Are we gonna have zhengui for the challenge?
I think the answer to that is we might (though I think not given how easy he would make things), but we can't plan for it because Ling Qi has no idea.
Actually, @yrsillar: important question we should know from Meizhen spars. How vulnerable are we to counters?
Like, if we have FVM or Echoes up, or heck, even Aria, does that allow Meizhen to spam Blackwater Riptide into us every turn?

I'm actually a bit surprised we're encountering higher levels at this rank, also Foundation people starts appearing around 770s? We gonna start punching up soon.
As for the challenge, unless Liang He starts becoming technical and want something like a sword duel (which I got worried about first time I read it), We shouldn't have that much problem with him even with his spirit beast. I may just be overestimating people but I think people who are our actual level is a bit higher up (that I mean I don't think this is the rank that people would have high level arts).
As for Yu Jiu, would've considered challenging her especially with her stats if it wasn't for her description. A bit worried she's just stacking up.

The fact that Six is absolutely the type to use their wind control to accentuate drama is great. If we ever wear a cloak, we can be certain it'll billow heroically at all the right moments.

Part of me hopes we do enough of stuff in her wheelhouse to convince Yu Jiu to duel us, I'd like to fight her just to see how that goes down but uhh, it sounds like the discourse around her is more 'can we take her' versus 'yeah we can probably fight this guy' that Liang is getting.
EDIT: Because I wanted to make this comment and habitually am leery of double-posting:

I imagined meeting sine opposing guy with a big fancy cloak or cape and Six billowing his cape into his face instead of heroic...Probably says something about my opinion of Six, that particular thought.

It means she's getting at least one counterattack against you every turn yes. Though her arts are some high grade unfair bullshit in the scope and range of their counters

As is right and proper. The Bai won't tolerate people trying to outlast them after all.

So would spiritual avoid/defense arts be the way to go if we want resistance to this counter strategy? Presumably the counter-vector has to at least match that of the attack (otoh counters are probably poisoned too...)
Yeah they still use normal attack vectors and generally a spiritual counter will be a spiritual attack. Some counters do auto hit though like the one you just got. They still have to deal with armor though, and will typically have lower damage than an equivalent art that doesn't auto hit

Yeah, I'm surprised too.
@yrsillar Is a general outline of what cultivation is in each rank available?

Probably for the best, though we're seeing that Art quality is really starting to make a difference by now so it could be reasonable for someone with access to a few FSS-tier arts and a Zhengui to reliably punch up a stage or 2.

@yrsillar do consider having challenge+sect point amount happen in the same vote in the future (or just auto-assign some appropriate wager), and possibly auto-resolve less interesting ones; to get to rank 530- with 10-20 rank jumps we'd need like 15-20 more challenges (not counting defensive ones) which is a lot of narrative room.
