Chapter 434 - Final Spar

6 Powerful Master Cultivators stood in a large hall that was clad in reinforcements, making the room able to handle any form of attacks.

1 of them who had no aura or presence stood opposite the other 5 and all the others bowed their heads slightly.

Adam had called them all to a final meeting, but he had never expected them to bow their heads.

"You have helped us realise what we are truly capable of, and for that, we are truly thankful. We won't let you down and will surpass your expectations. " 

Adam smiled and told them all to raise their heads and that they were all worthy of their positions as leaders of the faction after their display of talent, potential, and drive.

"I will be leaving soon and all of you know that I am someone who prefers to be free and I want to travel the world. In that time, I want to find out more about and begin facing the Blood Moon Group alone, while I also need to look for my aunt and expand the influence and connections of our faction"

"I will leave the faction in your hands and you are all already aware of my expectations and instructions"

"Yes," they all affirmed in unison.

"But before then, we will have one final spar to show exactly how much we progressed. This time, I truly will not be holding back and I am expecting your teamwork to have improved greatly"

"Angela hasn't been in the group spars, but she will easily fit in and as long as you guys attack coherently and make the most of your abilities and capabilities, suppressing me should be easy"

They were all eager to battle him with their new capabilities and power that had improved greatly, while Adam felt the same way and also wanted to try something.

He hadn't entered the dungeon that past week and also hadn't trained his body much, other than through battling against them all.

However, he hadn't wasted the week either and had been coming up with and perfecting the first extension of his Unique Collector Skill.

Adam had always had this idea of a way to use the Collector Skill that he had never implemented or tried.

It took a long time to figure out how exactly to do it and he had never actually tried to pull it off or seen its effects, but he had prepared himself for it mentally.

He had attempted to recreate an open area in his mindscape in which he had been practising and training the new ability, and was excited to try it out in reality.

Since he was unsure if he could control it, trying it against his friends was the best way to test it out and they could all definitely handle it after the progress that they had made in the past week.

While Adam was also very confident in his own capabilities and was mostly sure that he would be able to handle and control it.

"Just to let you know, I will be trying something I have never done before, and I am also unsure what will happen when I do, so prepare yourselves. Let's make this battle a great one that we will remember"

With that, Adam walked over to one side of the large sparring room, while the other 5 walked over to the other and took a short while to talk and prepare their strategies.

5 Master Cultivators with all sorts of unique and powerful abilities were a force to be reckoned with and even Adam was excited to face them for once, since he would be able to unleash more of his power and have a real battle that would challenge him.

They had already seen so many unique abilities and incredible things from Adam that they couldn't help but be curious as to what exactly Adam still had hidden within him.

However, they were also much more confident in their own abilities and their teamwork, so they no longer saw Adam as an opponent that they were unable to defeat.

"Are you guys ready yet?" asked Adam, seeing that they had finished preparing their strategy.

"Yes," they all replied in unison.

Elizabeth wouldn't fight on the offensive since most of her offensive techniques would use poison, which she didn't want to use against Adam, but she was still a key opponent that Adam needed to take down.

In a single week, her skill and proficiency when it came to wielding a bow was very impressive, and just like Adam advised, she also learnt to use throwing knives and needles efficiently.

Along with that, she also improved the healing and support that she could provide to those fighting with her, making it so that she could also provide medicinal properties that could rejuvenate energy and increase aspects of their power for short periods of time.

Meanwhile, Wayde's flames had grown to be much more ferocious and powerful, even to the point of them surpassing that of Adam's and gaining a unique characteristic.

Chase had taken all of Adam's advice into consideration, while Cole had also learnt to use his true capabilities, which greatly increased his speed and also allowed him to phase through any entity or attack.

That left Angela, who although hadn't been sparring with them for the past week, seemed to be the one that Adam's instincts were warning him about.

It was the unknown danger that one should be wary of.

After aiding her in transforming her energy into Ice Energy, even Adam was unsure of her exact capabilities and power.

All of them were eager and ready to begin, so they counted down from 5, then started their final spar.

Adam wasn't the first to attack and merely watched as Cole suddenly disappeared, while Chase, Angela and Wayde all headed towards him from different directions, planning to corner him and restrict his movement.

Smiling and impressed with their capabilities, Adam activated the power of his Mind and Stealth Ring, preparing himself to take on their attacks.
