Wang Yanshan, however, suddenly walked closer and said, "Junior Sister, don't believe those rumors. This Fang Chen is completely incapable of guiding you."

Fang Chen frowned.

"What are you doing here?"

Wang Yanshan snorted, full of confidence.

"How long have you been practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist, and you dare to teach others so casually?"

"Don't think you're amazing just because you broke through! Teaching others is worlds apart from practicing yourself!"

"If you don't have enough martial arts mastery, you won't only fail to help your junior disciples, but you'll mislead them!"

Fang Chen looked at him speechlessly, sometimes truly wishing he could just chop this noisy fellow down.

It was just that his current strength was still a bit lacking.

On the day he broke through, he had taken a punch from Wang Yanshan. Although he blocked it, he could still feel that the opponent's force was slightly stronger.

But... in a few more days, that might not be the case.

He looked at Wang Yanshan and said calmly, "According to what Junior Sister said, she's only a step away from initiation."

"Since you consider yourself so capable, why don't you help her achieve initiation directly? If you can't, then let me try, and I'll show you what real guidance is."

Wang Yanshan hadn't expected Fang Chen to dare challenge him!

Not to mention that he had practiced martial arts for several times longer than Fang Chen, He had also guided numerous disciples and was experienced, with common problems ingrained in his mind!

Fang Chen had only guided Zhou Hai. How much skill could he possibly have?

What could he compare to him with?!

Thinking this, Wang Yanshan's confidence surged. He didn't think he would lose at all!

"Fine!"

Wang Yanshan sneered. "You brat are so arrogant. Then I'll compete with you, so you can know that I, your senior brother, am not just for show!"

Seeing that he had taken the bait, Fang Chen continued, "Since it's a competition, there should be something at stake. How about the loser gives the winner a hundred taels?"

"A hundred taels!" Wang Yanshan's heart skipped a beat.

The shadow of his last crushing defeat instantly enveloped him.

Why was Fang Chen so confident? Was there another trap? Did he really have a plan?!

A sliver of hesitation quietly sprouted.

Wang Yanshan was momentarily unsure how to respond.

At this moment, Disciples had already quietly gathered around to watch the commotion.

Conflict, competition, and wagers—in this martial arts school with little entertainment, it was a rare source of amusement.

Luo Shuiling watched this scene, feeling inexplicably excited. "As expected of Senior Disciple Fang, even guidance can create such a stir!"

Seeing Wang Yanshan hesitate, the surrounding disciples immediately started to egg him on.

"Senior Brother Wang, are you afraid of him? Compete with him!"

"Exactly! I believe in you, you're definitely stronger than him!"

"If it were me, I would have agreed long ago. Isn't this free money of a hundred taels?! And you can step on Fang Chen's prestige while you're at it!"

All these onlookers hoped Wang Yanshan would agree.

Only then would the competition be more interesting.

It wasn't them competing with Fang Chen anyway, so they could stir up trouble as they pleased!

And so, amidst the "sincere" clamor of the crowd, Wang Yanshan's confidence reignited.

That sliver of doubt was cast to the nine heavens.

He puffed out his chest. "Hmph! If you want to compete, then let's compete! Since you insist on giving away money, I'll have to accept it with a smile!"

Fang Chen's lips curved upward—these onlookers had been a great help.

Wang Yanshan turned to Luo Shuiling, full of confidence. "Junior Sister, demonstrate it for me. Senior Brother guarantees to help you achieve initiation!"

Luo Shuiling nodded, immediately struck a stance, and began to practice the Tiger Subduing Fist.

The onlookers' eyes widened, all eager to be the first to find the crux of the problem!

If neither Fang Chen nor Wang Yanshan could find it, but they could, wouldn't that mean they were even more skilled than these two?!

With this mentality, all the onlookers watched very carefully.

However, Luo Shuiling's problem was clearly not easy to detect.

She had already sought advice from many people but remained stuck at the threshold.

Even Wang Yanshan was now frowning deeply, his mind constantly pondering.

"No problem, it looks fine, how is it not initiated yet?"

"Damn it, how can I not see it?!"

Fang Chen, standing by, couldn't help but want to laugh seeing Wang Yanshan's increasingly anxious expression.

The more anxious he got, the less he could see.

He wasn't worried about losing at all.

On the day he joined the school, he had personally seen Wang Yanshan guiding Zhou Hai.

Fang Chen understood clearly that Wang Yanshan could only point out obvious errors; when it came to details, he would stammer.

It was also that time Zhou Hai truly experienced the brilliance of Fang Chen's guidance.

Zhou Hai, standing nearby, was naturally calm, even a little envious that Fang Chen would earn another hundred taels.

At the same time, Zhou Hai mentally labeled Wang Yanshan a "fool."

After all, Wang Yanshan had been tricked by Fang Chen once and still hadn't learned his lesson, which seemed foolish to Zhou Hai.

However, from Wang Yanshan's perspective, Fang Chen couldn't possibly have more experience than him.

So, even though Wang Yanshan had doubts, under the encouragement of the crowd, he still agreed to this competition.

But now...

Wang Yanshan felt a bit anxious. He felt like he truly couldn't see the problem.

By the time Luo Shuiling finished the entire set of movements, Wang Yanshan remained silent.

But at this moment, everyone had shifted their gaze to Wang Yanshan, looking forward to his guidance.

In the crowd, besides Song Ming, no one could see the crux of the issue.

So everyone expected Wang Yanshan to point out the answer!

However, After waiting for a while, everyone found that Wang Yanshan wasn't speaking at all, just pondering with his head down.

Just as the crowd was about to urge him on, Wang Yanshan finally looked up.

He stammered, "Uh... I didn't see it..."

Hearing this, someone in the crowd let out a sigh.

Song Ming frowned, secretly sneering, "Useless trash, how can he suppress Fang Chen's prestige like this?"

However... Song Ming thought again.

"Since Wang Yanshan can't see it, Fang Chen probably can't either."

"What a shame, why didn't he challenge me?"

Listening to the chuckles from the crowd, Wang Yanshan's face instantly turned red. He craned his neck and shouted at Fang Chen, "So what if I can't see it? If even I can't figure it out, Fang Chen has no chance! This round is a draw, the competition is void!"

Although the watching disciples felt disappointed, they all nodded in agreement.

After all, they hadn't seen the problem either, so it was normal for Wang Yanshan not to see it!

As for Fang Chen, He probably couldn't see it either.

Everyone present implicitly believed that Wang Yanshan understood better than Fang Chen.

If even Senior Brother Wang was helpless, what could Fang Chen do?

Just then, Song Ming looked around. Seeing that no one in the crowd could point out the problem, he was about to speak and show off his own abilities!

So that everyone would know he was even more skilled than both Fang Chen and Wang Yanshan!

But Fang Chen's voice beat him to it, with a faint smile: "Who said I didn't see it?"

Song Ming swallowed the words that had reached his lips, his heart filled with suspicion:

"Did he really see it? Or is he bluffing?!"
