Chapter 131: Adam and Chase Part 2

Although Adam wasn't confident that he would be able to dodge a bullet from a short distance, Chase's body when hardened through his Unique Skill, might be able to block a bullet from piercing into his body. However, Chase would still have to take the impact, which could damage him internally and still didn't completely overcome the power of bullets.

"Master I have learnt a new skill that I would like to try out on you" whispered Chase to Adam as they walked ahead of Jaspal and Elizabeth so that they couldn't hear.

Adam had made sure to teach Chase, that everything about the Monk Inheritance that he had, needed to be secret and that he shouldn't reveal his full power even when he spared against him.

"Alright, but for this spar, we will cap our power to that of a rank 4 cultivator, just like we usually do, until another time where we can spar using our full power" instructed Adam to Chase.

Every time they sparred, they would agree on a power level that they would both fight at, so that the battle would be won by the one that had better skills and combat prowess, rather than who was more powerful.

"Yes I will cap my power, but I will not hold back with my new skill, so get ready," said Chase as they entered the room that they would usually battle in, and was also the room that Chase would spend most of his time training in.

Elizabeth and Jaspal couldn't hear what Adam and Chase were saying, but they knew that if either of them wanted to kill them, they would have already been dead and they wouldn't have any chance of fighting back.

But they also didn't say anything or complain, as they also had their private conversations and there was nothing that they could do about it anyway.

Adam picked up a wooden staff and stood opposite to Chase, who didn't like to use weapons and stood in a stance with open palms.

A staff was very different to a spear in the way it was wielded and used to attack, but Adam was using it as a spear that didn't have a tip, so that he didn't heavily injure Chase, and was sure that he would still be able to use it as a spear.

Elizabeth and Jaspal were unsure what Chase and Adam had spoken about, but it was clear to them that they had become very close. No matter how much she tried, Elizabeth couldn't get Chase to join her and Chase would only leave his training to eat, sleep or spar with Adam.

Chase was beginning to become more wise and aware, as after he had gained the Monk Inheritance, he seemed to have lost all common sense. But that only made him admire, respect and revere Adam, who was teaching and advising him, even more.

"Should we begin" asked Chase.

"Go ahead, attack me with all you got," said Adam confidently as he tightly held the wooden staff, prepared to fight Chase.

Adam was quite sure that his power surpassed that of Chase and with his Hunter's mind and his body being cultivated both internally and externally, he had a massive advantage over Chase, which the Dungeon System provided him.

But he wanted to try and defeat Chase while using minimal power, which would show him just how much he had progressed as a fighter and not just in terms of power.

Chase rushed towards him, but unlike how he was the first time that he fought against Adam, his movements were refined, precise and balanced as he launched a swift kicked at Adam's head.

Despite his large size and bulky appearance, he was just as fast as he was strong and had become very skilled in combat after taking all of Adam's tips on board and practising in the different skills, techniques, cultivation methods and manuals that the Monk Inheritance provided him.

Adam could see that Chase's ability was incredible, but he didn't want whatever was in the Monk Inheritance in the slightest and was more than satisfied with the Dungeon System and what it provided him.

He already had the Hunter's mind and his Bloodlust characteristic that needed to be regulated by his mind, so he didn't want to mentally affected by anything else. Seeing how Chase was, the Monk Inheritance must have had a massive effect on how he was and he definitely didn't want it if that was what it would do to him.

Adam blocked the attack with the wooden staff, that was surprisingly durable and had only been cracked slightly by the attack, and pushed Chase back with the staff to create some distance between him and Chase.

Spear Projectile

Thrusting the staff forwards with great power and putting behind it 5 IESP and 5 EESP, Adam launched an energy projectile at Chase, who was a few metres away from him.

Chase in that instant activated his Hardening Unique Skill, that made his skin as hard as rock, and blocked the Energy Projectile with his arms, only being slightly damaged by it.

Adam struck the staff with his knee and broke it into two wooden poles, that were half the length, and dual-wielded them as he dashed towards Chase that was charging towards him.

Both of them had smiles on their faces and enjoyed facing each other, as both of them would have something new that they had learnt or developed to test out on each other and had reached the mutual conclusion, that their power was most important.

Adam engaged in close combat with Chase using the two wooden poles, while Chase was using some kind of martial arts that Adam had never seen before and he fought using his palms.

After they fought for a few minutes, Chase was finally ready to use the skill that he wanted to test out on Adam. They both pushed each other back and made some distance between each other, as they both charged towards each other.
