After a brief surprise, Pang Long thought:
"This boy practices martial arts on his own, without any guidance, relying entirely on self-exploration. Perhaps he made some progress and believes he has achieved minor success. Young people often make this mistake, it is quite normal."
He sternly said, "For those practicing martial arts, it is most important not to aim too high. Do you know what the sign of achieving minor success in the Four Directions Fist is?"
As he spoke, he spread his legs apart, assuming a fist stance. He punched, stirring up a gust of wind. Strangely, his fist struck to the right, but the wind blew to the left.
Pang Long intended to instruct. He delivered four punches consecutively, one punch to the east, with the wind blowing west, one punch to the south, the wind blew east, one punch to the north, the wind blew south. One punch to the west, and the wind also blew west.
