The martial world didn't seem to know how to wrap their heads around this information, none of it made sense.
Common grade talent? That much was fine on its own, but how could a common grade talent have Incalculable Battle Prowess? Never mind that, but how could a common grade talent have reached the Half-Step Path Extinction Realm at 22 years old?!
What these people didn't know what was that when Ryu initially signed up for the Mercenary Guild, his Battle Prowess had been designated at the Black Grade and his Talent was designated at Sub-Common, even worse stats than he had now.
Unfortunately for the Mercenary Guild, they had an inability to detect Ryu's Spiritual Foundation, so their system designated him as a person with a False Spiritual Foundation. As such, even after taking into account his ridiculous amount of talent in the other Three Pillars, not to mention his Heavenly Pupils, his overall talent was slotted into their lowest possible rating.
