Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 438



Chapter 438

Seeing how more than half of the participants were eliminated in the first stage, the teenagers who initially belittled the trial were humbled. The fact that even Sun Liu from the Blue Skies Rank was eliminated already while some other cultivators weaker than him made it to the next stage symbolised that pure power was not Cloud Palaces main consideration.

Just then, Hui Sai Cheong came over with a smile. Congratulations on passing the first stage, hehe! It seems like Junior Sisters question was kind of hard, huh?

The crowd was speechless. Wat Suen might have been the fifth teacher of Cloud Palace, but tons of people still looked down on her. Her competitors, Chor Shing Chit and Wong Kwan, were too powerful, and the former was one of the most powerful cultivators of his generation even today despite going missing for a long period of time.

Therefore, the world believed that Chor Shing Chit was worthy of the position of Cloud Palace disciple.

Secondly, it was Wat Suens disability. Outsiders knew nothing about the reason behind it, they were only aware that she was dependent on a walking cane. Despite not showing their disdain, everyone secretly thought that a disabled person was unfit to be the fifth teacher of Cloud Palace and believed Cloud Palace only took her in due to compassion.

Yet today, Wat Suen shut up everyone with her piece.

Was it a gliphility or a style? Nobody knew the answer. The difference between their states was like heaven and earth, so these young talents had no clue about the mysteries behind Wat Suens song; some did not even have the chance to make out before they were thrown out of the venue mercilessly. 

If Wat Suen were to go to war she would cause enemies to lose consciousness the moment she started playing. Dont even talk about her finishing the piece, slightly drifting off on the battlefield could cost one their life.


But dont let your guard down, because it will only get harder as it goes on!

Hearing Hui Sai Cheongs unconventional encouragement, the teens did not even have the strength to retort. The flashback of nearly not escaping the illusion left many of them shuddering. Whats considered hard if that wasnt? Are the following stages going to be very tedious?

Is this an enrollment trial or a shaming party?

Alright, on to Fourth Junior Brother. This time around, you will enter one by one. So whos first? Hui Sai Cheongs smile did not fade.

The crowd exchanged glances. They were all similarly confident and capable teenagers, but it was an important event, and given how smiley the kind Hui Sai Cheong looked, it seemed like he was here for a free show instead. All these factors made them fearful to take the first step.

The straw hut labeled four opened up slowly, but unlike the previous stage, it was pitch black inside like a man-swallowing monster waiting for its prey.

Since all of you are hesitating, Ill go first.

A teen with blue hair stepped forward.

Its the crown prince

Is he the current crown prince, Lam Zaa?

The crowd was discussing, and behind Lam Zaa stood Yam Chui Ying as well as some others. Now, he had On Kuet and Woo Hung behind him too.

Meticulous and great with martial arts, On Kuet was the most outstanding disciple in his clan and the first person to receive the crown prince badge after Chui Yim. He took the offer happily since his clan was loyal to the Lam Dynasty anyway.

And ranked seventh on the Blue Skies Rank, nobody dared to look down on him. Yes, Cloud Palace deemed this mature-looking unassuming teen to be stronger than Fok Fung or Siu Suet. During the inter-school exchange, rather than try for first place, he chose to find a corner and absorb blood intent that would boost his constitution instead.


Despite being expelled from the outer sect, Woo Hung was still the direct disciple of Imperial Physician Kuen and possessed great medicinal and alchemy skills. Thus, he was the third to receive the crown prince badge.

After the inter-school exchange, Lam Zaa realized his weakness and got On Kuet and Woo Hung to join his future team. When he stepped forward, many of his peers were staring at him respectfully.

His courage was worth their respect.

Without further ado, he entered the straw hut.

Bang.


After a long time, the door reopened. Lam Zaa exited the hut to be welcomed with cheers. As mentioned in the rules earlier, exiting the hut was equivalent to passing the stage.

Lam Zaa wore a weird expression, yet he smiled at his team: Yam Chui Ying, On Kuet, and Woo Hung. It's your turn.

Okay.

Soon, he exited while laughing. Haha, it was interesting!

Their success eased the crowd, and many teens gained the courage to head in one by one. Of course, there were some that never came out.


Yeung Tin Hun took a glance at Chui Yim next to him. Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho were both reincarnated humans who had experienced the vicissitudes of life, so they were no different from old men living in the bodies of young boys. Thus, they were able to pass the first stage easily.

Yet Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim were able to break through the illusion almost as fast as themselves! How can that be though?

After staying together for a few months, Yeung Tin Hun and Chui Yim no longer treated each other harshly. However, the fight between them previously left a huge impression on Yeung Tin Hun, especially the weird power from the last few attacks.

This made Yeung Tin Hun subconsciously see Chui Yim as a competitor.

Are you heading in? Yeung Tin Hun looked at Chui Yim, provoking him.

You have a nice robe, youre just too pretentious. Chui Yim sighed.

Yeung Tin Hun was currently wearing the four season robe that changed according to the seasons. It was currently summer, so his robe was bright red in color. Paired with the long sash dancing in the wind as it almost touched the ground, he was visible from afar like a ball of fire.

But the real reason why Chui Yim was interested in the robe was because it was invulnerable to fire, water, and even dust. What was better was that he didnt even need to wash it

Yeung Tin Hun was speechless at how fast Chui Yim could change topic, and his provocation seemed to be like punching cotton, exerting great strength to no impact. Thus, he could only huff hard and enter the straw hut.

Him stepping forward attracted the attention of everyone instantly. His rank on the Blue Skies Rank and his identity as the Four Season Mountain Young Master were as eye-catching as his robe paired with his long sash. Without hesitation, he stepped into the straw hut.

Bang!
