Remember, in a 'real' battle, RWX would've trounced LHC handily, if by simply roaring he was able to knock LHC out; if it weren't for the fact he liked him, RWX could've simply killed him then.
Vs the Great Ying Yang Palm, a FOURTH tier fighter, again, if it weren't for the fact that he had all that energy inside him, he should've died, or come close to death.
LHC, in essence, had the luck to engage in several EXTREMELY high risk situations and come out alive, and each time he did so, his knowledge of DG9J increased immeasurably in the area he fought in. Think of his proficiency w/DG9J before and after he fought RWX; judging from the books description, I'd say it increased enormously. I don't think that it would've taken him nearly so long as to defeat Feng Buping after he fought RWX, as it did the first time. The novel states that DG9J's power increases with your opponents power; and since LHC had the luck to run into powerful opponents that, for some reason or another, didn't kill him, his DG9J's power increased much more than it would have normally.
Especially considering that FQY supposedly had sworn to never again touch a sword after he came back to the Huashan after the Qi/Sword fratricide, I don't think FQY had nearly as much experience fighting top-tier martial artists like RWX, and definitely no one like DFBB.
