Chapter 470
“I refuse to accept this outcome as final!”
A voice echoed through the outer sect, revealing the owner’s indignity
The bustling crowd turned silent the moment they heard him.
Indeed, compared to the participants of the Cloud Trials themselves, who were they to question the results?
Lam Zaa glared at Cheuk Kwun, energliph surging around his body. Invisible energliph movement of the Hundred Streams body gushed like scary rogue waves. “I’m unconvinced.”
Unflustered, Cheuk Kwun pointed towards the classroom that had disappeared previously. It was unknown when, but it had returned silently.
“All unsuccessful candidates, please make your way into the classroom one by one for commentary if you wish.”Finnd new chapters at novelhall.comediately, Lam Zaa strode towards the classroom and went into it under the stares of the crowd.
They were only making a fuss previously, knowing full well that it would not affect Cloud Palace’s decision. Now, all of them were just hoping to find out about the reason for Cloud Palace’s exception from Lam Zaa.
The room was brightly lit up with a man sitting in it. There was a small table in front of him with two worn out cushions.
It was Sung Tsz Hin, who had his black ponytail tied up like always. He signaled Lam Zaa to take a seat opposite him. “Please take a seat.”
Lam Zaa felt his anger dispersing the moment he met Sung Tsz Hin’s eyes that were like an ocean abyss. However, he did not forget what he was here for. “Why the both of them?”
Not why Cloud Palace took two disciples, but why Kam Chin Kee and Chui Yim out of them all.
“Do you like calligraphy?” Sung Tsz Hin returned a gentle smile.
“I asked first.” Lam Zaa was taken aback.
“Please guide me, First Teacher.” Mung Si took this chance and paid full attention to the answer.
“But you do not have a passion for gliphism.”
This left Mung Si thunderstruck. “What?”
“Why did you choose to enter the Chamber Refining Cave back then? Weren't you having a great time practicing martial arts back in the Yim Clan?”
Sung Tsz Hin's voice was magical, pulling Mung Si back to her childhood. In Blazing Skies Mountain, the Yim Clan was a clan of martial artists, and the Mung Clan was their support to make up for the Yim Clan's shortcomings.
The Mung Clan was a “gliphist producer,” born to tattoo gliphs for the Yim Clan.
When she did her chamber check at the age of nine, she stunned the world with her double innate chambers. But being Mung Si, rather than getting carried away, she was obsessed with martial arts and trained hard.
Everything changed one day when she returned home from cultivation and overheard the current Mung Clan Leader, Mung Sam Siu, and the elder's conversation. “The Mung Clan would remain prosperous for centuries if Mung Si was a gliphist.”
Most children wouldn't think much about such a conversation, and if they did, most of them would feel upset.
But Mung Si was an oddball. She, rather than feeling indifferent or upset, felt guilty, which got her to enter the Chamber Refining Cave and exit as a gliphist.
She could only give up on the martial arts that she enjoyed and practice gliphism extremely hard.
Only now did Sung Tsz Hin's words unearth the memory that she hid in the back of her head.
“How can you reach the peak of the world if it's not something you sincerely enjoy?
“You'll have no problem reaching the thousand-gliphic state.
“But that’s your limit. It will be impossible to go even a tiny step beyond that.”
