Not reduced but 史火龙 don’t have enough 内功 to master 18palms. He mastered till 12 palms before he got crippled. The 降龙十八掌in 倚天 era is even more discounted version.
but with only 12 it should be very powerful... like wuji lv only 6

from the time of condor trilogy all the way to xiao ao, there must have been at least one practitioner of dugu 9 sword in order for it to be passed down right. since it is supposed to be so OP, where was this person/persons? no mention even when people coin the 5 greats.

Yup. In 倚天era knowing 12 discounted palm can considered tier 1 alr. 张三丰 is the strongest and can’t possible that 张无忌 fight him mah. So 金庸 created the 3 monks to match him.

鸠摩智 is another talented but 武痴 that wants the best 武功. He got 小无相功,少林72 from慕容博. 石破天 got no link to 天龙/射雕. But some people speculate that 虚竹was the one that left those drawings in the cave.(Who knows) 杨过emo palm can rival 郭靖/洪7‘s 降龙十八掌 but not necessary stronger and also based on emo-ness. 乔峰and虚竹 refine 降龙二十八掌 to 降龙十八掌. 降龙十八掌 in 天龙's era(100%) is different from 射雕's era(80%). It's like 易筋经 in 天龙 is purer and better than 易筋经 in 笑傲江湖. Same skill name doesn't mean same output. The latter the era the weaker.
Until now I still dun quite get how 小无相功 works though. Why does it allow the user to emulate almost every move out there? Can explain?

Never said who passed down 独孤九剑. So most likely 风青杨 learned from big bird or found the skills in manual scroll or crafted on the wall. 独孤should exist in between 天龙and 射雕. Most likely he’s dead else he should know about the 5 greats and went to join 华山论剑. Whether hes OP or not also hard to say. During that timeline, XiaoFeng dead, Xuzhu, DuanYu retired. Sweeper monk probably dead too. Not many left to fight with. Like 张三风 never really fight, basically outlive most of his opponents. Or like 剑神卓不凡 in 天龙is “strong” till he sway and met XuZhu.

Yea the palm is top tier, is the practitioner not that power perhaps. Zhang Wu Ji rather lucky to be able learn 乾坤 because of his earlier inner qi injury as it was touted one of the most difficult skills to learn

I like the history part of his novels.

Characters that appeared in his novels like Kangxi, Kublai Khan, Genghis khan, Li Zicheng.

Learned a lot of China's history from his novels.

When QiaoFeng witness DuanYu fight with MuRongFu, he mention that if it's him, he probably would lose to DuanYu too. 六脉神剑 is basically shooting invisible qi from a long range. Enemy can't see the shooting qi, so how would they be able to block. DuanYu pew pew and MuRongRu catches it, his sword exploded. 天龙八部 era has another skill called 生死符, which is a deadly 暗器. Basically you have can only dodge if you try to defend it, most likely you will get hit. "风清扬还提到过独孤九剑的设定:“独孤九剑,有进无退!招招都是进攻,攻敌之不得不守,自己当然不用守了." Which means that you can't even enter 3m radius to DuanYu when he is shooting 六脉神剑, so how would your sword even reach him? So you can only block or dodge. 六脉神剑 requires very high 内功,so don't think will die off easily from exhaustion bah.
Yes, 段誉with 六脉神剑,凌波微步and 北冥神功 was a lethal combi. I think at a later stage in life with mastery, he would have been 当今独步.

碧血钗 is something of a semi-biography for 袁崇焕.
