The Human Giant

With his blood armor on and the intense urge to kill, Jilque didn't bother to give Yoze a chance to finish his thought before making a move. With his toes slightly curling, Jilque's body was suddenly launched forward like a rocket and instantly reached the dangerous duo.

Unable to see either of their faces, Jilque couldn't see the total shock on their faces, but he could imagine it. While he could not use his other inner vigors to their full capabilities when he activated Death Ice Blood Armor, he didn't have much choice.

Blood Masters, who used multiple types of body cultivation methods, were left with two choices. The first was that they followed the path that Yoze had taken.

Where they practiced a body cultivation method that allowed the user to naturally practice different types of inner vigors, these types of body cultivation methods typically became host inner vigors that suppressed the other body cultivation methods until submission.

This technique came with its pros and cons. There were a few benefits to this method, with the main benefit being that it allows the user to use multiple types of body cultivation methods at the same time. In the example of Yoze, when he initially had practiced his Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method, he was able to use the heavy inner vigor that came from his Big Golem body cultivation method and the metal inner vigor that came from his Iron Skin body cultivation method at the same time as his armor inner vigor that came from the Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method.

This allowed for his attacks to be incredibly powerful and extremely tough to destroy. Overall, it led to him getting an enormous boost in power compared to other Blood Masters at his level.

However, this method of choosing a host inner vigor to control the other types of inner vigor has two flaws. The first flaw is one that Yoze had found himself, and that is, for his realm to increase requires his host body cultivation method to first experience a breakthrough.

Even if his other body cultivation methods broke through the next realm, he could not use them to their full capacity until the Blood Weapon Handler body cultivation method did the same. In addition, the more body cultivation methods that the host body cultivation method had to endure, the slower growth it experienced.

For most Blood Masters, this was extremely difficult to accept, especially those talented Blood Masters who practiced more than three body cultivation methods. The amount of pressure that just three body cultivation methods placed on their bodies would result in them no longer having any possibility of ever reaching the Martial Grandmaster realm.

Much less for someone like Yoze, who was practicing more than seven different body cultivation methods. If it wasn't for the demonic level of talents he had collected over the years, he would not even be able to take a single step forward in his path as a martial artist.

This path was for those who lusted for power and threw away their futures. This was known as the Power Armor path!

The second side effect, or more accurately, difficulty, was that this type of body cultivation method is rare. If Yoze hadn't encountered the Armored Swordsman sect and was able to collect their secret body cultivation method, he would have never been able to choose this path. For other martial artists, they didn't have the same luck, so they could only be forced to find another path.

Most martial artists knew this path as the Dual Armor path. As the name of this path suggests, martial artists who have chosen this path will simply choose two Blood Master realm body cultivation methods and train in them simultaneously.

But unlike the Power Armor path, where one body cultivation method becomes the host of the other, the Dual Armor path doesn't allow any method to become dominant, resulting in the users developing multiple Blood Armors, each supporting only one type of inner vigor.

While this seems great at first glance, countless martial artists throughout the years have grown to know the disadvantages of the Dual Armor path. The first is that when a Blood Armor is activated, it suppresses the use of the other inner vigors, causing their ability to use their other body cultivation method to fall.

This means that if they wanted to use their other body cultivation methods to their full capabilities, they would have to swap Blood Armors, which was extremely dangerous in battles and resulted in many Blood Masters of the Dual Armor path experiencing early deaths.

Second, unlike the Power Armor path, their Blood Armor isn't outrageously strong and only boosts their power by the same amount as the Blood Armor of those Blood Masters who only practiced one. So when battling other Blood Masters who didn't choose to train in multiple body cultivation methods, they would only have a minimal advantage.

While the Dual Armor path didn't result in those who followed this path experiencing any large boost in power, it did allow those who followed this path to not experience slower growth as each Blood Armor was essentially completely separate. This advantage allowed Blood Masters to focus on only training on the body cultivation method that they were most talented and comfortable with.

Allowing them to experience quick growth and use their potential to shoot for higher realms. In the case of Jilque, he was only a Peak Blood Master in his Death Ice body cultivation method. In contrast, his two other body cultivation methods remained at the first-rate Blood Master level. 𝐛𝐞𝗱𝗻𝐨𝐯𝗲𝗹.𝐜𝐨𝐦

As someone who reached the Peak Blood Master realm, he was able to dominate his opponents and kill many fellow Blood Masters. To have been able to raise all his Blood Master body cultivation methods to such a high level showed Jilque's talent and why his teacher thought of him as his most talented student.

With such a great future ahead of him, Jilque had no interest in dying in some random town against some random martial artist. Being forced to use his Blood Armor already proved that Yoze was an extreme threat and one that he had to kill and suck his blood until he mummified his corpse.
