Ryu sighed. He wasn't too surprised by this sequence of events, Ailsa had made it clear that fighting against one's own lack of talent required a lifetime of effort. If he only had to go through this much to see lasting effects, even if not everyone would be willing, a large majority would. By then, almost everyone in existence would be a topflight expert.
Ailsa smiled encouragingly. 'It's better than I thought it would be. The [Tribulation Nine Clouds] definitely has some miraculous abilities. Even with the shrinkage, your Mental Realm's size is still double that of an average talent.'
