Chapter 1001: Chapter 928: Aerobic_2 Chapter 1001: Chapter 928: Aerobic_2 “The opening was really slow, only Chu Kuang would dare to write like this, yet the readers still buy into it.”

“Because everyone knows his strength.”

“The strength is indeed abnormal, do you all still remember the problem with the first chapter? Why did Shaolin suddenly appear?”

“This chapter has now clearly explained the reason.”

Shaolin Temple, as the Martial World’s Mount Tai and the North Star, had an inadequate role in both ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ and ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’

For such a heavyweight sect, it was really not appropriate, so when the first chapter was released, there were readers who criticized it, saying that using Shaolin Temple as the entry point of the new book was somewhat unreasonable.

However, in the second chapter of the novel, Chu Kuang’s writing took a turn and provided an explanation.

It turned out that during the times of ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ and ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes,’ an incident involving a “Fireworker Toutuo” had occurred in Shaolin.

At that time, a fireworker Toutuo who was oppressed by the supervising monks held a grudge, so he secretly learned Shaolin’s martial skills.

And during a certain Shaolin Mid-Autumn Festival,

This Fireworker Toutuo demonstrated extraordinary might, shocking everyone, and even killed Shaolin’s leading Zen Master Kuzhi, among others.

As a result, Shaolin suffered internal strife, leading to the departure of another top expert, Zen Master Kuhui, and from then on, Shaolin declined.

By the timeline in the novel when Guo Xiang passed by Shaolin and encountered Jueyuan and Zhang Jun Bao, Shaolin Temple began to recover.

This reasonable twist explained why Shaolin was absent from ‘The Legend of the Condor Heroes’ and ‘The Return of the Condor Heroes.’

And where Jin Yong truly excelled was that this plot did not end there; the Shaolin foreshadowing led to the story of ‘Heaven-Reliant Dragon Slayer’:

The Fireworker Toutuo fled to the Western Regions and established the Vajra School.
