The Human Giant

Chapter 108 108: Accidentally Find A Spy



After eating dinner, Yoze and Jewel traveled to the Martial courtyard to digest their meal by training. In addition to that Yoze had another agenda and that was to find a Martial Arts instructor and copy their teaching talents.

If he wasn\'t able to find anyone that met his requirements he would find a school and visit them to get a better teaching talent. As they were walking to his training ground he found his target and was happy to find that he was the most well-known martial arts instructor in the courtyard.

Martial Artist Instructor Greyhound, was a tall man that always had a frown on his face and liked to snarl at martial artists who made mistakes during their training. For someone who was only a second-rate martial artist himself, he was more well-known compared to stronger martial arts instructors and was considered to be the best instructor for beginners up to second-rate martial artists.

Yoze nodded his head in approval, he thought to himself that Greyhound should have a teaching talent of some sort to be able to teach so well.

"Plant a talent mark on Greyhound," 

[Name: Levi Green]

[Age: 80 years old]

[Talents: Gardening (Grade 7), Martial Arts Comprehension (Grade 3), Disguise (Grade 5), Martial Arts Simplification (Grade 5), Liver Punch (Grade 2)]

"That\'s interesting," Yoze was surprised to find that Greyhound was hiding his identity.

Even though Yoze had only heard rumors and casual information about Martial Arts Instructor Greyhound he knew that his name wasn\'t Levi Green, but Leo Hound. To also be in his 80s yet look and claim to be in his mid-40s meant that he was purposely hiding his age and doing it very well.

It was also unlikely for a second-rate martial artist to look so young compared to his age with being at least a first-rate martial artist or Greyhound was using a disguise which Yoze felt was the more likely case. The knowledge that a person who had deep connections with the martial courtyard was lying about their identity would make anyone wonder about their intentions.

Was Greyhound hiding his identity because he had offended someone and was hiding from them or was he a spy from cities greatest rival martial art sects?

Yoze didn\'t know which one was the case but he was willing to place his bets that Greyhound was a spy for a martial art sect. It could only be with the help of a strong organization that Greyhound could hide his identity for decades and not be suspected at all by the city.

"What did you find interesting about that middle-aged martial arts instructor?" Jewel asked, noticing that Yoze had a surprised expression on his face.

" I\'m just surprised that his understanding of martial arts can be so deep but he can talk about it in such a simple way that it\'s easy to understand. I think I might have to hire him to teach Tiki and Dreyer." Yoze said casually.

He knew that they were not in the right place to be discussing this information and just kept it to himself. Jewel had her suspicion that Yoze was holding back some information from her but she didn\'t push further since she understood that this wasn\'t the time or the place.

After watching Greyhound instructing some martial artists for a few minutes Jewel and Yoze left to continue walking to their courtyard. As they walked back Yoze copied Greyhound\'s Martial Art Simplification talent and enjoyed the feeling of all his martial arts knowledge being turned into simpler expressions.

Once they arrived at the courtyard and noticed that it was exactly left the same way they left it previously, Jewel and Yoze didn\'t waste time and began their training. Jewel jumped on the spiked machine and gritted her teeth as she pushed her skin to its limits.

Yoze on the other hand walked over to the stand that held his spare training armor and sword. He was planning on reaching the fourth level of both the Armored Swordsman Slash and Shuffle tonight.

He would become a second-rate martial artist according to the Armored Swordsman body cultivation method and also acquire the Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor. He would also be able to understand what was so special about this inner vigor that it could allow the usage of other inner vigors once he reached the Blood Master rank.

Putting on his armor, Yoze got into his sword stance and skillfully swung his sword drawing up powerful gusts of wind. He also trained the Armored Swordsman shuffle at the same time and moved around in a manner that allowed him to dodge and attack at a moment\'s notice.

Hours passed by in a blink of an eye as Jewel and Yoze were focused on their own training. Suddenly, Yoze felt a cold energy being squeezed out of his muscles and floating to the top of his skin.

[Armored Swordsman (Level 4: 2%), Armored Swordsman Slash (Level 4: 2%), Armored Swordsman Shuffle (Level 4: 6%)]

Being familiar with the production of inner vigor, Yoze continued to train while his body was producing Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor and examined its unique properties. As more of the cold Armored Swordsman\'s Inner Vigor floated to the top of Yoze\'s skin he noticed that it started to form a thin layer of inner vigor that stuck onto his armor.

Already having a somewhat understanding of what this type of inner vigor should do, Yoze focused his mind in an attempt to activate it. However, he found that there was no reaction even after he tried to activate his inner vigor multiple times since he couldn\'t activate the Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor, Yoze stopped his fruitless attempts.

Once he sensed that his body stopped producing inner vigor, Yoze stopped training and took off his helmet. Just as he expected the instant he took off his helmet all his Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor retreated into his body without his command.

"So Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor increases the defensive capabilities of my armor. But it only activates when I\'m wearing a complete set of armor."

"Which is very different compared to my Big Golem and Iron Skin inner vigor." Yoze raised his eyebrows as he wondered how his inner vigor could sense when he wore a complete set of armor.

Did it work based on his senses? Was there some quality of the Armored Swordsman\'s inner vigor that is attracted to the tightly enclosed metal space within the suit of armor? 

Yoze also noted that when he fought against the Blood Masters of the Blood Swordsman Sect they didn\'t wear any armor when they fought him. Their blood poured out of their pores and transformed into their armor and even covered their swords with their blood.

"If I have to wear armor to activate my inner vigor until I become a Blood Master, then I\'ll just always wear armor." Figuring that this was a special property of Armored Swordsman Inner Vigor, Yoze decided that he would make it a habit to wear a suit of armor.

At Yoze\'s current strength, wearing armor wasn\'t adding as much protection as he would have liked and could easily be made irrelevant when spiritual energy was involved. However, to reach the Blood Master level as soon as possible he decided to wear a suit of armor whenever he had the chance.

When Yoze thought of this idea he figured that if he always wore armor he would always be able to train. He could also take advantage of the Armored Combat talent that he had gotten from River.

If everything went on as he predicted, Yoze felt he would reach the peak of his Armored Swordsman Body cultivation in a couple of months. Then he would be able to train the Blood Swordsman body cultivation method and become an official Blood Master.
