they did not take Lin Xuan seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the few Core Disciples ranked at the bottom grew worried.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially, they had not taken Lin Xuan seriously either, but after witnessing his movement technique just now, they became alert.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That speed gave them a chilling sensation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, the competition begins!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the center of the plaza, eleven young Martial Artists fought for five spots.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each one had to fight ten matches to determine the top five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The referee was an elder with a white beard, with a cultivation at the late stage of the Merging Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This level of cultivation entirely surpassed everyone else’s, allowing him to control the match well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first match was Lin Xuan’s, and his opponent was Han Jun, the Core Disciple ranked eighth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jun’s cultivation was at the peak of the Merging Spirit Realm, but his aura was far stronger than Chou Sihai’s and Duan Wuqing’s from before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ve heard you defeated Chou Sihai and Duan Wuqing?” Han Jun sneered, “I advise you to concede voluntarily; I am not someone they can compare with!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We’ll know if you compare, after we fight,” Lin Xuan replied solemnly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brave boy, indeed arrogant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch the fist!” Han Jun bellowed, his body flitting forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“War Wolf Divine Fist!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As his fist swung, it roared like a Demon Wolf, carrying an air of ferocity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind from the punch howled, shaking the surroundings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jun was right;

with this movement technique, he can maintain an Innate Invincible position!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, after dozens of moves, Han Jun had not even touched a single corner of Lin Xuan’s clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jun’s face darkened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Facing a junior in the middle stage of Fusion Spirit Realm, he was unable to land a hit, which he found extremely humiliating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Wolf Battles on the Wild!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Numerous fist shadows turned into hundreds of green shadowed War Wolves, engulfing the entire arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each War Wolf had the strength to kill a Peak Martial Artist of the Merging Spirit Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A terrifying horde of wolves pounced towards Lin Xuan, their visages fierce and gruesome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan merely swept out a sword strike that extinguished all attacks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Minor Sword Intent!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The rumor is true!” sensing that overwhelming Sword Intent, the crowd burst into discussion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How does Minor Sword Intent matter?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watch my Green Wolf Swallowing the Moon!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Han Jun exerted his Spiritual Power and formed a green wolf shadow behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wind Emperor’s Sword!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thunder Shock Sword Light flashed past, like a sudden Thunder appearing, its sharp Sword Qi instantly penetrating the Green Wolf’s illusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Han Jun’s face turned white, trembling as he staggered back ten steps, staring at Lin Xuan in horror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What fierce Sword Intent!” That strike just now, Lin Xuan could have killed him completely; if this weren’t a match, he would probably already be dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The winner, Lin Xuan!” the Referee Elder quickly announced the result.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crowd gasped, the outcome surprising them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Lin Xuan’s abilities were spoken of as if they were legendary, defeating Han Jun so effortlessly still seemed surreal to everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter half of the Core Disciples all became tense, and even those ranked higher were cautious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s strength had taken them all by surprise, and it seemed only people like Ouyang Kun could remain at ease.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, in the following matches, Lin Xuan’s strength once again confirmed everyone’s thoughts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>None of the last five Core Disciples could contend with him, and his victories were incredibly smooth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Besides this, Ouyang Kun’s performance was even more spectacular, with even the second-ranked Yan Ming losing to him within thirty moves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It looks like this time the first place undoubtedly belongs to Ouyang Kun.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes, but I feel those five spots are still uncertain.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I think Hua Fei can snatch a spot, her Soul Attacks are too tricky!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That Lin Xuan isn’t bad either, so powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lord Iron Hand is amazing for being able to find such a talented youth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, look, Hua Fei and Lin Xuan have begun their bout!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the Arena, Hua Fei appeared cute and playful, with dimples on her cheeks, looking like the girl next door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, if someone truly regarded her as just the girl next door, they would be sorely mistaken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hehe, let me see what this genius is made of!” Hua Fei picked up a zither and gently started to play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ding Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The pleasing sound rose, enchanting the listeners, yet within the music lurked a devious Soul Attack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary warriors of the Merging Spirit Realm, if unguarded, would certainly be in trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even those in the Spirit Transformation Realm would have to face such assaults cautiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan was not worried, as he too was an expert in Soul Power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With light steps, he swiftly dodged arced assaults, while executing the Phantom Sword Technique to form the Phantom Sword Formation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He resisted Hua Fei’s Soul Attack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This guy is too formidable!” the onlookers exclaimed from below.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Hua Fei was continuously surprised, her beautiful eyes revealing a shocked expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You are also a Soul Type martial artist!” She opened her mouth slightly, and her fingers playing the zither stilled for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, Lin Xuan seized this opportunity, the Phantom Sword forming a strange assault, slashing toward Hua Fei.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Fei let out a light hum, her fingers moving to play, and a sequence of wonderful music sounded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Spiritual Power vibrated rapidly, condensing into divine birds and holy beasts’ phantasms on the Arena, fluttering with the melody.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zither Skill harmonizing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Fei seems to be using her Absolute Skill!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s brow furrowed slightly, sensing a crisis amidst these illusions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sword Qi soared to the heavens, the Great Dragon Sword Intent emitting a deep Dragon Roar, terrifying Sword Light filling every direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dong!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Fei’s fingers paused, and a string on her vertical zither snapped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This vertical zither was a Mid Spirit-grade Treasure, very powerful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, its strings, made from the sinews of an Eighth Rank Demon Beast, were incredibly elastic, and should not have snapped at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only reason for their snapping was that they had been severed by Lin Xuan’s Sword Intent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Lin Xuan wins!” declared the Referee Elder aloud.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Fei hummed lightly, carrying her zither as she walked down from the Arena.\u003C\u002Fp>",1347,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.018Z",1,"novelbin.me","6140e28a811ac39411c388048bf280000690c18453446d554dc4fe32024c647d","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-105","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-104",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
