Angela as soon as the great elder announced that they could begin, jumped back and created distance between herself and her opponents, while Cole also did the same, but didn't move back as much as Angela.

That left Adam in the same place as he stood, as he was the only one that didn't move, and had 3 opponents dashing towards him and his companions that were behind him.

Mason dashed in the direction of Cole, Martha in the direction and Damian in the direction of Adam, wanting to split them apart and let their anger out on the opponent that they harboured the most hatred towards.

Seeing how the formation that the opponents were in, Adam and his companions couldn't help but smile. It had turned out exactly as he said it would and Adam had already guessed how they would attack them and also formulated a rough plan to deal with them.

Damian although had grade E:4 talent and didn't have an elemental affinity, was still on a similar cultivation level to Mason because of his hardworking and perceptive nature and was very skilled in the use of the staff, which was his main weapon.

Meanwhile, Martha was also at a similar cultivation level to them and also didn't have an elemental affinity, yet was one of the most skilled and talented in the Maxwell Family, especially when it came to her skill in the use of the sword.

Their speed was incredible and while dashing towards their opponents, they all withdrew their weapons that were concealed very well and stored in different ways around their bodies.

Even in the large cultivation families, elemental affinities were things that were rare and those that had one, were valued massively and in special cases like Wayde, people that weren't in any of the large cultivation families could be found with incredible elemental affinities.

Altogether there weren't more than 100 known, powerful and capable cultivators in New York that had elemental affinities, which made people like Cole, Angela, Mason and Wayde very rare and valuable to any family or organisation.

"You bastard will die" roared Damian who was the first to reach his opponent out of the three as Adam hadn't moved from his starting position.

His speed was terrifying and most cars would even struggle to reach the speeds that he could move in as he suddenly took out a small black pole that began to extend into a two metre long staff.

The staff was both durable, hard and flexible, making it the perfect weapon to block, attack and use in other ways in combat. Damian had trained in the use of the staff for years and had become very skilled in its use.

Stabbing his staff into the ground, with the flexible material that it was made of, Damian was able to use it to propel himself towards Adam like a bullet.

Damian used it in the same way that pole vaulters would use their long flexible poles in the Olympics, but instead was propelling himself forwards with his leg stuck out, aiming to kick Adam in the head.

The speed and power of Damian's kick was enough to shatter Adam's bones and if he were to strike an ordinary person with it, his leg would pierce through and instantly kill the individual.

Adam could barely react to the speed of the attack, but as long as he had even a split second to think, use his Internal Energy and activate his Step Skip Unique Skill, he could avoid the attack.

Just as Damian was about to burst out into laughter, sure that the speed and power of his attack was enough to easily kill Adam who was at quite a low cultivation level, he suddenly felt Adam's presence disappear and he didn't hit anything.

While mid-air and moving at dozens of miles per hour, Damian stabbed his staff into the ground and abruptly stopped his movement and landed on the ground to see that Adam stood behind him with his arms still crossed, wanting to humiliate Damian.

"You shouldn't have come for me," said Adam.

The crowds watching began to cheer seeing the first altercation between the youths as the other 4 were yet to clash, but they were still all baffled by how Adam disappeared and dodged his attack.

His speed couldn't be that fast, as not even the elders could see him move and merely saw him appear and disappear. If he really was that fast, he would have been able to easily take down all three of his opponents without breaking a sweat, but it was quite clear that he was somehow able to disappear and appear in another position.

Just as the crowd were excited to watch the mysterious youth battle against the skilled Damian who was furious and ready to attack a second time with his staff, the figure suddenly appeared 7 metres away from Damian then rushed after Mason who was rushing after Cole.

He had managed to get Damian away from his companions for a few seconds, and he was confident that Angela would be able to handle herself against Martha, so he rushed to support Cole against Mason.

Adam wanted to make sure that his companions were within his teleporting range so he could save them if they were on the verge of being defeated and all three of them had a key role to play in the team, unlike their opposition that were fighting separately and wanted to show off their own individual power.

Damian and the crowd were baffled by how Adam as able to disappear and appear in another place and in those moments of amazement, Adam was able to reach Cole who was being bombarded with powerful fire attacks from Mason.

Mason's fire elemental affinity and talent grading was 1 grade higher than that of Wayde, making him an incredibly powerful and capable individual. However, his skill, perceptivity and determination were lower than that of Wayde and it was unlikely that he would be able to reach the power level that Wayde was at by the time he was Wayde's age.

Despite that, his power was still frightening and he was much more powerful than Cole in terms of raw power.

Using a Movement Technique that used his wind elemental affinity to grant him incredible speed, Cole was able to evade the fireballs that Mason was flinging towards him as he maintained the distance between them.

The Movement Technique allowed his speed to be of that of an early Advanced Cultivator and gave him a great power boost, but was quite heavily draining and Mason also had techniques that could enhance his body.

Cole's wind elemental affinity could counter Mason's ranged attacks as he could control the air around it to reduce the power and speed of the attack, or he could use a gust of wind to knock the attack off its course.

Meanwhile, Martha was engaging with Angela in close combat and striking her with her sword, but Angela's movements were incredibly smooth and it was as though she was somehow gliding on the ground.

Evading all of Martha's attacks, Angela was using her water elemental affinity to form shields and weapons to defend herself and had reached a stalemate with Martha who had strong offensive power than her.

The crowd watching the abilities of the 6 youths were amazed and the teams seemed relatively evenly matched, but they could all clearly see that Mason's teams were the aggressors that had higher offensive power.

Withdrawing two daggers that were strapped around his waist, Adam's speed suddenly increased massively as he burst towards Mason and slashed at his back.

It was the Dagger Jolt Skill and it was the first time that Adam had used against a person with the intent to wound them, but despite wanting to wound Mason, he wanted to leave killing him to Cole.

Mason sensing the attack coming from behind was annoyed at Damian who couldn't keep his opponent with him, but he was by no means afraid of the attack.

Although the attack was fast and with the daggers Adam could wound Mason's back, Mason scoffed at Adam's attempt to injure him and suddenly released a burst of fire out of his back.

Mason was wearing a special white battle suit that the Epstein Family had produced for him, which would allow his flames to get through without burning his clothes.

Wayde seeing Mason's attack was surprised as it required great control to be able to release flames out of his back as it required him to control his Internal Energy and use his elemental affinity to release the Fire Energy out of the pores on his back.

Adam who was about to slash Mason's back was launched flying back and had managed to block most of the attack's impact with his arms that had instantly suffered third-degree burns.

Despite the excruciating pain on his arms, Adam's expression was still calm and concentrated on their battle as a thick killing intent was suddenly released from his body.
