Friends who have watched the "Fengyun" comic know that there are many top martial arts in the first part of the comic, such as sword twenty-three, ten thousand swords returning to the sect, immortal golden body, shattered heaven and absolute hands, etc., when they first appeared, these martial arts were more powerful than one, but what is puzzling is that the top martial arts of the first part were collectively reduced to cannon fodder martial arts in the third part of "Fengyun", and only a very small number of them turned over as masters, what is going on?

The martial arts of the first part have lost their freshness and it is normal to be eliminated
As we all know, "Wind and Cloud" is a comic that has been serialized for more than ten years, it is extremely long, I remember a total of 675 words, which can be said to be an epic masterpiece in the comic book industry, and in such a long serial time, readers will inevitably feel boring, at this time, some new things are needed to make readers feel fresh again, and the first top martial arts was eliminated precisely because of the loss of freshness.
Friends who have read the manga should know that these top martial arts in the first part are very powerful when they first appear, and the settings are also very attractive, such as the Ten Thousand Swords Guizong that can absorb the skills of others, the shattered heavenly hands that can beat the boxing gods into meat foam with one blow, the so-called impeccable immortal golden body, etc. Although these martial arts disappeared in the later stages, it is undeniable that their settings are very attractive.
However, readers have aesthetic fatigue, the first part of the martial arts is their earliest contact, the most contact with the martial arts, with the development of the plot, readers will inevitably get tired of these martial arts, if six hundred words come back and forth is these martial arts, it is estimated that the "Wind and Cloud" research is cool, this time the author must develop a new martial arts to attract attention, over time, the new martial arts are more and more powerful, the setting is more and more against the sky, the first part of the martial arts is naturally eliminated.
In the third part, there are many upper-ranking substitutions for the first martial arts
I also said above, in order to maintain freshness, the author can only continue to develop new martial arts, no matter how powerful the author is also a man rather than a god, he can not create new things without restriction, over time, naturally will be used before the setting to change the name to take out and use again, and this led to the first part of the top martial arts in the third part has a superior replacement.
For example, the Immortal Golden Body, which is absolutely godless, is known as absolute defense, but in the third part, there is the Heavenly Silence Qi Armor and the Xuan Yin Training Armor, these two martial arts defenses far exceed the Immortal Golden Body, and there is no so-called hood door, which is completely an upgraded version of the Immortal Golden Body.
Another example is the Ten Thousand Swords Returning to the Sect, it can absorb the power and recover the injury, the first part can be called all-powerful, but the Second Part of the Sacred Heart Technique, the third part of the Red Fire Divine Gong have the same function, and their ability to absorb the power and recovery ability are stronger than the Ten Thousand Swords Returning Sect, in this case, the Ten Thousand Swords Returning Sect can only be eliminated.
Looking at the "Wind and Cloud" trilogy, most of the martial arts in the first part have been replaced by superiors, and it is normal for the collective to become cannon fodder in this case, but this is also no way, who let the author not study a more powerful setting? It can also be seen from the comic that the author has indeed reached the limit, and several settings such as absorbing power in the later stage and recovering from injuries come and go.
The combat strength was too high, and the martial arts of the first part were powerless
We all know that the late combat power of the "Wind and Cloud" series collapsed, the old characters were never as strong as the new characters, and the old martial arts were always crushed by the new martial arts, in fact, this can not be said to be the problem of the "Wind and Cloud" comic, because most of the Hong Kong comics of that era were like this, in order to highlight the strength of the new characters and weaken the old characters without limits.
The martial arts of the first part of "Wind and Cloud" were indeed very fierce when they first appeared, but in the third part of the collapse of combat power, these martial arts have not been able to keep up with the times, they are not good in terms of setting or power, it is normal to be eliminated, even the first god-level martial arts sword twenty-three, it is only after upgrading to the highest version that it is necessary to regain its own card face, before which various people have been dissolved, and those martial arts that cannot be upgraded naturally have no possibility of turning over as masters.
