Every single battle technique has its own unique zhenqi circulation method and execution style, so it's important for a cultivator to pair them together wisely.
Using an analogy, while it's possible for one to punch his left fist to the right while punching the right fist to the left, the clash in the momentum from both actions made in unison would potentially result in muscle tear and disturbances in one's zhenqi.
This was the problem Wu Chan was suffering from at this instant.
The maneuvers which Zhang Xuan advised Ran Xiaoxiao on was in consideration of her unique circumstances having just opened her Ziwei and Yingtai acupoint and her incredible physical flexibility as a woman.
On the other hand, Wu Chan had yet to open those acupoints, and his body was slightly more rigid as a male as well, making it highly dangerous for him to execute those moves in succession.
