As the saying goes: there is no first in literature, and there is no second in martial arts. However, martial arts also include many aspects such as martial arts cultivation and actual combat. Below, the old man of Lei Luo will combine factors such as martial arts talent, tricks and combat achievements to analyze how the martial arts of the East Evil Yellow Medicine Master, the West Crazy Yang Guo, the Southern Monk Yideng Master, the Northern Xia Guo Jing, and the Middle Naughty Boy Zhou Botong should be ranked in the third Huashan Sword Debate. 
One: Zhou Botong loves martial arts and becomes obsessed, and his martial arts cultivation has reached the highest level, and it should be undisputed that Zhou Botong is as simple as a child, and he has nothing else to do in his life except for martial arts. Back then, Wang Chongyang took Zhou Botong to Dali and exchanged the "One Yang Finger" stunt with Nandi Duan Zhixing with "innate skills". When Zhou Botong was teaching Ying Guifei martial arts, due to more physical contact, the two were confused for a while, and Liu Ying was also pregnant with Zhou Botong's child. In this regard, Zhou Botong ran away, not because he evaded responsibility, but because what he loved most was martial arts, and he didn't understand the responsibilities of men at all. Zhou Botong had no distractions, coupled with his high martial arts talent, which made him reach the realm of a first-class master at a young age. On Peach Blossom Island, after Zhou Botong got the "Nine Yin True Scripture" from Guo Jing, he also did not practice on his own. In addition, Zhou Botong also created magical martial arts such as "left and right fighting" and "Kongming Boxing". The former cannot be practiced without the purest mind, and the latter is inspired by Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching" to create the world's softest boxing method, before Zhang Sanfeng created Taijiquan, it can be said to represent the highest level of Taoist martial arts. In contrast, Guo Jing and Master Yideng did not have their own martial arts, and Yang Guo's Gloomy Ecstasy Palm had major flaws, which shows that the martial arts cultivation of these three people is not as good as Zhou Botong. As for Huang Yaoshi, in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", he is no longer Zhou Botong's opponent. It's just that because of old age and decay, in the battle of life and death, Zhou Botong may not be the opponent of Guo Jing and Yang Guo. 
Two: Guo Jing is resolute, hard work, ranked second in martial arts, first in actual combat Guo Jing's martial arts talent is not high, but he has a strength that would rather die than admit defeat, as well as perseverance. When Guo Jing practiced martial arts, if he couldn't practice once, he would practice twice, and if he couldn't do it twice, he would practice it three times......Even if he has to practice a thousand or ten thousand times, he will persist until he finishes practicing. Walking in the rivers and lakes, Guo Jing has been constantly encountered, and has successively learned the eighteen palms of the dragon, the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and the top martial arts such as fighting left and right. With incomparably resolute determination and hard work, Guo Jing has mastered these martial arts and practiced them to a level that even the founders have never reached. For example, he used the "Nine Yin True Scripture" to urge the eighteen palms of dragon descending, and when he hit it with one palm, there were thirteen different powers. At the beginning of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Guo Jing still beat Ouyang Feng to a serious injury even though he kept his hands, which shows the strength of his martial arts. By the time of the third Huashan sword debate, Guo Jing had experienced more than ten years of battlefield training, and his martial arts had reached a higher level. If Guo Jing fights with Zhou Botong and Yang Guo respectively, Guo Jing will inevitably win if everyone does their best. 
Here, the more controversial should be Guo Jing and Yang Guo, which is stronger and which is weaker, we can use their best martial arts to compare: first, Guo Jing's eighteen palms of dragon descent have been tempered thousands of times, almost perfect, Yang Guo's gloomy ecstasy palm has serious flaws According to Mr. Jin Yong's last revised ** version, in the Tianlong rivers and lakes, Xiao Feng once dominated the world with the twenty-eight palms of the dragon, and even the sweeping monk had broken a few ribs by his palm power. Later, Xiao Feng even turned these twenty-eight palms into eighteen palms, which was even more powerful than before. Later, Xiao Feng passed the upgraded eighteen palms of the dragon to Xuzhu, and asked him to choose talented people to teach, so it was passed down from generation to generation, and there were constantly amazing and brilliant people to improve the eighteen palms of the dragon, until the condor period, Hong Qigong passed the eighteen palms of the dragon to Guo Jing. Therefore, the eighteen palms of the dragon descending are martial arts that have been tempered by several generations, and it can be said that they are close to the realm of perfection. Look at the Gloomy Ecstasy Palm, this is the palm technique that Yang Guo inadvertently practiced after parting with Xiaolongnu for sixteen years, and in the state of mind of Gloomy Ecstasy. The Gloomy Ecstasy Palm is powerful, and the moves are mainly bizarre, which also draws on the principle of "Soul Shifting**" in the "Nine Yin True Scripture", and affects the opponent with his gloomy state of mind, so that he can't play normal skills. However, there is a serious flaw in the Gloomy Ecstasy Palm, that is, it must be used in conjunction with the mood of the Eclipse Ecstasy, otherwise the power of the fight will be greatly reduced. Obviously, with the palm **, there is still room for further improvement of the ecstasy palm, which is not as perfect as the almost perfect eighteen palms of dragon descending. Second, Yang Guo's palm power is not as good as Guo Jing's Yang Guo once used the Gloomy Ecstasy Palm to fight against Huang Yaoshi's Luoying Divine Sword Palm, Huang Yaoshi thinks that Yang Guo's Gloomy Ecstasy Palm, in terms of strength, can only be compared with Guo Jing's eighteen dragon-descending palms in the world. Of course, Huang Yaoshi's vision is fine, but everything in the world is constantly changing and developing. Huang Yaoshi's impression of Guo Jing's eighteen palms of dragon descent is still in the second Huashan sword period. As everyone knows, Guo Jing's cultivation of the "Nine Yin True Scripture" for many years is far from being comparable to the second Huashan Sword Debate. 
