Inverse Sword Mad God-Chapter 1554 - 1552: Three Buddha Statues

After saying this, he seemed to have lost all his luster.

As a supreme genius, he had his own pride, but now he realized he couldn’t beat the opponent at all.

Even if he fought, he would likely end up like Han Li—seriously injured, fate uncertain.

Instead of that, it’s better to simply admit defeat.

The surrounding people, upon hearing this, felt their scalps tingling in disbelief.

They couldn’t have imagined that Jiang Nantian actually admitted defeat directly.

This is more shocking than Han Li’s defeat.

You must know, Jiang Nantian is a peerless genius, such a person definitely has a stronger sense of dignity than ordinary people.

But now, the opponent voluntarily admitted defeat.

This indicates that he has absolutely no confidence in front of Lin Xuan. Probably not even a shred.

Otherwise, the opponent would never admit defeat.

Thinking of this, everyone was immensely shocked.

Just how powerful has Lin Xuan become? He made the heavenly pride martial artist from the Da Xuan Empire admit defeat directly!

This is definitely a once-in-a-millennium event.

"Alright, since that’s the case, I won’t make it difficult for you."

Lin Xuan nodded, then withdrew his aura and swiftly drifted downward.

Since the opponent admitted defeat, there was no need for him to fight any longer.

Besides, he had already achieved his goal this time, and Chu Yu would recommend him to join the Elixir Sect.

Lin Xuan did not go to Princess Caidie; instead, he found a quiet place and sat cross-legged.

Next, the competition continued.

The martial artists under the command of various princesses and princes sparred, but none of the matches were as exciting as when Lin Xuan and Han Li competed.

Finally, all the matches concluded, and Princess Caidie wished to enter the first tier as she had hoped.

Although the martial arts tournament had ended and the princesses and princes had left, the martial artists did not leave.

Because next, a grand banquet awaited them.

Lin Xuan stood up, ready to leave.

But at this moment, a beautiful maid quickly approached him and said respectfully, "Sir, my princess invites you."

"Hmm."

Lin Xuan nodded slightly, knowing this was someone sent by Princess Caidie.

So he did not refuse, following her directly.

In a palace at Yanbo Villa, Princess Caidie, Chu Yu, and those strong men under their command, were all gathered together.

Everyone wore expressions of excitement and eagerness, especially Princess Caidie, whose beautiful face bore a charming smile.

Soon, they saw the beautiful little maid bring Lin Xuan in.

Immediately, everyone stood up.

Those strong men under the command all appeared tense, given that Lin Xuan was an even more terrifying genius than Han Li.

Being with such a talent inevitably made them feel nervous and restrained. Princess Caidie, however, smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, please have a seat."

"Alright."

Lin Xuan nodded and sat down boldly.

"This time Caidie was able to enter the first tier, thanks to Mr. Lin’s intervention."

"It’s nothing, I merely exchanged terms with Fairy Chu Yu, so intervening was only proper."

Lin Xuan replied casually.

Then he glanced at Chu Yu: "Since I’ve done it, I hope the fairy won’t forget her promise."

"Rest assured, I will definitely enable your entry into the Elixir Sect."

"However, in what capacity you enter, I cannot say."

"But considering your abilities, you should be able to rise quickly." Chu Yu said.

At that moment, Princess Caidie asked, "I wonder why Mr. Lin seeks to join the Elixir Sect?"

"Why not join my Da Xuan Empire? Caidie promises to treat you with the highest honors."

Truth be told, their Da Xuan Empire and the Elixir Sect were equally powerful forces.

Therefore, she had such confidence in retaining Lin Xuan.

"Thank you for the princess’s kindness, but I’ve decided to join the Elixir Sect."

Lin Xuan shook his head, refusing.

Honestly, if it wasn’t for fulfilling Dan Yu King’s wish, Lin Xuan wouldn’t join the Elixir Sect, he would find a Holy Land to join.

So, there was even less chance for him to join the Da Xuan Empire.

Witnessing Lin Xuan’s resolute refusal, Princess Caidie was disappointed, but she then said.

"Bring up the gift I prepared."

Soon, a black-armored martial artist arrived, carrying a wooden box.

The wooden box was a foot high, adorned with exquisite carvings, evidently crafted from excellent wood.

"What is this?" Everyone wondered, even Lin Xuan was curious.

Princess Caidie smiled, "Open it."

As she spoke, her eyes gleamed; she was clearly confident about her gift.

The black-armored martial artist received the order and opened the square box promptly.

Inside stood a Buddha statue, vividly carved, although it bore three sword marks.

"What’s this?"

Everyone was shocked, and Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes too.

This type of gift was not unfamiliar to him; he had seen it on the Heavenly Martial Continent before.

Though, back then, the sword marks were nothing compared to now.

The marks on this statue were indeed left by a peerless swordsman.

Because the lingering aura made his heart race.

Moreover, not only was the aura intense, but the sword marks seemed to contain a very intricate energy.

At this time, Princess Caidie spoke.

"I collected this Buddha statue at great cost, the three sword marks on it are extremely mysterious, with infinite changes."

"If one can comprehend it, it’s definitely a staggering treasure for swordsmen."

"I was always reluctant to bring out this item before, but today I’ll gift it to Mr. Lin."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding martial artists drew sharply in breath, eyes filled with envy.

They weren’t weaklings, they could naturally sense the wonderful power contained within the sword marks.

It can be said this is a truly priceless treasure.

But they could only be envious, with no other way.

Because they couldn’t obtain such treasures, perhaps no one else could.

Probably only Lin Xuan could prompt Princess Caidie to offer such a gift.

And Lin Xuan took a deep breath too, as these three sword marks were extremely useful to him.

So in the next moment, he quickly nodded.

"In that case, I won’t stand on ceremony. However, I still won’t stay here."

"But I can help you once more."

"Regardless of the situation, no matter the enemy, I can assist you once."

"But only once, use it wisely."

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Princess Caidie was ecstatic: "Then thank you, Mr. Lin."

Honestly, she was very disappointed initially, as even after gifting such a statue, Lin Xuan didn’t stay.

However, once she heard Lin Xuan’s words, she immediately smiled.
