BXBX NOVEL Chapter 189 - Preparation For The Spar
Not only did Adam want to prove himself to Cole through a battle, but he also wanted to go all out for the first time. When he fought with Chase he had to hold himself back as he didn\'t want to injure him and he also didn\'t want to show his abilities to Elizabeth and Jaspal, while against the triad members, he didn\'t have the chance to as their battle was short and his main focus was to quickly kill them.
In a life or death battle that was serious and between enemies, Adam didn\'t have the luxury of playing around and just in case they could call for reinforcements or had a secret ability, went straight for the kill.
However, since he completely trusted Cole, he could unleash more of his full power and it would allow him to find out just how capable he was and with his current capability, what level of cultivators he could deal with.
[From his status he has cultivated both internally and externally. His internal cultivation is at around rank 7, while his external cultivation seems to be at around rank 5. His Combat Power is the average of his stats and is higher than mine and his level must be the average of both his cultivation levels] gathered Adam.
[However, his speed is amazing and it must be because he has a Wind Elemental Affinity that greatly increases his speed. That is his speed without any enhancements, skills or techniques being used, so I should assume that his speed is higher than that and I should probably purchase something from the system that will increase my speed, otherwise I won\'t have any chance against him] decided Adam.
"Adam, there is a warehouse near here that belongs to my father and was where I have been training. It is very large and is perfect for our battle and there won\'t be any people there to see our battle" stated Cole.
"Sounds good," said Adam.
Just as they were about to leave, Adam suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder and had realised that he had forgotten about the wound on his shoulder.
"Before we leave, wait for me to recover my wound. It won\'t take long" said Adam as he sat cross-legged and begun to use the Ethereal Recovery Skill.
Cole didn\'t believe that Adam could recover quickly and was slightly annoyed that Adam had begun cultivating or whatever he was doing before they left, but he was suddenly surprised when he looked at Adam\'s shoulder.
Cole was extremely hungry and wanted to get some food, and just as he was about to leave to get something to eat while Adam somehow recovered his shoulder, he saw that it really was beginning to heal.
With his great vision, which had been enhanced by his cultivation, he could see the skin and muscle around Adam\'s toned shoulder, that was injured, begin to heal slowly. But if he could see it with his naked eye, although it seemed slow, compared to an ordinary human, it was extremely quick.
"Am I hallucinating" mumbled Cole to himself as he was amazed by Adam\'s recovery speed.
Adam didn\'t mind showing him the Ethereal Recovery Skill and Cole estimated that at the rate he was recovering, it wouldn\'t take him more than half an hour to recover his wound.
Adam had managed to dodge most of the attack and although Cole hadn\'t managed to see it or realise, Adam had slumped his shoulder just as it was about to be slashed, to reduce the damage that he took.
Because of that, he hadn\'t lost much HP and just like Cole had estimated, it would take him around half an hour to recover and it was the perfect time to relax his mind and his body before his battle with Cole.
Cole, who didn\'t know what Adam was doing to recover so quickly, couldn\'t leave Adam alone in the middle of nowhere. If Adam wasn\'t aware of his surroundings while recovering or was affected negatively in other ways, then even an ordinary person would be able to harm him and Cole stayed with him just to be safe.
In that half an hour, Cole sat beside Adam and cultivated while Adam recovered.
Although Adam was aware of his surroundings, he would have to cancel the Ethereal Recovery Skill that worked automatically, and that would take an instant. In that instant, he could be attacked or killed by a cultivator, so he appreciated Cole staying by his side.
"Thanks for staying by my side, and we can leave now," said Adam after recovering.
Cole was still amazed by how fast it was and was once again reminded of how much Adam had changed and how much he didn\'t know about him, which made him even more excited to spar with him.
Adam stretched his shoulder that felt a bit weird after recovering and while recovering using the Ethereal Recovery Skill, it felt as though there were hundreds of ants crawling over his shoulder. However, the tingling sensation felt weirdly nice and along with the warmth that the skill caused, the skill was quite a satisfying experience for Adam every time he used it.
They walked towards the warehouse and the area they were in was quite remote, which was what Cole wanted, and along the way, Cole bought some snacks to slightly relieve his hunger before their battle.
"Do you mind if I call my father to spectate the battle?" asked Cole.
Adam trusted Cole and a few others, but his identity as a cultivator was starting to become widely known and although he felt relatively safe, he was worried about the safety of his aunt and other ordinary people that were around him.
However since Cole seemed to really want his father to be there, probably because he wanted to make him feel proud, Adam decided that he wouldn\'t mind.
"Since he is your father, he can come, but I would recommend you to also be careful with who you reveal your identity as a cultivator to" advised Adam as they headed to the warehouse where they were planning to spar.
