Ryu's heart shook.
Was it his Spiritual Foundation? He wasn't sure. All he knew was that this feeling he was experiencing now was identical to what he felt when he reconnected with his Phoenix Sky God Spiritual Foundation. He might not have even felt this way had he not experienced losing his Spiritual Foundation once.
But what didn't make sense about this was the fact Ryu should have had a Spiritual Foundation… it was just that it was a False one.
A False Spiritual Foundation didn't equate to an empty dantian. Rather, a False Spiritual Foundation was simply one that failed to awaken, nothing more, nothing less. When Ryu passed the trial of the Phoenix Sky God, his False Spiritual Foundation was replaced.
This was all to say that if this really was Ryu's Spiritual Foundation, then wouldn't that mean he had not two attached to himself… but three? His False Spiritual Foundation, his Phoenix Spiritual Foundation, and this mysterious one…?
