The Human Giant



"Not bad, it has changed a lot compared to when I started." Yoze looked through his long list of martial art, blood, spiritual, and hunting techniques.

He felt pleased with the fact that he was able to have so many martial art techniques maxed out. He even had a decent amount that had broken through their limits, reaching new levels.

What attracted his gaze, in the end, was his Armored Weapon martial art set. That included a body cultivation method and two techniques. 

"Let's get started," Yoze took a deep breath and exhaled.

He picked up a stick off of the ground and began to wave it like a sword. Each slash whirled up a sharp gust of wind.

With every slash, Yoze felt a bit more pressure in his veins. It was a pressure that he was familiar with but also different. The pressure didn't cause his blood to boil and raise his body temperature. Instead, it felt as if it caused his blood to circulate a bit faster every cycle. 

After swinging the stick in a sword-like fashion for a while Yoze suddenly lifted the stick above his head. Even though the stick was almost weightless to Yoze his arms looked as if they were carrying a mountain.

They were turning blood red as his veins expanded to take the form of thick snakes coiling around tree trunks. 

"Boom!"

Yoze swung the stick down as if he was trying to cut the earth with a mighty axe strike. Before he was even able to complete the strike the stick in his hand could no longer handle the pressure.

In an instant, it exploded to tree dust but the force that it carried didn't disappear. A long line that was 12 inches deep and 6 feet long carved the earth.

After completing his axe slash, Yoze looked at his arms and noticed that his thick veins had spread across his entire body. If anyone saw Yoze their hearts would stop at the sight of such a terrifying monster.

Even though he saw his veins nearly popping out of his skin, Yoze didn't mind instead he felt that it wasn't nearly enough. He walked over to a tree that was three people thick and tore a thick branch off its trunk.

He wanted a stick that could last a little longer. After doing some test swings, Yoze did the same routine of swinging the thick tree branch like a sword and axe. 

"Boom!" 

This time the tree branch held up and carved a 20-foot-long and 20 inches deep line into the earth. Satisfied that the tree branch held up, Yoze switched his style to stabbing with the stick as if he held a spear.

After accomplishing nearly 100 spear attacks, the veins on Yoze's body had doubled in size alongside the rest of his body following suit. 

"Badum! Badum! Badum!"

Yoze's heartbeat thumped in his chest so hard that it was audible to the forest creatures and resembled drum beats. With each thump of his heart, Yoze felt more blood being produced in his body.

"Badum! Badum!! Badum!!!" 

"Crack! Crack!! Crack!!!" 

With every thump of his heart, the pressure on his body increased to the point and drew him closer and closer to becoming a Blood Master. With each thump of his heart, the crisp sound of cracking bones echoed throughout Yoze's body.

With each thump, his bones healed and his muscles expanded, and he grew slightly. The pressure was so enormous that Yoze automatically began to train his Big Golem body cultivation method producing a steady stream of heavy inner vigor in his growing body.

[Big Golem (Level 6: 109%)]

[Big Golem (Level 6: 112%)]

[Big Golem (Level 6: 115%)]

Even though Yoze was quickly improving his Big Golem body cultivation, he didn't pay any mind as he was engrossed entirely in completing every slash, stab, and swing in the best technique he could.

Before long Yoze's skin had turned dark red as it triggered a reaction out of his Armored Weapon Handler Inner Vigor. The inner vigor suddenly began pouring into his heart and began to fuse with every drop of his blood.

Before long the last strand of Armored Weapon Handler Inner Vigor was fused into his blood but Yoze didn't feel like it was enough. That was when he felt his body begin producing more Armored Weapon Handler's thick inner vigor. 

The newly produced inner vigor was sucked into his heart as if it was a black hole. Every strand was absorbed into his blood causing Yoze to feel an unknown power and link to his blood.

He felt as if he could summon his blood outside his body and manipulate it to take the shape of armor and deadly weapons. This fusion process continued until all of his blood contained the thick inner vigor.

What surprised Yoze, even more, was how his blood had gained the ability to interact with his other types of inner vigor. As the most prominent, Big Golem's heavy inner vigor seemed to be forcing itself into his blood just like Armored Weapon Handler's thick inner vigor.

Unfortunately for the heavy inner vigor, it seemed like it couldn't be the dominant position inside his blood being forced into a subordinate role inside his blood. It wasn't just Big Golem's inner vigor but all his inner vigor tried to enter his blood only to become subordinate to thick inner vigor.

[Blood Weapon Handler (Level 1: 1%)]

Just in time, Yoze received a notification from his system about his advancement which made him smile. He felt a burst of power inside his 8 feet tall body and felt the urge to unleash it.

"Come out!" Yoze shouted at the top of his lungs.

With his about, he activated his new body cultivation method causing a burst of blood to pour out of his pours. Within seconds he was covered completely in a thick layer of blood that took on the shape of a suit of medieval knight armor.

Even with it being made completely out of blood, it had a metallic shine and hardness to it that made one certain that it could withstand even the sharpest blades.

Complementing the appearance of his blood armor a thick blood mist began to form around him. The blood mist gave a sense of heaviness that made one's heart and soul feel pressured.
