Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 532

Yuen Ho’s eyes opened abruptly and he stood up with the spear. He had yet to reach the four-chambered state, but he had an imposing aura like how the great masters would. This was because of how he was raised by Yuen Yan Hou; he grew up learning to wield a blade before he could speak and joined the battlefield at a young age. His experiences at war were unrivalled by those of his generation.

With the spear in his hands, he stepped out of the academy.

While passing by his students, they greeted him with respect. Despite his cultivation state, his students saw the blood, sweat, and tears he placed into their academy. Since he was raised by Yuen Yan Hou, Yuen Ho also picked up the same set of Metallic Blood War Gate teachings that Yuen Yan Hou used for his students.

To the public, Dragon Dance Academy would soon disappear from South Imperial City, but the members of the academy were not affected in the slightest, and they respected Yuen Ho as much as they did Yuen Yan Hou after witnessing his effort for the academy the past two years.

Some students who were closer to Yuen Ho couldn’t help but voice their doubts. “Principal, where are you heading?”

But Yuen Ho only shook his head silently and headed for the west.

South Imperial City was gigantic; too much for the teenagers to finish. But since they were travelling, they took their time to look around, enjoying the scenery and food on their way, only reaching the water curtain gates during the evening.

The three of them might have been well-known, but there weren’t many who knew what they looked like, thus, they reached the water curtain gates successfully, leaving the huge city behind them.

The orange sun dropped down the horizon, soaking the entire city in a beautiful orange glow that left the teenagers in awe.

However, it did not take long for a human figure to block the scenery.

The man stood in front of them, his shadow extending because of the soft evening glow and stopping the trio with his spear.

Kam Chin Kee squinted his eyes and rubbed his fingers as he felt the strong, bloody aura from the other. He had never met anyone like this, and he felt a huge sense of danger.

The person did not even try to hide his aura as he pierced his spear through the extremely tough ground made of rock effortlessly. “The principal of Dragon Dance Academy, Yuen Ho, is here to learn from the two teachers,” he said, putting his hands akimbo.

Chui Yim turned to Lam Ming Sum next to him. “Take a step back.”

Lam Ming Sun nodded obediently and went to the side to not affect them.

They were currently outside the gates of South Imperial City, and the soldiers guarding the area were shocked to watch such a situation unfold. The status of being the Dragon Dance Academy principal was already beyond their reach, and now the three ordinary looking teenagers were the sixth and seventh teachers of Cloud Palace as well as Princess Ming Sum?

The soldiers were filled with excitement as they knew that they would be witnessing a battle that would be recorded in the books maybe hundreds of years from now! Nobody wanted to stop the upcoming battle because of Cloud Palace’s unsaid rule – rejecting challenges wasn’t allowed. This applied not only to Cloud Palace disciples but the area too, which meant that if the Cloud Palace disciples were challenged in Evergreen Palace, Evergreen Palace was not allowed to stop them from battling inside the palace!

Thus, the challenges that Cloud Palace disciples took up were recorded to be in many odd places, like during the middle of a party, in the middle of the streets, on some random mountain track, or under a fountain. The most absurd situation was a Cloud Palace disciple being challenged while he was in the toilet. Greatly angered, the Cloud Palace disciple killed the challenger and had the challenger’s entire organisation coming after him.

However, nobody pitied the challenger. Who would be able to accept being challenged while they were shitting…? Everyone knew that the challenger just wanted to make the disciple a joke.

No matter what, this stated the fact that nobody was allowed to intervene in any challenge that the Cloud Palace disciples were about to take on. If some other people fought outside South Imperial City, the city would be alarmed and the military would be sent to resolve the problem.

Yet now, everyone was standing at the city gate, ready to watch this battle in excitement.

Some even made use of the government night crows to send messages to people so they could come here to watch the battle unfold.

“Yuen Ho, the newly appointed principal of Dragon Dance Academy, a three-chambered cultivator, the disciple of Spear Dragon Yuen Yan Hou and master of the spear,” Kam Chin Kee whispered.

“Three-chambered state… that means we can attack together, right?” Chui Yim nodded. With that, a metallic ball appeared in his hands, and Kam Chin Kee had a small mirror in his hands too.

Yuen Ho did not make a move, as if he did not care about the two of them joining forces. In fact, he was kind of embarrassed to be challenging a two-chambered and one-gliphic state cultivator, and he would feel even more embarrassed to challenge them one on one.

However, he had no other choice as he had to secure Dragon Dance Academy’s reputation. The institution’s influence was decreasing because of their lack of a four-chambered cultivator, and this was the only way – defeat the Cloud Palace disciples to make their school famous again.

Yuen Ho was determined to save Yuen Yan Hou’s effort for Dragon Dance Academy no matter what – even if it was embarrassing. Thus, Yuen Ho pulled out his spear expressionlessly.

Chui Yim smacked the metallic ball on his chest. With his chest as the centre, the metallic ball spread outwards and covered his upper body within no time, forming a compressed metallic vest that protected his body well. There was also a blue wooden wolf next to Kam Chin Kee’s feet, a red bird on his shoulder, and a yellow bee flying around him.

“I’ll go first.”

With this, Chui Yim dashed towards Yuen Ho with no other words. What else was there to say when the other party was already blocking you with a spear?

Yuen Ho looked at Chui Yim with admiration. He liked how straightforward Chui Yim was. It could be considered that he was bullying them, but for his academy… Yuen Ho’s eyes were filled with chilliness as if he had no emotions.

Chui Yim might’ve been swift, but Yuen Ho who had experienced numerous battles in war was still able to identify him.

Yuen Ho only lifted his spear up silently. This spear was greatly different from Yeung Tin Hun’s Snow Glider; it spanned slightly more than three meters, longer than Yuen Ho himself, and it was even thicker than ordinary spears by twofold.

It looked more like a huge rod that was difficult to control rather than an agile spear. It had many dragon gliphs surrounding it, looking fierce and powerful.

This Tyrant Dragon Spear was ranked nineteenth on the Divine Weapon Rank.
