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

Chapter 72 - Training Part 1

"So when do we begin my training," asked Adam.

"Well with that amazing recovery skill of yours, I have nothing to worry about. I can beat you until you are on the verge of death, then allow you to recover, then beat you again until you get strong" answered his master as he burst out into laughter.

While laughing he suddenly disappeared, and before Adam could react, he was suddenly kicked on his back and launched tumbling forwards.

"Lesson 1, never allow your opponent to have the first attack, which gives them the upper hand and an advantage in the battle" stated his master.

Adopting a boxing stance, Adam prepared to block his master's next attack, but his master's attack was so fast, he couldn't even see it and he was kicked on his bottom and hurled into the air.

"Lesson 2, always be ready for battle and never drop your guard" stated his master.

Adam wasn't angry or annoyed by his master's arrogant tone or rough way of training, but was more focused on trying to keep up with his master's attacks and soak in everything his master was teaching him.

He had never had combat classes and was only going off what he had seen online, without any first-hand experience or training in close combat.

Adam hadn't noticed, but his master had taken out his contact lenses and his eyes were now back to their natural red colour.

His master had taken care of him and regulated Adam's body while he was in the dungeon, trying to keep Adam alive.

But little did he know Adam was hunting in a dungeon for double the amount of time that he was sleeping and was strengthening himself through hunting.

Adam looked around the room and knew that he had no chance against his master, but if he had two daggers, he might be able to catch his master off guard. He also wanted to test out his Dual Slash Skill that he was yet to use in reality.

There were many weapons of all kinds hung on the walls of the dojo, and in the right corner of the dojo, Adam spotted a few sets of short daggers that were perfect for his fighting style.

[I have no chance to get to the daggers before him, so I need to get me to hit me in the direction of the daggers and then I might be able to get them before him] planned Adam to himself, adapting to his current situation.

Looking at his disciple's red eyes that were staring at him closely, the old man was curious to see how much Adam would be able to improve under his tutelage.

Adam had his eyes on his master, but his master would suddenly disappear and appear somewhere else, using his incredible speed to do so.

To Adam, his master was teleporting, but his master was merely travelling at incredible speeds that the current Adam couldn't trace with his vision.

As his master disappeared from his position, Adam turned as quickly as he could, but his master changed target and went behind Adam again and kicked his bottom, launching him into the right corner of the dojo.

Adam knew his speed couldn't compare to his master's in the slightest and it was almost impossible for him to be able to block it, but he used the fact that his master was always attacking him from behind, to get close enough to the daggers.

"This is like disciplining a child, are you not going to fight back" mocked the old man.

Adam's red eyes didn't waver despite the beating he was receiving and swiftly jumped up and grabbed two daggers that were held on the wall.

It was an ordinary weapon and didn't boost his stats, but it was light and seemed to be durable and it suited Adam's liking.

"Heh, so that was your target all along kid. Show me what you got" scoffed the old man, not believing that Adam would be skilled in the use of dual daggers and even if he was, he still had no chance against him.

Adam was yet to realise just how much 4% mastery over the daggers and 10% mastery of dual-wielding really was and with it, he could be considered an advanced dual dagger user.

Holding the dual daggers in each hand, Adam felt more confident in his strength with them in hand and his mastery and techniques began to stream through his mind.

Adam dashed towards his master, who didn't use his speed to move around Adam and wanted to see to what extent was Adam skilled in the use of dual daggers.

Adam was using a backwards grip that he felt more comfortable using and allowed him to slash out with his dual daggers at faster speeds and with more power.

As he reached his master, he ruthlessly slashed towards his neck, and with his other hand slashed towards his body, knowing that he would be able to dodge them without much difficulty.

"Trying to kill your master. How am I going to teach you if I am dead" pouted the old man jokingly as he dodged the attacks with ease.

His nature was similar to that of Cole, which was always joking and never serious, only when it was something important.

While his master was joking around, Adam saw it as the only opportunity to land an attack on his master, who would only stop moving around at untrackable speeds when talking or striking Adam.

Dual Slash

Holding both his daggers near his chest then slashing outwards, Adam released two blades formed of energy blitzing towards his master.

Adam could use the skill without thought, through the system, but he wanted to understand how it worked and focused on his body while he used the skill.

His Internal Energy would be sent into his arms and through his hands, into his blades, then they would be stored within his blades, to be released as he slashed outwards towards his target.

Adam was only able to observe his Internal Energy and understand how it was used, because of his high intelligence stat that also effected his ability to wield his energy.

[Did I hit him] wondered Adam as he attempted to see through the smoke that was caused from the impact of his attack with something.
