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

Chapter 414 - Group Spar

The sparring room was massive and had reinforced walls that were made of steel, but were also tempered using energy and protected by a barrier array.

It made it so that even if dozens of Master Cultivators attacked the walls at the same time, the walls would still stand strong, so it was the perfect place to hold a spar.

Cole decided to miss out on watching the battle, wanting to recover as much as he could so that he could make the most of the training with Adam and knowing that he would have other chances to spar with Adam and the others.

Adam reassured him that he would record the battle using a recording talisman that would then produce a holographic replica of the battle and although the insights he would receive from the battle wouldn't be as great, it would give him an idea of how everything went.

Recovering was his main priority, but the others were excited and eager to face Adam themselves and had always watched his power first hand, but had never had the chance to face it themselves.

"Listen up, you may think I am cruel, but this is a training camp and not a holiday. At this moment, I am not your friend or leader, I am your trainer and will not be holding back" announced Adam as he stood opposite Angela, Chase, Elizabeth and Wayde.

They stood with Chase and Wayde at the front, then with Elizabeth standing closely behind and Angela much further behind.

"Remember I have already watched you guys battle and winning a battle doesn't only require one to be powerful. One's combat prowess, intelligence and teamwork can tip the scales and I would advise you guys to try your best to harmonise your attacks, as if you attack one by one, you will merely be asking for a beating"

While sparring against them, Adam was planning to scan and monitor their bodies and also get Ava to do the same, then he would use it to give them even better feedback.

Everyone had flaws and Adam had always strived to cover his flaws to the point that he didn't have any obvious weaknesses, including his soul that he had made sure to cultivate just as much as his physical body, but he couldn't say the same for his friends.

"The plan I was going to propose was that I will be the main attacker with my hardening ability, along with Elizabeth and Wayde, while you offer support. But since Adam knows what our weaknesses and abilities are, Angela is likely to be the first target, so I believe she should join the frontal attack, while Wayde should offer support" suggest Chase.

"We should also have a flexible formation where the one that is fatigued or tired goes to the centre and try getting our attacks to harmonise like Adam said. Also, be prepared for him to appear randomly and suddenly and don't hold back at all as he can handle any sort of attack you can throw at him" he added.

Although he was quite thick, his combat prowess, charisma and leadership skills were impressive, while his decision making was just as good.

He had always had a keen sense when it came to battle and one thing he would make sure he did was never repeat the same mistake.

They all agreed with his plan and although they knew that Adam had most likely heard their plan, it was likely to throw him off and give them an advantage.

"Ready to begin?" asked Adam, after he saw that they had finished planning how they were going to face him.

It was just like Adam had hoped and they were attempting to form a strategy and Adam wanted to leaders of the Sentinels Faction to be a revered, powerful and respected team that could take on any opponent.

They all nodded their heads and stood in a fighting stance.

Chase had armed himself with a staff that he had been training in for the past year, Wayde had armed himself with a halberd that would allow him to unleash the most powerful attacks, while Elizabeth and Angela were unarmed.

"Then I shall begin," said Adam before bursting towards Chase.

He started with a rapid kick towards the side of Chase's hair, but mid-air changed his attack to a sweep for his legs.

Chase couldn't match Adam's speed, which was why he held himself back from charging towards him and was on the defensive.

He was fast and perceptive enough to use his staff to block Adam's second kick, but before they could counter, Adam had already jumped backwards and created more distance.

Adam was merely testing the waters and currently, it seemed as though Chase was the leader of their combat team and also the most versatile, capable and dangerous.

Not giving him any time to come up with a strategy or find any openings, knowing that his speed greatly surpassed theirs, Angela and Elizabeth began firing ranged energy attacks towards Adam.

Elizabeth's special constitution allowed her to cultivate using and directly absorb the medicinal properties from all sorts of herbs, treasures, medicine and pills.

Using that she could heal others and herself, but she could also use it for all sorts of offensive attacks using the skills and techniques that Cole had provided her.

Along with that, she was capable of wielding Internal Energy in an ordinary manner and fought in a similar way to Angela, but was more suited to support since her constitution also allowed her to give healing and enhancements to those fighting in her team.

The biggest reason why Adam wanted them to fight in a team was that they all had their own strengths that could be harmonised and matched each other, and if they were able to realise that, they would be a team not to be trifled with.

They fought for an entire hour and despite their performance being impressive, they were all overwhelmed by Adam and although he didn't wound them gravely and held back his power as he struck them, it was clear that they were no match for him in their current state.
