Later, it was mentioned 9 Yin was "on the same road" as QZ internal, except more improved and stronger. Since 9 Yang was in a way derived from 9 Yin and supposely "improved", I don't see why 9 Yang wouldn't have the "no boundary" improvement rule. Though the improvements wouldn't be insanely quick, but it would still be constantly improving when ZWJ is sleeping like GJ does. It would be like the improvement that GJ had from Pre 16 Years ROCH to Post 16 Years ROCH, which is still a significant improvement. Now, ZWJ is only 21 or so, imagine what his internal would be like when he is at Z3F's age.
    Yes that is what the theory which JY wrote indicates.

    Only thing is, at 16 GJ was <1% of the Greats, at 20, GJ was about 70% of the Greats. At 30, he was about = Great. At 50, he was at best slightly better.

    That kinda goes 100% against that line of logic.

    I think JY doesn't let the fact that one plot device defies another plot device as long as both plot devices fit his overall plot!

    Just playing devil advocate here,

    Even XZ who may have more internal energy than SM gets injured by a weapon, who is to say that SM may not be damaged by the HIS??

    XZ's brute force inner power protection activates when he gets hit, though. There may not be much that any amount of inner power can do to alleviate the effects of strikes with sharp objects. On the other hand, Sweeper Monk's defense stops the attacking object or force from contacting with Sweeper Monk, stopping it at a certain distance from him (for example when MRF attacked him). It may not be possible for inner power to disperse the effects of a sword in the same way it disperses the effects of a palm, since the palm does damage through inner power and/or kinetic force, while the sword does damage through sharpness. But if a person's palm can be prevented from getting within x feet of SM through some kind of telekinetic force, there is no reason why a sword would not be similarly affected.

    I am sure if the HIS powered by anyone of Great level energy and above hits Sweeper Monks Head, Sweeps will be injured.

    But you have to hit him first? Even disregarding the shield, its easy enough to imagine Sweeps tapping YG before YG can even raise the HIS.

    What if Yang Guo doesn't tap out? He might be determined like that.

    Negative. The outcome of the match would depend largely on the reason for the match to start in the first place.

    I think that partially had to do with the fact that he barely trained anymore after Pre 16 Years. GJ being busy with all the country war, barely had time to train. And even though you can improve your internal even through sleeping, I imagine GJ barely had any time to sleep having to worry about the Mongols 24 hours a day. I'm not saying that he didn't improve a lot, but I'm just saying that he improved a lot slower than he could have.

    On the other hand, when ZBT made that statement about his predictment, the WCY ZBT was referring to didn't have anymore country wars to worry about anymore;therefore being able to train on a regular basis. It was the same for WCY compared to GJ when WCY in his early days had to fight the Jin Empire. It was said that because WCY had to fight the Jin Empire, LCY momentarily surpassed him(but WCY would get the lead back after LCY got sick for a while). So I think having the time to train is also important.

    Therefore, for ZWJ, I can imagine him increasing at a good rate because at the end of HSDS, he completly retired from jianghu deciding to go to Mongolia with Zhao Min. Plus, ZWJ won't have much to do there, so I imagine him training.

    Even allowing for that, we can just isolate it to the end of the Peach Blossom Island stay (where he definitely had time to train) and we have

    16 yrs : 1%
    20 yrs :70%
    30 yrs : 100%

    I think that Athena had provided a strong defence against the claim that GJ did not train during the Xiang Yang defence in the past.

    yes.... and that defitnitely made sense.....
    Ok, it's not like the Greats just stood at their current level x years ago. The Greats also improved. In addition, though there is constant growth, but having mastered 9 Yin, your growth will become slower, but still constant.
    IMO, the % that you gave sounded reasonable. In other words, based on that rate, if GJ did have time to train, he would have been significantly stronger than the Greats by the time he was 55. But no... after 33 years old, he would be spending the majority of the time saving the Song Dynasty.

    Disregarding the so-called perfect defence of MRB and XYS, would a single tap by SM injured YG all that much?

    Lets say that YG came fully prepared, with info about SM, and using his Ancient Tomb's lightness kungfu, can SM tap him at will?

    Of course, it doesn't matter how good YG's lightness kungfu. Sweeper Monk's tap is fast, but it isn't fast, because the term fast is no longer applicable to his tap, since even though his tap seems to be fast it is beyond fast since it has transcended the physical limits of fastness.

    Translation of that underlined part: Your Dog Beating Stick and my Dragon 18 Subdueing Palm hasn't been touched for 10+ Years.
    This quote from chapter 35 doesn't exactly give me the impression that GJ trained a lot....
    Again, I'm not saying that GJ didn't train, but I'm saying he barely trained and that his progress was MUCH slower than he if did train without all the Mongols and country stuff in his mind. And therefore, that is also part of the reason why GJ was never able to take that commanding lead over the other Greats. In addition, don't forget that the other Greats don't have GJ's burden of defending the country. Yideng and HYS were just out in jianghu. So GJ being busy and still maintaining a minor lead actually is still pretty impressive. And this just further strengthened by claim that if GJ did actually have the time to spend training, his lead over the other Greats should be significant.

    Thats when Sweeper pulls out his other finishing move. The kick in the nuts!

    You know how those jackie chan/stephen chow comedies go. You expect the eye poke so you cover both eyes with hands, the other guy then jabs your throat or kicks your nuts.

    YG having 7 votes actually seem unbelievable to me. I was expecting 0.
