Ryu's body shook and quaked. However, his expression remained steady and unmoved.
A strength that seemed to pervade his very being took root, blazing a trail of white throughout his body.
The moment his Spiritual Foundation reconnected with him, Ryu could subconsciously tell that he didn't need to complete anymore Severings. The fusion was a level of perfection he had never experienced in his life before.
Ryu didn't fight back as the white flames surged into his meridians. A calmness pervaded his very soul as it danced with his Chaos Qi.
The two energies didn't seem to reject each other. It didn't feel that they had the same origin, in fact, they couldn't have felt anymore different. Rather, it was like they had a mutual respect, a nod of acceptance for two beings that shared a level of strength and power others could only dream of.
The two intertwined, racing along the outline of Ryu's Immortal Rings one after another.
