Night of the Broken Gliph

One by one, Woo Nim and Cheuk Kwun pointed out their student’s weaknesses accurately. Most were left with their faces red in embarrassment while some reflected as they realised their mistakes.

After all, who were Cheuk Kwun and Woo Nim? The former was a hundred-gliphic gliphist who could build a teleportation gliph formation at will, while Woo Nim was a three-chambered cultivator who could fight an ancient gliphic beast of her rank! The duo were of similarly high prestige and skill, able to easily identify their student’s deficiencies.

However, there were anomalies as well. “Mung Si…” Woo Nim’s gaze landed on Mung Si as a rare smile formed on her face. “There’s not much to say about you. Just remember to safeguard yourself. Saving lives is good, but do not move beyond your means, lest you lose your life in vain.”

“I understand, Ma’am.” Mung Si replied respectfully after a short pause. Nobody in the class dared to mock her, and most were staring at her in gratitude or admiration. After all, she was the person that carried out a rescue when she could escape while the spider broke through. Many of her classmates were saved by Mung Si from the spider web.  

Adding to Mung Si’s strength, amazing skills and gorgeous looks, she had garnered many admirers. She was a single-gliphic gliphist who already created her personal gliph, the Phoenix Prarier Fire, becoming one of the main fighters when they fought the spider!

Soon, it was Chui Yim’s turn. “There’s nothing much to say about you either since you arrived late; you didn’t have much chance to participate in the fight.” Chuek Kwun had his curiosities about Chui Yim too, but he kept it to himself. Be it the force that blocked his senses when Chui Yim broke through, or the weird gliph formation that Chor Kwong Laan and Wong Chow Yip found with Chui Yim, Cheuk Kwun was filled with curiosity about him.

After all, Cheuk Kwun’s main strength was his sensing and scouting ability, and something that could block him…

“You need to explore your ability and create your personal gliph. This is vital to any gliphist.” Chui Yim nodded as he started contemplating.

Finally, Woo Nim and Cheuk Kwun simultaneously turned to Kam Chin Kee with pleased expressions. “As for you, we were presently surprised by your performance.”

“I know where Lee Bak stands; truthfully, he’s not bad. You were able to tie against the Metallic Blood War Gate’s best disciple, Lee Bak. Therefore, you’ll lead the outer sect delegation during the interschool exchange. But most importantly, you showed your courage in a dangerous situation. Giant demonic spiders are known as Beast Kings, with near unsurmountable strength within their rank. Ignoring its natural advantages and huge size, your attitude, fighting with courage, was admirable.

“Both of us are pleased with you.”

Gasps rang across the classroom once they heard him. The Southerners who knew Kam Chin Kee’s background were in disbelief, while others were jealous. Several Northerners even felt a murderous intent against him grow.

The North and South had been at war for a long time, and powerful cultivators would definitely train at the Bloody War Frontier once they reached a certain age. Allowing such talents to mature was like sacrificing thousands of their companions. However, while they desired to kill Kam Chin-Kee, nobody was stupid enough to act within South Imperial City.

Woo Nim and Cheuk Kwun pretended not to notice their intentions. The Cloud Palace outer sect was filled with many factions, and they weren’t going to force the disciples to become friends; the outer sect was just a way for them to earn money, after all.

“The trip to the Forbidden Forest was a chance for all of you to identify your shortcomings and improve. Remember, during the interschool exchange, you must live up to the Cloud Palace’s name. Just because we don’t care much about our reputation doesn’t mean we’ll allow ourselves to be embarrassed.” Woo Nim said as she looked around the class.

“The triannual interschool exchange will be held during spring next month, and it will be organised by Metallic Blood War Gate this year. This is a chance for all youths below eighteen to show off their skills,” Woo Nim spoke calmly like it had nothing to do with her. “There will be various competition formats──forging, alchemy, medicine and gliphism. The most important of them all is the “great contest”.

「我們的要求很簡單。」胡念伸出右手食指：「所有比試，都要獲得第一。」

“We don’t expect much from you,” Woo Nim stuck out her index finger, “We just expect one of you to achieve first place in every arena.

“Failure to do so will result in your expulsion, and you’ll have nothing to do with the Cloud Palace anymore. Furthermore, if we lose the group contest…”

“Our school year will end. None of you will need to return for class.” Cheuk Kwun said, slightly excited. The disciples’ gaze moved from the calm Woo Nim to the excited Cheuk Kwun speechlessly. However, knowing about the long history of the Cloud Palace, they weren’t surprised.

Luckily, it had been ages since the Outer Sect concluded in such a manner

I’m sure we’ll be at least as strong as the previous cohort, right? The students tried to encourage themselves, but Cheuk Kwun’s excitement left them anxious.

“Okay, today’s lesson will end here. The class has ended.” Woo Nim and Cheuk Kwun looked up at the sky.

“Goodbye Miss Woo, Mister Cheuk.” Kwan Shan Chuen stood up and led the class in their greeting.

As soon as Chui Yim returned to his residence, he started cultivating. Being a single-gliphic gliphist was a new experience for him. Chui Tin’s creation, the Greater Blazing Sun gliph, his weird, flame-like heart and long burning hair required more attention to understand.

Chui Yim held the attitude of a researcher since forging, medicine and his other fields all required strong understanding, so he naturally kept the same attitude for gliphism. First, he started with the Greater Blazing Sun gliph.

Shirtless, he sat on Ping Chi’s black cushion to strengthen his mental state and understand the gliph on his chest. What he saw soon awed him.
