He's fighting a celebrity of the murim world, not a random mook, though.
As for how much Shioon owes to the pill... A lot. It gave him more chi than most martial artist will ever have even if they train their whole lives. That's not a small advantage.
He also has a gift for learning techniques, that's true, but without the chi to feed them, it'd amount to nothing. Heck, even his learning speed may be due in part to the pill. If, say, a normal student would have the chi to make one attempt a day at practicing a new technique, the guy who can tirelessly try and try again has a huge advantage.
