Chapter 986 -914: May you wander half your life and still return as a youth

“Teacher Yi’an, the old rascal, really does stand with Chu Kuang, the old rascal. So this is the origin of the dispute over ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ plot, huh? Was Chu Kuang’s aim to push the emotional storyline between Yang Guo and Little Dragon Maiden to the extreme?”

“I was indeed deeply moved by the end.”

“The book starts as torturous as the ending is exhilarating. When I saw Yang Guo and Huang Yaoshi arriving together in flight, it was genuinely cool—the ‘Condor Hero’ making a return like a king, it hypes me up every time I see it!”

“You really do need to finish the entire book to calmly reflect on the earlier plot.”

“Teacher Yi’an puts it well, and while it’s true in principle, my heart still aches when I read those heart-wrenching scenes, perhaps I am just a vulgar reader, who only hopes for perfect male and female leads.”

“What a line, ‘I wish that after you’ve wandered half of your life, you could return still as young.'”

“When Yang Guo returns under the old rascal’s pen, he really is still that young man from before. In terms of personal charm, Yang Guo is no less impressive than Guo Jing.”

“Alright then.”

“It seems that once again, the old rascal has won and is probably off somewhere smugly chuckling to himself right now.”

“…”

With Chu Kuang speaking out and with Teacher Yi’an rounding things up, together with Professor Wang’s interpretation, public opinion completely shifted.

In the book reviews.

The line “I wish that after you’ve wandered half of your life, you could return still as young” became popular.

Countless netizens started quoting it: “Teacher Yi’an always seems to speak so eloquently. It is the case with ‘The Legend of Wukong’, even in a book review!”

It can only be said:

Most people were indeed furious with the early plot of ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’, but there were still many readers who gritted their teeth and continued reading.

And as this group of people grew, a turnaround in public opinion was just a matter of time.

Of course, this isn’t to say that everyone has completely accepted the heart-wrenching plot in the book without any misgivings.

It’s just that with the decrease in criticism, readers gained a deeper understanding of the story’s design and were able to offer their own evaluations more calmly and objectively.

“Love is something that can drive one to life-and-death pledges.”

In the background of Little Dragon Maiden and Yang Guo departing into the distance, there lies a resolute detachment from worldly fame and riches, unconcerned with how the world turns.

My only wish is to draw your brows daily, to revel in these stars with you, to live incognito without fame with you, and to grow old together face to face.

Who cares who the top warrior in the world is?

And that evening, parades and protests eventually quieted down and came to an end.

There were still some who were dissatisfied, but they learned to reconcile and ended up giving positive reviews of the subsequent content.

For a time.

Everyone was reflecting.

A martial arts author who finished the entire book exclaimed,

“That such a severe creative accident could also be resolved is in the end due to the content that follows in Chu Kuang’s novel, which gave readers more than they anticipated.”

That’s not wrong to say.

Black won’t turn white; the issues with a novel still have to be resolved by the quality of the novel itself. Some outcomes are inevitable, and other things like analysis or summaries are just icing on the cake.

After the plot where the dragon princess loses her virtue.

Yang Guo just left Mount Hua, met Guo Jing and Huang Rong again, and ultimately reunited with Little Dragon Maiden at the great hero’s feast, bringing the first climax to ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’

During the contest.

Zhu Ziliu fought Huodu with a pen in place of fingers.

Dalba’s vajra staff was defeated by the fishing hermit of Diancang.

And ultimately, all these plots are to pave the way for the male protagonist Yang Guo to take action.

Yang Guo, having learned martial arts from both Ouyang Feng and Hong Qigong, defeated Huodu and toyed with Dalba, making his name in a single battle.

Guo Fu, who bullied him as a child, along with big and little Wu, were soundly humiliated; in terms of martial skills and martial world influence, from this point on, they were no longer on the same level as Yang Guo.

The nearby Quanzhen sect members were even more dumbfounded.

This part of the storyline undoubtedly aimed to dilute the impact of the dragon princess losing her virtue.

After layers of suppression, the plot erupted in the most exhilarating way, directly driving the readers’ enthusiasm for reading.

Afterwards.

Whether it’s the Passionless Valley or the first encounter with the Condor, Yang Guo was always on the path to getting stronger, with countless exhilarating moments densely packed together.

From this point on.

The readers’ discussions and attention finally returned to ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes’ itself.

Just like when ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ was completed, there were extensive discussions on various forums about the multitude of plot points from the narrative.

For example, one question that readers were concerned about after finishing the book:

At the end of ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’, the title of the world’s top warrior in the second Duel Atop Mount Hua went to Ouyang Feng, who became insane after practicing the Nine Yin Manual in reverse.

