Inverse Sword Mad God
Chapter 443 - 443 442 Green Dragon Genius

443: Chapter 442 Green Dragon Genius 443: Chapter 442 Green Dragon Genius Everyone was stunned, apparently unable to anticipate this outcome.

However, the numerous elders in the stands were intently watching the Green Jade Treasure Sword in Lin Xuan’s hand.

“Is that sword a Top-Grade Spirit Rank Treasure?”

“Yes, why does it look so familiar?

It very much resembles the sword from the Evil King back in the day!”

“Yes, it must be the Wind Shadow Sword.

I can’t believe this youngster managed to acquire it,” Lord Iron Hand said slowly.

“What?

It really is the Wind Shadow Sword!

No wonder it could defeat Ouyang Kun!” the elders exclaimed in astonishment.

A Top-Grade Spirit Rank Treasure was exceptionally rare even in Dragon Star Country, and the terrifying attack bonus it provided could allow its wielder to challenge opponents beyond their rank.

Ouyang Kun stared at the Wind Shadow Sword in Lin Xuan’s hand, his face filled with reluctance, but he had lost and could only leave the stage begrudgingly.

“I can’t believe Lin Xuan actually has a Top-Grade Spirit Rank Treasure.

Such treasures are rare even in Big Banner Sect!”

“Ouyang Kun actually lost, but it’s not a wrongful loss, standing against a Top-Grade Spirit Rank Treasure, even an early-stage Spirit Transformation Realm powerhouse might not be able to contend.”

“This kid really is lucky, to actually possess a Top-Grade Spirit Rank Treasure!”

People were buzzing with discussion, attributing Lin Xuan’s victory to the merit of the Wind Shadow Sword.

However, they didn’t know that the Wind Shadow Sword was just one of many secrets Lin Xuan held, and even without it, he could still have won the competition.

He simply didn’t want to reveal his other trump cards.

With the end of this match, the competition for the Azure Dragon Society spot also concluded, and Lin Xuan emerged as the biggest dark horse, claiming first place.

He secured the spot in the Azure Dragon Society, and a mysterious grand prize awaited him.

Not just Lin Xuan, everyone was curious about this mysterious reward.

Though they guessed and speculated, they still couldn’t determine what it was.

After the competition ended, Lord Iron Hand summoned Lin Xuan.

In the old and elegant study, Lord Iron Hand scrutinized Lin Xuan persistently.

“To tell the truth, I didn’t expect you to get this far.

Before this, I didn’t even think you could secure a spot in the Azure Dragon Society.”

“Now it depends on your performance in the Azure Dragon Society.”

“I will definitely strive for the best ranking!” Lin Xuan said.

“With your current strength, it’s indeed unlikely that you’ll obtain the Azure Dragon Energy.”

“If you can make it into the top hundred this time, you could very likely break into the top thirty next session!” Lord Iron Hand said.

“Azure Dragon Energy, impossible?” Lin Xuan was taken aback.

“In the entire Azure Dragon Society, only seventy-two people can acquire True Dragon Qi.

These individuals are unparalleled geniuses, and their power is beyond your imagination,” Lord Iron Hand continued.

“In the history of Big Banner Sect, the best outcome was only reaching the top fifty, and the rest probably struggled even to make it into the top hundred.”

Lin Xuan frowned slightly; this was not what he had expected, considering he was aiming for the first rank.

“I want to know what the strength of the top few martial artists in the Azure Dragon Society is?”

“Hm?”

Lord Iron Hand was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised by Lin Xuan’s question, as he thought Lin Xuan was setting his sights too high.

Yet, he still provided an explanation.

“In the entire Southern Domain, there are four unparalleled geniuses.

These people all hail from Five-star Sects with profound foundations.”

“For instance, the top-ranked Ba Wuji, he is the Chief Disciple of Domineering Sect.

His strength has reached the late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm, and it is even rumored that he has sparred with Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists, enduring hundreds of moves without defeat.”

“Late-stage Spirit Transformation!

