Divine Emperor of Death

As Davis said these words, he closed his eyes and awaited the praise that he would receive from his parents. However, a few seconds passed while no sound could be heard. 

It was like they all left the room or returned back to busy themselves in their work.

Davis opened one of his eyes and peeked at them. He saw them all kneel beside the parchment, intently looking at it as if they were trying to find out if it were faked.

Davis's eyes twitched as he awkwardly laughed because he could understand their disbelief. 

After some time, Claire finally took her eyes off the inscription symbol and looked at Davis with a sigh of defeat.

"I know that you will be able to eventually create Sky Grade Inscription Symbols, however, I never expected that you would be able to achieve this in a month!"

Logan couldn't help but nod to his wife's statement.

In this month, they had learned to draw and trace the lines and curves, however, Davis was faster than them.

This month, they had only managed to inscribe Mortal Grade Inscription Symbols, however, Davis didn't. Instead, Davis practiced more profound lines and curves, and as if he took a shortcut, he managed to create a Sky Grade Inscription Symbol!

They were wondering why their son didn't bother to compete with them in terms of creating Mortal Grade Inscriptions. Only now did they understand that Davis was concealing his purpose, planning to straightway create a Sky Grade Inscription Symbol.

*Clap~~* *Clap~~*

Daniuis suddenly clapped with his two palms, attracting their attention. His face had a genuine smile while his eyes were narrowed in glee.

"As your teacher, I have to say... I am completely flabbergasted by your rate of improvement."

"Be it your Cultivation or your Profession, they are enough to gain you a high status if you were born in the Alstreim Family. Even if you are not the next Family Head, you would be able to become the Young Master without question."

Daniuis was about to speak more, but sighed as he knew that there would be many internal squabbles raising voice against his illegitimate birth, "Unfortunately, the Alstreim Family did us wrong, otherwise, I would've also been blinded to glorify our origin."

"I'm impressed and intrigued. Tell me, how did you manage to create Sky Grade Inscription Symbols?" Daniuis finally added.

Davis smiled. He was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted.

"It is true that as long as one possesses the required cultivation, the proficiency to inscribe the symbol and the knowledge of the inscription symbol, they will be able to create the symbol."

"However, I personally know that you a month ago knew almost nothing about Inscriptions or even about being an Inscriptionist."

Daniuis spoke as he looked at Davis with a scrutinizing gaze, however, there was still a smile on his face indicating that he was just curious and wouldn't bother even if Davis didn't answer.

"It is true that I skipped some steps, cough, a lot of steps, but still, it's not like I am able to inscribe every Sky Grade Symbol..."

As Davis spoke, he summoned a few parchments out of his spatial and displayed them in front of them. The parchments had the same symbol which he inscribed the 'Conceal' Symbol and engraved on the parchment which was in front of him.

"This is the High-Level Sky Grade Inscription Symbol: Conceal. As you can see, the description mentions that as long as you use the Inscription symbol on an object or a living being, it will be able to grant concealment effects appropriate to its capacity."

"After learning to trace the lines with soul force, I choose to not learn everything but concentrate on two or three symbols."

Davis waved his hand and another parchment flew in front of them to be observed.

"High-Level Sky Grade Inscription Symbol: Blur. Different from the conceal symbol which conceals the person or their undulations, blur effectively creates a field that scrambles other people's senses."

"I learned these two symbols and started to compare them with their lower-grade counterparts. From then, I slowly and gradually built up proficiency in inscribing the Mortal Grade version and the Earth Grade version of that 'Conceal' and 'Blur' symbols."

"Originally, I didn't have much hope since I skipped the foundation of learning many other symbols which will help me create variants of the same symbol, however, I don't want to waste my time with those unnecessary symbols in the present."

"This helped me concentrate only on those two symbols and now, I finally managed to create the 'Conceal' symbol. All that is left is the 'Blur' and 'Seal' where I totally forgot about the latter after I got absorbed in learning 'Conceal' and 'Blur' symbols."

Logan's eyes twitched while the other two also displayed similar emotions in their faces.

Daniuis heaved a long sigh and spoke, "We'll end the class today sooner. However, since the severity of the perimeter of Tripartite Alliance lessened, I think we should leave."

Davis calmly nodded his head and so did his parents.

As for the other two symbols, he felt that he would learn 'Blur' within two or three days, and as for 'Seal', he felt that it would take more than two weeks.

"Alright, that means the class that has been held for one month is over. As a teacher...uhh... experienced Inscriptionist, I should explain the results of your progress." Daniuis straightened his posture and panned his gaze towards Logan.

"You can be considered a High-Level Mortal Grade Inscriptionist. Your foundations are better, and your usage of soul force to inscribe is better than most Inscriptionists I've seen." Daniuis nodded amiably, even giving an off-handed comment.

"I can see why Davis has such a strong Soul Forging Cultivation..."

Logan unknowingly straightened his back from Daniuis's praise. His lips even curved, and twitched, trying to hide his proud expression.

He had received so many praises from his subjects as he was an Emperor, however, the one in front of him was his wife's uncle, and could also be considered his senior in cultivation.

His twitching lips couldn't help but widen into a completely proud smile.

By the side, Davis couldn't help but inwardly lampoon, 'If only Fallen Heaven didn't exist, you can then be wholeheartedly proud.'

Daniuis then panned his gaze towards Claire as the smile on his face disappeared.

Claire's smile froze as well. She couldn't help but tremble a bit under her uncle's scrutinizing gaze.

"You have lost the competition..."

Claire turned stunned as she became blank for a second. Only when she came out of her reverie did she understand what her uncle meant.

She couldn't help but shake her head as she turned her gaze over to her husband and without mincing her words, she gracefully accepted, "I lost."

Logan was about to laugh but he then felt like he did something bad. With his wife admitting her loss like that, he felt that he wouldn't be receiving her love anytime soon.

Once he thought of it like this, his expression couldn't help but turn pale.

"You used your Essence Gathering Cultivation to inscribe the inscription symbol, hence, it's understandable that your progress is slow. However, you lost to your husband on the number of symbols you learned." 

"Nevertheless, you can also be considered a High-Level Mortal Grade Inscriptionist."

Daniuis chuckled and shot a look towards Davis.

"On the other hand, I have no way of giving a detailed review of your comprehension. Since you didn't learn many Inscription symbols in the former grades, your knowledge is redundant and lacking. It would definitely be detrimental to your future as an Inscriptionist."
