Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 535

Chui Yim touched his chest. The armour vest turned back into a metallic ball once again. The puppets around Kam Chin Kee disappeared at the same time.

“Thank you for letting us win.” They turned to Yuan He, who was currently unable to budge in the slightest, politely.

“What a powerful armour, may I know its name?” Yuan He could only flash them a helpless smile.

“This armour is called Porcupine,” Chui Yim replied politely. The incompatible name made Yuan He feel like laughing, but all that escaped his throat was blood.

By now, the results were obvious, and Dragon Dance Academy’s students and teachers rushed out to help their young principal up to send him for treatment. On the other hand, Kam Chin Kee drew gliph in the air, forming a translucent cloud.

The Cloud Palace teenagers stepped on the cloud, which rose and disappeared amongst the cloudy sky within no time.

The way the teenagers left without hesitation after the fight left the crowd in awe. Watching the figures disappear from his sight, Yuan He sighed in awe. “Indeed Cloud Palace…”

With that, he blacked out due to the reverse blood flow.

The Floating Cloud gliph of every Cloud Palace member took a slightly different form due to the different cultivation styles each member cultivated. The style Kam Chin Kee cultivated – the Ever-Changing Formless Skill – was impossible to grasp, just like fog. Maybe this was the reason why his Floating Cloud resembled an actual cloud the most.

Very soon, part of the cloud was stained red. It was Chui Yim who just coughed blood.

“Brother Chui, are you alright?” Lam Ming Sum looked at him worriedly.

However, Kam Chin Kee was still wearing a smile on his face. During the fight, rather than fighting Yuan He, he played the role of support for Chui Yim, thus he was fine, only exhausted of energliph. “Nothing will happen with his monstrous body.”

“Just shut your mouth.” Chui Yim glared at him and pulled out a bottle, chugging the pills in it. Four years later, he was now a great master in alchemy and refined pills during his spare time.

“Nothing serious, just a minor injury. But his last attack was insane. Even with my bronze skin, steel bones, True Domineer, and Porcupine, he was still able to injure me.” Chui Yim pulled up his shirt, revealing the bruise on his left ribs.

If Yuan He hit another two-chambered cultivator with his Swinging Dragon Tail instead of Chui Yim, they would have passed away even if they had Porcupine.

“Let me cultivate to heal first.” With that, Chui Yim found a comfortable spot and laid down. Cultivate? More like sleeping instead!

Kam Chin Kee glared at him. He knew well that Chui Yim would not need more than three days to be completely healed from this injury; there wasn’t even the need for him to cultivate!

“I can’t last that long, though.”

To be exact, the Floating Cloud gliph was a form of gliphism from the past. Ordinary gliphs mainly sustained themselves on heaven and earth energy, which was why the attacks of gliphists normally had a stronger impact compared to gliphers and a single-gliphic gliphist was equivalent to a two-chambered glipher.

But that was not the case for Floating Cloud, as in the ancient past, there were no gliphers or gliphists, only those that cultivated both. Thus, the Floating Cloud gliph made use of not just heaven and earth energy, but also energliph of the cultivator. This was the exact reason why even a two-chambered cultivator could travel in the air.

Even so, their Floating Cloud could not last for too long as they were only in the two-chambered state. Sadly, they weren’t allowed to travel with teleportation gliphs as Cloud Palace Itinerants as “the scenery on the way is what makes up the journey,” according to Sung Tsz Hin.

More like it gives madmen more chances to attack us. Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim thought to themselves.

Under a waterfall was a young man with his upper body naked, glistening in blue and standing on a rock. Shining streams of water plunged down onto him. If one were to take a close look, they would realise that some water even entered his body.

This was an astonishing sight as this was no ordinary waterfall, but the Heavenly Silver Waterfall.

Legend has it that it was originally an ordinary waterfall, but in the ancient past, a ferocious beast chose to pass away at this spot, and its corpse combined with the waterfall to bring about magical effects. At the same time, it turned into a forbidden area because every drop of the waterfall was so dense that it could crush tough minerals if it plunged from a high altitude.

This meant that ordinary humans would die if this waterfall crashed on them, yet this young man was able to tolerate this without budging in the slightest.

How powerful must his body be!?

Soon, the young man was trembling. He opened his eyes with great unwillingness, At the same time, he knew that he had reached his limit.

The young man stood up, revealing his lean body. He leaped towards the stone steps next to the side of the waterfall. There were stone stairs at both sides of the waterfall with nine steps each, and each step was thirty meters long.

The young man stood on the fourth step, but he was considered to be powerful for his cultivation state.

He looked downwards and could somehow see through the silver streams that another person was sitting on the eighth step. The young man clenched his fist at the sight.

At the same time, an old servant came to him with a black cloth in his hands. The young man took the cloth and wiped the silver water drops off himself carefully.

This cloth was a rare grade two item, which meant that only an embroiderer of at least grade-two state could produce this item. No ordinary cloth would be able to wipe away waterfall drops that could leave a hole in the ground every time they crashed into it simply.

The young man ignored this scene and continued wiping the water drops off himself carefully.

“Second Young Master,” the old servant spoke. “We have news from South Imperial City that the Cloud Palace teachers left from the west water curtain gates by cloud after defeating the young principal from Dragon Dance Academy. They are most likely coming to Great Wisdom City.”

“The young principal from Dragon Dance Academy?” The young man was slightly shocked. “The three-chambered glipher who is basically the son of their previous principal, Yuan Ren Hao, right?”

“Yes, Young Master.” The servant nodded.

The young man did not reply. Yuan He was no stranger to him, because… they were of the same generation. He was even a guest at Dragon Dance Academy when he headed to South Imperial City for the Cloud Palace Enrollment four years ago.

He used to spar with Yuan He to see how powerful the other was. Yuan He moved at lightning speed and used his spear to its limit…

Even though it was two versus one, the result was still hard for him to believe.

“Be prepared. Since they are coming to Great Wisdom City, they will naturally be our Hung Clan’s guests.”

“The clan leader has it well prepared,” the servant replied.

The young man nodded and took another glance at the figure below the waterfall and left.

I’m no longer the old me from four years ago. Let’s battle again, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee!
