The Human Giant

As Yoze crashed through hundreds of trees after being sent flying, he focused on the spiritual energy that invaded his body. Thick snake-like blue spiritual energy entered his body as it chaotically tore the inside of his body to shreds. If it was left alone, just this one strand of spiritual energy would have turned his insides into a slushie.

Luckily, he had his spiritual demons to defend him as they immediately took action when they sensed an invader. The Leopard demon, The Headed Fox demon, and the Serpent launched the first round of attackers by ambushing the snake-like spiritual energy.

After feeding from the spiral energy from the 200-year-old Slug demon, they had grown much larger compared to before. Their intelligence seemed to have increased with their growth as the light in their eyes grew brighter.

The mindless spiritual energy was quickly caught and torn to shreds by the sharp teeth of the Three-Headed Fox demon and Leopard demon before the Slug demon could take action. With disappointment in its eyes, it devours the shred of blue spiritual energy that remains.

After taking care of the immediate threat, Yoze's face turned stern as he reflected on what he had just experienced. It wasn't difficult for him to guess that the cluster of blue spiritual energy wasn't coming from a Martial Grandmaster like he initially had thought.

"It should be impossible for another human to control their spiritual energy. Also, that scent of oil smelled. So far, only the Endless Forest Soul anomaly's victims have had this scent."

"Did it sense that I had captured its aura and wanted to regain what it had lost?" Yoze frowned as he felt that his analysis was off.

As his body was flying uncontrollably, he controlled the spiritual energy prison he had created some time ago to store the green aura and bring it in front of him. Looking at its current state, he noticed that even after a few weeks of being left without a host, it didn't show any signs of deterioration, unlike what should have happened to regular spiritual energy.

"If the Endless Forest Soul's goal is to regain its aura, why didn't it take back the moment it caught me off guard? Or even the second time when its power sharply increased. These were perfect times when I had underestimated the enemy and were the perfect time to take the aura back."

"It doesn't care about getting its aura back. No, maybe its current host doesn't care for it." As soon as Yoze's mind thought about the crazy pursuit to enter a body, something clicked.

Immediately, Yoze took action and transformed his legs into large blood spikes and stabbed them dozens of feet underground to slow down. After creating half a mile-long ravines, Yoze was able to slow him down enough to easily come to a complete stop.

After finding that they had come to a complete stop, Suzanne and Gilan, who were tightly holding onto his wide chest, looked deathly pale. Once Suzanne caught her breath and stopped herself from vomiting, she turned her focus to Gilan, who was doing awful.

"Yoze, can you put us in your blood armor?" Suzanne asked as she gritted her teeth.

"Put you in my blood armor? How would I do that?"

Hearing Suzanne mention the option to place herself and Gilan in his blood armor, Yoze found her idea was great. Not only was putting the two of them into his blood armor allowing him to not worry about their safety, but it would also allow him to go all out.

In the face of this unknown enemy that has control of spiritual energy and uses it as an offensive means, having the two of them sitting outside would only be asking for the enemy to target their spiritual energy.

The effectiveness of this method could be seen when Suzanne placed Gilan into her blood armor, which allowed her to fight with her full strength without the worry that Gilan would get hurt or targeted.

"The principle is quite similar to the concept of creating your blood armor normally. You can either absorb your blood back into your body fully before releasing it and controlling it so that it also surrounds us."

"Or if your blood control is good enough, you can directly manipulate your blood armor to absorb it. Since this is your first time, I recommend doing the first option since it will take less t-." Suzanne explained carefully, but before she could finish her sentence, she felt Yoze's blood armor shifting around her.

In a few seconds, his metal-like blood armor became a liquid that seemed filled with life as it surrounded her and Gilan's bodies. After entering Yoze's blood armor, her eyes quickly adjusted to the red light, and feeling how comfortable and safe she felt, Suzanne sighed.

"So this is what it's like to be absorbed into a Blood Master's blood armor. It isn't too bad," Suzanne said with a weary smile as if all the pride in her body vanished like smoke.

"Suzanne, can I grant you access to see the outside world without creating an opening inside my blood armor?"

Suzanne's eyes snapped wide open as she suddenly heard Yoze's deep voice as if he was talking right into her ears. With her eyebrows tightly furrowed, she lifted her head to see Yoze looking at her with a smile before his voice played again.

"Yes, I am using a special technique to talk to you secretly. I hope to use this while I'm fighting so we can communicate. "

"Also, since you haven't learned this yet, you cannot communicate back the same way. Just...tell me what you want to say by using your fingers to write it on my body or my blood." Yoze's spiritual speech rang in Suzanne's ears with a cheerful tone, making her speechless.

Suzanne shook her head to clear her thoughts and turned to attention to communicate with Yoze, only to notice that the upper portion of Yoze's suit had been torn to shreds. Since he was fighting against a powerful enemy, Yoze didn't bother about his decency and allowed his body to grow to its natural size.

[Big Golem (Level 7: 22%)]

While he hadn't been focusing on training his Big Golem body cultivation method and had been trying to bring his other body cultivation methods to the same level so that his Iron Giant Martial Formation would reach a higher level, he still made sure to do some training so that he didn't start losing his beautiful muscles.

As a result, his body had grown by a centimeter or two compared to before, which he suppressed to prevent himself from not having any clothes to wear. Unfortunately, that resulted in the situation where when he fought, his elegant suit immediately died.

In any case, when he was fighting, he would be covered in his blood armor, acting as his clothes until after the battle. Who would have guessed that two people would enter his blood armor at this time?

"..."

Speechless about the man who had the gall to call himself a scholar, Suzanne didn't dare turn her focus to Yoze's lower body and could only hope his pants could endure. After shaking her head again to remove her distracting thoughts, Suzanne wrote her response on the inner walls of Yoze's blood armor.

Got it. You can make your blood armor semi-transparent by making the blood walls where my eyes are thin. This should let me see the outside enough to send you information.
