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

[kazuya]

But that would mean defeating Ruo with Caihong’s help and not in a 1v1, so I don’t see how that would be a fair fight.

Funny wanna talk about a fair fight? How about the fact that Ruo instinctively understand Dao without knowing what it is (which Mc can't do) or how about the fact that the heavens themselves help Ruo cultivate and make her stronger beyond logic? What about the fact that Ruo literally has toned down (for now) casuality manipulation through luck controlled by the heavens? Or the fact that Ruo has the best artifacts + a transformation which possibly can be top 1 or 2 if fully mastered, Don't get me wrong i ain't antagonizing you or anything but we can hardly talk about fairness with ruo but that doesn't mean in a 1v1 mc would get stomped

 

[God]

Yeah mc isn’t reaching godhood before the end of this, Niki said there’s only 13? in godhood realm including TW and it would take millions of years to reach. Plus pretty sure he said the epilogues will be when Mc hits NS and gets kicked out or leaves

I haven't read where it's said that at some point it will be MC&Caihog VS Ruo or Caihong VS MC&Ruo, I only know about it from what I've read in the thread. But I think in this case instead of a real 2vs1 it will be more like Ruo VS Caihong until a draw, then MC appears to bring one down, something like that.

This is why I said that Ruo was clearly designed to be insurmountable. When I mentioned a fair 1v1, I meant that if we have to fight him in a 2v1 with Caihong’s help, wouldn’t that mean Ruo ended up being stronger than the MC in book 3? I say this because if that’s not the case, then what’s the point of fighting a 2v1 against someone weaker than us?

From the beginning, I’ve always thought that Ruo wasn’t really designed as a rival but more as a final obstacle to reaching Nascent Soul. If that’s not the case, I don’t see the point of fighting him, since, as I understand it, he has dragons fused within him, making him not only a Dao Child but also giving him an enormous advantage, supposedly hundreds of years ahead. And that’s not even counting the artifacts he possesses. For the MC to defeat someone like that in a world where he’s naturally at a disadvantage and can’t fully leverage his physique has always seemed hard to believe.

Mentioned in a certain explanation (sorry for spoilers?)as for the casuality part it's more of a speculation since "karma" bend for ruo's way which kinda remind me of wonder of u

Not insurmountable, a challenge sure but not an impossible obstacle, mc being able to defeat someone like that is simply because Mc is HIM, as for Ruo being stronger than mc in book 3 it all depend on how niki want the story to go, personally i think they'll be more equal than one being largely stronger than the other

Literally Mc just after the Ruo mission has a chance of beating him if we somehow were able to ran around until his transfo ran out btw and that was before even incomplete Asura

Also it's just that Lady Butterfly never mentioned the benefits of having Chaos Origin Physique unlike she did with Ruo so of course Ruo would seem way more op but there is a reason why throughout trillions of years only four people were born with our physique and why the Heavens schemed so much to kill them four

That's assuming if Ruo go into dragon form from the get go which i highly doubt + considering the experience from fighting Long chen Ruo must have a trick for the time limit it impose but that's considering if Ruo need to transform in the first place since without Qi MC is barely a match for Ruo physically (strength at least) wise meaning that in reality they both have a time limit Mc depleting his entire Qi and Ruo with the transfo, as for the physique Lady butterfly never specified who was better and/or stronger she just said that mc's physique is rarer and the heavens favor Dao children more.

 

[an-ô-nymous]

I always wanted to know is the mc the only one with the physique (then he's gojo) the first time I played poma I was thinking of gojo anybody else

 

[kazuya]

From what we know so far only 4 people (tang wei included) ever posessed the physique (i wonder if we are the 5th or LB counted us among the 4) and out of the 4 only tang wei lived the longest, especially with void dao MC feel like gojo and recently Ruo is starting to feel like sukuna

 

[an-ô-nymous]

So the other's are dead and also how does someone get a physique the heavens (I think I remember tang wei saying heaven doesn't have a mind of something)

 

[Arlonb]

It's just the way I see it, but the MC's physique is better. I mean, not only does he have a higher potential and is rarer, he's also said to be incomparable in terms of understanding the Dao. I'd even bet that if MC used a sword he'd be better than Ruo, after a while of course. In my opinion, the only disadvantage is that Heaven hates those with this physique, which is a huge disadvantage... But not one that can't be overcome, Tang Wei could after all. I even dare say that if Tang Wei hadn't met the MC he would have succeeded in his plan at some point, but that's up to the author.

 

[Arlonb]

By the way, I don't want the MC to start using a sword. The best father in fiction, Yujiro Hamma, once said that fists are the ultimate weapon.

I doubt Niki would make Ruo stronger than MC. Ruo maybe start to understand Dao but MC has single biggest advantage and that is meridian and in long term we will beat him instead

Deplete 80+ Qi in one fight?

Yes, Qi is king. There's nothing to be done about it, too bad it's scarce. Imagine if the MC were in a proper world, absorbing Qi just by breathing thanks to the perfect body that Tang Wei created, being able to use the Dao without limitation.

 

[Arlonb]

Changing the subject, any idea when the update will be out? There have been only a few sneak peeks this time.

 

[kazuya]

Deplete 80+ Qi in one fight?

Plausible, i mean a literal random bum gojo wannabe sitting on the side of the arena made us spend 10 Qi, ruo who is in the top 10 and by the time the tournament come pretty sure will at least rank top 3 will make MC spend a good amount of Qi and before you say "it's because we wrestled the void of his grasp" Ruo also might have other tricks like the tang fire which Ruo most likely posess (you can't tell me some random tang jobbers have it yet the imperial heir doesn't) but this is all assuming You don't play with martial sovereign and without counting the fact that artifacts give random amounts of Qi and a last final touch some randoms in the arena make MC spend 3-5 Qi to perform attacks so i see it as a possibility (but depleting 80 Qi isn't "impossible" just highly unlikely)

I beat the crap out of that guy without Qi on mortal mode (body dao ftw) I don't really use Qi mostly use it for infusion and regen. Body dao plus Phoenix tattoo and the over 2k pass stat check talent or the talent that cut off passive regen and boost active regen 200% is a very op build. Storymode used to be my favourite but man it's satisfying when you create a good build on mortal

What I said isn't based on my personal thoughts but the author who said that mc (not current mc btw who is stronger and has Asura) can handle current regular Ruo but for full power we would need to run around until his transfo end because it is still extremely time limited so he hasn't found a way to bypass that. Also anyways almost all qi options have another physical stats one which has the same effects so that isn't true and like in all fights author isn't gonna take in account those who have like 5 qi left

Also for the physique my point isn't about that but about your whole fairness thing because Ruo has more op things
