The Human Giant

After the whole fiasco with Jackie, Yoze was able to quickly receive 100 contribution points for his babysitting services. Excited to spend it, Yoze rushed to the library and went directly to the second floor where the martial arts techniques were located.

Simply reading the descriptions of the Martial arts techniques made Yoze realize how truly basic his Twin Fists technique was. It mainly relied on Yoze's physical strength, speed, endurance, and technique to use Twin Fists. The stronger Yoze become from Big Golem Cultivation the stronger his Bear, Bull, and Koi Fists combo became.

However, there was a clear limit to how large of a combo Twin Fists allowed. As Yoze reached the peak of Twin Fists he couldn't continue with the Koi Fists combo after his 70th punch. Even if Yoze had enough stamina to continue after, the technique didn't have any uniqueness afterward which would lead to the combo restarting from 0.

If Yoze wanted to make the combo surpass the 70 limits he either needed another version of Twin Fists or he had to improve it himself. Yoze thought about trying to improve Twin Fists initially since it was the technique he was most familiar with and the techniques he had access to on the first floor were also basic techniques like Twin Fists.

All the martial arts techniques were either simple or had a limit of effectiveness for second-rate Martial artists, or a combination of both. Since the techniques were on the same level as Twin Fists, Yoze thought of trying to use his 5th-grade Fists talent and 3rd-grade martial art comprehension to improve Twin Fists and break through its limit.

That idea was temporarily suspended when Yoze arrived on the second floor and read the descriptions of the Martial arts techniques.

"Demon Ape Martial Set, this martial art technique covers the use of all the user's limbs like an Ape or monkey. As the user progresses with the techniques they will experience growth in their strength and defensive abilities."

"Solar Illusion Set, this complete martial arts technique set has three Fists techniques, one leg technique, and force distribution techniques. Once users master all techniques in the set they will be able to form life-like after images with just pure speed."

"Drunk Martial arts set, this set has the user instill basic instinctual martial arts into their body. Once the user becomes intoxicated their martial arts skills will rapidly improve. The more intoxicated the user, the more deadly their martial arts becomes."

Yoze gulped as he read the descriptions, he could tell how powerful these martial art sets were just from the descriptions. However, Yoze was in for a tsunami of disappointment when he read their contribution costs.

"Demon Ape Martial Set, 1000 points. "

"Solar Illusion Set, 1500 points."

"Drunk Martial Arts Set, 900 points."

"Fudge is the director trying to give me blue balls. Why the heck did he let me come to the second floor and not give me enough points to buy even the cheapest martial arts set." Yoze grumbled to himself as he could only turn his head back to the single techniques.

After looking around for an hour, Yoze felt his joy from coming to the second floor fade away as he saw that he could only afford three techniques.

"Blood Fist, this fist technique has one technique. Once the user unleashes this punch they will punch with enough strength to break their limits. 50 contribution points"

"Mindless Legs, this leg technique focuses on the user's movements. It has three techniques and each allows the user not to think about moving. Once practiced to perfection the user's feet will act as if they had a mind of their own. 50 contribution points"

"Iron muscles, this defense technique focuses on developing the user's defensive capabilities. Only user's who cultivated Iron Skin and reached the point of developing Inner Vigor. 50 contribution points"

Yoze looked at their prices and saw that he could afford to buy two of the three. While Yoze was interested in getting Iron Muscles in case he ever did go back and start cultivating the Iron Skin body cultivation.

He eventually rejected the idea, at the moment Yoze was comfortable with his current body cultivation method. He predicted that he would be able to break through into level three by next year and cultivate his inner Vigor.

Once Yoze cultivated Big Golem to its peak he might come back and cultivate Iron Skin but at the moment he had his hands full with just one body cultivation method.

As for the last two martial arts techniques, Blood Fist, and Mindless Legs both sound to have mystical effects. Especially Blood Fist, Yoze could only imagine what it meant to break through his limits.

Yoze also hoped that he could somehow use Blood Fist to improve Twin Fists. It was a big ask but with his talent and drive to push himself to the limit Yoze believed he could do it.

Once Yoze made his choice he immediately grabbed copies of the two books and went to the forest to test them out.

"First up is Blood Fist, what does it mean by breaking the limit?"

As Yoze read the Blood Fist technique his face began to pale as he figured out why the description mentioned a limit.

"Blood Fist is supposed to be treated as a last resort. I have to be completely exhausted or in a near-death state to use its true power."

Yoze realized why the director gave him 100 contribution points and not a single point more. The reason is that he wanted to force Yoze to select the Blood Fist indirectly.

The director of the courtyard didn't expect Yoze to use the Blood Fist in actual combat but as a way to train. If Yoze ever ran into a bottleneck during training he could use the Blood Fist as a way to forcefully break through.

The reason for this weird technique is described on the first page. The Blood Fist technique was originally part of the Blood Breaker body cultivation manuals.
