Liu Yang might have been guided by Zhang Xuan previously, but he doesn't believe that the latter is capable. Rather, he thought that Zhang Xuan simply got lucky.

After all, asking someone to use a different hand to execute a punching routine doesn't involve much skill.

Thus, from the depths of his heart, he still looks down on the teacher in front of him.

"Teacher!"

Walking into the room, he cups his hand and bows slightly to Zhang Xuan, although his tone isn't very respectful.

"I have seen you execute your battle techniques before!"

Seemingly oblivious to his disrespect, Zhang Xuan continues, "To be able to train Soaring Flower Fist to the rookie level and Dragon Inch Fist to the expert level, not bad!"

"What? You... How did you know that I am trained in... Dragon Inch Fist?"

Hearing those words, Liu Yang who was disregarding Zhang Xuan almost faints from shock.

Logically, due to his weak strength, he should have focused on his cultivation technique. Even if he has to learn battle technique, he should have practiced a normal battle technique such as Soaring Flower Fist instead of Dragon Inch Fist!

Dragon Inch Fist, being a mortal lower-tier battle technique, is much more formidable than the Soaring Flower Fist!

In order to become stronger, he hid the fact that he was practicing this punch routine from his family members!

Ever since his Dragon Inch Fist reached rookie level, he has never executed it in front of anyone else. Previously, the battle technique which he showed Zhang Xuan was the Soaring Flower Fist. Yet, Zhang Xuan was able to tell that he practices the Dragon Inch Fist and that it is at the expert level...

How could he tell?

"There is shadows of the Dragon Inch Fist in your Soaring Flower Fist!" Naturally, Zhang Xuan can't possibly reveal that it is due to the Library of Heaven's Path. He didn't even blink when telling an outright lie.

"You can even tell from that..." Liu Yang is still in a state of disbelief.

The two skills aren't even in the slightest related to one another. Previously, he also executed the Soaring Flower Fist in front of Cao Xiong laoshi but he wasn't able to tell that much from it. Yet, the academy's worst teacher is able to see through it with one glance. Is this for real?

While he is still holding doubts in his heart, the teacher sitting before him continues.

"Reaching the level of an expert, your Dragon Inch Fist holds considerable might. However, do you feel an ache under your armpits and an itch in your jianjin acupoint whenever you execute it?"

TL: Jianjin -> Shoulder well acupoint, right beside the back of your neck on your shoulder.

"This, this..."

Taking a few steps back, Liu Yang looks as though he has seen a ghost, fear appearing within his eyes.

Not only are the words of the other party correct, they are exactly spot-on!

It is as though he has seen him training.

"You... How did you know?" Liu Yang couldn't help but ask with a pale face.

"It is very simple, you have been practicing an inappropriate battle technique! If you continue training at this rate, I can guarantee that the muscles of your entire arm will be destroyed within three years. Even immortals will find it hard to save you! In fact, the effects are already apparent now. Do you feel your body going stiff when you are sleeping at night, sometimes even spasming?"
