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

Chapter 278 - Air Palm Strike Training Part 1

[I guess the torture begins now. But this is exactly what I wanted. Master believes in me and trusts me, and is also planning to train me and teach me all that he knows. Aunt, I will save you and Ava, with this newfound knowledge, I will find a way to separate you from the system and I will become the most powerful in the world. All the worlds secrets will be revealed and I will make sure that those that I care about are never in harm's way again] said Adam to himself.

Hearing what Adam was promising to accomplish, Ava blushed and felt the same warmth that she always felt when she heard Adam promise her such things.

After recovering using his Ethereal Recovery Skill, Adam jumped up and was excited to learn the powerful, useful and versatile Air Palm Strike Skill.

"You have recovered completely yet it has only been a few hours. That is one incredible recovery skill" said his master after sensing the state of Adam's body after he jumped up.

"Yes it is, but unfortunately I cannot pass it onto you master. The skill was ingrained and integrated into my mind and body, but I do not completely understand it or know how to pass it on" said Adam, who wanted to be as transparent as he could with his master.

"Don't worry kid, I trust you and have accepted you. I don't want it anyway as I have no need for it. You won't be able to deal me any damage and I am ready for death" reassured him his master as he walked over to him and placed his palm on Adam's shoulder.

"Your body is incredible. It was previously much more balanced, but now somehow you were able to enhance only the speed of your body. You did so by training the explosive power of the muscles and also their receptivity to energy and how quickly they can contract and act. However, because of it, the length of time that you can battle is slightly shorter as it has surpassed the rest of your body" observed his master.

Adam was amazed by how accurate his master's observation was and even he wouldn't have such a clear and detailed understanding of the state of his body, as the system would take care of increasing his stats.

"Your body is amazing considering the amount of time you have been cultivating and every single cell in your body has been trained, forming a solid foundation. But overall, you are still weak and even a child on the ancient lands can easily take you down" stated his master directly.

"I understand that, but I will not be discouraged or intimidated by that. Resources, methods, skills and techniques are all useful for one's power, progress speed and the foundation of their cultivation level, but I will still surpass them all. The ancients will be left in the past and the sentinels will destroy the evil cultivators and take over the ancients" declared Adam confidently.

His master smiled at his self-confidence and ambition before saying, "Although you won't be able to unleash the full potential of the skill and probably won't be able to use it currently, we will begin building and preparing your body for it".

Hearing that, Adam was excited to begin his training and the Air Palm Skill was a very powerful and versatile skill.

"We will begin with a simple exercise. Follow me" said his master before dashing off into the forest.

Adam was excited to see what his master had in store for him as he rushed after him and managed to keep up since his master wasn't using his full speed.

Within a minute, they appeared near the lake that he had previously used to clean himself and relax in, then his master placed his palm on the cliff face.

"I focused on my internal cultivation because I focused on studying arrays. Many do not know just how useful and powerful arrays are, but I don't think it is something you should begin studying. I will leave you some array manuals and things to keep before I die, but for now, focus on building your power" stated his master as the cliff face began to glow and shake.

Adam was watching in awe as the rocks moved to form an opening and his master had a proud expression as the pathway into what seemed to be a cave was lit up.

"This is the base that I spent decades forming and it will also be where you will do the first part of your training," said his master as he led him inside.

Adam was amazed by everything he was witnessing as he followed his master inside.

The base that his master had built went underground and into the cliff face, making the inside massive and much larger than Adam could have ever imagined.

It was brightly lit up, but Adam couldn't see a light source and he also felt that the energy was denser along with the oxygen in the air being cleaner.

"Everything is possible with arrays. There is an array to draw in energy and make the energy within the base, which you should have already realised. There is also an array that is circulating air into the base despite it being closed off from the outside and is also lighting up the place" stated his master.

"It all functions independently and uses the energy in the atmosphere along with sunlight and any life force in the environment to function" he continued, amazing Adam even more.

[This would be an amazing secret base for the sentinels] thought Adam to himself as he looked around him and the size of the base.

Gauging what he was thinking, the old man smiled and said, "After I die, this will be useful to you and I will hand over control of the base to you. However since you will be taking over my legacy, I am trusting you to put everything I have built and left behind to good use".

Hearing that, Adam thanked his master gratefully and bowed to him respectfully.

With everything that his master was giving him, the things that Adam would be able to achieve were much greater than he could imagine.

"Follow me and prepare yourself for some long and arduous training. Even for the ancients, although it is much easier with their natural talent and the resources that they have, nothing comes easy when it comes to cultivation" warned his master as he led Adam to a large metal platform that was in a large closed-off room.

Adam scoffed at his master's warning and was ready for all the training that was coming his way as he followed after his master.

"Go ahead, I won't be entering with you," said his master as he stood outside the large closed-off room.

It was made of a see-through material that allowed him to see his master from the inside, while his master could also see him. 

Adam had no reason to hesitate or feel afraid as he walked straight into the centre of the platform and anxiously awaited his master's instruction.

His master closed the entrance into the room and watched from the outside with a smile.

Without giving Adam any warning, he placed his palm on the entrance, which locked Adam inside, then his palm began to glow as the entire room began to shake slightly.

"Enjoy yourself," said his master.

"What?" Adam said to himself confused by his master's words, before suddenly feeling an overbearing and powerful pressure bearing down on him as he fell onto his face.

It was as though someone had placed a ton on every single part of his entire body and was pushing him down as his master began to laugh.

"The gravity in there is 20 times stronger than you are used to and you will be training in the environment. I won't let you leave there until you learn the Air Palm Skill and once you leave, you will be much stronger and faster after training in such a hard environment for such a long time" stated his master.

"What should I do?" managed to utter Adam as he struggled to get up onto his knees.

It felt as though he was about to be crushed and he could barely breathe, but Adam was happy despite the pain he was feeling.

[With this gravity training platform, which is probably made up of arrays, I will be able to train my body in reality, then increase my stats in the dungeon. I will also learn skills and techniques from my master and also from the Dungeon System] thought Adam to himself.

After a few minutes, he managed to get up on his feet, but was barely managing to stay up and his entire body was constantly under immense pressure.

"Your training begins now and I won't die until I leave a monster behind to carry my legacy," said his master after he stopped laughing at Adam struggling to get up.
