The Unforgettable Encounter Between Dương Quá and Trương Tam Phong
Dương Quá is the main character of the novel “Thần Äiêu Äại Hiệp,” also known as “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” by the author Kim Dung. Throughout his adventurous journey, he is often referred to simply as Thần Äiêu. After the Hoa SÆ¡n event that took place for the third time, Dương Quá was officially recognized as one of the leading masters of martial arts, notably known by the title Tây Cuồng.
Once upon a time, Dương Quá was just a young man with exceptional talent amidst countless legendary heroes. Compared to predecessors like Vương Trùng Dương, Quách Tỉnh, and Hoà ng Dược Sư, the young Dương Quá seemed to lack the physical prowess. However, with his sharp intelligence and self-learning abilities, Dương Quá was able to absorb the essence of martial arts and diligently cultivate a profound martial skill.

During his 16 years with Tiểu Long Nữ, Dương Quá developed the skill set known as Âm Nhiên Tiêu Hồn Chưởng. By the end of the “Thần Äiêu Hiệp Lữ” story, Âm Nhiên Tiêu Hồn Chưởng had transformed into a remarkable martial art, even surpassing the legendary Hà m Long Tháºp Bát Chưởng.
One clear evidence of Dương Quá’s prowess is the fact that Quách Tỉnh once faced defeat against Kim Luân Pháp Vương with Tháºp Tạng Long Tá» Nhược Công, yet Dương Quá managed to overcome a significant challenge. This demonstrates that Dương Quá’s martial skills had reached an extraordinarily high level.
Dương Quá does not officially acknowledge any master. However, he once met and was impressed by a young boy named Trương Quân Bảo, who later became Trương Tam Phong. This encounter occurred in the latter part of “Thần Äiêu Hiệp Lữ,” where Trương Tam Phong appeared at the age of just 14. Alongside Giác Viá»…n Äại Sư, his own master, Trương Tam Phong pursued the essence of the Cá»u Dương thần công of Thiếu Lâm. During this quest, he encountered many famous figures in the martial arts world, such as Quách Tỉnh, Hoà ng Dung, Dương Quá, Tiểu Long Nữ, Chu Bá Thông, and Quách Tá» Dương, the daughter of Quách Tỉnh.

Although Trương Tam Phong was not the one to teach Dương Quá, the moment they first met, Dương Quá recognized the exceptional martial talent of the young boy.
At that time, Trương Tam Phong was still young, but he was already mastering the Cá»u Dương Thần Công, demonstrating profound martial skills. Dương Quá had a fondness for the young boy and imparted to Trương Tam Phong the three-dimensional martial art.
The encounter on the Hoa Sơn peak was also the only time the two met. It could be said that Trương Tam Phong was indeed the only true friend of Dương Quá.
The Love Story and the Journey to Establish the Leading Sect
On his journey through the martial arts world, Trương Tam Phong encountered the affection of his companion – Quách Tá» Dương. The moment Quách Tá» Dương fell for Trương Tam Phong, he was inspired to establish the Võ Äang sect. However, this love story did not have a happy ending. Ultimately, Quách Tá» Dương dedicated his heart to Dương Quá from their very first meeting. Due to his love for Dương Quá, Quách Tá» Dương decided to establish the Nga Mi sect, dedicating his life to this path until the end of his days.
Meanwhile, Trương Tam Phong continued his martial arts journey. Eventually, his fame and martial achievements far surpassed those of Dương Quá. However, despite the distance, he remained affectionate towards his daughter, who was also a talented martial artist.
The detailed story in the series “Thiên Long Bát Bá»™” provides a vivid account: “Trương Tam Phong, after reaching the age of seventy, while still climbing the martial ladder, always reserved special feelings and never forgot about Quách Tá» Dương.”
The reason Trương Tam Phong established the Võ Äang sect differs entirely from Quách Tá» Dương.

Trương Tam Phong is credited with creating the Thái Cá»±c Kiếm and Thái Cá»±c Quyá»n. He was deeply passionate about martial arts and dedicated his life to studying and developing martial skills. The martial achievements of Trương Tam Phong can be compared to those of Äạt Ma Tổ Sư, and he is indeed more renowned than Dương Quá.
The connection between Dương Quá and Trương Tam Phong, although not lengthy, marked an important phase in the life of the Võ Äang sect. These encounters opened a new chapter in Trương Tam Phong’s life, leading him to monumental successes in the field of martial arts.
However, the circumstances surrounding the meetings between Dương Quá and Trương Tam Phong reveal that their relationships could bring about unexpected changes, yet they remain intertwined in the life of the characters. Such meetings do not merely help us learn and grow but also open new opportunities, build meaningful relationships, and help us discover ourselves.
