Under everyone's gaze, Li Hu held the broad axe and retreated several steps before he could stabilize his body.
"Take this."
Tang Feng shouted and instantly moved.
As his body moved, his speed instantly reached a terrifying level.
"What a fast speed." The woman with the red horsetail whisk standing beside Li Jing said in a low voice.
Li Jing stood there and watched as Tang Feng charged forward with his spear in hand. The smile on his face grew wider and wider. He nodded lightly, as if he was very satisfied with Tang Feng's performance.
Meanwhile, Li Wan, who was standing at the door of the house, was completely silent.
She looked at Tang Feng with a complicated expression. Although she didn't want to admit it, she had to admit that no young general she had ever seen was faster than Tang Feng.
Li Hu, who had just steadied himself, saw Tang Feng rushing over with a gust of wind, and his expression changed.
He instinctively raised his broad axe.
The moment he raised his axe, Tang Feng's spear arrived.
The sharp spearhead moved in a strange trajectory, avoiding the axe in front of Li Hu and heading straight for Li Hu's throat.
"Tang Feng."
When he saw this scene, Li Jing's expression changed slightly and he could not help but shout.
Looking at the spearhead that avoided his axe and headed for his neck, Li Hu felt the arrival of death. His burly body tensed up. In the end, he could only choose to close his eyes and wait for death.
However, when he closed his eyes, the spear did not pierce his throat.
When he opened his eyes again, what he saw was the basin with a faint smile on it. The sharp spearhead of the long spear that was like a poisonous snake was almost stuck to the skin of his neck.
He could even feel the stinging sensation when the spearhead touched his skin.
"Alright."
In the courtyard, Li Jing's sonorous voice rang out. In this voice, there was clearly some gratification and praise.
"If your father knew that you had some achievements in martial arts, he would be able to smile even in the afterlife.”Li Jing walked up and slapped Tang Feng's shoulder with his huge palm.
Tang Feng, who had been secretly happy about defeating Li Hu so easily, almost staggered and fell to the ground when he was slapped.
Although he knew that Li Jing's martial arts were impressive, he did not expect the Great Tang's God of War to be so strong.
His body had already been strengthened by the Overlord's power and was much stronger than ordinary people. However, he could not withstand a casual slap from Li Jing. How strong was his father-in-law's true martial strength?
Among the founding generals of the Great Tang, Li Jing was famous for his military strategy. As for his martial strength, no one paid much attention to him.
But from this slap, Li Jing's martial prowess could be ranked in the top five among the founding generals of the Great Tang.
To be able to survive in the quagmire of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, no one was easy to get along with.
At the thought of this, Tang Feng's little pride from defeating Li Hu instantly disappeared without a trace.
Even though he was already considered a Second-Grade General, there was still a huge gap between him and these famous generals in history. He still had a long way to go in the future and needed to continue working hard.
However, he had the Martial God chat group. He believed that in the near future, he would be able to catch up to these older experts.
Facing Li Jing's praise, Tang Feng humbly cupped his hands and bowed.
Then, he looked around and saw Li Wan standing at the door of the house. Their eyes met for a moment. Li Wan immediately turned around and went back into the house.
"Father-in-law, can I join the army?”Tang Feng looked at Li Jing and asked.
"With your martial arts skills, it is enough for you to be a deputy general. If it was in the past, I could directly recommend you to be a general. However, now that the four sides have settled down, if you want to join the army, you can only start as a low-level officer.”Li Jing muttered.
Tang Feng, who was a descendant of Li Jing, naturally understood what Li Jing meant.
If he had been born more than ten years earlier and joined the army before the Tang Empire was established, he could have easily become a general in the Tang army with his martial arts skills. However, it had been sixteen years since the Tang Empire was established. Although the Tang army was still fighting here, generally speaking, it was no longer possible to make an exception and recruit him directly like in the past.
The Great Tang was proud of its soldiers, and the promotion of soldiers depended on their own merits on the battlefield.
Especially in the early days of the Great Tang, it was almost impossible to rely on nepotism to climb to high positions.
"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. It just so happens that a month ago, His Majesty issued an edict to hold a grand martial competition in the capital's martial arts practice field. All the children of the various families can participate.”Li Jing continued.
"If you can get into the top three in this competition, you will have no problem becoming a lieutenant.”
Tang Feng's eyes lit up.
It seemed that his luck was not bad. He had just arrived in Chang 'an and received the Martial God's chat group, and he had just caught up with the martial arts competition organized by Emperor Tang himself.
As long as he could enter the top three, he would not have to start from a low-level officer in the army and would directly enter the ranks of middle-level officers. This was enough to save him several years of time.
"Father-in-law, please sign me up." He bowed to Li Jing and said in a clear voice.
Li Jing laughed loudly and slapped his shoulder twice.
"Don't worry, even if you don't want to participate, I will force you to participate.”Li Jing's hearty laughter echoed in the courtyard.
Tang Feng touched his shoulder and grimaced in pain.
