Zongman, Rebirth of the Heaven-Defying Kirito

Nestled in Asuna's warm embrace, Sachi's consciousness seemed to sink into a soft sea of ​​clouds, gradually descending downwards.

In a hazy state, the familiar white light enveloped her once again.

She returned to that cold, white laboratory, where the atmosphere remained as oppressive as ever.

Not far away, the man who had been wearing the white lab coat earlier was standing with his back to her.

Then he slowly turned around and looked straight at Xiaoxing: "Remember this well, our goal is to create a 'perfect accelerator' that can reach the pinnacle of the Brain Burst program, and your current progress is far from enough."

The man's voice was devoid of any warmth, as if he were giving instructions to a lifeless experimental subject.

Just then, another young yet firm voice rang in her ears—it was her own voice.

"Yes, Father!"

"Father..." Xiaoxing murmured repeatedly in her mind, her heart suddenly clenching.

The cold man in front of her was actually the 'father' from her memories?

She was completely different from Kirito's warm father who would pat her head and carry her home.

The tremendous impact jolted her awake, her chest heaving.

This dream... no, this memory left her bewildered.

Even after having breakfast and being led to the training location by Kirito, she was still immersed in last night's dream.

Until Kirito waved in front of her: "Hey~ Sachi, can you hear me?"

Xiaoxing then came to her senses and subconsciously said, "I heard you... Father!"

Kirito asked in confusion, "That's strange, why aren't you calling me 'Master' today?"

Xiao Xing quickly corrected herself, her cheeks slightly flushed: "I'm sorry, Master, I was just lost in thought."

"You've been listless since this morning. Did you hurt yourself from overtraining yesterday?" Kirito took a step closer and reached out to touch her forehead.

But Xiaoxing instinctively dodged it.

The image of the man in the white lab coat with his cold eyes suddenly flashed through her mind, and her heart tightened.

Kirito withdrew his hand, his tone becoming serious: "It seems you're not feeling well, so you must have remembered something?"

Xiaoxing's shoulders trembled slightly: "As expected of Father... nothing can be hidden from you."

Kirito then asked, "What happened? If you don't mind, you can talk to me about it."

Xiaoxing remained silent.

Seeing her expression, Kirito didn't press further: "Some things are hard to say, and there's nothing we can do about it. After all, everyone has their own secrets..."

Just then, Xiaoxing suddenly spoke up: "Father! If... I mean, if I regain my past memories, should I stay here or return to my original home?"

Seeing her conflicted expression, Kirito reached out and gently patted her head.

This time, Xiaoxing didn't dodge; instead, she gently rubbed against his palm.

“I can’t make the decision for you because I don’t know your past.” Kirito said seriously, “But I think if there are people who care about you in your original place, you should go back and see; but if there’s nothing there that you’d like to stay for, or if you’ve encountered difficulties, you can always come back here.”

"This will always be your home, and that place may also be your home."

Warm words, like a ray of sunshine, pierced through the gloom in Xiaoxing's heart.

Yes, even if she remembers the past, she can choose to come back. There are people she cares about here, and people who care about her.

The only thing that made her a little embarrassed was that she seemed to like Kirito patting her head.

That hand was warm and strong, making her feel exceptionally safe.

"Oh, right, to cheer you up, I'll teach you the secrets of dual-wielding today!" Kirito suddenly changed the subject, a confident smile spreading across his face.

Xiaoxing was instantly captivated, her eyes lighting up: "The ultimate technique of dual-wielding?!"

"Watch closely, this will only be demonstrated once!"

Of course, due to the skill cooldown, he cannot use it a second time in a short period of time.

Kirito drew his black and white swords from behind his back, and crimson light instantly enveloped the swords.

"Starburst air current slash!"

In an instant, countless crimson sword lights intertwined, forming an impenetrable attack net, and the sharp sound of them tearing through the air made the surrounding air seem to tremble.

Sachi only blinked twice before Kirito had already completed sixteen slashes.

When the last glint of sword light dissipated, he had already sheathed his sword.

It was as if the shocking attack had never happened.

Xiaoxing was completely stunned, her mouth slightly agape: "So...so fast! So strong!"

She could feel the oppressive aura emanating from that crimson sword light, far stronger than any skill she had ever learned before. It was incomparable to any ordinary skill; truly worthy of being the ultimate technique of dual-wielding!

It takes a normal person at least 0.4 seconds to swing a sword once. Even a master of dual-wielding would find it difficult to swing ten times in two seconds. Yet Kirito swung sixteen times in just one or two seconds.

It's so fast it's almost inhuman!

"Well, did you see it clearly?" Kirito asked with a smile, his tone tinged with smugness.

"I see clearly!" Xiaoxing nodded immediately, gripped her twin swords, and was about to begin practicing.

For the rest of the morning, Xiaoxing practiced the speed of her sword swings repeatedly.

She tried to imitate Kirito's movements, but found that she couldn't do the high-speed slashing at all in a short time; her arm speed and power couldn't keep up.

But Xiaoxing didn't give up and tried again and again.

Had lunch.

Before Kirito could remind her, Sachi arrived alone near the cabin again and began practicing once more.

Seeing Yuki's condition, Asuna said to Kirito with concern, "You trained so hard today, won't you wear yourself out again?"

Kirito shook his head: "Sachi is a bit confused after remembering her memories. Perhaps this is a way for her to relieve stress."

Hearing him say that, Asuna stopped talking.

Then Kirito changed the subject: "By the way, the skill I just taught Sachi, wasn't it amazing?"

Asuna rolled her eyes at him: "You are very good, but be careful that Sachi learns it and surpasses you."

Kirito smiled, unconcerned: "How could such a thing be possible?"

Outside the wooden house, Xiaoxing picked up her twin swords again, but found herself in trouble once more.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't reach Kirito's speed.

"No normal person could do that... I couldn't do it either," she muttered to herself, feeling a little disappointed.

But she quickly cheered herself up again.

Since my father is willing to teach her the profound secrets, it means he believes she can learn them, and I cannot let him down!

"If you can't do it, find a way to do it; if you can't find a way, create one!"

She remembered the difference between 'Death Slash' and 'Four Directions Slash', and suddenly a flash of inspiration struck her.

"Since I can't imitate Master's speed, is there any other way to achieve the same effect?"

Close your eyes and recall the scene when Kirito unleashed the Starburst Stream, while simultaneously channeling your inner will.

Imagine your sword can unleash multiple sword beams, and imagine those sword beams can be as dense as a starburst blast.

Finally, as if sensing something, Xiaoxing exclaimed, "It...it's a success!"

Kirito and Asuna, who were inside the wooden house, heard the noise and immediately ran out.

The phantom of Black Lotus reappeared behind Xiaoxing.

This time, however, a purple dot of light was floating on the blades of the phantom's hands.

Then, Xiaoxing unleashed her twin swords: "StarBurst Stream!"

As she moved, the Black Lotus phantom also swung its sword in sync.

The two points of light on the blade transformed into eight purple sword beams, resulting in a total of sixteen sword beams that shot out in a crisscross pattern, creating the effect of Kirito's Starburst Stream Slash!

This is... making up for a lack of strikes with sheer numbers?

This time, Kirito saw the entire process of Sachi using her skill.

He finally understood!

Xiaoxing didn't learn his skills through system compatibility; instead, she created her own moves!

Moreover, it's a 'mind-control skill' unique to the Brain Burst system!
