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

The dynamic duo, Cole and Angela despite having different elemental affinities, were able to enhance the power of each other's attacks and fend off against Martha and Damian, showing exactly how an elemental affinity could cover large gaps in terms of cultivation level.

Meanwhile, Adam and Mason both clashed fists in mid-air, but Mason's strength and explosive power were too much higher than Adam's, causing Adam to be launched crashing into the side of the arena a second time.

"Your power is incredible, but for what your father did to my bro, this will be where you die" declared Adam as he got up and wiped the blood that leaked from his mouth.

His arm was almost broken from the impact and he could feel that the muscles in his right arm had been torn from the clash, but all the pain was numbed and overwhelmed by his Bloodlust characteristic that continued to take more and more control over his mind and body.

Forming a small explosion beneath his feet out of flames, Mason launched himself towards Adam who was slowly getting up, clearly damaged by the impact.

Just as Mason was about to kick Adam's head with a kick that was powerful enough to instantly kill him, Adam suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

When the gap in cultivation level and raw power was so large, it needed to be made up for with skill and special abilities. Luckily Adam had both of those things and smiled slightly as the attack neared his head.

Mason was expecting Adam to use that weird teleportation ability and appear behind him, so released a burst of fire from his back. However, unlike the previous times that Adam had used the Step Skip Unique Skill, he didn't use it to appear behind him, which he knew had become obvious to read.

He had intentionally used the Step Skip Unique Skill to always appear behind his opponents to make it seem as though he could only appear behind his opponents, allowing him to still have the element of surprise and be a few steps ahead of his opponent's thought process.

"My attacks aren't that easy to read" scoffed Adam who brutally slashed Mason's side with his daggers after appearing by his side instead of behind him.

Mason had expended large amounts of energy through the technique that he had used and attacks that he had previously unleashed on Adam, and without any time to react, was slashed deeply by Adam's attack.

"This battle will end soon and your death will be served to you soon" declared Adam. 

Cole and Angela were using their full power and although their battle wasn't as intense and frightening as Mason's and Adam's, it was an incredible sight to behold. 

Martha and Damian were extremely skilled in close combat and the use of their weapons. They used all kinds of skills and techniques and together, they would have been able to defeat an average early Advanced Cultivator. Their teamwork was great and matched with their power and skill they were an incredible duo, but still couldn't handle the power of two powerful elemental affinities.

Cole and Angela supported each other and covered each other's weaknesses as they began pushing back and dominating their opponents.

It wasn't looking good for Mason's team and the great elder was on the edge of his seat. His hate for Cole and his companions continued to increase, but the elders around the arena were keeping a close eye on him and he knew that it would be very hard for him to intervene if he wanted to.

However, it wasn't over until it was over and he was still hoping for some sort of miracle.

Adam's attack was deep and also struck Mason's ribs, but the battle wasn't over until the opponent was no longer able to battle and Adam didn't stop there.

After spilling blood, Adam couldn't hold himself back and began to bombard Mason with dagger attacks.

Mason was unable to block or move under the constant onslaught of powerful attacks and his body felt sluggish and heavy under Adam's killing intent that continued to soar along with his Bloodlust.

Seeing Mason being slashed into shreds by Adam, Damian and Martha began to lose hope, and in that moment of hesitation and thought, Angela and Cole were able to take them down and deal them blows that they wouldn't be able to recover from in a short while.

"Your lack of drive and your negative intentions were your downfall" stated Cole as he took down Martha and Damian soon after with the help of Angela.

Cole and Angela had suffered a few heavy injuries and it was the first time that Angela had felt that much pain, but compared to what their opponents had suffered, they were relatively fine.

Cole had a proud smile and Angela was the same as they both felt fulfilled, but looking over at Adam who was slashing Mason apart and had a thick killing intent around him, they knew they needed to stop him.

"I got this Angela, stay back" stated Cole as he flew over to Adam, using his wind elemental affinity to display incredible speed.

The elders that were sustaining the barrier were yet to take it down and the great elder was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth, clearly finding it hard to see everything he worked for slip out of his hands.

He didn't care for Mason as a person or because he was his son, but merely saw him as a tool to get the power, influence and resources that he had coveted from the previous family heads. 

Mason who had collapsed to the ground was losing blood rapidly and would probably die with all the wounds that Adam had dealt him. However, Adam showed no signs of stopping and continued to slice him apart, becoming consumed by his Bloodlust.

"Step back" ordered Cole as he swung a gust of wind to push Adam off and away from Mason.

"You are going to kill him if you do not stop" warned Cole, who could see that Adam wasn't thinking straight.
