The Human Giant - Chapter 357: Yoze is a Helpless Maiden

With night fast approaching, Yoze and Evi stopped training and hastily set up a campfire. As they say, training hard works up your appetite.

After Evi started training the Boneless Man body cultivation method, he found that his appetite had increased significantly. Before, as a skinny scholar, his stomach would get full from a medium-sized bowl of soup, but now, he needed to eat a few pounds of food to get full.

Though his appetite had increased, Evi didn’t find this strange and knew this was to be expected. Training the body wasn’t easy and required enough nutrients to keep it active and heal all the muscle fibers that had ripped during training.

So even though Boneless Man mainly focused on increasing the user’s flexibility, it also made Evi slightly stronger.

Paired with his intense training with Yoze’s new and improved Spiral Twin Fists, Evi was exhausted and famished. Yet, his increased appetite couldn’t compare to the monster sitting in front of him.

Hundreds of pounds. That was how much Yoze could eat in one sitting.

“Yoze, is it normal for strong martial artists to eat as much as you?” Evi asked with curiosity.

“Ummm, no. I need to eat this much to maintain my weight. As you know, I practice the Big Golem body cultivation method, which mainly focuses on increasing the user’s weight to generate power.”

“So I need to eat high amounts of food with high levels of nutrition. Paired with the fact that I am also training in eight other body cultivation methods and training many martial arts techniques, it is to be expected that my appetite is huge.” Yoze touched his chin and thought carefully about his words.

“Other martial artists, even Blood Masters, most likely only eat tens of pounds of food, and that is only during their training days. If they tried to eat like me, their stomachs would explode.”

“Evi, you don’t have to worry about that. As someone on the path to learning Martial Formations, you will also start eating as much as me. Don’t worry, you won’t become fat.” Yoze added, seeing the shock in Evi’s eyes.

“I’m not shocked because I think I will become fat! I am worried about how we are going to feed everyone who wants to become a Super Scholar.” Evi’s eyes shot down as he looked at the half-empty bowl in his hands.

“I am grateful for you giving me a small portion of your demon meat, but in the far future, there won’t be just me to feed. There are going to be hundreds of students who are also training in Martial Formations and need lots of food.”

“The cost of feeding all those students is going to cost hundreds of silver every day. That is only considering that we feed them ordinary food and not demon meat.” Evi explained his worry to Yoze.

After joining Yoze on his journey to create the School of Eternal Knowledge, Evi had already decided to give it his full attention and effort. He even planned to temporarily quit being White Crimson City’s scholar to fully focus on the development of the school.

So whenever he saw a potential problem that might affect the development of the school, he brought it up with Yoze. Now that he saw a problem with the school supplying resources to their students, he couldn’t keep his mouth closed.

“Hmmm,” Yoze closed his eyes and stayed silent for a few seconds, causing Evi to worry.

He had hoped that Yoze had already thought about a solution to this issue and hadn’t mentioned this to him yet, but now it seems that was not the case.

“Feeding a thousand students is not a problem. I have the money, or at least I will soon,” Yoze said slowly before continuing.

“I plan on selling the majority of my demon meat to New Swampscott City to raise funds and collect treasures. From how much I can sell this demon meat for, we shouldn’t have any problems with money in the short term.”

“Unfortunately, giving up all my demon meat does mean we won’t have any demon meat to give any of our future students, which will slow down their development. But I think I have a solution to this issue, but I will tell you this later.” Yoze muttered mysteriously as he secretly glanced in the direction the two robbers were hiding.

He was so quick that the Blood Stepper and his brother didn’t notice Yoze looking in their direction. Even Evi didn’t notice this and instead felt slightly relieved that Yoze already had a solution.

Though he was interested in what this solution to the lack of demon meat was, since he had a lot of trust in Yoze, he didn’t question further.

“That’s good. I won’t worry about it then…” Evi breathed a sigh of relief before he hesitated.

“…actually, can you give me a massage? My back, legs, arms, stomach, neck, and thighs are killing me.”

“Okay, take off your clothes.”

“Thank you. I will get the oil.”

“Hmmm, as expected from a martial arts master, your massages are amazing!” Evi moaned.

As Yoze gave Evi the best massage of his entire life, the two robbers in the distance felt as if they were losing their minds. It was nearly midnight, and these two young men were not going to sleep.

Instead, one of them began to strip off their clothes while grabbing some oil. Blood Stepper’s first thought was that he might have misunderstood Evi and Yoze’s relationship.

But when he saw that Yoze was only giving Evi a massage, he couldn’t help but feel slightly disappointed. If he was going to stay up and hide in a cold bush so late in the night, he wanted to at least watch something interesting.

“Brother, this is perfect. After this massage, they both should be tired and fall into a deep slumber. We can then sneak in, grab their stuff and go.” Blood Stepper whispered to his brother, who was staring intently at Yoze and Evi, ensuring they didn’t accidentally discover them.

“Brother, how about you go and steal it, and I stay back to guard the area?”

“Nonsense, they have so much stuff that I need your help to carry it all. Also, why would I need you to guard the surroundings? If there is a hint that something is wrong, we run.”

“But…”

“No buts! I don’t understand why you are so cautious today. There is nothing out of the ordinary.” Blood Stepper easily interrupted his younger brother and shut down his suggestion.

“I just have a bad feeling.”

“You are just hungry.” Blood Stepper said softly before patting his younger brother on the head.

His younger brother always had a bad feeling when they robbed people, so he didn’t take his warning seriously. This was an issue with his younger brother’s morals not being corrupt enough to play the game of theft.

This was annoying for a professional, ruthless thief like Blood Stepper. Still, it is one of the reasons he loved his younger brother. They had different moral systems, so his younger brother could always keep him from going too far in his robberies.

“Here, eat my candy bar. This should fill you up until we complete this mission. And look, those two already fell asleep while we were talking.”

“We will wait 15 minutes for them to go into a deep sleep before making a move.” Blood Stepper calmly said as he handed his younger brother a candy bar that was in his pocket.

As the younger robber ate his candy bar, he felt much better. He couldn’t help but think that his brother was right this time. He really was just hungry.

Fifteen minutes passed by as two black shadows quickly made their way to a recently extinguished campfire. From the lack of sound from these two shadows’ movements, it was clear that they had trained in some kind of movement technique that allowed them to be silent in the night.

As if the two shadows knew the campsite like the back of their hand, they easily walked over to a tall tree that hid two giant lumps. One of the lumps was clearly much larger than the other, so the two shadows split up.

Blood Stepper, who was one of the shadows, made his way to the large lump and skillfully grabbed the large bag next to it. After making sure that he didn’t take up the sleeping giant underneath the tarp, he silently made his way deeper into the forest.

“Ahhh! Brother, help me!”

Unfortunately, he wasn’t able to get far before he heard his younger brother’s frightened scream.

“Shit!” Blood Stepper bit his lip, rushed back to the shifting large lump, and took out his knife.

“Don’t do anything to my brother, or your master will have his throat slit!”

In such a dangerous situation, Blood Stepper knew he had to take back the upper hand and prevent the real martial artists from taking action. Only then could his younger brother and he have a chance to escape from this incident unscathed.

“Ah, help me, Evi! I am in danger!”
