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

[Jorgoe]

Without Immortality mantra Long Chen is pretty mid. His just unkillable. From the story everyone tells he relies on Immortal mantra in every fight to win.

So... As I said before, I'm playing again and can call me an fool, but I've only just realized that there's an Aura Perception option in the Combat Menu.

Anyway, during the fight against the Vampire, I used this option on him, and this was the result:
View attachment 21408

What I want to ask by bringing up these numbers is: Don't you think he was too weak? I mean, he's top 1 in the Havoc Sect and it's said that he was stronger and faster than Long Chen to the point of dominating in the fight between the two.

During the fight against MC, he says that He Mei's poison cost him a third of his power ("That poison cost me about a third of my power"), which means he was at 66% of his total strength, so his full stats would be: STR ~8156, AGI ~8509, CON ~6896, VIT ~6323, PER ~8987.

It doesn't make sense, it's too weak for someone who was stronger than the top 1 of the Ascension Sect. It could be argued that Aura Perception is inaccurate, but even if we use the values from the stat checks the situation doesn't improve much for him, as it would only raise him to 10k > X > 11k.

Confusing as hell because if we're going off stats we should be dog walking most of these guys my highest stat (without demonic overlord or anything like that) is vit 19000

Exactly. I've just completed a playthrough, to prove a statement I made the other day, about the Normal MC even without items, Talents, tattoos, Arts, perks and Flesh Worm being fully capable of reaching 17.6k~18.6k in at least four stats with the normal infusion, it was difficult, but it was successful. I discovered that not only in four stats, but in all six, it's possible to reach these values (18612 to be precise) today, and I still have XP and RP remaining.

Well, to be fair, I actually chose three talents, but I believe that these didn't have a big influence. They were: Regeneration, Business EPIC and Lifeforce COMMON. To be honest, Business EPIC didn't help at all, since all the gold I needed to buy pills I got from Guo and gambling.

I'm actually starting to think that this next update we will edge the real evolution of mc. Things are leaning towards mc being a menace (not just for his violence or potential) is crazy to think that IE mc would be top 3 easily, we dog walked DQ son that dog walked chu mugen (or something like that) and he is top 5, i dare to say we would high-difficult Yang Gan. But with cultivation we take the longer road but with way more benefits.

 

[Arlonb]

It's inaccurate. Author mentioned Yang Gan who he also said is only slightly stronger than BH has 10k in CON and 9.5k STR for his highest stats in base

Thank you for telling me this, in fact many of my doubts have been cleared up. I used to think that the most powerful PHs were all above 10k in their base forms. As for Yang Gan, who was mentioned as having a powerful Physique, I thought he was at 16k~18k base.

Thanks to you, I now see that this isn't really the case for any of the PHs, 10k really is the base limit. For anything above that, talismans, items and techniques are needed. The best example of this is the Demon Executing Squad, all of them were undoubtedly weaker than the MC, but in addition to perfect teamwork and being the counter to Demons, they were also using talismans and items like it was nothing all the time, not to mention that one of them was constantly weakening the MC.

Replaying and seeing all these lies like saying violence is prohibited between disciples. And leaving permitted or long lasting harm will get us in trouble. Saying someone like Mc won’t even be immune to the consequences. So like does only MC have to follow these rules?

I noticed that also. It's seems the MC is stalked by the guards all the time stopping them when they are about to commit something illegal. While other martial artist from powerful family can pretty much do all they want inside the sect. Wu clan has no hold over the sect at all. And while I understand the Wu clan is in poverty. I'm surprised the Wu clan don't have a representative in there beside the MC considering they are one of the main clans that traditionally attend the sect.

Was this already hinted at before? Seemed like the voice was helpful?

 

[Xclusivegamer]

Then I don't have any idea...

Actually...there's also the mom of the kid that jumped on the MC when they are younger right? She was a xiantian if i'm not mistaken

Not a true descendant
The clan would be resolved within minutes
Honestly based on real life situations (not niki's writing lol) mc would be in the best position to rule wu clan

 

[Xclusivegamer]

Nicky is doing all he can to make sure mc is a fraud, in stats we are fkn op.... wait, we are all calling mc a fraud, but recently mc has been JUMPED by atleast 5 same realm martial artists, the only real fight we had was against li mogui and he was trashed. Maybe mc IS strong asf, but we just can't feel like that bc everyone wants to murder him

AND yet he didn't do so on his own
Did you see ruo having a breakout when he was jumped or overwhelmed?

That's new
Haven't seen that before

That is old, that is in the 1v3 right?

It's a bad example, Ruo literally got beaten up by four guys, all probably individually weaker than the members of the Demon Executing Squad and apart from restricting Ruo's access to his equipment and poisoning him, none of them seemed to be actively using boosts or healing items. What's more, his dragon powers are literally dragon souls in his body, so in a way the MC's Devil counts more as "own power" than this.

We will become Patriarch if Chao dies for the same reason as to how a 16 year old child became Emperor despite there being other strong Tangs . It's based on lineage not power except for the Su

For real rogues fumbled a good kill wonder how the hell they survived if the mc isn't there

You're talking about a late houtian
In average poma life
An early houtian can't touch a mh same goes for mh and lh
And you're talking about a lh surviving 5 peak houtians(if you refused to help)with nothing but pure strength and technique

They did use talismans and arts

I forgot that Ruo is LH man Jim surviving that attack against 5 ph without his artifacts while being poisoned is total bs
