“You can forge?” somebody asked.599Please respect copyright.PENANAvJ8UbTk3q7
Kam Chin Kee and Man Yee Ho were walking towards the workshop, and surprisingly, it was the quiet Man Yee Ho who spoke.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJidZmPwFEf
Even Kam Chin Kee was shocked.599Please respect copyright.PENANA0I6TNvL29y
Yeung Tin Hun and Man Yee Ho arrived about two months ago, and ever since then, Kam Chin Kee got Man Yee Ho to discuss gliphism with him. Through their discussion, Kam Chin Kee was amazed to learn that Man Yee Ho hadn't broken through his innate chamber yet and could already draw gliph strings with all his fingers at lightning speed that even Kam Chin Kee envied! 599Please respect copyright.PENANABDlQejNly8
Kam Chin Kee did not intend to teach Man Yee Ho his puppetry skills, but honestly, the teen boy was perfect to be a puppeteer and had brilliant skills that left Kam Chin Kee in awe; he had the capability of a peak single-gliphic gliphist despite not yet breaking through!599Please respect copyright.PENANAkDNKS3JZhc
Since Man Yee Ho was an introverted teenager with few words, Kam Chin Kee communicated with him by questioning him, to which Man Yee Ho would usually take a long pause to ponder before drawing a gliph as an answer.599Please respect copyright.PENANA84jB9g8MmH
As a large organization, Imperial Sunset Palace had its unique characteristics regarding the study of gliphism. Despite being the same field of study, it was adopted and taught differently in both the South and the North.599Please respect copyright.PENANAWj4q7iRGrU
Southerners viewed gliphism as a profound area of study whilst Northerners only cared about applying gliphism methods quickly and powerfully.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJLH1PH1cn5
The difference was mainly due to cultural differences; the South prioritized education while Northerners had to fight for survival. Thus, the latter would rather spend time improving their ability to defend themselves than to research an area of study.599Please respect copyright.PENANAP0evQgF3s9
Both methods were fine and had their pros.599Please respect copyright.PENANAAA3QNIyZyg
Southerners might be caught up with the theoretical parts, but they had a deeper understanding regarding gliphism compared to the North, who seemed to execute moves on the field better. Northerners were able to perform stronger attacks, but their lack of understanding could easily lead them to a bottleneck in the future.599Please respect copyright.PENANAMJW4MnWxVW
That was what happened when one only cared about moving forward without understanding an area fully.599Please respect copyright.PENANAFNTU9gL3O8
Only when one passed all obstacles would they realize that they were all valuable lessons and experiences.599Please respect copyright.PENANAo17eU2zRZd
As Kam Chin Kee and Man Yee Ho exchanged knowledge, they improved rapidly, and Kam Chin Kee admired the other more and more as time passed. He's such a genius!599Please respect copyright.PENANAmu2Zzywtao
599Please respect copyright.PENANAM875MEAOvz
Today after their long discussion, Kam Chin Kee suggested that both of them should take a walk to relax.599Please respect copyright.PENANA5upnP4pPbb
Surprised by the scene of Chui Yim and Yeung Tin Hun discussing peacefully, the duo decided to join them out of curiosity.599Please respect copyright.PENANAnQPOXRkb5k
“You can forge?” Man Yee Ho asked Chui Yim.
Chui Yim turned to Kam Chin Kee oddly. Well, if a very introverted person started a conversation out of nowhere, anyone would be weirded out. “Yeah, I’m currently at the great master state. Why? Is there something you want me to make? But aren't you a gliphist?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAkjXkl8Ynv6
“Mhmm…” Man Yee Ho took a long pause, as if trying to search for the appropriate words to express his feelings. “I'm… kind of special.”599Please respect copyright.PENANA3tFgAY3P0s
Chui Yim nearly vomited blood after anticipating Man Yee Ho's words after such a long pause and being met with that.599Please respect copyright.PENANAtUu9a1FU2V
On the other hand, Yeung Tin Hun obviously understood him.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJvq1hphv2R
“He's… kind of like both a glipher and gliphist? Not just a gliphist.” Yeung Tin Hun explained roughly, and Chui Yim did not probe further as he respected the other's privacy. Everyone has their secrets, just like me. I'm also both a glipher and gliphist, but Man Yee Ho’s main path is gliphist while mine is glipher.599Please respect copyright.PENANAqCRtsOxSfc
“So what do you wish to forge?”599Please respect copyright.PENANAnZYXpgRaUc
Just like previously, Man Yee Ho took a long time to ponder and only answered when Chui Yim started losing his patience. “Anything.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAeDYVWYQMVx
Exasperated, Chui Yim turned to Yeung Tin Hun for his explanation, which the other did immediately.599Please respect copyright.PENANAoFOMqesXKs
“He can use any weapon. Blade, spear, staff… anything’s fine. But he needs a huge amount.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAOcslcH0MIU
“Huge? How much is huge?” Chui Yim was slightly taken aback.599Please respect copyright.PENANARuZLaTlUV5
“Humongous,” Man Yee Ho answered seriously. “An extremely huge amount.”
