Having studied these cultivation techniques and moves, no one in the world understood and mastered them better than he did!

Xu Pei beat Li Qiye with over twenty rods before she finally couldn't take it anymore and collapsed on the ground, unable to get up. Only then did Li Qiye let her go.

"Next," Li Qiye casually pointed at another disciple and said with a smile.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" In an instant, the other disciples suffered the same fate. One by one, they were beaten to the ground by Li Qiye, unable to rise.

Prompted by Xu Pei's words, the other disciples paid close attention to Li Qiye's every strike as he beat them. The disciples being beaten also remembered every move.

Now, everyone wanted to know the flaws in their own techniques. Some disciples wanted to fix their weaknesses to avoid being beaten so badly by Li Qiye, while others hoped to use this opportunity to identify their shortcomings and improve their cultivation…

Although Xu Pei's words had enlightened everyone, not all disciples could see the flaws in every technique. Even if they could see the flaws, even if they themselves knew the weaknesses of their moves, they couldn't necessarily fix them.

The other disciples were not as fortunate as Xu Pei. Li Qiye merely beat them soundly without offering any guidance.

Finally, all the disciples were knocked to the ground by Li Qiye, groaning in pain. Li Qiye glanced at them indifferently and said with a smile, "This class ends here for today. You get three days off to think properly, so you don't make the same stupid mistakes in the next class." After speaking, he turned and left.

The three-day holiday passed in the blink of an eye. Li Qiye reappeared in the training grounds of Wash Stone Valley. He surveyed the three hundred disciples and said slowly, "Today's lesson remains the same: getting beaten."

Upon hearing Li Qiye's words, many disciples present couldn't help but change their expressions. To be honest, many disciples were already afraid of Li Qiye. The experience of being hit with the Snake-Beating Cudgel was definitely not pleasant; the pain was a form of torture.

Li Qiye looked at the three hundred disciples before him and said with a smile, "Will you step forward to fight, or shall I come to you?"

"I'll face Senior Brother first." As soon as Li Qiye finished speaking, the first person to step forward was Luo Fenghua. This wasn't the first time Luo Fenghua had taken the lead, but this time, it was completely different.

Luo Fenghua had good talent, arguably among the best of the three hundred disciples. His cultivation was not shallow, and he could be considered an arrogant individual.

When Li Qiye first arrived, Luo Fenghua simply refused to be disciplined. In fact, even after being severely beaten by Li Qiye with the Snake-Beating Cudgel, he remained defiant. It wasn't until Li Qiye kicked him flying, breaking several of his bones, that he was truly awakened.

Although Luo Fenghua was arrogant, he was not foolishly conceited. Li Qiye's kick, which broke several of his bones, made Luo Fenghua realize how terrifying Li Qiye was!

At this moment, Luo Fenghua finally realized that Li Qiye was not the useless good-for-nothing he had heard about.

Especially after Xu Pei's words enlightened the disciples, they all diligently pondered every strike of Li Qiye's Snake-Beating Cudgel. It was like a sudden awakening. Although the disciples were in pain after being beaten, many had carefully recalled and pondered Li Qiye's every move over the past three days. Many had gained significant insights, and many had identified the flaws in their own techniques.

Especially since these flaws were "bought" with pain, it made them even more memorable for many disciples.

Luo Fenghua's aptitude was originally good. Xu Pei's words had awakened him, and his insights over the past three days had benefited him greatly. He suddenly understood Li Qiye's good intentions, and his attitude towards Li Qiye underwent a noticeable change without him realizing it.

Li Qiye smiled at Luo Fenghua and said slowly, "Although you are a bit arrogant, you are not so ignorant as to be foolish."

Luo Fenghua, usually so proud, couldn't help but blush this time. He lowered his head and said, "Please, Senior Brother, guide me!" Luo Fenghua was truly sincere and serious this time.

"Make your move," Li Qiye said without further ado, drawing the Snake-Beating Cudgel and speaking slowly.

"Forgive me—" Luo Fenghua shouted, and as soon as he finished speaking, he went all out. With a long roar, light surged like a tide. His body moved like a falcon, his momentum like a flood dragon, and his actions were accompanied by the power of dragons and tigers.

"Bang—" As soon as Luo Fenghua initiated his move, he was met with a strike from the Snake-Beating Cudgel. He was immediately dazed, his nose struck and swollen, tears welling up in his eyes.

Li Qiye's attack was merciless. With one swing, he struck Luo Fenghua so hard that he couldn't tell north from south. After the strike, Li Qiye said calmly, "In battlefield combat, in the flash of an eye, it's either you die or your enemy dies. Every move is a fatal blow. Battlefield combat is not a competition for spectators; no matter how beautiful a move is, it's just a fancy show!"

