With the wooden badge in hand, Chui Yim entered the canteen with his nose in the air and got himself two first-class als; they were free, after all.
However, after taking a bite, Chui Yim couldnt help but frown.
This is such an average taste.
It might be a first-class al, but its still horrible compared to that mans cooking.
Hah Chui Yim sighed. A phrase that he had heard in his past life suddenly ca to mind: The way to a mans heart is through his stomach.
I can really relate to that now! Theres nothing I can do since even the first-class al tastes so bad.
Chui Yim sighed and finished both als. The food might not have been tasty, but he needed plenty of food and nutrition since he was still growing. Thanks to Chui Tin who always prepared his als after his training sessions, he grew taller than others his age.
Thus, Chui Yim licked both plates clean despite the taste for the benefit of his body.
The next day.
Chui Yim walked into the class to be welcod with many praises and greetings, many people trying to curry favour with him. The awkward stares previously directed at him were nowhere to be seen. But to the classs dismay, Chui Yim turned a blind eye to everyone like he did yesterday and went straight to his seat arrogantly. This angered the class, but they dared not do anything after rembering Chor Shing Chits words yesterday.
All of you, sit down. Chor Shing Chit walked into the class slowly.
After yesterdays introduction, Chor Shing Chit didnt even bother pretending to be nice. He just acted like himself, simple and straightforward.
He even skipped the greetings and went straight to the class. Today, Ill be teaching you about Gliphism. But only the basics.
When Chor Shing Chit started his lesson, everyone perked up their ears. Everyone knew that this was an important lesson since Chor Shing Chit was teaching about Gliphism. Even if they didnt eventually beco a glipher or gliphist, it would help them find jobs in the future.
I ntioned yesterday gliphers and gliphists are different. Gliphers focus on their body, while gliphists focus on their mind.
Thus, a gliphist does not need to train their body, but their mind instead. Other than that, a gliphists needs vast knowledge of various gliphs, Chor Shing Chit said as he picked up a chalk.
When he stopped drawing, there was a weird pattern on the blackboard.
This stirred up the class, as they knew they might be looking at a gliph.
Chui Yim studied the gliph closely. He didnt recognise it as one of the gliphs Chui Tim drew for him.
But it didnt stop Chui Yim from guessing the gliphs ability, as it was slightly similar to the Extre Wind gliph that Chui Yim once saw, but the Extre Wind gliph was way more complicated than this.
This is the Light Wind gliph, Chor Shing Chit said. Its a common and basic gliph. Many gliphers without any background choose this gliph.
What makes gliphs complicated is that when they are tattooed at a different location or on a different chamber, they will give a different effect.
Chor Shing Chit was serious with teaching the children. Even though it might be beyond their comprehension, he still had to do his best.
Most people choose to tattoo the Light Wind gliph on their leg chambers to increase their movent speed. He raised his right hand and pointed at his right palm with his left finger. Let give you an example.
If the gliph is carved on the palm of a glipher who excels in palm techniques, the Light Wind gliph will allow him to make long-range wind attacks.
But if its tattooed on the forearm, it will facilitate ones forearm movent.
If the gliph is tattooed in between the fingers, one can even launch attacks powerful enough to bore a hole through golden travertine.
The sa gliph can perform many different functions. However, this is still only the One chamber rank. If the glipher is of a higher rank, hed be able to coordinate the gliphs on his different chambers to produce different effects or perform different skills.
A gliphist needs to know all of this.
Thats why I ntioned that a gliphist is one in a million. However, thats actually on the upper side. In reality, there might not even be one gliphist in ten million people.
Chui Yim was taken aback by all the information. Why is this so confusing?
As for the part about using energliph to create gliphs in the air for attacks, you can only do that after you understand gliphs very well. Ill stop here so you all wont bite off more than you chew.
Chor Shing Chit scanned the class. Being a gliphist is difficult. You might be powerful and needed by many gliphers, but you are still too weak physically to protect yourself and will require many gliphers for protection.
To be honest, unless youre gifted, I dont recomnd anyone here to beco a gliphist. Theres too much to learn. If any of you here were ant to beco a gliphist, youd have started learning about it at four or five; and learning how to draw them by now.
But this is just my opinion, not the schools. Ill observe your performances during these few years in school, and those who have the aptitude to beco a gliphist can move on to higher institutions, organisations or sects.
Hearing this, all the students took a deep breath.
Chor Shing Chit only briefly talked about the job of a gliphist, but he had sent the ssage of how rare a gliphist was.
Sir, I have another question. Just then, a student raised his hand.
Chor Shing Chit raised an eyebrow. He looked over to realise that it was Chui Yim. Whats your question?
Why dont we beco both a glipher and gliphist at the sa ti? Is there anybody who has done so? Chui Yim stood up and asked.
Absurd! Hearing this, Chor Shing Chits face fell.
Do you realise what youre suggesting? He scolded, pointing at Chui Yim.
Both routes require one to sacrifice his life to master it! Do you know that in so sects or powerful organisations, any glipher students who have the aptitude to beco a gliphist will be punished heavily according to rules by his teacher if he expresses his will to do so?
Its a waste of ti and talent. You will end up with nothing.
Get this idea out of your head!
So students were scared by Chor Shing Chits scolding, while Chan Ngou Tin looked at Chui Yim with a mocking expression. However, he didnt see any reaction on Chui Yims face, and that ticked him off a little.
Oh, I see, Chui Yim said and sat down.
