Chapter 285 - 2 Months Later
"Well done Adam, that was great. It seems that somehow you have perfect mastery of the skill and through it, you have achieved perfect coherence between your Internal and External Cultivation. Skills that can do that, are the most powerful as they can release attacks that are multiple times higher than that of the power of the individual" praised his master who was impressed by the power of the Air Palm Strike that Adam was able to release.
"At this rate, it won't be long before you are more powerful than me, so it will be hard for you to get combat experience from me," said his master, who instead of feeling upset or intimidated by that fact, was proud of his disciple.
"Don't worry I have enough combat experience and will get a lot in the future" reassured him Adam who knew that he would be hunting powerful beasts in his sleep, so didn't have to worry about not putting his skills to use.
With that, Adam had checked off the first thing that he wanted to do to increase his power, but he was by no means going to stop there and 2 months passed in the blink of an eye.
In those 2 months, Adam had been training and learning new techniques and skills from his master who was eagerly teaching him everything he knew according to what he felt suited Adam and would be the most beneficial to him.
While Adam was busy training, his master was also busy recording all of what he knew so that he could leave it for Adam after he passed and both didn't stop to rest.
When they both ate the cooked meat of the boar beasts that were large enough to feed an entire town, they would talk about the past and it would be mostly his master telling him more about what he knew about the world.
One thing that continued to come up from what his master told him was that the ancients were afraid of losing their power and control over the world and there were four big things threatening that.
1. Cultivation becoming something that everything knows, which would destroy the balance of the world.
2. Cultivators around the world becoming too numerous and powerful for them to handle and soon finding out about them.
3. Technology becoming too developed and powerful for them to handle and overwhelming their cultivation power and knowledge.
4. The Evil Cultivation Organisation rallying enough evil cultivators and power to destroy the entire world and them to create the world of destruction that they sought.
In those two months, Adam's progress speed had been phenomenal and he had learnt multiple skills and techniques that the system had integrated into his body and adapted and improved them to suit Adam.
His cultivation had also progressed just as quickly and he made it to floor 10 within those 2 months, which was unbelievable.
It didn't make sense for Adam to be able to reach rank 9 of the Novice Cultivation in a mere 2 months, but Adam's drive and power were unbelievable.
Not only had his cultivation level increased massively, which would increase all of his stats, but he had also been training his body in reality as well as the dungeon, making it so that his stats were already that of an Advanced Cultivator.
Adam didn't know what to expect from floor 10 that was the last floor of the Mortal Cultivation Level, but he knew that there was going to be a lot more beasts and that it was going to be much larger than he expected.
Floor 9 that he had just completed at the end of those 2 months, had been an extremely difficult floor that he had died on once despite him vowing to never allow himself to die within the dungeon again.
Even with his increase in his power and with the skills, techniques and combat prowess that he had, he still died, which went to show just how difficult the floor was.
However, it was also a very rewarding and interesting floor for Adam who had gained and experienced a lot on that floor.
It was a floor of the dungeon that was filled with giant insects, and although he had faced a few giant insects in the dungeon, the entire floor was made up of them.
It was also the first floor that Adam had hunted on that had multiple different types of beasts on the same stage and different environments on the same floor.
The first Stage of Floor 9 had two different types of beasts and was in an open field that had long grass, small hills and few trees.
The two types of beasts were Tracker Bees and Giant Assualt Wasps and what shocked Adam was that the two beasts were working together.
The Tracker bees were of a similar size to normal bees and Adam would find one in every group of powerful Giant Assualt Wasps that had the ability to fire their stingers that were poisonous, and could also produce more.
Initially, Adam didn't understand why they were known as tracker bees, but after experiencing their ability first hand, he realised just how useful it was.
Once he was stung by the Tracker Bee that was very fast, the stinger would act as a tracker and would enter the bloodstream of the target so that it couldn't be removed, making it so that the Tracker Bee could track the individual forever.
Their speed was incredible and so was their Intelligence stat, but the rest of their stats were very low. However, despite that, after realising what their Special Trait was, Adam was sure that he wanted to collect that beast type.
While he was preoccupied with fighting a group of Assaut Wasps, he was stung by a Tracker Bee and when he went to retreat and recover, he was followed and defeated after he ran out of energy.
The death was much less gruesome and painful when compared to the previous times he had died in the dungeon, as he died to poison and stab wounds, but it was still something that he didn't want to let happen again.
