Chapter 73

After glancing at the gliphs on Chor Shing Chits arm, Chui Yim turned to Bak Wun. Help me wipe his chest clean. Remember, it must be spotless, he said as he brought a basin of water over and started washing his right hand. Due to the injury on his left arm, he moved so slowly that it made Bak Wun anxious.

Are you done? Are you confident you can do this?

Shut up. Chui Yim looked at Bak Wun from the corner of his eyes. I need to focus.

Bak Wun flushed red in anger on hearing Chui Yim, but it wasnt the time for him to do anything other than listen. This kid He gritted his teeth. Get ready for a heavy beating after everything is done

Chui Yim put his bag down from his back and put his hands inside to search for an item. After some time, he took out a rock about the size of his palm. The stone had a dark, cool shade of red. It was almost impossible to visualise.

Whats that? Bak Wun couldnt hold the curiosity in anymore. But there was no answer from Chui Yim, who held onto the rock near the fire. Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

The flames on the bonfire turned visibly smaller immediately. The bonfire was almost put out. A cold draft blew through the entire cave.

Fire! I need more fire!

Knowing that time was precious, Bak Wun listened closely to Chui Yims orders. When he reappeared, he had tons of dried wood in his hands and immediately fuelled the dwindling fire.

The dark red rock became increasingly red, but the cave got colder too. Bak Wun had to sustain the fire continuously. Due to the constant temperature change, Chor Shing Chit, who had been unconscious, slowly woke up.

Seeing Chor Shing Chit open his eyes, Chui Yim immediately told him what he needed. Mr Chor, your heart chamber is going out of control; the only thing we can do now is to risk it and let me tattoo a gliph for you. Mr Chor, are you willing to entrust me with your life and gamble?

Do it, kid. Bearing the pain, Chor Shing Chit forced a smile at Chui Yim. With that, he fainted again without warning.

Without hesitation, a ray of red light was seen on the hand holding the rock. It was the energliph congealing on Chui Yims fingertips when using Flowing Flame Finger.

Principal, hold this rock above the fire for me. As soon as Chui Yim said this, he released his grip.

A strong wind blew, and Bak Wun immediately appeared next to Chui Yim. Boy But before he could chide Chui Yim, Chui Yim yelled at him,

Very soon, the sharp pain took over Chui Yim and disrupted his focus.

My heart hurts! My heart deficiency has been triggered!

Chui Yims skin flushed red immediately, but his hand still moved steadily, not trembling even slightly. Bak Wun was a bag full of nerves as he had heard about Chui Yims heart condition from Chor Shing Chit, but it wasnt a big deal to him in the past as gliphists dont need physical energy to tattoo gliphs, and it shouldnt affect him much.

But this wasnt the case for Chui Yim now as he wasnt a real gliphist yet; he couldnt turn energliph into gliphs directly. He still needed to focus and use his body to tattoo the gliph.

Chui Yim bit his lips until he bled. The metallic taste of blood filled his mouth, allowing him to remain focused. The speed of his fingers increased distinctly, yet his body was turning redder.

He had hit the fifteen-minute mark!

Argh! Chui Yim gritted his teeth, letting out a low growl. Veins popped out of his head.

He moved his injured left hand forcefully to hold onto his right forearm tightly. The crack of his bones was clearly heard, and Chui Yim was trembling, but the forearm set rigidly in place by his other hand was still steady. It didnt shake.

Chui Yims body started to burn even hotter than the fire next to him. Steam emanated from his body. But he was tattooing a gliph onto Chor Shing Chit now, and he didnt have time to care about that.

Seventeen minutes! Chui Yims finger reached Chor Shing Chits right shoulder.

Wake up!

Chui Yim released his finger and yelled; his right finger touched two spots on Chor Shing Chits chest rapidly.

Pzzt!

Adding the finishing touch!

It was as if the Spiral Dragon Head on Chor Shing Chits chest had opened its ruthless eyes. Chor Shing Chits eyes shot open too, letting out a loud growl.
