Why?

Ryu's aura suddenly settled down. It seemed as though it was finished, but it was only because of this that the reaction of the nine figures was the most shocked. 

If the breakthrough came with a great commotion, it would be one thing… it would be acceptable. But a breakthrough that was so silent, especially when they knew the kind of storm that must be raging through Ryu's body… 

It was like Ryu was relying on himself rather than the Heavens to evolve, and this was a level of breakthrough that could hardly be compared with others. 

The more it was like this, the more they felt that things here were far outside of their expectations. 

Ryu's hair settled down and his breathing became calm and even. There didn't seem to be anything that could faze him any longer.
