Chapter 311 - Battle Against The Beast Goblin King Part 2
Adam\'s idea was risky as he had never tried it before and he also only had a few seconds to plan, activate and successfully pull off his idea, which would take ordinary cultivators days, weeks, months or even years to do.
It was inspired by the Air Palm Strike that his master had taught him, along with how he had seen Mason and Cole use their elemental affinities in their battles.
Mason had used his Fire Elemental Affinity to release small bursts and explosions from his feet and other parts of his body that he wanted to propel forwards or attack with, while Cole would use his Wind Elemental Affinity to control the air for his movement in the air.
He didn\'t always use the air around himself to carry himself and floating in the air, as that would be very draining and difficult to maintain and sustain at Cole\'s level, but he would maintain constant streams of wind from the bottom of his palms and feet, similar to how the Air Palm Strike worked.
However, unlike the Air Palm Strike, Cole\'s stream of air was due to his affinity with the Wind Element and was also constant, unlike Adam\'s bursts of air that were due to the power of his palm strike and his Internal Energy.
Adam had so many ideas for skills and techniques that he could formulate with different elemental affinities and he had been stockpiling them within his mind for when he acquired elemental affinities, using what he had seen as inspiration for his ideas.
However, although he didn\'t have those elemental affinities yet, one of Adam\'s ideas came to mind while he was thinking of all the ways he could get out of the situation he was in unharmed.
It was only possible for his mind to be so clear and for him to be so calm and collected because of the Hunter\'s mind and Adam quickly formulated a way to carry out his idea.
Mid-air, Adam took off his shoes then suddenly, bursts of air were released out of his feet and Adam gained balance mid-air as he slowed his fall and landed on the ground softly.
Watching what had happened, the Goblin Beast\'s that were still on the edge of the Core Part of the Goblin Beast City were shocked and amazed along with the Beast Goblin King who was watching Adam through the top of the tower, expecting him to have crashed into the ground.
However, Adam himself was slightly disappointed with himself as he had only managed to release a copy of the Air Palm Strike from the bottom of his feet and wasn\'t able to release a constant stream of Internal Energy to mimic how Cole was able to fly.
But that was to be expected as he needed more time to perfect the skill and way to move that he was forming and since he didn\'t have a Fire Elemental Affinity that would allow him to create explosions, or a Wind Elemental Affinity that would allow him to control the wind and air around him, Adam was still quite happy with what he was able to accomplish with what he had.
[I haven\'t unlocked a skill from the system with this after gaining some basic mastery over this idea and creating the idea, but that is probably because the system cannot be accessed while on this special floor. But that is fine and I shouldn\'t rely on the system too much. This is the perfect chance to create my own movement skill without the assistance of the system or anybody else] thought Adam to himself as he began thinking about different ways to use his idea to increase its power.
While he did so, the Beast Goblin King jumped down from the top of the tower and let out a wild roar as it aimed to land on top of Adam and crush him with its strength and downwards momentum.
However just as the large beast was about to land on top of Adam and slash downwards on his body with the claws on its hands and feet, Adam suddenly burst away from that position with great speed and explosive power.
He had angled his feet upwards and to the side, so that the burst that he released out of the bottom of his bare foot would launch him in the opposite direction and slightly into the air as he flipped in the air to help regain balance and landed a dozen metres away from where the beast landed.
It caused a small crater with its landing and Adam couldn\'t help but be shocked and amazed by the strength and resistance of the Beast Goblin King\'s body as he confidently smiled.
Against such a fast and powerful beast, being able to move swiftly and rapidly was very important, and that was being made possible with the Movement Skill that Adam was formulating and perfecting by practising and using it against the powerful beast.
The limitations of the Unique Step Skip Skill was that it had a cool down time of one second, which was quite long for a battle between extremely fast and powerful cultivators, and that it could only be used if Adam had both his feet planted on the ground.
The skill was based on Adam taking steps forwards within his mind where time would be frozen, then he would appear at the end of the trail of steps, skipping the steps.
However, if he was in the air, he had nothing to step on and if he wanted ted to be a powerful, capable and prepared fighter, he needed to be able to fight any opponent and deal with every situation that came his way.
Because of that, he decided that he wouldn\'t use it against the Beast Goblin King and he could only use the movement skill he was formulating that he hadn\'t come up with a name for yet.
There were hundreds of beasts behind him in the Inner Part of the Goblin City and one large, powerful and wild beast before him, leaving Adam with no choice but to come out on top.
