"You, a mere human, wishes to challenge me, a giant, to a match of strength?! Ahahaha! This is the funniest joke I have heard all week long!" The 11-meters tall giant laughed out loud after being challenged by Yuan, his laughter causing the air to tremble.

"Why not? It's not our size that matters, but our strength, right?" Yuan responded with a calm smile on his face.

"Is this your first time to the Giant's Continent, little guy? Have you ever fought a giant before? Giants are at the top when it comes to natural strength! No human has ever beaten a giant when it comes to pure strength! I'm afraid that I might accidentally kill you if we fought! However, if you're still willing to take such a risk, then I will gladly be your opponent!"

"I am willing to take such a risk." Yuan nodded with confidence.

"Good! Then allow me to tell you some rules!" The giant said.

And he continued, "First of all, no weapons or treasures of any kind are allowed! If you have any on your right now, put them away!"

Yuan nodded and stored the Invisible Dragon Cloak into his Dragon Spatial Ring.

"Two! You are not allowed to use any offensive techniques! However, defensive techniques are allowed!"

"The third rule is that you are not allowed to dodge! You will have to endure every blow with your body! The same goes for me!"

"Final rule— the first one to give up or fall unconscious will lose!"

"Now that you know the rules, do you still wish to continue? I will give you one last chance to walk away, human brat!"

Yuan smiled and said, "It feels weird that you're addressing me in a way that makes it seem as though you're not human. I mean, I get it. Your ancestors transformed your blood through a godly technique, but it's not like you're no longer human. Unlike a demon, you still look human to me."

The place turned silent after Yuan's little speech.

'Oh no… That idiot!' Huang Xiao Li cried inwardly after sensing the change in the atmosphere.

Unbeknownst to Yuan, it was an unspoken rule within the Giant's Continent that you're not supposed to call giants 'humans'.

"How… dare… YOU!!! How dare you call me a human!" The giant on the stage suddenly roared with a red face.

"I take back what I just said! You're not allowed to quit anymore! We're going to fight to death now!" He roared, causing the air to tremble.

The giants watching the match began shouting like a group of warriors before a big battle, causing the ground and buildings there to shake violently.

Yuan was a little surprised by the giants' reaction.

'They're offended because I called them humans? What a blunder. Now I have a target on my back,' he sighed inwardly after realizing the situation.

"Are you ready to fight?!" The giant asked him sometime later.

"Yes, I am ready." He nodded.

"THEN HERE I COME!"

The giant wasted no time throwing his first punch, and a fist the size of a large boulder flew at Yuan's small figure in comparison.

Although he was unable to dodge the attack, the giant didn't say anything about not being able to strike back, so he also threw his own punch, putting all of his strength behind it.

The moment their fists connected with each other, a powerful ripple swept the scene, surprising everyone there. Though what shocked them even more was the fact that Yuan, a mere human, was not only able to survive the giant's attack but even stop it.

However, it was not perfect. Yuan had been pushed back several steps while the giant remained unmoving like a mountain.

'Looks like I have underestimated the strength of giants…' Yuan thought to himself after feeling a numbing sensation in not only his fist but the rest of his arm as well.

Furthemore, he's already used all of his strength in that last exchange, yet he couldn't push back the giant even slightly. The chances of him winning this match in his current state was slim to none.

Despite that, Yuan didn't give up, and he was even smiling.

'It's been a while since I have faced such a strong opponent— an opponent that I cannot defeat easily! This is great!' He laughed inwardly.

The giant was also quite surprised when Yuan managed to stop his fist.

'Even though his attack seemed ordinary and ineffective, the spot he struck felt like it had been stabbed with a needle and actually hurts like hell! Where did such a formidable human come from?!' He cried inwardly but acted completely tranquil outside.

"You… I don't think I have heard your name yet. I am known as Sorgi."

The giant suddenly introduced himself as Sorgi.

"My name is Yuan."

"Good! Now let's continue our fight!" Sorgi laughed as he threw his fist at Yuan for a second time.

"Ha!"

Just like their last confrontation, Yuan blocked Sorgi's first with his own, but he was forced several steps back again.

"Let's see how long you can keep this up!" Sorgi roared as he threw the third strike without giving Yuan any time to rest, then a fourth, and a fifth.

Huang Xiao Li and the other giants watched with their mouths wide open, not daring to believe their eyes.

"Do you think he's cheating?" One of the giants there suddenly threw out this thought.

"He's definitely cheating! There's no way a human like him could rival a giant in raw strength! He must be hiding a treasure somewhere in his body!"

When the giants started accusing Yuan of secretly using a treasure, the match stopped temporarily.

"You think I am cheating?" Yuan looked at the crowd of giants with his eyebrows raised slightly.

"Of course! Otherwise, how else can you hold your own against a giant?! Not even body refiners are capable of such a feat!" The giants responded.

"Is that so?" Yuan mumbled.

He turned to look at Sorgi and asked him, "What about you? Do you think I am cheating?"

Sorgi frowned after hearing this question.

Although he didn't want to accuse Yuan of cheating, his pride as a giant didn't think it was possible for a human to match him.

"I see…" Even though Sorgi hasn't said a word yet, Yuan already knew the answer by looking at the expression on his face.

"If you think I am cheating, then I don't mind letting you search my body. I will even hand over my clothes and spatial rings to my friend during the match. What do you think?" He suggested.

"There's no need to search your body." Sorgi responded after a moment of silence.

And he continued, "But you can leave your clothes and spatial ring with your friend. If you can prove to everyone here that you're not cheating, I will compensate you for this misunderstanding."

"Very well." Yuan nodded.

He proceeded to remove his clothes until he was wearing nothing but his underwear, revealing to everyone there his sweaty but refined body.

Even Sorgi was surprised when he saw Yuan's body that looked like it had been carefully sculpted by the heavens itself.

"Xiao Li, can you hold these for me for a bit?" Yuan asked her, who was blushing from ear to ear after seeing his half-naked body.

After handing Huang Xiao Li his clothes and spatial rings, Yuan returned to the stage with only his underwear.

"I am ready." He said with a cold expression on his face.

Sorgi swallowed nervously, and he could feel an uneasy feeling welling up inside his guts.

The two of them continued to throw fists at each other shortly after.

'T-This is! He's gotten even stronger than before! How is this possible?!' Sorgi was shocked inwardly after sensing the immense force behind Yuan's first strike after the brief break.

However, that was not the end of his shock, as Sorgi could feel Yuan's attacks continuously growing stronger with every strike.

As time passed and the number of strikes they threw at each other increased, Yuan's eyes started turning golden, and his body began emanating an unfathomable aura that made it seem as though an unparalleled entity had descended from the heavens.

Soon even, Yuan's body was enveloped by a golden aura that made him feel invincible— like he was an unrivaled god.

When Sorgi and the spectators saw this, they all subconsciously swallowed nervously.

'What kind of technique is he using?! I have a really bad feeling about this!' Sorgi cried inwardly as he stared at Yuan's shimmering figure.
