[Bonus] Laugh

[Bonus chapters thanks to Chronotitan <3 3 6]< p>

It wasn't until a long while later that Ryu managed to get up. It had been a long while since he was so injured, which was saying something considering he had just been through a Throne Challenge. 

He had never been so thoroughly unable to do a thing. He was sure that there were much lower level Sky Gods capable of doing much the same to him, but this still felt different. 

No one had ever been able to make him feel a thing purely based on their cultivation level. That gaze… it held a completely different sort of weight. He could imagine what might have happened had the Phoenix Sky God actually looked at him. 

Just from that nonchalance, Ryu was also fairly certain that he wasn't part of some grand master plan the Phoenix Sky God had.
