Ryu's figure vanished out of sight, leaving the youths below in a state of shock and even rage. Those that had been laughing previously had difficulty even breathing at this moment.
Among the crowd, the First Brother of the Three Pupil Eclipse Sect watched on expressionlessly, his face tinged with a small bit of red. However, the large mat of sweat that blended into his violet robes on his back painted a completely different picture.
From beginning to end, Ryu had hardly spared them a glance. Even before his advancement, he didn't believe they were a threat to him. As things stood now, they were even more insignificant.
First Brother swept his gaze away, pausing on Sarriel and Niel for a moment. In the end, he focused on his own matters, choosing to remain silent as he trudged forward, his eyes sparkling with a stoic determination.
