While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System - Chapter 508

Whizzing past cars and people, barely leaving behind a blur and even cultivators wouldn’t be able to track him with their eyes as he jumped up into the air. Then springing off a building that he jumped onto, he bounced between two large buildings before using the Burst Movement Skill for the rest of the way.

Observing how fast, capable, agile and skilled Adam was, the powerful figure couldn’t help but be impressed and Adam had managed to reach him from across the region in less than a minute.

Even cars or motorcycles would struggle to cover the distance that Adam did in half an hour at their top speeds, as although Adam didn’t need to follow the roads and could jump over the buildings, he was still too quick to measure with ordinary standards.

Reaching the top of the building, Adam landed seamlessly and hadn’t even broken a sweat or appeared to be fatigued much despite just engaging in a battle and blitzing across a region at unbelievable speeds.

But thanks to his Devouring Death Daggers, recovering was as easy as slashing opponents, as, after his exchange with the Black Dragon Gang and its members, he had to admit he was quite drained.

Seeing an old man, Adam smiled to himself, thinking that it was cliche and to be expected that the powerful figure was a mysterious old man, but what did he expect. He was likely to be some sort of revered martial artist, but he didn’t seem to have any malicious intent and received Adam with an endearing expression.

It felt slightly forced, but it was clear that he was trying to be friendly.

“So, who are you old man?” asked Adam, who had stood opposite to the man for a few seconds and was waiting for him to speak. His tone and attitude weren’t rude and were respectful, but they certainly weren’t what the figure before him was used to.

Submitting to one that was superior and treating them with the utmost respect was the norm, but in this case, it seemed as though Adam either saw himself as someone on equal footing, or was just plain disrespectful.

Adam was obviously the former and knew that once he submitted, talking to the man before him would be more like begging and worshipping him.

While from the slightly surprised expression on the old man’s face, it was clear that he didn’t think that Adam spoke Chinese, which was why he had been hesitant to speak.

“I am from the Martial Art Union, which is this country’s coalition of cultivators and martial artists. As a key figure of the union, I came here to fulfil my duty of destroying the black dragon gang, but you intervened and did as you pleased before I could,” the man said.

There was nothing threatening about the old man, and he had a grand aura and kind nature that made one want to revere him, but his words were quite testing.

“I am sure that isn’t a problem,” Adam responded, in the same way, he had first spoken to the old man, not fazed or intimidated in the slightest by his position and the gap in power.

“No, it is exactly the opposite. I appreciate what you have done, and you have managed to solve the problem without damaging the city, and with only two casualties. While you also seemed to somehow be able to reform and control the cultivators left, and even handed over control to them to someone that isn’t even a cultivator,” he stated, seeming to be very grateful.

“It was an impressive display to observe, and I agree with your actions. Your self-proclaimed name ‘Death’ doesn’t suit you very much. Although your killing intent and killing capabilities are nothing to be scoffed at, you are just a young hot-headed cultivator who still has a long future ahead of them,” he continued.

Hearing his words, Adam relaxed slightly, and although trusting someone after a small exchange would be stupid, he always trusted his instincts and in this case, the man before him was not one that was against him.

Bowing down slightly, just enough to show respect, but not too much to make it seem as though he was afraid or beneath the old man, Adam said, “It was no big deal, I am glad I could help you,”

“But I didn’t do it for you, so there is no need to thank me and I also don’t want anything from you,” Adam stated, wanting to make it clear that the man wasn’t indebted to him.

The man was profound and powerful and laughed as he placed his hand on Adam’s shoulder.

He moved at the speed that a normal person would move at, while his hand was absent of all energy and there were no ill intentions emanating from him, so Adam didn’t move as the old man continued to laugh.

“I like your character. Tenacious, courageous and confident. And yet also quite cautious and intelligent. The type of character that would make one an interesting figure in our world of cultivation,”

As he said that, Adam just smiled and the old man kind of reminded him of his master. Thinking that to himself, he quickly removed that thought from his mind. This old man was much more gentle, kind and respectable.

But at the same time, Adam’s master was also like the father figure in his life that he didn’t have and they were incomparable.

“I know you didn’t want anything from me, but please take this amulet. It should be useful if you ever go to the Martial Arts Union and just think of it as a gift from me,” he said as he handed over a large blue amulet that Adam could barely hold in his hand.

Accepting it gratefully, knowing that it would be useful and that there was no point refusing it, the old man suddenly disappeared from before Adam, leaving Adam there with a stupefied expression.

How the hell could someone be that much faster than him and able to move so seamlessly?!