This was the result of the second duel.

It was an official pronouncement within the Martial World.

And who exactly is the number one in the world at the end of “The Return of the Condor Heroes”?

Some say it’s Guo Jing, others say Zhou Botong, and some believe that the protagonist Yang Guo is second to none, claiming that he’s the true embodiment of the title. There’re even those who blurt out that Golden Wheel Imperial Adviser, with his ten-layer Dragon Elephant skill, is the real number one in the world. He was only momentarily careless and caught off guard by Yang Guo…

Opinions vary.

Each with its own reasoning.

One intriguing point that motivates everyone to think is:

Yang Guo’s adventures are even more intense than those of Guo Jing.

He learned Ouyang Feng’s Toad Skill, Hong Qigong’s Dog-Beating Staff, Wang Chongyang’s sword techniques created from the Nine Yin Manual, and later even Huang Yaoshi knew that he learned the Divine Fingering Skill.

The Five Greats of the world.

Yang Guo mastered four of them.

And there’s another character, a point of interest that countless people repeatedly mention:

Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat!

In the earlier parts of “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” he taught Yang Guo martial arts.

Even the heavy iron sword that Yang Guo wielded was inherited from Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat.

In a sense.

Yang Guo is considered to be a disciple of Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat.

And the description of Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat in the text has made countless readers daydream:

“Roaming the Martial World for over thirty years, he killed all his enemies, defeated all heroes, with no one left to oppose him, he had no choice but to withdraw to a deep valley to befriend only carvings.

Alas!

To live his life seeking an opponent and never to find one, truly a loneliness too difficult to bear!”

And there’re incredible self-descriptions like, “After he turned forty, he was not confined by objects, treating grass, trees, bamboo, and rocks as swords. From there, he refined his skills and gradually reached a state where no sword is superior to having a sword.”

Due to this.

Some readers seriously express:

The sword without intent, the flexible sword without constancy, the wooden sword without peer, and eventually, the ultimate state of no sword and no moves.

If we were to really discuss who is the number one in the world, Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat, who did not appear, would be the one, a pity that he does not belong to the era of “The Return of the Condor Heroes.”

However.

There is little dispute that Lonely Dugu Seeking Defeat has become the supreme martial artist in the world of Chu Kuang’s writings.

Just then, a netizen asked in Yi An’s comment section, “Besides the officially paired Little Dragon Maiden, what does Teacher Yi’an think of other female characters in the book, such as Gongsun Lü’e and even the most admirable Guo Xiang?”

Yi An became a focal point at the turn of public opinion.

Netizens were eager to hear more from Yi An about “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” thus various questions emerged non-stop.

Among them, mentions of “Guo Xiang” are very popular.

Although Guo Xiang only appeared in the later parts of “The Return of the Condor Heroes,” with very little page time, this female character somehow managed to win the readers’ affection, which is truly amazing.

At that time.

Lin Yuan felt relieved that the storm over “The Return of the Condor Heroes” was subsiding when he suddenly saw this question and had a thought.

The next moment.

Yi An updated his status in response to that comment:

To see Yang Guo is to err a lifetime!

New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.

There have been countless evaluations of “The Return of the Condor Heroes” in previous lives, among which Eunice Lam’s “To See Yang Guo and Err a Lifetime” is the most famous.

Drawing from that article, Lin Yuan then wrote his second book review about “The Return of the Condor Heroes”:

“To encounter someone who haunts your soul and dreams is the comfort of a lifetime, yet the inability to have him is life’s regret. When one’s lover sees Xi Shi in their eyes, no one else in the world could ever compare.

Cheng Ying, Lu Wushuang, Gongsun Lü’e, Guo Xiang.

These four young beauties, intelligent and kind-hearted, met Yang Guo.

Their fleeting interactions left only heartache behind, with Gongsun Lü’e so disheartened she wished no longer to be human.

The other three found it hard to fall in love with anyone else.

For the Little Dragon Maiden, it was about love; for the others, it was also about affection.

Unfortunately, they met Yang Guo and erred for a lifetime.

Perhaps Guo Xiang was special, listening to idle chatter in Fenglingdu for one night planted a seed in her heart;

Bringing Guo Xiang to travel across Mountain of Beasts, deep within the black marsh, Valley of Ten Thousand Flowers, showing her the Martial World;

Giving her three gifts on her birthday, and then saving her under the walls of Xiangyang City, Yang Guo perfectly fulfilled the story of a girl’s imagined Prince Charming.

You were not born when I was born;

When I was born, you were already old.

Thus, with thoughts of you at the ends of the earth that cannot be forgotten, that is Guo Xiang.”
