Zhang Kui initially looked down on Wu Tian and didn't have any particular opinions about him.
However, after hearing Wu Tian's words, he became quite displeased with him.
He nodded and said, "Alright, then today I'll ask you to let me have a good look!"
After speaking, Zhang Kui took Wu Tian to a certain place.
Upon arriving at their destination, Wu Tian discovered it was a rather spacious cave. Inside the cave, five stone pedestals were arranged vertically.
Zhang Kui introduced, "These five stone pedestals were left by our sect's founder. Each pedestal has a different weight."
"The first pedestal weighs one hundred kilograms, and each subsequent pedestal increases by one hundred kilograms."
"Currently, the highest record in our Bashan Sect is lifting a four-hundred-kilogram pedestal. That was achieved by our genius, and he is the only one in a hundred years to reach this accomplishment."
"I won't demand too much from you based on your words."
"As long as you can lift the three-hundred-kilogram pedestal, even if you just move it slightly, I will consider you to have passed the test. Can you accept this?"
Hearing Zhang Kui's words, Wu Tian sneered and said, "I thought it would be a very difficult test when I heard you talking earlier. After all this, it turns out to be just this."
"It's only a three-hundred-kilogram pedestal, do you really think I can't do it?"
"What did you say?" Wu Tian's words shocked Zhang Kui.
Immediately, he frowned and said, "Let me tell you, you must lift this stone pedestal with your bare hands. Using tools will not be recognized by me."
"Your weight looks like only about one hundred and thirty to forty kilograms, and you haven't received professional training. A person like you absolutely cannot lift the stone pedestal!"
"Is that so?" Wu Tian chuckled lightly. "I've already told you, don't speak too soon. Why don't you listen?"
"Since you say I can't lift it, then you just watch carefully. Don't even blink."
After speaking, under Zhang Kui's bewildered gaze, Wu Tian walked to the third stone pedestal.
Seeing Wu Tian's calm and composed demeanor, Zhang Kui's heart was filled with doubt.
He felt that Wu Tian could not possibly achieve such a feat; Wu Tian's words were merely bragging!
Wu Tian squatted down and attempted to lift the stone pedestal.
As expected of a three-hundred-kilogram stone pedestal, with just a tentative push, he could feel the immense weight it carried.
Seeing this, Zhang Kui immediately revealed a cold smile.
He said, "How is it? Do you know what three hundred kilograms means now? I said you couldn't do it, and you can't."
"If you could lift this stone pedestal, you'd be a world champion. Why would you still be here?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Since someone among you can lift it, why don't you participate in the Olympics?"
Zhang Kui said, "What, you don't believe that someone among us can lift it?"
"Let me tell you, our Bashan Sect has been established for so many years, and we are not just for show."
"Our 'Bashan Secret Art' is a martial art specifically designed to enhance strength, which is why we can lift things far exceeding our own body weight."
"As for why we don't participate in the Olympics, it's simply because we have no interest, not because we can't win championships!"
"So that's how it is," Wu Tian smiled. "Alright, I understand. It has cleared up my doubts."
Zhang Kui scoffed and said, "Don't waste time. No matter how much you stall, it's useless. You can't lift it, so you can't. You have already failed this test!"
Wu Tian laughed and said, "Don't be so hasty. I haven't even used my full strength yet. If you don't believe it, why don't you watch again?"
As his voice fell, Wu Tian began to channel his spiritual energy.
Zhang Kui, unaware that Wu Tian possessed spiritual energy, was about to mock Wu Tian for his stubbornness.
However, what happened next almost made his jaw drop!
The three-hundred-kilogram stone pedestal was actually lifted by Wu Tian!
"How is this possible!" Zhang Kui was stunned by such a shocking sight.
Wu Tian directly carried the stone pedestal to Zhang Kui and smiled, "What's wrong? You don't believe it? It's okay, check it again carefully, so you don't say I cheated."
Zhang Kui was completely dumbfounded.
With Wu Tian's physique, how could he possibly lift such a stone pedestal?
One must know that this was something even world champion weightlifters could not achieve!
Moreover, Wu Tian's expression looked so relaxed, and he could even walk freely while carrying the stone pedestal. He had never seen anything like it!
He said with a face full of shock, "How is this possible? It's not real, this is absolutely not real!"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "What's wrong? Are you suspecting there's something wrong with your items? If that's the case, then just check it, isn't it?"
After speaking, Wu Tian casually threw it, and the stone pedestal immediately fell to the ground, smashing a crack in the ground.
Zhang Kui walked over in surprise and tried to lift the stone pedestal. He found that there was nothing wrong with it; it was indeed the three-hundred-kilogram one.
But if that was the case, then he truly couldn't understand. Could Wu Tian really have lifted it with his own strength?
This was simply unbelievable!
Wu Tian smiled and said, "How is it? Did you find any problems? If there are no problems, then it means I have passed the test."
Zhang Kui really wanted to say there was a problem, but he was, after all, the leader of a sect. If there was no problem, then there was no problem, and he couldn't just lie with his eyes open!
He couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, then looked at Wu Tian and said, "Can you tell me how you did this? Did you learn our 'Bashan Secret Art'?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "You shouldn't say such things carelessly. This is your sect's item. If I learned it, wouldn't that be stealing?"
"It's just that if you want to know, I won't tell you. In any case, the result is the most important, isn't it?"
Zhang Kui thought carefully for a while, but he couldn't figure out the truth of the matter.
However, it didn't matter if he didn't know. What needed to be acknowledged should be acknowledged.
Otherwise, wouldn't that make their Bashan Sect petty?
Therefore, he nodded and said, "No problem, Wu Tian, you have passed our test."
"Come with me, and I'll give you the certification right away."
"Then I'll trouble you, Sect Leader Zhang." Wu Tian followed with a smile, but as soon as he reached the doorway, the person who greeted him made him freeze.
