Chapter 1736 Are You Okay?

Ryu hadn't even used any strength against that giant. He had found the battle to be nothing more than a joke. But it also awakened another thought in him.

Sometimes, the environment was just as important to a battle as the power and skills of the individuals. In the battle just now, it was more important than any other single factor.

This was something that he had always vaguely known, but it hadn't truly set in until just now.

He had used no abilities but his close combat against the giant. He had somewhat refined it to be in tune with this environment, but he wasn't satisfied yet. The fact that the giant was overwhelmed could only mean that he was too pathetic.

However, it was because the giant couldn't move with as much fluidity as it was used to that Ryu had been able to flicker around it like that even without his Spacetime Soul Nature.

Then Ryu used the fact waves traveled further in the water to amplify the resonance of his attacks.

The first few punches he had thrown were just probes, trying to understand the density of the giant's skin and how far the protections went inside of his body. After grasping that, he locked onto the frequency, controlling the strength and cadence of his fists to resonate with it.

Soon, not only did the giant's body become a cage, but so too did the surrounding water, echoing and amplifying the resonance.

In the outside world, it wouldn't have worked nearly so well because the waves would dissipate too well through the air. He would have to make an extra effort to attack even faster or else it would have fallen flat.

'Environment, environment...' It felt like another piece of his Dao was missing, but he was well aware of that as well.

His Dao was very good at targeting people and individuals, but for external matters, it was more difficult and more hit or miss.

He slotted this thought into the back of his mind and moved forward with an even greater speed as he began to understand more and more of the surrounding environment.

With a step, he appeared by Selheira's side and suddenly punched out, a cyclone of force drilling a vacuum of air through the dense waters.

Ryu didn't like the result. It still wasn't as perfect as what he wanted, but that didn't mean that it wasn't effective.

The tentacle flying toward Selheira shattered into pieces as Ryu suddenly grabbed downward.

A large amount of Primordial Water Chaotic Qi took shape and formed a palm that squeezed.

'Not that either,' Ryu frowned. This Rotten Sea didn't seem to have any Water Qi in it and his Primordial Water Chaos Qi was useless against it.

Even so, once again, that didn't mean it wasn't effective.

BANG!

The head of the beast shattered and the shimmering image of a blood-red crystal shard radiated out in the waters, illuminating the surroundings and allowing them a rare chance to see the environment clearly.

Selheira had already known that it was Ryu. She could sense him just the same as he could. Though, her senses weren't nearly as sharp whether by virtue of Ryu's talents or the fact it was her Primordial Yin that had been taken away and not the other way around.

There seemed to be a hint of guilt on her when she saw Ryu. He must have been rushing after her this entire time.

However, when the light illuminated the surroundings, all she saw was a caring expression without a hint of dissatisfaction.

"Are you okay?" Ryu asked, checking her body.

Selheira looked as though she was going to cry. Why was her mind like this? Why did she have to go even when she knew it was stupid? It was like she would rather die than lie down and take this loss.... Even though this "loss" was just a victory her husband had handed her.
