After an hour.
Yu Renjie and Dai Pu walked out of the 'Advanced Study Hall', both showing expressions of delight.
"This Master Yan indeed has real skills. His expertise in boxing might even surpass the society leader. His keen insight is astonishing; every time he offers guidance, he goes straight to the crux and has substantive advice!"
Dai Pu was overjoyed.
Yu Renjie was equally delighted, "Just one session of guidance, and my progress in boxing is like seeing the clouds part to reveal the sun. Especially in 'Skill Hand', single, double, long, medium, short, I have gained immensely!"
"Me too!"
"Vajra Force!"
"Shaking Body Shocking Blade!"
"After his guidance, my understanding of the strength in the 'Ten Punches' has deepened significantly. Both the 'Basic Twenty Fists' and the 'Intermediate Ten Fists' have improved greatly."
"Strength is not mere force; strength comes from force, accumulates before being unleashed, force comes from muscle and bone, accumulating like a bow at full draw. Force is not used with the waist, dead wood cannot be pushed over. Force is not assisted by breath, strength does not follow one's will."
"In the past, I only heard it from lecturers, teachers, and professors but didn't understand."
"This time, I finally grasp at least some truth."
To hear the Tao in the morning, death in the evening is sufficient.
Yu Renjie suddenly realized, indescribably happy.
"I was thinking one session for one person is one tael, one session for two people is one and a half taels was too expensive, but now it seems, this small amount of money is worth nothing."
Dai Pu and Yu Renjie were in sync; without speaking, they already decided to come frequently, and preferably find more senior brothers from the 'Five Ancestor Fist Society' to share the costs.
Thinking of these things.
Suddenly.
Their expressions froze at the same time, seeing a figure enter that simple courtyard.
Dai Pu exclaimed in surprise, "Is that—"
"It's her!"
"From the Seven Star Boxing Club, 'Chuanlin Swordsman' Zhong Hui!"
Yu Renjie was sure, but strangely said, "Isn't she already a third-level research student? Why is she also coming here?"
"Could it be, they know each other?"
Dai Pu was also unsure.
The two, filled with surprise and curiosity, headed back to Guangling Academy.

"And also, Five Ancestors Crane Sun Fist!"
"In just half a month, among the eighteen boxing styles of Guangling Academy, I have already experienced half."
"Much exposure."
"Much teaching."
"The feedback from each boxing style has been extremely beneficial to me!"
After the two left, Yan Chuan sorted through his gains.
In the past half month, through introductions and reputation spreading by Chen Ze and Wei Wude, Yan Chuan has already guided eleven martial artists from various paths.
Solo lecture, each session half an hour, charging 1 tael per session, averaging 1 tael per person.
Double lecture, each session half an hour, charging 1.5 taels per session, averaging 0.75 taels per person.
Triple lecture, each session half an hour, charging 2 taels per session, averaging 0.66 taels per person.
...
In just half a month, eleven people came, and Yan Chuan raked in 10 taels of silver.
Greatly profitable.
"Indeed!"
"For this kind of academy system, after all, 'tutoring classes' and 'advanced classes' are the most lucrative!"
Not just making money.
It's like grabbing money!
Moreover, it wasn't just about the silver; by guiding these martial artists, Yan Chuan also gains feedback through 'Mutual Teaching and Learning', significantly increasing experience, inspiration, and skill level.
Yan Chuan was extremely pleased!
As he was taking stock of this teaching's gains, at this moment, someone knocked outside the courtyard—
"Master Yan, are you there?"
...
"Guiding Guangling Academy disciples?"
"Does he have that ability?"
In Guangling County, the Zhenwu department of the government office, Du Head Che Zheng was reviewing intelligence about 'Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall' and 'Yan Chuan' handed over by his subordinate You Xing Yuanzhi, which recorded Yan Chuan's general movements from July to August, including his regular martial arts practice, martial arts hall management, and the opening in August—
'Advanced Study Hall'!
"I have inquired, and in just half a month, Yan Chuan's reputation has already spread among the junior disciples of Guangling Academy, lacking no business."
"Everyone who has been there says it's good."
Yuan Zhi was also surprised.
To say one or two people say it's good, it could be Yan Chuan's luck or he hired pretenders, but Yuan Zhi had investigated, and the disciples who went to Yan Chuan's 'Advanced Study Hall' were diverse. He was good at recognizing people; a few might deceive him, but not all over ten people could fool him.
Eighty percent.
It's likely true.
"This Yan Chuan, I remember, back in July, he had a fight with Lu Qing from the Six Harmonies Fist Club of Guangling Academy and won by one and a half moves."
"However, at most, he is only at the level of a second or third-level research student."
"In this context, there are disciples from various boxing clubs studying different boxing styles, can he guide them alone?"
Che Zheng was interested, he looked over the records, immediately stood up, and instructed Yuan Zhi: "Call Yang Bing, let's go meet this person!"
The work at the Zhenwu department is like this, very varied and chaotic, from large prestigious schools to martial arts halls and martial masters, all are under the supervision and monitoring of the Zhenwu department.
People and matters like Yan Chuan, which are unusual, are precisely what the officers at Zhenwu department are most interested in.
...
The Advanced Study Hall set up by Yan Chuan is not at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, it's located two alleys away from the martial arts hall, in a simple courtyard rented by Yan Chuan. The location is poor and the rent is very low.
Since the beginning of the month, he still spends his mornings at the Iron Wire Martial Arts Hall, and in the afternoon, he comes here, waiting for clients to arrive for boxing guidance.
That day, after sending off clients Yu Renjie and Dai Pu from the Five Ancestor Fist Society of Guangling Academy, Yan Chuan closed the courtyard gate, ready to ponder boxing techniques.
At this moment—
"Master Yan, are you there?"
Someone knocked on the door, the voice was clear.
Yan Chuan opened the door, and saw a woman who was beautiful, with a crescent moon's gentle glow and flowers covered in snow, her face exquisite beyond the ordinary, a pointed chin, smooth and jade-like fair complexion, with a small and well-formed cherry mouth, lips very thin, with neat rows of fine teeth like broken jade, she was truly an extraordinarily beautiful woman.
Such beauty is rare among Martial Arts Practitioners.
Yan Chuan was not fond of women but liked beautiful things. He smiled and greeted the visitor, "Hello."
"I am Zhong Hui, Mei Suping is my cousin. She mentioned that you created a top-level boxing technique. After returning to the academy, I also heard that you set up an advanced study hall outside the academy to guide disciples, so I'm here to take a look."
The visitor was indeed Zhong Hui of the Seven Star Boxing Club.
She was carrying a sword, and her bearing and temperament had changed significantly from about a month earlier. Yan Chuan, who was highly sensitive due to his zeal in boxing, keenly sensed that, although this girl looked good, there was a fierce and murderous aura about her, making his taiyang temple throb, instinctively vigilant—
This is an expert!
Zhong Hui!
Yan Chuan recalled, quickly remembering this person's details. However, logically speaking, this person shouldn't come to him for training.
Coming here—
"So, a distinguished student from Guangling Academy."
"Please come in."
Welcoming guests from all directions, Yan Chuan remained vigilant and puzzled, but business must go on. He led Zhong Hui into the courtyard, smilingly said, "My humble establishment does some small business to earn a little hard-earned money. Heroine Zhong is a distinguished student from Guangling Academy, a leader at Seven Star Boxing Club, may I know what esteemed business brings Heroine Zhong here?"
Zhong Hui was also direct: "I come for two things, one is to invite you to join the 'True Martial Bureau', and the other is to spar with you, to witness the famous 'Cheng Family Boxing'."
