Chapter 472 - Duel Accepted Part 1

Adam speaking Russian wasn't anything amazing, but what shocked the giant man was his confidence and tone.

Sitting down on the chair opposite the giant man, Adam didn't wait to be excused or ask fr permission to sit down, which the soldiers knew angered the old man.

His office was a sacred place to him and they couldn't help but begin to feel fear, knowing that once their boss got angry, calming him down before he destroyed the entire base was very difficult.

"Leave us," he ordered to the soldiers, who were eager to leave.

They didn't know what to expect from Adam and their boss's meeting, but they knew that it was something that they couldn't get involved in and they quickly left the large office.

"So, it was you that dared to enter one of our abandoned facilities and even entered this country as you pleased," the giant man said as he stood up from his chair.

He really was three metres tall and had a herculean figure, as he tried to bear over and intimidate Adam.

"Just sit down old man, there is no need for that. I am not looking or a fight or trouble, but you can't scare me with your big muscles," said Adam as he laughed slightly.

Hearing that, the giant man who had never been disrespected didn't know how to react or who Adam was, but since what he said seemed to be the truth, he sat down and sighed to himself.

"It usually works on most people, and even while you are cuffed, you show no fear. You are either extremely confident or crazy, but either way, you have committed a serious offence," 

"I did not. The facility was abandoned, and it was you who committed an offence, sending out your measly subordinates to capture me and putting these cuffs on me,"

After saying that, Adam suddenly disappeared for a split second and in that second, switched to his Soul Form, then reverted to his Physical Form.

Since he did so while he was invisible and it was so quick, the giant man couldn't understand or see what exactly had happened, but the next thing he knew, the cuffs fell to the ground.

How a cultivator was able to get out of the cuffs was unknown, as even he wouldn't be able to pull off something like that, but it definitely couldn't be done by just anyone?

The giant man was shocked by what he had just seen, but was still calm and saw Adam as someone he could easily crush as he listened to what he had to say next.

"Now then, I am Adam and you might know me as Death on the Top Cultivator Ranking," he revealed.

"Oh, so you are that newcomer on the rankings. Apparently, you beat that Silent Ghost assassin guy,"

"Yes," confirmed Adam, who didn't know that his battle with the Silent Ghost had become something known by others.

"Well, you are impressive and young, but your ranking is greatly lower than mine and you still have a long way to go," he said arrogantly, after confirming who Adam was.

He had heard about him and if he was someone with a profound background, like those from the hidden sects, then he would have to be wary of him, but it was common knowledge that he was an independent cultivator.

"You think so old man. I already beat one old man, I don't mind adding a second onto my record," said Adam, who despite seeing the gap in their power, was confident in himself.

Hearing that, the giant man began to laugh, and he had an extremely loud and deep voice that echoed throughout the base.

"You are one crazy kid. Even in the middle of my territory and base, and even though you are alone and much weaker than me, you dare to challenge me," he said as he put his hand out to pet Rex.

As soon as his hand neared Rex, the small dog beast chomped down on it as hard as it could and what happened surprised them all.

Adam had seen how sharp and large Rex's teeth were, while it could also assume that from the speed and power behind the bite, it would be enough to completely tear off a limb of any other cultivator, and yet it only let a few small marks on his enormous hand.

While the giant man was shocked because the small dog had managed to make him bleed a small amount, which even early Grandmaster Cultivators would struggle to do.

"That was one powerful bite. That little one is quite dangerous," the giant man said as he pulled away his hand that quickly healed the small cuts.

Adam was shocked by how hard the giant man's body was and it seemed as though his muscles weren't just for show.

He didn't have a Hardening Ability like Chase did, and yet his body had been reinforced and trained to such an extent.

"That is one tough body you have got there," said Adam.

There was some tension in the air and the giant man didn't know what to do with him, but after a short while, Adam made a suggestion.

"I am not your enemy and don't have any malicious intentions, while I am sure you already know that I am independent. I can agree that I may have been trespassing, so how about we sort this out with a simple duel between you and me,"

His suggestion caused the giant man to burst out into laughter.

"You clearly feel as though you can easily defeat me so you have no reason to refuse. Since we are not enemies, we cannot kill or severely harm the other, all we need to do is take the other down. The last one standing is the winner," continued Adam.

The giant man was laughing hysterically, but seeing that Adam was serious and interested to see what the newcomer on the Top Cultivator Ranking could do, he agreed, but he had one condition.
