Sunflower ERSA vs all the rest
First of all I'd like to thank all you guys for this translation. Came across this as I was reading JY's other novels on wuxiapedia. Yep I'm an avid fan of his, to extent that I like his novels more than JRR Tolkien's, and that's saying a lot. Started trying to learn chinese (Mandarin) too since it seems there are many more novels to read.
Anyway in the novel, LHC pondered on seeing FQY to ask tips on how to overcome Sunflower, does this mean that DG9J is able to overcome Sunflower/ERSA. Is there actually a set in DG9J that can accomplish this? I remember that there's a set to overcome Qi, but then again Sunf/ERSA doesn't rely on Qi, just speed alone. Pity LHC isn't as affluent in other arts besides sword arts. Would DuGu-Seeking-A-Loss be able to overcome Sunf/ERSA? In ROCH(ROCL), it was mentioned that his ultimate sword skill is swordsmanship without a sword, where a piece of grass can be deadly, or not having a piece of grass is deadlier still, and that YG had not yet attained this skill (wonder if JY ever showed us this skill in any of his other novels). Sun Tzi also mentioned something like this in his great work. But then again with the devastating speed that Sunf/ERSA displays, could you really fight something you can't anticipate.
On another note, DFBB took quite some time to get to his level of mastery, remember RWX was imprisoned for a dozen years. And then again, the version of Sunf/ERSA that YBQ/DFBB/LPZ uses is some incomplete version (compared to the original at Shaolin), so can it really be that powerful?
