Lh and also not using her transformation but that doesn't matter tbh the only thing matters is mc getting his own acknowledgement that's it Ruo can be as great as she wants i wouldn't have issues with it ever. Also as niki said it himself if Ruo looked weak in the recents Event he will just retcon it Lmaoo.

That's just Niki's cop out for all the flaws pointed for wu heir not getting his acknowledgement outside the fights.
Sure sure, but I’ve got a theory about this relating to the statement by Niki that the Ruo fight is gonna have 130+ checks.
He’s definitely gonna advance during our duel.
1.) Because it makes narrative sense. If you got to the end of the tourney to battle Ruo, you also probably beat him in the entrance tourney, so him advancing then would be a turnaround narrative moment.
2.) So far Ruo’s checks in base have been in the 90-100 range, which makes sense when he is not using his hax and is still LH. Now if he advances or moreso, let’s himself advance during our duel, it would both an emotionally driven moment, with him admitting that he needs it to beat us, and also would rationalize the checks being so high. Like a 30+ point jump in checks is insane, and if that’s the level he can reach without being PH, I think Niki will just shoot himself in the foot with that one.
So yeah, unless it’s already been confirmed, I think Ruo will advance to PH during the duel.
He is though. At least when he holds down Yang Gan, while we can do it in base. Also, just remembered that he has ANOTHER transformation. That divine celestial emperor or whatever. Wonder how that will play into the duel.
He has another transformation?
Not bullshit, it's just a plot device used by Niki to give debuffs and buffs.
Yeah during the First/Yang Gan fight right after the 3v3 he ults and floats up, and a celestial aura and crown surrounds him or something. I think it’s more of a influence form cause it made the MC want to kneel and only the Golden Seed dispelled that.
I don't have a save around there so I can't check yet to be completely sure, but from what I remember LB says that she "killed everyone from a juniors clan" so she killed everyone in the clan.
But yeah, I don't know how big the clan was.
How can I reach my moon god?
But I've got another thought on how ruo vs mc could go. The KNOWN limit for Houtians is 100, what if in the book MC and ruo become the first Houtians to break past the limit while still being Houtians?
I mean for the limit to be realised then obviously someone did it. Think of feats now rather than numbers. A character with 50 strength check could keep up with one twin but someone who could keep up with both twins in terms of strength was realised (100 strength check) and since that person was considered the "the strongest houtian " thus the limit of houtian strength. What if ruo and mc show an even greater strength limit by being the first houtians to pass that strength feat?

Mc isn't houtian.
Yeah but most people in POMA don't know that
It did happen to me when I played but yeah I don't think that was intentional on the part of the author lol
This is Path of the Mei Arts, buddy. Either you evilmaxx or you're a bum. Seriously though, it depends on how the Yue path pans out.
She's righteous, but she's a fanatic. So it really depends on what conclusions you draw based on that.
Tell her you don't care about what happens to the world when you meet the rogues after the dream with dreamweaver. I was struggling with that as well.
Fair points overall. I had no issue with Ruo before it was revealed he was doing these things in LH. We know that 100 is the Houtian limit that is extremely hard to reach even from PH so for him to reach all the way there from LH with just alchemy and his physique is just too absurd for me to accept imo. Feels like he's pulling power literally out of his *** as someone else said.
I can see the narrative reasons for it though. Just feels extremely contrived to me.
Yes. At the end of the day, we have confirmation from the author himself that he was thinking about the plot as he wrote, with no prior planning other than the MC being a clone of a god. So, we can "safely" assume that Ruo being Dao Child, having "grow beyond any logic or reason" and luck to spare is a reactive plot device to justify asspulls and force rivalry.
Something that reinforces this artificial rivalry is Ruo's own behavior. You can spend the entire game ignoring him, not contradicting him, not antagonizing him, but he will still show up from time to time to say "train harder," "you're weak," "pathetic," "I only used a tenth of my power," etc...

Of course, the problem is not the plot device itself, but its frequency and absurd exaggeration.
Lmao, he's just lonely af. There's nobody who can actually challenge him apart from MC and sadly he only understands strength. That's why he's clinging on to MC despite MC not gaf abt him. Remember Yichen telling us to beat his *** so that he changes for the better.
I don't remember this... I only remember him saying that Ruo could wipe the floor with the MC now and would continue to be able to do so in the future...
