Night of the Broken Gliph

Yeung Tin Hun was still too arrogant for his own good. In his previous life, meeting people of equivalent capability was a rare occurrence, and even coming across those who could threaten his life was a near impossibility. However, he was now in a weak teenager’s body. So what if he was incredibly experienced in the mind? He was still a young, newbie cultivator. 

It had been ages since his last near-death experience. His mind turned blank as fog shrouded both his feet, doubling his speed.

I’m breaking through! 

Ecstatic, Yeung Tin Hun managed to dodge Cheng Hak’s deadly kick, albeit suffering a bloody cut on his chest from the following translucent spear. 

Cheng Hak was undoubtedly startled that he missed his mark, but he didn’t plan on saying anything; that was simply who he was. 

Just then, Yeung Tin Hun’s sneer rang out. “Shameless old man, do you think I’m here to take a beating?” 

Before the young spearman spoke, Man Yee Ho, who remained hidden the entire time, made his move. He used to be a soldier; quiet, lowkey, and most crucial of all, persevering. He once had to hide in a forest for over three days, surviving on only water seeping from mud with no supplies. Such a person was no different from a poisonous snake that liked to bide its time before making one fatal strike. 

He moved his fingers, but there weren’t any gliph strings to be seen—because they weren’t necessary anymore. 

When Cheng Hak looked up, the tent’s ceiling was already covered in countless gliphs. They weaved together to form a complicated diagram of various weapons. It felt like a grave, a grave of weapons. 

“Thousand Weapons Tomb,” uttered Man Yee Ho with his chapped lips as his complexion worsened, “imprison.” 

Countless different weapons buzzed as they dove at Cheng Hak from above. He looked up in surprise upon sensing how powerful the gliph was. With Man Yee Ho’s all-out attack catching him by surprise, Cheng Hak felt threatened even as a three-chambered glipher. He wore a cold yet ugly expression and was seemingly rooted to the ground when in fact he was already snapping air blades with his legs to repel Man Yee Ho’s gliph. 

Man Yee Ho, who had fully exerted himself, sat down crossed-legged and shut his eyes. “I can only keep him occupied for a short moment. Waste no time.” 

“Noisy.” Yeung Tin Hun glared at him while pink energliph moved along his left arm. Finger-sized clouds appeared on his left arm as he activated his energy, blossoming like flowers. Vibrant flowers and verdant stems bloomed and extended along his left arm in a contest of display.

Different ideas came to Yeung Tin Hun’s mind. He remembered his time spent in the world without gliphs or energliph. That was the world of dogmas, laws that governed any and everything in the world. Although he could no longer feel them after arriving in this world, those feelings were still ingrained in his mind. As he repeatedly fought deadly battles, he awakened to the idea of merging the dogmas of his past life with gilphilities! 

Holding onto his silver Snow Glider tightly, Yeung Tin Hun dashed at Cheng Hak like a howling gale. A pink glow covered the entire spear. 

Cheng Hak stared at Yeung Tin Hun; the teen was a dead man to him. They might survive this if they fled the tent while I was trapped. Where did he even muster the courage to attack me? 

The difference between cultivation states was not just about the number of chambers, but also fundamental characteristics. Three-chambered cultivators could generate energliph automatically, which widened the gap between them and two-chambered gliphers. It was undeniable that the teenagers were talents that could defeat two-chambered gliphers, but Cheng Hak was a three-chambered glipher; he might end up unscathed even when receiving an all-out attack from the one-chambered spearman.

Such was the harsh reality.

Cheng Hak watched the spear bolt towards him as he activated his energliph. They’ll be dead the moment I break this annoying gliph.

There was nothing special about Yeung Tin Hun’s Snow Glider, but the pink light seemed odd; it was…vibrating. 

What was even weirder was that the pink light had solidified. It spread out rings of vivid colours in the dark tent, conjuring pink, blossoming flowers on the black canvas.. 

Cheng Hak suddenly felt nervous when he saw the flowers. Not because he felt threatened; on the contrary, he couldn’t sense anything. He had kept his cool since the fighting began. Even when Man Yee Ho had set a trap for him, he only felt slightly annoyed because he knew that the teenagers could do nothing to him; he knew what was going on, after all. 

Not anymore—he couldn’t figure out the gliphility for the first time. All he knew was that under the beautiful pink facade was a deadly poison. 

One flower bloomed, then ten. When the hundredth flower bloomed, it arrived right before Cheng Hak. 

Cheng Hak already had his guard up and bit his tongue hard to fill his mouth with the metallic taste of blood. The innocent-looking flowers had suddenly transformed into a sea of spear strikes thrusting at him from all directions! 

This gliphility was Blossom Sea; it wasn’t passed down from the Four Season Heaven, but Yeung Tin Hun’s original gliphility! Cheng Hak growled at this scene like a cornered beast. He had the hunch that the ordinary gliphic spears could pierce his body and kill him! 

That was when Cheng Hak made his move. He had always kept his hands behind him and fought with his legs because those were his most powerful weapons. However, every glipher always had more than one weapon.A trump card, so to speak. 

He moved his left arm, his sleeves bursting open among the flowers and revealing the hidden gliph beneath. 

Cheng Hak had a bit of fame to his name amongst three-chambered gliphers in the North. Naturally, he was known for his powerful leg attacks. Who would’ve thought that such an aggressive attacker would choose to tattoo the Bronze Wall gliph on his left arm chamber? 

Bronze Wall was obviously a defensive gliph. The moment he activated it, a bronze dome sheltered him. 

Clank clank clank…

Metallic clattering rang all over as the sea of flowery strikes met the Bronze Wall.
