by a philosopher you mean a martial arts theorist? and not a practictioner?

Zhang Sanfeng might be as good as Dugu Qiubai as a "philosopher" even better but in terms of overall skills he is far below Dugu Qiubai level..

Chow Chi Yerk acquired the Hong Lung 18 Palms manual as well, but it was personally useless to her because Hong Lung 18 Palms was not suitable for...

Great points about the rarity of HL18Z and about the implausibility of shoving paper into blades! You're 100% right, that would leave an empty space...

that would be cool if jttw 2 bring back all cast including minor characters. minus villains.

I just remember there was tv adaptation (including 2019) heaven sword contain 9yin manual and HL18Z and then it change into Daohua Map where the...

9Yin Manual has caused a lot of chaos within wulin fighters and he didn't want his disciples involved. Furthermore after he read 9yin manual, he...

Yeah good discussion and good examples. Conversely, you could say Genghis was the most powerful and influential person in the trilogy not because of...

The Mo Yungs learned the hard way that the road to conquest doesn't go through wulin. Occasionally, however, individual martial arts prowess has...

Yeah ultimately you have to have strength through numbers. People act like just because your martial arts is #1 you are invincible and can do...

That was the failsafe. Gwok Jing and Wong Yung trusted that the right people would be able to bring the weapons together and the wrong people...

I think ultimate kung fu is ultimately meaningless in terms of ruling and keeping power. If you're a tyrant you'll be constantly living under the...

Oh c,mon. Even in the right hands they cant crack it open unless you have both so its useless. If you already expect an act of destiny to solve...

Medieval people, including those in Chinese wulin, were people of faith. In their belief system, Heaven would guide the weapons to the individual(s)...

Which mean Wang Chongyang not proud enough 🤭🤭🤭🤭

That was a secret never meant to be discovered by the world.

Yeah but not long before he died he ended up with 9 Yin to counter Lin Chaoying's Jade Maiden Sword..

Because he didn't want to be accused of favoritism towards his own sect or for people to say that he only achieved the # 1 in wulin of his time...

But why did Wang Chongyang forbid all his sect members to learn from the 9 Yum Jen Ging?

There's nothing innately "demonic" about 9 Yum Jen Ging. Some of the users perverted it either because they didn't have the complete manual (Mui...

But too bad we never see The Zhenwu Formation in the "ultimate form" like Quanzhen Big Dipper or Shaolin Evil Subduing Rings..

Pre-16 HIS Yang Guo much better than Wuji in terms of weaponry not only limited in "swordplay" though Wuji much better in pure martial arts/skills...

Wang Chongyang has shown he was willing to learn a new style outside of his martial arts, as long as it's not demonic like in the 9 Yin manuals. ...

I think we would have to make assumptions based on personality. Some of them are more ambitious and honorable than others. Hong Qigong was...
