The Human Giant



Yoze was speechless as he didn't know what to say. He had known his actions were odd but it didn't matter if people thought it was weird. There was no way for anyone to see the existence of Yoze's cheat, the Second Best System, or acquire it. 

The existence of Yoze's cheat, the Second Best System, was completely invisible to others, and there was no way for anyone to acquire it. The act of sending a talent mark to copy someone else's talent was so subtle and quick that no one would be aware of it happening, and the victims wouldn't even know that something had transpired unless Yoze told them. 

As he was acquiring a person's talent and someone's skill or ability he never could greatly increase his ability in such a fast manner that someone would notice or find it greatly disturbing. So, even if someone felt that something strange was going on, there would be nothing concrete for them to cling to as evidence.

Moreover, it was difficult for people to even fathom the idea that someone could copy another person's talent for themselves. Unless someone could see the Second Best System, it was hard to think that anything strange was happening. The only exception was when he acquired the Serpent demon's talent and stole its life spiritual energy, causing him to rapidly become stronger.

He didn't think that it had caused Jewel to have such a large misunderstanding of what had happened that day.

"Okay, that was weird but can you blame me for wanting to have a legendary demon by my side for a few extra days?" Though Yoze found this ridiculous he didn't try to find an excuse for his behavior it would only make her more doubtful.

"Before you say anything else, let's just make it clear that I hired you to take me and my father to New Swampscott City from Jade City. And I will pay you for that service before anything else, including that demon stuff." After making his stance clear Yoze pushed the 60 silver into Jewel's hands and left.

He couldn't be bothered at the moment to deal with this nonsense just because he has talents that solely belong to demons doesn't mean he is one.

"On second thought, that demon from the Eternal Burning Lake Festival did mistake me for a demon." Thinking about the encounter with his second demon made Yoze aware that he had a lot of room to grow.

He still hasn't even reached the peak of human performance as a Martial Grandmaster, still stuck as a first-rate martial artist. It's been almost three years since Yoze had gotten his cheat and he had made a lot of progress. He was still filled with the same ambition he had back then. To stand at the top of the world as the best at martial arts and give the best life for his family.

"Forget it, this demon talk had distracted me. I need to just train." Shaking his head to get rid of his distraction and began preparing the paste needed for the Iron Skin training.

The paste was blood-red and reeked of spices causing Yoze to feel that it was almost as bad as the medicine pastes Leah made. Slapping the paste all over his skin was a pain but Yoze endured the burning sensation.

"Crack"

Just as Yoze moved he found that the burning sensation of the paste had disappeared and even saw that it had dried into red powder. As the red dust flew off his skin Yoze could feel that it was a little bit more durable.

[Physical Talents]

[Body Cultivation (Grade 5), Movements (Grade 4), Muscle Development (Grade 5), Flexibility (Grade 9), Perception (Grade 7), Slower Muscle Deterioration (Grade 7), Lung Capacity (Grade 3), Regeneration (Grade 5)]

"Shoot my physical talents are all involved by the paste causing my cultivation of Iron Skin to become a monster. I don't think I bought enough herbs." Yoze sighed with pride and created ten times more paste and began applying them one at a time.

"This is taking too long," Yoze frowned as the application of the paste was taking longer than him absorbing the paste. After thinking of an idea Yoze grabbed the rest of his herbs and filled a large tub of it before crushing it all into a paste. After that, he plunged his entire body and could feel the heat from the paste digging into his skin.

Several hours later Yoze stepped out of the tub that was filled with red powder and felt that his skin had become much stronger.

[Second Best System]

[Name: Yoze]

[Age: 22 ]

[Talents Categories: Comprehension Talents, Physical Talents, Martial Arts Talents, Spiritual Talents, Other Talents]

[Techniques: Twin Fists (Rank 4: 100%),  Big Golem(Level 5: 100%), Mindless Legs (Stage 5: 100%), Blood Fist (Perfection level: 200%), 

Twin Blood Fists (Perfection level: 200%), Mindless Blood Legs(Perfection level: 200%), Iron Skin (Level 2: 1%)]

[Talent Mark: 1]

"I reached the second stage in just one night, my talents working together are making progress like crazy." Yoze couldn't help but smile as he looked at his strengthened skin.

Even though Iron Skin focused mainly on increasing his defenses it still increased Yoze's strength making him stronger by a good margin.

However, when he looked at the empty bags lying on the floor, Yoze couldn't help but feel heartache as he needed to spend even more money so soon.

"I can buy another two-month supply before I need to think about becoming an advisor again." Yoze sighed before putting it behind him as he knew training anything required a lot of money.

Now that his training speed was becoming crazy he should be prepared to spend his money like drinking water.

Since Yoze had reached the second level of Iron Skin and couldn't practice it any longer until he got more supplies he began trying to break through Big Golem. Even though Yoze had gotten the armor required to train the Armored Swordsman he couldn't train in an enclosed space like this inn. He had to find another training ground somewhere outside like a forest which not many people traveled to but were easy to access. For him to find that kind of place would require him to get a bit more familiar with New Swampscott City.

An hour later Yoze's skin was blood-red his blood was boiling as he pushed his body into strange positions to try and attempt to create more inner vigor. The stress on his body was immense and would have destroyed his body if his body was any weaker but at that moment it was enough.

Squeezing his body out of 200 percent of all its potential was making Yoze grit his teeth from the pain alone but he didn't stop as he could feel something being created inside his body.
