While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System

Chapter 196 - Ready For The Battle

William couldn't help but be amazed by Adam who could somehow teleport and was a greater fighter, allowing him to defeat Cole quite easily despite being weaker than him.

Cole hadn't been injured much during their battle, but had exhausted large amounts of Internal Energy, while Adam had suffered quite a lot of damage and was quite fatigued, so they both needed to rest and recover before sparring again.

"We will rest and recover for an hour, then spar again. We will repeat this until I am confident enough in your combat skill and with your power and abilities, you should be able to beat me if you are skilled enough" decided Adam.

William wanted to be in charge and wanted to be the one that Cole looked up to, but both of them were looking at Adam in a different light. He was the one that had known about cultivation for the least amount of time and was also the youngest, yet seemed to be the most experienced and knowledgable.

He also seemed to have powerful connections, had multiple allies, was very skilled in combat, and was rapidly progressing with his unique and powerful abilities.

With his shirt that had been ripped to shreds, taken off, Adam sat down where he stood and activated the Ethereal Recovery Skill to recover his energy and wounds.

Seeing him begin recovering, Cole also sat down and began cultivating to recover his energy and couldn't help but wonder what Adam's master was like and who he was. From what Adam had told him, it was his master that had taught him everything that he knew and if Adam was able t become so skilled in such a short amount of time, then how powerful and skilled was his master.

However little did he know, Adam had gained all of his abilities and most of his experience from the Dungeon System and it was only the beginning of his journey.

William paced up and down the warehouse and was annoyed with Cole and angry with Adam, but as long as Cole was able to get the family head position, then everything else was worth it and didn't matter.

After an hour, Adam was completely recovered while Cole was mostly recovered. Cole and William couldn't help but be amazed by Adam's perfect body that was powerful and muscly, yet lean and fast. His physique was perfect for a skilled fighter and was what Cole was aiming for, while William had completely ruined his physique with alcohol and by no longer training his body.

"Are you ready to spar again?" asked Adam who was rearing to battle again.

While recovering Adam had replayed his battle with Cole within his mind multiple times and analysed his own performance and that of Cole's. He could have fought better, but overall he was quite pleased with the way he fought and knew that if it was a real battle, he would probably be able to unleash even more power.

Adam had many different powerful and useful skills that he could use throughout his journey as a cultivator as they all had the potential to be used at higher levels, and knowing that, Adam wanted to improve his use of them.

His mastery was perfect and he could use them with ease since the system had integrated them into him, but that didn't mean that he used them well. He needed to improve on perfect his timing and also improve on how he used his skills.

The thing that he was proud of the most from his first battle with Cole was the combo that he had created with his Dagger Jolt Skill and the Step Skip Unique Skill. He called it the Dagger Jolt Step Skill and was the perfect combination of skills to cover a long gap between himself and an opponent in an instant, and would also allow him to swiftly kill the opponent with the slash of his daggers.

During the spars with Cole, he wanted to create more combos to increase his combat power, and also wanted to train and draw out what Cole was capable of.

Each time they sparred, Adam would use his Step Skip Skill to evade most of Cole's ranged attacks, then would either exhaust Cole's energy storages or slowly deal him damage while evading most of his attacks.

Either way, he would win using his Step Skip Skill, his tactics and his Hunter's mind that enhanced his focus, reflexes and senses.

"Adam, could you at least let me win once. If I can't beat you, how am I supposed to beat Mason?" asked Cole after losing 4 matches against Adam.

Cole had initially thought that Adam was all talk, but after losing every single battle against him realised how wrong he really was.

William had watched all the matches and every time didn't understand how Adam was able to teleport and how he was still able to defeat Cole in every match despite the gap in cultivation level.

"Cole you have learnt a lot and improved massively over these battle and I think your mind has been opened to combat. You need to confident, but also cautious going into tomorrows match and just remember that I got your back" reassured him Adam.

"Alright, but I still think that the team should be me, Wayde and one of the Epstein Family Elders," said Cole.

"Sure, whatever you think is best," said Adam, who didn't really mind who fought in the battle as long as everything worked out well.

"It is important that you eat, then sleep well. But wake up early so you can mentally and physically prepare yourself for the battle" advised Adam before bidding Cole farewell.

With that, Adam took a taxi back to the hotel he was staying in to relay what they were going to do next to Angela and Wayde, while Cole and William left the warehouse to rest and prepared for the battle the next day.
