Hu Gaoshan's gaze was vacant. He couldn't believe the numbers displayed on the instrument.
Five hundred meters?
How could this be? How could Wu Tian jump five hundred meters high? It was an unscientific thought!
Seeing the stunned expressions of the father and son, Wu Tian smiled and said, "Why have you both gone silent?"
"Don't you both like to talk? Hurry up, say a few more words for me to hear."
Hu Gaoshan finally managed to regain some composure.
He looked at Wu Tian and said, "You... who exactly are you? How can your Qinggong be better than mine?"
Wu Tian smiled and shook his head, saying, "Qinggong? I'm sorry, I've never learned that stuff. You flatter me too much."
"You haven't learned it?" Hu Gaoshan didn't believe Wu Tian, "Impossible, you absolutely couldn't have not learned Qinggong!"
"I know that the people of Bashan Sect have profound inner strength, but Qinggong isn't solely dependent on inner strength!"
"You must be hiding something from me, right? You'd better confess honestly!"
Wu Tian said, "Sect Leader Hu, first of all, I truly haven't learned any Qinggong."
"And then, even if I had, what of it?"
"Why should I explain everything to you?"
"I only care about the result now. I know I've beaten you, so consequently, this trial should be considered as passed by me, right?"
Hu Gaoshan froze abruptly, and then a deep sense of unwillingness surged in his heart.
Indeed, things were just as Wu Tian said. Regardless of Wu Tian's background, he had ultimately surpassed Hu Gaoshan's achievement, and this was undeniable.
But such a result was something he couldn't accept!
He was the sect leader of the Feitian Sect, and even he had made a move, yet he still lost to Wu Tian!
How could he possibly accept such an absurd outcome?
Wasn't this saying that even he was inferior to Wu Tian?
Moreover, Wu Tian and his son were so at odds with them. If Wu Tian took away the pass token, he would never be able to sleep peacefully for the rest of his life!
Absolutely not!
Absolutely not!
He roared in his heart.
Absolutely do not let him pass!
With this thought, his expression turned grim, and he then said to Wu Tian, "What nonsense are you spouting? Who told you that you've passed?"
"I forgot to mention earlier, you can't just jump. There must be additional conditions."
"So your previous result is void. I won't acknowledge it!"
Hearing that Hu Gaoshan could even say such a thing, Wu Tian was amused to the point of anger.
He knew Hu Gaoshan was a shameless fellow, but he hadn't expected him to be so shamelessly brazen!
But he wanted to know what trick Hu Gaoshan was planning, so he still asked, "Sect Leader Hu, you truly have a forgetful nature. Why didn't you mention such a thing at the beginning?"
Hu Gaoshan chuckled sinisterly, "Didn't I tell you I forgot? I'm usually very busy. Do you think I have the leisure to run around like you, Sect Leader Wu?"
"Regardless, I forgot, and that's that."
"If you want to pass the trial, you can only accept my additional conditions. Otherwise, I won't acknowledge you."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Alright, I understand."
"Then tell me first, what exactly are these so-called additional conditions?"
Hu Gaoshan hadn't even thought of the so-called conditions. He scanned his surroundings and suddenly spotted a large rock. A sinister smile immediately curved his lips.
He pointed at the rock and said, "The condition is simple. As long as you can jump up holding that rock and surpass my height, then I'll consider you to have passed the trial. What do you think?"
Wu Tian looked at the rock and immediately let out a cold laugh.
It was truly a feat for Hu Gaoshan to come up with such a condition!
That rock must weigh at least a hundred jin!
To jump up holding a rock weighing over a hundred jin and still surpass four hundred and eighty meters – such a condition, relying solely on inner strength and Qinggong, was impossible to achieve!
So in the end, Hu Gaoshan was clearly unwilling to let him pass the trial, which was why he deliberately stated such a condition to make things difficult for him.
Upon seeing the rock, Hu Kai also froze for a moment.
Immediately, his expression lit up, and he burst into laughter, saying, "What's wrong? Are you scared after hearing this condition?"
"No way? Weren't you quite impressive just now?"
"Why are you scared now? You don't have much strength, do you? This is too funny!"
Wu Tian looked at him calmly and said, "What right do you have to mock me? Do you still think of yourself as a decent person?"
"You!" Hu Kai's heart immediately ignited with anger as Wu Tian looked down on him.
He wanted to retort to Wu Tian, but with his strength, how could he possibly mock Wu Tian?
Therefore, he could only say angrily, "Don't try to act tough!"
"If you have the ability, do as my father said. Otherwise, don't even think about passing the trial!"
Wu Tian said calmly, "What's the matter? It's just a rock weighing over a hundred jin. Do you really think it can do anything to me?"
"How about this, aren't there two rocks over there? I might as well take both of them up."
"What did you say?!" Wu Tian's words shocked Hu Kai greatly.
He said in disbelief, "What foolishness are you talking about? Do you know what two rocks mean? If one is a hundred jin, then two would be two hundred jin!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What does that have to do with you?"
"From your perspective, the less I can pass, the better it is, isn't it?"
"What, do you actually want me to pass?"
Hu Kai froze for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I possibly think that? I just think you're too arrogant. What makes you think you can do this!"
Wu Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "That's not something you need to worry about. We only recognize the result, don't we?"
Saying this, Wu Tian looked at Hu Gaoshan again and continued to smile, "Sect Leader Hu, what do you think of the idea I proposed?"
"But I'll say this upfront, if I succeed and you go back on your word, then don't blame me for getting angry."
"After all, our Bashan Sect is not to be trifled with."
"I've tolerated your repeated backtracking, but my patience has its limits. Do you understand?"
Hu Gaoshan was displeased with Wu Tian's tone.
But he also knew that his actions had indeed gone too far.
If he truly angered Wu Tian, it would definitely be difficult to resolve.
At the same time, he also didn't believe Wu Tian could achieve the goal, so he nodded and said, "No problem, it will be as you say!"