599Please respect copyright.PENANAASAl1aqLU5

Night fell.599Please respect copyright.PENANAFWt1Iq3gXb
The night sky today was like a serenade of black with only a few touches of glowing stars to light up the world.599Please respect copyright.PENANAWG4j40lwwg
In the workshop was a gorgeous teen girl. Her clean white robe was currently sprawled on the ground, revealing her smooth white shoulders that made Chui Yim’s heart race despite not being his first time seeing them.599Please respect copyright.PENANARwOAtGBHa1
Every time, Chui Yim would forcefully calm down by reminding himself “Are you a beast?! She's just a little girl!”, but he forgot that he was technically thirteen years old too.599Please respect copyright.PENANAGQX1DQc1fr
The treatment was smoother than expected.599Please respect copyright.PENANAgxOeuZ8ENF
Despite the energy dissociation worsening as Mung Si's cultivation increased, Chui Yim's Heaven's Flame heart was powerful. It devoured everything, and even the fierce dissociation energy couldn’t harm his body.599Please respect copyright.PENANAtSvnig0nZr
Chui Yim even gained a greater understanding regarding his body.599Please respect copyright.PENANAJbltq0BXGb
After the inter-school competition, he learnt from Lee Bak about the Nine-Tailed Fox gliph poison of the Wai-Chi Clan. The poison was obviously useless against him, which reminded him of the corpse poison and chilly energy of Yellow Spring Lady that entered his body in Southern Ping that similarly had no effect on him. Chui Yim inferred that it should be his heart that could deal with these poisons.599Please respect copyright.PENANAw2VrYPy7gJ
Thus, Chui Yim gained confidence in hunting down the dissociation energy and was currently hunting it down on large scale without injuring Mung Si.599Please respect copyright.PENANAmmWlG6xq40
About two months later, the dissociation energy in Mung Si's body had decreased by half.599Please respect copyright.PENANAaQ4prg7Wo0
Chui Yim sat cross-legged and spoke after a pause. “We're at the last lap. The dissociation energy in you is terrifying, it even sort of has a mind of its own just like the blood spectres in the Metallic Blood Giant Tower. There's no intelligence, but there’s a survival instinct.599Please respect copyright.PENANAG3L9d9Wea1
“Under my strong treatment, you will feel a huge decrease in your dissociation energy.”599Please respect copyright.PENANAGMuDIHz9F3
Mung Si, back facing him, nodded slightly.599Please respect copyright.PENANAPWS1VHegba
During these two months, Mung Si clearly felt that the condition that was always bothering her, especially the uncomfortable feeling during noon, had decreased greatly. Mung Si was over the moon to be freed from it despite it resulting in her combat capability devolving. However, she was able to cultivate better.599Please respect copyright.PENANAi9cZdZloVk
“But because it has this instinct, it was able to identify that it might be eliminated if the treatment continues. Organs are differently attributed, and the heart is fire attributed, which is the same as the dissociation energy. Thus, it subconsciously hid near your heart chamber to survive on the slight amount of energy it could absorb.599Please respect copyright.PENANAukQbkrUUnp
“Which makes this complicated,” Chui Yim said after a short pause. “If we stop treatment, the condition might worsen again by absorbing the energliph you cultivate since it’s hidden near the heart chamber.599Please respect copyright.PENANAQy8ENmriLA
“But if we do a full treatment, it will be dangerous because I’ll have to bring my energliph deep into your heart chamber to totally eliminate it, and any carelessness on my part might cost you your life.”599Please respect copyright.PENANABZJhuZFc4S
Chui Yim was very honest. He was an avid learner, and after learning from Chui Tin, he was very honest about the diagnosis. “The decision lies with you.”
