miyazaki Yu was his true teacher and became his guide in the way of swordsmanship.

“Teacher, no matter the reason, betrayal is betrayal. I simply cannot bear to watch my loved ones meet with misfortune. At that time, I had already made up my mind that if you were really harmed by them, I would definitely follow you in death!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than Miyazaki Yu's fist landed on his chest and abdomen.

His whole body trembled violently as if struck by lightning, and he slammed uncontrollably against the wall, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

But at this moment, he revealed a smile.

"Okay, thank you, teacher. To die at your hands is a relief for me!"

Miyazaki Yu narrowed his eyes slightly.

"The reason I'm punishing you isn't because you compromised under duress, but because you ultimately don't understand one thing: just how powerful your teacher has become!"

Do you know the real reason why your girlfriend was released and you were unharmed?

Nishikawa Tetsuaki shook his head blankly, wondering what his teacher meant.

Miyazaki Yu sneered, "The reason those guys stopped wasn't because someone took pity on them, but because everyone who carried out the so-called God-Slaying Plan has already disappeared from this world. I turned an entire military base into underground soil and completely wiped out thousands of elite troops from this world. Do you understand?"

Upon hearing these resounding words, Nishikawa Tetsuaki was deeply shaken and immediately connected them to certain events.

"Teacher, was that so-called earthquake...?"

Human beings can actually achieve such a level; this must be the realm of gods!

For a moment, his eyes revealed a variety of complex emotions.

Shock, horror, fear, and a yearning!

A small fish that has never seen the ocean will never know how vast it is; a person who has never seen a mountain will never know how majestic it is!

“You are my disciple, but when you encountered an insurmountable obstacle, your first thought was not to ask me, your teacher, to help you. Instead, you were misled by others and dared to attack your own teacher. What is your punishment?”

At this moment, Nishikawa Tetsumei was filled with remorse and regret, and the pain he felt was no longer enough to make up for the pain he was in.

"Teacher, just kill me! I don't deserve to live!"

Miyazaki Yu sneered. If he really wanted to kill him, there was no need to do this. He only needed a sword aura to turn him into minced meat.

This kid is exceptionally talented and possesses unwavering willpower. If properly nurtured, he will become the best blade and dagger, and that's exactly the kind of dagger Miyazaki Yu needs.

"Are you willing to give your life for your teacher?"

With a thud, Nishikawa Tetsumei kowtowed heavily to the ground.

"I am willing, teacher! If you are willing to give me a chance, I am willing to dedicate my life to serving you, and I will never break my promise!"

Miyazaki Yu chuckled: "Don't be in such a hurry. After all, you have already betrayed us, so I'll give you two choices. First, turn around and leave. That attack just now broke three of your ribs, which is equivalent to three weeks of swordsmanship instruction from me. However, after you leave, we will have nothing to do with each other anymore!"

"Teacher, I choose the second one!"

"The second option will be extremely difficult, and if you can't make it, the consequences will be severe. Do you still want to choose it?"

"I'm willing to choose, please let me know, teacher!"

Miyazaki Yu's tone suddenly turned solemn: "In the previous events, besides your betrayal of me, there was another person who also conveyed information that was detrimental to me. This person is hidden in the Sword Masters Association. If you choose the second option, I will personally train you for a month."

Then I need you to kill this person. Do you still have a choice?

Chapter 417 Hellish Training

"this,,,"

Although I had prepared myself mentally, I still couldn't help but feel a shiver run through me.

The teacher didn't say it explicitly, but translating it into one sentence, it means: I will train you for a month, and after a month, you need to go and kill a true swordsman!

This is practically an impossible task!

Every swordsman is a sword prodigy, especially after joining the Swordsman Guild, where they gain access to abundant resources and their strength is further enhanced.

At this point, his strength is still far from that of a sword master. It may even take him several years to reach the edge of a sword master. No matter what kind of training he undergoes, it would be an extremely difficult task to kill a sword master in a month!

However, he knew in his heart that if it were a simple task, the teacher wouldn't have asked him to do it.

Reason told me that choosing the first option and leaving was the wisest choice.

However, he also knew that once he left this place, he would never have the chance to see the magnificent scenery at the pinnacle of swordsmanship in his life, nor would he be able to continue to improve his skills in swordsmanship!

His eyes flickered slightly before turning firm. Whether for the sake of swordsmanship or to ease his own guilt, he was determined to give it his all.

Moreover, now that he knows Miyazaki Yu's achievements, his heart is burning with excitement.

At this moment, in the teacher's eyes, a sword master was nothing, because he judged that the teacher had probably reached the pinnacle of swordsmanship, which was the realm of a sword saint!

That's a Sword Saint! That's the ultimate goal for all swordsmen!

The teacher's original strength was already no less than that of the old president, and at this age, his future is destined to be incredibly brilliant!

At this moment, he had already reached the pinnacle of all swordsmen, and perhaps even the pinnacle of this world. For him, not to mention reaching that level, just having the chance to witness it would be nothing more than paying the price of his life.

"I am willing to accept the second option. I am willing to become a teacher, to overcome all obstacles, and to eliminate all those who stand in my way!"

A sense of pride rose in Miyazaki Yu's heart. This disciple was originally part of the power he had long planned to establish.

It would be too boring if he had to do everything himself.

He needed both a powerful underground organization to do shady things for him, and some overt support to cheer him on.

