@ Senior Master Pacifian: I created this thread to avoid causing the thread 'LHC better than YG in sword art?' http://www.spcnet.tv/forums/showthre...t=18607&page=4 to digress from the main topic. Now I'm presenting my points which had some adjustments compared to the initial points:
==========
A. My points:
1. Qi Sword = A type of sword # The other types of barehanded fighting technique.
2. Qi Sword = No Sword.
3. The level of No Sword in Dugu's philosophy = Executing Dugu 9 Jian or any equivalent sword art, using Qi Sword.
4. Using only Qi Sword WITHOUT the elite knowledge of sword art does NOT make a fighter a NO-SWORDSMAN.
==========
B. Explainations to my points:
1.
- Qi Sword is the fighter's Qi shot out from his finger tips in the form of the extremely concentrated beams of internal energy.
- Qi Sword is a type of sword n differs from the other types of barehanded fighting technique because: A Qi Sword beam is as SHARP as a real sword n can cause damage to opponents from a LONG distance.
2.
- There are only 2 ways for a swordsman to harm his opponents in a fight:
+ 1: Using his real sword (a real object) to attack.
+ 2: Using his Qi Sword.
Plzzzzz, don't tell me that Dugu had another way to attack, apart from the 2 above ways, using neither a real object nor Qi Sword. If he could do so, I think he must have been an Alien or an X Man/X Woman such as: Clark Kent, Prof. Xavier, Jean Grey, Cyclope, etc. who can kill people by thoughts or incandescent eye-lights.
- The more advanced his sword art becomes, the blunter n lighter a so-called sword he needs.
- The highest level in sword art is No Sword. That means the swordsman has only his bare-hands to fight, so to be called a NO-SWORDSMAN in the sense of Dugu's philosophy, he has no choice but to use Qi Sword.
- That is, Qi Sword is, actually, No Sword, both are types of sword. Don't get me wrong, I say Qi Sword = No Sword in the sense of a sword, not Qi Sword level = No Sword level.
3.
- Because a Qi Sword beam is nearly identical to a real sword, furthermore, it travels extremely fast, the noswordsman can use his qi sword to execute Dugu 9 Jian or any equivalent sword art at the highest level, No Sword level. Certainly he must have an utterly high inner energy to be able to constantly send out his qi sword.
4.
A No-Swordsman is not just simply a person who can shoot qi sword, he must also have an elite knowledge of sword art. Because:
+ If you give a real sword to such a person, he will not know how to deal with the real sword. Whereas a No-Swordsman will perform divine sword moves.
==========
C. Duan Yu vs Dugu Qiubai:
- Duan Yu is not a No-Swordsman in the sense of sword art philosophy.
- Dugu was just gradually reaching the No Sword level. He had not reached it yet.
This is maybe because of 1 of 2 following reasons, or both :
+ His internal energy is not inferior to that of Duan Yu BUT he did NOT know the exact methods of qi transfer in his pulses to be able to shoot qi sword out as Duan Yu did.
+ His internal energy is still not strong enough to do so.
- IMO, from ROCH n DSGS, I'm not sure whose internal energy is greater. Only God or Jin Yong knows how many times Dugu came upon FOC-like affairs. But from Xiao Ao Jiang Hu, I think Dugu's energy is weaker than Duan Yu's, because he would be extremely pleased to meet Ren Woxing. .

Ye gods! This matter took quite a lot of my allowable online time. Bye bye 4 now, see u tomorrow, Senior Master Pacifian. .
