ROAR! RUMBLE!

The air quaked and shook, the surrounding wind spiraling into a tornado of vibrating qi that built up momentum with every ten-meter gap it jumped across.

Ryu's arrow accelerated even after it left his bow, every echoing roar seeming to grab more qi from the surroundings, fueling the arrow further and strengthening it.

The instant the roaring arrow entered the range of the sky of azure fire arrows, it swallowed them whole, fusing the two into a single blazing meteor.

Galemar stood with his eyes wide open, his expression frozen.

A heated trench of flames and whip-like marks of wind were left. It stretched for over 10 kilometers, had a width of over ten meters and a depth at its deepest of at least five.

Galemar, or what was left of him, stood at the start of the trench. Everything above his belly button was eviscerated to ash. His legs stood entrenched in the ground, his hips carrying with them to carve off the arrow's path.

The silence was palpable.

Not only had Ryu just used two Dao Charm techniques, he had even fused them into one perfectly and seamlessly. And just now, they were certain of it… That [Roaring Sky Serpent] was used… To Great Success!



What these fools didn't know was that let alone his [Roaring Sky Serpent], even his [Thirteen Soaring Azures] was at Great Success. In fact, he had mastered the first six forms completely.

There were thirteen forms in total. Six Fire Azure and six Ice Azure. They alternated in power until they fused into one at the thirteenth step to become the true Soaring Azures.

They were Singe, Chill, Burn, Cool, Scorch, Frigid, Blaze, Frost, Inferno, and Snow, in that order. However after meditating upon them all, Ryu had come to understand that they were merely baby steps. The only reason he cared to use Singe first instead of going straight to Inferno or Snow was to conserve power and so that his Dao Charm fusion would work.

The reality was that he wasn't at Great Success at all. He had reached Complete Success in both. However, unless he tweaked the power output, the fusion would fail and there would be little point to the attack.

Ryu didn't need to go so far as to display such a thing just to kill a mere Galemar. The reason he had done it was purely to display his talent. He might not be able to display his Bloodlines or his Soul or his Bone Structure and Meridians, but he would never hesitate to display his comprehension abilities.

Ryu wasn't a fool, he knew how much power and influence Jenneless likely wielded to dare do what she had done. However, this was ultimately a disciple recruitment event. There would always come a certain point where the potential of a talent would outweigh any worries over internal disputes. Things would often truly be that simple.

'Hm…?'

Ryu's head turned and he found a small strand of silvery qi lurking about. Very quickly, that strand turned into a small ball, then a large sphere, before taking the shape of a human and ejecting out from it to form a naked and handsome young man with silver hair and sharp blue eyes. However, right at this moment, this young man was quite pale.

"Oh?"

Ryu had never actually seen this young man's face before, but he instantly recognized him to be Galemar. It turned out that Galemar had actually managed to survive his blow through some strange means.





The True Martial World was truly fascinating. Ryu had never seen such a thing before, and because he hadn't been looking for it, his Spiritual Sense hadn't picked up on exactly how Galemar had done it.

The expressions of the Radiant Star Sect elders, though, all changed at once.

"WHO DARED?!"

Elder Aika went from calmly observing these matters while dealing with the waves in her heart that Ryu had caused to becoming incomparably furious.

That technique just now, was none other than one of their Radiant Star Sect's pinnacle cultivation methods, methods that would only be passed down to select Core Disciple and Inheritance disciples. Every single Elder that had access to them now had to have had at least that much talent when they were a youth.

They all knew that the real reason Galemar had come to their Radiant Star Sect despite being a member of the Iunae Clan, a Two Star Clan supposedly stronger than their own Sect, was to get his hands on these cultivation methods and their pairing techniques. This was always done with the intention so that he could bring these back to his Iunae Clan as a form of merit and securing his position as the future heir.

However, how could the elders not see through this? So despite allowing Iunae to join, they never allowed him to learn any of these methods and gave him far harsher tests than they would usually, tests that he had never been able to pass because they weren't designed for him to pass in the first place.

Galemar likely knew this, but so what if he did? He had already ridden atop their heads for long enough to become a Core Disciple, could they possibly allow him to continue to do so?

And yet, just now, he had used one of their core techniques, one branching from the [Eternal Starlight] cultivation methods.

The cultivation method wasn't entirely important for now, but what was important was that this cultivation method was known for its endurance and its defense. Likewise, the techniques that matched with it were known for bolstering these two.

The most powerful life saving method was known as [Starlight Escape]. It allowed one to infuse the essence of their bodies into a bundle of star energy to escape at the fragile barrier between life and death.

Not only was this capable of saving your life at a crucial moment, but it was incomparably mighty for escape.

Now that such a technique had ended up in the hands of an outsider, how could Elder Aika not be furious?