Yang Guo is a genius who practices martial arts, and he has a variety of high-quality martial arts such as the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, the Nine Yin True Scripture, and ** Gong, and later he was guided by the Condor, and honed a super internal force in the sea tides. However, Guo Jing has been making up for his clumsiness, step by step, coupled with the battle and killing the enemy on the battlefield, the internal strength he has cultivated is extremely solid, and his strength is above Yang Guo. Therefore, Yang Guo's palm power is not as good as Guo Jing's. Third, Guo Jing, who has sound hands and feet, is also better than Yang Guo, who has one arm, in terms of internal force output, and the so-called palm power is actually a problem of internal force output. The force of two palms is naturally much stronger than one palm. Yang Guo lost an arm because of a misunderstanding with Guo Fu, although after cultivation, his one-handed Gloomy Ecstasy Palm is also very powerful, and the empty sleeves can also emit strong strength, but when he encounters an opponent with similar skills, the empty sleeves can only be said to be better than nothing. What's more, Guo Jing can also fight with both hands, and the two hands can use different moves, and Yang Guo is not an opponent. It can be seen that Yang Guo cannot be Guo Jing's opponent. Three: Yang Guo is talented in martial arts, with infinite potential, ranking third When Yang Guo was about twenty years old, his internal strength had already reached a very high level, causing a long howl at night. With Huang Yaoshi's amazing talent, he also has to praise Yang Guo's internal strength to reach this realm, ten years earlier than himself. Looking at Yang Guo's cultivation of the top martial arts, he is better than Guo Jing, such as the Jade Maiden Heart Sutra, "Nine Yin True Scripture", * Gong, finger magic and so on. Later, Yang Guo took the strengths of other families and became his own faction. Under the guidance of the Condor, he cultivated into the tidal internal force and heavy sword technique, and then because of the life and death with the little dragon girl, he realized the magical martial arts of the Gloomy Ecstasy Palm, and became the Condor Hero admired by everyone in the rivers and lakes. When Huashan discussed the sword for the third time, Yang Guo was not yet forty years old, although he was not as good as Guo Jing in terms of martial arts refinement, and he was not as good as Zhou Botong in terms of martial arts cultivation, but his extremely high martial arts talent and age advantage made him have infinite potential to explore a higher level of martial arts. In "Heaven and Dragon Slayer", the stunning performance of Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu's descendant Yellow Shirt Girl seems to be used as evidence that Yang Guo has reached a higher realm. 
Four: Huang Yaoshi chased Yang Guo closely, ranking fourth Huang Yaoshi is a genius in the sky, in addition to having a variety of superb martial arts such as "Finger Magic", "Luoying Divine Sword Palm", "Orchid Whisk Acupointist" and other superb martial arts, even "poetry and songs, medical divination and astrology, farmland and water conservancy" and so on are all understandable. His "snapping fingers" stunt is enough to compete with the top martial arts such as "One Yang Finger", "Gong", and "Eighteen Palms of Dragon Descending". Huang Yaoshi knows a lot about martial arts, which enables him not to be easily restrained when fighting others, but to choose more suitable martial arts according to the characteristics of his opponent, so as to defeat his opponent. Unlike Ouyang Feng's "** skill", he was restrained by the Southern Emperor's "Yiyang Finger", and was also used by Wang Chongyang to point down, which made his skills rewind for more than ten years. Originally, with Huang Yaoshi's martial arts, it was enough to tie for third place with Yang Guo, but he was afraid of being less strong, which was an unbreakable truth. While Huang Yaoshi is more experienced than Yang Guo, his qi and blood strength are not as good as Yang Guo, who is in the prime of life, which is also a fact that he has to admit. In "The Condor Heroes", Huang Yaoshi used his "snap of his fingers" against Yang Guo's "Gloomy Ecstasy Palm", but he was defeated. But if Huang Yaoshi is also in the prime of life, the battle situation may not be the case. 
Five: The master of one lamp is ranked last, and the master of the lamp is ranked last. He is also very old like Zhou Botong and Huang Yaoshi, and during the Condor period, Master Yideng mainly practiced Buddhism, and in order to ignite Qiu Qianren, he was seriously injured many times, and his martial arts were naturally delayed a lot. Therefore, in the third Huashan Sword Debate, it should be ranked last. To sum up, the third Huashan sword, the five unique martial arts rankings are Zhou Botong, Guo Jing, Yang Guo, Huang Yaoshi, and Yideng.
