I like Jin Yong's novel and has finished about 90% of his work. The balance of 10% are those that I have not encountered. I watch tv serials on his work also, sometimes, a bit off in the interpretation. Or the director of the tv feels that as a better interpretation.

六脉神剑 wins 独孤九剑 lo
Six Meridians Divine Sword i heard before, the most powerful of the Duan Royal Family arts, the Six Meridian Divine Swords requires a profound and abundant internal energy level to successfully wield it. Can 六脉神剑 win 降龍十八掌?

But Dugu Nine Swords I didn’t heard before at all?

Yup 六脉神剑 wins 降龙十八掌. Basically shoot qi from a distance like machine gun. But it requires a lot of 内功. 独孤9剑 created by 独孤求败 from inbetween 天龙八部and射雕era. 风青杨,令狐冲knows it. But are only a fraction of the creator. This skill appears in 神雕侠侣and 笑傲江湖.

How can 降龙十八掌 lose is the ultimate skill? Can 六脉神剑 win独孤九剑?

Practitioner shoot qi from a distance like machine gun will exhaust a lot of 内功 and die early?

六脉神剑 win独孤九剑?
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.

How did Duan Family's DuanYu learned the most powerful of the Duan Royal Family of Dali's arts?
DuanYu needs the help of his friend from the beggars guild chief QiaoFeng and Lingjiu Palace Master Xu Zhu to help him in his fight with MuRongFu?

The Beiming Power was a martial art of Xiaoyao Order that absorbed others’ inner energy for one’s own use to rapidly boost one’s inner energy. The name implies absorbing the inner energy of people in the world for one’s own use like how rivers flowed into the sea.

The scroll stated, “The first principle of this martial art is to accumulate inner energy. Once rich in inner energy, all the martial arts in the world will be mine to use. Just like the BeimingThis refers to the legendary underground sea at the north-most part of the world., boats big and small float upon it, fishes big and small live within it. Therefore, inner energy is first, while moves are last. Practice the following diagrams diligently.”

Duan Yu inadvertently absorbed the inner energy of many wulin experts. Thus, despite his age, he had immense inner energy. He later absorbed the inner energy of several masters in succession. Due to a series of coincidences, he drained Jiumozhi’s lifelong cultivation of inner energy, making Duan Yu’s inner energy unmatched in history.

When defending against an opponent using the lingbo footwork, one only had to move according to the sixty-four hexagrams without having to worry about the opponent’s presence. It was a legendary martial art with an unrestrained style that allowed the user to do whatever they wanted.

The first step to the last made a full circle. The footwork was ingenious and strange, allowing the user to dodge attacks from multiple enemies.

Like the Beiming Power, it was the Xiaoyao Order’s ultimate qinggong. It was not an exaggeration to consider it the top qinggong technique in the world. Derived from Fuxi’s sixty four hexagrams, it also helped with the cultivation of inner energy.

It was the skill that Duan Yu was most well-versed in.

The Spirit Blade of Six Meridians was the legendary martial art of the Duan Clan of Dali kept in the Tianlong Temple. It was created by the founding Emperor of Dali – Duan Siping.

It focused the inner energy into the fingers and released an invisible sword that could cut through any sword in the world, making it the finest sword in the world. As it was used by the fingers, many people mistakenly thought it was a finger technique.

The Spirit Blades of Six Meridians is actually a swordplay technique that used an invisible qi sword. It uses the Yiyang Finger to form the qi blade that was formless yet formidable and sharp.

The six meridians refer to the six standard meridians in the hands: Taiyin Lung Meridian, Shaoyin Heart Meridian, Taiyang Small Intestine Meridian, Yangming Large Intestine, and Shaoyang Triple Burner Meridian. Duan Yu learnt the skill through observation in the Dali Tianlong Temple. Although the Duan Clan ancestors forbade passing the skill down to secular descendants, there was no restrictions against secular descendants learning it without guidance.

Murong Fu regarded the martial art as one of the two unrivalled martial art gems alongside Shaolin Temple’s Yijin Jing. Duan Yu used the Spirit Blade to defeat Murong Fu on Mount Shaoshi and again on Mantuo Mountain Manor. Having seen the martial art with his own eyes, he exclaimed that it lived up to its reputation as the number one swordplay in the world.

鸠摩智 one of the 4 greats came to大理天龙寺 to get 六脉神剑 scroll for his friend 慕容博. 天龙寺 monks each learn 1 finger as theres no way they can learn 6 finger without high 内功. 段誉learned it while watching them practicing. 一阳指 is the base to learn 六脉神剑. 天龙era has 8-9 一阳指 user as compared to 射雕 which has only 1user. 大理 has 六脉神剑,一阳指,枯荣禅功. Only 一阳指 was passed down to 射雕/神雕. Even though 段誉 has 六脉神剑,凌波微步,北冥神功 with almost 200 years of 内功(at that time) but he just not interested in martial arts. That's why he loses to 慕容复 and needed 乔峰 to guide him. You can have OP skills but you're not gifted or talented, you will still lose to someone that has much lousier skills. 逍遥派 is the most powerful sect in the 武林. Simply learn 1 skill and you can become top tier fighter, let alone learn 2 and more skills. That's why in 天龙 era is the strongest and purest. If you put 射雕3部曲 characters into 天龙era, they won't be the top tier.
石破天 is another level character but not as popular and related to 天龙八部/射雕3部曲. Hence, not easy to compare with.

OP skills with OP gifted and talented will be ideal?

乔峰 is simply a bug. He’s born a fighter, gifted, talented. Able to master 擒龙功 which no one managed to master over hundred years. Able to use simple skills and adjust accordingly to the fight. He’s skill not so OP as compared to others. Next will be 张无忌. JinYong mentioned he’s the best matched in terms of skills, talent. If give 乔峰 段誉,虚竹’s skills, he will perfect them.
