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

After gaining the Step Skip Unique Skill and 20% mastery over it, just like with the Collector Skill, he felt as though he could use it with ease as if it had been something he had been doing his entire life.

The system wouldn't merely place the information on how to use it within his mind, but would also ingrain it into his body and subconscious, making it something that he could reflexively use and that he was comfortable using.

Considering Adam's height, his steps were about 30-40 inches depending on how much he was lunging forwards. Knowing that, Adam felt as though moving one step to the side using the Step Skip Skill was enough to dodge the wind blades that were blitzing towards him.

Each one of the wind blades were aimed at both his shoulders, which would not fatally wound him, but would restrict the movement of his arms and make it hard to dodge or block them both.

Adam didn't understand how it worked and it didn't make sense to him at all, just like the Collector Skill defied all logic, but he knew exactly how to use it and what the results would be after the system integrated it into his mind.

Just as the wind blades were about to strike him, Adam seemingly moved from where he was to the side, without moving at all. It was instant and to Cole, it was as though Adam had teleported. While William couldn't really tell what had happened as Cole and Adam were moving at speeds that were too fast for his eyes to track anyway.

"How did you do that?" asked Cole as he suddenly leapt into the air, controlling the air around him to enhance his speed.

"I don't know" answered Adam with a smile.

Cole struck towards from the air with a hammer fist strike, which Adam was able to dodge, then Adam counter-attacked with a swift and powerful hook to Cole's side.

Adam's strength was only slightly below that of Cole's resistance, and with Adam's speed and master level boxing technique that allowed him to use the full potential of his strength, the blow dealt him quite a lot of damage.

Cole felt winded by the blow and wasn't expecting Adam to be able to strike him since he was faster than him, but with a gust of wind, he launched himself backwards and created some distance between himself and Adam.

Despite the disparity in stats, Adam was clearly the superior fighter even though he was yet to use all of his abilities, however, Adam knew that Cole was only getting started and he also hadn't used all of his abilities.

"You're not bad Adam," said Cole, pleased by Adam's display of fighting ability.

"Same with you" replied Adam who was also pleased with Cole's fighting ability and excited to see what else he was capable of.

William who was watching from the sidelines didn't know how to react, and although initially, it seemed as though Adam was going to instantly lose their battle, he somehow regained control of the fight and pushed Cole back.

"So Adam, why don't you tell me what happened that time at the Auction House," said Cole as he dashed towards Adam.

"Oh yeah, I haven't told you about that yet" remembered Adam.

As they both clashed and attacked each other at incredible speeds, Adam was telling Cole everything that happened at speeds that were also too fast for William to understand.

Cole's speed continued to get faster and faster and Adam was surprised by the power of his Wind Elemental Affinity that was allowing him to continue to increase his speed using some sort of technique.

Adam, who was being bombarded with a flurry of fast attacks was on the defensive and activated both his Internal and External Fundamental Defensive Techniques which increased his resistance by 80 points, making it so that Cole's attacks were barely effective against him.

"That is the Energy Sleeve Technique right, along with the External Hardening Technique" observed Cole.

"But how come they enhanced you so much, that isn't possible?" asked Cole, who was baffled by the large increase in Adam's resistance.

Adam merely smiled and suddenly used the Step Skip Skill to suddenly appear behind Cole.

It was an incredible feeling for Adam and he could control some sort of phantom form within his mind and move to any location, then activate the Step Skip Skill and the steps that he took to the location within his mind would be skipped and he would instantly appear there.

Cole was confused as to where Adam suddenly disappeared to, but even with his superior speed, by the time he realised that Adam had appeared behind him, it was too late.

Adam launched a powerful kick at his back that launched Cole tumbling forwards and crashing into the side of the warehouse.

[This Step Skip Skill is amazing and along with my resistance techniques, make me feel invincible even against a stronger opponent] thought Adam to himself, in awe of how easy it was for him to dominate Cole in a battle despite that gap in cultivation level and Cole's elemental affinity.

[If I was using a weapon, I could have probably slit his throat when I appeared behind him and instantly won the battle. With this Unique Skill, I no longer have to worry much about gaps in cultivation levels as long as I have the element of surprise] thought Adam to himself as he realised how much easier it would be to deal with beasts in the dungeon.

"I don't know what that skill or ability of yours is, but it is incredible. However, it won't surprise me a second time and I won't let you land another strike on me" declared Cole as a small tornado began to form around him.

"So you are getting serious now. Show me what you got" bellowed Adam, who was excited to see more of Cole's abilities, as he dashed towards him.
