“Huh? You dared to accept my challenge? Well, you’re quite courageous.” Shanz’s face contorted as he continuously cracked both of his large fists.

Chu Nan internally scolded the ancestors of the druid who pushed him out and had no choice but to face upward and looked at the extremely brawny Shanz. “Are you sure you want to fight? Honestly speaking, I’m not afraid of you. What I’m afraid of is your clansmen risking their all. I’m afraid of blood, so if I were to kill hundreds of barbarians, won’t I feel disgusted for a few days the moment I see meat?”

“What rubbish are you spouting?” Shanz glared at him. “Unless you’ve turned crazy from fear?”

Since there was no way to safely retreat, Chu Nan steeled his heart and went all out. “Crazy? I think you’re the crazy one! I don’t wish to lower myself to your level, but do you honestly believe that you’re invincible with Battle Fury? Let me tell you something, I can easily defeat you with a single hand!”

*Boom!*

Shanz was enraged, and he furiously stomped on the ground with his thick thigh. Due to the excessive force he used, thick blood vessels protruded from his skin.

“Human! How dare you humiliate the mighty barbarian warrior! I shall use your blood to wash away the shame you’ve brought upon us!” Shanz angrily roared, as a strong wind accompanied his clenched fist. The wind blew on Chu Nan’s face, and it reminded him of when he fanned himself in the summer.

The druids met gazes, yet none of them knew what they should say or do.

“Use my blood to wash away your shame?” Chu Nan was so nervous that his stomach started to hurt, but he still tried his best to maintain his disdainful smile. “I won’t fight with you. If I defeat you, your clansmen would want to avenge your defeat. Then after defeating one of your clansmen, there are still plenty of others who would want to take revenge.”

“Defeat me? Impossible!”

Chu Nan wiped away the saliva on his face and opened the spatial bracelet on his wrist. As he held Sara Jane in his hands with a smile, he asked, “Is that so? Are you still confident?”

“Spatial bracelet…” Shanz’s expression instantly changed. Everyone on this continent understood what it meant to be able to use an artifact like a spatial bracelet.

An expert! He’s a Heaven Realm expert! Shanz’s beet-red face turned pale in the blink of an eye, and even the barbarians behind him felt stupefied. Never in their wildest dreams had they expected that a human, who might not have been capable of killing a chicken, would be a Heaven Realm expert.

Chu Nan’s stomach, which had already started to cramp, had finally recovered. From his experience, he understood that these people had a strange fear for spatial bracelets, and even though he was unaware of the reason, it was enough for him to know that they were afraid of it.

The smile on Chu Nan’s face became much more natural. “Why? Do you still believe you can defeat me?”

Shanz’s tanned face turned red then pale before his eyes flickered with hesitation. One moment he wanted to retreat, yet the next moment he wanted to fight head-on.

He felt somewhat unwilling to withdraw just because of a spatial bracelet; however, he felt reverence for the strength of rumored Heaven Realm experts.

A resolute glint streaked across his eyes, and Chu Nan suddenly shivered as he realized that things were going south.

Without waiting for Shanz to speak up, Chu Nan decisively pulled the trigger. A white mist suddenly shot out and turned the nearby huge stone into ice.

Shanz’s resolute expression changed into astonishment as his previous desire to battle completely deflated. The instant that the cold air shot out from Sara Jane, he felt a magic fluctuation at the peak of level 1 of the Human Realm.

“You…” Shanz was stunned.

“What about me? I believe I’ve mentioned this before: I’m afraid to see blood. I don’t wish to kill all of your clansmen.” Chu Nan held on to Sara Jane’s barrel and lightly tapped it against his palms.

Shanz turned silent. The fact that Chu Nan could use a spatial bracelet had already severely affected his confidence, and Sara Jane’s power made him feel even more fearful. His strength was on the same level as the magic attack, and if that cold air were to hit him, he would be injured, if not dead.

The hundreds of energetic barbarians also turned silent. The majority of the races living in the Heaven Forest had the same mindset. Whoever had a bigger fist or was powerful enough would be able to gain respect, dread, and authority from other races.

After Chu Nan saw the barbarians’ reaction, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He was indeed afraid; not to blood, but instead to the group of barbarians attacking together. Even though Sara Jane was powerful, they were too fast, and his hands would be too slow to catch up to their speed. With hundreds of enemies, he would end up as a corpse even if he were to release a volley of attacks.

“Human, I acknowledge your strength,” Shanz remained silent for a moment before he slowly spoke. “However, please do not interfere with the affairs between druids and barbarians. If you remain neutral without interfering, the barbarians will forever remember your kindness.”

Chu Nan was angered by Shanz until his stomach started to hurt again. If it weren’t for you barbarians suddenly appearing, I would’ve managed to swindle a druid guide and already left this place!

If you killed all of the druids here, am I also supposed to die here in the Heaven Forest? Chu Nan was unable to explain his desires to them, and if they were to catch on to the fact that he was an imposter, the barbarians would immediately tear him into pieces.

“Cough…” Chu Nan coughed and said, “I was the one who healed Aleta, and if you were to beat him half-dead again, wouldn’t I lose face?”

“Human, let me ask you! Do you truly intend to fight?” Shanz roared angrily, “If you insist on interfering between our affairs, the barbarians will never submit! Even if we were to fight with our lives at risk!”

Following Shanz’s roar, hundreds of barbarians simultaneously shouted at the skies and stared at Chu Nan with murderous eyes – it was clear from their attitude that they were prepared to fight to the death.

Staring at these irritable opponents, Chu Nan very much wished to know if barbarians were naturally straightforward, or if they had a few screws loose in their heads. Why were they so easily agitated?
