Question on judging a regular surface in differential geometry

This is the proposition and proof saying that if we know that S is a regular surface and x is a candidate of parametrization which satisfies 1)differentiable 2)surjective differential map 3)continuous bijective then, x has a continuous inverse thus resulting that x is a real parametrization

However, in the proof, I cannot see that where I used the condition that S is a regular surface

Please let me know where the condition S is a regular surface used and is there any counter-example that x does not have a continuous inverse when S is not a regular surface?


condition 1 in the proposition is that x is differentiable

condition 2 is that locally homeomorphism

condition 3 is that differential dx is one-to-one
