The Human Giant



"Even if you reached the peak of the martial arts world you would stand no chance in handling our enemies. Now that you know, I hope that you will let us go willingly or we will leave without your permission." Tiki crossed her arms expecting to see Yoze feel nervous or fearful about the scope of their enemies.

However, she and Dreyer didn't expect that not only was Yoze not scared or nervous but he was excited. To him, he wasn't worried at all about immortal cultivators and instead longed to meet them. 

To be able to challenge demons and not die meant that immortal cultivators had powers that could rival spiritual energy. Yoze wanted to experience their power and learn it himself but his talent at the moment was too low.

If it took Tiki 6 years to reach the second level of Nerve Accumulation how long would it take him when he had half of her talent? But he could solve that issue by finding those strong cultivators and copying their talents.

As for being scared Yoze had faced demons who were just as or if not more dangerous since they were born with the fighting ability of Martial Grandmasters. Their spiritual energies are incredible weapons that can establish dominance over anyone else that doesn't know how to protect their spiritual energy.

"If you think that would deter me, you would be mistaken, as for you staying here. As long as you convince Dad and can leave without me being able to stop you then I won't try to find you again."

"In any case, you mentioned that you don't even know if anyone is hunting you specifically yet so what's the big deal of hiding here for a while?" Yoze looked at Dreyer and Tiki with confidence and patted their shoulders before leaving. 

He wanted to ask Tiki for that book to start his journey of cultivating the immortal path but felt that it wasn't time yet. Once he convinced them that they would be safer in his care than out there then he would request to learn the book.

After returning to his room Yoze went back to training his martial arts for the next few days. He had plenty of time to train while also preventing Dreyer's and Tiki's poor attempts to try and escape. 

This time Yoze noticed something happening to their Spiritual Energy. Their spiritual energy fluctuations were becoming more unpredictable and grew fainter and fainter until they almost disappeared. If Yoze hadn't had his spiritual sensing talent for so long and had remembered what their spiritual energy was like he wouldn't have been able to sense their spiritual energy.

Once their spiritual energy stopped its fluctuations their spiritual energies snuck out. This time however Yoze didn't stop them, instead he chose to follow them in the shadows cause he wanted to see what other tricks they could do. 

After Tiki and Dreyer walked far enough they began to whisper to each other but Yoze was able to pick it up.

"Tiki, did you sense anyone leaving the inn?" 

"None, but we shouldn't stop your Life Signature hiding technique. We already know that he has strong senses so he might notice us even from this far away." Tiki shook her head.

"Agree," 

After that brief chat, the two continued sneaking away instead of becoming more relaxed the further they were from the Inn the two of them became more tense and cautious. They were no longer worried about being caught by Yoze and worried more about the crazy hunters. 

"Do you think we are making the right decision? With Yoze's help, we might be able to hide better and fend off anyone who shows up." Dreyer turned towards Tiki and whispered.

"I don't know but what we are dealing with is far out of our league much less him. He has never even fought against another immortal cultivator or seen their tricks so it is putting him and Dad in too much danger."

Tiki and Dreyer had already assumed that they had escaped but they were wondering if they made the right decision. From all their attempts of sneaking out, they could understand where Yoze got his confidence from. 

They even needed to resort to burning one of Dreyer's precious treasures to avoid him. It also won't last much longer so they needed to find shelter before the effects ran out. 

Eventually, they were able to find an old building that they could use as protection for the day. While Tiki and Dreyer were entering the building Yoze noticed that there was another spiritual energy in the form of a blue ball inside.

Knowing that the building wasn't the safest, Yoze continued following Tiki and Dreyer into the building in case something happened. When he entered the building Yoze saw that it looked abandoned and the blue ball of spiritual energy had moved beneath Tiki and Dreyer's feet.

Suddenly, Yoze, Tiki, and Dreyer felt a cold chill spread across the room instantly alerting them of danger. Before Yoze had to run to rescue the two, Tiki and Dreyer both dodged the silver needles that came right below their feet just in time.

"Ambush!" Dreyer yelled to Tiki.

What amazed Yoze was that at the spot the needles came out of, ice was rapidly spreading across the floor up to a foot away. If Tiki and Dreyer were hit their legs would have been turned into ice popsicles.

"Dreyer now!" Tiki took out three sharp knives that burned red hot where the needles came out causing a small explosion that held so much heat it melted the floor.

Dreyer wasn't willing to wait around either as he threw three seeds that had been stained red to the ground and watched them grow into mushroom soldiers that radiated a pressure as strong as a peak first-rate martial artist. 

These mushroom soldiers lacked spiritual energy and had mechanical and choppy movements. But having three of these mushroom soldiers added a lot of protection for Tiki and Dreyer.
