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

[Supreme]

On a second glance, wtf did the rogues do to Yang Gan?, how and why did the omniscient sage even pick him up?, realistically he shouldn't have at all since the rogues have like 5 shangtians one of them being one of the most formidable in the whole miserable verse, did they just dump Yang Gan because he was a failed experiment?, how was the omniscient sage even allowed to pick him up first instead of the Ascension Shangtians?, did they just give him up in some sort of deal?, also Yang Gan wasn't really as formidable as I thought considering the MC STILL did a decent number on him without even going full power causing him to regenerate even, his best feat is still turning a Peak Houtian to red mist and somewhat threatening base Ruo while also being hurt by her ******* cousin, which shows we probably are her equal, either way he fell off literally after his intro scene, guaranteed to be a bum.





Also, was disappointed upon finishing the game that I couldn't beat the **** out of He Gang, would be peak if we could use the RAF on him.

He is rogue

I guess physically mc is stronger than ruo, he can't keep up with a body refiner, i just hope we don't need some power up mid fight to keep up with him, i guess it being pretty close than ruo unleash all his power and we use the seed to unleash some of our actual Dao powers and crush ruo would be cool. Ruo has a half formed aura, when it will happen to us?

I don't know if cultivators have an aura. The only peculiarities my friend told me about the next levels are that, starting with Qi Sea, cultivators gain a spiritual sense, and that Body Refiners also start using Dao, but with their bodies as a medium (like, a body refiner with elemental dao could melt things with punches or punch to freeze, while a body refiner with body dao would be a 'body refiner plus') without expending Qi.

MC is not really a true body refiner right? Yue Fang says he cant teach MC body refining without a manual crafted specifically for them. I think true body refining is breaking through limits. Like having more than 100 stats while being a PH like the first. This is just bad speculation on my part.

Maybe body refining breaking cap also has certain limits like for other less talented maybe they can't get past 80 at this stage while mc can get to 100 atleast and then maybe more if he gets a manual

Thats

A Xiantain regardless of being early or late or peak, being wary and nervous of the power MC displayer is a big compliment to MC. Inciting fear and uncertainity to a strong individual is the best compliment you can get.

I havent read many manga but from what i've read, Gojo vs Sukuna is the best. If Niki can come even a bit close to it for Ruo fight, ill be satisfied. Ofc I might be asking too much but i cant help it.

Niki made the story interesting enough that there's a following for it. I also dont care much for the mechanics but i appreciate the revamps nonetheless. Its lore is good and i really believe if Niki puts his mind into it, he could actually flesh out and make it even better. At the end of the day , its subjective. I just hope Niki actually puts out a roadmap and plans out what he wants to do with the story, characters and stick to it. That way it will be the most satisfying when it pays off, for us and for him mostly.

That's the problem. You see him glazed in fights but not in non confrontal meetings

Said this before and will keep saying this, mc body( at least the outside is stronger than ruo's own. I've got a playthrough like jiren( haven't done one for this new update tho) and my mc tanks everyblow.
The only time ruo has surpassed my mc in body talent was in strength and speed and that was at the tourney. So where is the ****ing " trash body of wu" coming from?

I'm pretty sure Ruo outright states you're better then them in whatever Dao aspect you picked up if you use it in the free for all and you're winning against all the PHs, with Tri Dao I think we're outright better then her not counting the weird heavenly asura-not heavenly asura thing because we haven't gotten anything relating to her power level in that yet

Someone else stated this in the thread and I'm here to reaffirm them, I think it has to do with our physiques, Wu Heir has Chaos Origin and with how Tang Wei was so viscerally hated throughout the heavens to a completely unreasonable degree I think it negatively influences people's perception of Wu Heir, with how Ruo is so unnaturally glazed I think it also has to do with their physique as well, Dao Child probably has the opposite effect, it positively influences people's perception of Ruo.




But if we're being real, I think it's Occam's Razor in effect, Wu Heir being part of the most decadent great clan that was the head of the hydra in the rebellion which was heavily propagandized against and how Wu Chao spent his life after sacrificing his potential also happens to do with everyone thinking so lowly of Wu Heir, while Ruo has the massive advantage in status because they're a part of the ruling clan and how the Tangs probably advertised her as their strongest heir since centuries, meaning we hadn't had much of a chance to compete against her in reputation, either way I'm interested in the 2nd Wu Heir vs Ruo match because I sincerely want to mudamudamuda the **** out of them.

Actually, now that you mention it, that may very well be the case. My friend mentioned to me a few weeks ago that, according to Nicky, normal cultivators cannot simply absorb Qi and reach the Great Circle (500 Qi) and beyond; each person has a limit to how much Qi they can contain, which is limited by talent. I imagine it must be something similar for Body Refining practitioners.

Yeah, it does in the game I think, the meditate option has body refining that can increase the cap for the stats dependant on how much qi you have, which means the MC can theoretically get past 1000 while still being Houtian.

A normal cultivator would use the qi they cultivate to upgrade their dao and dantain. So they barely used qi to increase their physicality. A pure body refining cultivator would use every drop of qi they cultivate to refine their bones and muscles and such. Therefore their ceiling and actual physical stats would be way higher than a regular cultivator. Thats why Tang Bo and Ruo could barely keep up with the first physically whereas MC who refined both their body and dao was able to hold their own better than them both, assuming you have sufficient stats ofc.

Not to mention the inherent advantage in having cultivation that literally doesn't poison your body and destroy your potential.



Also, Ruo and Bo and First were clearly going out more with their power then MC did, considering Ruo straight up used her ultimate art and First kept regening more and more, while MC didn't really go all out as much as them, the most you use in the fight is just hardening your body to beat the **** out of First.
