Night of the Broken Gliph

Lee Bak was a special entity in the Metallic Blood War Gate. Not a member of any prestigious clan or with any powerful supporter, but just a boy from an ordinary family with great cultivation talent. Born with an innate heart chamber, it didn’t take long before a teacher of the Metallic Blood War Gate noticed him during a chamber check and brought him to the institution as a special student. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡdL94dFtZAF 維尼

Under normal circumstances, a cultivator with an innate heart chamber wouldn’t give up the chance to become a gliphist. Even Mung Si, who wasn’t born with an innate heart or wind chamber went to the Chamber Refining Cave so she could become a gliphist. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3yKZW5re95 維尼

However, Lee Bak did the opposite and became a glipher. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJqluAnkNA 維尼

What many people overlooked was that the heart chamber didn’t just boost your mental state but also your physical ability. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQf4NBchXy 維尼

Lung Wai Yuet took Lee Bak in to the Metallic Blood Giant Tower when he was nine, and after four years of seclusion, Lee Bak only came out a few months ago as a one-chambered heart glipher. He was a reserved and quiet teen that many elders of the Metallic Blood War Gate believed would become the seventh disciple of the Cloud Palace despite not enrolling in the outer sect. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡNQi7sbgtU1 維尼

Lee Bak’s ability had always been a mystery, but Kam Chin-Kee would soon know the answer to it. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6phizeVH1E 維尼

8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXqT8MAfjp 維尼

Whoosh! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUAKUpEoOR 維尼

Suddenly, Lee Bak moved his head to the side as a blue figure flew past him. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡajxIR5SPAN 維尼

He would be lying on the ground unconscious like the other if he didn’t move in time. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6kFf4dW9tt 維尼

What’s up with this guy? Kam Chin Kee stared at him and got ready to fight. Flipping his palm, a few small blue beasts appeared in his palm.8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡux88iNvw9Q 維尼

“Go,” He whispered, five blue figures pouncing towards Lee Bak from all directions. Lee Bak kept his composure as he moved his left arm slowly like he was exercising. However, every time he moved, a blue figure slammed into the small shield on his left arm before being bounced back. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4dL8gopAfG 維尼

Clank clank clank clank…It sounded like metal colliding! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86hURtcDz4 維尼

Countless hardly visible blue figures took form when they were about a foot away from Lee Bak before disappearing. It was an odd scene. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97Uf9rGuw7 維尼

Lee Bak blinked, like a pebble was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlzU3gm0pI 維尼

He suddenly moved his right hand which he had kept still since the start of the fight and slashed the air! Kam Chin Kee’s face fell when he saw Lee Bak do that. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡSzfkvQzfH0 維尼

Pfff….8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4whkhYLhUR 維尼

Three blue figures froze in the air and fell onto the withered leaves on the ground. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡPbec6Ps1AN 維尼

“I’ve never seen such a trick,” Lee Bak spoke monotonously, but there was admiration in his voice. “Your style of combat is unique.“ 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqQylf0NoM 維尼

Kam Chin Kee felt that Lee Bak differed from the earlier few; he had a strong passion for combat. This was different from Kam Chin-Kee, who aimed to become powerful enough to control his life, but Kam Chin-Kee didn’t dislike Lee Bak’s character either. “It’s not much.” Kam Chin Kee replied with a smile. At the same time, a few thin, silver threads dropped to the ground from his right hand. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLjcNDQKug 維尼

Lee Bak’s slash had cut off the threads he was using to control the puppets, making them drop to the ground. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3JGYe05ygx 維尼

Kam Chin Kee had reincarnated thrice. He spent his first life in a sect named the Thousand Mechanism Sect, known for puppeteering and manufacturing them. He was the great senior of that sect, dying due to an accident before reincarnating in the Sallow Continent where Chui Yim was from. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡlNVmuma19S 維尼

However, it didn’t take him long to be deceived by cunning man who caused him to lose his life again, finally arriving at this world of gliph. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡzisi1aPfVF 維尼

Thus, puppeteering was a foreign technique from another world. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mOTQ6wxol 維尼

