22 Chapter 22: The Reason Behind Zhao Yas Illness (1/2)

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?”

Zhang Xuan questions.

”I...”

Liu Yang trembles.

Indeed, he has such a condition. Just that, he thought it was due to over exhaustion from excessive training, so he didn't pay it much heed. Never in his dreams would imagine that it was due to him practicing the Dragon Inch Fist!

”Dragon Inch Fist, it is a skill which regards one's body like a dragon and emphasizes the concept of might in every inch of your body. If you had reached Fighter 4-dan Pigu realm and had zhenqi nourish your muscles, there won't be any side effects from cultivating this battle technique. However, you are only in Juxi realm and your body is far too weak! Forcefully cultivating this battle technique will only cause your body to be injured. As time passes, the injury will only worsen! This is also the reason why although you aren't left-handed, your left hand possess significantly greater strength than your right hand! That is because you practiced the Dragon Inch Fist with your right, causing great damage to it. If you don't stop now, you will become crippled!”

Zhang Xuan warns.

”Teacher, save me...”

At this moment, Liu Yang no longer possesses the arrogance he had when he first walked in. His knees weaken and he kneels to the floor.

At this moment, he understands that the teacher before him is definitely an expert, a master among experts!

That is because everything Zhang Xuan said fits perfectly with what is happening to him. If Zhang Xuan didn't voice it out, Liu Yang wouldn't have paid much attention to it. However, now that he has stated all of it out clearly and logically, Liu Yang immediately understands that everything he said is true.

In the face of such an expert, what rights does he have to remain arrogant?

It is laughable that he thought that he felt wronged for acknowledging him as his teacher...

Only now does he realize how fortunate he is!

Before acknowledging Cao Xiong, he has also met quite a few notable teachers in the academy and displayed his battle technique before them. However, they were unable to tell that he is trained in the Dragon Inch Fist, needless to say, seeing through the fact that his right arm is injured!

”First, stop training in the Dragon Inch Fist and try your best to raise your cultivation. As for the injury that you have sustained and accumulated, I will think of an idea to solve it!” Zhang Xuan declares. ”Alright, call Zhao Ya in!”

”Yes!” Liu Yang nods his head hurriedly. Not daring to say anything further, he quickly walks out.
