The Human Giant-Chapter 279 : Plan For The Future

Yoze sighed as he felt that the more he experienced in this world, the higher the ceiling of strength became. When he first arrived, he had always thought that Martial Grandmasters were the strongest beings in this world, with the expectation that Immortals and demons were stronger.

But at that time, he had always assumed that demons and immortals were similar to the next level above the Martial Grandmaster realm. He had never expected that it was completely different and there was no relation to one another. 𝑏𝘦𝘥𝑛𝘰𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Now even with his extreme strength and prowess, he felt that the ceiling of power for immortals and demons might not have a limit. They could continuously get stronger and stronger the longer they lived and could reach the levels of the gods.

"How am I going to catch up? How does someone compete with beings that are more than tens of thousands of years old?"

"Even talent can't compete with that large of an age gap. If I want to be able to protect my family and myself from everything, I need to look for another way than simply following the same path that others have taken." Yoze felt his blood pressure rise as he began to feel stressed.

Ever since he had gotten his cheat, he had always felt his progress was continuously getting faster and faster. But he knew now that it was beginning to level off. The reason was simple: he was starting to reach a phase where it was difficult to find people with good enough talent that he could guarantee that he could upgrade his talent pool.

It wasn't much of a problem for his talents relating to spiritual energy or immortal cultivation since he has had many opportunities to get a lot of talents from these categories. Instead, it came from his martial arts talents since he had so many that it was nearly impossible for him to keep track of it all.

It had gotten to the point that he was so talented that if he focused on his martial arts alone, he could reach the next level of the Blood Master realm in three months. Reaching the peak in one year before becoming a Martial Grandmaster himself.

His speed was astonishing, and he had trouble comprehending that anyone on the entire planet was more talented than him in this regard. But this was simply because of the quantity of talent he had that helped boost his martial arts progress and less of the quality.

"The Second Best System is beginning to live up to its name."

From the beginning, the quality of talents he could collect was always capped. He could never be the best in any talent and could only be slightly worse than the person he acquired it from.

So unless someone or he broke through into a grade 10 Crystal Nerve talent, he would never be able to have a heaven-grade talent. He would forever be stuck at the Earth rank or, more accurately, grade-8 talent.

"Even though my grade of talents is capped and I might find myself struggling to find more talents in the next coming decades. It doesn't mean much when my progress will be so monstrously fast that only God's children might be able to do better."

"And even then, I still will be only in second place when it comes to talent, not prowess or experience. So as long as I continuously work hard and develop myself, I shouldn't be afraid of anything." As Yoze's thoughts and concerns rapidly passed through his mind, he felt his stress melt away as he knew that unnecessary stress would only slow him down.

He didn't need to worry about those monster demons and immortals that were so old and powerful that they bordered the line of becoming gods. All he had to do was focus on his current concerns and take things step by step.

"My first plan of action should be getting familiar with the Immortal Palace Sect before finding a way to move Tiki, Dreyer, and my father here. It might not be the safest, but I will feel much better if they are by my side, at least until I can strengthen them enough that they can protect themselves."

"After that, I need to prepare for the Demon Summit that is happening soon. If it's anything like the immortal world, I should find myself surrounded by talents and powerful demons."

"As for what comes next, I'll make a decision when it comes to it. There is no point in making a plan too far into the future if it is bound to change." As Yoze resolved his concerns and set a solid plan for himself, he turned to Immortal Flint and Immortal Glenn, who had just finished their chat.

"Okay, okay, I can tell you are serious about your promises. Can you deal with that little snake biting at our feet before I take care of it?" Feeling annoyed that Gray had lost his sanity and was continuously trying to eat them, Immortal Glenn deepened his voice as he told Immortal Flint to make a move.

"Fine,"

Without hesitation, Immortal Flint raises his hand to his side, causing a black sphere of darkness to come out of his palm. The black sphere wasn't very large and was only a few inches across, but the moment it appeared, the raging Two-Headed Snake that Gray had transformed into froze.

Losing all resistance, the Two-Headed Snake watched Immortal Flint calmly lower the black sphere just above its two heads and felt a heavy pressure restraining its movements further. Just as the Two-Headed Snake's eyes turned blood red and it was about to defend itself, the black sphere rapidly expanded and swallowed its entire body.

In less than a second, the black sphere returned to Immortal Flint's palm as if nothing had happened, but the Two-Headed Snake had completely disappeared. While other immortal cultivators were wondering if Immortal Flint had disintegrated Gray or had merely captured him, Yoze stared at the black sphere returning to Immortal Flint's body and thought to himself.

"I need to make sure I don't get into the sights of any immortals, or I might find myself being plotted against just like Gray and Darwin."
