Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

As the last rays of dusk shone through the windows of the wooden cabin, the two returned to the cabin after a day of training.

As soon as Xiaoxing stepped into the living room, she seemed to have all her strength drained away, and collapsed onto the sofa with a thud.

His limbs were outstretched, and he didn't even have the strength to lift his hands.

A day of dual-wielding training, from basic stances to actual combat, leaves you exhausted. Your arms ache like they're filled with lead, and even your fingers are trembling slightly.

"How did you get like this?" Asuna rushed out of the kitchen to greet her. Seeing how tired Sachi looked, she frowned with heartache.

Then she turned to look at Kirito, her tone somewhat accusatory: "Is it because you've been too strict with the training?"

After saying that, she picked up a clean towel from the coffee table, squatted down by the sofa, and carefully wiped away the sweat and grass clippings from Xiaoxing's face.

Xiaoxing comfortably squinted her eyes and whispered, "Thank you, Mother."

Seeing this, Kirito quickly raised his hand to defend himself, "Don't blame me!"

“It’s really not Father’s fault.” Xiaoxing propped herself up a little from the sofa. “It was my own request!”

Asuna sighed helplessly and gently ruffled Xiaoxing's hair: "But what if you get injured while training?"

Xiaoxing's eyes hardened: "I have a reason to become stronger no matter what..."

Asuna looked at her serious expression and then turned to look at Kirito.

Kirito shrugged and shook his head slightly, indicating that he didn't know why either.

He knew that "Accel World" was real, but he didn't know anything about Kuroyukihime when she was a child.

In the end, Asuna relented: "Okay, but if you have anything on your mind, you must tell us."

Xiaoxing nodded emphatically: "I understand, Mother!"

Fortunately, Asuna had already prepared dinner. The rich aroma of the food wafted from the kitchen, whetting everyone's appetite.

Even Xiaoxing, who was extremely tired, instantly perked up, ignoring her exhaustion as she got up from the sofa and walked step by step to the dining table.

......

The next morning, Sachi was already standing at the door, full of energy, waiting for Kirito.

After a night's rest, she had fully recovered her strength and was even more energetic than yesterday.

The two returned to the grassy field where they had trained the day before.

Kirito entered the forest, and soon after, he led a wild monster into the forest.

[Natural Beetle], that is a monster the size of a basketball with a single horn on its head.

"Today is a practical demonstration. Watch carefully, here are my next moves." Kirito gripped his longsword and instructed Sachi.

"Mmm!" Xiaoxing nodded quickly, her eyes fixed on the screen, afraid of missing any detail.

The monster raised its head slightly and charged straight at Kirito, clearly intending to attack with its horn.

Kirito remained calm and parried with his left-hand sword.

With a crisp clang, the longsword collided with the beetle's horn, forcefully shifting the monster's attack direction slightly.

Just as the monster was unable to adjust its position in time due to inertia, Kirito suddenly thrust his sword forward with his right hand.

The sword instantly flashed with a pale blue skill light—Sonic Impact!

A flash of blue sword light streaked past, the longsword piercing the monster precisely before dissipating into data fragments.

The whole process was clean and efficient, taking only a few seconds.

Kirito sheathed his sword and turned to look at Sachi: "This is the basic usage of dual-wielding that I taught you yesterday. Did you see it clearly?"

"I saw it clearly!" Xiaoxing nodded vigorously, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Kirito was a little confused.

It's just a normal move, why are you so excited?

Xiao Xing ran up to him, her eyes burning with desire: "Master, what was that move where your sword glowed just now? I want to learn that!"

"Ah, this..." Kirito was dumbfounded.

'Sonic Impact' belongs to the SAO skill set, while Sachi uses the Brain Burst system.

Even if she's taught the moves, she won't be able to use them because they're two incompatible systems.

This is tricky... He could offer some pointers on dual-wielding swordsmanship, but he really can't handle cross-platform operations like this.

He was about to tell her the truth when he met Xiaoxing's expectant eyes.

This made Kirito's heart skip a beat, and he swallowed back the words that were on the tip of his tongue.

