While Others Cultivate, I LVL UP In My Sleep Using The Dungeon System
Chapter 316 - Spinning Spear StrikeWith his back against the wall of the Beast Goblin King's tower and the Beast Goblin King a few dozen metres away from him, Adam had a few seconds to activate the Killing Move that he had planned out within his mind.
The Beast Goblin King was surprised by Adam suddenly retreating and creating distance between them, causing it to hesitate for a moment, just like Adam had expected and hoped, then soon after, charged towards Adam at its full speed.
It believed that Adam was fatigued, which was partly true, and also believed that Adam was afraid and trying to find a way to retreat.
However, in actuality, Adam had been looking for different ways that he could successfully use his Killing Move against the Beast Goblin King and had never felt fear ever since integrating with the Dungeon System.
Being nervous, worried or intimidated could all be linked to fear, but to Adam being afraid or scared meant backing down to whatever was intimidating him, which he would never do.
He had an idea and rough plan of how to use and activate the Killing Move that he came up with, but to create a powerful Killing Move that suited their own style, cultivators would spend weeks and months doing so.
To be able to do so in the heat of battle while facing a superior opponent required one to be calm and collected, while also very smart and able to focus on two things at the same time.
Even without the system making it so that as soon as Adam gained basic mastery over a concept he gained a skill, Adam's perceptivity was abnormally high and learning and memorising new things had always been a strong suit of his.
The Hunter's Mind along with all the mental strain, pain and training that he had been through merely heightened and tempered those qualities, making him even more perceptive and mentally capable.
A few seconds was quite a long time for a cultivator at Adam's level, considering how fast they could move, but to use a skill for the first time that he had merely formulated within his mind without trying it out before, would need much more time than that.
However, Adam had no choice but to succeed as he began spinning the spear using both his hands as fast as he could.
It was spinning so fast that he was forming his own small current of wind as he began to infuse the two concepts of the Air Palm Strike into it, but he was falling to do so and he also wasn't spinning the spear fast enough.
He needed to spin the spear at least 3 times faster than he currently was and he was finding it hard to increase the spinning speed.
Adam had underestimated just how difficult it would be to do so and the Beast Goblin King was nearing him, but he stayed calm and instead of physically spinning it with his hands, spun it by causing small and continuous bursts in each of his palms.
The spear wasn't even touching his hands and was hovering a few centimetres away from each of his palms as it began to spin rapidly and cause the small wind current around it to pick up, which caused the spinning speed to pick up even more.
Adam's quick thinking and switching how he spun the spear gave him some hope, but he still only had a second before clashing with the Beast Goblin King and he still hadn't completed the hard part of the Killing Move.
If he stopped and turned back he would have wasted a lot of energy and missed a good opportunity to take down the beast while it charged towards him.
While if he continued, he risked failing and being taken down by the beast, as without successfully pulling off the skill, it would be nowhere near enough to take down the beast in a single strike.
Focusing completely on completing the activation of the skill, knowing that if he wasn't completely focused and hesitated, the skill would fail, Adam continued without any fear.
If he was to stop the skill mid activation, not only would he have wasted energy, he would also be launched flying backwards because of all the spinning force that he had gathered but hadn't put to use.
The Killing Move he came up with was a double-edged sword and if he wasn't able to thrust the power he was gathering forwards, it would damage him instead.
Adam didn't have enough time but couldn't stop the activation of the skill.
He managed to split his focus for an instant to cause a small burst beneath his feet and launch himself into the air and while in the air, Adam continued attempting to activate the Killing Move.
It seemed to be impossible to harmonise the concepts of the Air Palm Strike with the rapidly spinning spear in his hands and it was because the power of the Air Palm Strike that he was able to unleash was too weak to sync with the power and speed of the spinning spear.
Without hesitating, Adam began pouring in more power through the thing that he had that allowed him to surpass his limits as he needed to unleash more power to be able to pull off the Killing Move.
The Bloodlust Characteristic.
It was a key part in surpassing his limits by honing in on his strong desire to kill and had been a big help to him ever since he gained it, despite it previously being hard to control and contain.
"Don't let me down now" roared Adam as he continued pouring more and more energy into the Spinning Spear and the Air Palm Strike Skill concepts along with releasing more and more power of the Bloodlust Characteristic.
Adam was falling downwards in the air towards the Beast Goblin King with what seemed to be a small, red tornado in his hands that had a sharp tip and was aiming straight towards it, the Beast Goblin King instantly feared for its life, but it was too late.
