The Human Giant-Chapter 258 : Unstoppable Immortal Martial Artist

"Geo, thank you! You are the only person who cares about us!"

"Geo the Terrible? What kind of nickname is that? To defeat Yoze, we need to bring out the big guns, not someone weaker than the ten strongest."

"Geo the Terrible? Who is that?"

"Is there something that is keeping the Shadow Lords from stepping in? Why else would they not step until now?"

While everyone no longer felt their blood boiling and threatening to explode from the inside, not everyone knew who their savior was. This was especially true on the Immortal Palace Sect side, as not many people knew that there was an eleventh Shadow Lord.

So they were not happy to see that even with the threat of all of them dying, the ten strongest immortal cultivators from the Immortal Shadow Sect didn't step up to the challenge. There were even some individuals who felt that the attitude that the Shadow Lords displayed today was too odd.

Even if they were waiting to fight the ten strongest immortal cultivators in the Immortal Palace Sect, they didn't need to risk their lives for it. Similar to what Geo had mentioned when he volunteered to fight against Yoze, it was better for Immortal Cultivators to deal with problems themselves than to rely on others to do it for them.

Even if that required them to create a plot that would force someone in, that was still better than what they did now. By forcing someone to step in that would allow Yoze to continue to farm their sect for points, they could at least exhaust him some more.

As for people guessing that the ten shadow lords used this method to force out Geo, they simply lacked information. People in the Immortal Shadow Sect who knew Geo's reputation and his past deeds knew that he would have never stepped in, even if they tried to force him.

There was a reason he had earned himself the title Geo the Terrible. It was because of how cold he was when it came to doing the greater good and using every method possible to increase his power. 𝒷ℯ𝒹𝓃𝓸𝓿ℯ𝓁.𝒸ℴ𝓶

To be called the eleventh shadow lord wasn't because he had fought against any of the shadow lords and lost. He had never fought any of the Shadow Lords, but everyone knew that he rivaled their strength.

Some even guessed that if he truly fought against them, he wouldn't have been called the eleventh Shadow Lord; instead, he would become a true Shadow Lord.

So seeing that the Shadow Lords were willing to risk their own lives and future was insane. And could only make sense if something was stopping them or if there was a bigger incentive that would require them to save their strength for later.

Rumors that the Shadow Lords were saving their strength for something began to spread around like wildfire. Before Geo even stepped onto the stage, various branches of those rumors popped up and formed a life on their own.

Still, regardless of how much the rumors spread and how many people called them heartless, none of the Shadow Lords reacted. They simply sat with each other playing a calm game of chess while also paying attention to the fight that was about to begin.

Seeing that the crowds were more excited about the match and what the hidden motives could be, the announcer grinned as he waited patiently for Geo to step in. Luckily Geo wasn't someone who liked to stall on the inevitable and walked on stage soon after.

Looking at his opponent's 7 feet and 5 inches tall body that was shrouded in a black robe, Yoze couldn't help but silently nod his head with approval. Even though there was a robe covering Geo's muscles and his appearance Yoze was able to tell that Geo's statement of being a martial artist in the past wasn't a lie.

Even though it was faint, he could see that there were habits that were exclusive to individuals who had practiced martial arts techniques and body cultivation methods. These remaining habits were difficult to get rid of or even try to copy since they could be slightly different depending on what the martial artists had trained in.

Combined with Geo's statement, the rumors that were spreading around, and the stories about his accomplishments, Yoze realized that one of his greatest fears was true. He had found an immortal cultivator who trained in martial arts and immortal cultivation.

That meant that his fear that he would someday face an enemy that had superior martial arts prowess and was more powerful than him was closer than he imagined. Even though the information that Yoze had gathered said that he had stopped training in martial arts not long after he became an immortal cultivator, they never said his martial arts prowess had deteriorated.

Finding someone like this so soon after he had arrived at an Immortal Sect both excited Yoze and sent a shot of anxiety into his veins. There was only a single realm of difference between the Crystal Brain realm and the Immortal Realm.

But the difference between their power was enormous, and gaining an infinite amount of time was not something that could be enjoyed by any other realm. Yoze couldn't help but wonder if he met Geo when he had become an immortal, would he have faced someone who had retaken up his passion for martial arts?

An immortal who had the time to spend tens of thousands of years training in martial arts to perfect their craft and even possibly push past the limit of martial arts. Not only would he have to face someone who had spells that were strong enough to injure him badly in one attack, but he would have to face someone better than him in martial arts.

A cold shiver went down Yoze's spine as he could imagine the scene. Every one of his martial arts techniques would be easily overcome, and he wouldn't be able to use his overwhelming physical strength to make up for it.
