The Human Giant



With the chances that he could end up downgrading one of his talents, Yoze had decided to increase his caution when selecting his targets. He would only send a talent mark to someone he was somewhat confident had a talent that he was either interested in or didn't have.

Even though that restricted his choices and reduced his chances of encountering an exceptional talent out of nowhere, it would at least protect what he had. Furthermore, he still had plenty of choices to copy from, such as talents from animals, immortals, demons, and abnormal entities.

With the nearly unlimited talents in this world, Yoze knew that what was limiting everything was awareness. If everything in this world were hyper-aware of all the talents they possessed, then he would not need to worry about encountering this situation.

Instead, the number of options for talents he could collect from every single person would be immense as every slight difference from person to person could be considered a talent in the eyes of someone. Whether someone's nails grow faster and longer compared to someone else, how tall someone grew, their bone structure, the pitch of someone's voice, and every slight difference between people, animals, and every creature in this world could be a talent for the taking.

"I could transform myself into the ultimate entity that would be perfect for any situation I find myself in." Finding his mind wandering again, Yoze reeled in his thoughts again and swallowed the Crystal Grape without hesitation.

Just as the Crystal Grape reached the bottom of his stomach, Yoze grabbed two crystals and began cultivating. At first, Yoze found that his immortal cultivation went on as usual as the crystal dust from both the sparkling blue crystals in his hands found itself absorbed into Yoze's crystal nerves.

Suddenly just as the last stream of crystal dust was absorbed into his crystal nerves, Yoze felt a warm energy radiating from his stomach and rushing toward his crystal nerves. Instinctively knowing that this was crystal energy coming from the Crystal Grape, Yoze immediately attempted to create his first set of crystal nerves.

Taking a deep breath, he cleared his mind. He remembered the instructions on how to manipulate crystal energy to spur the growth of new crystal nerves. As Yoze went over the details, he realized that the instructions came from the view of using the crystal energy from his crystal nerves to create another set of crystal nerves.

The amount of control needed for creating crystal nerves was extremely high. It couldn't be done unless he had near-perfect control over his crystal energy. Even though he could try to manipulate the purple crystal energy from the Crystal Grape to create his crystal nerves directly, it would make the process harder and result in his crystal nerves forming defects that would weaken the quality of his crystal nerves.

The solution to this problem was quite simple: for him to absorb the crystal energy into his own crystal nerves and then use them as if they were his own. However, that would result in him having to convert all the crystal dust in his crystal nerves before absorbing the crystal energy from the Crystal Grape.

Only once he had absorbed enough crystal energy from the Crystal Grape so that it saturated his crystal nerves would he have enough to form a new set of crystal nerves. Then, understanding what he had to do, Yoze began to convert the multi-colored crystal dust into rainbow-colored crystal energy as quickly as he could to reduce the amount of wasted purple crystal energy.

With 80 percent of his crystal nerves saturated with multi-colored crystal dust, Yoze found that by the time he could convert all the crystal dust into crystal energy, the purple crystal energy had flooded his entire body with a constant stream of purple crystal energy coming into his body. Knowing that he had made it in time before the crystal energy began to leave his body and dissipate on its own, Yoze breathed a silent sigh of relief and allowed his crystal nerves to absorb the purple crystal energy.

It didn't take long before the remaining 20 percent that he needed to be gathered and integrated with his rainbow-colored crystal energy giving it a more purple shade. Not bothering to wait any longer, Yoze began creating his first set of crystal nerves.

After an hour quickly passed, Yoze smiled as he could sense the existence of a second set of crystal nerves next to his first one. However, even though one of the crystal nerves was artificially made, Yoze couldn't find any signs that pointed out a difference between the two.

If it weren't for the fact that he had three times the number of nerves that ordinary people would ever have and the feeling of having his information-processing ability boosted still lurking in his mind, Yoze would have never guessed that any of his nerves were artificially created.

Even though he wanted to create his crystal nerves as fast as possible to reduce how much purple crystal energy he wasted, after an hour, Yoze predicted that he had potentially lost enough crystal energy to have created another set of crystal nerves from scratch.

Though there was wasted crystal energy, Yoze didn't feel too bad as this was his first time creating crystal nerves. Even then, the time he spent creating his crystal nerve was less than the time Tiki spent creating her third set of crystal nerves upon reaching the third level of Nerve Accumulation.

Not only was his time shorter by half an hour, but that was when they considered the fact that not only was Tiki more experienced than Yoze in creating crystal nerves, but she also had help with three other crystal nerves boosting her information processing ability that she could better calculate the most optimal path to create her crystal nerves. 

Knowing that the first time an immortal cultivator created their first set of crystal nerves was always the most time-consuming, Yoze had confidence that he would reduce the amount of wasted purple crystal energy with every new set of crystal nerves he created.

"One down, nine more to go."
