Although Jin Yong once mentioned that the most powerful protagonist in his pen is Zhang Wuji, in the minds of most people, the strongest protagonist in his pen should be Xiao Feng in the "Eight Parts of the Heavenly Dragon", on the configuration of martial arts, Zhang Wuji is naturally better, Jiuyang Shengong, Qiankun Great Shift, Taiji, Sacred Fire Order, ordinary people can run amok in martial arts when practicing one of these moves, but Zhang Wujie is repeatedly frustrated in actual combat, and Xiao Feng is not, you can even use "invincible" to describe him, in addition to facing the sweeping monk who is impossible to be defeated, Xiao Feng was never defeated.

Why is Xiao Feng so strong? Or why is he so strong? In fact, Jin Yong gave a reason in the book, how high Xiao Feng's upper limit is, maybe even Xiao Feng himself does not necessarily know the roots.
First, Xiao Feng's record
How brilliant is Xiao Feng's record? Before the main story of the book, his mentor Wang Jiantong had already set up many barriers for him in order to test him, and Xiao Feng lived up to expectations, passing through the three major problems and making seven great achievements, during which it was not known how many people had been defeated under him.
In the era when the main story takes place, Xiao Feng has a brilliant performance in three major events, namely the Battle of Juxian Zhuang, the Battle of Shaomu Mountain, and the Battle of Song and Liao.
First look at the Battle of Juxian Zhuang, Zhongyuan Qunxiong is running to take his life, every shot is fierce, but how do you see Xiao Feng's performance?
The original said: "After Qiao Feng killed people, he was even more frantic, flying with a single knife, his right hand was suddenly fisted, and the left hand steel knife slashed straight and straight, and the power was unstoppable, but he saw that the white wall was splashed with blood bit by bit, and a lot of corpses fell in the hall, some with different heads, and some with broken limbs." At this time, he could no longer be merciful to the old people of the beggar gang, and he had no time to distinguish the faces of his opponents, and his eyes were red, and he killed everyone. Elder Xi even died under his sword. ”

At this time, Xiao Feng was like Xiao Yuanshan, his father who had killed the four parties at Yanmen Pass, and Xiao Feng, who had entered the state of battle, was really like a fierce tiger, and no one could stop him at all.
And in the Battle of Shaomu Mountain, he did not retreat in the face of the combination of You Tanzhi, Ding Chunqiu and Murong Fu, and only said domineeringly, "You three go up together", and then began to fight, but this battle did not last long, but in terms of momentum, Xiao Feng had already defeated the other three too many.
Finally, in the Great Battle of Song and Liao, Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu captured Emperor Liao, while Xiao Feng snatched Emperor Liao from them with one enemy and two enemies.
The original said: "Both of them were shocked, and when they saw the palm force coming, they had to raise their palms to block the frame, banging twice, the four palms collided, the palm wind stirred, Xiao Feng rushed forward, and took advantage of the situation to pull Yelü Hongji over." ”

In this case, Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu were all out of instinct, and it was naturally difficult to leave any spare strength, but Xiao Feng suppressed the two righteous brothers, you know, these two people have experienced a series of adventures, known as the "Heavenly Dragon Second Hanging" master.
As mentioned earlier, in addition to facing the sweeping monks who were completely impossible to defeat, Xiao Feng's record was really impressive.
Second, Xiao Feng's martial arts configuration
Is Xiao Feng so powerful because of his outstanding martial arts configuration? Not necessarily.
Taking Zhang Wuji as an example, the previous article mentioned the term martial arts configuration, that Zhang Wuji's Qiankun Great Shift can divert the world's martial arts for its own use, the Nine Yang God function provides a steady stream of internal force, Taiji can be attacked and defended, and the holy fire makes it strange and unpredictable.
On the other hand, what is Xiao Feng's martial arts configuration? Descending Dragon Eighteen Palms, Dragon Capture Gong, Dragon Claw Hand, Descending Demon Palm, Taizu Long Fist, in addition to Taizu Long Fist is unremarkable, which other move is not the top divine skill? But the problem is that homogenization is severe, focusing only on offense, and being very weak on the defensive end.
Looking at the internal gong again, Aju once said such a sentence, the original said: "You used to learn the art with the Master of Xuan ku, I think you are still young, did not learn the superb internal skills of the Shaolin Sect, otherwise dali Duan's Yang Finger would be even more powerful, and it may not be on top of the Shaolin Sect Dharma Laozu's "Yi Jian Jing". ”

Of course, Aju's statement may not be correct, after all, Xiao Feng later sent internal strength to Ah Zi for Ah Zi's life for several consecutive days, which is enough to prove that his internal strength is not low, and the aforementioned Xiao Feng can simultaneously repel Duan Yu and Virtual Bamboo, which also shows that the internal force is extremely deep, if his internal strength is not good, when he contacts the two righteous brothers, I am afraid that he will be sucked away by the two of them.
So what is the reason for Xiao Feng's strength? And look at what Jin Yong wrote when he was alone in Shaolin.
Third, yourself in the mirror
In order to investigate the mystery of his own life, Xiao Feng went to the Shaolin Temple alone, and an oolong incident occurred in the temple.
The original said: "At a glance, I saw a large man's figure flashing behind him quickly and abnormally, and the speed of his body was rare." Qiao Feng was taken aback: "Good hand, who is this person?" Turning back to the palm to protect the body, turning back, I couldn't help but laugh dumbly, only to see that the opposite side was also a big man standing obliquely with one palm, guarding the face door, with his chest pulling back, and his breath was condensed like Yue, and the original Buddha statue in the apse was installed in front of a screen, and the screen was equipped with a huge copper mirror, which was polished and shiny, and his own figure was illuminated in the mirror. ”

The speed of this mirror's human method even Xiao Feng sighed, but it wasn't right! Isn't the person in the mirror Xiao Feng himself? Xiao Feng's exclamation became boastful, and it was really not his Versailles, but it showed a fact, that is, Xiao Feng did not know how high his ceiling was.
Xiao Feng's every shot is actually not considering the consequences at all, such as the Juxian Zhuang Battle and ShaomuShan facing the three villains, in the eyes of others, he should have no chance of winning, but he can always pass the pass smoothly, because he does not know how strong he is, nor does he care how strong he is, just throws himself into the battle, like a combat machine, how can such Xiao Feng not be strong?
