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.”

“It’s nothing much,” he said with a smile.

“Anyways, I am going to study this new technique that I acquired. If you need me, don’t hesitate to interrupt me.” He said to them before going into another room.

Sometime later.

[You have learned Golden Mountain Body Refinement]

[Golden Mountain Body Refinement]

[Rank: Divine]

[Mastery Level: 1]

[Description: Strengthens your body to become even tougher than that of a mountain made of pure gold!]

After learning the technique, Yuan stood up and tried it.

[Golden Mountain Body Refinement!]

After activating the technique, Yuan could see a thin layer of golden light protecting his body, and he could also feel his body getting stronger.

‘In order to train body refinement techniques, I will need people to hit me while I am using the technique…’

He went to grab Huang Xiao Li a moment later.

“What happened to the technique?” She asked him.

“I have already learned it,” he calmly said.

“Y-You what? There’s no way you learned a Divine-rank technique in less than an hour!” She exclaimed.

Yuan didn’t say anything and decided to prove it by showing her the technique.

“You actually managed to learn it in under an hour…? Now that I think about it… You’re also a quick learner when it comes to array symbols…” She muttered in a dazed voice after seeing the golden glow protecting his body.

“I want you to hit me as hard as you can.” Yuan suddenly said to her.

“Sure.” Huang Xiao Li did not hesitate and prepared to throw her fist at him.

However, he quickly stopped her and said, “Hold it! Why are you using your hand? Use a weapon instead. You’re going to break your hand like that!”

“What? Did I hear right? You want me to strike you with a weapon?” She looked at him with wide eyes.

“Don’t worry, I will be fine. Even if I am not fine, I won’t blame you for it.” He said with a smile.

“That doesn’t make me feel any better, but whatever. I trust you.”

Huang Xiao Li proceeded to retrieve a Heaven-grade sword and slashed it at Yuan with all of her cultivation behind it.

Ding!

The sword bounced off Yuan’s body the moment it touched the golden layer.

“This isn’t too bad. I don’t have my Invisible Dragon Cloak on right now so I was expecting to bleed a little.” Yuan said after seeing the results.

“You were expecting to bleed?” Huang Xiao Li’s jaw dropped a little after hearing such words.

“Looks like I will need something stronger if I want to cultivate this technique properly. I should pick a fight with another giant and use them to train this technique.” Yuan said with a weird smile on his face.

“I won’t say anything as long as it’s a match and you’re not actually picking a fight…” Huang Xiao Li said.

“Anyways, let’s—”

BOOM!

The entire building suddenly shook violently.

“An earthquake?” Huang Xiao Li looked around with a raised eyebrow.

“No, this isn’t caused by an earthquake. It’s too unnatural.” Yuan said.

Everyone in the hotel proceeded to look outside the window, and to their absolute shock, a giant that size of an actual mountain had suddenly appeared outside the city.

“Holy shit…” Yuan muttered in a dumbfounded voice when he saw the size of this giant.

If he stood before this giant, he would figuratively and literally be like an ant.

“What are they doing?” Huang Xiao Li pointed at the giants in the street, as they had all suddenly dropped to their knees and kowtowed towards the giant outside the city.

Her question would be answered the following moment when every giant in the city could be heard shouting—

“We pay respects to His Majesty, Giant Emperor Kulas!”

The entire city shook for a second time when all of the giants there paid their respects to Giant Emperor Kulas, who was the current ruler of the Giant’s Continent.

However, Giant Emperor Kulas ignored the giants and swept the city with his gaze. Every single individual that entered his gaze trembled with awe.

A few moments of silence later, Giant Emperor Kulas spoke in a deafening voice, “How long do you plan on hiding?! I know you’re here! Tian Yang, get your ass out here and fight me!”

Yuan’s eyes widened with shock when he heard the name ‘Tian Yang’ come out of the Giant Emperor’s mouth.

‘This is Tian Yang’s memories?! I thought this was the God of War’s memories! And what relationship does he have with the Giant Emperor?! The Giant Emperor looks pissed!’ He cried inwardly, not daring to respond to the Giant Emperor’s call, as that would be akin to suicide with his current strength.
