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

"How do you plan on clearing this place up alone? What other weird abilities do you have?" asked Angela.

"And how the hell are you able to appear and disappear as you please? At first, I thought you were teleporting or able to move so fast that we couldn't see you, but you were able to hear everything we were saying, so maybe you can turn invisible" wondered Elizabeth.

"Well I can do that, but that isn't the case. Don't worry too much about my abilities, I am just a normal guy" answered Adam nonchalantly.

The revelation that he could become invisible and that he was able to disappear and appear beside people, while still being able to hear what they were saying, in a different way, completely shocked them.

Meanwhile, Adam appeared to be mentioning something normal and there wasn't much that could surprise Adam anymore.

"Just what kind of training did you go through and how the hell can one man accomplish so much in a single year and have so many secrets and abilities" they all exclaimed.

Adam was a normal average high schooler, then lived a hard life, struggling and working multiple jobs to pay his aunt's medical bills.

Who would have expected that he could become such a capable, mysterious and intimidating individual that had profound and unknown capabilities?

"Come on guys, stop ganging up on me. I could say the same for you guys, I was watching your battles and you all had many abilities and capabilities" refuted Adam.

What he said shocked them all greatly.

"You.... were watching our battle?" asked Angela with tears in her eyes.

"Yes I was and this was a needed experience for all of you to become more capable cultivators. You have all never experienced such a great battle of this scale and I believed that is was a chance for all of you to surpass your limits" answered Adam.

"You could have saved him" she wailed as she grabbed Adam's colour and felt tears flowing out of her eyes.

Her father had never treated her well or truly cared about her, only seeking his own gain and ways to use his daughter to increase his influence, however, her grandfather truly cared for her and always spoiled and made time for her.

Adam could tell that she clearly blamed him for the death of her grandfather, since he could have intervened earlier and saved him, however, he had no obligation to save any of them and she had nobody to blame but herself.

"He was old and dying anyway and I stopped the attack that was about to strike him. He died because he used his lifeforce in order to release a burst of speed and try to protect you and had also been burning his lifeforce while fighting the other cultivators. His age, cultivation and mind were unstable and his death was on the battlefield and one that he could be proud of. If you want to blame anyone you should blame your own weakness and death will come to everyone" stated Adam as he pushed her off him.

His words were harsh, but the truth and as they looked into his eyes, it was hard to see him as the same friend they knew a year before.

"It is good to cry and relieve your emotions, but don't allow it to cloud your mind and cultivation. Pain. Suffering, Death. These things are unavoidable and you must continue to endure and not allow anything to get in your way. Only that way can you truly become powerful. Hold onto your morals and humanity, but don't cling to mortality. There is a big difference."

Angela knew he was right and couldn't blame him even if he wanted to, as without him, the situation would have been much worse and she would most likely be dead.

And if it wasn't for him, the Maxwell Family was likely to have been destroyed by the Lin Family a year ago, and she wouldn't be the capable and mature woman that she was at that moment.

"Just what have you been through this past year to make you so cold? What is the cost of having such power and what are you going through?" asked Angela, who realised that he was the one that she should be worried about.

She hadn't seen him display any true emotion and his red eyes showed nothing but pain, suffering and death, just like he said would occur all around him.

He had never opened up and also took on his burdens and challenges along with that of all of those around him, and one thing they had all observed was that his willpower and pain tolerance were unbelievably high.

Although his body had no scars, all the wounds and pain that he must have experienced would drive anyone insane many times over and yet none of them truly knew much about him.

The truth behind his abilities, master, method of cultivation and so many other things that were unique and unusual about him were all unknown to them.

"You also have emotions and can talk to us if you need to and we are here to support you," said Cole.

Elizabeth and Chase felt as though it wasn't a conversation to get involved in as they saw Adam more as a master or leader figure than a friend, despite how casually and friendly he was around them.

While Wayde also didn't get involved as he felt as though he had lost most of his emotions years ago and he wasn't one to talk about carrying the burden alone, as that was something that he would also do.

"Are you guys worried about me? I'm touched" said Adam sarcastically with a smile.

The past year was one that helped Adam realise what he felt was important in life and also helped him become much more aware of his emotions and mental health.

He had overcome the emotional and mental challenges that came with being a cultivator and all the things he had experienced, so there was no need for him to revert to his previous, weak self.
