    Default The Peak of Accomplishments for Jin Yong characters

    What are the top 3 greatest feats of martial arts displayed by each Jin Yong character?

    This is about results only, i.e. what happened for a fact; words of praise alone have NO value here.

    What I ask is that:

    1. the feats be mildly reasonable. Just don't name something like "Person A defeated Person B in one stance", if Person A was in perfect condition but Person B was tied up, half dead, and helpless.

    2. please include the circumstances leading to the success of the feat, since context is always important.

    MOTIVATION: when comparing martial arts between characters, it's not uncommon to see comparisons of one's greatest feat to another's worst feat. To make the comparison more equal, let's try to compare each character's top 3 greatest feats only.

    I'll start. Please submit a report for your favorite characters. Any level fighter is welcome.

    Xiao Feng
    1. Launching a series of multiple LDAs starting from from 150 feet away, the farthest in Jin Yong universe
    2. When going all out, demonstrated the ability to kill a Xuan-generation monk in one stance
    3. Injured the Sweeper Monk and made him vomit blood

    Since he's such a hot topic recently:

    Sweeper Monk

    1. Killed Murong Bo in one stance and later to Xiao Yuanshan.
    2. Resurrected two "dead" men after being hit by Xiao Feng and running at least as fast as Xiao Feng while carrying two bodies.
    3. Shoved Jiu Mozhi away with a swing of his sleeves. / Raised two Xuan monks with his mental will.

    Linghu Chong
    1. Blinded 15 men nearly simultaneously. While he was injured and couldn't summon his internal energy without having it backfire on him. Also the 15 men were not weak, and were cautious and alert to anything he might have tried.

    2. Anticipated and pre-emptively attack opponents that moves 'like a blur'/faster than he can see.

    3. Defeated the Taiji swordplay of Chongxu, the most addept user of said swordplay his era.

    I would say that within a few nights he learned enough sword play to beat someone who use to have no problems creaming him. But that's more of an intellectual feat than a martial one.

    GLFW

    Beat QQR after 1000 strokes (ie he actually beat someone significant!!)
    Would have beaten YG with HIS if it wasn't for XLN and her needle distraction
    Was looking strong vs. YD/ZBT. Of course HYS made him piss his pants.

    I think he's referring to the First Hero Meet when GWM took GJ's XL18Z head on and did not disperse the attack.

    If that is indeed what yittzie was referring to, I would definitely not consider it a "defeat" of GWM.

    Yittzie, you owe us an explanation.
    and where is the peak of accomplishments for the Yellow Pharmacist?

    I concur. I can't think of another instance of GWM vs GJ that even roughly fits this description.

    His first stance with Huang Rong on their wedding night I guess. When compared to that poor celibate monk, it was definitely GJ 1 GWM 0.

    I would expect GJ with his orthodox Quanzhen training to last more than one stance.

    Well, as I stated many time before, in the novel it was mentioned that he (GJ) can 'unleash his energy in 13 ascending waves of power.'
