The Human Giant



Once the fire died down, a red-skinned Yoze climbed out of the tub feeling completely refreshed. 

"This progress is fantastic, in a few weeks or so I should be able to max out Iron Skin," Yoze said out loud, not minding that Jewel could hear him.

"I really should thank that commander for giving me my monthly pay early. It allowed me to just buy all the herbs I needed to max out level 2 of Iron Skin cultivating its inner vigor."

Yoze clenched his fist as he manipulated his iron skin's inner vigor to cover the surface of his skin. In a short flash, Yoze's red skin turned a silvery gray color and had a metallic shine.

"Big Golem's inner vigor is clear and heavy while Iron Skin's inner vigor is silver and has metal-like defenses. I wonder what the Armored Swordsman's inner vigor will be like?"

As Yoze dried himself off he pulled up his cheat window to get a better sense of what he wanted to do in the coming few weeks.

[Talent Mark: 1]

Yoze frowned seeing that there was simply too much information on his techniques crowded together. He wondered when the next time his cheat would adapt to his needs. 

So far his experience with his cheat was good since it never became a problem of there being too much since it adapts before it becomes an issue. Yoze shook his head and ignored that thought for now and placed his attention on his techniques and body cultivation methods.

"I reached the max of both Twin Fists and Mindless Legs. Leaving the only thing to progress is Big Golem, Iron Skin, and the Armored Swordsman's techniques and body cultivation."

At level 6 Yoze could store more inner vigor in his body from having 700 pounds worth of Big Golem inner vigor to 1000 pounds worth of Big Golem inner Vigor. 

With how advanced Big Golem had become Yoze knew that it would take him at least 6 months to refill his inner vigor storage before he could start making progress on using that additional inner vigor he could hold. This was when no special or tragic events occurred during this period. 

If Yoze happened to come across another demon egg and took its life spiritual energy he could rapidly speed up the process. But there is also the chance for Yoze to lose his inner vigor due to not being able to retrieve it from the object he placed it in.

"That is a long time but I can't complain it did take me years to reach this point." Yoze frowned as felt that it was a huge time that he would be short of inner vigor.

He knew that this was an incredibly fast speed to anyone else since it would have taken years to reach the 700 limits of Big Golem that was if they never became stuck in their progress. Yoze never faced getting stuck at a level due to his high body cultivation talents, martial arts comprehension talent, and the money from being a scholar always providing everything he needed.

But others would often get stuck on a level and then spend years trying to break through. After this, they spend another few years trying to increase their weight and inner vigor before once again becoming stuck. This was how it was common for people to spend decades of their lives on one body cultivation method.

To be qualified to say he could reach a level that others spent decades on showed how much progress Yoze had made. It was a combination of his spiritual body cultivation techniques constantly entering into a conflict that Yoze's body was always getting stronger. 

Yoze's frequent usage of his blood techniques pushed his body to its limits regularly. Mindless Blood Legs especially worked 24/7 to stress his body enough to always force out 20 percent of his potential.

All these factors greatly condensed the time that it would take Yoze to refill his inner vigor to its previous amount and even reached the limit of his current storage limit.

"There is not much I can do to get amazing progress on these three body cultivations except to continue to train."

Yoze looked at Iron Skin and the Armored  Swordsman and saw that he had the opposite situation for them both. For Iron Skin his progress with it was fast so he didn't worry about it. As for Armored Swordsman, his progress was incredibly slow since he didn't have any talents with swords. 

Even though he was getting a boost from his Spear and Axe talents, which he copied during the journey to New Swampscott city, it wasn't much of an increase in speed that was on the same level as Iron Skin. Yoze could only accept that his progress was going to be slow with this martial art set unless he picked up some type of Sword talent.

"I should focus on breaking Twin Fists and Mindless Legs' limits. These two are my main fighting methods. I need to keep them improving or I won't be able to be as combat-effective as I could."

After deciding to break the limits of these two core techniques of his, Yoze began by trying to break through Twin Fists and Mindless Legs at the same time.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

With Twin Fists instantly breaking through the sound barrier and causing sonic booms and Mindless Legs making Yoze move all over the training ground Jewel was able to witness Yoze turn into a red three-headed and eight-armed giant turning into a blur jumping all over the training yard.
