Chapter 22 : Ghost Town

Yoze confirmed that he wasn't imagining this flow of Inner Vigor in his body when he saw that he had reached level three in his Big Golem Cultivation method and when he could jump from 300 pounds to 500 pounds in a single thought. 𝘣𝘦𝑑𝑛𝘰𝑣𝘦𝘭.𝘰𝘳𝑔

Though Yoze lost a hundred pounds of muscle to cultivate his Inner Vigor in the end he benefited massively from it. Not only did Yoze not lose any strength, endurance, or speed from his breath though but he had gotten stronger, had better endurance, and even his speed increased due to his losing a hundred pounds to slow him down.

And when Yoze needs his weight to crush his opponents into submission he could jump into the sky and think about becoming heavier and fall like a falling meteor.

It was an overall benefit and had no side effects to think of. The only thing Yoze needs to do is to continue practicing the Big Golem body Cultivation manual and eat a lot instead of converting it to muscle he was now going to convert it Inner Vigor.

"At the beginning stages of Level Three, I can weigh 500 pounds with my Inner Vigor. When I reach the peak I can approximately add another 200 pounds. Adding approximately to a total of 700 pounds of muscle that has the speed of when I'm 300 pounds." Yoze thought satisfied with the effects.

[Talent Mark: 1]

"Nice, my cheat now is putting my Talents into different categories. Now I don't have to look at a blurb of words every time I open it up." Yoze was pleasantly surprised that his cheat had adapted to his needs again.

The first time this happened was when Yoze had practiced his first martial arts technique, Twin Fists, and his cheat had created the techniques section. Now after two years his cheat had once again adapted to his needs and made itself more presentable.

Now instead of Yoze needing to look through all his talents every time he wanted to look at a talent he had copied he now just needed to open the section it was in.

"Since it has adapted to my needs twice now that means that it's going to happen again in the later future. It's possible that when I have more techniques it will also put them into categories."

After celebrating his breakthrough, Yoze went home to finish his preparations to leave Jade City. The next few days, Yoze was busy searching all over Jade City for a large carriage, wagon, and a guide to take them to New Swampscott City.

Standing at the open gates of Jade City, Yoze along with his father and Leah Goat, who he had "convinced" to join in the adventure for the greater good, looked back at Jade City with fondness.

After spending almost two years of his life here, he had developed a bit of attachment to the city. Jade City was where Yoze had officially started his journey of becoming a true martial artist.

For whatever came about in the future, Yoze would always view Jade City with a special fondness. After soaking it in, Yoze absorbed his feelings and asked if his father was ready to leave.

"I'm ready to go whenever you are?"

"Are we ready to head out?" After getting his father's confirmation Yoze checked to see if the guide he hired was finished making preparations for the trip.

"All good to go, if we head out now we can make it to a small town and stay there for the night instead of sleeping outside." The 40-year-old guide commented to Yoze.

"That sounds good then let's head out. Dad, you should go in the carriage and I'll stay out to take care of the goat."

Yoze's father looked at the Red Eyed Goat that his son had brought along. He remembered that Yoze brought a similar-looking goat a year ago. Seeing him bring along a goat for this trip, he had nothing to complain about since he thought that Yoze was planning on eating it.

"Alright, " Yoze's father simply nodded his head and entered the carriage with his body at the moment he got tired simply from walking.

"Are you sure about that young man? There is plenty of room in the carriage to fit both of you and you might not be able to keep up with the carriage slowing us down." The 40-year-old guides gave his advice.

"It's fine, let's try it out this way first. If I'm unable to keep up I'll attempt to enter the carriage. Just confirming that this carriage can support around 400 pounds right?"

The 40-year-old man looked stunned at Yoze's question and replied with a simple confirmation.

"That's good we will go with this plan then."

"Okay, let's set off."

About 6 hours later as the sun was about to set and darkness would engulf Yoze's carriage, Yoze saw a town a mile away from them. At their current pace, they would arrive in ten minutes and be able to rest up in an inn.

However as they grew closer, Yoze, Leah, and the guide sensed that something was wrong with the town. All the buildings and street lamps weren't on and there were no sounds of chatter or playing children. The town was completely silent and looked identical to a ghost town.

"Emerald Town."

A large sign in front of the town's entrance showed that this was indeed the town that they had planned to be their resting spot for the night.

"Stop!"

Yoze suddenly stopped walking and commanded the guide to stop the carriage. Yoze took a couple of sniffs in the air before exchanging glances with Leah and both came to the same conclusion.

"I have a bad feeling about this town, let's turn back to distance ourselves and come take a look at what has happened to Emerald Town with the daylight."

"I agree." The guide quickly agreed with Yoze's suggestion as he too felt that something was wrong with the town.
