Chapter 431 - Cole's True Capabilities Part 2

"It is straining on my mind, body and energy to attempt to do so, but I think with training, in theory, I should be able to move through solid objects. It might also make me invulnerable to attacks, as they will all pass through me," he realised.

However, nothing was as great as it seemed and it was impossible to truly be invincible, so Adam needed to make that clear.

It was much better than his Soul Form at avoiding attacks as his existence would fuse and become one with that of his surroundings, but it was far from being invulnerable and Adam wanted to make that clear.

"You are far from invincible, and I have dozens of ways to kill an entity that doesn't have a physical body. You realised one of the things I wanted to show you, which is that you can phase through solid entities and become one with your surroundings,  but there is still more to it"

"Think about how you wield energy and the truth is, you do not have a Wind Elemental Affinity. It seems that you are able to control vibrations and the frequency of particles, which you use Wind Energy to accomplish. I would advise you to completely change your viewpoint on your energy and how you wield it. Train your energy control and become more intelligent and capable, then the improvements in your cultivation, speed and power will inevitably follow. " 

Adam's advice stuck with Cole and made him realise that how he had been fighting, cultivating and wielding his energy that entire time had merely been holding himself back.

Cole's eyes were opened up to many possibilities and things that he had never even thought about or imagined, let alone believed he would be capable of.

Everything was starting to organise itself within his mind, and all he wanted to do was enter a deep meditation that would allow him to begin to absorb and understand all his realisations.

He then wanted to go to the energy training chamber that would allow him to train his energy control and begin implementing everything he had learnt and realised.

"Do you wish to spar with me or receive other teachings, or would you prefer to continue your contemplation alone?" asked Adam.

It was a key development stage for Cole, and he needed to decide how he would prefer to progress and spend the training time that he had.

"Thank you for your teachings, but I want to work on this independently. I will find you or use the library for help, practise and information, but I think your advice and enlightenment are enough for me to progress," stated Cole.

Seeing how much Adam was able to achieve, Cole wanted to rely on himself to make the rest of his breakthroughs, which was exactly what Adam was hoping for.

"Then be on your way and take as much time as you need. Nothing is holding you back but yourself and in terms of talent grading, you are likely to have the highest, but with me around, that won't mean much. I will make sure that you all have the opportunity to progress, but in order to make the most of that opportunity, you need to be independent, determined, and driven. "

With that, Cole entered a deep meditation that lasted many hours in which he didn't move, and he was deep in thought.

Although his body hadn't changed in the slightest in that time, Cole's eyes seemed to have changed and his thoughts clearer. 

He was ready to begin his training and felt as though he was on track to greatly surpassing anything he could have previously imagined with his new realisations that were thanks to Adam.

Adam would have never been able to observe such things without the aid of Ava as although he realised that Cole would use the vibrations of the air, instead of actually wielding the wind, but he would never have been able to gain such a deep understanding without her.

In that time, Adam had also called Chase for his training and Chase required even less feedback, and was always developing, improving and evolving without much need for Adam's assistance.

However, there were still things that Adam helped him improve on and Adam had a very eventful session with Chase that was longer than that of the others.

Chase was already doing great and progressing well.

There wasn't anything additional or hidden within his physique, from what Adam could tell, but that merely made what he was able to accomplish and continue accomplishing even more amazing.

Facing Adam in the sparring room, it was clear what Chase wanted to do the most.

Fighting Adam was something he wanted to do at every given opportunity, and by facing opponents that were more powerful than himself, Chase was able to always surpass any limits.

"Slow down Chase, we will spar, but I just want to let you know something," said Adam, seeing that Chase was eager to begin battling him.

"All the others have something within them that I helped them to realise and unlock. However, you have nothing of the sort. That is why I left the lesson with you last,"

Adam wanted to see how Chase would react to what he said to him and one's character and personality were also big factors of how one was as a cultivator.

"That doesn't faze me in the slightest. If they become stronger, I have stronger allies and also stronger people to spar with. While I also do not need any more abilities or special capabilities. I will still become stronger and serve you well"

Chase was a firm individual that Adam found had the least faults and required the least aid.

"The Monk Inheritance can only take me so far, and I am unsure of its limits, but even without it, I am confident that I will succeed. I am not only a monk, but also a warrior, and fighting and working hard are things that I enjoy"

Hearing him say that, Adam smiled, and that was exactly the reason he enjoyed sparring with Chase.
