Rogryll's frown only deepened. He began to feel that something was wrong. It was one thing to pause on the first step for so long, but it was another thing entirely to have been stuck for so long, and to have such outward and visible pain. He could even see the blood leaking from between Ryu's lips.

Things weren't adding up. If his Dao Heart was truly this weak, then after experiencing this level of pain, he should have already given up long ago. But if his Dao Heart was strong, he shouldn't be struggling this much in the first place.

Nothing seemed to be making any sense. However, he was the only one thinking this deeply about the matter.
