Before long, Yuchi Jingde's guards handed him his lance.

Yuchi Jingde wielded his spear with incredible skill in the courtyard, and with his final thrust, he pierced a huge hole in the wall of Li Jue's courtyard.

"this……"

Li Jue knew the sturdiness of his courtyard. To save money, he specially fired cement to plaster the walls. Even with an axe, he could only chisel a shallow white mark on the wall.

However, this old man, who looked like a bear, simply stabbed his way through his courtyard wall with a simple, ordinary thrust, creating a large hole.

How much strength does that take?

"Uncle Yu, you..."

Before Li Jue could finish speaking, Yuchi Jingde interrupted him, then said with an arrogant expression.

"Tell me, what do you think of my kung fu?"

"powerful!"

"Very strong!"

"Extremely strong!"

"But you don't need to take your anger out on my yard wall!"

"ah?"

"Hahaha!"

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde realized that he had almost demolished someone else's courtyard.

However, Yuchi Jingde was already very wealthy, so how could he possibly care about such a small courtyard?

Furthermore, now that he knew Li Jue's identity, he felt even more that the small courtyard in front of him was not worthy of Li Jue.

"Hi!"

"It's just a wall, I'll compensate you!"

"But your little courtyard is too small. I can't move around much at all. How about I pay for it and build you a large three-courtyard house?"

Upon hearing this, Li Jue quickly waved his hand and said...

"Need not!"

"The young man has already ordered people to build it by the reservoir at the end of the village. It will be completed in three to five days."

"Oh, in that case, let's go over there and practice now!"

"So urgent?"

"certainly!"

"You think I'm free? I've taken time out of my busy schedule to teach you. If you don't study hard, I'll spank you!"

Yuchi Jingde was indeed very busy. He had just gathered several Taoist priests to refine elixirs for him, and after teaching Li Jue, he still had to go back and take the new elixirs.

Before long, the two arrived at a large courtyard by the Sanglin Village Reservoir.

Yuchi Jingde intended to demonstrate again and then have Li Jue learn from him, but unexpectedly, as soon as Li Jue entered the courtyard, he took out a small lance and started playing with it.

Although his speed was much slower than before, his movements were just as good!

This completely stunned Yuchi Jingde, his eyes widening like copper bells, and he thought to himself that he had struck gold!

"Kid, did you learn from Old Li before?"

"He learned archery, but not the horse lance. He said his horse lance skills were mediocre, not even ranking in the top five in the Tang Dynasty..."

"You learned my tricks after only reading it once?"

"You wouldn't call it learning, would you?"

"This junior is merely following the example..."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde felt extremely frustrated.

Just now, in order to show off his skills, he not only attacked at an extremely fast speed, but also used several sets of high-difficulty moves.

However, the child learned it after only watching it once!

You know, it took me a full half month to learn this move back then!

"You're quite modest, kid..."

"Humility makes one progress, hehehe..."

Upon hearing this, Yuchi Jingde secretly rolled his eyes at Li Jue.

"I haven't seen any progress, but I've definitely gained weight! Look at you, you're almost as round as a ball!"

"I……"

"I will demonstrate another set of horse spear moves. If you can still imitate them perfectly, I will accept you as my disciple!"

"oh oh……"

This time, Yuchi Jingde deliberately chose the most difficult set of horse spear moves, which even included high-difficulty moves such as dodging spears and returning the horse spear.

Although the rehearsal did not involve riding a horse, which made the return spear technique less effective, it was still sufficient for the rehearsal.

A moment later, Yuchi Jingde stood still, panting heavily.

"Kid, do you understand now?"

"I understand now!"

"Then demonstrate it for me. If you can still do it perfectly, I'll accept you as my disciple!"

Yuchi Jingde said this, but in his heart he was already half satisfied.

As long as Li Jue can remember even half of it, he will eagerly take him as his disciple, and Li Jue will have no choice but to learn it!

Although Yuchi Jingde had long recognized Li Jue's talent, when Li Jue practiced meticulously, he still stared wide-eyed, too nervous to even breathe, for fear of disturbing Li Jue who was recalling the moves.

A full quarter of an hour passed before Li Jue finished demonstrating Yuchi Jingde's moves, and then asked with some trepidation.

"Uncle Yu, do you think I'm up to the task?"

Yuchi Jingde was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and it wasn't until Li Jue asked again that he came back to his senses.

Is that okay?

"Remove the 'ma' character!"

"You're not just good at it, you're absolutely amazing!"

Although Li Jue's movements were very stiff, and there were even pauses between moves, it still made Yuchi Jingde's heart surge with excitement.

This child is simply a born martial arts prodigy!

He can learn such difficult combos and techniques from me after just one look. He's incredibly smart!

Your Majesty, we've decided to have your grandson! Hahaha!

Yuchi Jingde decided to write a letter to His Majesty as soon as he got home tonight, praising His Majesty's eldest grandson and securing his position as the top tutor, determined not to let His Majesty find any other tutor for the child!
