Chapter 469


    The news reached those waiting at the small field of the Cloud Pce outer sect within no time.


    Everybody present had their gaze on the teen who always wore a calm smile.


    “Congrattions, Brother Kam.” Lee Bak was the first to walk up. He and Kam Chin Kee’s friendship could be described as “getting closer through fights,” and Kam Chin Kee risked being seriously injured to save Lee Bak back at the first teacher’s chain bridge.


    Simrly, Lee Bak sacrificed his Cloud Trial chance to buy time for Kam Chin Kee.


    “I’m just lucky,” Kam Chin Kee returned the courtesy. “I’ll have to thank Brother Lee for saving me.”


    “If not for you risking your life to save me, why would I sacrifice my chance to save you?” Lee Bak shook his head.


    “But do not let your guard down, Brother Kam, or you might discover that you’recking so muchpared to me after returning from Cloud Pce.”


    “Haha, alright.” Kam Chin Kee chuckled.<hr>


    Lam Zaa wore aplicated expression, disbelief making arge part of it.


    He always disliked Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee. The former had the myopic idea of not joining Lam Zaa’s future team that would provide him with one of the greatest authorities in the world. As for Kam Chin Kee, Lam Zaa had a gut feeling of dislike towards him. To be exact, Lam Zaa hated how the other could always remain so tranquil and calm to the point that he seemed indifferent.


    Even Lam Zaa did not realise that he craved that particr quality so much. He tried to mimic the other but to no avail, thus, he hated Kam Chin Kee, the boy that was officially destined to be above him this very moment.


    So what if he was the crown prince or had the blood of royalty running through his veins?


    There were at least hundreds or even thousands of those who shared this quality recorded in the books.


    But not the Cloud Pce disciples. There were only seven disciples taken in per generation, and after a thousand years, there were only at most twenty Cloud Pce disciples. And almost every one of them had their life stories written into a biography.


    To be exact, the moment he or she was selected, it was determined that his or her name would go down in history.<hr>


    The result caused amotion in front of the Cloud Rank.


    Supporters of Kam Chin Kee boasted proudly about how they had a keen eye for talent, while supporters of other talents couldn’te to terms with the oue.


    They believed that it was the second illogical decision Cloud Pce had made after Wat Suen. If capability was the determining factor, Mung Si would no doubt have clinched victory, and participants who went through all five stages did not witness any performance that made Kam Chin Kee stand out from the rest either.


    Some even felt that Kam Chin Kee must have made use of the fact that he was an orphan during the Cloud Trials to make Cloud Pce pity him to secure the precious slot!


    As the Southerners were still in shock from the news of Kam Chin Kee being the sixth teacher, they failed to notice the changes taking ce to the white stone tablet.


    It trembled slowly, as if the huge invisible hand couldn’t believe what was going on.


    When some regained their senses and nced at the space next to Kam Chin Kee’s name, they were left bbergasted.


    “It… it… it…” Somebody pointed to the Cloud Ranking, shaking badly and at a loss of words.


    His friends who were facing away from the stone tablet sighed. “I know you support the crown prince, but since the results are already determined, there’s no point in crying over spilled milk.”


    “No… it…”


    Annoyed, his friends turned around and looked at where he was pointing at. “What’s wrong with it? The words are read as Kam Chin Kee… erm… huh…?”


    More and more turned to look at the stone tablet, and gasps filled the air like storms in the night sky.


    Having been established for about a thousand years, they only took in one disciple every ten years, and seven disciples made up one generation.


    This had been the same since a thousand years ago. But today, it would be a sleepless night.


    The thunderstruck crowd strongly believed that there must be a mistake in this enrollment. Rather than the second name that appeared next to Kam Chin Kee’s, they mostly questioned if Kam Chin Kee was indeed the selected teen.


    Amongst the confusion, azure birds were sent out across the world.<hr>


    “May I ask if there’s a mistake?” Yam Chui Ying queried. Towards Cheuk Kwun and Woo Nim, he didn’t have much respect for them. He was only sent to the outer sect to apany Lam Zaa, and currently, he was mad, and his words wereced with barbs. “Who''s in charge of the announcement? Is there a mistake?”


    Nobody stepped up to stop Yam Chui Ying because they shared the same opinion as him.


    Ever since Cloud Pce was established a thousand years ago, there had never been an instance where two disciples were selected in one enrollment.


    This was going against their tradition of a thousand years!


    “There’s no mistake,” Cheuk Kwun answered, unflustered, even if he was simrly dumbfounded when he first heard of it. But after confirming with Sung Tsz Hin that it was the final decision of his master, he updated the confirmed results. “I am the one that updated the rankings.”


    He looked around to see shock, disbelief, and even suspicion in the eyes of the crowd.


    Thus, Cheuk Kwun spoke again, using the words that the first teacher told him to. “The so-called Cloud Pce traditions that the world believes in are inurate. To begin with, it was only your inference.


    “Cloud Pce has never once said that we would only select one disciple per enrollment, it was just that every enrollment has only ever had one suitable candidate.


    “But if there’s more than one suitable candidate, we will take them in too.


    “The seventh teacher of Cloud Pce – Chui Yim,” Cheuk Kwun said and waved his hands.<hr>


    Initially, Chui Yim, who stood next to Kam Chin Kee, had his hands on the other’s neck and gave him yful punches to his belly. “How dare you snatch my spot!? I’ll bully you badly if you return weaker than me!”


    But before Kam Chin Kee could respond to him, the news of Cloud Pce taking in two disciples for the first time in a thousand years reached them, and the crowd was staring at them like they were monsters.


    Chui Yim was even more unknownpared to Kam Chin Kee. Two years ago, he was just an ordinary disciple at the borders of the South, in a city called Southary. There, he attended a normal school, and he even had to escape for his life from a single-gliphic gliphist.


    Two yearster, he became so outstanding that he shone brightly even during the day.


    He became Doctor Odd Ping Chi’s direct disciple, the Chor n’s Young Master Chor Shing Chit’s very close friend, a fourteen-year-old cksmith and medicine great master, possessing the body of a grade three monster, creating a brand new method of forging of weapon refining, and much more.


    Every one of his titles was able to shake the world, but they all belonged to Chui Yim. When everyone recalled this, they realised it actually made a lot of sense for him to be the Cloud Pce disciple.


    “It seems that you should address me as Senior Brother.” Kam Chin Keeughed.


    “Get lost!” Chui Yim yelled angrily.
