"Star Chasing Hurricane Wolf" Ezio looked at the azure wolf with sharp red eyes. He felt an innate connection with the Signium. Not just because of the technique he was cultivating. There was something deeper demanding, summoning, beckoning his soul to this very Signium.
"Speed Mastery, Wind elemental insight, and the Azure Wolf Demonic Beast." Ezio was speechless. Even though the weapon mastery of the Signium was weaker than others, it was giving Dagger Mastery as well. It was the strongest Signium he had ever seen. He could feel the strength of the Signium. Proud Blue Wolf's blood-red eyes were looking at him. Like long-lost kin, watching him approach.
He stretched his hand without delay and started to connect with it by caressing its nose. There was no second thought, no doubt in his heart. He found what he was looking for.
A wolf howl filled the cave Ezio and his group were hiding. It was intimidating, all the beasts and humans in a few thousand meters ran away in fear.
"What the hell is this?" Xian Zhou was having his own breakthrough a few minutes ago. He already had Signium from the Third Curtain, Advance Tier. Yet to leap over to Pinnacle Tier was harder than climbing to heaven. But thanks to Millenium Yin Cherry, he overcame his deficiencies, and he finally succeeded. He was able to awaken a Signium from the peak of the Third Curtain.
But when he felt the howl, his vanity popped like an overblown balloon. He felt fear, and inferior.
He looked at Ezio but there was only an unimpressive wolf silhouette over his head. The Signium was from the Fourth Curtain Low Tier, only a bit better than his. Although the green sheen around the Signium was eye-catching.
"The king of the Royal Forest must have felt his Signium. Thus howled." Xian Zhou thought in his heart.
Inside the forest
"Master Adam, what was that?" One of the Qi Solidification Cultivators asked.
"Must be the king of the forest!" Adam Lynx at this moment was sweating bullets. He felt the oppressive air. He felt how weak he was when that howl passed through him.
"It felt like Force Signium." One of the disciples Abbot sent said with trepidation.
"How can it be?" Argued back one of the Crimson Fire cultivators.
"Yes. No man can wield such power."
"Let's move on."
Outside of the forest
"I am walking in that forest now." Riley Lynx was looking for an excuse to shake Abbot off his tail. But Abbot didn't let them enter whatever happened.
"King of the forest had awakened. Let us go, or all of our disciples will die." Cane Cotton was half worried, half excited. He wanted to hunt that King.
"Over my dead body." Abbot was resolute. 'Ezio, was that you? It felt like a Force Signium.'
Inside the cave
Ezio opened his eyes to look around. The girls and Xian Zhou finished their cultivation and were waiting for him.
"You are finally awake, Little Ezio." Yang Yu said and came over to his side. The two others followed.
"Sisters." Ezio greeted and smiled. "This feeling is marvelous. I feel like I can do anything." Ezio said honestly. He felt he had changed. He was stronger… exalted.
"First time does that." Xun Bai smiled and winked.
"Bring it out. Let us see." Lai Shi said excitedly.
"I shall bring out so you can feast your eyes on what I have got," Ezio said seriously.
"Yes, yes. Give us a feast." Yang Yu said from the side, looking self-indulgent.
"Hmm. Behold!" Ezio yelled domineeringly and released his beast!
"Wow, it is beautiful." Xun Bai was amazed at how perfect it was.
"Is this something a man can possess?" Lai Shi was bewildered.
"I have never seen anything like this. Not even Xian Zhou's is this great!" Yang Yu was impressed.
"It's not that great." Xian Zhou was sour. "It is what you can do with it that counts."
"What the hell is this dialogue?" Ezio finally couldn't take it anymore and looked at the Signium he released. What does it have to do with function? "Damn, my pure maiden mind had been defiled."
"So, what are your new Signiums?" Ezio asked.
"Heh heh. I was normally at the Second Curtain, Pinnacle Tier. Now with the help of Millennium Yin Cherry, I was able to have a qualitative leap and awaken from the Third Curtain." Yang Yu said and released her Signium.
"Sword of Light!"
"Oh, another Light Element Singium. And a weapon type. With your first Signium complementing the second, your attacks will be stronger. Good choice." Ezio couldn't help but praise.
"Little Ezio has good eyes, as always." Yang Yu was content with compliments.
"Do me next." Xun Bai said and released her Signium. "Analyze mine."
"Sister Bai, you will be the end of me." Ezio sighed helplessly and looked at the bow floating with air current. "Air elemental bow. With your first Signium, Fire Arrow it is a magnificent combo as well. Well done, Sister Bai."
"Aren't I awesome?" Xun Bai chuckled.
"Yes, yes. You are awesome." Lai Shi shook her head and released her Signium.
"Short sword and Ice element. How rare." Ezio was amazed by the Signium. If he hadn't experienced the Fourth and Fifth Curtains, this would be the rarest Signium he ever seen.
Ice Element wasn't as rare as Yin Element, but still, it was stronger than the water element. It could also control water to some extent.
"With your first Signium Water Sword, they are highly compatible as well. All of you have good Signiums." Ezio couldn't help but praise.
"Now it is time for the main course." Xian Zhou sneered proudly and released blood-red Signium. It was a blood-red bat with enormous wings.
"Vampiric Bat"
"Blood Elemental insight, Sound Elemental insight, and Bat Beast." Ezio was surprised by Xian Zhou's obsession with bats. Selecting similar insights would increase the chance of comprehending them, thus was a good choice in a sense.
"I was going to push my way into the fourth curtain, but when I noticed this Signium I decided otherwise." Xian Zhou said proudly.
"Why so? Wouldn't any Signium from the Fourth Curtain be stronger than this?" Xun Bai asked. Xian Zhou was just boasting, but there was a logic behind it as well. So, he wasn't flustered and explained.
"You know the Consolidation of Force! right?"
