Night of the Broken Gliph

Chapter 313

Siu Suet reached out her left hand and placed three fingers on the bowstring lightly.

As she drew the bowstring backwards, the Gale Stride gliph on her right arm lit up. A formless wind-attributed energliph arrow appearing suddenly. Siu Suet breathed slowly and released the arrow.

Buzz! It was as if she fired a mini tornado!

Fantastic! Chau Ling clapped in admiration. I didnt expect Miss Siu to utilise the Siu Clans renowned swordsmanship in your archery. What is this gliphility called?

Siu Suet was surprised that Chau Ling could understand her gliphility so easily, increasing her respect for Chau Ling. Great master is indeed sharp. I call this gliphility Snow Splatter.

Snow SplatterA snow-like arrow shooting through the air, making the surrounding snow splatter. What a fitting name. Chau Ling replied as he slowly digested the names meaning.

Thank you great master for the praise. Siu Suet replied respectfully.

Okay, I already have an idea on what gliph weapon to make. Chau Ling waved his hands and turned to Chui Yim, only to realise he had been looking at him.

Can we start? Chui Yim immediately asked. He wasnt a fan of Chau Lings theatrics.

On the other hand, Chau Ling thought that Chui Yim was trying to play it cool. We can start anytime.

Okay, then lets begin. Chui Yim looked around, spotting a fire-forging stove. Mind if I use that?

Chau Ling might be a grass-refiner, but he still had other related tools, similar to other blacksmiths.

Whatever. Chau Ling replied nonchalantly as he grabbed a stalk of bamboo. This aroused Siu Suets curiosity, but it wasnt appropriate for her to ask him about the gliph weapon now. The next instant, Chau Ling sliced the bamboo into half with his hands. An unknown liquid emerged from the bamboo together with a thin, long plant that resembled a fungus. Realising that both Siu Suet and Chau Cheung were watching him closely, he smiled.

The Siu clans Gale Stride gliph and Miss Sius gliphility are both wind-attributed. Ill make use of this gliphic plant, the wind chimes that I nurtured in this ordinary-looking bamboo with a unique concoction of other herbs to increase its sensitivity to wind-attributed energy.

With that, Chau Ling tied the fungus together with several other odd gliphic plants that Siu Suet and Chau Cheung couldnt recognise. They only knew that watching Chau Ling at work was an oddly beautiful sight. 

Gliphic plants were important ingredients for grass-refiners. They could use, change or deepen their various characteristics for many purposes. Thus, their every move seemed to connect with the gliphic plant. This was what grass-refiners called connection, connecting with the gliphic plant as implied! They would only be recognised as a great master if they could connect with gliphic plants!

Just as Chau Cheung and Siu Suet were obsessed with Chau Ling, they suddenly heard a loud noise from behind! They both looked over subconsciously to realise that Chui Yim was hammering something!

Unlike Chau Ling, Chui Yims forging process was much more direct. Chau Ling only spared him a glance before turning back to his work. As time passed, a bow slowly appeared in Chau Lings hand, greatly exciting Siu Suet

A quality gliph weapon was extremely important for a glipher. A good gliph weapon would increase the gliphers strength, and Siu Suet was here due to the upcoming interschool exchange! She had heard that this generation of Cloud Palace students was the best in over a century, and she wasnt arrogant enough to think she would easily win. Therefore, she came here for a customised gliph weapon to improve her strength as this was the fastest way to do so.

Just then, she felt an energliph wave coming from behind her. She and Chau Cheung couldnt help but turn around again to realise that Chui Yim was carving a gliph with energliph congealed on his fingertips.

Even though Chui Yim was already in the one-chambered state, Chui Yim still wasnt used to the normal method of carving gliphs, choosing to use the method he was most familiar with.

Buzz

Chau Ling had only completed two-thirds of his work when Chui Yim finished.

Here, give it a try. Chui Yim handed Siu Suet the bow. The latter frowned and took the bow. It was dark green with weird and irregular curves. Siu Suet would never believe it was a bow without its bowstring and grip.

However, she was shocked when she felt the bow.

BzzzThe Gale Stride gliph on her right arm lit up instantly as energliph was inserted into the bow. Her energliph spiralled around the bow like a tornado, creating a scene that amazed her!

Siu Suet felt the great chemistry between her and the bow. It was as if it was part of her body, fully customised according to her; her hands and fingers fitted the bow perfectly! She couldnt understand how the unknown gliph carved on the weapon was so compatible with her! Even though she had yet to try the weapon, Siu Suet realised that it allowed her energliph to move three times faster than before!

The speed of energliph movement was directly proportional to the activation speed of a gliphility! To Siu Suet, a long-distance archer, the speed of her attack directly correlated to her strength! It was a major factor of her power.

She couldnt care less about Chau Lings work anymore as she was fully attracted to the bow in her hands. Swimming in excitement. Siu Suet grabbed the bow and adopted a firing stance.

BuzzAn energliph arrow appeared immediately and with a whoosh, a fist-sized tornado shot out rapidly towards the puppet. Siu Suet could clearly feel her energliph and loosed additional arrows in succession.

Szz!

Even Siu Suet was stunned by what she saw. The puppet with the ability to resist any attack below the four-chambered state currently had a huge dent in its chest caused by her arrows!
