BXBX NOVEL Chapter 215 - Learning From The Battle
Before travelling back to Brooklyn with Adam, Angela and Wayde took him to a quiet motel near the edge of Staten Island and wanted to ask him whether he wanted to go with them or not.
Adam had lost consciousness before any of them could ask him what he wanted to do next.
The motel they had chosen was very cheap, but they didn\'t care about money and chose it because it was in a secluded and quiet area. It was far away from all the commotion and crowds that were found in the bustling and busy streets of the city centre, and was the best place they could think of to stay at, until Adam regained consciousness.
Wayde had a recovery pill with him, but before he fed it to Adam, he wanted his permission as there were cultivators that wouldn\'t eat pills and his situation wasn\'t dire, so there was no need to feed it to him while he was unconscious.
Adam\'s body was sore all over as his entire body was able to unleash power that way higher than that of what his body was capable of, through the Bloodlust characteristic, so all he could do was deal with the pain and wait for his body to recover.
Adam had intentionally lost consciousness as he could have continued to fight it he unleashed more of the power of the Bloodlust characteristic, but after seeing Cole\'s face, he was able to regain control of his mind and gave up all desire to fight or kill.
It was the only way that he could stop himself before he did something he couldn\'t take back and he was sure that his friends would protect him and his identity, so he didn\'t worry as he lost consciousness.
However unlike when others would lose their consciousness, Adam\'s consciousness would enter his mindscape and he was technically still conscious, but in another space.
He didn\'t know how it worked, but just like when he would lose consciousness when he would enter the dungeon, he was still conscious in his mindscape but his body in reality was unconscious.
Adam upon losing consciousness, in his mindscape, had a smile on his face after the exhilarating and enjoyable battle that he had.
He was proud that despite the gap in power and cultivation level, he was still able to win. However, he knew that it was all thanks to the extra stat points, the combat experience and the abilities that he gained through the Dungeon System, as without them, he would have been merely an ordinary rank 4 Novice Cultivator.
While in the mindscape, Adam didn\'t sit idly but also didn\'t enter the Dungeon, just in case something went wrong. It was an incredible thing to experience as he felt that he could see and sense everything that was happening around his body from outside his body.
It was as if his consciousness had fused with his spiritual sense, while he could also stay within his mindscape in some sort of astral form if he wanted to.
In the mindscape, he didn\'t have a body and it was completely dark, but he was still conscious in that space that Adam assumed was within his mind and called his mindscape.
It made it so that he didn\'t have to have his time when he was unconscious and also allowed him to sense what was happening around his body, so he was relatively safe.
Adam watched what happened in the arena for a while, and saw that Cole\'s father was killed, but didn\'t really care about William\'s life and was more worried about how Cole would deal with the loss of his father.
However, he decided to give Cole some space while he sorted out everything that was going on in his life, before talking to him about how he was feeling.
Adam didn\'t sit idly in his mindscape and began to replay how the battle went to memorise all the abilities he had seen during the battle from those on his team and the opposite team.
It was also the perfect opportunity to evaluate what he did well and badly during the battle, while also gaining inspiration from the others that were in the battle.
While Adam was learning from what had happened during the battle, Angela was doing the same and on the way to the motel, was also trying to replay as much as she could remember from the battle.
To be able to clearly and easily replay a memory was an incredible ability that was granted to Adam through the Hunter\'s mind and most others wouldn\'t be able to do the same.
Adam replayed the battle and couldn\'t help but feel proud of his display of power and combat prowess despite the few mistakes that he saw he made and was also impressed by Angela and Cole, who were able to unleash much more power than he had expected.
Wayde and Angela booked them a few rooms in the motel that was almost completely empty and upon entering the small and quite shabby room, they placed Adam on the bed and took off the mask that he was wearing.
"What should we do now?" asked Wayde, who was unsure how they should help Adam.
"All we can do is wait until he regains consciousness" answered Angela.
Adam had replayed the battle within his mind many times and learnt everything he could from it. Seeing that only Wyade and Angela were around his body from the mindscape and noticing that they were in a private room, he was sure that it was safe to get up.
[System, activate the forced awakening] instructed Adam.
Before Adam even had the chance to prepare himself for the forced awakening, that he knew would be very painful, he was suddenly bombarded by an extreme amount of pain as he felt himself return to his physical body.
From Wayde and Angela\'s perceptive, they were about to sit down on the two chairs in the room, before Adam suddenly sprung up out of the bed.
