The Human Giant



As they grew closer to Gail Village Yoze saw that there were many travelers like themselves staying in the village. The local people had smiles on their faces as they greeted the new travelers and waved goodbye to the ones that were leaving.

The situation was marvelous to look at from a distance as it was obvious to him that Gail Village was simply too small to hold all these people. Gail Village most likely had a population of around a thousand people yet there was almost the same amount of travelers going in and out of the Village.

This led to the situation where many travelers ended up sleeping outside or had to sleep on whatever they came with. From the looks on those travelers' faces, it seemed that they weren't very happy with this arrangement.

Yet even the most upset travelers held back and smiled at the villagers when they passed by. 

"That Blood Master's reputation is strong." 

"That's what you get for being so strong and using a lot of people as examples," Jewel said casually but she couldn't help but frown from seeing all these people.

"What's going on? Even though Gail Village is friendly there aren't usually this many people willing to come due to the Village's protector."

"Let's ask someone. Hey, kid, do you know why there are so many people?" Calling out to a random traveler who looked like he had just become an adult, Jewel asked.

The kid traveler didn't seem very amused by Jewel's call but he still answered, "Blood Master Steel wrote a note that he left his Blood Master Martial arts body cultivation manual in the forest around here. So everyone is rushing to find it but since there is only Gail Village nearby everyone is staying here."

"Thanks, Kid." Tossing out a copper coin to the kid, Jewel turned towards Yoze and pointed her hands at him.

"What?" Yoze asked.

"Work expenses must be repaid, I just gave out some of my own money to collect information so I need to get it back from you." She explained as if it was a matter of course.

"Isn't it enough that you are eating our food? Why do you need a copper coin back?"

"Well, you can just pay for the information next time directly but now I need it back. Also, it was due to Mr. Thunder's kind heart that I could eat some. You didn't want me to eat a single bite, that's cruel."

"Forget it, here the copper, let's just find a place to stay for the night." Sighing in defeat, Yoze and Jewel lead the carriage a bit away from the village and set up camp.

When they got done setting up everything and were about to cook dinner, Scarlett NewBorn, Gail Village's protector, was standing in front of the carriage. She still had the same look that she was holding back her tears.

"Wow, knowing that she is probably a master at controlling her emotions changes things a lot." Yoze thought to himself.

"..."

"..."

Yoze and Scarlett NewBorn looked at each other in silence while Jewel, Drew, and Leah watched on the sidelines waiting to see what was going to happen next.

"Hello Blood Master, we mean no trouble as we are only staying for the night." Assuming that Scarlett visited them to give them a warning not to cause trouble, Yoze gave her his guarantee.

"That's not why I'm here. Didn't you say that you wanted to become my student?" Scarlett said in a somewhat embarrassing manner.

"Cough!" 

Jewel and everyone else nearby eyes went wide as they felt completely shocked. The Blood Master known for killing her disciples was thinking about taking in another student. 

Even Yoze was shocked and felt that something was off with this whole thing. He had only mentioned taking her as a teacher in passing and never really gave it a real thought. For someone who was so protective of her homeland, there was no way she would take in some random stranger.

"Ah yes, Blood Master but I only said that bypassing. There is no way a Blood Master would take a random traveler such as myself." 

"In normal cases, I wouldn't but... I see so much talent and potential in you that I'm willing to make an exception. Sooo, how about it? I don't mind at all if you have other teachers in the future. I-I also won't dare try to kill you in the future I can promise that." Scarlett bobbed her head vigorously to show that she was taking her promise seriously but Yoze could only focus on her tears that were hanging for dear life.

"Can you give me some time to think about it? As of right now, I have to travel around and need to decide with my teammates."

"That's fine, just tell me your decision before you leave Gail Village." After saying those parting words Scarlett vanished.

"What should I do?" Yoze turned to Jewel and his father for their advice.

"If a Blood Master wants you to be their student, many people don't usually have a choice in the matter. " Jewel said.

"Yoze, do whatever you feel is the best in your interest. I don't want you to sacrifice your future for an old man like me." Drew looked to support his son's future as best as he could.

After getting their opinions he thought about what would be best for him. At that moment Yoze was reaching the limit of all his techniques and body cultivation methods. 

An ordinary martial artist really couldn't reject a blood master's request to have them as students but Yoze wasn't an ordinary martial artist. At the end of the day, Yoze was confident that he could push the boundaries of his martial arts and reach the top with anyone.

Even if he had to give up the opportunity to get a blood master's teachings he could always try his luck at a martial art sect. With his talent and strength, he did not believe he couldn't get into one.
