Has Yang Guo's Kung Fu surpassed Guo Jing's?
Whether Yang Guo's martial arts surpassed Guo Jing's was a controversial question. In Jin Yong's novel, The Condor Heroes, Yang Guo's martial arts reached a very high level in the later stages, but Guo Jing's martial arts had already reached a very high level in the early stages. Therefore, it was hard to say whose martial arts skills were better. In the novel, Yang Guo's martial arts had improved greatly after he learned Dugu Qiubai's sword technique. His swordsmanship was superb, comparable to Guo Jing's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. However, Guo Jing's martial arts had already reached a very high level in the early stages. His internal strength and moves were very exquisite. Therefore, it was hard to say whose martial arts skills were better. In general, Yang Guo's martial arts had reached a very high level in the later stages, but Guo Jing's martial arts had already reached a very high level in the early stages. Therefore, it was hard to say whose martial arts skills were better.
