Chapter 1020 - Golden Mountain Body Refinement
"I don't know what kind of trick you're using, but you won't be able to defeat me!" Sorgi roared as he used his own body refining technique, increasing his prowess by many folds, and his body began pulsating with energy so powerful it became visible to one's eyes.
However, Yuan remained calm, his gaze as tranquil as a still lake.
"Haaaaaa!" Sorgi threw his most powerful strike yet, causing the air to tremble.
"Ha!"
Yuan also threw his own fist, his aura skyrocketing right before it collided with Sorgi's fist.
Boom!
The entire city shook as a massive ripple swept the city, and one of them flew off the stage and into many buildings before stopping.
The giants were shocked and speechless after seeing the results.
"S-Sorgi lost to a human!" One of them exclaimed, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Impossible! What happened just now?! How can a mere human have such prowess with such a tiny body?! This doesn't make any sense!"
After sending Sorgi flying off the stage, Yuan closed his eyes and took a deep breath, and he could feel the invincible feeling in his body quickly dissipating.
He looked at his hands with a wondering gaze.
'Just on earth was that strength? I experienced it during my fight with Li Jinxi before. If only I can control this power…' He sighed inwardly.
Sometime later, Sorgi returned to the stage with a blooded arm.
"Are you okay?" Yuan asked him, feeling a little bad about injuring him to such an extent.
"My muscles are torn, and my entire arm is broken, but I will be fine after some medicine." Sorgi said with a calm smile on his face.
"Giants are tough, I'll give you that." Yuan smiled back.
"Yuan, right? Here is your reward." Sorgi handed him a scroll with his other hand.
"Thank you."
After accepting the scroll, Yuan immediately opened it and memorized the content.
"Relax, I wouldn't scam you with a fake technique before so many people." Sorgi misunderstood his actions.
"By the way, there will be a major tournament next month that is held by the royal family. It's going to be something like our match just now, and I think you'll do great in it. Perhaps you might even win the grand prize, which is a Mythic-rank body refining technique." Sorgi suddenly said.
"What? A Mythic-rank body refining technique?" Yuan's eyes widened with surprise.
However, as much as he wanted to participate in the tournament, he will have to leave the Giant's Continent with the Huang Family in 14 days.
"I would love to participate, but unfortunately, my time here is limited, so I won't be able to participate."
"That's a pity. I wanted to see how you would fare against the best warriors in the Giant's Continent." Sorgi shook his head.
Sometime later, Yuan retrieved his clothes and spatial rings from Huang Xiao Li, who was staring at him with admiration.
"Yuan! You totally overwhelmed that giant! I still can't believe it! How do you train your body?!"
"It's nothing fancy. I just temper my body with medicine." He calmly said.
"Those must have been some expensive treasure since you were able to defeat a giant using your raw strength."
"No, my strength is actually weaker than Sorgi. Something else allowed me to defeat him." He shook his head.
"Huh? What?"
"I don't know. I am also trying to figure it out."
"Let's continue our tour for a little more before we head back to the hotel." Huang Xiao Li suggested.
"Sure."
Meanwhile, somewhere in the Giant's Continent, a giant that had been sitting on a throne as large as a mountain slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with dominance.
'That aura just now…'
The giant slowly stood up and turned to face the direction of the Southern Stronghold.
"Ah… Have you finally returned, my old friend? I have been waiting for this day ever since I perfected the Great Mammoth Body Refinement. I will not lose this time!"
This giant suddenly bent his knees in a way that looked like he was prepared to jump, and the next moment, he jumped, soaring towards the Southern Stronghold faster than a rocket.
About an hour after Yuan fought with Sorgi, he returned to the hotel with Huang Xiao Li.
"Father! Mother! You will not believe what happened when we were outside! Yuan fought with a giant and won!" Huang Xiao Li bragged about his match with Sorgi the moment she returned home.
"What?! He fought a giant?! What happened?! Are you guys okay?!" Huang Chen misunderstood the situation and panicked.
After all, if a human picked a fight with a giant while they were in this place, nobody would be able to save them if the giants decided to destroy them.
"It's fine, father. It wasn't a fight. It was a legit match. Yuan even won a Divine-rank technique from it." Huang Xiao Li cleared up the misunderstanding.
"Seriously? Yuan, you're truly full of surprises."
