Chapter 1135: I am...

Ryu looked toward the Dao Lord's Inheritance for a long while, seemingly thinking about something. His actions almost made this so-called race to the finish line a joke. He had claimed one inheritance, meditated on it, cultivated in it, then gone to claim a second inheritance, and the formerly first place individual was only barely showing signs now of succeeding in his first. 

Ryu sent a glance toward Starlight just as it seemed he was about to succeed and stepped forward. 

At first, Ryu had thought about waiting for Starlight and moving forward at the same time. He wanted to see what would happen if he chose to do so for reasons he had personally. But in the end, he chose to move ahead first. 

At this moment, although they would likely only be a few seconds apart, it couldn't possibly be clearer who was in first place.
