Both Angela and Cole agreed with Adam's plan and nodded their heads as they streamed large amounts of Internal Energy into their palms, ready to unleash an attack at any moment.

Meanwhile, Mason's team also created a formation of their own that had Damian and Martha at the front, with Mason providing support from a distance.

​​

Adam had to fend off against both Martha and Damian who were skilled close combat fighters that had trained in their weapon ever since they were young, and also had to be wary of Mason's ranged fire attacks.

However, with his enhanced reflexes and senses that had become very sharp and sensitive and his own abilities, along with the support of Cole and Angela, he was confident that he would be able to handle them.

Damian and Martha were able to overcome the pressure of the killing intent along with the others in the arena, as they dashed towards their three opponents.

Seeing them dash towards him, Adam smiled and knowing the negative intentions that they had towards him, he was more than happy to kill them without feeling any guilt, and it would also guarantee that Angela became the family head.

With his two daggers, he dashed towards them and it seemed that the speed of Martha and Damian was higher than that of Adam.

However, Adam wasn't worried about the gap in speed as he suddenly felt a gust of wind on his back that launched him forwards towards Martha and Damian.

With his two daggers, Adam activated the Dual Slash Skill and launched two energy blades towards Martha, who seemed to be the one that could deal the most damage out of his two close combat opponents. 

However, Damian jumped in the way of the attack and spun his staff at incredible speeds, forming some kind of shield and blocked the energy blades with his Staff Skill.

[What is that staff made of?] wondered Adam who was sure that his energy blades would have been able to slice through most metals with the power that he put behind it.

Suddenly a spear formed of fire was flung towards his and Adam was barely able to evade it as he felt a burning wave of heat and the side of his hood was scorched by it.

As he evaded the flame spear, he was suddenly slashed in the side by a rapid sword slash, then struck on the other side by a powerful staff blow.

However before the hits were completed, he activated the Step Skip Skill and avoided most of the damage of the blow.

It was an unexplainable and amazing experience to activate the Step Skip Unique Skill while being attacked, and within his mind, it was as though everything had frozen and had to step backwards to move from the attacks, then take a few steps to move behind his two opponents.

It all happened within an instant and before Martha and Damian could react, they were both slashed on their backs then received a wind and water attack each from Cole and Angela.

However, Mason saw Adam appearing behind his teammates coming and had already prepared a powerful attack to hit Adam with.

"Extreme Flame Beam" he roared as a beam of flames were fired from both his palms.

The large fire beam that was formed by both Mason's hands together and used a large amount of energy struck Adam on the back and launched him flying.

Adam couldn't dodge the attack as he wasn't fast enough and at the time was attacking Damian and Martha, and the Step Skip Skill had a one second cooldown, so there was nothing that he could do.

However, in the split second that he had before the fire beam hit his back, he was able to activate both his Fundamental Defensive Techniques to increase his resistance by 80 points, then deactivated it soon after to reserve his energy.

"Are you okay?" asked Angela worriedly, seeing Adam slam into the wall of the arena and the powerful attack that struck him on the back.

It was one of Mason's most powerful attacks, but Damian and Martha had also been damaged quite heavily and retreated back to Mason's side.

The battle was intense and everybody watching was amazed by the abilities and power that the youths were able to display, especially the manipulation of the different elements that the cultivators with elemental affinities were capable of.

However the winner of the battle wasn't clear and it seemed that Adam was carrying his team, so with him being injured, the crowd were unsure how Cole's team would fare.

Adam getting up with blood leaking from his mouth and a large deep burn on his back that had burnt most of the flesh on his back, didn't seem fazed by the injuries or pain in the slightest.

None of them could see his face, but his eyes were steady and calm as they were before, still filled with killing intent.

"Angela go back to your position and follow the plan" instructed Adam sternly in a hoarse voice just as she was about to come over to him.

Wayde and even Angela herself were surprised as Angela had never been seen worried about somebody else, but she knew that Adam was also fighting for her and didn't want to see him suffer any longer.

His killing intent and frightening red eyes only went to show how much he had been through and despite him being much weaker than her in terms of cultivation level, he was still the main fighter that was carrying their team.

"There is no need to worry, now that Damian and Martha have been injured, we can all engage in close to mid-range combat. Be careful and fight your hardest" decided Adam.

Hearing his decision, Cole and Angela headed to his side and the there of them prepared to take on Martha, Mason and Damian all at once.

"If this is how you fight, then I won't be holding back anymore" bellowed Mason as the power of his aura suddenly seemed to rise.

"We also won't hold back" stated Martha and Damian at the same time as they also unleashed their full power.
