Chapter 509 Learning Inscriptions 2
Logan could also use his soul force but compared to Davis's soul force, his Soul Forging Cultivation wasn't worth mentioning. Besides, he still hadn't taken the Soul Emerging Pill yet, wanting to take it only after he had reached the Elder Soul Stage to achieve better effects.
Daniuis smiled at their reaction but didn't comment. He continued, "In conjuring a symbol, you will first draw many vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines until you become production in it."
"Followed by circle, oval, elliptical shapes."
"Then you can try to learn those curvy lines and free shapes which is the most difficult."
"Once you learn all these without making it disperse, it can be considered that you all completed the basics of being an Inscription Master."
Claire's eyes imperceptibly twitched. Drawing lines were fine but connecting those lines into a square became hard with each connection, even making her hands heavy, making her feel as if she was holding immense pressure in her fingers.
Now, she has to learn all these other shapes such as circle, oval and what not...
Drawing them with ink is very easy, but inscribing it while having her finger clad in essence energy or soul force was no joke as personally experienced the more she drew, the heavier her hands get, making it, in turn, easier for the symbol to collapse.
"If you can be adept at connecting the lines and curves when needed, then you can be considered an expert in Inscriptions."
"All that is left for you is to gain cultivation equaling a grade and the relevant Inscription Symbols so that you can form the necessary symbol."
"Of course, the materials of the required symbol is also needed to completely conjure it into a surface of an object."
"It doesn't matter if it's the skin of a human or the surface of bladed steel, all the symbol needs is a compatible object to fuse and enchant."
At this time, Logan who had been silent in the class posed a question.
"Then why are parchments made of magical beasts skin popular?"
"Magical Beasts are born with the ability to absorb heaven and earth energy through the pores in their skin. Their skin is rather a common and good material to enchant a symbol." Daniuis explained.
"Wouldn't the trait or the elemental nature of the magical beast interfere with the property or the enchantment of the symbol?" Davis raised a question as he pondered over his father's question.
"No. The common and popular Magical Beast Skin that is sold as a parchment doesn't cause any interference since those magical beast skins are normal without any elemental energy."
"However, there are many other special parchments used as a sheet to make some elemental symbols stronger."
Davis nodded his head understanding.
"Last time when I was here in the Xuan Capital as Alchemist Scythe, I saw a man slap a strange paper on a woman, and it sealed her Essence Gathering Cultivation as a result. I can guess that it is an inscription but what symbol was it?" Davis posed a question.
"That... It is likely the 'Seal' symbol. There is more than one type of 'Seal' in the copy I gave you all, so you can reference it from that. As for what the 'Seal' did to that woman, it probably blocked her meridians and clogged the pathway to her dantian. That resulted in her Essence Gathering Cultivation being sealed."
Daniuis gave a detailed answer.
Like this, their class continued from the morning till the evening, their knowledge of Inscriptions improving as time passed.
Daniuis explained the many intricacies of the symbols and the patterns to which they all greatly benefited.
This was just the first day, so the information they received and digested made it seem like they took a huge step forward in Inscriptions.

In the evening.
Davis came back to his room and saw Evelynn chatting with Princess Isabella in a rather jovial manner.
"You arrived rather soon..." Davis lifted his brows at her slightly.
"No, I came at the right time."
Princess Isabella replied while her gaze still stayed on Evelynn, her tone sounding different from the time she lessened her authoritativeness.
'Is she thinking that I won't act overboard when I am with Evelynn?' Davis just shook his head.
"You two have the same Soul Stage Cultivation, Infant Soul Stage at the Peak-Level. It's perfect... I can gauge the rate of your improvement."
Davis casually spoke with an intent to create a spark of competition between these two women.
And as expected, which woman, or to be precise, which person would like to be compared with others.
Their eyes both intently gazed at each other, their lips imperceptibly curving in confidence.
The reason for Evelynn's confidence was because she was around twenty years younger than Princess Isabella.
As for Princess Isabella...
They both had at least absorbed the Blood Essence of the Earth Dragon Immortal. Their similarity couldn't help but involve a sense of rivalry between them.
Even then, Princess Isabella's condescending gaze told that she was not worried, but even disdained Evelynn's competitive intent.
"Then I'll start..."
"The flesh is the materialization while the soul is the personification of an individual..."
Davis started to explain the soul with a philosophical concept before gradually moving to explain how to better resonate with heaven and earth energy through circulating Soul Forging Cultivation.
His gestures while explaining attracted their attention, sometimes their gaze following the tip of his finger.
In front of Davis were two threads connecting both him and Evelynn, as well as him and Princess Isabella.
A bright red-coated the thread between him and Evelynn which didn't garner much attention from him since it has been the same.
However, the thread that connected him and Princess Isabella was no longer colorless.
It was white, meaning that they had become acquainted and familiar to a degree.
Nevertheless, on the white thread, there were a few more colors that garnered his attention.
Some patches of grey, smudges of yellow, specks of blue, tinged with a tiny bit of red.
Davis's eyes imperceptibly twitched but he continued teaching them Soul Forging Cultivation.
In accordance with his learnings of the Karma Threads, grey and yellow color were negative emotions while blue color could be said to be related to positive emotions.
Davis inwardly pondered a bit before reaching an answer.
It meant that she was feeling cautious, wary, unhappy yet was slightly willing to place trust in him... for certain matters?
However, why was there a tiny bit of red on the blue?
From his experience with Mo Mingzhi, he was especially wary of this red color which seems to be capable of even erasing deep negative emotions like black.
'Does she have a vague sense of closeness with me? Yes, that should be it...'
Davis thought to the past few days and saw that his attitude to her was a little biased, even rude, due to her belittling him with her tone of speech.
He certainly didn't like being looked upon and neither did Princess Isabella.
However, his rudeness should have made her distant not close...
Davis pondered secretly, unaware that he had earned and a few points in approval from Princess Isabella for showing care towards his family and friends.
Princess Isabella kept her attention towards his voice but her gaze was willingly following his fingers for some odd reason.
Even she didn't know why she would do that as she became conscious of it. It was as if his index finger attracted her for some reason.
Davis saw that his misdirection was working even against a Seventh Stage Expert when he noticed her pupils. He had influenced her through the Karma Threads connecting them, making her follow his gestures.
