Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 458

Chapter 458

The body of an ancient divine dragon was similarly powerful.

It swung its rock-like tail, cutting the air in half and making loud noises continuously like a clear ink mark left on a clean white piece of paper. Just with this attack, it was evident how formidable the dragon was. If this attack landed on Mung Si… disqualified would be an understatement, she would just be dead!

“Senior Brother!” Yim Mo Chiu shouted, but Sung Tsz Hin only stared at the figure in the painting as if he did not hear her – the figure that was rushing down.

“Chui Yim, this is your test.”

Even Chui Yim’s face fell after feeling the terrifying strength.

He was extremely confident in his physical body, but not remotely arrogant despite what it seemed like to the rest. Chui Yim was crystal clear on his capability, and with one death experience already, he would never joke around with his life.

Secondly, he was a thinker from the depths of his heart in all aspects, be it medicine, gliphism, alchemy, or anything else.

He analysed and understood each subject in detail.

Chui Yim did not stop testing the limit of his body through spars with Kam Chin Kee even if he was aware of how powerful his body was. Many gliphilities, gliphs, and even his body were just numbers representing energy in his eyes, which allowed him to act fearlessly because he knew that those attacks that could threaten others' lives had nothing on him.

However, this smack from the divine dragon was on a different level. If Chui Yim was careless, it would be more than he could take, leaving him seriously injured or even dead!

Mung Si was scared witless facing such a horrifying attack.

The Cloud Palace enrollment came with slightly dangerous events, but never in history was it life-threatening. Currently, Mung Si felt a strong aura of death, but there was nothing she could do even if she was in her best state.

So, how was she, who was mentally exhausted, to counter this attack?

Boom!!

It sounded as if there was muffled thunder.

However, all Mung Si felt was peace and silence, just like a boat that had nearly capsized in the middle of a thunderstorm having reached safe harbor.

However, she soon felt that her surroundings were burning.

To be exact, a burning person was acting as a meat shield for her, and his flaming hair landed on her face from time to time from the wind.

Bronze skin and flaming hair were two methods that Chui Yim used to increase his physical capability. The flaming hair worked as a minimal boost for him now, but it was a natural reaction at this point.

There was an item that looked like eight divination trigrams in front of his chest, split in half. It was the Heart Guardian Mirror that Yeung Tin Hun saw Chui Yim making, which was made of top-notch ingredients and carved with three defence gliphs of at least grade three.

Even so, the dragon’s attack that smacked hard into Chui Yim’s chest left a crack on the Heart Guardian Mirror he had made with many rare metals and revealed a scary injury.

The horrifying attack from the tail was blocked by the Heart Guardian Mirror as well as Chui Yim’s strengthened body, but it still left a half-meter-long injury on his chest. But Chui Yim did not even spare the wound a look nor the Heart Guardian Mirror that fell and disappeared into the abyss.

Because he was trying his best to control the energy that did not belong to him.

It was unknown when, but there was a blue gliph in front of his scary wound that had absorbed the energy from the dragon’s attack and surged through his body.

All Chui Yim knew was that his meridians felt like they were about to explode. Ever since he successfully activated True Domineer after his and Yeung Tin Hun’s spar, Chui Yim had been practising and managed to grasp hold of it totally. It might’ve been tedious and had crazy requirements, but it was still a grade one technique at the end of the day.

Having adequate physical capability, all that was left for Chui Yim was to practice.

Since True Domineer was crazily powerful and used enemies’ energy as its own, which was going against the laws of nature, the cultivator had a price to pay too. The more powerful the enemy was, the more energy the cultivator could take in, but the greater the pain he would feel.

Chui Yim was currently feeling very uncomfortable, like someone who just ate too much, and his meridians were painfully bloated. Yet Chui Yim was trying his best to control this energy as redness washed over his eyes. “You…”

He raised his right hand, and all the energy from the meridians seemed to find an exit and surged up to the right fist. The bloody light was dim, but it was obvious here in the foggy mountains.

It was just like red dye sprinkled on the beautiful black and white drawing that forcefully snatched the attention of all.

“You’re just a stupid snake!”

Chui Yim yelled as his right fist landed on the tail that just left a wound on him!

Bang!!!

A visible shockwave spread outwards from the point of contact between Chui Yim and the dragon tail! The divine dragon roared in anger as it was sent flying about ten meters away!

“Go up!” Chui Yim could not care much as he carried Mung Si behind him and climbed up the mountain like a giant ape. As the divine dragon was halted, Chui Yim had already reached the cliff with Mung Si.

Roar!!!!

The divine dragon let out an angry roar, and in the blink of an eye, it was now on top of the participants’ heads, right on top of the cliff!

Roar!!!!

Chui Yim’s attack enraged it, and all the surrounding fog suddenly came to a halt and spun slowly with the dragon at the center. The aura of the dragon began to increase.

From grade three… to grade three peak… and grade four.

It did not act carelessly as it continued to increase its strength while glaring at Chui Yim with a death stare, as if fighting the invisible law set for it.

All participants flushed white.

The divine dragon only needed its aura to make their legs turn to jelly. As its aura continued to improve, the Dragon Might that was all around the place got stronger as well. Yeung Tin Hun, Lam Zaa, and Man Yee Ho did not even have the courage to fight it as this was not just a simple difference between states, but the difference between states from different worlds! 

Just as the teens felt that they were going to be crushed under the pressure, a voice rang out, “Enough.”

His words were magical, like they were the rules of the world, as at this instant, all the might disappeared into nowhere!

The teens fell to the ground in a sorry figure. The owner of the voice was behind them. It was none other than Sung Tsz Hin and the other teachers, as well as the vast plain and the five straw huts.

Sung Tsz Hin looked up at the dragon silently, which came to it like an obedient cat who saw its master before disappearing into thin air with a swing of its tail.

The Dragon Might disappeared into thin air as well.

The teens were staring at the Cloud Palace disciples with their jaws wide open. They guessed the first teacher possessed insane gliphism abilities to put humans into drawings and attack them through gliphs he drew from outside, but the straw huts… this made no sense!

As if reading their minds, Sung Tsz Hin smiled. “You were in a painting from the start.” He wiped everything clean with his right hand just like wiping ink from a painting.

When the teenagers regained their senses, they were on the field of the Cloud Palace outer sect.

Their sudden appearance shocked the crowd, but not the powerful clans and organisation leaders.

The Cloud Palace enrollment questions were set by the Cloud Palace disciples, but the actual purpose of these was just to eliminate unsuitable candidates and leave only the best. This last stage was the stage that actually determined the new disciple of Cloud Palace.

The Cloud Trials.
