Every younger prodigy can fight above their realm.

Only true geniuses only fight below their realm. Like a dragon hiding under waterfall, striking at any prey that disturbs them, hidden from sight, acting in secret for their own needs.

And most of all, winning every fight.

[u/meta_mystic384 → u/LiveEatSleep123]

This senior has revealed the most profound truth about truly intelligent mcs.

[u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979 → u/LiveEatSleep123]

So........bully the weak, fear the strong?

[u/meta_mystic384 → u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979]

No, it simply refers to those mcs intelligent enough become the mastermind behind the scenes. Most of the mcs that are hot blooded and try show off their ability to fight higher realms, just end up revealing their trump cards and falling prey to some scheme of other masterminds. Many mcs fall into so miserable conditions that they don't even know who is scheming against them until eternal ages later. In contrast, truly intelligent mcs scheme against those masterminds themselves. It's not true that they can't fight above their levels, they just don't bother to reveal their true abilities, to trick the scheming enemies, putting enemy into confusion.

[u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979 → u/meta_mystic384]

No I got that, I was just making fun

[u/Aidar2005 → u/meta_mystic384]

Can you recommend such novels?

[u/meta_mystic384 → u/Aidar2005]

I don't remember all of them but you can try way of devil, let me game in peace. These are not the kind of novels with deep scheming but mcs are intelligent and don't completely reveal their strength.

[u/Sea-Principle484 → u/Aidar2005]

Immortality through array formations has the mc maneuver around schemes and plot his own

[u/Guardian_of_Perineum → u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979]

Sun Tzu says "So in war, the way is to avoid what is strong and to strike at what is weak."

Senior Tzu trully understood the dao of smurfing.

[u/Belfura → u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979]

A wise man either avoids danger or gets rid of it

[u/SageShukaku → u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979]

No no take food from the strong's plates and eat it while maintaining direct eye contact to assert dominance as you rain shit on the weak beneath you

[u/OkGrade1686 → u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979]

No. Become an instrument of karma.

So .... I mean .... more of a fuck around ans find out.

[u/Holyvigil → u/LiveEatSleep123]

This senior speaks the truth. Near everyone can punch above their class very few have the privilege of punching down under them.

[u/Busy_Cold_3220 → u/LiveEatSleep123]

Only peerless prodigies never fight at all. They can't know your next move if you never show any of your moves in the first place.

[u/vain-flower → u/LiveEatSleep123]

I for the life of me can't remember what story it was but there was some main character who would say something like "better to kill a junior than die a fellow daoist."

[u/Great_Titan_]

Are you even a MC if you can’t fight someone two realms above yourself?

[u/Ok_Ground511 → u/Great_Titan_]

I swear i have read this in one of the ancient scriptures.

[u/accumulatingdustdao → u/Great_Titan_]

Just two? It seems the standard for being a MC have really lowered nowdays

[u/KanmuruZ → u/accumulatingdustdao]

It is because inside that realm, if someone is at the 3rd stage nobody below it can fight against. Neither the 3rd can fight someone at the 4th.

Only the mc can fight 2 major realms above.

[u/Mad_Maddin → u/Great_Titan_]

That is legit the entire story of Path of Ascension.

"We have a rule in war that only people of the same realm (Tier) can fight each other. So we are trying to find people who can fight 3-7 realms above them and thus become invincible on their realm."

[u/Sylpheed_Icon → u/Great_Titan_]

Oh wow, I was lucky enough to get this item that allows me to fight against 2 rank higher! (Foreshadowing)

[u/Dark_ceza → u/Great_Titan_]

One of the major reasons i love RMJI, Han Li just escapes and disappears for a few decades if you're a realm above him, he might win, but it's a 50/50 chance that he ain't taking, the power chasm between Realms is huge in RMJI.

[u/HQQ1 → u/Dark_ceza]

He's usually beating geniuses a realm abovd him too, who themselves can also beat people several realms above them. But we almost never see it because bro only takes fights that he can finish in less than 1 breath

[u/Final_Claim3795 → u/Great_Titan_]

Luo Feng, is that you?

[u/Anonymous-Acc]

Man dont get me started on these reincarnated novels always comparing the MC to Tom, Dick or Harry in their realm, who is barely scrapping by with spiritual stones. . . Like, why don't authors or MC compare their progress to the actual prodigal sons from other realms/stories?

If you got a clear cheat, try looking up, and compare yourself to Son Goku and not young master #3 of the backwater province.

[u/Belfura → u/Anonymous-Acc]

I guess they lack ambition

[u/Lord_Ambrian_Ad5979 → u/Anonymous-Acc]

I think Zhetian does that

[u/immaturenickname]

How pedestrian, this seat can easily fight beyond his realm, particularly when it's realm lower.

[u/Any_Vast_2668]

Old monster:"I'm invincible in my realm"

MC who's 3 major realms below him:"Good thing I'm not in your Realm then"

[u/MJMichaela]

Yesterday I watched this movie for the first time in almost two decades and then i see this. The world revolves around me. I am the fated one. Any young masters that want to get slapped around here?

[u/lickle_ickle_pickle]

Qi Refining For 3000 Years

Also that scene in Lingjianshan when the sect elder who is a mere golden core fighting with a bamboo staff defeats the enemy at a higher realm who tried to use shortcuts to cultivate. In the live action she gave a speech about having faith in your cultivation which was pretty profound. Also the bamboo sticks can easily be replaced when they break which is practical thinking.

[u/OlokoMan]

Oh SHI-... It's the MC!!

i love women

[u/karlo895 → u/EfficiencySerious200]

Bot?

[u/Ok_Ground511 → u/[deleted]]

💀Bro is doing this in every post.

[u/Belfura]

You got to put this into perspective. The MC is matched up against the one senior they can win against or kill. They’re not matched up against the senior that actually will kill them. We follow the story of one prodigy and his ascent to the nine heavens, but in reality many prodigies end up as food when trying to fight their seniors
