With Countless Qualities Bestowed Upon Me, I Shall Ultimately Become Immortal Chapter 393 - 359: The Inverted Sword, Tiger Form Mark, and

ng Chuan’s heart was already filled with an unspoken anger from being deliberately targeted.

The blazing white fla that surged from his fist was ant to unleash all of it.

Do they really think I’m a pushover?

So what if you’re the top of the last session!

"Just a re First Limit, on what grounds can you break free from my Shadow Bind..."

She Yu, despite being stunned montarily by ng Chuan’s terrifying force, regained her composure quickly.

After all, she was a Martial Extre True Inheritance from the last session, and a Second Limit.

She Yu quickly reacted, flipping her hand to gather montum.

Her True Qi flowed mightily like a python, silver-white like silk, wrapping around her arm and solidifying swiftly, and she raised her palm to resist heavily.

The others had already unanimously retreated to a safe distance, holding their breaths and watching the epic battle between the two.

It was like a cot crashing into the earth, at the last critical mont.

Boom—!

Unbeknownst to anyone, Shang Ruyi appeared beside She Yu and blocked the punch for her.

At the sa ti, his left palm interlocked with She Yu’s.

Upon contact, True Qi, Power, and the Snake Form’s true essence—all of She Yu’s skills—dissipated entirely.

ng Chuan similarly felt his right fist as if it were stuck in a swamp, unable to pull it out.

As he continued to exert force, it felt like it was disappearing into the void.

The Tiger Form’s aura gathered as if it were a living creature, and a massive striped tiger slowly erged beside Shang Ruyi.

It raised its head, with the sound of a tiger’s roar echoing through the forest following closely!

Roar!!!

The two of them imdiately retreated dozens of steps, retreating as far as into the crowd before they could withstand this overwhelming roar.

The fierce tiger squatted down, licked its fur, glanced at the two of them, and then transford into a whiff of breeze, disappearing instantly.

"From now on, and especially when we enter the Demon Nest, no internal conflict is allowed.

If there’s any grievance, resolve it after the trial. Different paths cannot work together, focus on your own tasks, and don’t let Principal Sui down."

Shang Ruyi shouted these words.

This tiger’s roar was like a mark, deeply imprinting itself in the minds of the two.

Whenever there was another internal conflict, their hearts and spirits would recall these words.

Shang Ruyi’s spiritual power worked as gently as the spring wind and rain, silently opening the minds of the two.

However, this would not affect them in any way—it would only trigger the warning when their bodies made contact.

ng Chuan vaguely sensed that it would dissipate in a few days.

This was the thod of a Martial Arts Grandmaster, which left him in awe.

However, he admired Shang Ruyi’s character even more.

He himself had seized the ’Martial Extre True Inheritance’ opportunity from Shang Ruyi’s disciple, yet his handling of the situation was impartial and unbiased.

Truly deserving of being a practitioner of the Tiger Form, magnanimous and bold.

But why does Motohiko act like a turtle wimp, letting a woman use him like this...

After taking it all in, the panel in his mind suddenly flashed a few tis, and ng Chuan’s eyes brightened.

"No way, can this trigger the Reverse Engraving Pattern?"

In his mind, the mark left by Shang Ruyi lay dormant like a beast.

Touching it with his senses, it was no different from the Crane Form mark previously obtained from Luo Qin at the Celestial Master Mansion.

Now was not the ti to explore it, ng Chuan cupped his hands towards Shang Ruyi, completely ignoring She Yu, and turned back to the Yong’an people.

...

On the other side, Motohiko was completely calm now.

He clearly understood that the power ng Chuan had displayed was far from his limit.

True Martial Arts, his battle armor, and those freakish physical techniques were yet unrevealed.

But even so, he feared he still couldn’t withstand it...

His tiger whip had already gone flaccid, his mind fully alert.

Not that he underestimated himself, but his three apertures couldn’t compete against ng Chuan’s one.

Now, both were at the six apertures stage, could he stand a chance...

