Chapter 543
Man Fai was way more talented than Chui Yim expected.
The move Chui Yim taught Man Fai was Blue Willow''s Wee, the first move of Thousand-Leaves Hand, a powerful skill of the Thousand-Leaves Sect. It might’ve been a basic martial arts move, but Man Fai sessfully executing the move within such a short period of learning proved the youth to be a genius.
“Because… the styles that those schools gave me seem kind of off…” Man Fai replied to their question cautiously.
“Of course, no martial arts school would give you a full set of high-quality cultivation styles.” Kam Chin Kee chuckled.
A smile formed on Chui Yim''s face when he heard Man Fai''s answer. “But you knew that cultivating those styles would allow you to break through at an early age, so why did you still choose to create your own style?”
Man Fai looked up with a solemn expression. He sat upright, determination flowing out of his small frame. “I would rather take the right path to sess than the wrong path to sess, even if my decision ultimately leads to failure.”
The boys were taken aback, while Chui Yim shook his head. “You''re only fourteen. I don''t know where you learned these principles from, but why choose to lead a poor lifestyle and hop from martial arts schools instead of giving up?”
“Because this is what my mother taught me,” Man Fai answered after some thought.
“She said that it’s easier to give up than persevere, and I fancy challenges.”“Chui Yim, I like this boy.” Kam Chin Keeughed heartily, but the other waved his hands.
“Don''t even think about it, he doesn''t suit your style.”
Kam Chin Kee shed Chui Yim a smile; he could tell.
After careful consideration, Chui Yim pulled out a bag of silver for Man Fai. “In this bag there should be enough money for you and your mother to travel to South Imperial City. Let her know about it and head for the South''s capital together.
“Go to Apex Temple located at South Imperial City''s ck Tortoise Avenue and look for a monk named Yuen Yau. Tell him that I sent you there, and they will organize everything for you.”
Man Fai couldn''t get his mind around what just happened. He mentioned to his previous teachers that he was creating his own style, but they viewed it as childish banter. Some even believed that it was Man Fai''s excuse for beingzy and untalented.
The sun set, and Man Fai''s mother returned. Chui Yim told her everything that happened and promised that Man Fai would be in good care at South Imperial City. Initially, his mother was sceptical, but when she saw the bag of money Chui Yim gifted them, she trusted his words and left with Man Fai that night.
The Cloud Pce trio stayed overnight at Man Fai''s house after the owners left.
Lam Ming Sum tidied the house simply and slept in the room, while Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee slept under the night sky under the bamboo chairs.<hr>
The next day, the Cloud Pce members headed for the Hung n again. Since it was the n who invited them, it would make no sense for them to not pay a visit, and as if predicting that Chui Yim and friends would be visiting them, there were already Hung n members waiting for them outside, donned in neat, azure outfits.
Just like how ck was the Chor n’s colour, while the Wong n used the colour yellow and the Lee n used red and white, the Hung n used azure, and in Great Wisdom City, only Hung n members could wear this colour. But of course, those weing Chui Yim and friends outside the Hung n would be the n’s members.
The man standing in the middle was Hung Tin Ming, the owner of Daybreak Martial Arts School that the trio paid a visit to the day before. He might not have been the direct descendant of the Hung n, but being great with rtions, he became a member that they valued.
Obviously, he kept how the Cloud Pce trio left of their own ord unsaid and exaggerated how they came to his martial arts school as guests. Thus, the Hung n gave the task of weing the Cloud Pce members to him.
Sure, they looked like they were enemies with Cloud Pce and didn’t attach importance to it, but Cloud Pce was still where all gliphs originated from, after all.
Nobody dared to look lightly at them.
“Wee to the Hung n.” Hung Tin Mingughed.
Chui Yim chose to remain silent, as he did not fancy nor was he good at engaging with people like Hung Tin Ming, while Kam Chin Kee already put on a business smile to chat with Hung Tin Ming.
On the other hand, Chui Yim chatted with Lam Ming Sum as they went.
The trio was amazed when they made their way inside the Hung n.
The Hung n was brimming with the vibes of a martial arts n, unlike the neat and clean Chor n. Their floors were made with wooden nks, while pathways were paved with cobblestones. They weren’t as minimalistic as the Chor n, but less extravagantpared to the other ns.
The Hung n gave off a profound and mysterious vibe.
As they went, Chui Yim felt unfriendly stares directed at the three of them. But this didn’t affect the trio, since they already felt the unfriendly aura from the invitation and expected a not-so-friendly wee in the city. After yesterday, they also knew that Great Wisdom City was a city of martial arts, not one of peace.
Still, there was nothing they feared as they represented Cloud Pce, and there was nothing that Cloud Pce feared. Under Hung Tin Ming’s lead, they arrived at the Hung n’s main hall in no time.
What they did not expect was for the main hall to be an enormous training ground!
There were members sitting in the training ground, waiting for their arrival with strong energliph waves flowing out of them.
The six of them were in the four-chambered state, and currently they were sitting on cushions, opening their eyes the moment the Cloud Pce trio arrived, wanting to witness how powerful the Cloud Pce Itinerants were.<hr>
Be it glipher or gliphist, no four-chambered cultivator was an ordinary being, let alone five-chambered or thousand-gliphic cultivators.
After stepping into the four-chambered state, they could kill simply with a stare, and that was no exaggeration. Gliphers would break through the boundary at the four-chambered state, and afterwards, they would technically not be considered human anymore as their bodies would see changes from the heaven and earth energy.
Even though the six cultivators’ stares could not kill the Cloud Pce trio, it left them ufortable. Chui Yim took a step forward, standing in front of Lam Ming Sum and Kam Chin Kee, his me hair growing out, and the burning energy wave spread out as if it was about to burn the ce down.
“That’s enough.” A voice rang out of nowhere, and Chui Yim felt the energliph in his bodye to a halt, his me hair disappearing within a moment. The stares of the six cultivators were cut off too.
It was only now that Chui Yim and Kam Chin Kee noticed a huge cushion at the other end of the hall, and there was a man sitting on it, staring at them silently.
They didn’t notice this man before, or rather, he was never in their senses.
The boys turned to each other in disbelief. <em>He’s a five-chambered cultivator?!</em>
