Chapter 541 |
The teenager did a great job masking himself. In the eyes of others, he was knocked unconscious, but not Chui Yim, a glipher who had great senses. Gliphers might be weaker than gliphists in this area, but with energliph, Chui Yim could still tell that the teen was holding his breath, breathing slowly to not attract the attention of other participants.
The other nineteen participants fought hard with robust skills, those with lower capability were eliminated earlier while it became a long-lasting fight for those of the same level. After all, they were all in the one-chambered state; no matter how fancy their skills were, they wouldn’t be that powerful.
When only four participants were left, they heaved a sigh of relief and stopped the fight as the rule was to make it into the top four to pass.
One of the teenagers let loose a smile. He was the weakest among the four and would be the first to be eliminated if the round continued.
Just then, the slender teen that Chui Yim took notice of pounced on the weakest teen among the four.
“What on earth is Stupid Fai doing!?”
“He was playing dead to pass the assessment! How dare he use such lowly tricks!?”
The teenager named Stupid Fai looked completely serious as he sent out a punch. Even the weak teenager was taken aback, but when he saw the soft attack, he wore a malicious smile.
The other three participants furrowed their brows. “Chan Bun, settle this embarrassing trash quickly. Important figures are watching.”
Chan Bun was the weakest among the four participants. Being the weakest, he dared not go against their orders as none of them would give up their spot for Stupid Fai. Thus, it should be Chan Bun to take action.
“Stupid Fai, I’ll give you one last chance; give up of your own accord or get hurt.” Chan Bun sneered. He was only eleven years old and still looked childish while the fourteen-year-old Stupid Fai looked mature and only stared at Chan Bun emotionlessly.
“Who’s that kid?” Chui Yim asked out of the blue, leaving Hung Tin Ming surprised. This was the first time the seventh teacher, who ignored him throughout, spoke! “Seventh teacher, he’s Man Fai, a quite well-known kid in this city,” he replied after some hesitation.
“His mother sent him to martial arts school at nine years old, but he never managed to break through and even passing was tough for him. He only broke through his first chamber at fourteen years old, but there isn’t much potential left for him.
“He transferred schools every year, and this is his fifth school. This kid never gives in to destiny, cultivating in the morning and working part-time at inns at night to earn his school fees.
“Even I couldn’t bear it and tried to take him in as a worker or doorman, but he rejected.” Hung Tin Ming shook his head since he found the kid to be too stubborn.
Chui Yim looked at Kam Chin Kee silently. The other reacted slightly slower than Chui Yim, but currently, he wore a serious expression. “That’s impossible, right?”
“I am sure.”
Kam Chin Kee was in disbelief, but he trusted Chui Yim’s senses. Since he only took notice of Man Fai at a much later time, he could not deduce as much as Chui Yim did since the other noticed from the start due to his gaze.
Bang! Another punch landed on Man Fai’s face, nearly breaking his nose. He dropped to the ground, painting the wooden floor with his blood.
“Man Fai, just surrender!” His fellow spectating schoolmates who couldn’t bear to watch shouted.
“You’ll die if this goes on!”
Man Fai remained silent as he focused on the fight.
This angered Chan Bun, since he was starting to feel tired and he could not make out why he had to waste time on a piece of trash. Just before he made a deadly attack, he was forcefully stopped. “Stop.”
Chui Yim stood up and walked toward Man Fai, leaving even Hung Tin Ming confused. He did not understand why such an untalented person would catch the seventh teacher’s attention.
Chui Yim walked towards Man Fai who was still focusing on Chan Bun. “Why aren’t you giving up? It’s obvious that you’ll lose,” Chui Yim asked.
But Man Fai did not even spare him a look as he had his gaze locked on Chan Bun.
“As long as I do not give up, I will be part of this world. But I will no longer belong if I give up.”
The crowd was not moved by his words. If this was by Chui Yim, Kam Chin Kee, or any other elite, it would become a famous quote. Now that it was from a trash who only broke through his innate chamber at age fourteen, it became an arrogant saying from him. However, they failed to notice the admiration in Chui Yim’s eyes.
“You wish to beat him? I can teach you how.”
Man Fai only turned to Chui Yim now, but rather than acting crazily like the others towards the seventh teacher, he only asked for teaching calmly. “How?”
Chui Yim brought Man Fai to a corner, whispering while making signs with his hands. He was so soft that those who wished to eavesdrop could not.
“Does Brother Chui have his eyes on this kid?” Suen San Kuk couldn’t help but ask Kam Chin Kee softly. “He’s too untalented, though.”
“Weren’t you mocked when you picked up martial arts in Southern Ping?” Kam Chin Kee returned him a smile. “It doesn’t matter where a hero comes from.
“Besides, he’s not untalented.”
“Do you remember?” Chui Yim asked.
Man Fai nodded. “Yes,” he replied with hesitation.
“Just go with it.” Chui Yim patted him. “Go, and win this fight. I will be told to reflect for three months at the cliff by my great senior brother if you lose after my coaching as seventh teacher.”
With that, Man Fai walked out to face Chan Bun once again. Unlike previously where Chan Bun stared at him with disdain, his eyes were currently swimming with jealousy and anger.
Why does such trash have the right to receive coaching from the seventh teacher? Why!?
This time around, he went all out, his right arm chamber shining as a ball of light went for Man Fai. This was Flowing Light Punch.
This was not Chan Bun’s self-created gliphility, but the gliphility taught at Daybreak Martial Arts School. Not everyone was so talented that they could create their own gliphility or gliph at a young age after all.
He sent the punch at Man Fai, the latter’s face shining brightly under the light.
However, Man Fai counterattacked quickly. It was obvious that he remembered this move by heart, and no matter what Chan Bun did, whether gliphility or coming in for a short-range attack, he would have used this move.
