Tian Guinong is given a greater role as the primary villain - he survives the fall after being knocked off a cliff by Hu Fei and returns as an even more powerful foe.[ citation needed ] Apparently, Tian discovered Li Zicheng's treasure in a cave at the cliff's base and found a martial arts manual detailing Zhou Botong's famous skill, the 'Technique of Ambidexterity', along with the reforged Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.[ citation needed ] He masters the skill and uses his new weapons to face the protagonists once more. Characters from The Book and the Sword are also given greater roles in the series.[ citation needed ] The cliffhanger ending in the novel is also replaced by a happy reunion for Hu Fei and his third love interest Miao Ruolan.[ citation needed ]
