Great Data Spell!

Just like that, Xia Ming was punched in the right cheek.

It wasn't Wang Ling who punched him, but Xia Ming himself.

Most cultivators' fist techniques were supple; that was to say, when a punch was thrown, the spirit energy molecules on the fist could stir up some of the air, and the two would combine to form an invisible "fist membrane" around the fist. This membrane could be thick or thin, which mainly depended on a cultivator's control of their spirit energy.

So when Xia Ming threw the punch, and Wang Ling surreptitiously guided its trajectory, Xia Ming already could no longer control his reaction, and his fist hit him squarely in the face.

The highly misleading body movement which Wang Ling demonstrated was nothing more than a Tai Chi push-hand which neutralized Xia Ming's punch effortlessly.
