Night of the Broken Gliph

The chamber check rock in the chamber check plaza burst into flames all of a sudden. Covered in flames, the pitch-black reflective stone looked just like a meteor. 

Not only the students, but even Chor Shing Chit had never seen such a thing ever in his life. Subconsciously, he drove all the students except for Chui Yim away from the chamber check rock, as he was the source of the scene.

As expected, the flames dispersed as soon as they reached Chui Yim, just like there was something controlling them. Despite being covered in flames, Chui Yim’s reflection could still be seen clearly.

“Chui Yim… double innate chambers, the wind and heart chambers,” Chor Shing Chit said, his voice shaking. 

Yes, Chui Yim had two innate chambers.

He wasn’t the first person in the world to have two innate chambers, nor was it an exceptionally rare sight, but it symbolised that Chui Yim would become a powerful figure in the future. 

Take the Four Season Heaven, a powerful force in the North, as an example. The Four Season Mountain’s clan leader, Yeung Ha’s son, Yeung Tin Hun was discovered to have a double innate chamber of both arms when he had his chamber check at four. Yeung Tin Hun would no doubt become a powerful member of Four Season Heaven in the future. 

However, there was a difference in quality when it came to double innate chambers too!

The most critical chamber to a gliphist would be the wind and heart chambers. 

The wind chamber affected one’s energliph while the heart chamber affected one mentally and spiritually.

Thus, having one of the two was the basic requirement for one to become a gliphist. But now that he has both of these chambers, doesn’t it mean that he’s a natural gliphist?

Nobody knew when Bak Wun had arrived next to Chor Shing Chit. He watched the rock in flames with his mouth agape. What on earth is going on…?

---

After some time, the flames on the rock extinguished by themselves, but the rock was no longer shiny or reflective. It looked just like a regular, black rock. The students were at a loss, but even they could tell that the chamber check rock was “dead”. 

After Chui Yim had his chamber check, the chamber check rock lost its functionality. This meant that the rock that cost a huge bomb was now trash. 

Chui Yim, who was currently standing in front of the rock innocently, turned to Chor Shing Chit anxiously. “This… I don’t need to pay for it… Right?” 

---

“What’s going on! Who’s that kid? Which aristocratic family is he from?!” Bak Wun bellowed at Chor Shing Chit, spit falling onto Chor Shing Chit’s cheek like bullets. 

Chor Shing Chit sighed and wiped his face clean. He’s so healthy and full of energy now, huh… I suspect that his weak and fragile state over the years is just an act…

“No… It’s a waste to leave him in our academy. Siu Chor! I’m sending you to this Chui kid’s family to tell them about it. Such a talent should be sent to powerful organisations for nurturing .” Bak Wun walked up and down, murmuring to himself. 

“We can’t destroy a genius’s life.”

Chui Yim sat in the class, spacing out under his classmate’s comments. 

It wasn’t really a surprise to him. He had expected himself to have what it took to become a gliphist, but not to such a large extent. After spending six years with Chui Tin, he could tell that his father wasn’t as simple as he seemed. 

If Chui Tin isn’t a gliphist, why else would he know so many gliphs?

Moreover, he’s been trying to teach me to become a gliphtor and all about gliphs. This shows that I definitely have the aptitude to become a gliphist, or he wouldn’t waste his time teaching me such things. 

“Big bro, you’re seriously dope. I’ll be your follower from today onwards.” However, as if unable to hear him, Chui Yim continued to stare outside the window. 

“It’s spoiled, huh?” Chan Ngou Tin’s voice rang across the class loudly. Standing up, he turned to the class. “All of you saw the rock burst into flames, right? It should be because the chamber check rock is spoiled. That must be the reason!”

Hearing Chan Ngou Tin, all the students nodded to themselves. They’d rather believe that it was a faulty stone than to believe that they had to be in the same class with a kid with innate heart and wind chambers. It was too much to think about. 

“Yes, it was faulty.” Chor Shing Chit’s voice rang across the class as he walked in. “There was something wrong with the rock, and it can’t be used anymore. Lastly, Chui Yim’s innate chamber is his wind chamber.”  

“Huff…”

The news made the class sigh in relief. They weren’t as shocked to hear about Chui Yim having an innate wind chamber like they were with Lam Ming. After all, an innate wind chamber was much less shocking than a double heart and wind innate chamber. 

Chan Ngou Tin heaved a sigh of relief too. But the thought of Chui Yim having the talent to become a gliphist made him grit his teeth. 

“Chui Yim, follow me,” Chor Shing Chit said to Chui Yim, who kept staring out of the window.

Chui Yim turned back to the short boy trailing behind him weirdly. “Why are you following me?”

“Mr Chor looks like he’s up to no good. I’m worried about you, big brother,” Lam Ming glanced at Chor Shing Chit and replied softly.

“Don’t gossip behind a glipher; we have strong senses,” Chor Shing Chit said coldly. Lam Ming hid behind Chui Yim once again, trembling. 

I know you’re only six, but how much more sissy can you get? Chui Yim looked at Lam Ming, at a loss for words.

The trio soon arrived at the plaza where the fitness class was held. 

“Chui Yim, how dare you.” Chor Shing Chit stopped in his tracks and turned to face Chui Yim coldly.

“What’s wrong?” Chui Yim asked in confusion.
