"This isn't a question of whether I can accept it. It's a question of whether the organizers can accept it."
After hearing Shan Ren's suggestion, Baimu found it a little outrageous.
Shan Ren actually wanted him to ride one of the Legendary Giants into the tournament venue, like Galio making a heroic entrance—though ideally, he would ride together with Calyrex. Considering Calyrex would refuse, however, Shan Ren had changed it to a Legendary Giant.
