Earth Grade Talent

Ryu wrapped his Cloak around his naked torso before flashing out of his cave at blinding speeds.

While fully healthy, Ryu's speed could match an entre cultivation realm above his own. Since his body's strength was currently at the Higher Divine Vessel Realm, this meant that even Higher Connecting Heaven Realm experts would struggle to match him in a contest of speed.

However, that was only when he was able to circulate his qi to utilize [Gliding Cloud Steps]. The current Ryu could only match the speed of a Middle Connecting Heaven Realm expert who specializing it lightness type techniques.

Still, there was one more factor that was forgotten here. What limited Ryu's speed wasn't actually his physical limits, but rather his defensive and durability limits. It was simply too harmful to his body to go beyond that speed. It would only injure him.
