"So far, I have been making good progress, and with my recent breakthrough with my Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method, I have become a second-rate Blood Master."
"But I can sense that my progress has once again slowed down. This should be normal since getting through to the next level is always harder, but this is far more than I expected." Yoze's eyes squinted as he felt his mind racing with theories to figure out the problem.
After a few seconds, he had developed a solid theory about the reason for his slowdown. However, if his theory were true, then his future to break through the limits of the human body would be in peril.
"Okay, from the evidence that I have currently, the reason for my slow down is that I am practicing multiple Blood Master body cultivation methods simultaneously. This shouldn't be surprising since this was the same issue faced by people in the Martial Artist realm."
"But unlike back then, I had become a first-rate martial artist before I had started training in other body cultivation methods. And because I was collecting more talents that boosted my martial arts, the slowdown was overshadowed by the increase in speed."
"My current slowdown should be for a similar reason, except it has to do with the fact that I am currently training in three different Blood Master realm body cultivation methods. And this time, I have not been collecting talents that boost my martial arts training speed as frequently, so I can sense the slowdown."
Yoze's eyebrows frowned as he understood this was a problem he would still have to deal with when he became a Martial Grandmaster. He also feared that this slowdown would once again become more drastic once he began to practice multiple Martial Grandmaster body cultivation methods.
"If I consider my current slowdown, the time it will take me to reach the peak of the Martial Grandmaster realm has increased to two years. This is still disgustingly fast, but if I continue to add more Blood Master body cultivation methods, it will only take me an increasingly longer time to reach the peak."I think you should take a look at
"From my current knowledge about martial arts, the possible explanation for this slow down all has to do with how my body cultivation methods interact with each other. One explanation is that when it comes to Blood Master realm body cultivation methods, they are fighting for dominance or are interfering with each other."
"This interference could be the reason why training with multiple body cultivation methods results in less progress. Worst of all, this could mean that to become a first-rate Blood Master, I would first have to make all my Blood Master realm body cultivation methods reach that level."
"The second explanation could be because my Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method controls all my body cultivation methods. With full responsibility for controlling and managing all my body cultivation methods, it becomes harder and harder for it to progress."
As Yoze thought about these two possibilities, he felt they both were decent explanations. Still, he preferred if the latter explanation was true. This was because he would prefer if he only needed to make breakthroughs with a single-body cultivation method to progress instead of having to do the same with multiple.
"In any case, I can find out the next time when I am on the verge of becoming a first-rate Blood Master. So I shouldn't be too worried. In any case, even if my progress slows down, I am not going to give up on my martial arts." Yoze's eyes flashed with colorful specks of light as he clenched his fist with determination.
"Caw!"
As Yoze pondered the mysteries of martial arts, he suddenly heard Scar scream. He immediately understood that she was warning him about the parasitic tree. Having been left to grow for the past several hours, it had grown into a massive oak tree full of acorns the size of fists.
Even though it had grown to 60 feet tall, it seemed to still be growing rapidly as it swung its branches wildly, with one of its largest branches heading straight for his head with enough power to pop the human head like a watermelon against a sledgehammer.
Unfortunately, this oak tree couldn't even arouse Yoze's danger senses as it lacked the power to harm in the slightest. Still, Yoze wasn't going to allow this strange oak tree that was infected by an anomaly to touch him since he didn't know its full capabilities.
So he controlled his red spiritual energy to burn the branch, aiming for him to ash. In less than a blink of an eye, the massive branch the width of a human torso caught on fire and turned into black ash carried away by the wind.
After losing one of its branches, the oak tree seemed to have gone berserk and aimed all its branches at the area where Yoze stood. Seeing that the oak tree was trying to kill him with the same method, Yoze simply stood still and allowed the oak tree branches to pass through his barrier of red spiritual energy.
Just like the first branch, all the oak tree branches that passed through his red spiritual energy barrier instantly caught on fire and burned into ash that would fertilize the land in the future.
Just as Yoze thought the oak tree might throw itself into his spiritual energy and turn itself into black ash, he sensed an intense smell of oil coming from below his feet and moving toward the oak tree. As if the oak tree had been injected with a growth serum, it quickly doubled in size and grew back all of the branches it had lost, thicker and stronger than before.
