Chapter 402: Runes

Liluo wanted to move, but the instant he did, his shoulder dug into the sharp blades of Ryu's Great Swordstaffs. 

"Hand it over." Ryu said plainly. 

Amie, Grim and Dru stood outside the formation, their eyes widened in shock. Was Ryu's Body Realm cultivation really so exaggerated? To be able to deal with such an existence with absolute ease? 

The truth was that Liluo was indeed a joke to Ryu. 

For one, the root of an Immortal Ring expert's strength was their Immortal Ring. The more powerful they were, the greater their foundation, the larger their Immortal Ring would be and the larger area of ambient qi they could gather to strengthen themselves. 

Previously, before his breakthrough, Ryu could control at most a quarter meter radius of atmospheric qi. After his breakthrough, it had risen to about one meters worth. These might sound like small numbers, but the truth was that this alone allowed his strength to rise exponentially.
