Chapter 12

Lin Ming took a deep breath. With oxygen rushing through his nostrils, his mind sharpened.

"Here we go..."

Right now he was full of confidence. Solely in the tracing of the lines and symbols, he was no less than those lofty masters!

He manipulated the Sky Wind Grass juice, opened his palms and a drop of emerald liquid floated into the air.

Subsequently, with his hands, he began to make seals at great speeds. These were as instinctive to him as breathing.

Then, a different material was suspended in the air and Lin Ming formed new seals. In that way, the second ingredient was treated!

Also, with his soul force, he began to create runes composed of lines and symbols. His soul force began to wear out.

But that didn't worry him. He divided his attention and revolved the 'True Primordial Chaos Formula'. His spent soul force slowly but steadily recovered.

Normally doing that would have caused an inscription master to lose precision and concentration, but Lin Ming did not find it difficult.

Here he could see the greatness of passive skill! Even more so considering that he had trained like a wretch.

In that way, the whole process unfolded. Forming seals, extracting the essence of the ingredients, and finally combining them into the construction of lines and symbols.

Still, with the inscription half-finished, Lin Ming began to feel the strain.

Fortunately, when the inscription was two-thirds complete he was still able to maintain some calm and relaxation. It was a critical instance, but... He was sure he would succeed!

"Sky Worm Silk..."

The time came to work on the most important and precious material. However, it did not seem that way to Lin Ming. Everything was going as smoothly as it could.

"There are five runes..." He stated the missing runes in his heart.

"Three... Two... One... Completed!" Lin Ming smiled broadly. Certain exhaustion covered his voice

Lin Ming finished the inscription at this moment. The brilliant runes glowed and flashed for a brief moment as they merged into an inscription the size of a square inch suspended in space.

The name of this inscription was 'Overwhelming Symbol'. Like the soul law, the name lacked a certain elegance and finesse.

In the Fragment of soul, the 'Overwhelming Symbol' was merely the most basic inscription, but it was enough to use on a superior piece of equipment, a third-grade piece of equipment.

If used on lower grade equipment, the effect would increase by at least sixty percent!

Not only that, but the 'Overwhelming Symbol' also granted the team an additional ability!

Some higher-level inscription techniques can add additional abilities to teams. By concentrating on soul force, it was possible to use these abilities. They would range from energy attacks, armor-enhancing shields, illusionary techniques, demonic techniques, and more!

Lin Ming's inscription, if engraved on a weapon, would give that weapon an ability called "instant violent strike".

The small inscription rune was, in fact, a complex matrix. When the user concentrated a massive amount of soul force into the weapon, the inscription would absorb this energy, compress it to the limit and instantly explode!

In a melee battle, this move was truly formidable in its lethality.

Without delay, the inscription fell and clung to the symbol paper nearby. The golden lines converged to form ancient runes on the symbol paper.

He had been confident that he would not fail, so he invested in a symbol paper of good quality. It wasn't the most expensive or the best, but ultimately no one would think the inscription would be a scam.

In the market, it was often not about the functionalities, but about how eye-catching and attractive it would be to the eye.

At the last minute of forming the symbol paper, Lin Ming changed the appearance of the exterior design with his soul force. It resembled a Taichi pattern.

The pattern would serve as his trademark. By the time he would release a product again, and if it was of quality, there would already be people who could identify it and buy it. One only had to look at Apple in its past life.

Except for that, many inscription masters had their custom designs as a trademark of their work.

On the other hand, Why Lin Ming selected the Taichi symbol? Isn't that what always appears in martial arts fiction? Besides, it looked cool!

What did you expect? Something with a deeper meaning? What a joke! Lin Ming may have been pursuing the path to greater strength and with it authority, but some things wouldn't change.

Just by practicing martial arts, he did not have to become an old hermit looking at a dewdrop with a deep gaze.

"No, wait a minute..." He suddenly remembered how Xuanhuan worlds worked. "Bad luck, I guess."

Snapping out of his rambling thoughts Lin Ming looked at the distant horizon through the small window of the rented room.

Lin Ming carefully received this precious paper symbol. He opened the window and the fresh air and bright sunlight covered him and reflected in his bloodshot eyes. He was tired and full of fatigue. He already wanted to go to sleep immediately. However, Lin Ming had an unprecedented feeling of contentment.

He then turned his gaze back to the almanac. Time remaining before the Seven Profound Martial House exam: two months and twenty days!

Of course, he had not yet finished making registrations. Lin Ming had enough materials for five more 'Overwhelming Symbol' inscriptions.
