Seriously....
Qiao Feng is the charismatic chief of the Beggars' Sect who possesses strong leadership qualities and is perhaps the strongest/ most willed character in this novel. His internal energy is among the best(if not the best) and possesses the original "18 dragon subduing palms" which is considered the strongest version before refining it into a more orthodox version and ordering Xu Zhu to pass it on to the next leader so it wouldn't bring extreme chaos to the wulin world(he knows how powerful it can be and ultimately he realizes that sometimes he is also the victim of the skill because all the chaos it adds to the problems he already had) towards the end of the novel. Guo Jing possessed the refined version but was missing several alternate palm stances that were removed by Qiao. But still even that version was considered the most powerful skill for the next generations(proved by Guo Jing when he beat everyone in his prime day using it). When Qiao Feng fought the Sweeper Monk(who had 100 years worth of internal energy, access to every Shaolin Sect kung fu manual, lived there his entire life. Although some suspected he was an elder of the "Xiao Yao Sect" residing in Shaolin Sect to steal manuals.) the monk mentions that Qiao Feng's 18 palms is the strongest force in the world and was amazed because at that time no one could even stand a chance going up against the sweeper monk but Xiao Feng put the monk off his toes and made him feel loose for the first time although Qiao Feng would ultimately be defeated. He had tremendous tenacity and showed that when his allies were ambushed and he was forced into a trapped temple. He managed to save his comrades but he was poisoned by the "Jinx Palms" and coincidently this was the night before the Wulin Tournament at Mount Hua but was still able to defeat Murong Fu(later revealed as the culprit to who ordered the hit on Qiao Feng).
