The Human Giant



"Sigh"

Yoze felt a deep resonance between his flesh, bones, and organs when his heavy inner vigor fully saturated his organs. Every strand of heavy inner vigor inside exploded with a bright light before swiftly deactivating.

That short burst of bright light coming from his heavy inner vigor transformed his perspective of the world as he began seeing invisible spheres covering everything. From fruits to training equipment, even the walls of the courtyard had their own invisible spheres of various sizes.

What made him excited was that he saw his invisible sphere begin to rapidly expand until it was 6 feet wide. Once it reached its max size, he sensed that the air around him felt heavier as if everything was 700 pounds heavier.

Unfortunately, just as he was beginning to understand what he was seeing it all disappeared when his inner vigor deactivated.

"What was that?" Yoze scrunched his eyebrows as he recalled everything he saw in that short period.

"Was that the gravitational force that mass generates?"

After remembering what he saw he noticed that heavier objects tended to have larger invisible fields around them. But that size difference tended to be small and even the wall's invisible sphere didn't stick out more than 10 centimeters.

For his invisible sphere to break through its previous size limits should have been due to his inner vigor all activating at once. To test his theory, Yoze activated all of his heavy inner vigor strands.

The result led to his heavy inner vigor exploding with a much dimmer light compared to the previous explosion. This dimmer light seemed to make it harder for him to sense the invisible spheres of others.

To see them required him to focus all his attention to see the invisible field around one object. What made him more excited however was the fact that he saw his invisible field expand to six feet once more.

He even sensed that the air around him quickly became heavier but it was to a much smaller extent compared to before. If his hunch was correct it was only one percent of the original.

After experimenting for a while, Yoze found that activating his heavy inner vigor allowed him to create a field around that increased the weight of objects around him. He was able to figure this out by taking a regular apple and letting it hit a table from a certain height.

After which he activated his Big Golem Inner Vigor and dropped that same apple. The results were that the apple broke a hole through the table while also getting squished by its weight.

"Not only did I gain the ability to control other people's weight. I also can deactivate all my Big Golem Inner Vigor allowing me to drop from 7 thousand pounds to my true weight of 1 thousand pounds." Yoze smiled as he was excited by his new ability.

Feeling light on his feet Yoze hopped around his courtyard for a bit before taking out a book. This was a book he had been anticipating for a long time.

Iron Muscles might have been an ordinary body cultivation book but it meant a lot to him. One of Yoze's few weaknesses was the fact that his defensive capability was not on par with his offensive capability.

When it came to destroying and killing capabilities there weren't many who could compete with him. But he wasn't able to endure the same amount of damage he could dash out. 

That made him have to focus on dodging whenever he faced a demon or a Martial Grandmaster. Even when he could kill them with one punch he had to focus on not getting hit since they could deal serious harm to him.

That was why he wanted to increase his defense as much as possible. He had Iron Skin, Turtle Shell, and even Armored Swordsman to increase his defensive capabilities.

But they all did nothing to protect his muscles, bones, and organs from internal attacks which were why he had set his eye on Iron Muscles since the beginning. With this body cultivation method, he hoped to be able to protect his internals.

Yoze didn't even want to look for any other body cultivation method to protect his organs as he wanted to break through Iron Skin and Iron Muscles continuously until they alone were enough.

"Let's not wait anymore, I need to reach the peak of Iron Muscles tonight or I'm not going home until I do." 

Yoze glanced at the training method of Iron Muscles and saw that its training method was similar to Iron where he needed to take a bath of medicine water. Looking through the list of herbs needed, most of them were identical to what Iron Skin needed so he knew where he could buy them.

There were only a few herbs that were different but each of them made him frown as he didn't know where he could acquire them.

"Iron Lettuce, Crimson Ginger, five types of Tilog herbs, and even Steel Ivy. These are all rare and hard to find in regular shops. I would need to contact a specialist to get all these in bulk." Yoze sighed to himself before putting on all his clothes.

He had to temporarily put his ambition on pause to grab Jewel and ask her to find someone to get these herbs. He hoped that she already knew where to go or he would have to experiment with substitute herbs.

"Hmmm, speaking of the devil, why is Jewel running to the courtyard? I thought she was enjoying her wine." Yoze suddenly noticed Jewel's spiritual energy was rapidly approaching his courtyard.

"Yoze, Yoze, the Rose Thorn Cultivation sect has arrived!" Jewel busted into the courtyard covered in sweat as she shouted to Yoze.

"The Thorn Rose Cultivation Sect? The martial art sect that the Blood Master Scarlett was in." Yoze was surprised to hear that name.

He had nearly forgotten his encounter with Blood Master Scarlett at the Gail Village. To hear the name of her sect after so much time passed was incredible.
