The Human Giant



The electric shocks were making Yoze's heart pound chaotically. Still, the shocks lacked the strength to stop his heart to Martial Silver Thunder's dismay. 

He was feeling frustrated that he had to deal with an opponent who was becoming increasingly familiar with his fighting style and martial arts. Whether it was his spear attacks, his leg technique, fists, elbows, or even his movements, Yoze was always quickly adapting and improving himself to better counter every technique.

It was as if he wasn't fighting a martial artist but a puppet that was learning how to mirror all his movements and techniques before finding their flaws to defeat him. What made Martial Silver Thunder feel more frustrated was that he had been using his full strength but wasn't able to land a single solid strike. 

And it was becoming more and more difficult for him to land an attack as the more he used a technique the lower the chances it would be able to hit Yoze. It was not only because Yoze was adapting but his body was too hard to land a hit on even if he wasn't aware he was being attacked which was thanks to Mindless Legs and Boneless Man body cultivation.

"How strong is your body!? Are you some demon in human form!?" Martial Silver Thunder growled.

"This is thrilling, I hope that you can still keep this going or I will just kill you." Yoze truthfully said his true feelings.

While he was giving out the same threats to Martial Silver Thunder it sent a chill down his spine. He had taken Yoze seriously before but Martial Silver Thunder had only felt he was a strong Blood Master that could compete with weaker Martial Grandmasters for only a short period.

But after fighting Yoze for so long Martial Silver Thunder could sense that Yoze's stamina was still high. If anything it had barely dropped at all while his constant usage of his White Lightning Inner Vigor was rapidly drying up his storage.

He could only keep this up for another five hours before he ran out of gas while Yoze felt like he could never run out of steam. 

"What terrifying stamina," Martial Silver Thunder's thoughts turned towards recognizing that Yoze's main strength must have been his inhuman endurance.

His martial arts skills were basic and simple but his ability to never tire and his learning ability made it so that unless one could defeat him quickly they would eventually lose.

At the end of the day, Yoze's martial art techniques were too simple so their flaws were easily recognizable by seasoned martial artists. Being a Martial Grandmaster it only took an hour before Martial Silver Thunder had analyzed the core of Armored Swordsman Slash. 

He had memorized every single variation of Armored Swordsman Slash and Shuffle and every possible move he could make in many combat situations. He could predict Yoze's moves before he made them with an accuracy of 90 percent.

All Martial Silver Thunder had to do was wait for the perfect time to strike at Yoze's heart to end this battle once and for all. There was only one problem, how was he supposed to land a hit when Yoze seemed almost impossible to hit?

Regardless of if he launched a silent attack from behind, Yoze would always find a way to escape. However, the key interest for Martial Silver Thunder to solve this problem is to get rid of any possibility that Yoze could escape his attacks.

"Countless Whirlpool," Finding the perfect opportunity, Martial Silver Thunder immediately acted as he said the name of his attack, hoping to draw Yoze's attention from the real area of his attack.

"Crack"

Martial Silver Thunder forced a large amount of his White Lightning inner vigor into his spear causing it to explode with blinding white light at the cost of the surface of the spear forming shallow cracks.

At the same time, he tossed his Silver Spear in the air before covering his fists with inner vigor and sending a flurry of punches to the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Within less than a second Martial Silver Thunder let out countless punches that shook the earth and turned the ground beneath Yoze's feet into a deep sandpit. This dangerous sandpit triggered Yoze's Mindless Legs causing Yoze's body to be sent flying in the air to avoid the danger of getting trapped in the sand.

But this was all a part of Martial Silver Thunder's plan to completely leave Yoze trapped and without any options. For this plan to be complete there was only the final step of breaking Yoze's sword and piercing right through his body.

Martial Silver Thunder extended his hand toward his spear causing it to instantly fly into his palm before unleashing his signature attack, Twelve Lightning Strikes of God. 

Twelve spear attacks that held an extreme amount of inner vigor simultaneously struck Yoze's sword, shattering it instantly. The twelve strikes continued the path through the sword and landed on Yoze's chest armor.

With the addition of Yoze's Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor, the armor held up for a few seconds before helplessly being pierced through as if it was made out of paper.

Unfortunately, that was all the damage Martial Silver Thunder could do as Yoze's body used the force of the strikes hitting his armor to help him tear himself out of the back of his armor which left him completely naked. 

Being completely nude and traveling his powerful and burly body was packed full of muscles as his short black hair spiked up due to the electricity-filled air. Being on the verge of crossing into the realm of being 7 feet tall, Yoze easily dwarfed many people including Martial Silver Thunder.

"Dang, you broke both my armor and sword. Now I can't practice Armored Swordsman body cultivation anymore until I get my replacements." Yoze said feeling a bit frustrated that he couldn't continue improving Armored Swordsman at such a rapid speed. 

"That should be enough to prove I'm more than enough to be your partner." Even though Martial Silver Thunder wasn't satisfied with only destroying Yoze's sword and armor he decided to not go further since he still wanted to use Yoze to deal with the anomaly.

"Partner up? I'm going to be honest with you that I'm still going to kill you since you attacked River and Timothy." In a bad mood, Yoze emotionlessly stared at Martial Silver Thunder as if he were a test subject.

"I can still train my Twin Fists but I don't think he would last long if I started a chain of attacks. He could keep up with me when I was holding back but going all out will wear him out too quickly."

"I might even accidentally kill him before even getting a chance to improve Twin Fists. From the stories, Martial Silver Thunder must at least be 100 years old. He must be reaching the limits of how long humans are biologically able to live and can't last much longer."

"Since I can't train my martial arts with you then it would be better if I tested my spiritual energy technique. I need to see if I can send my spiritual energy into someone else's body." Yoze looked at Martial Silver Thunder with interest. 

As he knew that it was finally time to see if he could defeat a Martial Grandmaster with just Spiritual energy attacks alone. And test out if his theory of being able to hijack other creatures' bodies and turn them into puppets was possible.
