Bro said another power up my MC still hasn’t gotten 1 yet I’m still hoping to get Tri Dao on solo lone wolf path lol I can use console but I want it to make sense story wise. Yeah I’m cooked I know
I was just referring to the dream that increases stat limits, which is so far the only power-up you don't have to sell your dignity to get. Speaking of "power-ups", Ruo's pill was an absolute disappointment... only +500 in five stats, at this point in the game...? Who does he think he's helping, an EH?

I might try that out on like Heavenly Difficulty, the xp expense is too high otherwise imo. 30k xp for level 4, 60k (I think? might be higher) for level 5 is crazy. And I have training fanatic + maxed out relentless training + 3 qi stones coming every turn.

At least it was nice to discover that there are still characters at the same level, Yue Fang excluded, with stats superior to MC. This opens the door to another possible power up. Since I can't imagine MC winning against a guy who MC needed 15k in PER just to barely see his punch.

Speaking of which, I doubt that other characters (below Xiantian) besides MC and Yue Fang were even able to see the blur of First's punch. I think that's why Ruo was so perplexed.
Whats interesting is that the "First" is a body cultivator trained in the same style of yue fang's world, opens some cool possibilities for the future, althought i doubt nicky would let wu heir go in this route.

Changing the subject... How high are the chances of comrade Yuan Fang being a cultivator?
LB would have to have recruited him and used her he gang offscreen haki to churn out another true cultivator. Unlikely since he's not very relevant as a side character, just paying homage to yuan fang
Yup, he’s just scheming and trying to not stand out clearly. LB is an elite recruiter tho so you never know. Would not be surprised since they’re purposely putting us together.
You all are giving me 1v5 vibes for the 3v3 stage.

Cool, right? I've always found the concept of "Body Refining" interesting in novels. Somehow, I always imagined that Nicky would never include this subject as a unique category of cultivators, since there is Body Dao.

Another thing that I found disappointing, even more than the pill, was the Martial Art that the MC created for Yuan Fang. 50 Qi and eight days just to create a Middle Grade Art. The first thing I did after seeing the result was to return to the save point. It's simply not worth it. Even if the result was a High Grade, it would still be disappointing. I was expecting at least a Top Grade Art, with high hopes for a Transcendent Grade... I think this was Nicky's way of saying that the MC couldn't have helped Ai or anyone else creating Martial Arts

Yup, very disappointing especially for 50 Qi wtf even is happening. I get MC excuse not enough time or Qi seemed like just an excuse not to make Wu Heir OP (let us have something). It was like 24 hours 50 Qi for a middle grade, like??? Btw MC could’ve helped Ai let’s be honest with each other it’s just wasn’t in Niki plans, now if it was Mei 100% would’ve found a way

Oh I expect 1vs4 at least because I already see Gang trying to eliminate us, I ado not see Yuan Fang switching sides most he’d do is plot a way his token is destroyed and he’s eliminated, don’t think he’d openly make an enemy out of us. I’m expecting a 1vs3 at the least with 80% of that and I’m probably giving too much to Wu Heir of us having our backs against the wall.

50 qi is an insane cost for something like that. Like 10-20 qi would have been reasonable.

Tbh thats my only issue with it. MC is at 1st stage dao seed with only a day to spare and used a low grade art as a base to improve. Middle Grade is reasonable for that.

Hell, we might be able to sell it later and make back those 50 qi. Or Yuan Fang does something to justify it later and become our disciple. Or maybe I'm just coping; I mean it's niki.

What was Ruo's reaction? I imagine he was able to see the punch but couldnt figure out First was a cultivator.

It wasn't the first time that Ruo had seemed surprised or disturbed, but it was the first time that he had been quiet, really speechless. Not even his usual arrogance or a bit of competitive spirit. Nothing. Just "I need to investigate". I'd say he even looked afraid, but that's just my interpretation.

I can just imagine everyone going crazy during the 3v3. Yuan Fang might bail out if we dont help him, He Gang will jump teams and Su De might join us if we helped her and possibly banged her. At worst it will be a 1v4, and at best it will be a 3v3 with Su De and He Gang switching sides. I hope this is the case, makes the fight a lot crazier and unique to write all the while including multiple variables.

With that said...I hope we can beat Chu Muchen as much as we want to beat He Gang. I hate that guy for some reason especially on the tea party route. Every single idiot is glazing him despite seeing that MC beat everyone in his first stage with no room for others. Its like nobody wants to acknowledge MC.

That's why I assumed he didn't even see the punch. It's the only thing I can imagine that would leave him in such a state for minutes.

I remember when everything was as revealed everyone doomposting on discord and Cog forums that nothing matters anymore, thinking Qi would be impossible to get (which is was originally I feel like) bro I had to lose my dignity with ma rin smh, now all these cultivators (where tf is all this Qi coming from). It doesn’t feel special to me anymore I was actually hyped after TW reveal, now every new strong introduced character gets hyped and is a cultivator. Like idk feel like book 1 should’ve just been us with Poma like there was no worldbuilding. Think I’ll go back to waiting for a few updates before playing again. (I hate to compare them, but crazy when a no name MC Thunderfaller, feels more special than a reincarnation of a god). Honestly if MC wasn’t a Wu it would be a better story.

To be fair, we only know that was Body Refining because Yue Fang told us. For Ruo who doesn't even know what Dao is and has all the body enhancement in the world on him that must have been frightening.

Not necessarily. Even if he saw him move that Body Refining might be stronger than even his hax (lizard transformation, sword art spam)
