Chapter 76

Huff!

Chui Yim opened up his eyes suddenly. He tried to sit up, but the pain in his bones made him groan, attracting everyones attention.

Youre awake? A deep, low voice that sounded like rocks clashing rang out. Chui Yim turned over to see Chor Shing Chit.

Mr Chor, are you alright now? Chui Yim asked, but he was taken aback by his own sore voice that was off-key.

Im fine. Thanks for saving me. Chor Shing Chit nodded his head on hearing Chui Yim. He stared at the weak teenager in front of him with mixed feelings. Chui Yim wasnt even in the single-gliphic state, yet he took the risk to tattoo the Spiral Dragon for him. It was dangerous as the energliph mightve backlashed if anything went wrong even slightly during the process. Moreover, Chui Yim was born with a heart deficiency, making it even riskier.

Back when Chui Yim made the Fallen Stars Rod, the basic gliphs, Stunning Thunder and Vanguard Soldier, were already too much for his heart to bear. Chui Yims gliph carving skills showed drastic improvement over the years, but the Spiral Dragon was a shocking leap. Luckily, it was only the Spiral Dragon Head which he had to tattoo. The entire set would have exhausted all his energliph when he was only one-sixth through the gliph.

No, Chui Yim replied. I saved you because you saved me.

And that was precisely what had happened. This was the reason why Chui Yim took the risk to tattoo a gliph for Chor Shing Chit, who stood in front of the hardyhorse coach when Chan Shue Gun was coming for him.

Chor Shing Chit could turn away for his own safety back then without anything stopping him as Chan Shue Gun was only there for Chui Yim. But he didnt and instead protected Chui Yim from Chan Shue Gun.

He saved Chui Yims life.

Chui Yim was a person who valued comradeship, as he knew that with his character, it was hard for him to bond deeply with others. Friends to him were like brothers or sisters, like Hagrid from his past life and Lam Ming in this life.

The moment Chor Shing Chit stood in front of the coach to protect him, Chui Yim viewed him as a friend ever since.



Time flew by. Now, he was twelve years old, which meant he had lived in this strange world for twelve years. It was unknown when Chui Yim started to grow feelings for this world. Chui Tin, the mother whom he had never met, Lam Ming, Kiu Chi Gong, principal Bak Wun, Chor Shing Chit Such encounters in his life had forged many precious relationships.

How did you manage to do it? Chor Shing Chit spoke up suddenly, bringing Chui Yim back to reality.

Huh?

Chor Shing Chit was staring at Chui Yim weirdly. As a member of the Chor Clan, he was exposed to numerous kinds of talents, including himself. In the South, it was considered shocking for a person to reach his third chamber by thirty. However, Chui Yim far more than that.

Im not asking you how you know the Spiral Dragon set I mean, Im curious about that too, but I have other things Im dying to know even more. I heard everything from Principal Bak Wun. You tattooed the gliph using a mineral? Do you know why the North and South arent on good terms? Chor Shing Chit asked with a complicated look.

Chui Yim barely nodded. It was hard for him to perform even this action. Ive read the Start of the Continents Separation. Chor Shing Chit was slightly shocked by this. He never thought that a casual boy like Chui Yim would read such a book. However, the previous surprises he got from Chui Yim caused him to be almost immune to the shocks brought now.

Yes. The Southerners care about nature a lot and believe that gliphism is a gift from the heavens such that we need to use the items of nature, gliphic plants, when we tattoo a gliph. Northerners believe gliphism is made for battles, and gliphic beasts should be used to tattoo gliphs instead.

However, while the parts and organs of a gliphic beast are important, they also have to use the gliphic beasts heart blood as a primer, which means that the gliphic beast needs to be killed.

And this is seen as violating the rules of the heavens for us Southerners, and therefore we strongly oppose it. Chor Shing Chit nodded, wearing a grave expression. But to the Northerners who become more expressive or should I say violent, have a distinct difference over their preferences and call Southerners hypocrites, sissies and much more. They disdain us. The conflict between both parties escalated over time. After a battle lasting more than hundreds of years, it turned into a situation that can no longer be salvaged.

And the ingredients used to tattoo gliphs is the origin of this conflict, Chor Shing Chit said, staring at Chui Yim. Do you know how large of an impact this will be if the fact that minerals can be used to tattoo gliphs is announced?

Chui Yim wanted to shrug at this, but he couldnt do it, so he casually replied. Youre overthinking. Gliphic plants can be used to tattoo gliphs because they are of natural origin and gentle nature. Pairing with different gliphs, it works like magic. Similar to minerals. Where do you think theyre from? Chui Yim continued. The mineral I used for you is called the frost dragon rock. Legend has it that it is transformed from the gliphic beast, the windy frost dragons faeces.

With that, Chui Yim watched Chor Shing Chits expression change from his poker face with interest.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))
