Hearing Fang Chen's words, the crowd that had been about to disperse stopped again.

"What did he just say?"

"Fang Chen seems to have spotted the problem!"

"How is that possible? So many people couldn't see it, but he did? Do you think he's Master Hong?!"

The crowd buzzed with discussion, all somewhat surprised by Fang Chen's words.

Wang Yanshan turned his head and spoke directly, "What do you mean? You think you've figured it out?!"

"If you don't understand, just say you don't. Why pretend to know for a mere hundred taels!"

The surrounding disciples nodded in agreement, "Junior Brother Fang, no one else could figure it out, there's no shame in that. Why pretend?"

"Junior Sister should have asked Master Hong directly. Asking us is useless."

Suddenly, a disciple turned to Song Ming, "Senior Brother Song, did you spot the mistake?"

At this, everyone's gaze snapped to Song Ming.

Song Ming's lips curved into a slight smile as he confidently replied, "Naturally, I did."

"However, since Junior Brother Fang is so confident, let him try to guide her first. If he can't, I'll then enlighten Junior Sister!"

The surrounding disciples exclaimed in admiration, "As expected of Senior Brother Song! I didn't realize he's not only fast at cultivation but also skilled at teaching!"

"Haha, I think we should just let Senior Brother Song explain. Why waste so much time?"

"Yeah, demonstrating the Tiger Subduing Fist takes a while. Junior Brother Fang shouldn't waste everyone's time."

Fang Chen, however, smiled and said to Luo Shuiling, "Junior Sister Luo, just start the demonstration. I'll point out the issues with the details."

Luo Shuiling was not affected by the onlookers.

In fact, the reason she came to Fang Chen was because she felt he must be very capable.

So even though no one else was optimistic, Luo Shuiling wouldn't easily change her mind.

Seeing Luo Shuiling begin her demonstration, the crowd wisely fell silent.

Some, feeling it was a waste of time, dispersed to focus on their own martial arts training.

Of course, the majority remained.

They wanted to see if Fang Chen truly had any skill or if he was just boasting.

Song Ming, in particular, watched with the most scrutiny.

If Fang Chen failed to point out the problem, or missed something, it would be his chance to shine.

Unlike the others, Wang Yanshan felt an inexplicable fear at this moment.

"Am I going to lose to Fang Chen again?"

Wang Yanshan's rationality reasserted itself. He suddenly felt that Fang Chen might indeed be better than him, otherwise why would he be so confident?!

However, the agreement had been made, and there was no backing out.

Wang Yanshan could only pray inwardly that Fang Chen was just bluffing, so he wouldn't lose his hundred taels of silver for nothing.

But events unfolded in a way that defied Wang Yanshan's expectations.

When Luo Shuiling reached the third move of her demonstration, Fang Chen stepped forward to correct his junior sister.

"Your shoulder appears relaxed and lowered, but you're actually forcing the posture. Your neck and shoulders are tense, so your power generation is naturally incorrect, and your Blood Essence cannot flow smoothly."

Fang Chen gently patted Junior Sister's shoulder.

Luo Shuiling suddenly understood, corrected her posture, and continued her demonstration.

The onlookers naturally saw Luo Shuiling's improvement.

Not only was there a look of realization on her face, but her movements also seemed to become more fluid.

Luo Shuiling's posture had seemed fine before, but it was actually a bit stiff.

After Fang Chen's guidance, Luo Shuiling's third move immediately became smoother.

From within the crowd, Song Ming let out a cold sneer, thinking to himself, "He's got some skill, a bit better than Wang Yanshan, but there are more than just this one detail wrong."

Soon, Luo Shuiling reached another slightly awkward part of the form.

Song Ming stared intently at Fang Chen, thinking that this mistake Fang Chen surely wouldn't notice.

However, to Song Ming's dismay, Fang Chen took a step forward and pointed out the problem.

"You're trying too hard to puff out your chest and pull in your stomach. Your waist has become deformed."

Hearing this, Luo Shuiling tucked her ample bosom back slightly. The pressure on her waist immediately lessened, and her movements became more fluid.

Song Ming gritted his teeth, feeling resentful. "I knew I should have spoken up first. Now Fang Chen has stolen all the spotlight!"

Although the onlookers were quiet, not wanting to disturb Fang Chen's guidance, their minds were churning with astonishment and admiration for him.

Who could have imagined that Fang Chen could so easily guide others? He was fast at practicing martial arts, and now he was proving to be an excellent teacher as well!

Everyone recalled what Master Hong had once said: "When it comes to practicing martial arts, if someone can easily identify and explain the key mistakes others make, it means they truly understand it themselves."

They all believed Fang Chen's understanding of the Tiger Subduing Fist was profoundly deep and thorough, otherwise, he wouldn't be able to guide others so effortlessly.

As for Luo Shuiling, Fang Chen's words always hit the mark, directly addressing the crucial points. This allowed her to immediately recognize her errors and made her progress significant.

Luo Shuiling continued her practice, her movements becoming increasingly smooth.

The crowd eagerly awaited Fang Chen's further explanations, but Song Ming was growing impatient. He muttered to himself, "All the problems have been pointed out. Does Fang Chen really need Luo Shuiling to keep practicing?"

Song Ming clapped his hands to get everyone's attention and said with a smile, "I didn't expect Junior Brother Fang to understand the Tiger Subduing Fist so thoroughly."

"The two issues you mentioned are exactly what I thought of. They are indeed the key problems for our junior sister. But that's all, isn't it, Junior Brother Fang? There's no need to waste everyone's time further, right?"

Hearing Song Ming's words, the crowd finally reacted and chimed in with praise.

"Haha, as expected of Senior Brother Song! Senior Brother Song has sharp eyes and must have seen all the problems just like Junior Brother Fang."

"So it's over? I thought there were more issues to come."

"If Senior Brother Song says there are no more problems, then there definitely aren't. Junior Sister should be able to achieve initiation after this round!"

The crowd's excited chatter was a bit distracting, and Luo Shuiling couldn't concentrate on her practice.

Just then, Fang Chen shouted, "Quiet, everyone! It's not over yet!"

The crowd immediately fell silent, noticing that Fang Chen was still intently watching Luo Shuiling's performance.

Song Ming frowned, his mind racing. "What nonsense is Fang Chen spouting?!"

"Aren't those the only problems? How can it not be over yet!"

"He's just seeking attention, seeking attention! Fang Chen is talking nonsense just to show off!"

However, as Luo Shuiling performed the final move, Fang Chen stepped forward again to make adjustments.

"Your leg power is incorrect. Although it looks like you're pushing off the ground, your feet aren't actually gripping. This causes the force to disconnect during the transmission from your feet, waist, and shoulders."

"It seems powerful, but the connection is flawed. There's no sense of explosive, continuous force being unleashed!"

Luo Shuiling instantly understood. Adopting the correct posture, she unleashed her power with a sudden burst, her movements flowing seamlessly!

Everyone could see the transformation in Luo Shuiling. Her Tiger Subduing Fist was clearly much smoother and more fluid than before.

"Hah!"

Luo Shuiling delivered the final punch with a mighty shout.

To everyone's astonishment, a beaming Luo Shuiling said to Fang Chen, "Thank you, Senior Brother! I've successfully achieved initiation!"

Seeing this, Song Ming, standing nearby, was visibly unsettled.
