The Human Giant



Though Yoze had made up his mind to not take Blood Master Scarlett as his teacher he didn't tell her just yet. He was waiting for the chance to catch her tomorrow so he got another one of her talents before he left.

After setting up dinner and eating some demon flesh, Yoze and the group went to sleep so they could wake up early tomorrow. The night quickly passed by and Yoze and Jewel went into the village to collect some information on New Swampscott City's current situation.

Even though Jewel had some knowledge of the city she hadn't been there for a long period and things could have changed. After collecting some information and eating lunch before going out to collect more information, a whole 24 hours soon passed.

"Blood Master, I have made my decision," Yoze said to thin air as he knew she was listening even though he couldn't see her.

Yoze couldn't see her but he could see a blue fire floating a distance of several dozen feet away at all times. Just like he expected the blue flame instantly covered the distance between them and Scarlett NewBorn appeared out of thin air still wearing the same face.

"So what's your decision?" 

"I apologize but I cannot accept becoming your student. I have a mission that I must complete before I take on any teachers." Yoze said, trying to show his respect to Scarlett.

"That's fine, if you ever change your mind I'll always be open to having you as my student." Scarlett's tearful face instantly changed to indifference as she accepted his rejection.

"Of course, I must say that on your way out there is a possibility that Blood Master Steel will come and stop you. " She added as if she suddenly remembered important news.

"Can I ask why would Blood Master Steel stop us? I don't believe that we have met or gotten into a conflict with him."

"He is a man that loves to be challenged, he calls it like breaking his limit, but I think he is just crazy. Anyways, the main reason these travelers are here is that Blood Master Steel wanted to fight me."

"But now that he has found a stronger challenger he isn't interested in me any longer," Scarlett explained with an amused look on her face.

"Why would he think that I'm a better challenger than you, a blood master?" Yoze was a bit shocked.

He has just arrived and has already gotten the attention of two Blood Masters. One wanted to take me as her student and the other wanted to fight him.

"Well it's simple you are stronger than me and more importantly stronger than him. Even though you haven't officially stepped into the Blood Master Realm I do not doubt that your special physical prowess gives you a slight edge over Steel."

"It would have been so wonderful if you accepted my offer then the Thorn Rose Cultivation Sect could have risen through the clouds." Scarlett sighed in regret before handing Yoze a pendant that had an image of a blue rose whose thorns were as big as its stem.

"If you ever change your mind you can either come to find me or go to the sect location on the pendant." After showing how Yoze could contact the sect, Blood Master Scarlett left without hesitation.

Staring at the pendant in his hand, Yoze sighed and put it in his pouch. Since the business with Gail Village and Blood Master Scarlett was finished, they left while Yoze cherished the feeling of improving his Body Cultivation talent.

He could feel the hold on his body that the Big Golem Cultivation method had on him loosen. His confidence in breaking through its limit rose further. He felt that he could see the path to breaking the Big Golem's cultivation methods limit; he just needed to settle down somewhere for a week or two.

As they left Gail Village, Yoze remained vigilant for any attacks from Blood Master Steel. He didn't trust Blood Master Scarlett at all but he didn't know a reason why she would lie about it.

It wasn't like Yoze would take the initiative to find Blood Master Steel and challenge him to a fight. So he decided to keep a lookout just in case blood master Steel truly does show up to fight him.

A week passed by as they departed from Gail Village and haven't seen any signs of the Blood Master. Yoze scanned the area and concluded that at this point if Blood Master Steel wanted to catch up with them he had to show up today.

After today they would be crossing the Rapids of this region and it would become unreasonable to follow anyone past this point. So Yoze, Jewel, and Leah were in a hyper-vigilant state the whole journey until they crossed the rapids.

"Blood Master Scarlett must have been messing with you because you rejected her offer." Jewel sighed in relief for not having to be attacked by a blood master.

Yoze on the other hand still felt that the whole situation with Blood Master Scarlett was strange. Why did she want to take him in as her student if she felt he was stronger than her? 

Why didn't she mention she belonged to a sect? If she mentioned that, it could have possibly changed his mind.

Why would someone who had as much control over her emotions play a prank on someone she just met? 

Also suddenly mentioning Blood Master Steel only after his rejection gave Yoze the feeling that she wanted to use him to get rid of Blood Master Steel.

"I don't know if she was lying. It could be that Blood Master Steel isn't as much of a battle junkie as she made us believe but he still might track us down later."

"Either way, we are almost to the city and will be able to find my father's children and my siblings. If everything goes well then you will get paid handsomely and my father will live for a long time."
