The establishment of the Huaiyin Martial Arts Academy has siphoned off many students from Pingyang Prefecture, but it does not monopolize this resource.
The various martial arts schools originally located within the borders of Pingyang Prefecture, after evaluation and meeting the standards, can all be incorporated, alleviating the pressure on the academy while helping many students who are too far away to study nearby.
As for some families that initially charged money for a booklet and had instructors only serve as a facade, where older students would teach new students, practicing correctly or incorrectly was purely up to luck. These schools weren't focused on training, but rather on selecting the best and absorbing them into the family workforce, naturally making it difficult to pass evaluations.