Thinking thus, he couldn’t help but look at ng Chuan with a tinge of fear in his eyes.

"Is this kid chickening out?"

ng Chuan’s Tao Heart trembled within, also sensing this scene.

But he didn’t mind, his opponent’s master was still present, and he had just gained a benefit.

With Shang Ruyi present, those who understand the tis get the upper hand...

Once this matter was settled, if She Yu continued to pester him.

After the spiritual power imprint in his mind dissipated, he would teach her a good lesson.

rely entering the Second Limit, ng Chuan was fearless, ready to take action.

At this mont, She Yu’s thoughts were turbulent, unable to comprehend.

How a re First Limit could break free from the chains of her [Position].

Her targeting of ng Chuan was simply a matter of ’habit.’

She was simply used to suppressing everything, ever since she started learning National Righteous Boxing, She Yu had been the big sister of the school.

Even at the Northern United University, she still stood out as the premier Martial Extre True Inheritance of her peers.

Initially ordering ng Chuan was just a matter of inertia, never expecting him to give no face.

Thus leading to today’s events, viewing ng Chuan as a maverick that needed to be suppressed.

Today’s events made her lose face, waiting for the spiritual power in her mind to dissipate...

...

The following night.

Outside Dengzhou City, in the Hengshan Military Forbidden Zone.

This was the location of [Yellow Sand 011], countless powerful figures moved about, like specks of candlelight in the night, eventually gathering at the foot of the mountain into a blazing torch.

These were all the elite young Martial Arts Families of the Four-sided Alliance University for the past two years.

Looking out, seven or eight hundred people waited here.

There were acquaintances across universities who hadn’t seen each other in a long ti, engaging in conversation.

Anyone capable of passing the exam for the Four-sided Alliance University, even if just a regular student.

The age at which he ascended to beco a Martial Arts Family would not exceed thirty.

At thirty, for a Martial Arts Family, it’s rely the age of youth.

"Brother Wang, you have broken through too?"

"Haha, just barely, at twenty-eight. If I hadn’t broken through, it would be too late."

Wang Zhiyuan is a senior at Western United University, and just broke through to beco a Martial Arts Family two months ago.

Seeing the faces around him, most younger than himself, he felt a slight sense of emotion.

He looked into the distance, where many participants wearing Flying Dragon uniforms were coming towards them.

Fengtian is far from Dengzhou, and it takes a long ti to get there.

After ng Chuan stopped and stood firm, he scanned the Martial Arts Familes of the other three universities.

So familiar faces greeted him; they were acquaintances he had seen before at the Supernova competition.

But most of the others he did not know, as he was usually busy practicing martial arts and had no ti to pay attention to these things.

While performing his ntal exercises and training in his spare ti, ng Chuan’s gaze turned to his right, among a group of people dressed in white-background martial arts uniforms with wave patterns.

His eyes were focused on a person carrying a sword in the Eastern United University’s team.

[Inverted Sword·Chen Xuan], the only top genius in the entire elite scene recorded in the national talent pool...

ng Chuan had always been paying attention to the assessnt matters of the national talent pool.

He currently only has the entry quota, and the specific assessnt has not yet started; he doesn’t even know what to take.

"If there is a chance, I should ask him about it."

There is very little personal information about Chen Xuan available online, with no recorded competition videos.

But the fact that he can obtain a spot in the national talent pool makes ng Chuan certain that this person is definitely very strong.

Moreover, the sword on his back feels like it has an invisible cutting force, even given ng Chuan’s current physical strength.

This sharp illusion, which arises even before touching it, is sothing that [Naihe Bridge on the Moon] cannot provide him at the mont.

Thus, the identity of the sword behind Chen Xuan is quite obvious.

"Is it a Grandmaster Level True Martial..."

Chen Xuan is rely at the one limit, and having a four-grade Grandmaster True Martial is the upper limit, as an instrunt cannot be overloaded.

Above five-grade True Martial, they are weapons of legend, passed down for over a thousand years.

In the long years, nurtured by generations, intelligence has already ford within.

