Dead Man

Ryu wasn't sure exactly how strong he was now, but he was sure that he had significantly closed the gap against Eighth Heaven geniuses, especially since the weight of his Dao counted just that faintest bit more due to the fact he had a vessel to use it now. 

Honestly speaking, the only thing he was lacking in were the techniques to maximize his strength. Anything that he had learned previously would obviously be useless now, and even if he was still in the World Sea Realm, if he was honest with himself, it wouldn't make a difference. 

For a long while now, Ryu had lacked techniques to use. Aside from [Absolute Domain], and some general methods of the Radiant Star Sect's core materials, he had nothing else to use aside from his own power and skill.
