Who Says I Didn't See It?

Wang Yanshan suddenly walked over and said, "Junior Sister, don't believe those wild rumors. This Fang Chen has no ability to instruct you."

Fang Chen frowned.

"What are you butting in for?"

Wang Yanshan let out a cold snort, brimming with confidence:

"You've only been practicing the Tiger Subduing Fist for how long? And you already dare to teach others?"

"Don't think breaking through successfully makes you impressive! Teaching others and practicing yourself are worlds apart!"

"Without sufficient attainments in Martial Arts, not only will you fail to help your junior brothers and sisters, you'll mislead them instead!"

Fang Chen looked at him speechlessly. Sometimes, he really wanted to cut down this noisy fellow.

Unfortunately, his current strength was still slightly inferior.

The day he broke through, he had taken Wang Yanshan's punch head-on. Although he had caught it, he could still feel that the other man's force was slightly stronger.

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

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

"Since you think you're so capable, why don't you help her enter the discipline directly? If you fail, I'll take over and let you see what true instruction is."

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

Not to mention that he had practiced fist techniques several times longer than Fang Chen,

he had also instructed numerous disciples and was rich in experience. Common problems were all etched into his mind!

Fang Chen had only instructed Zhou Hai before. How much ability could he possibly have?

What did he have to compare with Wang Yanshan?!

At this thought, Wang Yanshan's confidence immediately soared. He didn't believe for a moment that he could lose!

"Fine!"

Wang Yanshan sneered. "You brat, you're actually this arrogant. Then I'll compete with you and let you know that I didn't become your senior brother for nothing!"

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

"One hundred taels!" Wang Yanshan's heart jolted.

The shadow of his crushing defeat last time instantly loomed over him.

Why was Fang Chen so confident? Could there be another trap? Was he really certain he would win?!

A trace of doubt quietly took root.

For a moment, Wang Yanshan didn't know how to answer.

At that moment,

the surrounding disciples had already quietly gathered to watch the spectacle.

A conflict, a competition, and a wager—in this martial arts school starved of entertainment, it was a rare bit of fun.

Luo Shuiling watched the scene, inexplicably excited. "As expected of Senior Disciple Fang. Even giving pointers can cause such a huge commotion!"

Seeing Wang Yanshan hesitate, the watching disciples immediately began jeering:

"Senior Brother Wang, don't tell me you're afraid of him? Compete with him!"

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

"If it were me, I would've agreed already. Isn't this just free money—one hundred taels? You can even trample 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.

After all, it wasn't them competing with Fang Chen. They could jeer all they wanted!

Thus, amid the crowd's "sincere" encouragement, Wang Yanshan's confidence was rekindled.

That trace of doubt was cast to the ninth heaven.

He puffed out his chest. "Hmph! Then let's compete! Since you insist on giving me money, I'll just graciously accept it!"

The corners of Fang Chen's lips lifted slightly—the spectators had certainly done him a great favor.

Wang Yanshan turned to Luo Shuiling, brimming with confidence. "Junior Sister, perform it once for me to see. Your senior brother guarantees that I'll help you enter the discipline!"

Luo Shuiling nodded, immediately taking up a stance and beginning to perform the Tiger Subduing Fist.

Every onlooker widened their eyes, all wanting to be the first to discover the crux of the problem!

If neither Fang Chen nor Wang Yanshan noticed it, but they found it instead, wouldn't that prove they were more capable than the two of them?!

With this thought in mind, the spectators watched with extraordinary care.

However, Luo Shuiling's problem was clearly difficult to detect.

She had already sought guidance from many people, yet she remained stuck at the threshold.

Even Wang Yanshan was now frowning deeply, constantly racking his brain.

"There's no problem. It looks flawless. Why hasn't she entered the discipline yet?"

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

Nearby, Fang Chen watched Wang Yanshan grow agitated and couldn't help feeling amused inside.

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

He wasn't worried about losing in the slightest.

On the day he entered the school, he had personally witnessed Wang Yanshan instruct Zhou Hai.

Fang Chen understood that Wang Yanshan could only pick out obvious errors. Once it came to details, he would stumble and hedge.

It was also then that Zhou Hai had experienced the subtlety of Fang Chen's instruction.

Zhou Hai, standing nearby, was naturally calm as well. He was even somewhat envious that Fang Chen was about to earn another hundred taels.

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

After all, Wang Yanshan had been swindled by Fang Chen once and still hadn't learned his lesson. In Zhou Hai's eyes, that was rather foolish.

However, from Wang Yanshan's perspective, it was impossible for Fang Chen to have more experience than him.

So even though Wang Yanshan had his doubts, he still chose to accept the competition under everyone's encouragement.

But now...

Wang Yanshan was getting anxious. He felt that he genuinely couldn't see where the problem lay.

Even after Luo Shuiling finished the entire set of punches, Wang Yanshan remained silent.

By this time, however, everyone had shifted their gazes toward Wang Yanshan, waiting expectantly for his instruction.

Among the crowd, only Song Ming had managed to see the crux of the problem.

So everyone was waiting for Wang Yanshan to give them the answer!

But,

after waiting for a while, everyone realized that Wang Yanshan wasn't saying anything at all. He was merely lowering his head and thinking.

Just as everyone was about to urge him, Wang Yanshan finally raised his head.

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

Upon hearing this, someone in the crowd let out a derisive sigh.

Song Ming furrowed his brows and secretly sneered. "What a useless thing. How are you supposed to suppress Fang Chen's prestige like this?"

But... Song Ming reconsidered.

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

"What a pity. Why didn't he challenge me instead?"

Listening to the snickers in the crowd, Wang Yanshan's face instantly flushed red. He thrust out his neck and shouted at Fang Chen:

"So what if I couldn't see it? If even I can't figure it out, Fang Chen has even less of a chance! We'll call this a draw. The competition is void!"

Though the watching disciples felt disappointed, they still nodded one after another.

After all, none of them had seen where the problem lay either. It was perfectly normal that Wang Yanshan couldn't see it!

As for Fang Chen,

he probably couldn't see it either.

Everyone present tacitly assumed that Wang Yanshan understood Martial Arts better than Fang Chen.

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

At that moment,

Song Ming looked around. Seeing that no one in the crowd had pointed out the problem, he was just about to speak up and show off his abilities!

He would let everyone know that he was more capable than both Fang Chen and Wang Yanshan!

But Fang Chen's voice rang out before he could speak, carrying a faint smile:

"Who says I didn't see it?"

The words at Song Ming's lips were forcibly swallowed back. Suspicion and alarm surged in his heart.

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