Just like ng Chuan before, in the special combat achievent area of the rit armory.

Seeing the six-grade Celestial King Divine Weapon, [Dawn Divine Sword].

It is said that the age of this sword is even older than recorded history.

So people say that the Dawn Divine Sword was transford from a wisp of mystical energy that leaked out when the ancient chaos first opened, when heaven and earth were like a boiling cauldron cooking mystical colors.

Others have ntioned that this sword was the stabilizing sword obtained during a dream with the Nine Heavens Goddess when Emperor Xuan Yuan battled Chiyou.

Emperor Xuan Yuan is said to have demarcated the land with this sword, where the sword qi passed, the mountains and rivers were reshaped, and the rivers changed course, finally establishing the pattern of the nine provinces.

ng Chuan does not really believe these two statents.

But what is recorded in true history is that from ancient tis to the present, every ti this sword is unsheathed.

It causes geographical anomalies, either aiding a wise king to calm the troubled tis or helping heroes to slay demons and monsters.

Now it is stored in Great Chu’s treasury, waiting for a fateful person to gather enough special battle rits to exchange it.

ng Chuan thinks there is no chance for him; even if he could accumulate so many special battle rits.

What use is exchanging it for a sword when double "Divine Fists" aren’t enticing enough?

Moreover, True Martial above five grades are all referred to as Divine Weapons.

Without matching strength, such Divine Weapons will not recognize an owner.

Most require reaching the realm of "Harmony with Divine Intent," which ans that only a venerable has the qualification to hold them and unleash their power.

...

He did not dwell on these distant matters, as ng Chuan ca back to his senses.

Like everyone from Northern United University, he gathered around Shang Ruyi, listening to him explain the trial’s precautions.

Shang Ruyi said:

"This ti, the competition between the four schools is based on battle rits to determine rankings, essentially looking at how many Celestial Demons the four schools each killed and their quality.

Although there is no personal leaderboard in this trial, individual contributions within the group can be recorded through the military’s special item [Battle rit Jade Symbol], reflecting each of your gained battle rits.

Those who rank at the top in contributions will be tallied after the trial ends, and individual rewards will be given at that ti.

You can keep the Celestial Demon materials for yourself and exchange them for additional battle rits at the logistics departnt afterward.

Of course, you can also sell them to the school to convert them into academic credits.

How you choose depends on your personal needs."

ng Chuan nodded in agreent; he’s no fool, so of course, he’ll exchange them for academic credits.

The people at Yong’an Campus share the sa thinking.

ng Chuan took this year’s [Martial Extre True Inheritance], taking advantage of the eight-five discount promotion still lasting another month.

It’s definitely more cost-effective to exchange for academic credits and then convert them into resources.

Individuals from other campuses do not enjoy this benefit.

At this mont, in their hearts, they silently envy the people from Yong’an.

Especially those from the headquarters, looking at Motohiko with eyes that express a bit of disappointnt at his inability to fulfill expectations.

Seeing this, Motohiko’s expression was a bit helpless.

He also doesn’t want to lose, but if he can’t win, he just can’t...

However...

He gazed at ng Chuan and thought to himself:

"Although ng Chuan is skilled at fighting people, when it cos to hunting Celestial Demons, I should have an advantage..."

This wasn’t his first ti going down to the Demon Nest, as he once participated with his master, gaining so related experience.

ng Chuan was unaware that Motohiko, in his heart, was again comparing himself.

He just wanted to take this trial to accumulate more battle rits and academic credits for use when he advances to two limits.

Seeing that the commander of Dengzhou’s Defense Army had not arrived yet, ng Chuan closed his eyes to regulate his breathing and took the opportunity to cultivate.

Half an hour later, an extrely imposing middle-aged man walked over.

He has a standard square face, most notable for his eyes.

His eyes are like an eagle, bright and intelligent.

ng Chuan understood; this person was the military leader responsible for coordinating this four-school trial.

Five Limit Venerable, [Divine Eagle Falcon·Yang Zhuo].
