I can't provide the answer to the 16 guesses of the ancient wuxia novels. As a fan of web novels, my knowledge covers many aspects, but it doesn't include classical martial arts novels.

1 Sanfeng
2 Zhang Wuji

4 Zhou Zhiruo
5 Extermination
6 Bai Suzhen
Sun Wukong

The recommendations for good classical martial arts novels are as follows:
" The Eight Forms of the Heavenly Dragon ": The author, Jin Yong, described the story of the great martial arts sects fighting for the Heavenly Dragon Saber and the Nine Yang Scripture at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty.
