The Human Giant



As he discovered that he couldn't start his training in either Iron Skin or Armored Swordsman techniques Yoze created a list of items he needed to ask Jewel to help him find.

After which Yoze closed his eyes and began to attempt to break through his Big Golem body cultivation. Now that he has some free time he could put the ideas he had to break his limit to the test.

Feeling his inner vigor spread evenly across his body Yoze concentrated all of it into one of his fingers to create room for more inner vigor. This idea of surpassing his body's limit came from the fact the Big Golem method used a similar way to create more room for inner vigor by placing them into his flesh.

Now Yoze was trying to attempt something similar by concentrating his inner vigor into one place he would have created plenty of space for new inner vigor to be produced. Once all his inner vigor was collected he began practicing the Big Golem's exercise method to produce stress on his body and force inner vigor out of his body.

However, Yoze soon stopped his exercise as he felt that not only the exercise wasn't creating the required amount of stress. But after twenty minutes of concentrating his inner vigor on his finger, Yoze noticed that once he didn't pay attention to his inner vigor it left his finger and returned to its evenly spread state.

"First I need to increase the exercise to create more stress on my body. Maybe I can combine it with my Blood Fist technique."

After having the idea Yoze tested out how to incorporate Blood Fist and his Big Golem body cultivation. By the time Yoze finished what he thought was a decent integration of the two he found out that the sun had begun to rise.

"Are you still awake?"

"I'll sleep in a minute,"

Seeing that Leah had woken up, Yoze coughed out of embarrassment and decided to catch some sleep before he went over to ask Jewel for some help with finding the supplies for his training.

By the time Yoze woke up and had gotten dressed he found that Jewel and his father had already started eating breakfast.

"Jewel, could you help me look for the things on this list?" After waiting until after breakfast, Yoze asked Jewel for help in acquiring everything he needed.

"Most of these we can find at the stores as for the armor. I think we will need to check on the east side of the city to find the places that sell these things." Jewel took a look at the list and found that they were all common herbs and medicine.

The only difficult item to find was the full set of armor but after taking a look at her notebook she found the general area of the city that sold weaponry and armor.

"Fantastic, let's go when you are ready."

"I am ready to go,"

Yoze and Jewel then left and found that they had gone shopping for herbs for four hours before they collected all the ingredients and tools to make the special paste for the Iron Skin and another two hours finding armor that fit Yoze.

By the end of it, Yoze had spent close to another 100 silver which mostly came from the set of armor Yoze had bought.

"Good thing I took a sword from one of the Blood Masters or I'd have spent everything I had without being able to pay Jewel." As Yoze paid for his armor he realized that he hadn't given Jewel her money for taking them to New Swampscott City.

Not wanting to not pay her, Yoze waited for them to return to the inn before he gave Jewel her due pay. Mostly because he wanted her to help him carry the bags of herbs back to the inn.

"Jewel as per our contract here is 50 silver and to be fair for all the help you have given me when we entered the city here is another 10 silver." Yoze took out his money pouch that had his remaining savings and gave the majority of its contents to Jewel.

However, Jewel looked at the pile of money and stepped away while she looked at Yoze with suspicion.

"What's wrong, 50 is what we agreed upon back at Jade City," Yoze said as he was puzzled at why she was still staring at him with suspicion and not taking the money.

"I see through your plot, demon. Attempting to get rid of me once you have everything you need to hide your identity." Jewel said, with conviction.

"You don't think I'm a demon, right?" Seeing that Jewel hadn't stopped joking around about him being a demon, Yoze was beginning to understand that she was serious.

"I am clear about what you are but I don't care. I only hope that you take me as your student and teach me of your demonic ways."

"..."

"Why else would I have not anything about not getting paid for my service? I am hoping that you can train me and allow me to live forever."

Yoze saw that deep within Jewel's suspicious eyes hide a desire to become strong and a longing for life.

"But I told you I haven't been turned into a demon. The one we found in that cave was just weak at birth, that was why I could kill it." Yoze tried to explain but he only saw the suspicious look in Jewel's eyes grow.

"Then can you explain why you didn't kill the evil demon after knocking it out but instead waited several days before dealing the final blow? Also, how could the demon be so weak and your physical power grow in such a short time."

"I'm a martial artist myself so I could tell the pressure that came from your body became devilishly strong as soon as we found that demon egg and the demon's increasing pressure slowed down."
