Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 96

After placing the rock into his bag, Chui Yim was stupefied. A weird-looking gliph which sat beneath the rock was revealed. 

Instantly Chui Yim lost track of time when his eyes met the gliph, but his consciousness continued to magnify. He was completely blown away by it. 

The gliph was a simple one, made of only two strokes. It was unlike any word or gliph known to Chui Yim. However, he somehow understood the meaning behind the gliph instantaneously. Earth. 

Earth, life, vitality and infinity was what it meant. 

His sight enlarged like a microscope, and he was thrown off his feet to discover that the two-stroked gliph, only a square metre large, was actually a combination of countless gliphs. 

Chui Yim always had confidence in his knowledge of gliphism because of his considerably advanced starting point, especially in terms of his viewpoint of gliphs; The world itself is a gliph, Chui Tin had instilled in him, so Chui Yim viewed gliphism differently from others. Moreover, after six years of basic gliphism lessons from Chor Shing Chit, Chui Yims foundation was excellent. 

However, this resulted in a massive gap between basic gliphism and the high-grade gliphs that Chui Tin showed him. Chui Yim could only forcefully memorise all the high-grade gliphs instead of understanding them clearly. This showed that the more you know, the more you would realise you didnt know. 

This was what gliphism was and why most gliphists would only practice gliphism, energliph and only have gliphs tattooed. Alternatively, they might work on gliphilities for their innate chamber. It was simply because gliphism was too content-heavy, even if a person dedicated his entire life to it. 

Chui Yim was enlightened the moment he saw the ordinary-looking but profound gliph. The complicated high-grade gliph became open and clear to him in his mind. Even though he did not fully understand the gliph, Chui Yim still roughly knew what was happening. Yet a few seconds later, he disappeared into thin air. 

Darkness filled the space, but Chui Yim didnt feel even the slightest fear. Having experienced death, Chui Yim was able to keep his cool in this situation. He somehow knew that he had arrived here due to the gliph. 

Crackle crackle. There was a bonfire in front of him, burning brightly as sparks leapt. 

A figure sat behind the fire, who let out a gasp on noticing Chui Yim. Where is this naughty kid from? Get lost. 

Immediately after the man said this, he was greeted with an aroma as an item banged against his chest. Chui Yim flew out like a sandbag and vanished into thin air once again. 

Eh! Wheres my drumstick? A gasp rang out in the darkness. Oh no! I threw it at that kid! 

Both Chor Shing Chit and the eagle were dumbfounded. 

They couldnt believe their eyes when they saw Chui Yim stuffing the massive rock in his bag. As a clan member, Chor Shing Chit was no stranger to spatial treasures; the black jade ornament hanging on his neck was one too. But it could only hold a single weapon, while Chui Yims bag

Damn, thats a huge rock! 

What was even worse was that afterwards, Chui Yim had disappeared! 

Similarly, the eagle was at a loss too. However, being quick-witted, the eagle was still able to react and dash straight for Chui Yims bag on the ground despite being stunned as well. 

Dont even think about it! Chor Shing Chit gritted his teeth and charged after the eagle albeit being slightly slower. But how would Chor Shing Chit be faster than the eagle? The eagle arrived next to the bag and tried to grab it with its sharp beak in a split second. 

Plop! 

A figure appeared out of nowhere and banged into the eagle trying to grab the bag. As soon as that happened, the gliph on the ground disappeared. 

Rumble

The mountain range suddenly started shaking. Bestial howls echoed throughout the mountain range, as if an invisible switch in the mountain range had just been turned on! 

An elder walking up the mountain range scowled immediately. His scoldings followed in no time. Who found it! Who! Ive been searching for seven years, that bastard! 

Not just him, many others were yelling in anger too. However, nobody dared to stay any longer as they all vanished on the spot. 

In the depths of the mountain range, a small group was making their way up the mountain range, with Ha Yu Bing from the Great Book Academy as the team leader. Sensing the movement of the ground, she turned pale immediately and turned around to her gentle teacher, who was at the back of the group.

Its been found. It just wasnt fated for you all, the teacher said.

How could this happen! Ha Yu Bings face turned even paler as she felt it was unfair. 

The female teacher was relatively young. She looked around and turned to her students. We must leave now. The mark has been found, thus making the mountain range shift. It will be five years before it appears again. Hurry! 

Ignoring Ha Yu Bing and the groups opposition, she covered them with her energliph and ran at lightning speed. 

Rumble

The entire mountain range shook, and trees started to collapse like dominoes. 

This wasnt due to an earthquake, but due to gliphic beasts. This was a beast tide!
