Although he didn’t know her, he recognized the emblem on her clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just a few days ago, during his life-and-death battle, a group of people wearing such attire gathered near the arena.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My name is Xue Man, from the Ice and Snow Pavilion within the academy,\" the girl said softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ice and Snow Pavilion.\" Lin Xuan nodded slightly, recalling vividly that the one leading the Ice and Snow Pavilion that day was a woman with silver hair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her strength was terrifying, even surpassing Yan Qingfeng.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What brings you here?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not me looking for you; it’s my sister who wants to see you. Come with me.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your sister?\" Lin Xuan was puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh my, you’re so dense!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My sister is naturally the master of the Ice and Snow Pavilion, the Bing Ling Fairy! Also known to you as the Snow Woman.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bing Ling Fairy, what does she want with me?\" Lin Xuan was even more puzzled; it seemed they didn’t know each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You’ll find out when you get there.\" The girl pouted, \"You’re not afraid to go, are you? You’re a grown man, aren’t you?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why wouldn’t I go,\" Lin Xuan smiled slightly, \"Lead the way.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, under Xue Man’s guidance, the two left the freshman area and headed east of the Immortal Martial Academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After flying for about thirty minutes, Xue Man stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ahead was a snow-covered valley, pure white.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Snowflakes even drifted down from the sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How peculiar!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inwardly, Lin Xuan marveled; he hadn’t expected such a strange place within the academy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In truth, this was perfectly normal. The Immortal Martial Academy was immensely vast, far larger than he realized, encompassing all kinds of terrains, mountains, rivers, lakes, you name it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A valley with falling snow wasn’t something out of the ordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Entering the valley, Lin Xuan noticed several blue pavilions, presumably these people’s residences.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not far from the left side of the pavilions was a blue bamboo grove, each bamboo transparent like crystal, seemingly composed of ice and snow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Ice Frost Bamboo, containing powerful Ice Frost Power, an excellent aid for martial artists cultivating the ice attribute.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, in front of the bamboo, a white figure stared expressionlessly at Lin Xuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So cold!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feeling that gaze, Lin Xuan’s heart was startled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cold energy embedded in that gaze made him feel uncomfortable all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sister Bing Ling, I brought him,\" Xue Man said with a gentle smile towards the white-clad figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm,\" Bing Ling nodded slightly, then looked at Lin Xuan again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Lin Xuan began assessing the other person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Setting aside that cold aura, Bing Ling was undoubtedly a stunning beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A gorgeous face, an exquisite figure wrapped in a white dress, hints of enticing curves could be glimpsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her exquisite face showed no expression, but it was not hard to imagine that if that face smiled, it could make all of creation lose its color.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>More intriguing was that she had silver hair, adding a touch of mystery to her already extraordinary beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Greetings, Sister Bing Ling,\" Lin Xuan said. No matter what, as an old student, she deserved this bit of respect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother Lin is too courteous,\" Bing Ling said lightly, \"This time I invited you here mainly because there’s a mission I want to invite you to join. Are you interested?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"A mission? What kind of mission?\" Lin Xuan was surprised, thinking a mission accepted by the Snow Woman must be extraordinary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four-star task.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Four-star task!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was surprised, eyes narrowing, then he said, \"Four-star tasks can only be taken by old students. As a freshman, I don’t seem to have that qualification.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As for the academy’s rules, Lin Xuan had already figured them out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Immortal Martial Academy, a vast array of tasks was issued almost daily, ranked from one star to five stars based on their difficulty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>New students typically could only take on tasks up to three stars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though it seemed unreasonable, this rule was well thought out by the academy, crafted to protect the safety of new students.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You must know that a three-star task was already incredibly challenging, generally requiring the strength of a Venerable to complete.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only a rare few genius martial artists among new students had the qualifications to complete such tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most other new students could only take on one-star or two-star tasks, waiting until they had been in the academy for a year and become old students to take on higher-level tasks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan had already completed a three-star task, but he had never been able to take on a four-star task, simply because he was a new student.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, they were inviting him to a four-star task.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to worry about qualifications. Since I invited you, naturally, I can handle that,\" Bing Ling said calmly, always maintaining her serene expression, as if nothing could stir her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"But why choose me?\" Lin Xuan asked again, \"There should be plenty of martial artists in the Immortal Martial Academy capable of participating in a four-star task, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And there are many with a higher cultivation than mine; why specifically choose me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Because of your strength!\" Bing Ling stated directly, \"I watched your match with Yan Qingfeng a few days ago. Your strength is outstanding, exceeding everyone’s expectations!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Especially your decisive and sharp killing move. I greatly admire it, which is why I’m inviting you to join.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"However, I must clarify that I didn’t only invite you. This four-star task is a team mission with a total of five members.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides you, I’ve also invited three others.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Moreover, the task’s rewards are generous. If the task is successfully completed, you can earn a reward of one million Spiritual Value.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One million!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Xuan was shocked, taking a cold breath.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s important to know that a Half Earth-rank Martial Arts skill typically costs only three hundred thousand Spiritual Value. One million would let you exchange for three Half Earth-rank Martial Arts skills!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you completed such a task four or five times, you could even exchange for a complete Earth-grade Martial Arts technique!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This kind of temptation is probably irresistible for anyone.\u003C\u002Fp>",1236,"2026-06-06T00:47:04.517Z",1,"novelbin.me","ef58682aa9dcf0548c7c7d69e422860e5abec1018bf60c1839b301091f53e1bc","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-854","inverse-sword-mad-god-chapter-852",1795,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Finverse-sword-mad-god-cover.jpg"]
