Chapter 1022 - Tournament of Strength "What about the ship? It will leave with or without us in 14 days, right?" Yuan asked. "Yes, but it will return in 7 days for another 14 days. If we miss that, we can wait for the next one. It's really not that big of a deal. Most people that come to this continent tend to stay here for over a month, too." Huang Chen said. "Alright." The Huang Family quickly packed their stuff and checked out of the hotel. When they left the hotel, everyone in the street would stop whatever they were doing to stare at Yuan. However, nobody there dared to approach him. "Is that him? The human that His Majesty had challenged?" "Yes, that's him." "Where do you think he's going?" "According to the rumors, His Majesty is expecting to see him at the tournament next month." "What? A human participating in the Tournament of Strength? That's ridiculous." "Who knows. A human recognized by His Majesty isn't someone we should look down upon." Sometime later, Yuan's group stopped by a large building. "Since we're going to be traveling a long distance, we'll need to rent a carriage and hire a driver." Huang Chen said. "I can pay for it since I'm the reason we're making the journey." Yuan said. "It's fine. I got it." Huang Chen smiled at him. Half an hour later, Huang Chen returned to them and said, "They're preparing the carriage and our driver. They should be ready in an hour. Until then, let's go get something to eat." "Sure." They walked around until they could find a restaurant that was operated by a human, as the restaurants for giants were simply too big for them. Huang Xiao Li remembered Yuan's monstrous eating habits and ordered a full table of food just for him. As they began eating, giants would gather outside the restaurant and peek inside, all of them seemingly there to look at Yuan. "That's Tian Yang? What's so special about him?"𝒻𝑟ℯℯ𝑤𝑒𝑏𝑛𝘰𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝒸𝑜𝘮 "I don't know." "Hey! I recognize him! He fought with Sorgi earlier today and won!" "What?! Sorgi?! Seriously?! He's one of the strongest warriors in this city!" "So what if he beat Sorgi? Compared to the warriors that will be attending the Tournament of Strength, Sorgi is no different than an ant." "He didn't just beat Sorgi. He overwhelmed Sorgi, even breaking his arm! Although it was even at first, he suddenly used a mysterious power that still sends shivers down my spine when I recall it." Yuan ignored the giants watching them from outside like they were part of some kind of exhibit. However, the Huang Family was quite nervous from all of the staring. After eating, Yuan and the Huang Family made their way to the gathering point, where a large carriage made for giants was already prepared for them. "That's going to be dragging the carriage?" Yuan was expecting horses, but he got something entirely different. "Yes, that's a Green Earth Dragon. They may have the word dragon in their name but they're really just large lizards. Horses aren't used here because they're too weak for giants." Huang Xiao Li explained. "Are you guys ready?" The driver, a 7 meter-tall male giant, asked them. "Yes, we're ready." Huang Chen nodded. The giant nodded back and commanded the Green Earth Dragon to move, dragging the carriage away from the Southern Stronghold and towards Colossal Mammoth City. "How much do you guys know about the tournament?" Yuan asked the Huang Family as they moved. "Not much except that it's the biggest event in the entire continent that only occurs every hundred years." Huang Chen said. "I believe it's called the Tournament of Strength. The strongest warriors from around the world will participate in it. The winners will not only receive a powerful technique but also the title of Colossal, something that can only be held by the strongest person in the continent." "If you win this tournament, you can expect unimaginable wealth and fame within the Giant's Continent. Rumors even say that you'll be able to join the Royal Family by marrying one of their princesses." Huang Xiao Li added. "The Royal Family… That would be the Giant Emperor's family, right?" Yuan asked for confirmation. "That's right. Giant Emperor Kulas is not only the strongest entity in this world but also the most influential. His words are the law and his actions are akin to nature. Nobody dares to oppose him." "Do you think you'll be able to win the tournament?" She asked a moment later. Yuan immediately shook his head with a bittersweet smile, "In my current state? I don't think so." "Really? Even though the Giant Emperor wanted you to participate?" "I have no idea what that guy has in his mind." He shrugged. Sometime later, the driver suddenly shouted, "We have incoming magical beasts!" They stopped talking and looked in front of them, where a single beast that stood on two legs could be seen blocking the road. "That's a Wingless Dragon! And it's emitting the strength of a Spirit Emperor!" Qin Kai exclaimed. "If there's only one of them, I can handle it." Yuan said as he leaped from the carriage and into the sky, where he quickly charged up a Heaven Splitting Sword Strike. Whoosh! The Wingless Dragon was consumed by the Heaven Splitting Sword Strike, disappearing alongside the road, where a large crater now existed. The giant stopped the carriage for a moment to look at Yuan with wide eyes, seemingly not daring to believe his eyes. Once Yuan returned to the carriage, the giant continued to drive the carriage. "Wow! That was amazing!" Huang Xiao Li exclaimed. "If only you could use spiritual attacks at the tournament, you would definitely win!" "If only…" He smiled. 'If I want to win the tournament, I will need to temper my body even more. If only I could use the golden aura at will… Since I cannot do that, I will need to think of another way to increase my chances of winning…' After pondering for some time, Yuan recalled the nameless technique being trained by Li Jinxi. 'Perhaps I can use that temporarily…' He thought inwardly.
