Chapter 375 - Being Nincompoop (Part-1) (1/2)

Pain pain was all Ryuu knew, to him it felt as if someone was tearing his flesh, his skin grounding his bones and organs to paste, while time seemed to have slowed down entirely he never felt so much pain like that before his entire body seemed to be on fire, he could no longer scream from the pain as his blood dripped from his mouth courtesy of the torn vocal chords from screaming, he simply wanted it to end.

Zywia gave a fake smile to Su-Min as she nodded at her only for Su-Min playfully punch her as she spoke with a scowl on her face, ”Where is your mind wandering off to? I am speaking with for some time now and all could do is nod like a doll.”

Zywia gave a sheepish smile as she cursed herself inwardly before she spoke with a smile, ”Nothing I was just thinking what kind of danger we will face.”

Her words made everyone within hearing range wince at that as Su-Min spoke with a sigh, ”I know it will be difficult and our esteemed friend so wants to conquer the 15th floor, I doubt it would be possible, you know what is after the 5th floor, and Ryuu wants to reach the 15th floor he surely is ambitious.”

Zywia winced at that, 'He may be ambitious but is forced to unlike us he does not have the luxury of giving up he is forced to continue as means to prolong his life, compared to us he is still a child, he has already lost a part of his life and now he knows he would not live more than 5 years it is so cruel.'

”But where is he, I have not seen him since yesterday Sister Zywia you are his friend so do you know where brother Ryuu is I have not seen him since the siege.”

Zywia stiffened at the question only for Frozen Ocean speak with an irritation in her voice, ”Leave him he shouted about some form of enlightenment he had received upon seeing the working of the array and is now busy with it.”

Snickers were heard as well as muttering about an array nut or what not.

”You know …”, one of the fellow cultivator known as Daoist Calming River spoke with frown on his face as his words captured the attention of others, ”From what I have seen I am inclined to believe that Daoist Ryuu is a 'savant'.”

At that many furrowed their brows only to be dismissed vehemently by Amnon as he spoke with a snort, ”No I do not believe he is a 'savant', after all a savant is unparalleled in only one direction and in rest he is trash so I do not believe he is a savant.”

Calming River frowned before he nodded with a sigh, ”You are right fellow Daoist brother you are right.”

Frost Flames sighed before she spoke in a cold tone, ”Well we all will be moving to the next level soon I think we should all male preparations for it.”

As most of the people dispersed and were out of reach, Zywia quickly pulled a talisman which she activated, an action that was not unnoticed by both Su-Min and Frozen Ocean though Daniella and her husband Amnon were a bit distracted to catch its activation as such they were caught off guard, seeing them alarmed Zywia quickly spoke, ”Sorry for activating the array, do not worry about it as it only prevents someone from eavesdropping on us.”

Upon hearing that all of them frowned, as Su-Min spoke, ”Is there something wrong?”

Zywia nodded as she continued, ”I was having a chat with Ryuu when he spotted a bug on me which was being used by someone to spy on me as such I would like to warn you that someone is actively engaging in eavesdropping on us as such please be careful whoever the person might be might have an ulterior motive.”

The others eyes widen at that as Su-Min spoke with barely concealed anger in her voice, ”Do you know who is trying to eavesdrop on us?”

Zywia's shoulder slouched at her question before she spoke with a sigh, ”No I do not know but the person is using array and was able to plant it on me without myself noticing it so please be careful now on.”

Other nodded at that as Daniella spoke with a frown, ”So where is Ryuu really?”

Frozen Ocean looked at her as she spoke, ”Well as I said before he received some enlightenment and is now working on it.”
