Luo Bing and the others stared at the giant in terror. Its entire body was covered in runes. When it woke up, its heartbeat had disappeared, but its pressure began to slowly bloom. Its voice echoed through the arena, making the whole world tremble.
It seemed that just one roar from it could shatter everyone to ashes. The bone book said to tame it—what a ridiculous joke.
Challenge? What challenge are you supposed to use? For a moment, everyone's gaze turned to Long Chen and Bai Shishi.
"That's right, we're here to challenge you. Let's start the ceremony." Long Chen looked at the giant, showing no fear at all, and said arrogantly. Even Bai Shishi was startled.
"Buzz!"
As Long Chen finished speaking, the giant's giant hand opened, and in front of Long Chen and Bai Shishi, a snow-white sphere of light about a foot in diameter appeared.
"Put your hand on it, and the ceremony begins." The giant said.
"Big guy, get ready, I have to ...,"
Long Chen chuckled, suddenly grabbing Bai Shishi's jade-like hand that was covering frost and snow, pressing it down on the orb.
Bai Shishi never expected that Long Chen, after all the boasting and arrogant demeanor he had made before, would actually try to trick her and challenge this terrifying giant.
Long Chen's move was lightning-fast, but Bai Shishi's reaction was extremely fast. Just as her jade hand was about to press onto the orb, a golden light suddenly appeared on it. Long Chen felt as if he was gripping a greasy-coated loach. Bai Shishi moved lightly, and her jade hand actually slipped out of his.
"Smack!"
By the time Long Chen reacted, his large hand had already slapped the orb of light. For a moment, the air seemed to freeze, and everyone stared at him.
"Serves you right."
When Long Chen grabbed Bai Shishi's hand and pressed it against the light orb, the experts of the Celestial Maiden Alliance were furious. But when Long Chen failed to harm others and ended up harming himself, they immediately began to gloat at their misfortune.
Bai Shishi looked at Long Chen's blank expression, her delicate lips curling into a beautiful smile, her autumn-like eyes full of laughter.
"What are you laughing at? This was supposed to be a tremendous opportunity, but I didn't want it and wanted to give it to you, but you didn't appreciate it. Long Chen looked at Bai Shishi and said irritably.
"I appreciate your kindness. I'll let you have the opportunity. Good luck." Bai Shishi smiled. When a beauty smiled, it was like peach blossoms blooming, melting everyone's heart. However, there was a hint of humor in her eyes. Clearly, she didn't believe Long Chen's good intentions at all.
"Buzz!"
At that moment, the orb of light wrapped around Long Chen and landed in front of the giant. The orb rapidly expanded, enveloping the entire arena. The orb was actually a barrier, and once the barrier was activated, they could no longer hear any sound.
The barrier appeared, and even the giant's terrifying aura vanished. It seemed as if the massive boulder weighing down on them was lifted, and everyone felt much lighter.
"Third Brother, are you alright?" Mu Qingyun looked at Long Chen with some concern.
At this moment, Long Chen stood before the hundred-zhang giant, as insignificant as an ant, as if the giant could crush him with just a flick of his finger.
"It's fine. This should be a kind of trial. Although that giant is terrifying, it doesn't have any murderous intent. It won't kill anyone, so that's why Long Chen wanted to trick me." Bai Shishi said.
Upon hearing this, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief. The disciples of the Celestial Maiden Alliance had somewhat lessened their dislike toward Long Chen. Both Long Chen and Bai Shishi knew that the giant had no murderous intent, so they were just joking around with her.
Long Chen was summoned into the arena, looking up at the terrifying giant. This guy was too tall.
"According to my agreement with Yinglu, if you can defeat me at the same realm, I will recognize you as my master.
But you've left me here for too long. Unknowingly, I condensed the King's Crystal in my sleep. Even if my cultivation is suppressed to the extreme, it can only be suppressed at the peak of your Human Clan's Four Extremes.
For fairness, how about this: as long as you can withstand the power of a finger from my Four Extremes Realm, even if you win, what then? The giant spoke.
The giant spoke in his usual tone, but to Long Chen's ears, it sounded like thunder exploding, shaking his head so hard it felt like it was about to explode.
"Bro, can you speak a little lower? It's giving me a headache." Long Chen clutched his head; this guy was terrifying.
"Alright, I'll try to keep my voice down." The giant nodded, actually lowering his voice. Even with that, the void still rumbled loudly, but it was much better than before. Long Chen's head hurt less now.
"Let's get started."
After the giant finished speaking, he was about to make a move, but Long Chen suddenly said, "Wait, how long has it been since you fought someone?" "
I don't know. I lost the bet with Yinglu that time, so I kept my promise and stayed here, waiting for someone to challenge me.
I waited a long time with no one coming, so I kept sleeping. I have no concept of how long you humans have been. The giant shook his head.
"So you haven't fought anyone in ages?" Long Chen asked.
"Yes."
"Then can you precisely control ten percent of your power?" Long Chen asked again.
"This is hard to control, but it's worth a try." The giant hesitated for a moment and said.
Sweat broke out on Long Chen's forehead. If he could control it precisely and maintain a tenth of the peak power of the Four Extremes, he could still give it a try.
But it hadn't fought anyone in years. If it couldn't control even one thing, turning ten percent into twenty percent, or even thirty percent, wouldn't it be crushed to death? That would be a huge injustice.
"Then forget it. My cultivation technique still has some issues. I can't go all out. I'm at a disadvantage." Long Chen shook his head and said.
"Huh?" So, have you given up on the challenge? The giant was actually a bit disappointed.
"It's not about giving up on the challenge; we're looking into whether we can find a solution that works best for both worlds.
By the way, you must be from the Tianshi Spirit Clan, known as the most trustworthy race in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. Long Chen asked.
The Heavenly Stone Spirit Clan is not human, but a kind of stone spirit. They are nurtured by heaven and earth and are the longest-lived beings among the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
They are inherently kind-hearted, but they are not friendly toward the human race. Historically, the Tianshi Spirit Clan has suffered countless losses from the human race, fought several wars, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The cultivation method of the Tianshi Spirit Clan is sleep, lasting thousands to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years. If not disturbed, they usually only awaken during advancement.
Through inquiries, Long Chen learned that the Tianshi Spirit Clan's powerhouse had been deceived by people from the Qinghe Sect, lost a bet, and then kept his promise, waiting for someone to defeat him and recognize that person as their leader.
After his master died, even if he fulfilled his promise, no one had challenged him for so many years, so he remained in a deep sleep. Now, who knows how many years the Xinghe Sect had been destroyed, yet he was still asleep, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
At this point, a smile appeared on Long Chen's face, like a big bad wolf looking at a little lamb:
"Bro, stop competing, why bother with all that effort?", just recognize me as the master, how about I take you around to have fun? "
