Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 456

Amongst everyone, Lee Bak and Yeung Tin Hun were the most affected despite the latter performing excellently.

With incredible speed, Yeung Tin Hun fired numerous spear attacks that landed on the mountain instantly before he slammed into it. The repulsion force decreased the damage done to him, but he still ended up vomiting blood!

On the other hand, Lee Bak suffered the most. He was cautious to not activate Blood Body during his spar with Kam Chin Kee, yet, the spar still greatly drained his energliph and blood energy, and he ended up lacking both when he fell unexpectedly.

Taking this into consideration, Lee Bak, who managed to catch the chain, did pretty well for being thrown off without warning.

But at this moment, the broken chain hit the mountain and threw him off with great force!

“Damn it!” Lee Bak smiled bitterly facing this weird stage. Just as he thought he would be disqualified, a silver string coiled around his feet and pulled him back up!

It was Kam Chin Kee, whose face flushed white. “Hurry, I don’t think I can last much longer!”

Lee Bak was no dumb teenager. He immediately turned over and climbed up the silver string. Shortly, he managed to grab hold of the chain. “Thank you, Brother Kam.”

Currently surrounded by fog and ash, the teenagers heard more loud crashes coming from the mountain behind them, which seemed to be another part of the chain crashing into the mountainside.

The teenagers no longer had the means to fight each other now that they were facing such a tough situation. The end and the start were originally connected by a huge chain, which was now chopped off from the middle. Luckily, all participants grabbed the chain connected to the end, so they could reach the end as long as they continued climbing up the mountain.

This was when the difference between gliphists and gliphers surfaced.

Gliphists focused on their mental state while gliphers focused on their physique.

A glipher naturally had better physical abilities than gliphists, and this was reflected in their speed as the teenagers climbed up the mountain. Man Yee Ho was the best-performing amongst the remaining gliphists in this competition.

Imperial Sunset Palace's Man Ching Hung's faction cultivated in a slightly weird manner; they did not just focus on their mental state, they had requirements towards their body as well. Back then, Man Yee Ho performed a horse stance while he practiced drawing with his ten fingers, which allowed him to exceed his peers.

On the other hand, despite looking okay, Kam Chin Kee had just used a huge amount of energy to save Lee Bak.

Mung Si was in the worst state though. Being a double innate chamber gliphist, she had a strong body and mental state, but after performing the Hundred Phoenix Feather, she was drained of mental strength, and she was about to black out. She was still holding on with her strong determination, but she was becoming slower and slower.

The crowd climbed up silently, but Sung Tsz Hin wouldn’t let them reach the end so simply.

Roar… An unclear roar came from afar, making their faces turn pale!

It was the annoying dragon again! The dragon’s cry was lengthy, which allowed the teens to know that it was coming for them!

“Almost there!” Chui Yim, who had the strongest body, was definitely leading. Currently, he was climbing to the top and was able to see the cliff edge!

Yeung Tin Hun’s eyes lit up. He was in sorry shape, but he was one of those in the middle, and the sight of the cliff edge caused the energy he was previously preserving to explode. At the same time, Man Yee Ho flickered his fingers, and the simple Feather-Light gliph landed on him and Yeung Tin Hun to boost their speed.

The closing dragon made Lam Zaa, who wore a serious expression, boost his speed too by using the invisible energliph aura around himself to strengthen his body! As one who was not good in speed, getting first was now not of utmost importance to Lam Zaa.

With that, Kam Chin Kee, Lee Bak, and Mung Si were in last.

Chui Yim was in first, leading by a huge distance. His monster-like body made none of the other participants his competitor, and he would definitely clinch first if he continued.

But instead, he made his way down, in the opposite direction of Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho.

Yeung Tin Hun looked at Chui Yim with a complex expression when Chui Yim passed him, but the other did not even spare him a look.

Chui Yim hurried to Kam Chin Kee and shouted. “Kam boy, speed up!”

“I’m in a bad state, I don’t think I’ll last much longer.” Kam Chin Kee smiled bitterly. He was in an even worse state than he imagined, and he was about to break down. He and Mung Si were doing an extremely great job persevering considering the circumstances they were dealing with.

They could not even draw gliphs to speed up like Man Yee Ho did because they could not even congeal gliph strings!

“Don’t give me such bullshit. Don’t forget how arrogant you were when you said that the spot would be yours!”

Two gliphs landed on Kam Chin Kee, making him feel at ease. They were the Feather-Light and Attention gliphs; one was used to boost speed while the other was used by gliphists to calm themselves down when they were mentally tired of tattooing cultivators to increase focus.

Even the Cloud Palace disciples spectating were shocked. They had already forgotten that Chui Yim was a gliphist with an innate heart chamber and the ability to draw gliphs in the air because of his loud character and extremely powerful body!

“Hurry, hurry!” Chui Yim drew another Feather-Light gliph that landed on himself and Lee Bak. Lee Bak might’ve been seriously injured, but being an innate heart chamber glipher, he had a body stronger than other gliphers, thus, he began climbing up in a sorry figure.

“Hurry hurry hurry hurry….” Chui Yim mumbled as he pulled Kam Chin Kee up. At the same time, the annoying dragon came again and activated its Dragon Breath after scanning around with its soulless eyes.

“Irritating!” Chui Yim exerted force through his left arm and threw Kam Chin Kee upwards like a toy while he and Lee Bak took a leap!

Boom!

The chain was burnt again, leaving Chui Yim shouting in anger. “That’s enough!” He immediately caught Kam Chin Kee in the air quickly, and the trio went up the chains in a hurry once again!