"The 'Dragon Fights Eagle' move from 'Flying Dragon Hand' is utterly lethal. The moves are not overly complex; they are direct and straightforward." Li Qiye struck Luo Fenghua again with the cudgel, saying, "You, in your cleverness, added a variation to this move. One extra variation, seemingly profound, is nothing more than gilding the lily, diminishing the lethality of this move!"

Luo Fenghua had good comprehension. As soon as Li Qiye finished speaking, he immediately changed his moves. His attacks were powerful and grand, direct and straightforward, almost crude, like the work of an axe!

"This variation is good. Too much rigidity breaks easily; strength needs to be just right." Although Li Qiye spoke, his hand did not stop. Mercilessly, he swung the cudgel fiercely at Luo Fenghua's face, leaving him bruised and swollen.

"Bang—Bang—Bang—" In the blink of an eye, Luo Fenghua was struck over a dozen times by Li Qiye. In no time, Luo Fenghua was knocked to the ground by Li Qiye, the Snake-Beating Cudgel preventing him from getting up.

Being severely struck by the Snake-Beating Cudgel, Luo Fenghua couldn't help but cry out in pain. Despite this, he felt a sense of joy in his heart. This beating was not in vain; he had gained a lot.

"Next," Li Qiye said to the other disciples, having mercilessly knocked Luo Fenghua to the ground.

"Bang—" Finally, an older disciple stepped forward to face Li Qiye after Luo Fenghua. However, as soon as he made his move, he was struck in the legs by Li Qiye's cudgel, causing him to kneel on the ground.

"Your moves are too slow…" Li Qiye didn't even blink. He swung the cudgel again. Startled, the disciple quickly rolled on the ground to dodge the strike.

"Slap—Slap—Slap—" In a short while, this disciple was beaten by Li Qiye until his face was swollen and his nose was bruised. Under the Snake-Beating Cudgel, he could only last for about ten strikes. However, his ten-plus strikes were not in vain, as Li Qiye pointed out the shortcomings of his moves one by one.

In half a day, Li Qiye had beaten all three hundred disciples soundly. This time took longer than any previous occasion. This time, no matter which disciple was being beaten, Li Qiye pointed out the flaws in their techniques and variations one by one.

Li Qiye showed no mercy to any disciple. Each one was beaten until they lay on the ground, unable to get up. For a time, the three hundred disciples wailed endlessly, enduring unbearable pain. Despite the excruciating pain, for many disciples, the gains were substantial; they had not been beaten in vain!

For the next few days, Li Qiye beat the three hundred disciples soundly every day. By now, every disciple had no complaints. Some disciples even willingly endured Li Qiye's severe beatings. Although Li Qiye was merciless and the pain from being beaten with the Snake-Beating Cudgel was unbearable, the rewards were immense, making any amount of suffering worthwhile.

Li Qiye's method of teaching left a deep impression on the three hundred disciples. Under Li Qiye's brutal beatings, it was difficult for these disciples not to remember their shortcomings. Lessons learned through pain were incredibly memorable.

Although Li Qiye's method of teaching was rough and brutal, every disciple benefited greatly. Especially regarding the variations in their techniques, in just a few days, they had grasped the true profundity of move variations. The mistakes they had made during their cultivation were corrected through the beatings.

In just a few short days, many disciples made significant progress, especially those with good talent like Luo Fenghua, whose improvement was exceptionally noticeable. Under Li Qiye's correction, Luo Fenghua understood the true essence of his cultivation techniques. Thus, after only a few days, his every move and variation could be described as seamless and exquisite.

Li Qiye taught using the most brutal and savage method, yet now the disciples of Wash Stone Valley had no complaints about him. Even the stronger disciples like Luo Fenghua, who had initially looked down on Li Qiye the most, were now completely submissive.

Although Li Qiye's teaching methods were rough and brutal, the content he imparted was genuine and practical, benefiting every disciple immensely.

Li Qiye's responsible one-on-one teaching method left the disciples with no complaints.

Although Hall Master Zhou, the previous instructor at Wash Stone Peak, rarely scolded his disciples, his teaching sessions involved gathering everyone together. Each lesson was very short, like cramming. He would simply explain the incantations and variations of cultivation techniques and moves, leaving it up to each disciple to figure out whether they could do it.

The three hundred disciples each had different talents and comprehension levels. Even with the same cultivation techniques and moves, the results of their practice would differ. Because of this, their cultivation often went astray, and the more egregious disciples ended up practicing in completely opposite directions!

Now, Li Qiye's one-on-one guidance corrected each disciple's flaws, giving them a clear direction for their cultivation. They gained a deeper understanding of the profound mysteries of move variations.

Therefore, in just a few days, many disciples had already gained a foothold, even mastering the art of move variations! This made many disciples extremely happy. Li Qiye's teachings over a few days were worth more than their own exploration for a year, or even two to three years!
