Path of martial arts: leaked sneak peaks, and discussing thread

[Zeus]

Stealing what someone desires most in the world and then mocking that person to their face, especially when it's something as important and powerful as the Asura transformation, should be reason enough for Yang Bohai to kill the MC. It doesn’t make much sense to justify that YB would want to continue investing in the MC after such an audacious and provocative act.

I said the sect not Bohai, and when or where did mc mock Bohai in that scene?

 

[Waoman21]

I don't know, I still think it's just an ordinary plot, but I don't have much to say, since my MC has always been quite sensible and hasn't made the dumbest decisions, so I haven't read these scenes.

I can understand your indignation about the Shangtians, but as for the Xiangtians, at least I can see a good reason for them not to kill the MC when he insults them. Like it or not, the MC is the heir of a major clan and his father, even if everyone despises his behavior, is seen by everyone as the greatest genius of his time and is probably one of the most powerful PX. Look, at the very least the other Xiangtians must think "it's not worth the price".

I could understand the Xiantian part if it weren't for the He Clan. As I mentioned before, the MC is their direct enemy, so killing him would only give them an advantage. If it were from another clan, your explanation would be correct, but in this situation, there’s no reason not to kill him since they are mortal enemies regardless.

the MC hit that Xiantian in the face, so I don't see any reason why they wouldn't kill him. Of course, the scene may have changed since I last played, but the last time I saw it, you just failed the mission. You didn’t even need to pass a stat check to survive or anything like that.

Isn't directly telling him that you took the artifact for yourself a form of mocking him? The fact that you can provoke him by telling him the truth directly and it doesn't result in an immediate bad end is an unimaginable situation, yet the MC can survive it easily. You literally stole from an S right in front of them and then tell them about it, and still survive, and you say the MC doesn't have plot armor?

It makes sense if you think about it this way: if that He killed the MC, it would be an EX or MX killing a junior EH, it would be good for his clan but not necessarily for him; everything works with justification, imagine, he kills the heir of the Wu, a junior, Wu Chao would be right to kill him, the He would have no reason to protect a mere EX or MX from a small town and antagonize one of the most powerful PX, that is, that guy would die for a foolish decision. If nothing else, the He guys aren't impulsive idiots (excluding He Gang, I guess).

Yes, but his clan could even use this opportunity to set a trap for Wu Chao, since he would come to the He territory seeking revenge, and they would simply kill him, finally taking the Wu lands with justification. After all, it was the heir of the Wu who attacked the Xiantian first. It wouldn't be impulsivity, but a plan to get rid of their enemies once and for all.
Considering that a He was directly going to kill him when it was revealed that the MC was the reincarnation of TW during the ceremony with witnesses, I would say they are quite impulsive in this case, or at least impulsive enough to make decisions to eliminate a future threat. Of course, it may not apply in every case, but they really have nothing to lose and everything to gain by eliminating him when the MC himself gives justifications for doing so.

 

[Arlonb]

Not really. Reason would still be on Wu Chao's side, after all the MC is a junior and an heir, someone like that guy had neither the power nor the authority to kill the MC just because of a punch.

As for the plan, it's not bad reasoning, but again, that guy simply didn't have all that authority. Such a plan would have to be thought out in advance and by someone of higher rank. Something that was not feasible in the situation and obviously wasn't the case, since in order to punch him the MC had to force the issue, it wasn't as if the guy was provoking him.

I don't quite understand the part about provocation that you mentioned. As I said, the MC is the one who strikes him from the start without the Xiantian provoking him. Even if he doesn't have the authority to kill him, he surely has the authority to imprison him since I understand this Xiantian is the guardian of that town, and it was the MC who started the trouble in the first place. Therefore, it would have been definitely justified to at least imprison him and make him face some kind of consequence, even if it wasn't death, but none of this happened.

Now you have convinced me. In this case I agree with you. He could have arrested the MC or demanded compensation. In this case we can say that it is an interference of the plot or error of the author.

But what you are saying also does not make sense at all. I specifically stated in my response "WITHOUT explanation". The fact that you can die without cheats, or very specific circumstances in your interactions with YB shows that if pushed, he can and will kill you (and that was due to the fact that he had a reason to do so, you broke one of the sect rules which he is an elder of). YB is an elder of a sect that we are a part of, and it would suit him well not to kill its disciples willy nilly unless he himself is prepared to turn rogue and abandon the sect. The MC is not a nobody in his and the sects eyes. He is a heir to a great clan, connected to Tang Wei, and a disciple of the sect. These all make him an asset to the sect which I would expect they are more than willing to invest in (and give a certain amount of leeway too) given we are given the option to choose one of the elders (and the sect leader?) as our mentor, so I don't see why he would make enemies with the whole (or at least the higher ups) of the sect unless he was given a reason to kill us, such as us breaking the rules of the sect (e.g. in the arena match where we kill our opponent).

Mc stole the art from Mo Long not Bohai, sure they used Bohai's artifact and tricked him but they didn't steal from him, and Bohai didn't want anything to do with the killing of a junior (Mo Long) that wasn't even a disciple of the sect, you think he would involve himself in the killing of an high profile important disciple of the sect?

He did it during the interrogation so yes, I wouldn't be surprised if he lost his temper over this to the point of even doing it accidentally out of rage.
and another reason YB mentioned is that Mo Long has protection against that, so if he tried, he risked losing his opportunity. That's why he used the MC.

Yeah I can't justify that one lmao, the game is all over the place tbh, killing mc in that situation is stupid af. The plot armour is on and off I guess

 

[Vitalik]

I don't really understand why continue this discussion, since, the reasoning behind why most of the powerhouses in the world didn't kill Wu Heir is because the Leaders of both factions (Empire and Three Kingdoms) don't want them dead in the first place, instead looking to bring them in.
That's why Bohai tells you anyone who is powerful (Xiantian - Shangtian) would be stupid to try and kill you - they are important enough to know what's currently going on regardless on their political standing, to know that killing you will mean disobeying The Emperor *and* Rouge clans (at least for now, before you choose where you stand yourself)
You can ask Ruo since he faces a similar situation and he will tell you pretty much the same.

 

[Zeus]

I think the Yang are on the rogues side

This we even get a glimpse at this when Ruo Aunt tells Mc to leave Caihong because they still have plans for Mc. Guessing Yichen had told higher ups not to touch Mc.

I think you all have the misconception that the mc got off without consequences beside failing the mission which isn't the case. He still beat and heavily injured the mc as a remainder/punishment for punching him.

It's not really a matter of plot armor. There is a lot we don't know

Sorry, the way I wrote it really made it sound like I ignored the state that the MC is in after He Something retaliates. That wasn't my intention. I just meant that it's a bit strange that he didn't give a harsher punishment or go after some benefits. Personally, I think a beating and failure in the mission is punishment enough, it's just a bit strange considering the reputation of the He clan.

Tuchan is satisfied with beating mc also him being Xiantain is speculation which there is no way it is true when you consider how he couldn't dodge the first attack and the nature of Martial Protectors

 

[Jorgoe]

My MC has no plot armor. I remember Uncle killing them in the first scene if you disrespect his wife. And Bohai is the most prolific killer of my MC.
