The Human Giant-Chapter 356 355: Eyes Hidden In The Bushes

The next day, after Evi and Yoze's intense training, was bright and warm as no clouds were in the sky. The beautiful chirps of the birds were signaling that spring was arriving soon.

"Yoze, you suck. But your methods are incredible. I had never felt so relaxed and loose in my life." Evi said with a smile on his face.

Even though he had lost the last bit of dignity in his body, he couldn't help but be amazed at how much stronger and flexible his body had become. It felt as if his muscles and joints had been lubed up in baby oil.

Not only that, he felt a bit stronger as well. It wasn't a major increase, but for someone like Evi, who was an ordinary person before, it was as if he had been training in the gym for the past month. The results of his hard work were finally showing.

"You could just say you are grateful. Even better, how about you buy me a gift when you get to the next town. That would make up for the punch in the face yesterday." Yoze said as he lightly touched his cheek.

Evi blushed as he knew it was his fault for not trusting Yoze more. He was so scared of the pain that he was going to experience that he wanted to give some of it to Yoze.

Unfortunately, even though Yoze's body seemed to be made out of flesh when Evi punched him, it felt as if he had punched a metal wall. The results were obvious.

Yoze's face won while Evi's fist lost miserably.

"Cough, fine, I will buy you something. What would you like?" Evi coughed to hastily change the topic.

"A few textbooks about the world, a few dozen martial art body cultivation methods, an abandoned school building, ten thousand custom-made uniforms for both men and women, and... I will be nice with my last request. I just want ten defeated immortals."

"But other than that, I don't think I want anything else. So when can I expect to receive my presents?" Yoze grinned as he looked at the shock on Evi's face.

"You can get all those things when my ten grandchildren are dead!" Evi pouted before turning his head away from Yoze.

"Hmph! Did Yoze think I am made out of money? I'm just an ordinary scholar who is making 15 silver a month. I can barely afford to buy a few martial arts techniques, much less anything else."

"Also, what is he going to do with ten defeated immortals?" Evi thought to himself before concluding that it was better for him not to think about it.

After pouting for a few minutes, Evi got bored, turned back, and told Yoze he would buy him a few textbooks. Even though Yoze's other requests were impossible for anyone else but the richest people in the world, Evi felt that they were simple jokes to mess with him.

"Fine, I will settle for now. But I will get my other requests sooner or later."

"The day you get those things from me is the day I will become the emperor of the world. I don't even think that anyone could even defeat ten immortals."

"Didn't you say you almost died when you fought against one? So how am I going to do it?"

"One at a time."

"Screw off!"

As Evi and Yoze had their friendly banter from afar, two young men covered in black clothes secretly looked at them through binoculars. The two unknown men had grim faces as they stared at Yoze's tall and muscular body.

Without a doubt, they were certain that Yoze was a martial artist, as only a martial artist could develop their body to that extent, which would make their plan to rob them much more tricky.

"Brother, we should continue tracking them until nightfall, and they loosen their guard. Afterward, you and I can sneak over and take their stuff." The older-looking man was noticeably much calmer than his younger brother, so he quickly made a plan.

"What if we get discovered?" The younger robber asked cautiously.

"Then we run."

"But..."

"No more buts! The Lotus Town has wanted our heads for three years now, yet they haven't been able to catch us. So how could an unknown martial artist and his assistant accomplish what a town full of martial artists can't?" The older robber had pride written on his face as he forcefully suppressed his brother's doubts.

As robbers who had robbed numerous merchants, martial artists, and scholars, these two brothers had terrorized Lotus Town for a long period. This was especially the case for the older robber, as he had gotten himself a nickname for how many people he had killed during his thefts.

Blood Stepper! The greatest robber that Lotus Town had ever seen.

After convincing his younger brother, the two robbers retreated further into the forest to prevent Yoze and Evi from accidentally discovering their traces. Unfortunately, they didn't realize that Yoze had long since discovered them.

No matter how well they could hide their bodies and scent, they, as ordinary humans, could not hide their spiritual energy. So Yoze noticed the two brothers and heard their entire plan with his enhanced hearing.

"Two robbers that have learned a few stealth martial art techniques. They should be good fighting partners for Evi." Yoze's eyes flashed as he grabbed Evi's shoulder.

"Evi, you have rested enough for today. It is time for me to teach you a martial technique."

"I'm ready," Evi said seriously.

He knew this day would come when he would have to learn martial arts techniques. As a future Super Scholar, he couldn't allow himself to not know any fighting techniques."

As Yoze had told him yesterday, a martial artist who only knew body cultivation methods was a cannon without cannon balls. It was not using its full potential and would become useless during an actual battle.

In the reverse situation, a martial artist who only knew martial arts techniques was a cannonball without a cannon. No matter how heavy the cannonball was, it could not do much.

Both martial arts techniques and body cultivation methods had to go hand in hand. Only then could they unleash their full power and not become a liability your enemies could take advantage of.

"What I am about to teach you is called the Spiral Twin Fists. It is the enhanced version of the Twin Fists martial art technique that you had learned before, so you should have an easier time learning it." Yoze said slowly.

He had decided to teach Evi this enhanced version of Twin Fists for two reasons. The first was because Evi mentioned that he had previously attempted to learn Twin Fists.

Even though he said he had given up due to not having much talent, the small bit of muscle memory his body had developed when training Twin Fists would allow him to learn the basics of Spiral Twin Fists faster.

The last reason was simply because he was biased.

Twin Fists had also been the first martial art technique he learned when he started his martial arts journey, and he wanted to give it some justice. Since he was going to make the School of Eternal Knowledge, he wanted to give his students a solid foundation in martial arts, so starting with a basic martial arts technique was a good starting point.

"What is the difference between these enhanced and regular versions?" Evi's eyes shimmered with excitement as he asked Yoze.

"This version not only incorporates what I had learned when I broke past its limits, allowing it to reach level five. But it also gives you more control over your enemies, similar to a whirlpool trapping everything that comes close."

"That sounds cool. Hurry up and teach me before the sun gets dark. I still want to train my Boneless Man body cultivation method before I go to sleep."

"Alright, let's get started then." Yoze smiled with delight when he saw that he had ignited the flames of passion in Evi.

With the two of them focused on training, time quickly passed by, and the two robbers were looking at each other with dismay.

"Brother, what do we do now? We had set all our traps and equipment by the Silver River bridge." The younger brother looked at his older brother with nervousness.

"Though it won't be as convenient to rob these two fools as we want it to be, it should be no issue. Once again, all we have to look out for is the big guy since he should, at most, be a third-rate martial artist." Blood Stepper calmly answered.

"How do you know that he is only a third-rate martial artist?"

"Look at the martial art technique he is teaching his apprentice. It is Twin Fists, a martial art technique useless beyond anything past third-rate martial artists." 𝘣𝘦𝘥𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝑚

"And from the prideful look on his face, he finds Twin Fists to be a good technique." Blood Stepper explained.

He found his younger brother's excessive cautiousness to be annoying. He knew that occasionally, it was useful in protecting their lives, so he dealt with it.
