章 540: Madman (1)

Ryu stood before Zenavey, his demeanor indifferent. It was almost impossible to tell that the place at which he stood should have been difficult to reach. Zenavey herself forgot that she should have been coordinating this round. In fact, she almost forgot that there were even others participating at all. 

Even as Ryu stood at the top of the stairs, dozens more geniuses were still struggling their way upward. The contrast was almost pathetic to an extreme. How could the difference be so large? If it wasn't for the fact Ryu didn't have the markers of someone within the Path Extinction Realm, Zenavey would feel that he had somehow cheated the system. 

They had purposely set up this challenge to be almost impossible for absolute geniuses at the Half-Step Path Extinction Realm. The reason why the likes of Isemeine and Zenavey were sent here was precisely because they had already stepped over this threshold.