Telling the truth now feels like destroying a child's dream... even though Xiaoxing isn't a child's body now.

So Kirito reluctantly changed his tune: "I'm not confident I can teach you this move either."

He tried to persuade Xiaoxing to give up using vague language.

But Xiaoxing's eyes became even more determined: "Master, it's alright! I will practice hard! Please teach me!"

Now that things have come to this point, what else can I say?

Kirito sighed inwardly and had no choice but to say, "Alright, alright! I'll teach you! But don't get your hopes up too high, this move isn't so easy to learn."

Xiaoxing immediately smiled happily, thinking to herself: This is the second time already. As expected, Mother was right. As long as I ask earnestly, Father will definitely agree!

Unconsciously, Xiaoxing discovered a way to manipulate her father.

Kirito shook his head helplessly and resumed his pose.

He held his sword in front of his chest with his left hand, while his right hand held the sword behind him, drawing up its power.

This time Kirito slowed down his movements, so Sachi could see it clearly: the Elucidator's jet-black blade was emitting a blue light.

"Infuse your heart and soul into the sword, let your consciousness merge with the sword, and achieve oneness with the sword..." Kirito explained as he slowly thrust his sword forward.

Sonic Impact!

In the blink of an eye, Kirito had already thrust forward more than ten meters, and the light on the sword had dissipated.

"So fast! So strong!" Xiaoxing's eyes widened in amazement.

Kirito turned around and said to her, "These are the key points."

"I understand!" Xiaoxing quickly replied.

Then she started practicing on her own.

Kirito sighed inwardly, thinking, "There's no way I could learn that!"

SAO and the Brain Burst system are like Apple and Android – they're completely incompatible. No matter how precise your movements are, you can't unleash your skills!

But Xiaoxing didn't care about any of that. She seriously assumed the stance of a dual-wielding swordsman and repeated the rapier movements over and over again.

But seeing how enthusiastically and happily Sachi was practicing, Kirito felt a little embarrassed to disturb her.

Ugh, taking care of kids is so hard...

Kirito leaned against a large tree, the morning breeze blowing and the warm sunlight shining on him, making him feel exceptionally comfortable.

He originally just wanted to rest for a while, but as he thought about it, his consciousness gradually became blurred.

When Xiaoxing finally noticed, she saw Kirito leaning against a tree, fast asleep, his hands behind his head, and even a faint smile on his lips.

"Master must have been too tired from teaching me yesterday to fall asleep here." Xiao Xing gently shook her head, thinking to herself, "I can't disturb him; I need to work even harder!"

So, Xiaoxing threw herself back into practice.

While repeating the thrusting motion, he silently chanted words like "intention" and "consciousness."

Before we knew it, the sun had risen high in the sky, and it was almost noon.

Kirito was awakened by a soft call. He opened his eyes groggily and found Sachi standing in front of him, bending over.

"Master, it's lunchtime. Shall we go back?" Xiaoxing said softly.

Kirito rubbed his eyes and stood up: "Is it already this time?"

He suddenly felt a pang of panic.

Does that mean I left Xiaoxing here to practice all morning?

If Asuna finds out, I'm sure I'll get a lecture again!

Kirito quickly apologized, his voice full of guilt: "I'm so sorry, I accidentally fell asleep. It was definitely not intentional to leave you here!"

But Xiaoxing just smiled slightly, and Kirito saw Asuna's shadow in her face.

She smiled and said, "It's alright. I understand that you're working so hard to teach me... Besides, after a morning of training, I've already learned the skills my master taught me. It wasn't a waste of time!"

Kirito breathed a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted from his shoulders.

Fortunately, Xiaoxing understood, so there was no need to worry about her telling Asuna, and the fact that she slept in the morning could be covered up without anyone noticing.

But just as he relaxed, he suddenly realized what Xiaoxing had said, and his eyes widened instantly: "...What did you just say?"

Xiaoxing tilted her head in confusion and repeated, "I said it's okay, and I'll also learn the moves you taught me."

"What?!" Kirito's voice trembled slightly. "You...you actually mastered it?!"
