Hung Leung scowled at the sight.
“How is this possible? This is the first time that boy entered the Heavenly Illusion. No, not just him, there have been no Cloud Palace members who have ever done so. How did he manage to find it…?”
“He’s from Cloud Palace, an institution that always creates miracles. Isn’t that recorded enough in the books?” Hung Siu cut his brother off and shook his head.
Hung Siu did not talk about his speculations; the calling and summons they heard for centuries were to find the strongest participant in the illusion, and only participants that went beyond their limits would hear the calling.
For example, the ninth stage was Kam Chin Kee’s limit. If not for the Giant Demonic Spider that appeared out of nowhere, he would not have been able to pass the stage with merely his puppets. The same went for Hung Ching Sun; his limit was the eighth stage, and he only managed to pass with the Shifting Light Jade.
And this current scene where the both of them had to fight for the chance was created because the illusion deemed them to be equally capable.
This was just Hung Siu’s guess, but it made a lot of sense to him now.
“You’re lucky to be here. Get lost of your own accord if you want to remain uninjured.” Hung Ching Sun snickered.
“Hehe.” Kam Chin Kee chuckled without a reply. Siu Tin stood on Kam Chin Kee’s nose. Being a grade-one gliphic beast, it was unable to last for long-duration fights. Exhausted, Siu Tin climbed back to Kam Chin Kee’s hair.Hung Ching Sun glared at Kam Chin Kee fiercely. “This time around, it’s different,” he said sternly.
“I don’t care about the Cloud Palace enrollment; that was just a game that I didn’t mind losing.” With that, Hung Ching Sun patted his jade that had a palm crest on it and took out a set of knuckledusters.
The knuckledusters were made entirely of jade, giving off a shiny green hue. They looked more like jade sculptures, but those who could identify this weapon would never view it in this manner.
This was Green Bamboo Curse, a famous grade-three weapon in Great Wisdom City. Great Wisdom City and the Hung Clan both had a natural cycle where every generation would have a gliph weapon for them that returned to the clan for the future generation’s use when the current user passed on or no longer needed it.
Green Bamboo Curse was used by Hung Ching Sun’s grandfather, Hung Leung and Hung Siu’s father, and returned to the clan after his grandfather passed on. Thus, it was in Hung Ching Sun’s hands now.
The name came from the three gliphs carved on the weapon – Green Intent, Bamboo Rustle, and Inauspicious Star.
TL note: 煞星 translates to Inauspicious Star, referring to celestial bodies or individuals that brings bad luck to people.
The Green Intent Gliph helped gliphers speed up their cultivation and had an attribute that complemented the Hung Clan’s style.
The Bamboo Rustle Gliph produced rustling sounds in the attack to affect the opponent mentally, hurting them.
As for Inauspicious Star, every attack would create an energliph wave that did not exhaust the glipher’s own energliph.
The three gliphs combined were no longer basic gliphs. In summary, this was a grade-three-peak gliph weapon as good as a grade-four gliph weapon!
Hung Ching Sun put the weapon on carefully and clenched his fist. His energliph flowed into the weapon through his two chambers and it lit up in green. “However, it’s different this time around. The Heavenly Illusion belongs to us, Great Wisdom City, and anything, be it treasure or legacy, I will only give up over my dead body.
“So if you dare fight with me for it, I’ll kill you.” He stared at Kam Chin Kee with a chilly gaze. Hung Ching Sun meant what he said.
Kam Chin Kee only looked at him and chuckled in reply like always.
He presented himself as a doormat like always, but anyone that could still smile calmly facing Great Wisdom’s God, Second Young Master Hung’s, threats proved his extraordinary capability.
Threats? This meant nothing to the reincarnated Kam Chin Kee.
Whoosh…
Three puppets reappeared next to Kam Chin Kee, connected to him by translucent strings. Kam Chin Kee stood with his hands behind his back.
Hung Ching Sun took this fight seriously.
It might have seemed like he was belittling Kam Chin Kee, but it was just words. He took Cloud Palace Itinerants seriously and cautiously given that all of them were recorded to be invincible within their states, especially when Kam Chin Kee was surrounded by more than thirty gliph strings.
Kam Chin Kee might’ve been a ten-gliphic gliphist now.
A ten-gliphic gliphist’s gliphs were as powerful as three-chambered gliphers!
However, this did not leave Hung Ching Sun in fear. Like he mentioned, they were currently in the Heavenly Illusion, which was located in Great Wisdom City. It was his home base, and it made no sense for him to retreat. Moreover, it was widely known that gliphists were considered relatively weak in actual combat until they reached the hundred-gliphic state. There was only a huge difference between three-chambered gliphers and hundred-gliphic gliphists, returning to even when the glipher reached four chambers.
Also, Great Wisdom City looked down on gliphists, so Hung Ching Sun would not fear Kam Chin Kee even if he was in the ten-gliphic state.
“Please guide me true.”
“Please,” Kam Chin Kee replied with a smile as he held the Celestial Phenomenon Mirror behind his back.
This treasure amplified Kam Chin Kee’s ability greatly, and honestly, he would never have made it past the eighth stage of the illusion if not for this treasure and Siu Tin. This treasure multiplied the gliph strings he could control.
Splash splash splash…
There seemed to be the crashing of waves nearby.
It brought Kam Chin Kee back to the day he fought Lam Zaa and the other made use of the Hundred Streams Body. Yet, it sounded quite different as this was the Hung Clan’s style – the grade four Divine Surging Wave style.
“Let me see how powerful the sixth teacher is!” Hung Ching Sun kept himself calm and attacked with his right fist, the one he wore the knuckledusters on.
Boom!
This punch exceeded any attack that Hung Ching Sun ever launched. He sounded polite, but he gave his best with the first move.
The gliph passed down by the Hung Clan was called Surging Wave, which demonstrated the meaning of the idiom “every wave surges higher than the last.” The style coordinated with the gliph perfectly, and it was quite a strong attack for something that wasn’t a gliphility. Of course, there were still the gliphs of Green Bamboo Curse. There were even bamboo rustling sounds that could be heard.
Lastly, he sent out the gliphility he created after cultivating for three years in the Heavenly Silver Waterfall – Silver Curtain.
The water curtain appeared in the space, and it seemed like he launched a Heavenly Silver Waterfall single-handedly. The twenty-meter-wide silver light came from all around.
Hide? There was nowhere for his opponent to do so, they could only defend against the attack forcefully.
Defend? This was Hung Ching Sun’s attack at his best state; it wasn’t that simple to block the attack.
The moment he launched this punch, Kam Chin Kee already determined that even his puppet could not block it; at least Red Bird and Yellow Bee, created for agility and speed instead of defence, could not. Thus, when the shadows separated, it was Kam Chin Kee and Blue Wolf who took the attack head-on.
