None The Wiser
Ryu's soul shot out of Ailsa's body. In that instant, his own collapsed in the real world.
He clutched his chest, his breathing shallow and extremely cold.
Even when he was a mortal, Ryu had never felt like this before. With his Ice Phoenix bloodline, even weather that could have killed a normal mortal was like a spring breeze to him. This only became more exaggerated after he began to truly train himself.
Whether it was his ingestion of yin blood or his practicing of the Ice Phoenix Martial Forms, each had made his bloodlines more and more robust.
On top of this, Ryu had even awakened his Ice Flame, making him even more impervious to the cold.
But at this moment, it felt as though his entire body was freezing. His blood slowed, the bumping of his heart reaching a state of lethargy. Every breath he took left a trail of icicles in its wake, almost turning his tongue into a solid block of frozen flesh.
