These words of Elder Haoyue were directed at Princess Nayi, with a playful smile adorning his face.

A clash of intent!

If you can casually bestow a knight of the royal court, I can duly respond by bestowing a tribal guard!

Princess Baolian was left momentarily speechless, but still argued back, "This is merely a friendly contest. Is it proper to bring this person here?"

Elder Haoyue replied with a slight smile, "Dear wife, this is no ordinary friendly contest; it concerns our son's future!"

"You…" Princess Baolian was almost driven to faint by anger. Inwardly berating the old man for his shamelessness, she couldn't say anything more at the moment. Saying more might genuinely raise his suspicions. All she could do was look worriedly at Chu Mo, who was still far away in the field.

Even from a distance, Chu Mo could make out the clash happening between Princess Baolian and Elder Haoyue. He also noted Princess Baolian's desperate glance towards him. He simply smiled back at Princess Baolian before turning his head to the direction where the sound of chains was coming from.

Chu Mo could sense, that this creature might be more than just an ordinary person!

Thud!

Clank!

Thud!

Clank!

Each step on the ground made a heavy sound and the clanking of the iron chain, causing a faint chill in many people's hearts.

It was hard to imagine, what kind of a person would have to carry these chains?

Princess Nayi didn't understand what was happening, but she became nervous when she saw that even her fearless aunt had changed her face.

Princess Baolian looked at Nayi and softly said, "Don't worry, he can handle it!" But even she lacked confidence in her words.

Thud!

Clank!

The figure approached closer, and a huge shadow came into Chu Mo's sight, startling him.

"How can there be such a tall person in the world?"

This figure emerging from the shadows was like a giant!

He was as tall as ten feet!

As the figure drew nearer, Chu Mo finally saw the face.

His look wasn't ugly - thick eyebrows and big eyes, but his skin was dark, and his eyes were bright like two lamps.

Each step he took was like a moving black iron tower!

Extremely thick chains, went over his shoulders and down to his wrists, connecting both arms. The chains restricted any significant movements but allowed some mobility. Similar chains were strung around his ankles, connecting his legs and preventing him from taking bigger steps.

Chu Mo's mouth twitched, silently questioning: doesn't this terrifying giant look more like a prisoner?

The royal court's knights were also terrified by the sight of this giant, as they had never seen a creature as enormous. The chains running through the giant's shoulder blades and those shackled around his feet made their hearts pound with fear.

Those chains on the giant must weigh at least a thousand pounds!

Having chains driven through shoulder blades must be extremely painful!

Yet the giant seemed indifferent. He was just slower because of the chains on his legs; it seemed as if their weight had no effect on him.

Elder Haoyue announced loudly, "This is a warrior from our Haoyue Tribe, the guardian of Haoyue Geshui. Born with divine strength and a volatile temper, his favorite activity is ripping humans apart!"

Roar!

The giant, standing like a black iron tower, roared abruptly, as if to echo Elder Haoyue's words.

The roar sounded like a fierce beast bellowing.

"So…young hero, you must be careful. If you feel you can't match him, you can admit defeat now."

"Otherwise, even I will not be able to control him later."

Elder Haoyue looked at Chu Mo and concluded casually, with a cold gleam in his eyes.

Chu Mo instructed silently, "Jade, assess this man's realm for me!"

Information was passed into Chu Mo's mind.

"No realm, physical quality nine, innate divine strength, poisoned, poison ingredient... "

"The medicinal herbs required for the antidote are... "

"To manufacture, you need to collect all the ingredients and place them in the space above the blue stone."

"Required energy, minimal."

After obtaining the information about the gigantic man, Chu Mo was shocked.

"No realm!"

This giant is just an ordinary person without any realm?

"Physical quality nine! What's going on here?"

Using Jade to assess the knights of the royal court, he found out that the knights' highest physical quality was just three.

Most of them matched their cultivation level, and only the exceptional ones had a physical quality one level higher than their cultivation level.

Even Chu Mo himself, with a cultivation level at the peak of Yellow Rank Three, had a physical quality of five. This was all thanks to the blood and flesh nourishment of high-level Primordial Beasts while he was with the Demon Lord. Also because of Demon Lord's daily beatings… which were to constantly modify and perfect Chu Mo's physical body, albeit in a brutal manner.

In spite of such intensive training, Chu Mo's physical quality was just five. The giant man in front of him, had a physical quality of nine… Chu Mo couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: A physical quality of nine… did that mean his physical strength was equivalent to a ninth-order Primordial Beast?

How terrifying was that?

Innate divine strength is a rare evaluation Chu Mo had ever seen. Earlier, Jade had evaluated him as innately spiritual.

Still, when compared, Chu Mo felt that the giant's innate divine strength sounded more formidable.

But being poisoned… how did that happen?

Chu Mo glanced at Elder Haoyue, who looked calm as ever. He pondered, "Could it be that this old man is the one behind it? So venomous! Seems like he hasn't refrained from using the ancestral poison recipe to harm others."

All these thoughts raced through Chu Mo's mind. He then looked up at Elder Haoyue, and with a fist-palm salute, said, "On the prairie, men only die in battle, they never die of fear! So, I accept this fight!"

"Bravo!" The knights from Chu Mo's royal court couldn't help but feel their blood boil with excitement, cheering loudly.

Yet, in their hearts, they couldn't help but sweat in worry for Chu Mo. Against such a giant, they couldn't even muster up the courage to think about fighting. So if Chu Mo were to back down, they couldn't bring themselves to hold it against him.

Elder Haoyue on the other side laughed, saying, "Ha ha, well done, lad of the Prairie! Courageous indeed!"

"Gao Da...Go!" Elder Haoyue yelled at the giant tower of iron.

Roar!

The giant roared up at the sky, the iron chains on his body scraping against each other with an ear-piercing noise.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

He stepped into the arena, one foot after the other, looking at Chu Mo. A malicious smirk spread across his face, saying, "The little one is all smooth and tender...looks like quite a tasty treat!"

Chu Mo looked into the giant's eyes, furrowing his brow slightly. He could feel that when the giant spoke those words, there wasn't any pronounced murderous intent, but rather a very strong resentment!

This resentment was very strong, which made Chu Mo wonder what kind of torment this giant must have suffered to harbor such intense resentment.

"Alright big fella! Come and hit me!" Chu Mo came up with an idea, smiling widely and shouting it at the giant.

Thud!

An incredibly heavy noise. The giant swung his thick iron chain that was pierced through his shoulder blade and locked around his arm. The long chain whirled in the air as it smashed towards Chu Mo.

The air vibrated so violently it sent shivers down people's spines.

Many knights from the royal court and warriors from the Haoyue Tribe all retreated on their own accord.

The killing intent was too terrifying!

Chu Mo's figure flashed slightly as he dodged the giant's strike.

Thunderous rumble!

The chain slammed into the ground next to the bonfire.

The whole earth shuddered.

The ground was gouged by the chain, forming a massive trench over a dozen feet deep!

Dust scattered in clouds, sending sparks flying from the fire pit.

Many of the spectators let out gasps of surprise and hurriedly retreated.

Princess Nayi, who sat at the head of the table, turned deathly pale and reflexively stood up, saying, "No more...no more fights..."

Elder Haoyue next to her gave Nayi a cold glance and ambiguously replied, "Right Now, no one can stop it!"

Princess Baolian quietly comforted Nayi saying, "Don't worry, everything will be okay!"

"Heh heh." Elder Haoyue let out a chilling laugh.

A shiver ran down Princess Baolian's spine at this, she ignored Elder Haoyue and prayed silently. "Young Master Lin, it's up to you now… You must persevere and seize the opportunity to kill this old bag! Otherwise, none of us will escape today!".

Because as of now, Princess Baolian had sensed that Elder Haoyue was growing suspicious of Chu Mo's identity...otherwise, he wouldn't have brought Gao Dasha out.

Moreover, it's very possible that Elder Haoyue had found out Chu Mo's true identity!

Because just moments ago, Elder Haoyue had said to Chu Mo--

"Ha ha, well done, lad of the Prairie! Courageous!"

Could it be that someone betrayed us? Princess Baolian's gaze shifted toward the group of royal knights in the distance. However, the distance was too great, and the night was too dark to see anything clearly.

Meanwhile, Chu Mo was leading the giant on a wild goose chase, causing a chaotic mess at the banquet.

Devastation everywhere they went!

The destructive power of the giant simply too strong, too terrifying.

All the people kept their distance from this pair.

The giant, annoyed by Chu Mo's constant running, began swinging his chains wildly, hitting anything in sight.

No matter what it was, as long as it was hit by these chains, there was only one outcome - complete destruction!

"Stop running!"

"Stand still!"

"Coward!"

The giant roared furiously, continually howling.

Eventually, everyone...everyone stayed away from the two, looking on with boundless fear in their eyes.

In the middle of the fight, Chu Mo suddenly rushed toward the giant, exhibiting his nimble movement skills, and swiftly darted past the giant. As he passed by, he left a whisper in the giant's ear.

"You're not really a fool! You are poisoned! I can cure you!"

Roar!

The giant violently swung his chain at Chu Mo, but it landed at Chu Mo's side instead.

Once again, the hard ground was smashed into a deep hole.

A smile flickered in Chu Mo's eyes.

He had succeeded!

Because this time, the giant's chain wasn't aimed at him at all!

Which meant, his words just now, the giant had heard them!

Whizz!

Chu Mo once again darted past the giant. He heard the giant utter quietly, "Why should I believe you?"
