Ryu didn't expect to be interrupted. It had been months since he had entered this round and those that he came across tended to steer well clear of him, even when he had this swirling pillar of Bronze, Silver and Gold around him.
However, up ahead, over 10 kilometers away, he could see a young man in black robes. This distance wasn't enough to tell if a person had come for you, at least by normal standards. But even at this distance, Ryu was quite certain.
His steps came to a stop and he continued to look ahead indifferently. He didn't seem to have any intention of closing the distance for this person, not that 10 kilometers was a large distance considering their cultivation realms. Even so, that didn't stop the black robed young man from being surprised.
