Chapter 584: Challenge

During the sacrificial ceremony, challenging other racial elites who were invited was a tradition of the Blackhoof Tribe, as well as a means for the tribe to showcase its strength to the outside world.

Elites from other races could refuse the challenge, but by refusing, they would automatically lose the qualification to participate in the upcoming ceremony.

Facing Xerxes' challenge, Song Jian stepped forward and shouted loudly, "I accept the challenge!"

In response to Xerxes' challenge and Song Jian's acceptance, all members of the Blackhoof Tribe let out a unanimous cheer—a show of appreciation and support for both Xerxes and Song Jian.

Xerxes pulled out a pair of metal gauntlets from his chest and wore them on his hands. The gauntlets' surface was built from countless metal scales, resembling snake scales. On the knuckles of the gauntlets, there were wild beast fangs inlaid and protruding outward, looking extra ferocious.
