DY's lack of knowledge in sword techniques also makes his 6msj formless, but we can't really say that that's dugu's level. HYS's ability to kill with a pebble is impressive, but it's just a projectile.
shen si fu is much more impressive. u dont even have to bend down to pick up a pebble. u can just spit into ur palm, then make top kung fu experts ur slaves with ur spit, now thats impressive
Can't beat my Siu Long Lui and her bees technique. Don't even need anything, just need to whistle and once stung, you'll be begging for your life. hahaQuote:

I believe Jin Yong should have a good explanation detailed out in ROCH, as in the case of HSDS and DGSD (even though the nature of TV adaptations often led to these details being left out and audience left in the dark on the mastery of the author).Quote:

To tie back to the original subject of this thread, I'd think that Dugu would be the stronger of the 2, regardless of TZSG. Primarily due to his name. Plus HYS is a member of 5 Greats, while Dugu stands alone (more "exclusive"). As you can see, an unintelligent answer based sorely on impression since I don't know much about these 2 guys.
BTW, why would this be considered formless? Aren't those pebbles a "form"?
The bees are apparently controlled by the sound of Little Dragon Girl or Chow Bak Tung's whistle command. Defeating it means overcoming the sound. Someone with Lion's Roar Technique could do it, or East Heretic Wong Yerk See playing his flute could probably do it.Quote:

That is a good theory. But what if the Bees have the canny abilities to seperate sounds on different levels? Kinda like how there are alot of sounds around us but our brains actually tune out some of them so we may focus on the important ones.Quote:

6MSJ actually have stances so his technique is actually form. He just cannot perform them correctly. So it should be semi between formless and form. But more on the form since he does not understand the technique. The more you understand the technique, the less you would use the original stances; and the more you reach formless.Quote:

However, in ROCH, it is used a bit by YG. The problem with YG using it is that we all don't see it at full potential because it takes 3 years of practice to master it. YG used it against Wu 3 dude, the No Valley Valley boss, and once somewhere else. According to ROCH, DZST is suppose to be like the 2nd best finger technique behind 1 Yang Zhi. From what I know, to truly use this technique at full potential, beside 3 years to master, you also must master the Sword technique that was also taught to YG by East Evil. The reason is because when you combine the two in combination, it will be all attacking on the Blood streams or Xua Duo. East Evil also used this to parazlye Golden Wheel Monk at about 3/4 of the 4th book.
Actually, I got it from the 2nd Edition novel where ZBT, YD and GLFW are fighting and all of a sudden something shoots out at GLFW. And out steps HYS who was in the area and heard the commotion and went to see what was up.
how about unable to find a match anywhere, for starters.Quote:

Some theorize he injure the creator of 9yum junging during his career. I'm sure he has beaten fighters who we would consider Greats but comparing to Dugu, they were ordinary. Eventually, Dugu ran out of opponents that he simply gave up and lived in seclusion.Quote:
