Chapter 515 - Call Out

Adam was sitting in the corner of the waiting area, minding his own business and still only displaying the capabilities of an early Advanced Cultivator. 

Seeing that he was the weakest in the waiting area in terms of cultivation level, he was noticed by many that were also present in the waiting area, while the one that approached him was a large figure.

Typical.

He had extremely large and muscular arms that had many blades wounds, while he had giant and tough hands that had clearly endured a lot of training. The man was also 2 metres tall and had a large belly, which matched with all the scars on his body, giving him quite the intimidating appearance and presence.

Wearing a vest that revealed his bustling chest and arm muscles, the giant man walked over to Adam in a pompous manner.

Adam tutted to himself and couldn't help but say, "So typical. There's always one stupid asshole that feels the need to assert his dominance over those that he thinks are weak."

He didn't speak particularly loudly, but he was heard clearly by most with the sharp senses that cultivators had, and most people had turned to see what would happen between Adam and the large figure.

For him to speak that way, they assumed that he was capable since he must be at least confident in himself to insult that juggernaut of a man. But at the same time, fighting and combat were forbidden in the waiting area and outside the arena, so they were looking to see whether they would break the rules.

"Do you know who I am, kid? Are you looking to die?" the man said as he reached Adam and stood a metre away from him, towering over him.

Adam stood up slowly and nonchalantly with an amused expression on his face, as he glared directly at the man before him that was at least double his size.

"Kid? Listen fat ass, we are all under 25, so you can't be that much older than me. So why don't you run along back to our seat and stop causing a scene," Adam said to him as he took one step closer to the colossal figure.

He didn't need to release his killing intent or reveal any of his true power to intimidate the man and cause him to rethink his actions, but it seemed as though his arrogance knew no bounds.

Laughing maniacally, trying to cover the fear he began feeling, the giant man made the first move. He was continuously telling himself that the small figure before him wasn't a threat to him in the slightest and as a talent that trained his entire life; he had nothing to fear.

However, he was far from the truth and had no idea who he was messing with.

Striking down with unbelievable force, that Adam couldn't help but be impressed by, he recognised the physical strength and power of the man before him. And looking at his body and appearance, it was hard to believe that he was younger than 25.

However, he was blinded by anger after hearing the chuckles of others in the waiting area. Adam had dared to mock and humiliate him in front of so many people, he felt as though he had no reason but to attack him and show that he was the superior fighter.

But he shouldn't have attacked and messed with someone for no reason, especially not Adam who didn't let any offence go unpunished.

Seeing as he had been attacked first, Adam had no reason to fear being penalised for fighting back and most of those in the waiting area had attempted to make a move to stop the attack.

If that downwards strike was to land on Adam's head, believing that he was merely an early Advanced Cultivator, it would be enough to kill him and was likely to cause him irreversible damage.

However, despite his size, he was also quite fast and most were helpless to help or didn't feel like intervening, believing that Adam being crushed by the blow was inevitable.

But what happened next was completely unexpected.

Adam didn't display speed or strength that was any greater than what one would expect from an early Advanced Cultivator, just like he had done against the examiner, but it was still extremely impressive.

Moving to the left with a fast side-step, Adam narrowly avoided the downwards strike with his rapid reflexes and great muscle control, but didn't stop there was he ducked down and unsheathed one of his daggers.

With a dagger in his right hand, Adam hooked his arm between the legs of the giant man that stood with a wide stance while striking downwards, then slashed the back of the man's right knee.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye and Adam moved swiftly and coherently, before jumping back and kicking the man away from him.

With the tendon supporting his right leg sliced by Adam's dagger, the giant man didn't have his right leg to support himself and had been kicked with great force, tumbling backwards as he released a cry of pain.

Instantly, attendants of the Martial Arts Union rushed into the waiting area and were on-site, knowing that fights could break out at any moment, but they were too late. And when they arrived, there was a large man on the ground with blood flooding out of his right leg, and Adam stood a few metres away from him with blood dripping from his dagger.

Immediately, they rushed towards Adam and were about to subdue him for breaking the rules, and they were above the law, able to arrest and punish people as they pleased.

Those in the waiting area that had been watching what had happened obviously knew that Adam wasn't in the wrong, but at the same time were curious to see how things would unfold.

"Freeze and drop your weapon.. You will be detained for breaking the rules of the Martial Arts Union!" the woman that had led Adam to the waiting area yelled as she rushed towards him.
