The Divine Bracelet of Five Elements was known for its massive storage space and gliph weapon nurturing effects. But things were different for Chui Yim who observed that gliphic plants and treasures could also be nurtured in the bracelet. When he placed the Thirty-six Lunar Needles into the bracelet, the needles flickered at a faster speed, and there were even energliph movements sensed from it.888Please respect copyright.PENANAfuvNSxY07j
Indeed a divine bracelet! To be honest, this might be the most expensive item on me now!888Please respect copyright.PENANAGwZoapriS1
The thought of this made Chui Yim dump everything into the bracelet after sorting them out, even the cauldron Ping Chi gave him. Since it had such an enormous storage space, why not use it fully?

After fully researching the bracelet, Chui Yim walked out of the room to be greeted by the aroma of food and a surprise guest. His guest remained as calm as ever, but only Chui Yim’s appearance could make him lose his cool. “Brother Chui!”888Please respect copyright.PENANAqMcA2eTE0v
Chui Yim laughed. He knew what he was here for. “What brings you here?”888Please respect copyright.PENANAUshVURIOc5
“He” was none other than Lee Bak, who visited yesterday. Currently, awkwardness washed over his face as he was at a loss for words.888Please respect copyright.PENANAN9LlXeHFeB
Seeing this, Chui Yim stopped teasing Lee Bak. “You’re here for the gliph weapon, am I right?”888Please respect copyright.PENANAWuHcTs47rt
Lee Bak nodded. “Brother Chui, the shield you forged today…”888Please respect copyright.PENANAxRsJ8sXNTx
“Of course, it’s yours. Why else would I forge a shield for nothing!”888Please respect copyright.PENANA66NAlFBioq
Lee Bak was on cloud nine to hear that from Chui Yim. The incident during the interschool exchange proved the shield’s strength. Chui Yim waved his left hand and the shield appeared in his hands soundlessly. The bracelet didn’t even light up when used! “I have yet to make a handle because I haven’t measured your arm length, but I will adjust the handle as you grow.”888Please respect copyright.PENANAhkrMHKtaZF
“It’s a pity that it’s just slightly too big.” Lee Bak said subconsciously as he held the shield fondly. The shield Lee Bak was currently using only had a diameter of fifty centimetres, and it was very light, enabling Lee Bak to use it for many purposes.888Please respect copyright.PENANAyuqQisayng
Chui Yim immediately turned to Kam Chin-Kee and laughed weirdly when he heard Lee Bak’s comment. This made Kam Chin Kee shudder, and he nearly dropped the food in his chopsticks. “Why are you looking at me?” 888Please respect copyright.PENANAyIakCfTCCk
Ignoring his question, Chui Yim turned back to Lee Bak. “I thought of that as well.”888Please respect copyright.PENANAGFm4ET6Ibf
With that, he took back the shield and turned it around. “Do you see this?”
Lee Bak moved closer to realise the subtle seams behind it. “Yes, they are…” Without speaking much, Chui Yim adjusted the shield extremely quickly.
“Watch.”888Please respect copyright.PENANAU4poMW5BjT
Plop plop plop…888Please respect copyright.PENANAp54vuy85Zv
The diamond-shaped shield transformed into one-fifth of its original size, and in the middle was the Rebound gliph. Kam Chin Kee was taken aback at this. “A mechanism?”888Please respect copyright.PENANAxF1syPyVuC
Chui Yim had been helping Kam Chin-Kee create new puppets these past few months, and he had learnt plenty about mechanisms from the other. To Kam Chin-Kee, these were the foundational skill in making puppets but a new technique to upgrade gliph weapons for Chui Yim.888Please respect copyright.PENANAgkWBNZH3hD
“The shield looks like it’s one whole, but it can shrink through its hidden mechanism. Simply put, you can think of this weapon as having two forms.”888Please respect copyright.PENANAOa3cuFlVU5
“Forms?” Lee Bak looked normal, but he was very confused now.888Please respect copyright.PENANAYy1epBkYPI
Chui Yim nodded, “I call this the focused mode,” He waved the shield in his hands. “With one of the gliphs as its core, the benefit of this mode is that you can activate the gliph without any energliph. When we add other gliphs in the future, besides this core gliph, the effects of the other gliphs will decrease by thirty per cent.”888Please respect copyright.PENANAhLgjUiD61S
Chui Yim suddenly waved the shield as a plop was heard!888Please respect copyright.PENANACQ8UXIcAxj
The sound of the mechanism rang out. “This is the normal mode, acting as an ordinary gliph weapon. To use the gliph to its fullest, you will need to exert your energliph. When I received Yau Suet Chung’s attack, I changed the shield to its focus mode, but it was too fast for many to catch. But even if they did, they wouldn’t connect the dots and think of the mechanism behind it.888Please respect copyright.PENANAaG6lLgmuJQ
“Continuous improvements and development are what makes a blacksmith. Over the past few months, I gained new ideas of using mechanisms in gliph weapons.” With that, Chui Yim turned to Kam Chin-Kee and struck a victory pose. Kam Chin Kee and Lee Bak only realised now that the seemingly perfect diamond-shaped shield Chui Yim was playing with was made of five triangular shields instead. 888Please respect copyright.PENANAUkA9DEafCL
“Matchless. The only word to describe your skills!” Lee Bak gasped.888Please respect copyright.PENANA7HCO9z33Y3
Chui Yim handed Lee Bak the weapon. “Since this was a gliph weapon I did my best to forge; you’ll be the one naming it.”
Lee Bak was thrilled to hear this. It was already known that Chui Yim’s naming sense was extremely ‘unique’, and his New Rich series was still infamous.888Please respect copyright.PENANAgGNaC4zQ4o
“Because of its matchless defensive strength, let’s call it the Matchless Guardian.”888Please respect copyright.PENANA6nUceWcrN7
“A shield that is matchless in its functions?” Chui Yim nodded in satisfaction. “Not bad.” 888Please respect copyright.PENANA9oUFyOJdK3
“I’ve given it to you in advance; don’t you dare use it against us for the group competition! Or else I’ll never upgrade it for you!” Chui Yim warned Lee Bak.888Please respect copyright.PENANAYc397Sp5MX
“Haha, I’ll leave first since it’s late.” Lee Bak laughed as he nodded. He obviously couldn’t wait to test his shield.888Please respect copyright.PENANAHHGftKz3xc
“Alright. Remember to pay me!”888Please respect copyright.PENANANeMPIeTcZN
After Lee Bak left, Kam Chin Kee couldn’t help but gasp. “You really saved a lot of money by using ingredients from the Blacksmith Academy, huh?”888Please respect copyright.PENANAjR3uSA9pd1
“That’s only possible because I’m capable!” Chui Yim laughed.888Please respect copyright.PENANASLykFGwY5e
Watching from the side, Yeung Chun could undoubtedly tell how powerful the Matchless Guardian was with his state; that weapon could defeat another weapon with a higher grade! He couldn’t help but ask. “Brother Chui, my nephew’s a glipher too, and he’s pretty talented too! Can you forge him a gliph weapon in future too?”888Please respect copyright.PENANArPIjSNByiI
“Of course!” Chui Yim patted his chest. “Brother Yeung’s nephew is my nephew too. It will be on me!”888Please respect copyright.PENANAhT4wDqzbpX
Poor Yeung Tin Hin still doesn’t know that he had unfortunately become a teenage boy’s nephew…

Day three of the interschool exchange. The alchemy competition.888Please respect copyright.PENANAqlhJc4jbKz
There were more spectators today compared to the day before, not because of the importance of this field but because the process was more interesting compared to forging. If not for Chui Yim putting everything he had into forging, even utilising the Nine Levels of Fire Mark, the competition would’ve definitely been less interesting than alchemy.888Please respect copyright.PENANANytjAuRQel
Furthermore, it was indeed a more important field than forging to some.
