Novel Bin Chapter 272 - Answers Part 1
"Master, I think it\'s time you finally answer my questions. I have proved myself to be loyal and trustworthy and even if I am not, you can still kill me" urged Adam.
"Well, I guess I don\'t have much time left anyway. The pill you gave me only delayed the inevitable and I won\'t be able to dodge death for much longer. You said you wanted to train for an entire year, and I should be able to hold out for that long, but after that, I think it would be best for me to let go of this life" stated his master after accepting that it was time to die ad let go of everything that was holding him down.
"I have prolonged my life for too long and I have no other option but to depart my legacy onto you. If you accept, from here on out you are my last and only disciple and I will be giving you a lot of knowledge and everything I have, but will also be placing a very heavy burden on your shoulders"
"I have many enemies and there are many things that you do not know about that might come after you once you accept this legacy of mine. I cannot promise you much, but I can give you my all, but..." said his master before Adam stopped him.
"I was planning to fulfil your wishes to repay you anyway. Your enemies are my enemies and anything that you weren\'t able to achieve or do in your life, that you wanted to do, I will do it on your behalf" declared Adam as he accepted his master\'s offer and bowed to him.
"Now then you stinky brat, why don\'t we have a little spar while we chat. I haven\'t been able to move my old bones in so long and it will be beneficial for me to have a little spar and circulate my energy" suggested the old man as he slowly got up.
"Sure" accepted Adam who was eager to find out just how capable he was and whether he would have a chance against his master after all the progress he had made.
Getting up, Adam was glad that he was able to get through to his master and was also glad that his master finally accepted him.
"Master, is there no way to extend your life any further?" asked Adam who didn\'t want his master to die without seeing everything that he was able to achieve in his name.
"I could live off pills, forbidden or evil methods, but I don\'t want to live any longer. After I am happy with what I have left behind in this world, which is you, I can die happily. You have helped me realise that I need to move on and for that I am grateful" answered his master who seemed to have come to terms with his ending life.
"If that is how you feel, I cannot force you to live, but I would want you to see everything that I do in the future," said Adam.
"I will be watching, but from above instead" replied his master with a smile.
However, that smile disappeared within an instant and so did he as he suddenly appeared behind Adam.
Adam. who had become much faster and had much sharper senses and reflexes, was able to turn quickly enough and block his master\'s kick to his side with his arm.
Despite blocking it with his arm, Adam was sent sliding to the side from the power of his master\'s kick and it seemed as though he was planning to hold back less.
"What is your relation to the large cultivation families of New York?" asked Adam as he rushed towards his master and held his arms up in a boxing stance.
His boxing mastery and hand to hand combat were very useful and Adam hadn\'t used them much since he would usually use a weapon, but against his master, he could practise and train all of his combat knowledge.
"I was once the master of the ancestors that formed the families and was the one that departed onto them cultivation methods. The ancestor of the Carlson Family was the one with the special constitution and was the most kind-hearted out of them that only wanted to heal others, but I guess that after I was backstabbed, they backstabbed him as well" answered the old man as he evaded all of Adam\'s rapid and accurate punches to his face.
"I guessed that it was something like that, but I thought that it was too unbelievable to be true, but it seems that I was wrong," said Adam as a blade of energy was flung towards him from his master\'s hand.
It was too fast to evade, so instead, Adam decided to use his Step Skip Unique Skill to appear behind his master, which shocked the old man who had never seen Adam use such an ability.
He couldn\'t help but be amazed by Adam\'s sudden movement and since he was faster than Adam, he could tell that Adam had somehow teleported and didn\'t actually move behind him.
However, despite Adam appearing behind him, his master was still faster than him and turned around and blocked Adam\'s punches to the back of his head.
"This is the first time I have forced you to block, but it will probably be the last for a while. Now that I have used this ability once, you won\'t underestimate me and also will use more of your power" said Adam who was pushed back by a sudden palm attack that launched a gust of wind towards him.
It wasn\'t an attack that used a Wind Elemental Affinity, but somehow used his energy to amplify the power of his attack and push the air towards him.
Adam was launched flying backwards, and despite blocking the attack wit his arms, was slammed through the wall of the dojo and into the forest.
"This battle is getting fun. Show me what you got Adam" said his master who dashed after him.
