Yoze couldn't help but think about how many talents he had collected over the years and felt that they were starting to get overwhelming to read. Even though he had a good track of them they were going to get some that wouldn't have a use for a long time.

The Blazing Furnace martial art talent he had copied from Jackie just now was an example. Unless Yoze was somehow able to get the Blazing Furnace martial arts set he would never be able to use this talent to its fullest extent.

Yoze hoped it would have some effect on some other aspects like making his ability to adapt to heat training better or something similar but at the moment Yoze didn't have an idea.

At the moment Yoze was close to breaking through to level three and being able to develop his inner Vigor. Yoze didn't exactly know what to expect and what would happen when he did. He had a feeling that in a few days he was going to break through.

The battle with Jackie who was also a peak 3rd rate Martial artist further harden Yoze's thought that it was better for him to break the limits of his techniques and create a new one by combining them than it was for him to waste his time learning another basic martial art technique.

The power that Jackie displayed with the Blazing Furnace martial arts set was crazy. How could the human body get so hot but not burn itself from the inside out?

Yoze was confident that if he didn't choose to break the limit of Twin Fists and would have lost terribly and if he didn't create Twin Blood Fists he wouldn't have won so quickly.

Yoze was so in love with Twin Blood Fists that when he reached the limits of Mindless Legs he did the same thing he did with Twin Fists. He spends days before using Blood Fist to destroy Mindless Legs limits but also incorporates Mindless Legs with Blood Fist resulting in Mindless Blood Legs.

Unlike Twin Blood Fists, Mindless Blood Legs didn't have an off switch like the original Mindless Legs technique. It was constantly active and Yoze was always practicing it. However, unlike Twin Blood Fists, Mindless Blood Legs wasn't at full capacity when used.

When Yoze uses it unconsciously it only forces 10 percent of his body's potential into his legs and improves them and Mindless Legs itself. That allowed Yoze to keep it active as long as he was walking on his two feet.

The only unsatisfactory after effect was that Yoze's food consumption had doubled ever since he created the technique but that wasn't an issue for a scholar like Yoze. Though Yoze had to consider how he was going to deal with this issue when he was traveling to New Swampscott City and for most of the venture will be in the middle of nowhere.

However that was all for another day and Yoze was satisfied with the outcome of the battle.

With the battle concluded, Yoze collected his 500 silver and left with a smile on his face. Even though his arms were heavily burned, Yoze had a way to take care of that. As for Jackie, Yoze was told he would make a full recovery within a month.

If it was anyone else who had fought Yoze and taken those hits they would have died and been turned into bloody paste from his Blood Bear Fist alone. To take Blood Bear Fist and only have the bones in his hands broken showed how powerful Jackie's Blazing Furnace martial art set was.

After collecting the money Yoze rented a carriage and a driver before heading to the forest.

Yoze was planning on stalling the trip for the next few days to break through to level 3 of Big Golem. He felt that it would be much safer if he became a second rate Martial artist with inner Vigor than stall it.

It was the next day, Yoze had a feast of meat as he exercised to convert it into muscle. After Yoze reached a weight of over 400 hundred pounds he had been feeling like his bones were getting crushed by his own weight.

This pain that came from his bones instead made him smile as he knew that he was at the brink of breaking through. The Big Golem Cultivation manual mentioned that once he felt like his bones were turning into powder he needed to practice another set of exercises to forcefully put his body into overdrive.

In this overdrive state Yoze needs to constantly consume food with a dense amount of nutritional value and calories while also putting weights on his body.

That led to this strange situation where Yoze had bought a ton of meat and found a bunch of large rocks to put on top of him.

Eating the last piece of meat and slamming a 800 pound rock on top of him, Yoze felt his body tingling as he felt that something was coming out of him. He felt like his life force was being drained from him and felt increasingly tired. Yoze even saw that he was shrinking! He was losing muscle mass in a blink of an eyes

"Badum Badum Badum"

As Yoze lost his muscle mass increasingly faster, Yoze felt that he was also getting heavier and stronger. Like every step he would crush the ground beneath him.

Finally after losing a fourth of his muscle mass Yoze sensed something flowing inside of him. It was strange as it felt as light as a feather at one moment and the next it was heavier than a hundred pounds of steel.

When Yoze closed his eyes to concentrate on this weird feeling he felt a strong connection with it. When Yoze wanted to feel heavy that strange feeling went from being lighter than air to being the heaviest thing on the planet. When Yoze wanted to be light, he felt that the strange flowing thing in his body lost its dominating heaviness with a single thought.

Yoze snapped his eyes wide open as he knew what that strange flow inside his body was.

"Inner Vigor! I finally broke through and developed the inner Vigor of the Big Golem body Cultivation manual!"
