if you said that DGQB has perfected his DG9J during his 20s, then DGQB was unparalleled in his 20s, then it contradicted to ROCH's statement that said DGQB was unparalleled during his 30s.
Jin Yong made a mistake by giving 2 different informations and claim, thus making a plothole. This thread is no-ending debatable
topic, no wonder Athena or others lazy to reply. None of the replies or theories in this thread really give the best answer for me, none satisfy me, and i dont think there would be one in the future. Moreover, in the interview, Jin Yong indicated that DG9J > HIS .
if HIS is really that great and perfect, why Dugu never taught to his disciple or his heir? Feng Qingyang should also learned HIS technique instead of 9-Dugu , and taught LHC a HIS swordplay.
CC joked about DGQB in 2 stories were different people, even though it's a joke, but sometimes i feel it is so far the best answer that can cover the plothole, lolz.
i have my own theory, it's not a good theory, but everyone can express their own theory right?
i think the sentence said that "no longer hampered by any weapon" and "I can win battles without reaching for weapons" mean that DGQB was too strong that he didnt rely to any weapon, only using bare-handed or anything is enough to defeat his opponent.
so perhaps he use DG9J martial arts or theory or stance using bare-handed to defeat his opponent, because that's enough, no need for him to use a sword.
Feng Qingyang and Linghu Chong are not yet reach that level, using swordplay technique without a sword to defeat a first class fighter, this indicated how strong DGQB was in his era or... his opponents are too weak in his era.
but at least Feng Qingyang's understanding of DG9J is better than LHC, as how he lectured LHC in this quote
