Feng Ling Yu Xiu 2nd Season Special

I unfortunately gave the 2nd Season a poor rating before watching these special episodes, but rewatching the series after watching this makes the series a lot better. These special episodes really do tie everything together for season 2, and season 2 shouldn't be considered complete without this. So, I feel like I have to give this a 10 to make up for the poor review of the rest of season 2.

My main criticisms of season 2 were that Yuxiu and Ling'er don't do much and all the fighting is by random side characters we don't care about. Well, these episodes really do put the spotlight ... on Yuxiu and Ling'er, and also explain a lot of the behind the scenes stuff that occurred before in season 2 which involves Ling'er. And also, on second watch I do find myself caring more about these side characters once the complicated interactions are explained a bit better.

Another criticism was that that the power creep brought everyone to grandmaster level and you don't have that hand to hand combat or hand to weapon combat you had before. Well that part is still kind of true, but we do get to see some large diversity in skill levels in these episodes which makes things a bit more refreshing.

The action goes hard, and the story all comes together.
