The Human Giant

314 Chapter 314: Aiming To Be The First



Inside New Swampscott City's Martial Art Courtyard, two old men were arguing fiercely before both of their faces quickly went pale. Without saying a word to each other, they both jumped out of their seats with the grace of a cheetah and lifted their arms to protect themselves.

"..."

"..."

After a few seconds of awkward silence between the two old men was broken by the sound of the door unlocking. Without even turning their heads, the two old men knew who was at the door and shouted as quickly as they could.

"Araha, we have been betrayed! I always knew we couldn't trust these criminals!"

"Jeven, we have been betrayed! I always knew we couldn't trust these dogs of the City!" 

The young man and young woman had entered the room and looked at their respective grandparent with dazed stares. However, even though they didn't understand what was happening, they still trusted their grandparents and gave each other a wary look.

The young man was dressed head to toe in golden armor and gave off a warm aura similar to standing next to the sun standing next to his grandfather. Who seemed to really be made out of the sun's flames.

Even though the old man held a red metallic cane in his right hand, he didn't seem to need it as his back was straighter than an arrow, and his footsteps were stable. Even when he stood still, it was difficult to look at him for long. His pure golden robe unleashed a blinding golden light directly into people's eyes.

Meanwhile, the young woman, who wore a thick set of black leather armor, calmly walked over to her grandfather before standing before him. Even though she lacked the details, her hazel-colored eyes emitted a heavy aura that made others feel as if they were getting crushed by a mountain.

Seeing his granddaughter standing in front of him, the old man behind her looked at her with pride. Even though she was in her late thirties and had a powerful aura compared to how much pressure she must have been enduring to stand next to him made him proud.

It wasn't every day that a martial artist could endure the pressure of a Martial Grandmaster and not even flinch. The old man smiled as he didn't mind that every inch of his body was covered in scars.

"Cough! We were just joking. Don't take it so seriously." The old man wearing a golden robe softly coughed as he looked at the scared old man with embarrassment.

"Yes, yes, Araha. We two old men were just joking. We weren't serious about the betrayal and also forget about what I said about them being dirty criminals." The scarred old man quickly followed up after noticing that the golden old man had also realized their mistake.

"Araha, let's leave. I just happened to have some inspiration and need to immediately take hold of this insight before I lose it." The Scarred old man gave his granddaughter a calm glance before grabbing her hand and disappearing from the room, leaving only a light breeze behind.

"Grandpa Geav?" 

Just as the young man was about to ask his grandfather what had happened, he suddenly noticed that he was alone in the room. Even though the young man didn't understand that the golden age of martial arts had arrived, he didn't try to find his grandfather.

All he did was look down at the thick pile of papers in his hand that talked about one of the scholars in New Swampscott City. 

"A scholar that had become a Blood Master, how does that make sense? I thought the City would have more integrity than to hire a martial artist as a scholar. But I guess nothing can stop corruption from seeping into the foundation of society."

...

Similar situations happened across the world as many Martial Grandmasters took this breakthrough in strides hoping to become the first person to take a step in the thick fog of the part of martial arts. As this was happening, Yoze looked at the numerous notifications entering his eyes and felt blessed to see so much progress.

[Big Golem (Level 7: 30%)]

[Iron Skin (Level 5: 70%)]

[Iron Bones (Level 5: 70%)]

[Iron Organs (Level 5: 70%)]

[Boneless Man (Level 5: 5%)]

[Sinking Swamp (Level 6: 9%)]

[Turtle Shell (Level 4: 0%)]

[Blood Breaker (Level 3: 80%)]

[Blood Weapon Handler (Level 2: 0%)]

"This is quite good. Everything except Boneless Man, Sink Swamp, and my Turtle Shell body cultivation methods has increased ten percent."

"Allowing me to break into the next level of the Blood Master realm. As for those three, I had surpassed the limits of my Turtle Shell body cultivation method three times which should allow me to display my Iron Colossus formation at level 4." Yoze smiled as he could feel his body flowing with power.

Even without him breaking through to the second level of the Blood Master realm, the power of his blood would have seen a drastic upgrade due to the additional inner vigor. Still, Yoze wasn't complaining; in his mind improving too much was better than not improving at all.

"Crack, crack, crack."

As he was examining his body, he suddenly noticed a soft noise coming from the direction of the Slug demon eggs. Due to the thick wall between them, the noise of the eggs hatching was almost completely blocked, but with Yoze's sharp senses, he could catch the subtle sounds.

"Unfortunately, the eggs are hatching early. If they waited for a few more minutes, taking them would have been much easier." Yoze shook his head as he took a step forward in preparation to dig through the wall.

However, he suddenly stopped as he noticed that in addition to the sound of the demon eggs hatching, there was also an even more hidden sound of digging. And judging from the sounds, the digging was coming towards him at a quick pace.

"Are the baby slug demons coming to me on their own? If that is the case, I might as well wait for them to come to me on their own so I don't accidentally trigger a trap."
