Within Jin Yong's canon, which character would you say was the most influential in Jin Yong's canon? By influential, I mean in shaping the direction of martial arts and martial artists throughout wulin, establishing norms and practices that would cross the passage of time and generations and differences of sects and clans?
Beetwen Damo the "founder" of Shaolin and Z3F😁😁😁😁
Zhao Kuang Yin

Wu Ya Zi.
1. His preference to other disciples over DCQ created a bitter DCQ who then terrorize the wulin and his followers using poison.
2. He made Xu Zhu so powerful that Xu Zhu would refine the Xiang Long 18 Palms thereby affecting subsequent legends like Hong 7 Gong and GJ.
3. Lingjiu Palace became "good" because of Xu Zhu/Wu Ya Zi.
Not in the sense I mean. Though they were great heroes during their lifetime, they created no enduring martial arts legacy. A generation after they were gone, nobody practiced their martial arts anymore, and they founded no ongoing wulin institution of significance (their daughter Gwok Seung, however, is a different story...as founder of the Ngor Mei Sect, which became one of THE preeminent schools of martial arts across multiple generations).Quote:
