Night of the Broken Gliph

“Your Majesty, the Blue Skies Rank has been updated.” Kei Mo grabbed the azure bird and untied the note tied to its leg for Lam Chun.

“Mm.” Lam Chun placed his brush down at Kei Mo’s words, a sign of how much he valued the event. He unrolled the note to reveal the name list.

“Oh?” Very soon, Lam Chun spotted his son’s name with a short remark next to it. Blue Skies Ranks often came with remarks. “The re-emergence of the Hundred Streams comes with infinite potential.”

“Quite good.”

Kei Mo understood Lam Chun’s words immediately. “His Highness is ranked fifth, the best result for the Lam Clan in centuries.”

“It’s uncommon for Imperial Lam Clan members to focus on cultivation; even I place too much emphasis on ruling the world.” Lam Chun nodded in agreement.

“It’s the world’s blessing to have Your Majesty impose great importance on us.”

Lam Chun waved his hands and did not reply to Kei Mo. He scanned the list and his gaze landed on one of the names, which he stared at silently.

Lung Wai Yuet casually took a note that was passed to her. In front of her stood three teenage boys: Lee Bak, Sung Hau, and Suen San Kuk, the most outstanding trio of the Metallic Blood War Gate’s younger generation.

Ching Lang Pak was also a talented cultivator, but he was still lacking too much compared to them.

Lung Wai Yuet wore a gentle smile after taking a glance at the name list.

Suen San Kuk and Sung Hau immediately heaved a sigh of relief. They were called over by Lung Wai Yuet the instant she received the news of the Blue Skies Rank update, and the teenage boys were aware that hell awaited them if their names were absent from the list.

On the other hand, Lee Bak’s heart skipped a bit seeing Lung Wai Yuet’s smile.

“Good, this is good,” the gorgeous female said and passed the boys the list, which Lee Bak held while the others scooted over for a closer look.

Sixth: Lee Bak – Outstanding tactical awareness and equipped with a gliph weapon that stands a chance to be ranked on the Celestial Weapon Rank.

Thirteenth: Sung Hau –  A pity that the Thunderclap Sword’s potential wasn’t unleashed.

Twentieth: Suen San Kuk – Sharp tactical awareness, a teenager with great potential.

The Blue Skies Rank only recorded the first twenty elites, anything beyond was deemed unnecessary. Suen San Kuk was no doubt elated to have his name on the ranks despite ranking last.

But before Suen San Kuk could cheer for his achievement, a cold voice dampened his enthusiasm. “It is good to see that there’s five people ranked before you and even have your gliph weapon specially commented on. Do you know what that means? It means that your achievement was dependent on your gliph weapon.

“As for Suen San Kuk, what’s there to be so happy about when you’re ranked last?

“And Sung Hau, how could you be defeated by just one of Lam boy’s attacks when you’ve obtained the Thunderclap Sword’s legacy?”

The trio shuddered and exchanged fearful glances. However, Lung Wai Yuet stowed her cold smile and wore an odd smile instead. “But I already have plans for you three. All three of you will be in seclusion until the day of Cloud Palace’s enrollment, and I’ve already prepared a series of cultivation exercises for you.”

An icy cold glance was seen in Lung Wai Yuet’s beautiful pair of eyes while the trio looked disheartened.

Meanwhile at the Stars Unite Education Centre, Kong Yau crumbled the note and turned it to ashes in her palm in an instant.

The Stars Unite Lake Master Chan Chung Ching, who was standing next to her, shook his head.

“Eighth? I don’t accept this result!” I was the extraordinary girl whose birth was accompanied by starlight! How could Cloud Palace consider me as just ranked eighth!?

Amazing talent, yet lacks effort.

That was the remark from Cloud Palace. She immediately recalled Mung Si’s performance during the inter-school exchange’s gliphism segment, which made her heart clench. All the names above her on the list were as if they were her arch enemies, but when she saw that striking name, she turned to Chan Chung Ching instantly. “Master, I’d like to pick up the second state of the Stars Unite cultivation style.”

Chan Chung Ching sighed.

He expected this reaction from his prideful disciple.

“The Stars Unite cultivation style’s second state is about directing starlight into the cultivator’s body and turning all energliph into stellar energy. There are high requirements regarding mental state, and only a ten-gliphic gliphist is able to withstand the tough situation. I know that you were accompanied by starlight during birth, but it’s still very risky…”

“Master, you taught me that taking the path of cultivation is as good as going against the heavens, and only having a determined heart will take me to the peak of the world!” Kong Yau replied without hesitation.

“Since Master hopes for me to surpass you and Master managed to direct starlight into your body successfully right after breaking through to the ten-gliphic state, I will definitely succeed.”

Seeing how determined his disciple was, Chan Chung Ching let out a long sigh. “Alright.”

The back mountain of the Fok Clan, near a tomb of swords:

Every sword sticking out of the tomb represented each of the Fok Clan’s ancestors, and currently in the middle stood a young teen whilst the swords around him trembled as if paying respect to their king.

The clueless azure bird dropped into the sword tomb.

Szz…

Numerous swords flew past but did not injure the azure bird. Without knowing that it just escaped death, the azure bird stopped between the teen’s fingers and looked around curiously.

The teen took the note and allowed the azure bird to take its leave.

Ninth: Fok Fung – The lonely star that kills his own fate with his sword.

Such an odd remark might have seemed off to others, but it suited the teenage boy well. Months ago, he would never have been able to prevent his sword energy from injuring the azure bird. He was unlike other cultivators who trained to increase their power; he only needed to learn how to control his energy because he was born with it! The greater amount he could control, the stronger he would be.

All he needed to do was kill his fate of being a lonely star with his sword!

A teenager sat cross-legged with eyes shut in an arena of the Sky Raiser Institution. There was a sword lying on his legs quietly.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, but he looked completely calm.

The Carefree Sword was separated into three states: swift, slow, and carefree.One should gain control of the Sword of Extreme Swiftness before controlling the Sword of Extreme Slowness. When both swift and slow come together, it becomes carefree.

Currently, there wasn’t the sharpness of a sword seen in his eyes, showing that he was starting to pick up the Sword of Extreme Slowness.

Duen Por Do only took a single glance at the ranking and lost interest instantly.

Eleventh: Duen Por Do – A boy with ambitions much greater than his strength.

It was obvious that the remark was sarcasm, and it seemed like his bet with Kam Chin Kee did not escape the eyes of Cloud Palace, who claimed to know of every happening in the world.

But… so what?
