"Anon, come out!" Ezio intoned. In the next second, he lost control of his body and Anon took the helm. "Don't kill her."
"What is going on?" Xiao Chen looked at the stage with a squint. All of a sudden, the mannerism of the kid he hated changed. Before it was a carefree, annoying brat but now, it felt as if a domineering creature took his place.
"What is this change? Does he have two personalities?" Li Long muttered silently.
"As if he is a different person." Cai Wei also said.
All the experts in the audience were looking at Ezio with curious gazes while regular people had no idea what was going on. But the girl across him also felt the change and was intimidated by the posture Ezio had at the moment.
"What are you?" She asked in fear. Anon didn't bother to answer. Two Signiums appeared on top of him and in the next second, all the skills were used at the same time.
"Signium Skill: Star Chaser!"
"Signium Skill: Star Crushing Howl!"
"Morph!"
Ezio's arms turned into claws as two pairs of wings appeared at his back. At the same time, a devastating howl shook the stage. It was ten times stronger than before.
It had to be understood. Ezio was cultivating two essences at the same time. He also had occupations he was practicing. His time would be split into many things, while Anon was just practicing Qi and techniques related to it. That is why his mastery over them was above Ezio's despite sharing his experience with him.
Signiums were just like techniques and the more one practiced, the better they would get. That is why when it came to using Ezio's skills and techniques related to Qi, Anon was much better than him.
Gu Xiang was a tad better than the other participants Ezio fought so far. When she saw the Signiums, she immediately flared hers. One Volcanic Mountain was in the motion of eruption and the second was a mountain squirting lavas with lightning striking above it. Both were from the Fourth Curtain.
She used the first skill as soon as possible, "Signium Skill: Volcanic Eruption!"
The sound of the eruption somehow muffled the howl and she wasn't as affected by the skill. Although she wasted one of her skills unnecessarily, at least she wasn't leg-locked like others. The mountain was still erupting, and lava was flowing from it. Gu Xiang gathered the lava and formed a shield from the viscous liquid on her right hand. In her left hand, she was holding a whip.
She swung the whip towards Anon as it cracked with lightning. But Anon was too fast for that attack. He vanished from where he was standing and swung his dagger. Gu Xiang saw the attack and raised the shield. Anon wasn't flustered at all as if the attack was fake. Although it wasn't, this was part of Azure Wolf King's Eternal Fang. It allowed him to change the trajectory of his attacks. He pulled back the arm and turned around the girl as he swung the claw-like hand towards her back. Lightning was cracking at the tip of the claw, as it was just above her nape.
"You lose." He said calmly as he started to walk back.
"Thank you for your mercy." The girl muttered only after Anon went back to the edge of the stage. He had another fight and had no time to waste. The girl didn't get a reply from her opponent, which was upsetting but she was a loser. She couldn't demand anything. The Knight also didn't say anything so the girl walked down.
Alein came up with a smirk plastered on his face. He looked at Ezio with a condescending look and clasped his arm around his chest.
"You are good, but you are not special." With it, his two Signiums appeared on top of his head. One of them was, Blazing Blood Baron. It was the source of his Bloody-Green fire. The second was A blood crystal. It was actually from the Fifth Curtain. The Cyan Hue around it was blazing with all its glory. "My second Signium is also from the Fifth Curtain. And much better than yours. Not only does it amplify my control over Blood Element, but it is also Yin Elemental!"
Anon smirked without answering. He never understood why these idiots talked too much. Seeing Anon was non-responsive, Alein stomped his feet in anger. "Act as arrogant as you want. Today you die!"
He dashed forward with his cauldron and swung it towards Ezio. Anon dodged the attack and stabbed the dagger forward. The Azure Wolf King's Eternal Fang was a high-level Qi Technique. Attacks were all deadly when used right.
The wolf image appeared behind his body and looked at Alein in pride. Anon at the same time pushed the dagger like a wolf charging at its prey. The wolf image followed the attack and clashed with the cauldron.
Alein was sent back by the ferocity of the attack and staggered before he could find his footing.
"Good! Good!" He muttered as his second Signium flared.
"Signium Skill: Yin Essence."
A humm sound generated from Alein covered the whole stage. Anon and even the Knight felt their blood freezing inside their bodies. Anon felt the circulation of the Qi slowed down and his movement speed had almost came to a stop.
He willed and lightning started to crack on his body. He used it to agitate his blood but to no avail. His control over the element wasn't as good as wind since it hasn't been long since he had awakened this element.
"Manny, give me a hand," Anon spoke in his mind. In the next second, flames started to circulate in Ezio's body. His Mana Force circulated slowly to deflect the negative effect of the attack but Xiao Chen at this time looked at him in shock and with killing intent. The force was so slight, so he wasn't yet sure, but he for a second felt Mana in the air stirring.
"Sorry, Main. I hope this doesn't cause too much trouble." Anon muttered as he waited without any expression on his face.
"See that? That is my special skill." Alein said with a smirk. "Do you feel your blood freezing? It actually does. The Yin element is freezing your blood in your veins. Your Qi cannot circulate properly and you cannot even move at full speed."
Anon didn't say anything, he only looked troubled. Alein gaining confidence walked forward towards him. "I thought I would use my second skill but it seems unnecessary now."
When Alein was in front of him, Anon jumped forward like a predator and his dagger covered with the golden wind was about to swipe Alein's neck. Although the latter looked at him in horror and raised his arm to put up a defense, it was too late. Several wisps of fire left his body but nothing could help him now.
As Anon was about to cut his neck off, a hand appeared in front of the dagger and stopped it.
