I've read up to the current raw (volume 14, about 850 chapters), and Douluo Dalu 4 is just as great as the 1, 2 and 3. Xuanyu is a born leader. At the very beginning, I thought he'd be more innocent than the previous MCs of Douluo Dalu, but he's just as devious, if not more. It's the Douluo Dalu MC who commands the most respect out of everyone he meets the fastest, which makes sense considering his Dragon God bloodline and his future prospects. His destiny is great, but so will be his burden, as we've been spoiled that the enemies in DD4 will be on a whole other scale of powerful from previous DD series. An intergalactic scale. One important thing to mention :You'll realize once more chapters are up that Xuanyu takes a lot of time to level up his spirit power, compared to his friends. Although he lags behind, which may frustrate some people for the first few volumes, you'll realize that it actually doesn't matter. Each time he gets a new ring, it's a complete qualitative change of his power (the rise of his power is exponential), so he actually stays as powerful (if not more) than his friends even though they have a clear gap in spirit power. Although this caused some problems for him early in the story, but where I am at, people who know about him have stopped judging his power based on his spirit power level. And people who don't know about him and wonder why his Shrek classmates act as his minions / Shrek teachers treat him as precious jade are soon given a nice surprise. So fear not, all the frustrations you may get in the first few volumes will be compensated afterwards. I'm saying this for anyone who likes op Mcs, may have followed DD, and wonder why MC seems weak at the beginning compared to other MCs.Xuanyu is the most op MC possible in terms of future prospects, bloodline and flexibility of his abilities, as you'll slowly find out, and it's great that he doesn't progress too fast so his friends can still be at a similar level as him while growing up. Otherwise, he'd be the first lonely MC of the DD franchise.
