However, these martial arts did not exist in reality. They were just the imagination and inspiration of the author of the novel.

Wuxia novels have experienced a low point in the past few years, but with the rise of online novels, the market for wuxia novels has begun to become active again. However, there were still some changes and challenges in the wuxia novel market compared to the past. 1. There are many types of online novels. Many martial arts novels cannot be widely recognized. Compared to online novels, the language style and plot setting of martial arts novels were different, and many readers found it difficult to adapt. 2. The cultural significance of martial arts novels in contemporary society has gradually disappeared, and people's consumption of them has gradually become more rational.

The existence of a martial arts master in a novel was a relatively subjective question, and it depended on the background, setting, and storyline of the novel. In some novels, martial arts experts might be fictional, created by the author according to his own imagination and creation. In other novels, martial arts masters existed in real life. They might exist in a martial arts sect, a martial arts community, or the army. In fact, the image of a martial arts expert had different meanings and explanations in different cultures and historical periods.

It usually referred to martial arts techniques passed down in a specific region or country.

These schools had their own inheritance systems and practice methods, and they had different characteristics and styles in different regions and cultural backgrounds.
