They changed the rules because DLT was too strong and there was no suspense but now it is Shia Hao who is way ahead of others. Where is the logic? And they should be extatique to have a disciple like DLT. If he wasn't the MC and the author didn't want to give him some fake hardship he would be groomed by the sect and the rules unchanged. Maybe they would promote him to inner or core disciple to prevent him from participating but that's it.
