Was the Taoist priest the second best fighter in the Heaven and Earth Society?

[Ken Cheng]

Who was the second best fighter in the Heaven and Earth Society after leader Chan Guan Nam? Was it the Taoist priest? How great was the difference in martial arts level between the Taoist and Leader Chan?

because he ranked second leader in society , so yes he is the second best fighter
and because chen jialuo is still young , so their level margin should not be that far

The Heaven & Earth Society from Duke of Mount Deer, not the Red Flower Society from Book & Sword!

No, even in WXB's branch (the 'green wood' branch), the best fighter by far was Feng Jizhong (Kangxi's spy in the society). However, the difference between him and Chen Jinnan should be vast, as he (and the other fighters in the branch) were toyed with effortlessly by Gui Zhong. By contrast, GZ had a hard time with Wu Liuqi, and had to double-team him with his mother in order to kill him. It is hard to say where Chen Jinnan stands compared with Wu Liuqi due to a lack of reference points for fighting ability, but I would guess maybe he is a level or so higher?

In the sense that they were both fighting for a lost cause.

They also had the same (admittedly very common) surname.
