Laughing Proudly Across the Heavens: The Ultimate Martial Arts Showdown

Even a dog raised on Mount Hua would be more useful than Linghu Chong.

A common misconception in martial arts novels is that martial arts techniques must be bizarre, ruthless, and merciless. However, in Jin Yong and Gu Long's works, these techniques are all dependent on the person and their personality. The Nine Yin Manual in Zhou Zhiruo's hands is insidious and vicious, while in the hands of the woman in yellow, it is grand and majestic.

What I can't stand is seeing Lao Yue portrayed as an innocent white lotus, as if his bad behavior is all the fault of his environment and his apprentice. It's understandable that fanfiction was written this way at first; it was just a different perspective. But later on, it was all authors and readers who just parroted others and took things out of context after reading a few fanfictions.

This book still has some flaws... For example, the Dugu Nine Swords requires so many points. Wouldn't it be better to just max out one internal skill? Then add a sword technique, and I reckon you could easily defeat a beginner in the Dugu Nine Swords... It's simply a thankless task...

After reading many posts, I've noticed many people saying to stop defending Yue Buqun. They're all just stating their opinions based on their own feelings, and so am I. Now, let's talk about how it's not objective to consider a person without considering the broader context. Everyone says Yue Buqun is a bad guy, a hypocrite.

Here's a suggestion for the author: write less about women; women will only negatively impact the quality of your writing. It's not that women are bad, but the women you write about are hard to describe. The first one who comes out is always crying and acting like a doormat. She can cry three or four times in just a few thousand words in a chapter.

Many people think that what is written now is about whitewashing Yue Buqun. So, if you were in ancient times, would you like to have Yue Buqun or Linghu Chongla around you? This is a matter of perspective. I would rather be surrounded by fellow disciples like Yue Buqun than be pitied like Linghu Chong. No matter in any era, the butt determines the head, this is the foundation of the world.

This is the best wuxia fanfiction I've seen recently. The author has a lot of ideas, especially excelling in environmental descriptions and character development. I hope it finishes soon. Keep it up!

Learn a whole bunch of martial arts, but instead of maxing out the Hunyuan Gong first, go and learn things like the Dugu Nine Swords. Will you even be able to overcome ten techniques with sheer force? Then kidnap a bunch of martial arts masters to grind experience points every day, and you'll be unstoppable in no time.

I hate wielding swords. It's ridiculous how swordplay is so prevalent in novels these days. I hope that in the future, unarmed swordsmanship can also be performed with the hands; that would be much more impressive. In Jin Yong's novels, all the great masters are unarmed; even the Sword Demon is more powerful without a sword, transcending the limitations of physical objects.
