Grand Ancestral Bloodlines

Chapter 628 Harder

Chapter 628 Harder

The Unda Clan youth sneered in Ryu's direction when he saw the situation. However, seeing that Ryu didn't spare him a glance, he only seemed to grow more enraged.

He could tell that this was the first trial they would have to go through. Though not many were aware why it was that Overseers had picked out representatives like this, what they did know was that it was important and there were many prizes to be gained for their efforts.

This was all to say that this wasn't just any trial, but it was one they most definitely needed to pass. As a result, he thought that since he had so clearly challenged Ryu earlier that it would be clear that their competition would start here. Yet, who could have thought that Ryu wouldn't spare him a glance at all?

Clearly, he didn't see the irony in placing this trial on a pedestal while simultaneously putting so much energy toward something that was hardly related to it at all. But, maybe even if he had seen this irony, the young Unda Clan member would still do so nonetheless.

Who wouldn't want to get into the good graces of a World Sea Realm expert? Not everyone could casually ignore World Sea Realm experts as though they were worth nothing much like Ryu did.

To put matters into proper perspective, World Sea Realm experts were the absolute pinnacle of strength beneath the Sky God Realm. Understanding this, how could their standing be low?

Just when the young man wanted to say something though, the arrival of Ryu actually began to cause a small commotion.

…

Tybalt's eyes flashed with a peculiar light when his gaze landed on Ryu. The latter seemed to have been cut off from the world. He saw nothing, heard nothing… It was as though everything was beneath his notice.

Tybalt was the very same young man who had instigated Arteur—the Lower Dao Pedestal Realm expert of the Scarlet Sparrow Clan—into fighting Ryu just a few days ago.

To Ryu, who had gone through a lot since then, it felt like a lifetime ago. But, to Tybalt who had practically just personally witnessed Ryu's power, it might as well have just happened a few seconds ago.

Considering his personality, he had amassed quite the number of friends. If not for this, how could he, a genius of the Heaven's Dew Branch, still be out here while most of his cohort had long since found their places within the castle?

The truth was that the Overseers weren't allowed to choose other Martial Gods for the chance this presented. So, most of those outside waiting for their chance to challenge the curtain of wind were talents of other prestigious families, many of which were cozying up to Tybalt.

Of course, it couldn't be said that anyone who wasn't a Martial God was beneath them. Arteur, for example, interacted with Tybalt like an equal would. However, the same couldn't be said for the others.

As a result of this, there were many paying attention to Tybalt's every expression, so when it was seen that he had such a reaction while looking toward Ryu, many looked over as well.

"Tybalt, he is…?"

"Oh," Tybalt shook his head, "that's the guy that took Little Sister Isemeine's first time."

Tybalt played it off like a harmless joke. To him, Isemeine was, indeed, a little sister. After all, he was millions of years old while Isemeine was barely over a thousand. However, his words made the men around him grow ravenous.

The Martial Gods didn't have strict rules on who their men and women could or couldn't have relations with due to the benefits of synergizing their Bloodline with others. It wasn't a surprise then that there were many beauties these members of other Clans had their eyes on, among which Isemeine was definitely near the top along with her half sister, Zenavey.

It took just this single sentence for several auras to lock onto Ryu, every one of them watching his every move. Sparks of indifference, jealousy and disdain rose to an over feverish pitch.

"Hold on, something's weird here. That guy…"

"What is it, Rafsin?"

"What did you say his name was, Tybalt?"

"Oh, um I think he said his name was Ryu Tor."

"It really is him! You guys know a few days ago the Ice Devil Legacy World opened up, right? They say there was this Ryu guy who kill some genius from the Blossom Plane and entered the Legacy World without speaking to anyone."

"The Ice Devil Legacy World? Wasn't that a really important event? Even my parents were talking about it…"

It was clearly an odd occurrence for so many to care about an Immortal Ring Realm Inheritance. This was most definitely a unique case.

"Wait, doesn't that mean?"

They all came to the same realization at once. Ryu was in the Immortal Ring Realm?!

Overseer Eudo, who had more than good enough hearing to overhear such things, looked over in shock. He knew well what sort of combat prowess Ryu had displayed. Never could he have ever expected that Ryu would actually be in the Immortal Ring Realm!

Tybalt, who hadn't been paying much attention to those things, was shocked into silence as well. It read all over his face.

However, those who had no idea what happened between Arteur and Ryu reacted very much differently, especially the young man of the Unda Clan, Avenos.

"The Immortal Ring Realm? I don't want to say too much about your choice, Eudo. But, if you really don't care about this opportunity, shouldn't you give your Overseer position to someone else? Don't you know how important these spots are?"

Overseer Nigellus was already dissatisfied with Ryu's attitude. But, now learning such a thing, he immediately pounced onto it. While others might not know how important this was, how could the Overseers themselves not be aware?

"You? With Isemeine?"

At that moment, a young man who hadn't spoken since the very beginning suddenly sent a gaze that felt like two piercing blades toward Ryu. Sparks of lightning fused with his blade qi, seemingly wanting to force Ryu to his knees with just a look.

'… Another traitor…'

Ryu, who had been ignoring everything until now, couldn't possibly ignore this. He was finding it harder and harder not to kill everyone here.
