Chapter 516 - Recognised?

The injury that Adam dealt the man that attacked him was unlikely to ever heal and even if it did, it would take quite a long time even for a cultivator, but none of them felt as though he had gone too far.

Cutting the biceps femoris tendon that was behind the knee is the same as crippling one's leg since it is responsible for movement at both the hip joint and knee joint, while Adam's cut was deep and was also causing him to lose a lot of blood.

Unless the man was able to calm down and receive urgent medical attention, the injury could ruin his entire future as a capable fighter and capability, and it was all because of his arrogance.

Adam even felt that he was being lenient and would have killed him if they weren't in the Martial Arts Union. It wasn't because of what he said or did, but because if the giant man's attack had landed on him and he was actually an early Advanced Cultivator, then the injury he would have suffered would have been worse.

With his intention to crush Adam, how could he not expect the same, but it seemed as though he underestimated how strict and quickly the Martial Arts Union was.

He was relaxed and calm, knowing that he wasn't the aggressor and had nothing to worry about, since even in the worst-case scenario he could escape from them with ease, but he was interested to see how they would handle.

While he was also eager to take part in the tournament and get deeper into the union, so he was planning on cooperating to an extent, as long as they were fair and dealt with the situation well.

Dropping the daggers in his hands, Adam was calm and relaxed, which surprised and impressed the onlookers, as he became surrounded by powerful cultivators that work for the Martial Arts Union.

The large man that was on the ground clutching at his leg that was pouring out blood began being tended to by a few cultivators and carried away, being taken to an infirmary, leaving Adam, who appeared to be the aggressor, about to be arrested by those that were left.

Pointing their weapons towards him, they told him to put his hands out and not move until they placed cuffs on his arms.

Those cuffs were extremely durable, so would restrict his movement, but their main function was to dampen the use of energy. It would make it so that it was extremely difficult to wield Internal Energy, while it would also make the body feel weak and sluggish.

"I won't be putting on those cuffs and it was me that was attacked. All those in this waiting area saw what happened, and I was the victim, so please leave me be," said Adam as he sat down and kicked the daggers over to them.

Seeing how nonchalant and relaxed he was behaving, they couldn't help but be surprised considering he was surrounded by cultivators that were supposedly much more powerful than him, but if there was truth to his words, then they would need to look into that.

However, that didn't change the fact that they needed to detain him first and look into the situation, while since he seemed to be refusing arrest, force might be necessary.

"What he said was the truth. It was that big oaf that attacked him,"

"Yup, he was just defending himself,"

"And it was the other guy that started it and approached him in the first place,"

Quite a few of the cultivators present began to speak up, and the cultivators under the Martial Arts Union were split. They didn't know whether to go with their word and leave Adam, or still detain him anyway, since he had fought and gone against the rules.

"You know what. I will go with you, but move those cuffs away from me and take me to one of your superiors," Adam said, starting to get annoyed by the fact that he was surrounded by the Martial Arts Union's cultivators.

While they were also even aiming their weapons towards him.

If only they knew, he could crush them all in the blink of an eye.

With that, they withdrew their weapons and led Adam out of the waiting area, and while they did, he was receiving looks from everyone still left within the waiting room.

Most couldn't care less about what happened to him, but one thing everyone was curious about was who the hell he was. None of them had ever seen or heard of him before, unlike most of the others present, while the combat skill and attitude that he displayed was that of a great fighter.

He had even managed to take out somebody that they thought to be a serious contender for the winner of the regional competition and the title of the Young Star Cultivator in the region.

And yet, it seemed as though he wouldn't be taking part in the tournament any longer, since most of them knew how strict the Martial Arts Union was when it came to following its rules. Even with Adam fighting in self-defence, it was unlikely they would still allow him to participate.

However, that was what they were expecting based on their judgements of Adam so far.

Being led by a group of cultivators to a confined room that seemed to be made of steel and was similar to a police interrogation room, Adam was sat down.

In such situations, the manager of the tournament or branch of the union, who would usually be quite the powerful, influential and renowned figure, would have the make the final decision.

In most cases, they would just expel or ban the individual to reduce needing to deal with any rowdy individuals, but if one was exceptional or had a special background, such things could be overseen.

Entering the interrogation room that Adam was confined in was a relatively young man who appeared to be in his early thirties, and upon seeing Adam, he had a shocked expression.

Almost as if he recognised who he was....
