Heavenly Dao Child

Ryuu let out a soft sigh as he looked at the group of contraptions in front of him, contraptions that were not limited to simple blades, or guillotine or pendulum blades but arrows, fire, wind not to mention the walls themselves were moving.

Ryan watched them for a minute before he shook visibly with his head down making the others worried for him as Frost Flames spoke to him with concern laced in her tone, "Ryuu are you alright? You are shaking."

Ryuu raised his head as a big smile appeared on his face as he spoke with a burst of deranged laughter, "Finally finally I get to be a real-life Persian Prince, and finally, I can fulfil my long-cherished wish, muahahaha."

True-Spear took a step back as he spoke with a slight shake of his voice, "Sisters please slowly take a step away from him as I think he has finally cracked."

His words brought immediate retort courtesy of Ryuu, "Who has finally cracked, I am alright."

Frozen Ocean raised one of her elegant brows as she spoke, "Is that so? But you insane laughter and spouting about some Prince says otherwise after all, in essence, you are already a prince."

Ryuu blushed a healthy shade of red from Frozen Ocean's words as he spoke with a cough, "Well it was a story that I had heard a long time ago my childhood favourite and I always wanted to experience it, and seeing the trap ahead of us just reminded me of it."

True-Spear rolled his eyes as he spoke, "So will do the honours then."

Ryan sighed as he spoke, "Seems like it.", he then let go of both Frozen Ocean and Frost Flames who immediately sat down leaning on the wall, while Su-Min was laid by their side with the help of True-Spear.

Ryuu then looked at the others who had decided to follow their example, while he could easily spot the looks of tiredness and hopelessness in some of their faces making him sigh inwardly, 'This is mentally and physically draining us to the maximum, the pangs of hunger and the scorching thirst are becoming unbearable and with no sign of retreat we have to push forward, even if one of us manages to conquer this level we would be safe.'

With that thought in mind, Ryuu began to do some stretches to make his muscle more limber as everyone watched him, some with interest while others with a bored look on their faces.

A few minutes later Ryuu stood tall as he spoke with a smirk, "Well then I am off."

Frost Flames frowned as she spoke, "Please take care and try not to overdo."

Ryuu simply flashed Frost Flames a smile before he took a deep breath to calm himself down and focusing on the task ahead.

He watched as a few footholds appeared then returned to the wall he watched it intently to get the rhythm and once he was sure he began with a running start.

The first foothold was almost inside the wall when Ryuu had reached it, his left feet touched it barely but it was enough to propel him forward and soon he reached the eight and the last foothold which was about to reach its maximum length, but he could not stop there just barely enough to plot a path so as not to lose the momentum be began to move.

Jumping on to a nearby wall just a few inches of a serious of saw-tooth blades waiting to cut him up, he managed to run up on the wall for a few distances before jumping towards another ledge on the opposite direction then diving and swinging using the beam as a pendulum blade missed his head by a couple of centimetres.

Meanwhile, True-Spear could not help let out a whistle of appreciation as he spoke with a look of complete resolution on his face, "I was right he evolved to human from some monkey species."

Only to be greeted by a small rock hitting his head as Zywia spoke, "Shut up, he is human through and through, though now I am curious about what kind of training his teachers had made him do to make him so agile not to mention his movements is it some kind of technique or skill."

"Actually, no I do not believe it is some kind of technique or skill per se."

Zywia looked towards Frozen Ocean as she spoke in a curious tone, "Why is not?"

"It does not use any KI."

Frost Flames shook her head as she spoke, "Just because it does not use any KI, calling it not a skill or technique is wrong to think about Senior Brother Severing Saber's miraculous technique of Hibernation, it does not require KI, not to mention I confirmed from Ryuu that this is indeed a movement skill, though again in a way you are right there are many cultivators who believe that a skill that does not require KI should not be called a skill."

They watched Ryuu dodged a hail of arrows by twisting and turning in the air before he disappeared from their sight because of a bend.

Frost Flames looked at his disappearing figure she spoke with a melancholic look on her face, "I hope he will be safe."

Zywia offered her a weak smile as she spoke, "Do not worry he will be safe, I have complete belief in his abilities."

Meanwhile, Ryuu ducked as a stream of fire went over his head before jumped as a large spiked mace went passed under him.

'Don't look down, don't look down.', he chanted in his head and the reason for that was simple if he fails he would have to take a straight dive into the dark depths and if he was not wrong he spotted a pair of eyes looking at him from the abyss and he was in no hurry to meet the owner of the said eyes.

He jumped from a beam he had recently landed only to have a mouthful of some poisonous substance that made him sneeze, causing him to falter momentarily but he managed to land safely only for the stair that he had landed to fall, as such he jumped to next as stair which copied the earlier stair.

If the owner of the tomb were present he would have had a heart attack seeing Ryuu move through the poisonous cloud as if it was nothing after all the poison was a potent one, strong enough that if it were anyone else other than him they would have succ.u.mbed and true to his words the owner did not wish to have some weak people inherit his skills but even then he would not have thought someone would have such high poison resistance that they would bypass it with a sneeze.

Though the case would have been different with Ryuu who had just entered Eden, if he had come in contact with the poison he would have suffered extreme stomach ache and severe diarrhoea, when others would have died, the high poison resistance he had gained from his various encounter had rescued him from such a fate.

As Ryuu ran he could feel his muscles scream in agony as his lungs burned whereas his throat screamed for some water.

'What kind of insane sadistic maniac would put such conditions, even my teachers were not so brutal I am so hungry, yosh I have decided not to leave my house for a few decades so that I can feat on my teachers delicious cooking.'

An unholy fire lit up in his eyes as screamed out loud, "My Second Mistress's food here I come.", with that battle cry he doubled his speed gritting his teeth as he moved forward.

Meanwhile, back with Frost Flames and others, the sudden shout jolted them from their respective sitting position as many looked towards Ryuu's direction with a look of alarm on their face only for their attention to be drawn towards Zywia who had broken down in a fit of laughter.

True-Spear's brow furrowed as he spoke, "Is something wrong Zywia?"

"Wrong nothing is wrong it is just the glutton king has awakened inside Ryuu again."

"Glutton king?"

Zywia looked towards the cultivator who had spoken in a questioning tone as she replied, "He loves eating too much, as such I was referring him as glutton king."

Frost Flames snorted at her words as she spoke, "Please calling him King of Glutton is doing him an injustice, during that part held in our honour I could hardly identify only a couple of dozen food item but he on the other hand not only could identify them, he even knew their ingredients."

True-Spear simply sent a teasing smirk towards his sister as he spoke, "Please sis, anyone can be better than you who cannot tell the difference between sugar and salt."

Frost Flames growled as she spoke with anger bleeding into her voice, "You are lucky that I do not have enough energy to even move otherwise I would have turned you into a paste."
