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

[Sov]

I don't know. I still think there's something missing to explain his strength. BP is important and all, but I can't imagine that this and a good body talent can guarantee the top of the generation. I mean, MC has something much better than BP and his Spells have already been recognized as having much greater power than even the Transcendent Arts, but even so, he's not there yet.

DQ was a peasant. MG was originally an ex member of the Liu Clan but that got retconned so he is prob from a much poorer clan or also a peasant.

 

[justindeed]

I think potential matters more, you have knowledge of cultivators now and all, but before BP was the big thing like go back and see how they reacted to BP at the start. BP can carry and was the original thing. Now it doesn’t matter because you know cultivators but yes BP is that important or was.

Also BP people can be pretty strong too. MC even remarks that they lose in potential but not in might.

He only managed to create his own technique due to winning a danger zone and being rewarded by the sect

Doesn't diminish his feat in any way tho.

A feat is only special if it is actually special

A feat is only special if it is actually special

"He won a danger zone as a houtian beating whatever competition there was then was rewarded by the sect becoming the only houtian to create an art, said art rivaling any top grade in power"

...and that is somehow not special

Winning a danger zone is special yeah but you mentioned he created his own technique as one of his feat not that and the creating thing is not special when he got it handed to him

Also the we are not even there yet thing you mentioned is insanely skewed due to our age (21) but we spend 3 years total in a coma so actually 19 and we will prob become EX by the end of the tournament anyways still 19. Chao only ascended to X at 25 and he is the youngest ever. Yutai is in his late 30s and still a PH. Yichen mid 30s when he ascended if I remember correctly

Ok but the full context is still impressive? We were talking about Chao being crazy talented, and you're telling me he was winning a danger zone against other people in his gen before even creating FSK.

It's not entirely fair to compare Yichen cuz his cultivation method has him holding back his breakthrough until he's fully maxed out.

Also coma was probably necessary to adapt to the new cultivator body so 22 is fair and still the new youngest X record.

I know, the MC himself even mentions that he doesn't suffer from bottlenecks and that his Arts are more powerful than they should be.

Speaking of which... It was a good time, right? To be honest, I think Nicky should have stuck to the basics, kept the story of MAs in that world and abandoned the idea of Cultivators. I won't say that I've been following POMA since the beginning, but I've been following it since before Danger Zone Events was written. I really liked where it was going, imagining all the different ways the MC would beat Ruo and everyone else. I liked the idea of the Arts being divided into Successes and the MC having to work hard to understand the Arts, with even a chance of failure. Together with my friend who recommended POMA to me, we theorized that at some point the MC would create his own Arts since he had 100% BP, that he could evolve the Top Arts of the Wu Clan into Transcendent Arts. I remember that when we learned that the special mission would be in Danger Zone, we speculated that there the MC would receive a special legacy, perhaps even from Tang Wei himself, something like the secret to creating Arts. In a way, we were right.

Agreed 100%. There was even a time where arts had a second level MC could upgrade to in game, Ruo was super broken though with the eyes so people started dooming that we couldn't beat him.

I am just saying that the creating feat isn't that special

Chao prob did the same as Yichen cuz he is still the strongest X currently even as young and wasted he is so it is just Yichen skill issue early cultivation wise

@Arlonb there's a new sneakpeek in the patreon btw

 

[O1O]

I'm actually going to start a new playthrough as her child now...so I will see what's up with that

Well! LDQ hasn't been mentioned at all on the demon child route...

Quite frankly the only thing interesting in this route is YB getting his **** rocked by LB...but Idk if this is exclusive to this route or if the Mo Long route where you steal the ashura from him is the same.

Overall the demon child route is pretty wack right now...but ofc this is probably going to change in the next updates...probably

It isn't exclusive yeah cause LB is watching regardless of routes

Yes, I've never been one for other social media, but my friend was, so I learned about these opinions. Honestly, these people simply didn't have enough creativity to imagine what could happen in the future. My friend and I saw so much potential for what MC could achieve under the right conditions. I mean, it was clear that Ruo had more hidden power, including the transformation, which at the time was still a mystery, but we could still speculate so many ways the MC could surpass him. Before Ruo and MC's physiques, the Dao and the Heavens were a thing in POMA, I could see potential for MC to be the best, even with setbacks.

These sneak peaks are giving me a little hope that maybe Nicky will return to writing like he used to. Nicky has my respect and I admire his work, but in my eyes, the first part of POMA has a higher literary quality than it does now.

Yeah I'm pretty sure this is Tang Wei. Guessing we'll get a new memory powerup this update

As someone who played since the beginning I’m talking old sandbox like structure tbh 90% of the problems and changes have been because other people complained, thought the sandbox was empty (Poma was like a month old), when the biggest thing was us cheesing the flowers mission, and even gender selectable Ai lol. Idk the tone originally was way smoother, people complained so much about everything, tbf Ruo was busted even said the 3% BP makes no difference etc. Tbf 2 things Ruo was always going to have the physique and transformation and sword so nothing changed about him, you can see early signs of him fighting the transformation and even why didn’t you use x said after his defeat early on. MC with the 100% BP I feel like he was always going to be TW reincarnation, but Poma was going to be self contained no cultivators and BS appearing. As he said in the discord SS he didn’t plan and came up with LB and we are where we are. So tbh it changed with Dao and all that, but the physiques were always going to be a thing a TW reincarnation from what I remember from early days. Rogues I’m iffy they existed and tbf Chao did hate MC and ignored them, but Niki used to hide MC mom BP and say she was a random Maid which obviously was a lie from the way he said it. Just my opinion of things. The Cultivators thing definitely wasn’t planning since you came around the Danger Zone the idea of Qi was super rare remember killing random IE people wouldn’t even give 1. The discord and even COG forum doom posted after the original TW reveal. Cultivators coming to the world was definitely not planned. I say the powerscalers started changing and getting mad pressuring Niki after the LC saving us from the wolf when that first happened people were upset. Sorry for the Yap

People complained about the sandboxes not because it was too empty but because people were too lazy to go back and forth
