The Human Giant

Chapter 316 316: Iron Colossus Punch

"Forget it, you ten stay inside your nest until I come back for you," Yoze said to the ten baby slugs demons casually.

He didn't even know if they could understand human speech yet, so he also spoke to them using his spiritual speech. Whether they understood what he tried to communicate, he no longer cared and threw them back into their cave.

After making sure not to forget to suppress them with a little bit of the Leopard demon's spiritual energy, he focused on the real threat at hand. Starting at the time droplets of magma, Yoze took a deep breath to prepare himself for the incoming battle.

Even though he was dealing with the same opponent from only a few minutes ago, he didn't feel a lick of nervousness in his bones. Even his instincts had reduced the level of danger that the Slug demon had given him.

No longer in the mood to remain passive and to avoid placing any unnecessary risk on the ten baby slug demons, Yoze immediately activated his new Martial Formation. As soon as Iron Colossus was activated, he sensed the inner vigor in his body instantly reacting.

As if they seemingly gained awareness of the existence of other inner vigors, he watched as all the inner vigor that made up Iron Colossus once again formed a strange and orderly pattern. As soon as this pattern was created, Yoze felt an immense power filling his body, easily surpassing his initial expectations.

The first thing to change was that Yoze's skin rapidly turned into a shiny gray metallic color. It wasn't just his skin, but his muscles, bones, organs, hair, nails, and everything else that was a part of his body transformed into this shiny gray metal.

This pleasantly surprised Yoze as he smiled at the fact that he didn't have to bother to try and find the other Iron body cultivation methods. Now even if his enemies wanted to take advantage of his small weakness, all they would find was that they were just as sturdy as the rest of his body.

"Crack! Crack! Crack! Crack!"

Before he could fully be excited about his new defensive power, the slight pain from his bones cracking, healing, and expanding, gained all his attention. Within less than a second, Yoze found that his body had grown more than six inches bringing his height to 8 feet and 9 inches, but he knew this was just the beginning.

The small space he had created on a whim reached its limits as Yoze's body rapidly expanded and grew. With his head slamming into the ceiling from this initial increase in height, he signaled to Yoze that he needed to be careful or else his head would be plunged into the magma above.

9 feet...10 feet...11 feet...12 feet...

In less than a second, Yoze pressed his back against the ceiling as his body showed no sign of slowing down. Before he could even consider the fact that he should have taken off his clothes, the loose clothes he had bought for occasions like this were easily ripped to shreds leaving him exposed.

13 feet... 14 feet... 15 feet... 16 feet...

Finally, the small space could no longer handle Yoze's growth and began to collapse. Having already planned for this, Yoze clenched his fist and punched at the ceiling with his full power.

"Bull Fist!!"

"Boom!!!!!!"

When Yoze's giant fist slammed into the ceiling, it collapsed immediately and barely reduced the remaining power. Instant, the remaining power spread across the entire mountain, causing it to shake violently.

As if the entire mountain had experienced a small earthquake, the ground began to crack, and chunks of the mountain broke apart, causing large landslides. Even the sleeping villagers of Justice Town all woke up with cold sweats as they immediately left their homes to deal with this emergency.

The disaster this one punch caused easily exceeded Yoze's expectations, and he almost felt a little guilty about not holding back. But after briefly confirming that most of his attack power was still heading for its target. And that even though the power exceeded his initial expectations, it didn't exceed it too much to cause any threat to Justice Town and the villagers.

At most, it would scare them but not cause significant damage. As for the target of his punch, he was excited to see how the 120-year-old Slug demon would deal with it.

...

A few minutes ago, the Slug Demon was anxiously staring at every slight twitch of grass or pebble, regardless of what caused the slight movement or would send a wave of its red spiritual energy to burn it to ash.

Even though it had seen that Yoze dug into the ground with high proficiency, it thought it could easily catch up with its spiritual energy and kill him.

Unexpectedly, the spiritual energies it had been following had suddenly disappeared along with any traces of Yoze. It was like he had vanished into thin air or as if he had become part of the ground itself.

"What kind of demon has multiple types of spiritual energy!? Is that man still digesting the spiritual energy of the demons he had killed before coming here?" The Slug demon thought to itself, filled with anxiousness.

Not only could it sense that Yoze was a powerful demon with a lot of spiritual energy, but the Slug demon felt that Yoze was only teasing it. It had never encountered a demon using multiple types of spiritual energy. It could only make guesses which never ended well for it.

Just as the Slug demon was about to send a spiritual message to Lucien to see if he discovered anything, it suddenly noticed that the spiritual energy it left inside its egg nest flew out. It felt dumbfounded as it knew that this would only happen if an intruder entered or its eggs had hatched.

"That young demon should not have found my secret nest since my spiritual energy is suppressing the scent and the visual signals of the life spiritual energy. So that can only mean my eggs have finally hatched, which is good news." After concluding that Yoze couldn't have possibly known about its eggs, the Slug demon felt its body relax.
