Just run out of his range down the stairs or something and let him reset if you don't want to fight him twice. Come back in range after his reset and immediately start combat again. No talking necessary.

Description
You may have already met my best student, Xiao, at the banquet tables. I personally would have graduated him several times over, but Instructor Xann insists that he needs more discipline. If you ask me, discipline means very little if you win every fight you enter. I'm curious to see if Xiao can keep his streak alive against you.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Husshun, the Wizened
The jinyu are long-standing allies of the pandaren, and we welcome any of their kind into our monastery. Husshun, one of their elder shaman, is one of our newest trainees. His skills as a monk are mediocre at best, but he is still a fierce combatant.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- A Test of Endurance
I have taught you everything that I can, <name>. It is time you spoke with Instructor Myang. The fights that she stages are less traditional than the sparring matches I am used to.
