Chapter 463 - Tomb of the thousand armed asura (Part-3) (1/2)
Ryuu gritted his teeth as he looked at the large mountainside before looking back towards the collapsing ground, a familiar feeling arose in his heart upon seeing the mountainside, as a large smile formed on his face.
'I missed it so much, I loved freehand climbing, and it was so much fun, but even after my memories returned I never tried my hobby again.'
'I miss it the thrill, the rush of adrenaline, and now I will have it all and what better way to accomplish it either do or die situation, just the way it should be for a cultivator and I like it.'
”Ryuu you are smiling, why?”
Only after hearing Frost Flames' voice, as he brought out of his musings as he replied, ”Nothing it brought an old memory of mine,”, with that he looked back to the mountainside as he spoke, ”So we will have to climb upright, well it would be interesting.”
He then looked towards the other members of his groups as he spoke, ”Will you be able to climb or do you need any help.”
True-Spear frowned as he spoke, ”I think we will need all the help we can get, I doubt any of us have ever climbed a mountain like this.”
Ryuu nodded as he spoke, ”So true why do need to give undue pain to our hand and feet when can fly.”
Frozen Ocean meanwhile frowned for a moment before she cut gave a generous cut to her long skirt while quickly tying it in a manner to protect her modesty as other looked at her she rolled her eyes as she spoke, ”I doubt this long skirts will be extremely helpful while climbing so please quickly fix your dresses so that it might not cause a problem for you.”
As the other ladies in the immediate vicinity nodded quickly followed her example Ryuu meanwhile turned towards Frost Flames as he spoke with a frown, ”Love do you need me to carry you.”
Only for Frost Flames to give him a small smile as she spoke, ”Thank you for asking but no, I do not want any preferential treatment in comparison to others I still have my pride as a cultivator to protect.”
Ryuu simply gave her a small nod as he spoke, ”Then please stay as close to me as possible.”
Frost Flames nodded as Ryuu took of his the top of his robes exposing his torso before tying it at his waist and then he turned towards True-Spear as he spoke, ”Brother True-Spear I will be the lead, follow me strictly from what I can see the climb will be difficult not only that we do not have ropes to secure ourselves so be careful, remember you will be the last to climb if someone falls to try to catch him or her but no heroics.”, his fell on others as he continued, ”And remember to follow my path as exactly as possible and be fast.”
With his piece being said Ryuu looked up as he let out his breath his mind soon became empty as the sound surrounding him disappeared, he stood there momentarily as his group watched but unknown to them he was not only focusing but he was charting out a path in his mind.
Ryuu then lowered his head as others had already moved away from his path watching him closely, then they watched him begin with a running start as the others of his group followed after him, with a small leap he stepped on a part jutting out, and then using it as the jumping platform he moved even higher to catch hold to another part that was jutting, as he pulled himself with its help.
True-Spear looked at Ryuu who was moving incredibly fast as he jumping grabbing and latching to the rock pulling him fast as a look of awe dawned on many of the cultivator's faces as True-Spear could not help but remark out loud, ”Is he a spider or what?”
Meanwhile, Ryuu was a good few distances up when Severing Saber shouted out, ”Start climbing you lazy bones we do not have all day.”
His shout jolted everyone awake as they slowly began to climb up trying to copy Ryuu's climbing but it was difficult for them, not only were they inexperienced but they had no access to their KI making it extremely difficult for them but they push forward.
Amongst them those who were body cultivators they had a little less difficulty especially those whose cultivating techniques granted them a healthy dose of agility.
Frost Flames grunted as pulled herself up by holding on to a crack as Frozen Ocean spoke with a huff, ”Are you now feeling foolish for not accepting Ryuu's offer.”
”Very.”, she then let out a deep breath as she spoke, ”How is he moving like that? It seemed that he had prior experience with this, not to mention that smile on his face as if this was meant for him and he really enjoyed it greatly.”
”So you noticed it too, he was greatly excited upon receiving the challenge and now I can understand why.”, when all of a sudden Frozen Ocean's eyes widen as she shouted out in concern, ”What is he doing?!!”
Ryuu meanwhile had put some good distance away from them, he had reached a portion from were moving straight up would be difficult, as the part of him had jutted out quite a bit as of such he will have to cross it like a kid in a monkey bar, but before he would attempt that he deiced to rest as such finding the crack big enough he had inserted knees and was hanging from it.
