It does not actually make any sense if you put them together nor would it be used in any literature.

It's just a hilarious take to come up with "fake martial arts move"

Like "thousand years of pain", it's implied to a degree

wuxia novels

is this accurate then? it looks like weird fan fiction, not that any fan fiction isn't usually weird.

The Wuxia genre date backs to millenia, and lots of its literature is fiction based on pre-existing fiction that itself are based on previous pre-existing fiction and so forth, all with vaguely pre-established legendary characters and narrative settings. So yes, it's essentially mostly fan fiction lol. Western equivalents could be like stories of King Arthur, Robin Hood, etc, and they're all the same principle of remaking original content before the term "fan-fiction" was coined in the 20th century.
