Thanks for the criticism? But uh i think you're confused because if you actually read what i wrote i said that he gang "if he trained seriously i won't say he is top 3 but he'd be stronger than top 9 for sure especially with the situation with his uncle" also you got it wrong, before ruo entered the stage He gang was top 10 and the big 3 were long chen, yang gan and tang bo, the only reason i think he is top 9 now is because since Lc is an X now they all were upped by 1 grade, also sure i doubt ai will be easy as before especially if you make her reach Ph before the tourney but that's only compared to the average martial artists if she were to face current mc she'd still get cooked so she isn't the best example to use here also even if ruo didn't use his dragon transfo i think that possibly mc could do the same without relying on Dao and i personally think that ruo didn't or rather couldn't use his/her dragon transfo because he/she either is keeping it for worthy opponents (like mc) or his/her fights weren't challenging enough and also i speculate that she/he is top 10 not because she can't climb higher but rather that she/he is stuck at top 10 because she/he want to beat everyone that ranked higher than her/him then take their spot (i.e: she/he is waiting for he gang to come back then she beat him take his spot and then challenge the 8th spot and so on and so forth) or she/he is waiting for mc to make it in the top 10.
