What the word "internal force" refers to specifically, even people who claim to be senior martial arts fans are difficult to summarize clearly, but one thing is certain, most martial arts stories have similar settings, that is, the deeper the internal force, the higher the strength, and the key point that determines the victory or defeat in the duel of the top masters lies in the word "internal force".
In the Jin Yong martial arts system, who is the person with the deepest internal strength? Whenever this kind of problem is discussed, the most easily associated with it is the two protagonists of Duan Yu and Xuan Zhu in "Tianlong Babu", who have transformed from unknown people into top masters, relying on internal forces that are difficult for ordinary people to reach, especially that Duan Yu, which has sucked away the internal strength of more than twenty people.

How is Duan Yu's strength compared to Zhang Wuji, who is known as "the strongest protagonist of Jin Yong's whole book"?
First, the internal force of Duan Yu
Compared with Duan Yu and Virtual Bamboo, which party has a deeper internal force? From the surface, the virtual bamboo is to suck away the internal strength of the three elders, but Wuyazi is already a person with a wind candle, and he has been living with internal force for many years, and the internal force is afraid that it is not too pure, and Tianshan Tong Yao and Li Qiushui are only sucked away the remaining part of the internal force, although the internal force of the virtual bamboo is very comparable, but compared to Duan Yu, it seems to be almost meaningless.
Duan Yu's advantage was that he had directly learned the Northern Meditation Divine Gong, and as long as he was willing, he could still absorb more of the master's internal strength, but even if he only looked at the internal force he absorbed in the main story, it was already considered to be the level of Zhen Gu Shuo.

He first sucked away the internal strength of the seven disciples of the Infinite Sword Sect, those seven were just miscellaneous fish level, almost negligible, and in the Battle of the Ten Thousand Disasters Valley, Duan Yu sucked away part of the internal strength of Duan Yanqing, Ye Erniang, Yue Laosan, Yunzhong He, Zhong Wanqiu, Cui Baiquan, and Huang Mei Monk, which was full of gold, and it can be said that the internal strength of Duan Yu at this time was enough to be compared with the first-class masters in the martial forest.
Then in the Tianlong Temple, Duan Zhengming and the four senior monks of the Tianlong Temple were also sucked away by him, and if it were not for Ku Rong's interruption, those few people would have to be sucked to death by him.
Mantuo Mountain Villa sucked away Yan Mama's internal strength, almost negligible.

Then later in the Western Xia Horse Election, he sucked up the internal force of Hatsuma Zhi's life in the dry well, which was the internal force with the highest gold content, and the internal force of the period yu was already the deepest level in the book.
However, Zhang Wuji, who is praised by Jin Yong as the first protagonist of the book, does not seem to be weaker than him.
Second, Zhang Wuji's Nine Yang Divine Gong
Duan Yu's Northern Meditation Divine Gong, which could absorb the internal strength of others, was already a "foul" existence, but the Nine Yang Divine Gong that Zhang Wuji had learned was not inferior, but it was strong from another angle.
The strength of the Nine Yang Divine Gong is that it allows the user to have a steady stream of internal forces, which is emphasized in the book.

The original said: "But under the scorching sun, in the yellow sand, running for three days and three nights is really not easy to talk about, he ran until the evening, his mouth was dry and his lips were dry, and his whole body was sweating like rain." But it was also strange to say that there was no tiredness under his feet, and the Nine Yang Divine Skills that had been accumulated for several years were exerted bit by bit, and the more he exerted his strength, the more energetic he became. ”
Zhang Wuji ran for three days and three nights in a row not only did not exhaust himself, but became more and more energetic, you can imagine how "god" this Nine Yang Divine Gong is, perhaps some people want to say, Jue Yuan also learned the Nine Yang Divine Gong that year, why did he die of exhaustion? In fact, it was very simple, Zhang Wuji opened the entrances through all parts of his body in that Qiankun air bag, and jueyuan had such an adventure? In the words of the book, "No one has ever encountered such an opportunity, and this treasure bag has been broken, and no one has had such a chance encounter since." ”
In this way, Duan Yu has the internal strength of hundreds or even hundreds of years on the surface, but Zhang Wuji has an unfathomable internal force, such as comparing their strength, or from the perspective of actual combat, it is the most intuitive.
Third, the hard and rigid enemies show a gap
Both of them have a record of being head-on with people in the book, and as mentioned earlier, if the master duel is just positive, it is not a move, but the depth of the internal force, and you see how Duan Yu, who has absorbed the internal strength of more than twenty masters, behaves when facing Murong Fu?
The original said: "Murong Fu saw that he came very quickly, and he slapped his backhand and hit him in the face. Duan Yu's right cheek was covered with blood, and tears of pain also flowed down. His Ling Bo micro-step was originally very magical, when he was cast, it was really difficult for others to hit his body, but this time he was attacking others, so carelessly grabbed, could he catch Murong Gusu, who was the best in martial arts? Give him a slap, Duan Yu will not dodge, immediately open the flesh, miserable. ”
Duan Yu's performance at this time can only be described by the word "breaking defense", although his internal strength is deep, he still can't stop Murong Fu from striking, directly opening the flesh, which shows the disparity in strength, but do you think that if this palm hit Zhang Wujie, who was pregnant with the Nine Yang Divine Skills, the skin was open and fleshy, I was afraid that Murong Fu himself, right?
Looking at Zhang Wuji's experience, he also had a head-on confrontation with Ah Er in the Battle of Wudang.
The original said: "I wanted to take his body crooked, but I didn't expect that the internal force was too strong, and I was so sticky that I fell out of a step." Zhang Wuji's ambitions rose sharply. I thought to myself, "I'll compete with you, and see if your Western Shaolin Inner Gong is strong, or my Nine Yang Divine Gong is strong." Seeing him slap and split, he also slapped his palm, it was a hard and hard fight, there was no room for maneuver, the two palms intersected, a loud bang, both of them were shaking. ”
This is the performance of mastering internal forces, being tough with people, even if you can't defeat the enemy, you won't let yourself be hurt.
Being tough with people is undoubtedly the time when the internal strength can be best reflected, and the performance of Duan Yu and Zhang Wuji in similar situations is far from the same, so although Duan Yu's internal strength is extremely deep and far from Zhang Wuji's opponent, Jin Lao believes that Zhang Wuji is the strongest protagonist in his pen, and it is not unreasonable.
