he would be scared away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To their relief, Lin Xuan had a calm expression, showing no reaction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmph, this kid looks foolish and dares to challenge Brother Zhang Qian, he really must be tired of living!” Shi Kun’s companion sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I’ll teach him a lesson right now!” Shi Kun said with a cruel face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Brother Lin, how about we spar a bit?” Shi Kun asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm…” Lin Xuan pretended to ponder for a moment before saying, “Alright, but please go easy on me, Senior Brother.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kun waited nervously, afraid that he would refuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Lin Xuan responded, Shi Kun’s chubby face burst into a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph, I’ll let you see just how formidable I am shortly!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They found an empty arena, and Shi Kun and Lin Xuan stepped onto it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instantly, the surrounding Inner Sect Disciples gathered around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah, it’s too foolish, Lin Xuan is actually going up!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t he know that Shi Kun is a Cultivator at the Seventh Level of Pulse Condensation?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shi Kun is one of Zhang Qian’s followers, and Lin Xuan has provoked Zhang Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He probably won’t even last till the three-month life-and-death battle before someone cripples him!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was a buzz of conversation below the platform, while on the Challenge Platform, Shi Kun smirked coldly: “Kid, since you dared to offend Brother Zhang Qian, you might as well wait for death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’re one of Zhang Qian’s men?” Lin Xuan pretended to be shocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hahaha!” A group of disciples from the Divine Power Group laughed loudly, their faces filled with the thrill of a cunning plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Alright, you’ve seen what you expected, let’s get started!” Lin Xuan’s originally fearful expression disappeared, replaced by calmness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What do you mean?” Shi Kun and the others had a bad feeling, as Lin Xuan’s change was too eerie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What I mean is, I was just playing with you all just now!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, thanks for the five hundred spirit stones you gave me!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A layer of golden light emerged under Lin Xuan’s feet, and he suddenly executed Illusion Thunder Step, turning into a golden flash of electricity, disappearing from the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You, a sixth-tier Cultivator, dare to talk big!” Shi Kun drew out a high-grade treasure sword, forming a ring of Sword Waves around him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kun is really cautious, he even defends first against a new Disciple,” observed several disciples recognizing the sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My Water Wave Sword Wave is unmatched in defense, even cultivators of the same rank can’t break it, I will counterattack after he appears and attacks!” Shi Kun quickly thought of a way to counter Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Kun’s plan was good, but he encountered Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Crack, crack, crack!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A crisp cracking sound arose, and the crowd looked in surprise, only to see the blue Sword Waves in front of Shi Kun forcefully torn open, a golden Thunder ruthlessly destroying it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Impossible, how could this be?” Shi Kun’s eyes bulged, “How can a sixth-tier kid break my defense?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could ponder further, a fair handprint appeared on his chest, and golden Thunder instantly spread all over his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Intense tingling pain caused Shi Kun’s body to convulse continuously before he fell to the ground, losing the ability to fight back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a single strike, Shi Kun was utterly defeated!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is this the strength of the top new Disciple, how terrifying!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When did the newcomers become so powerful?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m sort of looking forward to the life-and-death battle in three months!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan’s strength stunned everyone; this seemingly frail young man struck with the ferocity of Thunder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five hundred spirit stones, hand them over,” Lin Xuan said to Shi Kun’s companions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reluctantly, the group handed over the first-generation spirit stones and quickly left with Shi Kun, eager to inform Zhang Qian that Lin Xuan was more formidable than they had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Lin Xuan descended from the platform, he noticed that the way people looked at him had changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This change was quite normal; in this world, strength was revered—a rule no exception even within the Inner Sect of the Xuantian Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Having obtained five hundred spirit stones, Lin Xuan was in a great mood and hummed a tune as he left the challenge area.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a luxurious courtyard, a few disciples of the Divine Power Group were quietly speaking with Zhang Qian, among them Shi Kun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Are you saying that Lin Xuan is a rare Thunder attribute cultivator and he can fight above his level?” asked a young man in blue standing next to Zhang Qian.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Yes,” Shi Kun said, still frightened, “his Thunder power is formidable, and upon contact, it leaves one unable to muster any strength.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You all did well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here’s a bottle of healing elixir pills, take them,” Zhang Qian said, his face unperturbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Shi Kun and the others had left, the young man in blue remarked, “It seems this lad is not so weak; maybe he can provide us with some entertainment.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Humph!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just an ant,” responded Zhang Qian, his eyes devoid of emotion, “In some time, I will be ready to attempt reaching the Ninth Rank of Congealing Veins, and my goal will then be becoming a Core Disciple!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing ‘Core Disciple’, a flicker of light passed through the eyes of the young man in blue and he chuckled softly, “It seems this mission bodes well for you…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Cultivation Tower, Lin Xuan’s pace of cultivation had slowed, and he now urgently needed pressure to stimulate his potential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hence, he went to find Ye Qing to inquire about good places for cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Ye Qing heard that he needed pressure to spur himself on, she looked at him oddly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re truly a madman, to be so desperate for cultivation!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“No choice, between Zhang Qian and me, only one can survive!” said Lin Xuan helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your mad zeal is a lot like Senior Luo’s!” said Ye Qing, curling her lip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Senior Luo?” Lin Xuan remembered he had another senior brother under Instructor Murong.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of person is this Senior Luo, exactly?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t met him yet,” Lin Xuan asked curiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Come with me, I’ll take you to a great place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You’ll be satisfied!” Ye Qing said, her voice filled with mystery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Confused, Lin Xuan followed Ye Qing as they quickly headed out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, they arrived at the sect’s inner area where spirit beasts were kept.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Why have you brought me here?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Are you saying I should fight these spirit beasts?” Lin Xuan was even more bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Fool!” scolded Ye Qing, rolling her eyes, then she approached the steward responsible for the spirit beasts and rented a Spiritual Crane.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hey, Brother Lin, hurry up and pay!” urged Ye Qing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How much?” Lin Xuan asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Five hundred low-grade spirit stones.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What!” Lin Xuan glared at the Spiritual Crane, then resignedly handed over the spirit stones, realizing that in the Inner Sect, spirit stones were spent faster than running water!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Get on!” Ye Qing said with a smile once Lin Xuan had paid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was a first-tier Spiritual Crane, equivalent to a first-rank Demon Beast or a human cultivator at the Spirit Sea Realm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The crane, over a dozen meters long, had a little house firmly attached to its back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan climbed into the little house and watched as Ye Qing activated the Beast Taming Token; with a flap of its wings, the crane took off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Where are we going exactly?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m taking you to meet Senior Luo!” Ye Qing declared, “And I’ll introduce you to a great place for cultivation—a haven for madmen!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A good place for cultivation?” Lin Xuan’s eyes lit up, “Is it as good as the Cultivation Tower?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Almost, but even more interesting than the Cultivation Tower!” Ye Qing mysteriously smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>",1319,"2026-06-06T00:46:41.017Z",1,"novelbin.me","937359b5a845380a6e136913a26a11955573b2795ccc875a19f740354b837eb7","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-74","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-72",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
