Let's be a tiny bit more scientific about it.
Anyway, the worldbuilding of Douluo Continent had long since become utterly unrecognizable under the original author's pen. It wasn't quite wuxia, not quite fantasy, and its technology was absurd as hell. So what was wrong with Lin Yun's thinking being a tiny bit unconventional?
