“You won’t believe what happened.” Siu Suet nodded, her eyes sparkling as she told her about everything that had happened. Siu Bing immediately guessed what had happened when she mentioned the bald teen.
“Is he called Chui Yim?” Siu Bing sighed when Siu Suet finished.
The same time at the Eastern Blue Dragon Avenue’s Star Unite Education Center. It was the same night, but there was a different situation.
A faint energliph shrouded the education centre. If there was an elite in gliphism star-gazing, he would notice that the energliph cover's nodes reflected the stars' movements like it was absorbing the night sky’s energy.
In the middle of the huge formation was a beautiful girl. With her yellow shawl, she looked like a fairy that descended into the mortal world. Behind her stood a gentle middle-aged man with a thin smile.
The girl was only sixteen, yet she was able to control starry sky energy which proved that she had cultivated the Star Unite Secret to a certain degree while even her seniors had not even started cultivating it! She was the disciple with the greatest potential.
After a long time, she opened her eyes to discover the middle-aged man behind her. “Master, thank you for guarding the formation for me.”
The middle-aged man waved his hands. He was the actual in-change behind the Star Unite Education Center today—the thousand-gliphic gliphist, Chan Chung Ching. He had stepped down long ago, but this sixteen-year-old genius was his disciple, and since he received news that the violent lady next door had an equally excellent disciple, Chan Chung Ching decided to end his seclusion.
There wasn’t much that he cared about at his state except the chance to gain enlightenment of the legendary state, a state of immortality, and his disciples.
Chan Chung Ching was confident in his disciple. “Siu Yao, I heard this interschool exchange is unlike the previous ones. Are you confident?” The girl was none other than the best disciple of the Star Unite Education Center’s current generation, Kong Yau.
“Master sure likes to joke,” Kong Yau laughed gently. “How could Siu Yao lose with Master’s guidance?” She spoke softly, but Chan Chung Ching knew she was more aggressive than her soft appearance.
“Mhmm, but you’ll be going against a boy named Lee Bak from the Metallic Blood War Gate, and he’s somebody you must beat.” Chan Chung Ching nodded. At his and Lung Wai Yuet’s state, it was almost impossible for them to compete when their strength could destroy South Imperial City. Without Old Ngai’s Thousand Mountain and Streams formation, their surplus energliph would’ve destroyed the entire city when they fought the necrocultivators.
Thus, their disciple would be competing on their behalf. The interschool exchange seemed simple, but there were numerous hidden undercurrents; they were the three greatest institutions, after all. Their school fees were only slightly cheaper than the Cloud Palace outer sect, but they had way more students.
Luckily, all three institutions had elites behind them that secured their status.
Other than the three institutions, there were eight other institutions without any five-chambered or thousand gliphic elites guarding the school, but their capability was close to three largest institutions. Thus, they also participate in the interschool exchange. The competition comprised the three great institutions, eight other institutions and the Cloud Palace outer sect. Despite being known as an exchange, it was actually a competition to determine the resources they would be given according to their rank. Well, except for the Cloud Palace outer sect. This was just an experience for their disciples.
But things were serious for the other institutions as this exchange would decide their resources. The Lam dynasty might have ruled the South for centuries, but it didn’t mean they were perfect. The resources they could distribute were limited, so the institutions had to compete.
For an elite like Chan Chung Ching, Lung Wai Yuet’s disciple was the only person he considered equal competition. However, Kong Yau gave him a sweet smile. “Master, Siu Yao doesn’t care about Lee Bak, only Mung Si from the North.” Battle intent gleamed in her eyes when she mentioned her name.josei
“Siu Yao will become the next disciple of the Cloud Palace after beating her and making master proud.”
“Interesting,” Chan Chung Ching laughed. “I’ll look forward to it.”
It was just another old day for Chui Yim.
The competition with Chau Ling was just an intermission for him as he had already figured out where the other party stood after seeing his Soul Destroying Sword back at the auction house.
More importantly, he was now a single-gliphic gliphist and the Heaven’s Flame, which used to limit his forging had merged with his heart, so he could now use as much time as needed. Whether it was his knowledge, skills or gliphism, he had surpassed the great master and was now approaching the grandmaster state. He would have already tried forging grade-four gliph weapons if he didn't fear the unwanted attention.
Chui Yim had bid Choh Hang Sang goodbye after taking many special gliphic plants from him, so it was a worthwhile trip. He returned home and had dinner with Kam Chin-Kee and Yeung Chun before going to his workshop to continue cultivating.
He was now facing a new problem besides the Heaven’s Flame. The grey crown lying near his diaphragm quietly. It was the backlash from the phantom monkey on its deathbed. It was a powerful, high-class bloodline animal that was said to be stronger than even the giant demonic spider; as legends said there had been an immortal, six-chambered state phantom monkey a thousand years ago.
