The Human Giant

"That sounds like we have a deal," 

Yoze didn\'t bother to think much about General Blood Stone\'s offer and just nodded his head in agreement. He then handed the list to General Blood Stone for him to circle the sects that he wanted him to target first.

"Anyone of these sects could be your target. I\'ll just give a brief description of what and who these sects are so you can decide for yourself."

"First one on the list is the Martial Wheel Sect. It has been one of the sects that have been most active in pretending to be bandits and robbing our merchants. So the Town would love to get rid of them for good."

"Then there is the Fast Swamp Sect which is one of the leaders of these small sects. They even have three peak Blood Master experts so they are quite strong for a small martial art sect. Which makes it hard to dislodge them from this area." 

"Lastly is the Flood Water Sect. This sect is not a major threat to the Town but I have a personal grudge against them so I would like to add them to the targets list." General Blood Stone said as he circled the three sects on the list with his blood signifying their importance before handing the list back to Yoze.

"These are fine," Yoze said as he looked at the names on the list and found that two of the martial art sects selected were some of the stronger ones. Especially the Martial Wheel Sect as the information on them showed that they were the strongest sect.

They had five peak Blood Masters in their ranks and if it wasn\'t for their small number of students they could have been ranked as a mid-ranked sect. What interested Yoze the most about the Martial Wheel Sect was their history of being robbers.

They might have been annoying for the town and merchants but that also meant that they had a large amount of wealth that other small sects simply couldn\'t compete with. There was even a chance that if he looked around he would be able to find some rare treasures and martial art books that even the New Swamp Town or New Swampscott City wouldn\'t want to give up.

"The Martial Wheel Sect will be my first target and I will see how that goes before going to attack the other sects," Yoze said as he put the list of sects in his pouch.

"Good, since we got that settled we will be leaving. We hope that your travels go well." General Blood Stone gave Yoze a heavy nod as he ordered his soldiers to head out.

After giving Yoze one last goodbye General Blood Stone left, leaving Yoze, Tiki, Dreyer, and Jewel alone to deal with Regi\'s bodies.

"Let\'s go get Father checked up first before I head out to destroy those sects." 

"What about Regi and the others?" Dreyer asked Yoze, noticing that he didn\'t mention helping out Regi or the others.

"They are already dead so there is no rush to take them to the hospital to get checked out. Plus there is no point in trying to help our enemies." Yoze said casually.

"So he is the one who sent those human puppets." Tiki caught onto what Yoze was trying to say and realized that what happened today must have been a plot against them.

"That\'s a shame, his food was quite good." Jewel sighed as she softly kicked Spring\'s body.

After understanding that everything had already been settled, they went to a nearby hospital named Swamp Health, and after mentioning that General Blood Stone had sent them there they quickly got room to put Drew in. It wasn\'t long before they got a diagnosis that their father would be back to peak health after a day\'s rest in the hospital.

"Alright, you two can stay here to watch Dad while Jewel and I go out to destroy the Martial Wheel Sect." 

"I think I\'ll stay with Tiki and Dreyer to watch over Mr.Thunder." Jewel coughed as she realized she had just gotten comfortable.

"Weren\'t you complaining not too long ago that I didn\'t bring you along for my adventures? What changed?" 

"You know, after meeting all those Blood Masters several weeks ago. I had realized that until I become a Blood Master it would be safer to stay home than travel with you since your enemies keep getting stronger."

"Also, the majority of the reason I wanted to stick to you like glue was to become your student to figure out how to live forever. But I kinda am already so I will just wait in luxury until you are ready to make it immoral." Jewel said with relaxation.

"Of course, if you want me to go, I don\'t have a choice in the matter since you are my boss. But today I would like to use my vacation days to skip out on today\'s adventures." 

"That is fine by me but I\'m going to change the way I pay you. From now on I\'ll pay you 5 silver whenever you do something useful for me." Yoze casually mentioned as he left the hospital, not bothering to wait for Jewel to complain about the unfairness.

Once Yoze had left town he took out the list of martial art sects and took another look at the locations marked down on the list. After reading the details of how to find the Martial Wheel Sect\'s headquarters he realized that if he went at his full speed he would be able to get there in less than two hours.

"I haven\'t gone full speed in such a long time. But it allows me to test out my new movement technique to see if it\'s better than just hopping with Mindless Legs." Yoze smiled to himself as he activated his Blood Armor.

After taking a deep breath Yoze focused his mind as he used his new Movement technique known as Skipper. Unlike Mindless Legs, Skipper wasn\'t passive and needed Yoze to intentionally use it every time.

However, it was fantastic for traveling long distances quickly due to it focusing on saving all the energy possible. At its peak, it said it could allow a first-rate martial artist to save more than 50 percent of their energy while running at full speed.

After breaking through the limits of Skipper over these past several weeks Yoze had now made it so he could now save more than 70 percent of his energy while running at his fastest speed. When paired up with his abnormally large amount of stamina and endurance Yoze predicted he could run at his fastest speed for a week straight without having to rest.
