Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 542

He launched an attack with his right hand clumsily, seemingly an unskilled attack. At the same time, his body was left in an awkward position. However, this ugly-looking move helped Man Fai dodge Chan Bun’s Flowing Light Punch and land a hard attack on Chan Bun’s face.

The attack was filled with energliph, and given how Chan Bun’s energliph had yet to rejuvenate, Chan Bun was sent flying. He crouched on the ground and caressed his cheeks in disbelief.

Man Fai was similarly stunned as he stared at his right hand, unable to process the previous situation.

Chui Yim behind him nodded his head silently. He’s indeed talented.

Chan Bun stood up, feeling extremely indignant and embarrassed. “How dare a trash like you beat me up!?” He threw another Flowing Light Punch out while Man Fai countered with the same move.

The crowd could tell that Man Fai, who had received coaching from the seventh teacher, was now stronger than Chan Bun.

“That’s enough.” Hung Tin Ming cut them off, face falling slightly. It was kind of disrespectful towards him for Chui Yim to just poke his nose in their school’s matter, but as the seventh teacher, he paid a visit to his small martial arts school, so what could Hung Tin Ming be unhappy about?

“Man Fai won the round and passed the assessment.”

Man Fai stood on the spot at a loss, while Chan Bun knelt on the ground in dismay, tears of regret rolling down his cheeks.

Hearing him, Man Fai knelt instantly. “Thank you for coaching me, teacher. Please take me in as your disciple!”

The crowd was left in commotion about how sharp Man Fai was. As same state cultivators, they couldn’t help but compare themselves with each other. Asking to become seventh teacher’s disciple… if that happens, he, the trash who only broke through his innate chamber at the age of fourteen, could have his destiny rewritten! Cloud Palace can do anything, after all.

“I’m on a journey now, so I don’t have the time for it.” Chui Yim rejected. His answer put a disappointed expression on Man Fai’s face. It was now that Chui Yim could tell that he was a fourteen-year-old.

“Leave with me, this place is useless for you,” Chui Yim said after some thought. With that, he turned to leave the martial arts school.

Kam Chin Kee and Lam Ming Sum were left speechless. This Chui Yim…

Kam Chin Kee turned to flash Hung Tin Ming an apologetic smile and followed after Chui Yim. “Sorry, I have to take my leave now.”

With that, they followed Chui Yim out of the place, leaving a greatly angered and embarrassed Hung Tin Ming.

Watching them leave, Suen San Kuk was in deep thought. To the world, the mysterious Kam Chin Kee fit the stereotype of Cloud Palace more, but to Suen San Kuk, he aspired to be like Chui Yim, coming and going as he liked.

Chui Yim was doing as he pleased, not caring about the rules… and that should be how a powerful person acted!

Thus, Chui Yim secretly grew into a giant in Suen San Kuk’s heart.

“Where are we heading, teacher?” Man Fai, who was following behind him, asked.

“Yeah, where are we going?” Chui Yim stopped in his tracks, leaving Man Fai speechless.

This seventh teacher is unreliable.

At the same time, Kam Chin Kee and Lam Ming Sum caught up with them.

“Let’s head to Man Fai’s residence, then?”

“Er… my house is very small. I’m afraid the teachers will be uncomfortable…” Wei Hui said awkwardly.

“Let’s go.” Chui Yim waved his hands.

“To where?” Man Fai was taken aback.

“To your house?”

“…teacher, are you even listening?”

“Cut the crap and hurry up.”

The Cloud Palace trio was only a few years older than Man Fai, but because of their identities, methods of handling stuff, and character, it was difficult for people to link them to their actual age.

With that, the group of four came to Man Fai’s house.

Man Fai’s house was small, consisting of only one room and one small living room. Other than the dining table, there was only a small bed for Man Fai. There were also two comfortable bamboo chairs outside the house. The owners of the house might spend a lot of time sunbathing and stargazing on the chairs.

“Mummy, I’m back!” Man Fai shouted before knocking on his head. “Erm… I apologize; I forgot my mum was at work. Have the teachers eaten lunch?”

The trio exchanged glances.

After some time, Man Fai exited the kitchen with three dishes and three bowls of rice.

“I’m sorry, I have never made food for anyone other than my mum, I don’t know how it tastes.” Man Fai scratched his head.

Chui Yim did not listen to him and started to dig in, while Kam Chin Kee only flashed him a gentle smile and did so too.

“It’s not bad.” Lam Ming Sum flashed Man Fai a wide smile. The youth replied with a giggle, unaware that the girl speaking to him was the chef for Cloud Palace disciples along with the third teacher.

The simple dish was a change of taste for the trio who had delicacies daily.

After the meal, Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee both took a rest on a bamboo chair outside the house while Lam Ming Sum went into the kitchen to prepare them tea with some tea leaves she kept in her Divine Bracelet of Five Elements. On the other hand, Man Fai watched them with a silly smile.

Today was like a dream to him. He was still a useless piece of trash yesterday, but today, two Cloud Palace teachers were sitting in his house!

He carefully pinched his thigh. Am I dreaming?

But the thought of this made Man Fai release his pinch. If it is, it would be best to never wake up.

However, his secret actions would never deceive Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee.

“Why aren’t you cultivating any style?” Kam Chin Kee asked out of the blue, leaving Man Fai stunned speechless.

If any of Man Fai’s previous or current classmates or teachers were present, they would definitely be stunned with jaws dropped.

Man Fai wasn’t cultivating any style!?

Every cultivator, including those in the ancient past, cultivated in the same way; to break through their innate chamber, they relied on a cultivation style to absorb the heaven and earth energy and convert it into their own energliph to fill up the innate chamber before they could successfully break through.

For ordinary people, let alone cultivating styles, they could not even feel the energy of heaven and earth.

How could someone gain energliph if they did not cultivate any style? Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee were confident that Man Fai did not cultivate any style because there were records of it in the Cloud Forest books.

A thousand years ago when the world was disrupted by war and great sects were wiped out, cultivation faced a formidable challenge. Many powerful legacies disappeared from the world, and there was only a small number of cultivators in the world during that century. So, how did that small number of cultivators manage to cultivate?

They created their own styles. It was a treacherous method that ended with a ninety percent failure rate. Those that failed ended up as commoners for the rest of their lives.

Man Fai was only fourteen, yet he was already creating his own style. So how could Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee not be amazed?
