Li Gang was momentarily stunned. Could this person before him really be the one Su Qiannai had mentioned?
Such a thing was almost unbelievable to him.
After two seconds, Wu Tian smiled again and said, "No, I'm wondering why you're still dazed."
"Didn't you hear what I said clearly? If you don't plan to test me, that's fine. You can just pass me directly."
Li Gang snapped back to reality, suppressing the shock in his heart.
He said to Wu Tian in a deep voice, "What nonsense are you spouting?"
"The task Miss Su left us, how could we let you pass so easily?"
"Exactly. I believe Sect Leader Li is not that kind of person either." Wu Tian continued to smile. "Since that's the case, Sect Leader Li, please arrange it for me quickly. After I pass, I still need to go to the next place."
Hearing Wu Tian's words, Li Gang immediately felt a surge of dissatisfaction.
He stared at Wu Tian and said, "What do you mean by that? Do you think the trials of our Mad Sword Sect are so easy to pass?"
Wu Tian shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to target you."
"I just think that your Five Sects and Six Teachings combined are nothing special. These so-called trials are not a big deal to me."
Li Gang became even more displeased and said, "You truly are as arrogant as ever."
"I don't care how many trials you've passed, but if you want to pass our Mad Sword Sect, save your breath!"
"Do you know what our Mad Sword Sect's trial is? It's to defeat me! If you can't defeat me, then I absolutely will not acknowledge you!"
Wu Tian continued to laugh, "I thought it was some great trial, spoken so frighteningly, but it's just this."
"Alright, if that's the case, then quickly prepare the venue. Don't waste time."
In fact, the Mad Sword Sect's trial was not initially to defeat Li Gang, but merely to defeat the chief disciple of the Mad Sword Sect.
However, Li Gang harbored immense animosity towards Wu Tian. Since Wu Tian had delivered himself to their doorstep, Li Gang intended to teach him a lesson personally.
Yet, Li Gang hadn't anticipated that even after saying such a thing, Wu Tian could remain so calm. This made him feel as though he was being ignored by Wu Tian.
He gritted his teeth and said, "It seems you are truly full of confidence in yourself."
"That's right, you did block me before, but do you think that's all the skill I possess?"
"Let me tell you, I with my sword and I without my sword are two entirely different matters!"
"Once you witness our 'Mad Sword Art,' you will regret offending me!"
Wu Tian nodded and said, "Understood, but can you stop boasting? If you have any skills, isn't it better to show them in a real fight? What's the point of all this talk?"
Anger threatened to consume Li Gang's heart.
He had made up his mind. Since Wu Tian was so arrogant, he would no longer care if Wu Tian was someone from Su Qiannai's faction.
At that time, he would unleash his full power, even if it meant crippling Wu Tian!
He said grimly, "You can be as presumptuous as you want for now, as you won't be jumping around for much longer. I'll start making arrangements now. Come with me."
With that, he walked in directly, and Wu Tian followed.
Upon arriving at the training grounds, Wu Tian saw hundreds of disciples practicing martial arts on the vast square. The scene was lively.
After Li Gang explained the situation to everyone, all the disciples immediately stopped their training. They then formed a large circle, looking at Li Gang and Wu Tian with anticipation.
Li Gang held his sword, his heart filled with confidence.
He said to Wu Tian, "Kid, don't say I'm bullying the young. I'll use my sword, and you can use whatever you want."
"There's such a good thing?" Wu Tian smiled. "It seems Sect Leader Li truly has superior swordsmanship, to be able to accommodate me with such conditions."
"But I'm sorry, I don't have the habit of bullying the elderly, so since you're using a sword, perhaps I should use a sword as well."
With that, Wu Tian waved his hand, and the Ben Lei Sword immediately appeared in his hand.
Upon seeing the Ben Lei Sword, Li Gang was surprised and said, "What sword is that in your hand? Why does it look so extraordinary? Do you really know swordsmanship?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "I wouldn't say I know it, just a little."
"As for this sword, it's just a cheap item. It's nothing compared to your three-hundred-million-dollar treasure sword, Sect Leader Li."
Seeing Wu Tian bring up that matter again, Li Gang's heart tightened slightly.
All the elders were present at the scene. If this matter were brought up, it would not be good.
So, he quickly changed the subject and said angrily to Wu Tian, "Nonsense! I think you're just a kid who hasn't learned his lesson!"
"Since you're facing me today, I'll let you taste what true pressure is!"
With that, Li Gang no longer wanted to banter with Wu Tian. He drew his sword and rushed towards Wu Tian.
Wu Tian had already learned the 'Swift Thunder Sword Technique,' so he had no issues with using a sword.
He and Li Gang quickly engaged, their sword lights clashing, and the square echoed with clear, sharp clangor.
Li Gang harbored a deep hatred for Wu Tian, so he showed no mercy in his attacks. Essentially, every move was aimed at Wu Tian's vital points.
His swordsmanship was very proficient, befitting his status as sect leader. Each move was executed with great flexibility.
An ordinary master swordsman would likely not last three moves against him.
However, the sword techniques he had learned were merely martial arts. To Wu Tian, they were not particularly formidable skills.
The two sparred for over ten rounds before separating.
The clangor slowly faded into the air, and the onlookers were all dumbfounded.
The exchange of blows just now was too spectacular. Each move and each stance was even more brilliant than depicted in sword manuals, truly awe-inspiring.
After a brief exchange with Wu Tian, Li Gang was filled with surprise.
He had aimed for a decisive victory, but he hadn't expected Wu Tian to be so formidable. His defense was watertight, leaving him no opening.
He couldn't help but say in a deep voice, "Kid, who did you learn your swordsmanship from?"
"At your age, to possess such exquisite swordsmanship, your master's reputation must be considerable."
"Tell me, perhaps your master and I are friends."
