The crowd went into an uproar as soon as he said that.
Many people could not even react and could only look at each other in shock.
"What's going on? Did the First Prince just say 600 kilograms?"
"I think I've heard the same thing."
"Didn't they say that the First Prince has 500-kilogram strength? When did he have 600- kilogram strength?"
Whispers appeared below the stage, and Xeno frowned slightly too.
He knew his son's capabilities very well.
It would already have achieved the effect he wanted if Serre could lift a 500-kilogram boulder.
But now Serre was going to lift a 500-kilogram boulder.
It would be best if he could lift it.
But if he couldn't lift it up…
then this Strength Competition would become a joke.
Not only Serre would be made fun of, even he, his father, would be equally disgraced.
"My son, don't joke around. 500 kilograms is already brave enough."
Xeno's voice appeared on the dais. He was trying to give Serre a way out.
Chatter below the stage followed.
"That's right. 500 kilograms is already very impressive. Our Blood Roar City probably hasn't had a 500-kilogram warrior for more than ten years."
"It would not be worth it if you were to forcefully lift 600 kilograms and injure your body."
"The First Prince is still young, so it's understandable."
"It's only natural to be young and frivolous."
Obviously, no one thought that Serre could lift 600 kilograms.
No one would make fun of him if he requested to lift a 500-kilogram boulder again.
But if he failed, that would be him overestimating himself.
Serre, who was on the stage, naturally heard the discussions of the people below, but he said confidently,
"Father, you might not know this, but I have made quite a bit of progress this year."
"I can easily lift this 600-kilogram boulder!"
This time, all the commoners erupted into a commotion.
Xeno, who was sitting on the viewing platform, also heard it.
It seemed that his eldest son wasn't boasting.
He was really confident!
"Alright, my son is braver than others. I am very pleased!"
"Someone, bring a 600-kilogram boulder!"
A moment later, four strong orc warriors carried a huge boulder and slowly walked onto the stage.
At this moment, the boulder instantly became the center of attention.
Everyone could not help but exclaim when they saw the boulder.
How could this be called a boulder?
This was clearly a small mountain!
With a thump, the four warriors let go at the same time, and the boulder landed on the stone stage.
And a spiderweb of cracks appeared on the stage.
Looking at the huge boulder, Xeno reminded again,
"My son, are you sure you can lift this 600-kilogram boulder?"
All the commoners were watching today, and Xeno did not dare to be careless.
But Serre didn't say a word. He simply walked up to the boulder in high spirits.
Seeing how persistent Serre was, Xeno stopped persuading him and focused on watching him.
As for the commoners below the stage, all of them held their breaths in concentration, not even daring to breathe out.
They were afraid that they would affect the First Prince's performance if their breathing were louder.
It would be a great feat if he really lifted it up.
Serre took a deep breath and lowered his center of gravity.
Then, he extended his arms and tightly hugged the giant rock.
After his hands were steady, Serre's entire body tensed up and he roared.
"Ha!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
The boulder was slowly lifted!
Even City Lord Xeno, who was seated on the platform, couldn't help but stand up excitedly.
He really lifted it up!
600 kilograms!
However, this was not the end yet.
Since Serre had decided to be in the limelight, there was no way he was going to give a strong start but weak finish.
His body continued to sink downwards as cracks appeared on the stone slab beneath his feet.
Both his feet had actually sunk into the stone platform!
As for his arms, they were bulging with astonishing veins.
His muscles bulged visibly, making him look full of power.
At the next moment, under everyone's surprised gaze, Serre slowly lifted the huge rock over his head.
Instantly, the crowd erupted into loud cheers.
This was Blood Roar City's best record!
No one had ever lifted such a heavy boulder.
It wasn't just Blood Roar City.
Even in the entire orc race, there were probably not many people who could achieve this!
There were even some who asserted that,
no one would be able to break this record within a hundred years.
Xeno's face was also flushed upon seeing this.
His son was so powerful. Hence, as his father, he naturally felt very proud.
Right then, Xeno already couldn't help but clap on the high platform. His eyes were filled with affection.
Another loud thud.
The boulder was dumped onto the stage by Serre.
The huge rock sank about 20 centimeters into the stone platform instantly, creating a huge pit.
Everyone was flabbergasted when they saw this.
Judging from this, the boulder indeed weighed 600 kilograms. There was definitely nothing fake about it.
At that moment, Serre basked in the limelight.
Some people had even changed his title of 'Blood Roar City's Number One Warrior' to 'Orcs' Number One Warrior'.
Gradually, the crowd started to start chanting the slogan "The Strongest Orc".
Serre's face was full of pride as he listened to the support of the commoners, as if the whole world was already beneath his feet.
As for Xeno, he pointed at the breastplate on his chest and said loudly,
"Today, whoever can surpass my son will be rewarded!"
"I shall bestow this armor to him on the spot!"
Hearing that, everyone was even more shocked.
The armor that City Lord Xeno was wearing wasn't ordinary armor.
This was the "Silver Dragon Armor" that Xeno had snatched after personally killing the Storm's City's human city lord.
Of course, there was naturally a huge difference between the size of humans and Orcs, and Orcs were not as good at forging as the dwarves.
Thus, this silver-white armor became similar to a breastplate when it was worn on Xeno.
However, although the armor was small, it didn't conceal the fact that it was a rare treasure.
Everyone's eyes shone with greed as they looked at that armor.
However, no one dared to challenge him.
The reason was very simple. There was no way they could defeat him.
This so-called additional reward was merely a way for City Lord Xeno to help his son establish his authority.
If there was really a risk of someone surpassing Serre's results, City Lord Xeno wouldn't be so "generous".
Just when everyone was certain that no one would go up on stage to challenge him, a weak voice sounded from the crowd.
"Since that's the case, I won't stand on ceremony then!"
