    Default Was the concept of "Retracting Stance At Will" featured in DGSD/SPW?

    In the Trilogy, the notion of Retracting Stance At Will is prominently featured. A few examples include:

    1. In LOCH, Hong Qigong told Guo Jing that XL18Z should be retractable at will.

    2. In HSDS, Xie Xun said that he can retract 7 Maim Fist at will.

    3. In HSDS, Miejue demonstrated the ability to suddenly retract her power from her stance, and then unleash it at will.

    4. In HSDS, Zhang Wuji retracted his full palm against Zhou Zhiruo.

    Was this concept featured in SPW or DGSD? Now, in the 3rd ed of DGSD, I'm aware that Jin Yong made Xiao Feng illustrate the retractable function of XL18Z, but how about from the 2nd ed?

    We know that even an expert of SWORD GOD Zhuo Bufan's level was unable to retract a stance once executed, as we saw him plunge the tip of a delicate sword 1 foot deep into a granite pole.

    I think LHC retracted his sword to prevent impaling fang sheng's hand.

    Abbot Fangzheng was able to retract his palm LDA while in mid-air. In fact, Ren Woxing was counting on Fangzheng to do so during their fight at Shaolin.

    任我行所以胜得方證大師,純是使詐。他算准了對方心怀慈悲,自己突向余滄海痛下殺手,一來余人相距較遠,縱 欲救援也是不及,二來各派掌門与余滄海無甚交情,決不會干冒大險,舍生相救,只有方證大師卻定會出手。當此 情境之下,這位少林方丈唯有攻擊自己,以解余滄海之困,但他對方證大師擊來之掌偏又不擋不格,反拿對方要穴 。這一著又是險到了极處。方證大師雙掌擊他后腦,不必擊實,掌風所及,便能使他腦漿迸裂。他反擒余滄海之時 ,便已拿自己性命來作此大賭,賭的是這位佛門高僧菩薩心腸,眼見雙掌可將自己后腦擊碎,便會收回掌力。但方 證身在半空,雙掌擊出之后隨即全力收回,縱是絕頂高手,胸腹之間內力亦必不繼。他一拿一點,果然將方證大師 點倒。只是方證渾厚的掌力所及,已掃得他后腦劇痛欲裂,一口丹田之气竟然轉不上來。

    Hmm, I wonder how it's physically possible for one to "retract" his palm wind (especially the ones that are 20+ feet out).

    The easy answer is Jin Yong never majored in Physics. (I think ...)
