Night of the Broken Gliph

It was a hard-to-swallow fact that the two kids were capable of going against a three-chambered glipher, but this did not stop Cheng Hak from taking the battle seriously. They were currently in the North where death was commonplace. Careless and arrogant people generally died young. The four tribe members from before weren’t careless, but they died because they belittled the teens. It served as a reminder for Cheng Hak not to let his guard down.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡdjXc89ppbq 維尼

Slowly, Cheng Hak made his way forward. With every step he took, energliph surrounding his feet surged. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡoomqGYvo2c 維尼

He was fully prepared by the time he reached the tent. Who could have imagined that he gathered energliph just to face two teens; something cultivators only did when fighting those of their same state?8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡC1Mka2gjfs 維尼

Cheng Hak lifted the curtains slowly, but the sudden attack he anticipated did not come. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiTpiU9gWl 維尼

Instead, the Yeung-Man duo were staring at him in silence. The road of cultivation was long and tough; every time a cultivator broke through, it symbolised the success of them overcoming a hurdle. There were a few great hurdles, and the first was breaking through the innate chamber which determined a person’s future; whether they would be a cultivator or remain an ordinary man. The difference between both was like heaven and earth. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡCAaNCqymbX 維尼

The second great hurdle would be breaking through the three-chambered state. Every cultivator had six chambers to fill with energliph that’s transformed from heaven and earth’s energy. No matter which chambered a cultivator broke through, as long as he reached the three-chambered state, special bodily changes would take place. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡUqGpwXGBIL 維尼

There was a saying in the world; “Indivisible three, endless six”. Three unlocked chambers of the cultivator would form a cycle that automatically cultivated their style. Cultivators would no longer need to cultivate their style painstakingly anymore and could generate energliph continuously.  8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡNAEqjvrXDc 維尼

Thus, every three-chambered cultivator was ten times more powerful than a two-chambered cultivator. Look how Chan Shue Gun, a one-chambered gliphist could dominate Southary! This proved the rarity of a three-chambered or ten-gliphic cultivator.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2bq6sfKH9 維尼

But the two teenagers didn’t even blink at Cheng Hak’s appearance. After all, One survived his mad dad’s torture that lasted for years while the other lived in seclusion with the world’s best gliphist teasing him in the name of her younger brother. This hyena in front of them was nothing compared to the ferocious lions they lived with. The difference was great. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpHwKsZ96R 維尼

Watching Cheng Hak activate energliph to the best of his ability meant nothing to the duo. Yeung Tin Hun even rolled his eyes. Trying to act cool with such mediocre cultivation? If we were in front of that old madman…He’d be dead after a single sneeze.   8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡa5lglm5wjj 維尼

Luckily, Cheng Hak wasn’t one to ramble on. Despite being shocked by how composed the duo was he remained silent about it. He pretended to enter the tent calmly but instantly made a move when he took his third step as the curtains fell. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡg28vqcIduW 維尼

Yeung Tin Hun squinted his eyes and let out a growl! Pink energliph movement was seen on his left arm chamber which turned into a shield that covered Man Yee Ho and himself! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡRAugx2UeFm 維尼

Boom! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡbUxJFkj92w 維尼

A powerful yet invisible energliph movement landed on the shield and left Yeung Tin Hun all pale in an instant! At the same time, Man Yee Ho behind him swiftly drew an arrow again.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡgZTccGSmHz 維尼

Whoosh! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFGvBxmZKm 維尼

Three bright energliph arrows infused with mystic gliphs flew toward Cheng Hak. Man Yee Ho could draw gliphs rapidly in his current state but this also symbolised that the gliphs were simple. Generally, the simpler the gliph, the weaker the attack. The light arrows were the best gliph Man Yee Ho could produce in his current state.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡSxZrmAe0uC 維尼

Cheng Hak stood rooted to the ground as if he did not see the arrows coming at him. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡncgFW8PKii 維尼

Pff! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6bWdexxdEc 維尼

That was the sound of fire being put out by rain. Cheng Hak disappeared just before the light arrows reached him. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡGACTHva85G 維尼

Both teenagers wore solemn expressions. Even Man Yee Ho a man of few words gasped. “Such a swift movement.” 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDtOc2pH6V 維尼

“Oh?” Cheng Hak was in great disbelief. “Good eyesight.”8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡb0qTJzUkyu 維尼

Cheng Hak’s innate right leg chamber was the reason he survived North’s harsh conditions. Breaking through the chamber symbolised that the cultivator was good at it, and indeed, Cheng Hak was born with greatly agile and flexible legs which became his strongest weapon after being a cultivator. Be it the light arrows he dodged or his previous attack, he moved too fast for ordinary people to catch.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡO56zmyRaSa 維尼

Yeung Tin Hun pouted in evident disdain after hearing Cheung Hak’s words. He did not even try to hide his feelings.  “How fast can he be?” 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡuqYodUJvIi 維尼

Cheng Hak chuckled. After all, his legs were a fatal weapon that took the life of many three-chambered state cultivators. The words from two teens weren’t worth him paying attention to. “Haha, I’ll show you… 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡMy5MWWpPAO 維尼

Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho’s eyes shrunk; it was as if time had slowed down. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡu7o4W23fpo 維尼

“How fast…” 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡhwb9tPu3v1 維尼

What Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho saw was that smiley yet mysterious Cheng Hak made an abrupt stomp on the ground with his right foot before he leaped into the air. As if lightning, his did a split in the air as energliph congealed around his feet and shot out like air blades. Two transclucent light blades sliced the air and came for the duo! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡYdY7956wyz 維尼

Time returned to normal. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzbLdKH0nG 維尼

“...I can be.” 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWQ3dLI47w 維尼

The previous scene lasted no longer than one second and ordinary men wouldn’t be able to catch it. When he finished his sentence, he was already aiming a kick at them! But Man Yee Ho and Yeung Tin Hun weren’t ordinary people; they had already jumped aside and let his attack go between them, creating a huge hole in the tent. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡAD9srfXIr0 維尼

They definitely wouldn’t have resisted it directly. Expression ice cold, Yeung Tin Hun’s spear went for Cheng Hak! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡa8OQu8KbXE 維尼

Cheng Hak watched both of them with admiration. It was suicidal for a one-chambered glipher to charge at a three-chambered glipher. However, he felt Yeung Tin Hun’s courageous aura so he knew that the teen wasn’t suicidal but confident. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9TXMg36dA4 維尼

Cheng Hak seemed still when in fact, he had raised his left leg towards Yeung Tin Hun like a spear. The gliphs on his leg chambers lit up. It was the Northern Wind gliph.8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡWAT1vskCVa 維尼

The Northern Wind gliph was an invasive gliph that took the shape of a violent gale. It wasn’t of high grade, and Cheng Hak, who didn’t come from a powerful background, would rarely get the chance to have mystical gliphs tattooed on him. 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡtO0gdbBtjQ 維尼

But countless near-death experiences had now turned the simple Northern Wind gliph into a fatal killer.  He shot out his left leg like a spear in the wind which reached Yeung Tin Hun before Yeung Tin Hun realised it.  8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡyOCp1ZGMcu 維尼

 Facing life and death, chills ran down Yeung Tin Hun’s spine! 8964 copyright protection90ＰＥＮＡＮＡ56Zs64EE5j 維尼
