Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 33

If we were to think of energliph as water, the six chambers would be bottles. When the bottles are full, well then need to tattoo gliphs on ourselves. The energliph stored in your innate chambers will turn into the energy required for gliphs to be tattooed. The gliphs are key to your growth, as their grade will determine whether your bottles turn into a bigger bottle, a river, or even a sea.

After tattooing a gliph on a certain chamber, the chamber should be once more filled with energliph for you to be considered an actual one-chambered glipher. 

Chor Shing Chits voice was just like fallen leaves in autumn. It was soft and soothing, yet serious at the same time. Thats why for the past four years, I kept emphasising your fitness. Other than the innate wind chamber, all your limbs capacity is determined by your physical ability. The stronger the energliph you collect initially, the higher the grade the first gliph tattooed on you will be. And with a higher grade gliph , the more energliph you will be able to store in the future. 

Thats why a gliphers body is closely related to his or her strength, Chor Shing Chit said as he scanned the students who always slacked during their fitness class. Your laziness will limit your future achievements. 

After hearing the importance of ones body from Chor Shing Chit, the students looked at each other guiltily.

As for those who have an innate wind chamber, you will cultivate differently. Chor Shing Chit looked towards Chui Yim and Lam Ming. The wind and heart chambers are the hardest to cultivate amongst all the chambers. There have been people who started cultivating energliph since ten, but were unable to fill their wind chamber even when they turned eighteen. However, this isnt a bad sign.

Most with the innate wind chamber will choose to become a gliphist, and the capacity of their wind chambers determine how much energliph a gliphist will have to spare. Your innate chambers represent what youre best at, so gliphists with an innate wind chamber will definitely have more energliph than ordinary gliphers. 

The more time one takes to fill their innate chamber, the more potential the gliphist has. In todays world, the record is twelve years, set by the current imperial empress of Imperial Sunset Palace, Man Chin Hung, who is also known as one of the most powerful gliphists in the world. Her wind chamber was only filled with energliph when she turned twenty-two, and only then did she have her first gliph tattooed.  

All the students were dazed hearing Chor Shing Chit. The Imperial Sunset Palace was an influential organisation in the North and one of the most powerful factions in the world. Rumours had it that Man Chin Hung was a gorgeous woman who possessed countless powerful abilities; even though she was a gliphist with a weak body, the five-chambered glipher and Sect leader of the Four Season Heaven, Yeung Ha was not her opponent. On the contrary, it was said that Yeung Has fifth gliph was tattooed by Man Chin Hung for a great price, so the Four Season Heaven and Imperial Sunset Palace were on excellent terms. 

And this was the legendary gliphist, a blaze of colour, Man Chin Hung. 

Clap. Chor Shing Chit clapped his hands to gather the class attention. Lets not think too far and cultivate one step at a time. 

Chui Yim sat on his bed, legs crossed. The previous chance to enter the Cultivation Style Pavillion was not to select cultivation style or gliphility. Those low-grade styles or gliphilities wouldnt be of much help to him. 

Most importantly, he wanted to find out if his Nine Levels Of Heavens Flame worked in this world and if he could use it to cultivate energliph. 

Back on the Sallow Continent, the Nine Levels Of Heavens Flame could be used for both magic and brawl energy. Thus, Chui Yim was curious if the powerful style could cultivate energliph too, and the answer was yes. 

Since it was possible, he could try to practice the Self Winding Wheel of the Law of the Nine Levels Of Heaven Flame, which he had practiced since he was four. 

Just like its name, there were nine levels to the style. In his previous life, Chui Yim only cultivated until the fifth level of heaven. 

However, unlike the Sallow Continent where two different types of energy existed, magic and brawl energy, there was only energliph in this world. It had been six years since he started cultivating this style, yet he had only managed to break through the first level. 

To be honest, other than its strong ability to control fire and good compatibility, Chui Yim couldnt tell what made the Nine Levels Of Heavens Flame special. However, since it was a divine style passed down by his master, he definitely wouldnt let it go to waste. 

After practising forty-nine cycles of Self Winding Wheel of the Law, Chui Yim took a deep breath. What was weird was that the energliph produced by the Nine Levels Of Heavens Flame wasnt stored in his wind chamber located at the elixir field nor the heart chamber in his heart, but in his abdomen between both chambers. Moreover, it had been six years since he started cultivating the style, yet he wasnt even close to feeling slightly bloated like Chor Shing Chit described.

However, remembering the legendary gliphist who spent twelve years that Chor Shing Chit had mentioned, he was no longer worried. Chui Yim opened his eyes to see Lam Ming busy in the kitchen. 

Four years passed, and due to his and Lam Mings excellent results and theirinnate wind chambers, they were no longer staying in their cramped room at block D, but instead, one of the Tier A rooms in block B, where the teachers, principals and school staff stayed. 

Not only did they get a personal bathroom, but they also had a kitchen to themselves too. Lam Ming no longer needed to secretly light fires in their room. 

Brother Chui, youre done cultivating? Soon, Lam Ming realised that Chui Yim was awake and fetched something from the wok onto a plate, putting it right in front of him. This is Deep Fried Crispy Chicken Knee, a great snack to pair with wine, Lam Ming said as he went back into the kitchen mysteriously, returning with a small pot. I bought this secretly from a wine store. Its a secret! Well be dismissed from the school if others find out.

Dont worry! I will definitely keep it a secret. Chui Yims eyes lit up at the sight of wine.