And sparred with Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists?” Lin Xuan was stunned, unable to believe the strength of the top-ranked.

His cultivation reached the late-stage Spirit Transformation Realm!

Lord Iron Hand continued speaking: “Apart from Ba Wuji, there is also Zhou Jianying from Ten Thousand Sword Sect.”

“Last time, her Sword Intent had already reached 70%, and this time, it has become even more terrifying.

It’s rumored that she is very close to achieving Great Success Sword Intent.”

“So, the Azure Dragon Society is far more challenging than you imagined!”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, these geniuses were indeed beyond his expectations.

No wonder Lord Iron Hand didn’t hold much hope for him earlier, with his current level facing these people, he would likely be defeated in one move.

“Although you can’t resist these heavenly talents, if your cultivation progresses a bit more, obtaining a slot as a Green Dragon Genius is still possible.”

Green Dragon Genius is the title for the top seventy-two martial artists, all of whom can enjoy the Azure Dragon Energy, thus are called Green Dragon Geniuses.

“Moreover, don’t be too disheartened.

Your talent is exceptional, you will surely shine in the next competition!”

Lord Iron Hand was still very impressed with Lin Xuan’s talent.

At such a young age, he had already grasped fifty percent of the Sword Intent, and even had the Wind Realm, which is a rare gift.

“Cultivation progresses another step?” Lin Xuan queried.

The reason he had progressed so quickly was because of the Evil King Crystal he possessed, otherwise, even a peerless genius would find it impossible to enhance their cultivation in a short period of time.

Seeing the confusion in Lin Xuan’s eyes, Lord Iron Hand smiled faintly, “Follow me.”

The two walked toward the depths of Big Banner Sect.

The back mountain was a Forbidden Land of the Big Banner Sect; besides Lord Iron Hand, no one else was allowed to enter.

At this moment, however, Lord Iron Hand was leading Lin Xuan into the Forbidden Land.

Through a dark stone cave, they arrived in an underground world.

Below was a huge palace, its decorations and furnishings almost identical to those of the Big Banner Sect’s grand hall.

“This is?” Lin Xuan was puzzled, unsure why Lord Iron Hand had brought him here.

Lord Iron Hand pushed open the blood-red gates, leading Lin Xuan inside.

Upon entering, Lin Xuan felt a piercing cold, as if he had walked into the Ten Thousand Year Ice Cave.

“You are here.”

A weak voice sounded, carrying a trace of fatigue.

“Sect Leader, are you alright?” Lord Iron Hand asked concernedly.

“Sect Leader?” Lin Xuan gasped, suddenly looking up and forwards.

There, in front, was a blue throne emitting traces of Cold Energy, noticeable even from a distance.

The woman sitting lazily on the Ice Throne had a stern face, her eyes filled with endless exhaustion, her graceful body leaning against the throne.

Flickering faintly, there was also a strand of black flames dancing.

“This person is actually the Sect Leader of Big Banner Sect!” Lin Xuan was shocked in his heart.

During his time here, he had learned that Lord Iron Hand was the Vice Sect Leader of Big Banner Sect, yet he had never heard about the Sect Leader.

Not just him; even many disciples and even the core disciples had never seen her.

Lin Xuan had never imagined that the mysteriously unreachable Sect Leader of Big Banner Sect would be a woman!

And she looked extremely weak.

“This person is injured, and the injuries are severe.” Lord of Wine conveyed, “See that black flame?

Such a flame could likely burn Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists to death.”

“Spirit Communication Realm Martial Artists can be burned to death?” Xuan was stunned as he intently observed the black flames.

With his exceptional soul, he could clearly feel how terrifying that flame was; he really did not know how this woman had endured it.

“Fortunately, she has the blue Ice Throne, otherwise she would have been burned to death long ago.”

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, then respectfully said,

“Youngster Lin Xuan, greets the elder.”

“Lin Xuan?

Isn’t he that Ouyang Kun you mentioned?” the stern woman frowned and spoke.