Just like the other swordsmen in the Sword Masters Guild, why doesn't the government dare to touch them, even though their strength is far beyond their own?

Ultimately, it all comes down to one thing: they are all sword masters from different schools.

Each of them represents a school of swordsmanship and is a representative figure among tens of thousands of swordsmen.

This is like an emperor wanting to kill a civil official to vent his anger, one of whom comes from a prominent family and is the head of an organization like the Donglin Academy, with a large group of disciples cheering him on.

Such people should not be killed easily.

The other one, although academically and in official rank similar to the first, came from a poor family, had few disciples, and no one to support him.

Then he must be the one who dies.

However, what happened next sent chills down his spine.

He was immediately assigned to stay there, and Miyazaki Yu would dedicate two hours each day to sparring with him to improve his combat skills.

Although Miyazaki Yu adjusted his strength and speed to a level similar to that of Nishikawa Tetsumei, the two were worlds apart. For two hours, Nishikawa Tetsumei felt as if he were in hell.

If Miyazaki Yu hadn't used his internal energy to regulate his qi and blood and nourish his body after each training session, he would have been beaten to death.

In every battle, Miyazaki Yu showed no mercy, causing Nishikawa Tetsuaki immense suffering while also significantly enhancing his own combat abilities.

Moreover, he knew that such training was extremely rare and hard to come by. There were few people in the world, or even in history, who could compare to him. He was incredibly lucky that someone would dedicate time every day to training him.

This teacher also possesses incredible abilities; whether it's a broken rib or a body covered in wounds, as long as the teacher provides a little treatment, the body can recover quickly.

After finishing his sparring sessions each day, he trains alone for more than fifteen hours a day, which can be described as training like his life depends on it. This makes Miyazaki Yu very satisfied.

Some people's success is not accidental. These people will go all out and give 100% effort as long as they have even the slightest opportunity. Such people certainly deserve to succeed.

"Shiliang, it's such a pity you didn't come yesterday. We had a super luxurious meal at Xiaoyu's house. It was really super luxurious, with only the best ingredients."

"I'm sorry to have dragged you into this. I was just looking forward to having a meal with you, but you sneaked off on your own. Officer Sato is very unhappy about this; she's a very serious and meticulous person."

A burst of laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"I'm really sorry, Xiaolan. I had no choice. I was locked up for several days because of this, and I couldn't stand it anymore. I really wanted to drink soda, so I went and bought some by myself and completely forgot about everything else."

By the next day, I was even less able to leave. After all, I'm a detective, and a few days away had left a lot of things piling up.

The two people in the conversation were Ran and Sera Masumi. Both of them had been detained by the police because of what had happened before, and they were released together.

However, Sera Masumi made an excuse and left alone on her way back.

The next day, Miyazaki Yu invited everyone to dinner, but Miss Sera declined to come, which made Ran feel a little bad.

"In that case, let's go to the beach together next weekend. We can't back out this time."

"Ran, is Miyazaki going on this trip you mentioned?"

Xiao Lan honestly replied, "Of course he will go. He said that the cultivation stage has passed, and now it is time to slowly accumulate. Continuing to go into seclusion would be a bad thing."

"Okay, I understand. I'll definitely be there, don't worry!"

After hanging up the phone, Sera Masumi breathed a sigh of relief.

"This girl is truly kind and sincere, cough cough," Akai Mary's small figure emerged from behind Sera.

"That's true. Miyazaki Yu cares so much about Ran, probably because of this. Ran is indeed worthy of his attention."

Mary Akai licked her lips, feeling inexplicably irritated. Ever since her husband died, she couldn't help but feel irritated and want to smoke whenever she saw something like this.

He reached out to touch the cigarette pack, but then remembered that he would no longer be able to smoke after becoming a child and his body was damaged, so he stopped in mid-air and gave up.

"Masumi, now we can conclude that the military base explosion is probably inextricably linked to this Miyazaki Kengo."

This one sentence made the atmosphere in the room extremely heavy.

Chapter 418 Matsumoto Sayuri's Amazing Beauty (3rd Update!)

"Mom, I still can't believe it. According to you, that place is a large military base. How could they possibly do that?"

Mary Akai shook her head: "Although I am reluctant to admit it, considering all the signs, this is the only explanation that is closest to the truth."

Sera Masumi frowned and said, "But, judging from the report, the biggest suspect in this matter should be Kaito Kid, who caused such a ruckus."

Mary Akai walked to the window, her gaze falling on the distant blue sky.

"The base has been permanently buried underground. Even if it can be excavated successfully, it will be a long time from now. By then, all the so-called evidence will have disappeared. Therefore, under such circumstances, there is only one standard for judgment: strength!"

The person who is related to this matter and has the ability to do it is the most likely person to do it. Just like Occam's razor, sometimes the simpler it is, the more truthful it is. As for Kaito Kid, although he was involved in this matter...

However, this matter may not necessarily have been orchestrated by him. In the absence of concrete evidence, my inference is probably the closest we can get to the truth.

But when she said these things, Sera Masumi, unusually, saw fear in her mother's eyes.

My mother has always been a steadfast and tenacious person. Even though she became like this because of that accident, taking the form of a child, she has never been confused or afraid.

But now, she felt fear.

"Mom, are you sad because of what happened to your old friend?"
