Hao Jian had his own thoughts; his current strength wasn't the strongest in the Inner Sect.
Many inner sect disciples were harboring a determination to seize the only three elite disciple slots, and he wasn't very confident.
If Chu Feng taught him a powerful martial art, his strength could undergo a qualitative leap—a good martial art is extremely valuable!
In a situation where their strengths were similar, the quality of martial arts would be the key to deciding victory or defeat, which was why he readily agreed.
He believed that with Chu Feng teaching him a powerful martial art, let alone defeating Ye Fan, even vying for the top inner sect disciple wasn't impossible.
In doing so, not only could he cripple the eyesore Ye Fan, he could also shine in front of all the inner sect disciples and take the opportunity to squeeze into the ranks of elite disciples. Why not?
