Miyagi Ryoyu entered the pond, and everyone immediately closed their mouths, watching him intently.
Nobody dared to breathe loudly. Instead, they watched Miyagi Ryoyu with caution, and the entire space seemed to have plunged into complete silence, making everyone start to feel tense.
Miyagi Ryoyu slowly made his way forward, one step, two steps! With every move, he was extremely cautious; although he was walking in water, remarkably, he did not make a sound.
It merely caused small ripples in the water, the noise of which was almost negligible.
Not even as loud as the sound of water droplets falling from the stalactites.
After seeing Miyagi Ryoyu’s concealment skills, everyone felt amazed as he continued to move.
He was very careful and very slow. Even though it was just a distance of sixty-five steps, it took Miyagi Ryoyu two minutes to move just ten steps.
Within the cave, time and space seemed to have stopped, and everyone fell quiet.
Ye Feng had no choice but to watch Miyagi Ryoyu. Since Miyagi Ryoyu was going to fetch it, it saved him the trouble of doing it himself.
This was a good opportunity for Ye Feng to temporarily conceal his strength, as Luoying was unaware of Ye Feng’s true capabilities at the moment.
Even though Luoying knew he had become the head of the Martial Arts Club and had taken control of West Street, the Flame Envoy, who had been monitoring his actions, had already sided with Ye Feng.
Although they knew of Ye Feng’s abilities, the Flame Envoy did not report Ye Feng’s true powers to Luoying; it was naturally best if Ye Feng could keep his strength hidden for now.
Once Miyagi Ryoyu obtained the Undying Flower, Ye Feng would find an opportunity to kill Miyagi Ryoyu and seize the Undying Flower. After all, they were in the Underground Forest, where Ye Feng feared nothing.
Moreover, Miyagi Ryoyu had long wanted to kill Ye Feng, so Ye Feng wouldn’t feel any pressure in killing him.
Quickly, another two minutes passed, and Miyagi Ryoyu moved another ten steps. The Undying Bird had not noticed Miyagi Ryoyu’s approach at all.
Miyagi Ryoyu was getting closer and closer to the Undying Flower, and time was passing rapidly.
Thirty steps... Forty steps... Fifty steps... Sixty steps...
Finally, Miyagi Ryoyu reached the Undying Flower, placed his hand on it, and then yanked it out forcefully.
However, the Undying Bird had not realized that its treasure had been taken.
The Undying Bird was still sleeping, and everyone held their breaths. Seeing Miyagi Ryoyu successfully pluck the Undying Flower, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
Now, it was just a matter of returning. Although Miyagi Ryoyu had successfully obtained the Undying Flower, he was still extremely cautious, carefully making his way back to the pond.
Miyagi Ryoyu walked back step by step, even more carefully than when he had gone forward.
Time continued to elapse, and soon, twelve minutes had passed. Now, Miyagi Ryoyu was about to leave the pond, and everyone was incredibly excited. They had not expected Miyagi Ryoyu to be able to silently steal the Undying Flower right from under the strange bird’s nose. Such stealth skills surprised everyone.
If Miyagi Ryoyu were tasked with an assassination, he might have a chance to succeed even against someone more powerful than those with Innate Perfection.
Although there were only five more steps to go before leaving the pond, he remained extremely careful. It seemed he was not new to such activities; he knew he always needed to be cautious, no matter what.
Miyagi Ryoyu slowly made his way to the edge of the pond and, finally, after a minute had passed,
he successfully left the pond and had taken the Undying Flower right from under the strange bird’s nose!
Everyone was extremely excited. They had not expected Miyagi Ryoyu to be so formidable, to take the Undying Flower right from the Undying Bird without it noticing, earning everyone’s immense admiration.
Feeling the admiring gazes of the crowd, Miyagi Ryoyu’s lips slightly curled upwards, and a look of pride flashed in his eyes. He thoroughly enjoyed the immense admiration from everyone and felt very pleased.
Then, Miyagi Ryoyu’s gaze shifted to Asuka Hana. He revealed a warm and tender smile, making one feel refreshed, and walked over to Asuka Hana.
Miyagi Ryoyu looked at Asuka Hana, bowed like a gentleman, and then said, "Miss Asuka Hana, I did it, I brought back the Three-colored Flower for you!"
Asuka Hana nodded, reluctantly compelled to acknowledge Miyagi Ryoyu’s skills as his stealth had indeed enabled him to bring back the Undying Flower from right beside the Undying Bird.
Asuka Hana thought to herself that if it had been her, the Undying Bird would have probably discovered her long ago.
"Thank you for your efforts," said Asuka Hana.
Miyagi Ryoyu smiled slightly, "Not at all, for you, such a small matter is nothing."
Then, Miyagi Ryoyu held out the Undying Flower to Asuka Hana and said, "Miss Asuka Hana, as I said before, only someone as beautiful as you deserves such a beautiful thing. I said that if I got the Three-colored Flower, I would give it to you. As I’ve already promised, I will certainly do it. This Three-colored Flower is for you!"
"What!" Everyone looked at Miyagi Ryoyu in surprise, not expecting him to give the Undying Flower to Asuka Hana.
Even though they did not know exactly what use the Undying Flower had, a simple guess made it obvious that it was a valuable treasure not easily obtained.
If it were to be auctioned, it would certainly fetch a high price; Miyagi Ryoyu had just risked his life to get it. Yet now, Miyagi Ryoyu was saying he wanted to give it to Asuka Hana.
This unexpected gesture left everyone quite surprised, even Asuka Hana herself looking at Miyagi Ryoyu in disbelief. "Miyagi Ryoyu, are you sure you want to give it to me?"
