? He did use his sword art. You can see him using it.
What he doesn't use is the sealed slashes from Jia.
Long Chen was still at PH, the zone was keeping him from breaking through.

You kinda forgot that his stats buffed by dragon body even without transformation. And buffed by much, otherwise Jing would simply blitz him. Without dragon body he still will be able to fight stage above due to skills, but probably with weak or average fighter
You're right, it's a bit more complicated than just the transformation, and at one point in the Jing fight he even has to hold himself back from transforming with how much he was being pushed.
You misunderstood me — I said he didn’t use his sword, not his arts. In that scene, he was using some random sword he took from a bandit who had attacked him on the way to his duel, right?
The quality of the sword should affect his art, shouldn’t it? Well, I guess this part is more speculation on my part, but I thought it worked at least that way with swordsmen.
Well, not really. Like someone said before, we don’t know if his eyes come from his dragon body or not. And about Jing simply having beaten him — I don’t agree. Like I said, he didn’t use his artifact sword, just a normal sword from a bandit that probably wasn’t even high quality.
He was doing the same thing he did with the MC in their first fight — just playing around — but he could have won from the start just by using his art. So again, we really don’t even know if he needed the buff from his body to defeat him.
I don't really recall anything to indicate that, but maybe its one of those things niki only mentions in asks in some forgotten corner of tumblr
Niki has only said on Tumblr that Ruo sword is the best (for a trash barren world anyways) but hasn't mentioned if it makes his arts better or not
new_opponentsAnyone knows the password for patreon ? the one from wip section " lore_update" does not work
Nothing during fight even imply that Ruo used random sword instead of his (and as was stated in Tumblr Ruo sword as best a possible). What bandit would attack Ruo in sect?
Why do you think Ruo don't use other people art in fight? Not because he is holding back, but because his sword art is already strongest art he has. So if Ruo has his sword art, then his eyes and copied arts is don't increase his power level. And again nothing during game even imply that Ruo used some random sword and this was never stated by Nicky
Ruo would lost his fight with Jing even if he used art form start. Because even with sword art he still was only on equal with Jing and needed to advance in fight to win. Again Ruo was able to hold his own against Jing very much because of his buffed dragon body. Jing is LH and Ruo is EH, even if Jing stats were low for LH (3k and this is not true because Jing was strong LH) is still 2k stats difference between them without Ruo dragon body buff. Believing that he could do something against Jing without dragon body is straight up gooning
I rewatched the fight just to be sure, and now I see what happened—they cut that part out, since now the fight starts with Ruo simply beginning to lose. But previously, before the fight began, Ruo and Jing had a conversation where Ruo said he didn’t need his sword to fight him. And when I said “bandits,” I was referring to people Jing had hired to attack Ruo before the duel.
And when I talked about the eye, I was referring to how his eye allows him to do other things besides just copying techniques—there have already been hints of that, though who knows if they cut that part too.
They keep changing things from the canon so often that I guess part of what I had read before is already outdated.
Well, you’re remembering wrong—Ruo didn’t need to advance to win. Ruo cut off his entire arm while still at EH, and then advanced to MH because he wanted to.

Every day I curse the heavens(Nicky) for their blatant favouritism. Has there ever been a point in the story where Ruo doesn't just low diff us if she isn't playing around?
That hasn't changed, but it's mostly likely in reference to Ruo's half-formed Dao Seed. You can infer that much from the tourney pov.
For now Ruo eyes give him nothing but art copying, any other abilities is only speculation
Ruo was unable to even stand and leans on his sword to no fall, while Jing not only still was able to fight, but also was ready to finish Ruo. At the end of the fight Ruo exhausted and was not able to stand, while Jing was still can fight just without arm.
Things turned out this way because Ruo decided to start the fight without using his art, took the hits, and when he stopped playing around and used his art, he easily won — even in that pitiful state he was in. What you are saying is he needed to advance to defeat an enemy who is completely defenseless from the pain at that moment, to the point where he has time to throw us a provocative look and advance at will to MH, while his opponent does nothing ...
And as I said, if Ruo had used his art from the beginning, he wouldn’t have ended up in that state — which was the whole point of this discussion. Ruo was just playing.
What Ruo did in that fight is the equivalent of what he did with us in the first fight but this time he decided to stop playing.

Hes houtian level, with no manual, in a desolated world, mc is like aquaman in a desert. Making a middle grade in that scenario is already godlike
Ruo is one stupid mf, always holding back or some other ****, I can't wait for someone to humiliated humiliate him again like Long Chen did. Favouritism and plot armor are carrying this jackass