“I see that you are truly a powerful cultivator. It would be rude for me to hold back.” Kam Chin Kee smiled thinly and patted the jade on his waist. A ray of light landed on the ground, solidifying into a wooden wolf that stood as tall as half a man. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡNwh4lqCyPl 維尼

It was no different from the beasts that dropped on the ground earlier, just that it was bigger. The wooden wolf was blue since it was made of a special wood, the spiritual hill tree.8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0nlO8ATQJl 維尼

Spiritual Hill was a small hill located at the Four Season Mountain’s Autumn peak. The odd weather conditions of the Four Season Mountain affected the trees that grew on it. Tough as metal but light as wood, the bad part about the spiritual hill tree was that it wasn’t a good energliph conductor; hence it was rarely used for high-grade gliph weapons or treasures. However, this material was best for grade one gliph weapons, especially for plantae faction gliphers, since it was made of wood. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzcBs8DkIo 維尼

One-chambered gliphers made up the largest demographic of cultivators in this world, so Southern carpenters bought this wood in bulk. Being a small hill, the Spiritual Hill couldn’t keep up with demand and alerted the Four Season Heaven. Yeung Chow, the Autumn Peak leader, solved the problem by claiming the hill as the Four Season Heaven’s property.  Since then, people had to pay to get their hands on the spiritual hill tree wood. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ENvN5GB0W 維尼

The Spiritual Hill Tree's price surged, making the Southern carpenters who used it look for alternatives. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡysrQSMVOuY 維尼

But to Kam Chin-Kee, this material was most suitable for making puppets! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NMcM4XuOM 維尼

The wooden wolf stood next to Kam Chin-Kee, who flashed Lee Bak a thin smile. “Be careful,” In that instant, the wooden wolf disappeared. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡrzxncrlbSE 維尼

Lee Bak watched this with excitement as he entered a horse stance with his left hand in front of him. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1xx8fW0Ret 維尼

Boom! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C6DpYKhmP 維尼

The wooden wolf appeared before Lee Bak and slammed into his small shield! Kam Chin-Kee, who wasn’t far away, smiled as he slightly moved his pinky which made the wolf’s tail swing towards Lee Bak! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡzIcH4vXMSl 維尼

At the tip of the tail was a sharp, hidden knife! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgpY04B0Qi 維尼

Lee Bak exerted force on his left arm and shoved the wolf away! As he squatted into his stance, a sharp aura sliced through the air! At the same time, Lee Bak rolled forward and pounced towards Kam Chin-Kee. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡWsxaL5wjG6 維尼

Catch the man before catching his mount! 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡQn1c24uQ5w 維尼

Kam Chin Kee’s smile grew. What an interesting kid. I’ll play along. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡux8b54g5kb 維尼

At the top of the Forbidden Forest, in the skies, were two people, one of whom was lying on the clouds lazily. When taking a closer look, one would see a small gliph in the depths of the clouds, which the other sat on crossed-legged while she paid close attention to everything in the forest below. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡHWgPVDUkqh 維尼

Who else could the lazy person be other than Cheuk Kwun? 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgraVBtk9U 維尼

‘I’ve marked them all. Chill.” Cheuk Kwun couldn’t help but say after seeing how serious Woo Nim was. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡhK5U0hPuCi 維尼

“It’s my responsibility.” Woo Nim replied without turning around. Her hair bun was so neatly tied that no strand of hair escaped. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡYhD5V9Rz3Q 維尼

“Alright, alright,” Cheuk Kwun gave up. “As long as there’s nothing wrong with the borders you set up, it’s no longer our business. Their cultivation, life and death are up to the heavens.  8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡbir2HanCp6 維尼

“If they can’t even survive this hurdle, then there’s nothing much to be said.” Cheuk Kwun said as he shut his eyes again. It looked like he was sleeping, but in reality, he had already created countless mental copies of himself, watching his students fight gliphic beasts, Metallic Blood War Gate students, and cultivators who were originally adventuring in the Forbidden Forest. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡwhC444jrJ6 維尼

He was like a god looking down at the mortals. 8964 copyright protection84ＰＥＮＡＮＡgdJzUOTu23 維尼
