As they talked, the group left the main room, and the whole family, young and old, headed towards the training ground.

The room became much quieter. The three ladies watched as the group of men and boys left, and they felt a little itchy to go back.

"Mother, let's go see those wooden stakes that can be used to hit people!"

The old lady's gaze swept over her three daughters-in-law one by one, and she knew that they definitely couldn't sit still.

"Let's go, I'd like to see the wooden stake that can be used to hit people."

Before long, the group arrived at the martial arts arena in a grand procession. Almost all the masters of the Duke's mansion, big and small, were present.

The three masters of the Chu family took out the drawings and compared them with the actual object, and once again marveled at how perfect and impeccable Hang Shuheng's drawings were.

"Wow, that's amazing! It's practically identical!"

The three men almost veered off course again, but they managed to stop in time and began to focus on the so-called wooden stake that was supposed to be able to hit people, which was right in front of them.

"Is this the wooden stake that used to hit people?" Third Master Chu walked around the stake suspiciously, then looked at Chu Xuan and asked, "Is that the thing that hit you on the forehead?"

Before Chu Xuan could speak, a group of kids were already scrambling to answer.

"Yes, yes, Third Grandfather, Uncle was hit by this wooden stake."

"Uncle, you're so shameful! You can't even beat a wooden stake."

Chu Xuan was very frustrated. He felt that if these kids kept making a fuss like this, it wouldn't be long before the whole capital knew that he couldn't even beat a wooden stake.

In that case, his lifelong reputation would be ruined.

"You're hopeless. You think you can get away with something like this? You've wasted all your martial arts skills?"

Chu Xuan had learned his lesson from this wooden stake, and he wanted to see others go through the same experience. Taking advantage of the fact that his father hadn't tried it before, he decided to trick him.

"I'm at a disadvantage because I'm not as skilled as others. If you're so good, then you do it."

"I'll go if I want to."

When Third Master Chu saw the way Chu Xuan was pouting, he knew the kid was up to no good. He took off his heavy cloak and threw it at Chu Xuan, saying, "Catch."

Chu Xuan caught it precisely, slyly waiting to see his father make a fool of himself.

However, he was destined to be disappointed. After all, Third Master Chu was a military commander who had led troops in battle for so many years. How could he possibly suffer a loss at the hands of a mere wooden stake?

After finishing one round, Master Chu had only reached the level of a warm-up.

"This is the first time I've ever sparred with a wooden stake. It's quite interesting."

However, he could see the purpose of this thing, and it was not difficult for a meticulous and cautious person to deal with.

Third Master Chu glanced disdainfully at Chu Xuan, who was still sulking to the side. Now he understood why Hang Shuheng had gone to such lengths to create this wooden contraption for that kid. It was tailor-made for those dim-witted people who didn't even realize it.

If you lack cleverness, make up for it with diligence.

Given Chu Xuan's restless nature, if he were to practice diligently in front of this wooden stake day after day, he would eventually develop muscle memory, and in the future, when faced with danger, his limbs would react before his brain.

This young man is no ordinary person! This was Chu Sanye's assessment of Hang Shuheng at this moment.

Chu Xuan was completely unaware that his father had labeled him as a simpleton. He stared intently at the wooden stake that had humiliated him, as if he wanted to bore a hole through it.
