The Human Giant



"I never thought of adapting my martial art techniques to suit my needs and strengths," Yoze said, clenching the sword in his hand.

This discovery was like a light bulb lighting up a dark room full of treasure. It was fine if it remained dark and one never knew about the hidden gems inside as what you didn't know couldn't tempt you.

But now that he had discovered that he could adapt his techniques and body cultivation methods to suit his talents. Thereby allowing him to use more talents in the same technique and boost his progress to immense degrees.

Take Armored Weapon Juggler, which was formerly Armored Swordsman Slash, it had been incorporated to include Axes, Spears, his fist, and some fancy movements that allowed everything to flow together neatly. It would allow any of his talents that were related to any of these to play a part and boost his progress.

Just from his predictions alone, Yoze predicted that he could reach the Blood Master realm in one week if he only trained for a couple of hours a day. If dedicated more time he could reach the peak of the Armored Weapon Juggler in a few days.

This was incredible. It had drastically reduced the time that he had to put into training which would allow him to focus more effort on training his witchcraft and immortal cultivation.

However, it wasn't all perfect as Yoze figured that he could no longer directly practice the Blood Swordsman martial art set. He would have to adapt it better to suit the changes he had made.

To Yoze that was worth it as he already had several talents that could help him adapt and change the Blood Swordsman martial art set much easier and quicker. He had talents such as Martial Art Comprehension, Body Cultivation, research, Martial Art Adapter, and both Swordsmanship and Spearmanship.

Just these talents alone would allow Yoze to quickly change the Blood Swordsman Martial Art set to better suit his needs. He predicted that would add only two additional weeks before he reached the Blood Master realm.

It seems long but Yoze knew that two weeks was a conservative estimate as he had more talents that could bring that number lower. He could also copy more talents that had a high chance of boosting his progress.

"Yes, adapting martial arts to one's strengths and weaknesses is something that takes a long time and talent. As you started this road I recommend you be patient since you're going to have to make slight changes and test it for a few years." Winter smiled and walked over to Yoze to give him some advice. 

Not realizing that Yoze had already adapted and changed his martial art so much it was considered in its own league.

"Thank you for your advice, you should grab some meat when you and your grandfather are planning to leave." Even though Yoze knew that Regil had unknown motives and was creepy he still wanted to thank him for his help.

"Actually I was planning to stay over tonight?" Winter coughed and looked at him with hopefulness.

"No, we don't have enough space for you to stay. Plus, I'm sure Grandpa Regil would want his granddaughter to stay with him." Yoze instantly rejected Winter's request.

He didn't want to sleep with a person that had unknown motives and could have a high chance of being a hundred-year-old man in disguise. 

"Cold-hearted man, I'll visit you tomorrow." Winter frowned and shook her head with frustration. After making her intention to visit clear she left the room making sure to slam the door on her way out.

Even though Winter had left, Yoze continued to track her through her spiritual energy and noticed that she first visited his father's room before leaving the inn. After she left, Yoze pondered why Winter or Regil would want to stay over the night.

But even after mulling it over for an hour, he couldn't think of anything concrete since he had too little information. He didn't know what kind of magical abilities Regil might have from his immortal cultivation.

He was also interested in how Regil was able to transform into a young woman that was at the Blood Master level. None of his talents gave Yoze a clue about how he could have done it either so he could only wait patiently to gather more clues.

The next couple of days after Regil in the form of Winter frequently visited Yoze with a plate of piping hot food that was well seasoned. It was delicious and didn't set off his instincts that it contained poison so he ate everything just in case he was wrong.

Over these past few days, Winter climbed to his body like a baby and frequently massaged his muscles. At first, he felt uncomfortable with her level of physical contact but he grew used to it. 

Now Winter just climbed on his back as Yoze was training his new Armored Weapon Handler martial art set. She said the reason was she liked the view since it made her feel like a powerful god looking down at her subjects.

Even though it was strange, Yoze had long confirmed his suspicion that Winter and Regil were the same people but interestingly his system did something unique with her.

[Name: Winter Regil (Regil Regil)]

[Age: 19 (105) years old]

[Talents: Flavor Selection (Grade 3), Spice Mixing (Grade 2), Crystal Veins (Grade 4), Water Spells (Grade 3), Plan Maker (Grade 5)]

For the system to make an exception to Regil's and Winter's identities made Yoze more curious about him. Why did Regil deserve to have an additional identity but not others?

It was a curious matter but Yoze temporarily put it aside as he was getting close to reaching the peak of the Armored Weapon Handler body cultivation and being able to start his attempt to become a Blood Master.

What Yoze loved about the Armored Weaponer Handler martial art set was that it had gotten rid of the pesky requirement to wear armor to train it. Now as long as he used multiple types of weapons instead of just a sword before he improved his skill.
