Ye Jingtang nodded slightly. He held the spear with both hands and shook it violently.
Bang!
The spear shaft vibrated violently, emitting an explosive sound.
Ye Jingtang’s robe swelled, and a gust of wind suddenly rose in the hall, instantly blowing Dongfang Liren’s robe.
Whoosh!
Ye Jingtang’s eyes narrowed slightly. He held the spear with one hand and moved it behind him until he held the end of the spear with his right hand. The tip of the spear touched the ground and made a soft ding.
In the next moment, Ye Jingtang shouted, “Haa!”
The sound was like thunder, and his entire body suddenly tensed up.
The Yellow Dragon Crouching, a move that could shake mountains and destroy cities, was about to rush out from in front of him and strike at Dongfang Liren, who was 30 feet away.
Dongfang Liren was holding her spear and looking with full concentration when she found the overwhelming pressure of a mountain pressing down on her, as if it was going to demolish Jasper Pavilion with a single strike. She didn’t dare to stand in front of it. With a swish, she jumped back and landed directly on the stairs at the edge of the hall.
Whoosh!
Ye Jingtang, who was ready to strike, stopped and looked at the coward who had jumped far away. “Your Highness?”
After Dongfang Liren placed one hand behind her back and maintained her expert aura, she said unhappily, “1 asked you to demonstrate. Why are you shouting so loudly? Forget it. Just teach me the moves directly. I will figure it out on my own.”
Ye Jingtang didn’t laugh at her for being a coward. He began to practice slowly with the spear and teach the spear moves of the Overlord Spear.
Dongfang Liren’s martial arts talent was actually not bad. It was just that there was a gap between her and the top prodigies of Jianghu. She stood at the side and observed. She memorized the moves after just one demonstration.
After Ye Jingtang finished teaching, he stood at the side and observed like an old master.
Dongfang Liren didn’t think much of it at first, but after practicing for half an hour, she still hadn’t figured out the qi circulation method. From the corner of her eye, she saw the cold young master beside her with one hand behind his back and a complicated expression in his eyes. He even shook his head imperceptibly.
Seeing her look over, Ye Jingtang hurriedly put on a smiling and approving look.
Dongfang Liren felt insulted. If not for the fact that she couldn’t beat him, she would have raised her spear and swatted Ye Jingtang a few times. Her expression darkened. “If you have nothing to do, go to the dungeon to interrogate the prisoners. I can practice by myself.”
Ye Jingtang had no intention of discriminating against Dumdum. He just felt that it was a little painful to the eyes.
Since he had to teach her spearmanship, he had to teach her well. Ye Jingtang deliberated for a moment before coming behind Dongfang Liren. He held her hands, hooked his feet around Dongfang Liren’s feet, and slowly slid them to the side. “The Overlord Spear opens widely and closes widely. You have to put on a bigger stance and stick out your chest.”
Dongfang Liren almost leaned into Ye Jingtang’s arms. The man’s breath brushed past her ear, and her face immediately turned a little red. But she still followed her master’s teachings, straightened her fat-headed dragon, and stood firmly with her spear.
Ye Jingtang’s right hand moved along her shoulder and sensed the exerting of strength in her muscles. He moved his hand from under her ribs to the side of her waist until it touched her flat abdomen. “Lower your back and tense up.”
Dongfang Liren blinked and tightened her waist and abdomen. Maintaining the dignified and noble posture of a princess, she said solemnly, “Ye Jingtang, pay… pay attention.”
Ye Jingtang’s expression was earnest. He squeezed Dumdum’s arm and corrected the wrong places. “Practicing martial arts isn’t child’s play. Although Your Highness doesn’t need it, Your Highness can’t be careless. Back then, when I was practicing martial arts, if I stood with the wrong posture, my foster father would hit me with a stick. If I stood correctly, 1 would still be hit. When I could stabilize myself and my legs wouldn’t sway when the stick hit, 1 was considered to have met the standard.
“I’m so talented, and I have been practicing for fifteen years, from the age of three to the age of eighteen, before I had my current accumulation. Your Highness won’t be to practice real martial arts by practicing like this…”
The man’s gentle voice blew against her ear as he massaged her body with both hands. Dongfang Liren knew that this was to correct her posture, but Ye Jingtang was doing it…
She didn’t seem to have any objection…
After adapting for a moment, Dongfang Liren slowly suppressed the distracting thoughts in her heart and looked forward with a sharp gaze. “I understand this truth. Since you’re teaching martial arts, you can let go. Correct me if anything needs correcting. There’s no need to be reserved because of my identity.”
Ye Jingtang looked at Dongfang Liren’s side profile. “Is Your Highness sure?”
“As long as your actions are reasonable, when have 1 ever made things difficult for you?” Dongfang Liren tried her best to put on a good attitude. “If you want to teach, teach well.”
Ye Jingtang was indeed a little hesitant. He reminded, “Strength should start from the ground, first to the legs, then to the waist and hips, then to the chest and abdomen, and then to the arms. It should form a line. Your Highness’s application of strength is wrong in many aspects. If I want to figure out the situation, I’ll probably have to squeeze all the way…”
Dongfang Liren understood what Ye Jingtang meant. After some consideration, she put on a calm expression as if she was eager to learn. “As… as long as you don’t have evil intentions and teach me spearmanship seriously, how can 1 blame you? Just squeeze where you need to.”
Hearing this, Ye Jingtang passed his right hand under her ribs and placed it under the fat-headed dragon on the right. He carefully sensed the strength of her chest muscles.
Dongfang Liren felt that she was being hugged. She was unsure if this counted as touching her chest. She could sense Ye Jingtang’s restraint and efforts not to make her feel embarrassed. She pursed her lips and put on a serious expression. “You aren’t even putting your hands on the place where 1 exert strength. How can you sense anything?”
Ye Jingtang blinked. Hearing Dumdum’s words, he no longer restrained himself. He rubbed the fat-headed dragon up a little and carefully sensed the situation of her muscles exerting strength.
Dongfang Liren’s eyelashes fluttered, but she quickly stood straight again. Her face was red, and she didn’t say a word.
“Stick out your chest and raise your head. Don’t shrink back. Your Highness isn’t standing as well as before,” Ye Jingtang reminded calmly.
Dongfang Liren gritted her teeth and assumed a spear stance. She tried her best to adjust the way she exerted strength. The tip of the Black Qilin Spear in her hand trembled slightly in the air before she held it firmly..
