Chapter 357: Unexpected Reward

[To always stick to my roots and ambitions] repeated Adam to himself, thinking about Ava's advice.

Morals and ethics were a blurred concept in the world of cultivation and something were long wrong and doing them, would definitely weigh down and Adam's consciousness.

He knew he could turn into a monster that didn't care about his actions, but that would make him weak as one that couldn't care about anything, didn't have anything to live to fight for.

Even ordinary people can commit atrocious acts that kill or negatively affect many people and it becomes even worse when people become more arrogant and feel superior after cultivating.

Adam could kill thousands of normal humans in a matter of seconds without breaking a sweat, but that didn't mean that because he could, it was fine to do so.

It was similar to how Angela was before Adam helped her change and most cultivators thought that way and wouldn't care much about the pain or death of some ordinary people.

Cultivation made people's hearts cruel and although it was meant for one to become more mature, it wasn't made to look down on others and Adam would crush anyone that abused their power.

He felt much clearer about his purpose, ethics and life in general than he had ever felt and didn't need any more time to ponder on it as he urged Ava to continue with what she had to tell him.

{First comes another reward, and second, comes another massive addition to the system that has multiple rewards and will change the course of the host's progress. After experiencing and using the massive addition to the system, the host will completely change how he looks at the world and will also become much more capable and knowledgable} said Ava, teasing Adam and piquing his curiosity.

[Get on with it] urged Adam, eager to begin using all the things that the system was providing him with

{The reward is something that the host has been wanting for quite a while. It is an Elemental Affinity and it will be F:1 graded. The host can choose what elemental affinity that the host would like to acquire first and there are also additional special properties that your elemental affinity will have} stated Ava.

Adam was overjoyed with the reward and had been planning on purchasing an elemental affinity, but he still hadn't decided on what kind of elemental affinity he wanted to start with.

In the future, he wanted to be a master of all forms of energy, but his first choice was an important one and he needed to choose one that would cover any weaknesses that he had.

[What elemental affinities are available for me to choose from?] asked Adam.

{The host can only choose from the basic, common and fundamental elemental affinities. They include Fire, Wind, Earth and Water. There are other elemental affinities, but cannot be accessed by the host until he has gathered all four other elemental affinities and they are very rare. They include the lightning elemental affinity, darkness elemental affinity and light elemental affinity as well as many others}

{The host's body can switch energy types and is compatible with all forms of energy, but it is still straining on the body to have multiple elemental affinities and learning to control different types of energy is difficult. The host shouldn't bite off more than he can chew and should pick one basic one to practise in well and master before thinking about acquiring others} advised Ava.

Most of what Ava had said was what Adam already knew or had gathered from all the knowledge he had acquired.

Everything is a form of energy and can be used and applied in different ways, but can all be consumed by his Devouring Death Daggers.

[I pick the Fire Elemental Affinity] decided Adam.

The Fire Elemental Affinity would boost his explosive power as well as improve and provide him with the means to unleash powerful, wide-range attacks.

It would also allow him to increase the power of all of his skills by using fire energy through them and would assist his improvement and mastery of the Burst Movement Skill that could become the Flame Burst Movement Skill.

Unleashing powerful attacks was never Adam's strong suit and he was more of a stealthy assassin and hunter, but with his new Fire Elemental Affinity, that would longer be the case.

Looking in his inventory, Adam found 5 new items.

The 3 Special Rings, the Devouring Death Daggers and a flame symbol that once he equipped, would integrate the Fire Elemental Affinity with his body.

Adam didn't have any time to waste or reason to hesitate as he went to equip the Fire Elemental Affinity.

His master wasn't with him at that current moment and he was hoping that he could quickly acquire it without alerting his master, as explaining how he suddenly awakened a Fire Elemental Affinity would be very difficult.

And for other cultivators, if they unexpected or somehow gained an Elemental Affinity, they would have to destroy their cultivation and restart, as they would need to cultivate with Fire Energy, otherwise, they wouldn't be able to use their Elemental Affinity.

Because of that, if he was able to use it, more about Adam's unique and miraculous constitution would be revealed, which he didn't mind if it was his master, but would be very hard to explain without revealing the Dungeon System.

{Before you awaken the Elemental Affinity, I haven't finished explaining its special properties the elemental affinities the host gains have. They have the potential to grow more powerful independently and as long as the host's mastery, power and body are enough, it will grow to reach the host's level} started Ava, pleasing Adam even more.

[Then there is no point waiting any longer. I will become stronger and I will start with this Special Fire Elemental Affinitiy] said Adam to himself as he equipped the flame symbol.

As soon as he did so the awakening of his Fire Elemental Affinity began.
