However, Man Chin Hung’s journey to becoming a gliphist was not to be omitted from this.391Please respect copyright.PENANAmEFeqHK8nK
Born to poverty, Man Chin Hung spent her childhood sewing for a living, struggling to make ends meet. She, who had an innate wind chamber, did not even dare to dream of having a famous master to guide her.391Please respect copyright.PENANA4AjSY2fUWX
Things only took a turn when she broke through her innate chamber at the age of twenty-two. During her breakthrough, there were unusual weather phenomena that caught the attention of the previous Imperial Sunset Palace emperor living nearby. Afterwards, he took Man Chin Hung as his direct disciple.
It might’ve been due to her tough childhood, but her cultivation journey was abnormally smooth. Other than cultivating the divine style from Imperial Sunset Palace, Imperial Heaven Pure Sun, there wasn’t even a trace of the sect seen in her personal gliph.391Please respect copyright.PENANAEx7DSkzMoN
Thus, she might’ve been the Imperial Sunset Palace empress, but she didn’t pick up any powerful skills from the sect. In other words, she, not the sect, paved her own way.391Please respect copyright.PENANAgZMFdyHhPy
Therefore, that was how she taught Man Yee Ho. She only strengthened his foundation, physical strength, and speed of drawing gliphs but spoke nothing about how to build his own personal gliph.391Please respect copyright.PENANAruCB25AH1h
She knew that Man Yee Ho was an extremely talented teen, one who even surpassed her because of how he could get out of her Thousand Miles Layered Yarn gliph at a young age.391Please respect copyright.PENANAkwweu7e46t
Man Chin Hung was looking forward to what a world-shocking personal gliph her disciple would create.

When Man Yee Ho exited the classroom, he received many unhappy stares. The Southern clan leaders were unhappy with how he took so much time, and adding on the fact that he was a Northerner, it increased their unhappiness with him. However, this did not bother Man Yee Ho, who was expressionless as if he did not care as he returned to Yeung Tin Hun.391Please respect copyright.PENANA0ObGXWuHgR
Lam Zaa knew it was his turn, thus he stepped out of the crowd.391Please respect copyright.PENANAFX5zmHaIHe
“All the best, Siu Zaa.” Lam Chi said calmly from his seat, wearing a gentle expression.391Please respect copyright.PENANA86JvTy0M0G
This was weird for Lam Zaa, but he nodded in reply nonetheless. He couldn’t be blamed, since by the time he was old enough, Lam Chi had already been sent to guard a remote city at the end of the South called Southary.391Please respect copyright.PENANAV6lvUrrzuA
On Kuet and Woo Hung were feeling awkward too, since they expected to make it to the Cloud Trials even if they didn’t end up getting selected, but the last thing they expected was to come across the stage named Cleanse.391Please respect copyright.PENANAaqOZg8ey1l
Ranked seventh on the Blue Skies Rank, On Kuet was way stronger than the world perceived him. Yet, the Kirin Arm he inherited from his clan was the factor that got him eliminated.391Please respect copyright.PENANAJg4oBUtyHT
The Kirin Arm was a fierce body form that came with strong power that was difficult for a child to control. From a young age, On Kuet had to consume different pills and g-food to get it under control, but this was also the factor that caused him to look older than his age. Only when he broke through his innate chamber was he able to learn to keep this power under control.391Please respect copyright.PENANAzY9cufF3O7
Therefore, he was disqualified at Hui Sai Cheong’s stage, but this did not upset him much as he was one of the first to feel the benefits of it.391Please respect copyright.PENANA8vtTL5YYva
“All the best, Your Highness!”391Please respect copyright.PENANAoloffyu1MW
Lam Zaa nodded towards him and Woo Hung before scanning the other Cloud Trials participants. With that, he made his way into the classroom.

Lam Zaa stepped into the room.391Please respect copyright.PENANAnL9NI1f3Ve
He did not feel much seeing the now empty classroom that was once filled with tables and chairs.391Please respect copyright.PENANAxHnEpGMaet
He patted his jade, and a table appeared in the classroom with a white piece of paper sitting on top.391Please respect copyright.PENANAygg8V0kBnM
It was an ordinary paper with a calligraphy set sitting next to it.391Please respect copyright.PENANA4LambM0z7g
“Oh? He’s going to write, Senior Brother,” Third Teacher Hui Sai Cheong said. “Isn’t this what Great Senior Brother is best at?”391Please respect copyright.PENANAHCh1NtxJ5L
Sung Tsz Hin only responded with a thin smile. He might be lowkey, but some things about him were still known to the world.391Please respect copyright.PENANAvk3JB6Kvyj
For example, the widely-known signboard of grass-refining grandmaster Choh Hang Sang’s Straw Hut. Even those who didn’t understand gliphism could feel its powerful aura.391Please respect copyright.PENANARRi55xoskv
Was this kid now going to write in front of First Teacher?391Please respect copyright.PENANAYBjVN7Rw0i
This was no different from displaying one's incompetence before a connoisseur!391Please respect copyright.PENANAesUyJr69qi
To the Cloud Palace members, they did not care about the crown prince’s status. They did not care about worldly affairs, so status was nothing to them.

Lam Zaa picked up his pen while slowly regulating his breathing.
He was feeling nervous, which was a rare sight.391Please respect copyright.PENANAIMacp1jCCC
Well, it might’ve been because he practiced every night for years just for today. He studied the different calligraphy styles of famous calligraphists and even had the rare calligraphy by First Teacher in his Almighty Hall.391Please respect copyright.PENANAjVN1iXujL1
It was difficult to not be nervous when he had prepared so long just for today.391Please respect copyright.PENANAGa6vWVBbq4
With a deep breath and determination, he started writing.391Please respect copyright.PENANAcq1AB19xTf
Whoosh…391Please respect copyright.PENANAG1vU7xiUBw
He wrote at a quick speed as the sound of his brush coming in contact with the paper filled the room.391Please respect copyright.PENANAQfFhPZq1sX
Every one of his strokes was perfect.391Please respect copyright.PENANANovdneMuJi
“Not bad.” Wong Kei, who was no longer bewitched by Man Yee Ho, sighed. His words were true; despite Lam Zaa’s young age, his words were filled with a style unique to him, and his characteristics were all clearly shown through his words.391Please respect copyright.PENANAjvt7JNthvF
The elderly normally said that a person’s character and behaviour could be deduced from their handwriting, and surprisingly, it was based on facts.391Please respect copyright.PENANAQneY99fqX9
For example, Man Yee Ho and Yeung Tin Hun were obviously unprepared for the Cloud Trials. Their answers only casually showed their strengths, but not who they truly were.391Please respect copyright.PENANAtMISCrNeBn
However, Lam Zaa clearly wrote “himself” out on the paper!391Please respect copyright.PENANAtU0elyKXDO
His brush was like a sword fighting in the world of plain paper.391Please respect copyright.PENANAlbAuo7OSo9
When his brush landed, it was as if the sword was fully unsheathed, showing its full strength. When he lifted his pen, he sheathed the sword and kept its shine.391Please respect copyright.PENANAoTtCoUjoyK
Lam Zaa cupped his fist as a sign of respect and left the room with his calligraphy set, leaving only the table and paper behind.391Please respect copyright.PENANAB7XfTV5d8z
Sung Tsz Hin reached out for Lam Zaa’s work.391Please respect copyright.PENANAo6473wR4mk
His fingers landed on the painting and he moved his fingers apart. The world in the painting then landed on his hands. This unreal change would leave any other shell-shocked.391Please respect copyright.PENANAGDNf5QJnlu
There was only one word clearly written on the paper. It was written so hard that ink was seeping through it. From just this one word, they could see Lam Zaa’s proficiency towards the control of his brush as well as how well he controlled his energliph. However, these were not the only factors that they considered.391Please respect copyright.PENANA0Ibm87f0ue
“Senior Brother, how is it?” Hui Sai Cheong, who understood nothing about calligraphy, couldn’t help but ask when he saw Sung Tsz Hin was deep in thought.391Please respect copyright.PENANAjYZ3qEcrTi
“Erm… Let’s take another look later,” Sung Tsz Hin said after some thought.391Please respect copyright.PENANAFSPjTkROEq
Because the next candidate had already entered.

“All the best, Kam boy!” Chui Yim cheered for him, and the crowd couldn’t help but take a few more glances at him; more specifically, a few more glances at the horrifying wound on his chest that he gained from helping Mung Si block the dragon’s attack. Chui Yim had stopped it from bleeding with precious pills, and adding on his powerful body, it seemed to have completely healed.391Please respect copyright.PENANASuoj4JH93k
Chui Yim ignored his wound and cheered for Kam Chin Kee, who only gave him a smile.
