Battle Through the Heaven has begun airing. As a popular IP, it has been adapted into various versions, including Wu Lei's "Battle Through the Heaven 1" and Ma Boqian's film adaptation. Among them, Wu Lei's version of "Battle Through the Heaven" has gained the most popularity.

However, even with the participation of many celebrities, the Wu Lei version failed to salvage its ratings and reputation. TV adaptations of manga often face criticism. Now, "Battle Through the Heaven Season 2" has premiered. Among the three actors portraying the real-life Xiao Yan, who do you consider the ideal male lead? Wu Lei became well-known through "Nirvana in Fire," and now our young guard has transformed into a capable individual; he is no longer a child.

Xiao Yan is his first major male lead role, and although the special effects may be lacking, Wu Lei's acting skills outshine other young actors. The animated Xiao Yan appears quite immature, and the character design isn't particularly handsome, lacking that captivating feeling. When Wu Lei played this role, he was still quite young and appeared somewhat immature, but his expressions were vivid, and his looks were appealing.

Compared to other TV adaptations of manga, "Battle Through the Heaven" has achieved a higher level of faithfulness to the original story; only the special effects fall a bit short. He Luo Luo portrays a carefree youth, although he may be a bit too casual and lacks the necessary dominance. In the later part of the series, he needs to carry the entire plot of "Battle Through the Heaven," and there are concerns about whether He Luo Luo can handle it.

The animated version of Xiao Yan has undergone ten years of trials, transforming overnight from a genius revered by all into a useless individual, only to rise again. His character is supposed to be deep and profound, which the anime perfectly showcases. However, He Luo Luo's portrayal falls slightly short; he lacks the same depth as the novel character, making it difficult to discern his thoughts.

Overall, He Luo Luo's version is not bad either. He previously fit the original character quite well in "Hidden Love," perhaps hindered by the style of the adaptation. As a popular IP, the main characters in "Battle Through the Heaven" are undoubtedly sought after by everyone. However, TV adaptations often lead to many original fans finding it hard to accept, which can be considered a significant flaw.

Another crucial factor is the special effects. In truth, all three versions of Xiao Yan are decent, but the special effects are somewhat lacking. Hopefully, this version of Xiao Yan will shine in the later episodes and sweep across the world.
