Ryu strolled through the moon system, trying to see if he could find anything useful to his cultivation. After learning just how much more powerful the techniques of even a weak Sect of the True Martial world could be, he was greatly interested in seeing if he could find anything that could boost his strength before he set foot there.
He knew his comprehension would likely be slower without his eyes, but Ryu was still confident in himself. This also provided him a great opportunity as well.
In the future, he would need to find a way to break away from the reliance he had on his Heavenly Pupils and evolve it. So, this felt like a trial run of something he would already need to do anyway.
Regardless, Ryu didn't believe that he would suddenly become a fool. It would just take him a more normal time frame to comprehend techniques. But, if he had to bet, he would still think that he would be faster than most.
