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

Tamer of Hills Lichen, the old fool.
...
The He Art isn't poison based at all. Poison powers are something specific of Mei because she received half Long Chen's inheritance. LC's original inheritance was the Immortal Warrior Mantra, Poison and Stealing-powers. He gave Mei the Poison/Stealing-powers parts.
Anyway the He are known as the most alchemically advanced Clan.
Aw man, i had this picture of the He as some poison and alchemy specalizing assassin or crafters clan like the normal Tangs from most manhua's.
 
I HEAVILY feel like merging the Body Dao and Body Refining is the wrong choice. If he wants them to possess synergy, I feel that body dao should go the route of extreme free-form Shapeshifting where it treats the entire the entire as a liquid biomass that can be freely manipulated. I don't want unoriginal sh*tty punch and kick, I don't want a wonderful dao like Body Dao to devolve into a unoriginal uninspired stat booster. The Body Dao possesses the most potential of any dao if utilized correctly, the way that TW, Wu Heir and Niki use it is not the correct way. Creativity in Dao is the thing most lacking in POMA. A COP user should be moving like a Physics and Chemistry Nobel Laureate.
I agree. Body Dao should help the player with Body Refining, as it is supposed to rule over the intrinsicities of the body, but not necessarily to become entirely complementary.
In my view additions in the likes of, for example, reducing the Qi need to increase attributes or increase the attributes cap by possessing Body Dao would be interesting. Or, instead of a fixed value, add a formula based on the Body Dao level to make the reduction value.

Anyway the book still is just a WIP and Nicky doesn't really helps himself changing the system after every three updates like he's doing. Perhaps Nicky will refine it as he finishes the book. Not perhaps to be fair, he certainly will. He just needs to start helping himself more.
What you speak of is not impossible, but at least wouldn't be possible for now for such an ability is extreme.
Wu Heir already shapeshifts at the current stage of the book. Not Eldritchian-like as LDQ but he's doing it mixing Daos.
Imagine Wu Heir shapeshifting into Light...

Imagine Wu heir turning into some Sci-Fi Eldritch Bullshit like Magnetic Monopoles or Strange Matter, Immortal Magic BS right there. Imagine Wu Heir converting his saliva into antimatter and then spitting at Yichen and Yichen just gets erased from reality. Imagine Wu Heir turning into gamma radiation and giving some poor soul the Hisashi Ouchi experience.

LB when she realises Wu Heir is using Body Dao correctly instead of the bum way TW used it:images (64).jpegIt would be even more deadly for her because she would open her mouth and drink Wu Heir's spit like a good girl.
 
My true dream for Body Dao is Nicky adding a event where we use it to modify the Heavenly-Asura to allow Wu Heir to keep completely sane and use Dao(I just want to larp as TF Sukuna).
Imagine you're Ruo and sight a 10', four-armed behemoth stacking three different Dao transformations.

Speaking of the Asura – not the transformation – did you know they’re a race in POMA? I mean, neither Beasts nor Humans, but a separate race. I don’t know if it was just me, but I always thought there were no other ‘civilised’ races in POMA apart from humans.

Yes, I don't remember if it's either TW in a Q/A or Bohai(Or both) who explained it exactly. But apparently Asuras are the "armed force" of the heavens.

I did, Bohai told me. I imagine there are many other civilised races in the cosmos.
Yes, I remember Bohai saying that, but I’ve always interpreted it as a concept rather than a race, as, if I recall correctly, he was saying that the Yang’s aim was to create a True Asura or something of that sort.

This is why Chaos Leviathan mogs Heavenly Asura, imagine being a B*tch of the Heavens, Could never be my Goat. This is also why I think Chaos Leviathan was introduced because a Asura is inferior to a Dragon.
 
The problem with Body dao is that its just plain. There's no applications thats unique to it. I think LC kinda regeneration becoming part of body dao can be a good change. I just cant think of any ability other than that which is unique and different from the other daos and the basic abilities of MC. Maybe bone appendages? Like Wolverine or Kimimaro from Naruto, Blood attacks like the Choso in jjk, maybe even a scream that invokes 'primal' fear onto others lol, why must we be the victim all the time.

I for one think it would be really cool if with body dao it was possible to unlock each of the chaos body abilities through each realm, so for 1 star it would being able to reach the absolute peak of each realm with enough resources and qi even without manuals, 2 star allows us to take on the abilities of manuals we find and 3 star we are able to break through to future realms without needing further stars just like the lump of chaos LB was talking about so if you reach game ending stats it isn't contingent on the strength of your spirit, you just get wisked away.

Niki NEEDS to play Superhuman, I want my Goat to be moving like this Guy,Screenshot_20260930-023403.jpgYes, WE all see the fit MC

I mean, it is said to rule over all aspects of the body and structure. So should be possible, LC's like Regeneration, Blood manipulation, Bone manipulation, Avatars, shapeshifting...
And each facet has a thousand and one applications. Use Avatars in the way we use now, create clones, using "avatars" as the concept of structure and use it to manifest barriers(Instead of spending tons of Qi), or use it like HxH Emission. Had Nicky made Wu Heir fly over a ****ing Dragon Qi-avatar then attack Tigress with it and I'd cry.
Shapeshifting could be used as Wu Heir is already doing, mixing with others Daos to shapeshift into elements. But as Shashwaty pointed we could use it Muzan-like too.
Or assuming one's appearance, camouflaging into the ambient to peek Ruo'er bathing.

Someone need to tell Nicky to read HxH. Emitters and Conjurers are simply gold material for Body Dao. Hell, even JJK has some interesting material with simple barrier techniques...
Actually reading HxH would help his creativity as a whole for every Dao.

Imagine Wu Heir turning into Neutron Degenerate Matter lol, That sh*t requires star level ap to destroy, Even LB's real body is not going through that.

As I said, there are so many applications for every Dao. Scientific and non-scientific. Logical and illogical.
Nicky just needs to start polishing better as the book advances.

Although I imagine that to replicate the interior of a Neutron Star would be in probably a high mortal realm.

I imagine it's harder to turn your body into lightning or water, and the MC is already capable of doing that.
What he speaks of is biokineses as a normal spell or ability, such power is too strong to be normal for now.
Not to mention that turning and manuplation are completely different things.
 
This is why Chaos Leviathan mogs Heavenly Asura, imagine being a B*tch of the Heavens, Could never be my Goat. This is also why I think Chaos Leviathan was introduced because a Asura is inferior to a Dragon.
I am fairly interested in the concept of a Deva, since they are supposedly stronger than the Asura but also supposedly more righteous (connected to the heavens?).

But at least we all agree that a tri dao + Asura form would be devastating.

I am not sure, i mean, sure, body dao isn't currently about biokineses because our current focus is reinforcement and energy constructs based spells, in the future this may be different, however, why not just fly instead of walking on a dragon? (Which isn't our body) Why not a palm? Why not create a 1000 armed giagntic body avatar like Isaac nitro and flaten the landscape? Why not unleash sonic waves with the mouth, why not spy with or send energy beams with illusiory eye energy constructs?
Dao is truth, conception and understanding, understanding and meaning are fluid things, and may change and be enhanced, i think when we deepen our understanding or comprehension of dao we will be able to do more.
The current conception of wu right now is kinda like this:-
Body is a weapon, fists are hammers and spears, palms are swords and shields, fingers, daggers and arrows, skin impenetrable armour, body stronger than anything!
i like it, it could be better, sure, but i like it.
Even though i prefer space.

Well, of course they’re different, and the first is much more complex than the second, as one simply involves changing the shape of the flesh, whilst the other involves transforming flesh into something completely different.
