refining First-grade Elixir Pills was completely effortless for him, and he could even spare some of his Soul Power to observe others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among these people, about half had the ability of a First-grade Rune Master, but they were far inferior to Zhao Xue, not to mention compared to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After thirty minutes had passed, the Green Jade Platform emitted light, signaling everyone to stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, five people had not completed their refinement and were directly eliminated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the remaining eleven, four produced substandard elixirs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ultimately, only seven people passed the assessment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This number was close to what the stewards had predicted, and there was little surprise among the crowd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples who had passed were visibly excited, while those who had failed stood dejectedly to the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song spoke slowly, “The path of engraving is profound and vast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether or not you’ve passed the assessment, you must not slack off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Remember this!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next is the assessment for Second Grade Rune Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shanshan, get ready.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The few young individuals clad in silver robes replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Four people walked towards the Green Jade Platform, and Lin Xuan also stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Young man, what mischief are you up to?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Get back!” one of the youths scoffed coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone turned their sights to Lin Xuan, wondering what he was up to.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-robed woman glanced at him and, with a slight frown, spoke softly, “Please do not disturb our assessment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan stroked his chin, “Sorry, but I am one of the candidates for the assessment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youths were momentarily taken aback and then scoffed, “This is an assessment for Second Grade Rune Masters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you up to it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples who had just passed the test also laughed scornfully, “Him, testing for Second Grade Rune Master?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I couldn’t do it, let alone him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Xue smiled without saying a word; she knew Lin Xuan had the capability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and the others looked towards Elder Xu, their gaze filled with questioning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, yes, this young fellow registered for the Second Grade Rune Masters’ assessment,” Elder Xu laughed, “Because he has never participated before, we had him start from the First-grade Rune Master test.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young disciples looked as if they had choked on duck eggs, speechless with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-robed woman gazed at Lin Xuan with surprise, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the three youths behind her were grim, their expressions hostile as they glared at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You can’t just attempt Second Grade Rune Master; first, you need to reach the Second Seal Soul Power state,” said a youth named Zhou Yong, in a tone neither warm nor hostile, “Prove it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This guy is so young; he definitely can’t do it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Exactly, trying to bluff his way through here, what a joke.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s expression remained unchanged; since they wanted proof, he would show them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His gaze shifted, and two runes appeared in mid-air simultaneously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ripples spread through the air, and a strange energy pulsated; the intricate lines dazzled many onlookers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, the runes in the air dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only then did the crowd snap out of their stupor, staring at Lin Xuan’s figure as if they had seen a ghost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How is it possible, he’s only seventeen years old!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A group of disciples struggled to breathe, unwilling to believe this reality.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The silver-robed woman’s gaze became sharp, and within it surged a tide of war intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her name was Huang Shanshan, a disciple of Elder Song, identified from a young age as possessing exceptional talent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No disciples around her could compare, even those older than her could not match her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, suddenly a young boy had appeared, younger than her, yet his strength was not weak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This made her feel a sense of resistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song nodded with a smile, said in a deep voice, “Begin!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan and the others stepped onto the Green Jade Platform, preparing themselves with concentrated hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, so what if he has reached Second Seal Soul Power!” Zhou Yong had a cold look on his face, “To become a Second Grade Rune Master isn’t just about having strong Soul Power!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Both of you, show me your real skill!” Zhou Yong said in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He certainly didn’t want to be bested by a youngster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at the five people preparing in the arena, Deacon Meng chuckled, “Shanshan has been looking forward to this for a long time, hasn’t she?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, she’s been preparing for over two months, there should be no problems this time,” Elder Song said with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“However, it’s not necessarily the same for the others, after all, the assessment for a Second Grade Rune Master is no child’s play.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Deacon Wang, do you think that kid Lin Xuan can pass?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I don’t know,” Deacon Wang shook his head, “The last time I saw him, he seemed to have only First Seal Soul Power, I didn’t expect that in just over two months without seeing him, he had actually made a breakthrough!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh?” Elder Song and the others grew interested, “It seems this child has astonishing talent, hopefully, he can shine in the battle at the Engraving Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the group conversed, Lin Xuan and the others had already begun their actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples all held their breath, intently watching the five people in the arena, not willing to miss any detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan concentrated, carefully drawing the engravings, not daring to be the slightest bit careless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The difficulty this time was nearly ten times greater than the previous assessment!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also why there were so few Second Grade Rune Masters, it was far too difficult.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan exerted his Soul Power to its maximum, controlling the streams of engravings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Shanshan was also deeply serious, sweat appearing on her delicate face, while Zhou Yong and the other two were sweating profusely, their faces turning pale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the air, that complex engraving was like a bottomless pit, absorbing their Soul Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed bit by bit, and five engravings emerged in the sky, vaguely making out a pattern, though incomplete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Huang Shanshan had completed roughly seventy percent, Lin Xuan half, Zhou Yong about sixty percent, and the remaining two around forty percent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was like the shattering of a jade piece, a crisp sound emitted from mid-air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One person’s engraving cracked and broke apart with a loud bang, impacting the young man closest to him, and in an instant, his engraving was scattered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan and the others were also affected, the engravings in the sky seemed ready to dissipate at any moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This change was unexpected to him; normally the process of engraving required absolute safety from external disruptions, otherwise, the possibility of failure was significant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s Soul Power intertwined, continually stabilizing the engravings while continuing to carve.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Shanshan and Zhou Yong, on the other hand, were fully focused on protecting their engravings, not daring to be distracted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Song and the others watched with a hint of concern in their expressions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xuan’s technique is quite special, it doesn’t seem to be a common technique of Xia Country,” Elder Song noticed Lin Xuan protecting his engraving while continuing to draw, and was greatly surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I heard he has a master who keeps out of the public eye, the specifics aren’t very clear,” Deacon Wang said quickly, “However, he’s a disciple of the Lin Family of Sword Pond Prefecture, his identity is very clear, he can definitely participate in the battle at the Engraving Tower.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm, I’ve heard of that too,” Deacon Meng interjected from the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the three conversed, the air in the arena finally returned to calm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huang Shanshan and Zhou Yong let out a sigh of relief, but then their expressions changed again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because they saw that Lin Xuan’s engraving was nearly complete!\u003C\u002Fp>",1361,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","a8f83db9c111cc55774113c8a17f08864605eb4cd7a24f7f4e030c3936a58d31","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-215","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-213",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
