Chapter 684: Pillars of Light

Ryu exhaled a slow breath, but his fluid movements didn't stop. 

The cognitive dissonance in this mind seemed to only be growing fiercer as his movements became more perfectly timed and accurate. By the end of the first section, he was moving before the pattern even completely formed, reacting instantly to its changes and manipulating his staff accordingly. 

Just like that, the last pattern was complete and the first platform flickered, a ray of light shooting up into the skies. 

BANG!

Ryu let the weight drop from the end of his staff, shaking his head, unsatisfied. He didn't seem to care about the rays of light shooting into the skies even those Surf was reacting as though he had seen a ghost. 

"This… You… This…"

The only way to get the platform to react like this was if Ryu was both at or below the Path Extinction Realm, and had defeated the proficiency record of not just this city, but all of them.
