Yeah tho dao isn't as respected as it should be in the poma world. No one's in awe seeing it used in battle that alone reduces the hypeIt was to be expected, I suppose. Practically everything the MC does with the dao is better than a transcendent art, even a simple punch or palm. It was even described by that nobleman that what the MC did was so perfect that no one else in the world could do it. This same nobleman was watching LC, Xiwen and Ruo fight. LC's techniques are inherited directly from Tang Wei, Xiwen's come from the Sage, as for Ruo's, they have Ultimate in the name, the nobleman hasn't shown any fascination for them, which means something.
