several sword marks on his body, one of which had torn open his chest.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In contrast, Lin Xuan stood with his sword, unscathed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this match, the superior and inferior were immediately apparent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee saw this scene and declared Lin Xuan’s victory directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That announcement echoed throughout the valley, lingering for a long time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan became the focus of thousands, suddenly emerging as the biggest dark horse of the competition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who would have thought that such a talent would appear in Xia Country?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only the youngest Second Grade Rune Master but also a Sword Master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s name resonated among the crowd, it was the disciples of Xia Country cheering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, all hostility towards Lin Xuan dissipated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan had become the spiritual pillar in their hearts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it, whoever says our Xia Country lacks talent, I’ll get pissed with them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The disciples of Xia Country stood tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We won, we really won!” On the stands, Elder Song and Elder Gu were visibly excited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the faces of the elders from the Shadow Hall were as gloomy as could be.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Bring Shadowless back and treat him!” one of the elders ordered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On Arena One, the severely injured Shadowless was taken away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan slowly walked down from the stage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From afar, Zi Ye’s eyes flickered with purple light, carrying a killing aura.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ethereal girl, Yu Fei, also turned her beautiful eyes, filled with curiosity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By then, there was no question that Lin Xuan had become the undisputed first place of Arena One, with no one daring to challenge him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Half a day later, the final results came out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top three from each of the three arenas would participate in the final battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The top three from Arena One were Lin Xuan, Shadowless, and Duan Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Lin Xuan was the biggest dark horse, while Duan Fei was a Second Grade Rune Master from Rain Country, a stable performer and an old-time powerhouse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Arena Two, the top were Zi Ye, Jiang Feng, and Ouyang Changming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ouyang Changming had lost to Zi Ye, it did not mean he wasn’t formidable!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the contrary, being able to sustain the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil for ten breaths was enough to prove his strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, he secured the third place in Group Two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was even after he had been injured, believing that after some adjustment, he would perform even better in the finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Feng, on the other hand, was a disciple of the Shadow Hall from Ying Country, second only to Shadowless in strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Arena Three, the first place was the Spiritual Girl Yu Fei, with Yan Bing and Bi Jingshan taking second and third place, respectively, representing Rain Country and Ying Country.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the group stages over, two people from Xia Country had made it to the finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although still at a disadvantage among the three nations, it was already a significant improvement from the past.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone returned to the stands to rest, preparing for tomorrow’s finals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You performed well, but tomorrow’s matches will be even more dangerous, do not take them lightly!” Elder Song said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though Ying Country had several injured disciples, their overall strength was still tremendously strong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was evident from the number of participants in the finals: out of nine spots, Ying Country occupied four—a full half!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain Country also could not be underestimated—the performance of that Spiritual Girl was very stunning, no less impressive than Lin Xuan’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan and Ouyang Changming nodded seriously, then both began to meditate and rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was reflecting on his battle with Shadowless during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That battle gave him new insights, especially in the Wind Realm, which he understood profoundly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This had increased the power of his Wind Emperor’s Sword and even improved his movement technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he couldn’t completely merge with the wind like Shadowless, his speed was much faster than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The night passed without words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next day, the sun rose, illuminating the entire valley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The black Array Platform emitted a faint rosy glow as the three arenas merged into one vast arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the scars on the black ground from the previous day had completely vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd marveled, and Lin Xuan also looked around with curious eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Must be the Array has an automatic repair effect,” Lord of Wine communicated telepathically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan understood and turned his attention away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the purple-robed elder took the stage again and declared loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now, the final battle of the Engraving Tower begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The first match, Duan Fei against Zi Ye.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd was slightly stunned, not expecting to see Zi Ye compete in the first match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the disciples of Ying Country erupted in cheers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rain Country, on the other hand, bore looks of distress.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I surrender,” Duan Fei said with a wry smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength, he stood no chance against the Purple Extreme Demon Pupil, and since the finals were a points-based competition, where nine people would all face off against each other, conserving strength was the most important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You know what’s good for you!” Zi Ye sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Duan Fei is wise,” an elder from Rain Country sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Referee Elder smiled slightly, immediately declared Zi Ye the victor, and then announced in a serious tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next, the second match, Yu Fei against Ouyang Changming.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Another heavyweight match.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the final, it could be said that every single match was thrilling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ouyang and Elder Song’s eyes flickered, aware that Ouyang Changming’s chances of winning weren’t great, given that Yu Fei was a martial artist of comparable strength to Zi Ye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s see what he decides,” Elder Ouyang felt somewhat heavy-hearted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without any hesitation, Ouyang Changming chose to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elder Ouyang felt reassured, but immediately tensed up again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he was satisfied with Ouyang Changming’s decision, the outlook of the battle was not optimistic.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The girl in the blue dress, resembling a fairy descending to earth, carried not a hint of worldliness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Opposite her, Ouyang Changming’s face was somewhat pale, but his eyes were exceptionally firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Spring Rain Traceless!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yu Fei’s arm, delicate as a lotus, waved through the air, creating ripples in the atmosphere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An unidentifiable force emerged, spreading out like ripples in water.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hiss, hiss!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A ripple touched the ground and at once a tiny hole appeared.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It contained Soul Power, an elder murmured in awe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan felt the killing intent within the ripples and his eyebrows slightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Clearly, the Spiritual Girl’s Engraving Skill had reached a terrifying level, integrating seamlessly into her attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Soul Barrier!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Changming shouted, as Soul Power merged into his Spiritual Armor, forming a double layer of defense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, his body moved swiftly as he charged towards the Spiritual Girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surging Waves Hitting the Shore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Changming’s Long Sword sliced through the air, like a streak of Sword Light, cutting towards the Spiritual Girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whoosh, whoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Girl extended her palm, sending out a blue ribbon that flew forth carrying a gentle force like drifting clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like a Spiritual Snake, the blue ribbon wrapped around the Long Sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Surging Waves Hitting the Shore!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Spiritual Girl released the move and her aura transformed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the gentle rain of spring, it suddenly transformed into a raging Gale, as if boulders were flying through the air.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immense energy burst forth like ocean waves, crashing against Ouyang Changming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bang, bang, bang!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three waves roared in succession, surging forward with compounded force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pff!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ouyang Changming’s grip on his Long Sword loosened as he was sent flying backward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Such a terrifying force!” he thought, shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The surrounding disciples were also stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three-layered attack was like real ocean waves, towering tens of meters high in the air, causing upheaval.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This sight instilled a sense of helplessness in the group of disciples.\u003C\u002Fp>",1325,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","e9397fd46eacfeea51f703e823a68eeaefebc98aecba351445fa9f62280c8065","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-236","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-234",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
