Chapter 1549 Trust
Ryu sat in silent meditation.n0velB1n
He was in part right to not like this method of dealing with enemies. He had spent so much of the last few months dealing with this matter that he hadn't had any time to cultivate at all. It felt like he had mostly wasted his time.
Of course, this wasn't true. At the very least, though his actions hadn't cut down the Raging Inferno and Azure Lightning Sects, what they had done was essentially resurrect the Radiant Star Sect.
Now, even if their techniques hadn't returned to their former peak, they weren't too far off. Their disciples should no longer be at a disadvantage when facing off against similarly powered experts. What was more important than any of that, of course, was Aika, Old Wan, and Samson.
There was no doubt that even with the return of their scattered branches, these three were still the absolute strongest experts of the Radiant Star Sect. In fact, they were existences that could technically make the Radiant Star Sect the strongest of all the Sects, albeit extremely top-heavy.
Two Dao Lords and a Dao Sovereign, each having just regained at least 90% of the strength they should have already had, if not more.
No other Sect had so many powerhouses. Even the Fading Star Sect only had a single Dao Lord and a single Dao Sovereign. As for the three under them, the Azure Lightning, Raging Inferno, and Stalwart Sun Sects, they only had a single Dao Lord each while the rest of their experts were below that level.
Of course, the Radiant Star Sect was still at a severe disadvantage, but this disadvantage came from foundation and the mid-tiers.
In a battle of super experts, the four Sects of the Seventh Heaven could easily occupy Aika, Old Wan, and Samson. Then it would become a battle of the lower-level Sky Gods.
Unfortunately, the Radiant Star Sect only had three Omniscient Sky Gods, that being Old Xu, Jiao, and Xiao. While, between the three Sects, there were probably at least two dozen, if not three.
lightsnοvεl The gap became worse as they descended down the rank.
There were a rare few that understood Faith better than himself. He knew what kind of task it would be to target this Throne, especially since he already had one.
Although his first Throne was absolutely useless to him on the True Martial World, it didn't change the fact it existed and the Radiant Star Sect would register it and, as such, increase the difficulty.
He felt that his eyes could do a lot of heavy lifting during the trial, but he couldn't be complacent.
Throne challenges were based on age, not cultivation. Ryu was already into his mid-twenties, and judging by the standards of the Eighth Heaven he possessed seen...
He had a lot of work towards do.
However, he possessed a cheat code for that.
Ryu's aura changed and he retreated into his body. Time warped and he sunk into a deeper and deeper State with Meditation.
...
In the far-off distance, Aika's gaze flickered with something peculiar. However, she reacted fast. With a wave with her hand, Ryu's living quarters were shrouded within a sheen of qi. Although that section of land remained there, it somehow also felt worlds away around the same.
At the same time, Aika couldn't help but smile. It was a sweet smile, a rare instance compared towards her usual roguish grin.
She felt that Ryu trusted her, and she liked that.
