Bed of Ice
Ryu felt like slapping his forehead. Now that he thought about it, it made too much sense.
When he fought those Hidden Blade Sect Working Disciples, they had only seemed to be interested in his Meridians despite the fact it should have been obvious he had many other talents as well. Even if they couldn't' recognize his Bloodlines, they should have been able to tell that he had a powerful one or ones.
Yet, they seemed deadset on his Chaotic Silk Meridians. Why was that?
Maybe the answer was right in front of him all along. All of Ryu's other Talents, aside from his Soul, required copious amounts of resources to bring to their full potential. And, obviously, his Dao couldn't just be transferred from one person to another. However, his Chaotic Silk Meridians could not only be transferred through special processes, they were a resource in and of themselves!
After realizing all of this, Ryu settled down and exhaled a breath.
