Chapter 712 - 311: Trials on the Road to Kingship (Part 3)

At this moment,

The Frost Giant’s sturdy legs rooted into the ground like mountain foundations, its right arm covered in thick Ice Armor suddenly pulled back, charged with power, and the irregular patterns across its massive body blazed to the extreme, focusing all its strength into its right fist!

Boom!

The Frost Giant’s huge body twisted with force, a gust of earth-yellow punch wind roared out, carrying an unstoppable force, fiercely blasting towards the Blazing Giant opposite.

The punch wind swept mightily, causing even the heat waves to get squeezed out and vanish completely.

Yet the Blazing Giant responded swiftly, showing no intention to dodge, abruptly raising its massive right fist wrapped in Flame Stream, and smashed it forward!

Their clash was devoid of skill; it was purely a thunderous collision of strength and sheer power.

Rumble!

The fists collided fiercely, the two gusts of punch wind engaged in an intense confrontation, cold air and flames swirling around the two giants, inciting an indescribable explosive noise.

In an instant, airwaves surged, a powerful shockwave erupted in all directions, causing the entire cave to shiver, with countless stones falling.

The two towering giants fell into a brief stalemate.

Chen Yuan silently marveled, "Worthy of a Morning Star Quality Frost Giant."

From Commander to Morning Star is an insurmountable chasm, indicating a leap in the life level of the Pet Beast, historically enhancing its overall strength.

This is the fundamental reason why the Frost Giant wasn’t directly crushed.

However, despite the vast difference in raw power between the two, after only a few seconds of stalemate, the Frost Giant could feel an irresistible overwhelming force pressing in, causing its massive body to uncontrollably retreat!

Its heavy body furrowed two deep trenches into the hard ground, with all its joints emitting a heavy creaking sound under the burden, then its body slammed against the rock wall, creating a giant sound.

"Roar..."

A moment later, the severely injured Frost Giant collapsed on the ground, struggling to lift its gaze, meeting a pair of lofty, proud eyes.

The prior brief stalemate seemed merely a dream; the gap in power between the two giants remained desperately wide.

The Frost Giant appeared unwilling, struggling to rise, its massive body shaky, preparing to continue its counterattack.

But Chen Yuan’s silhouette appeared in its sight, and a gentle and calm voice softly echoed in the Frost Giant’s ear: "Remember this moment; it’s an inevitable failure and setback on the path of becoming a king."

"Roar?"

The Frost Giant lowered its eyes, showing confusion.

Chen Yuan smiled slightly, his voice continued to resonate: "I’m giving you a mission."

"Roar?"

Chen Yuan pointed towards the Blazing Giant, an amused tone in his voice: "I’m giving you one month to defeat this fellow head-on."

The Frost Giant initially paused, then gradually struggled to get up, intensely nodding while watching the Blazing Giant.

Yes, the path to kinghood cannot avoid hardships and trials; it must prove its capabilities to everyone.

The Frost Giant withdrew its gaze, its amber eyes gradually returned to calmness, the unwillingness in its heart swiftly soothed.

As the airwave scattered by heat waves, the Blazing Giant’s massive foot remained deeply planted on the flame-raging ground, like a volcano about to erupt, fierce and arrogant.

Its giant head slightly lifted, burning eyes gazing down arrogantly through the dissipating airwaves at the defeated Frost Giant, an expression of disdain and a hint of proud smugness on its grotesque face.

"Howl!"

This attitude of the Blazing Giant annoyed Cola, who was watching, barking ferociously, causing the Blazing Giant’s body to shiver with its intimidating roar.

Wait, what’s with this big dog?

"Don’t rush." Chen Yuan stopped the eager Cola, turning to gaze at a series of golden figures, his lips curled up, "These guys are more impatient than you."

"Hiss howl hiss howl!"

Perhaps verifying Chen Yuan’s words, all the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys seemed to receive a command, like a golden tide, under the Monkey King’s direction, they abandoned frontal attacks, exploiting their small size and agility to weave between the Blazing Giant’s column-like legs!

In an instant, sharp whistles emerged one after another, numerous agile golden figures completely engulfing the Blazing Giant.

Zhang Hao watched in disbelief: "Can this group be opponents?"

Chen Yuan shrugged, smilingly spoke: "Don’t underestimate the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys’ desire for revenge."

When a blend of first and second-stage Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys surge forward, even if the Blazing Giant possesses incredible strength, with its flames raging, it can’t achieve the upper hand.

Not long after,

Accompanied by the final swift assault from the Monkey King, the Blazing Giant’s mountain-like massive body staggered, losing its final balance.

Thud!

Under the watchful eyes, witnessed by the calm gaze of the Frost Giant, the previously invincible Blazing Giant fell with an especially awkward posture onto the scorching ground, stirring up fragments.

"Hiss howl hiss howl!"

With revenge achieved, the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys jubilantly hopped around, their lustrous fur flowing, like a rippling golden wheat wave.

"These guys are really impressive..." Zhang Hao gazed intently at the excited monkey group, his eyes shining with enthusiastic brilliance, muttering, "If they could be persuaded to stay in the town, there might be unexpected benefits."

After defeating the Blazing Giant, Zhang Hao and others reconciled with the Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys, with no more disputes or conflicts, their Favorability reaching the peak.

But that wasn’t enough.

Zhang Hao stared at the Monkey King standing on the Blazing Giant’s massive body, its flowing golden fur dazzlingly attractive, coupled with its recent heroic performance, making Zhang Hao’s eyes light up: "This guy is quite handsome."

At least much more than his initial Pet Beast, the Gray-armored Wild Boar.

It’s common knowledge that to establish a good relationship with the entire pet beast tribe, one must befriend their leader.

So how to befriend the leader?

There’s a very simple and direct way, to contract it as a Pet Beast.

As this thought emerged in his mind, Zhang Hao widened his eyes, his heart racing: "This method seems feasible."

As a half-baked Beastmaster, he hasn’t yet contracted a second Pet Beast.

If he contracts the Monkey King, the entire Flowing Fire Spirit Monkeys tribe could become his helpers, allowing him to call the shots in Xuanhe Town.

Zhang Hao’s eyes gleamed brightly, subconsciously spoke: "Monkey... how about becoming my senior brother?"

His initial Pet Beast, the Gray-armored Wild Boar, would reluctantly take the role of the junior brother.
