Chapter 127 - Growth Potential
Before Adam began testing out everything that he had gained, he wanted to recover his body to its peak state and relax for a short while.
After spending long amounts of time in the dungeon, it made Adam feel as though the body he was in, wasn't actually his, and he would need some time before he was physically functioning how he should be.
His soul would inhabit the Dungeon Form, but was still attached to and linked to his body in reality. The longer he spent in his Dungeon Form, the more strained the link would become and the more backlash and consequences he would suffer.
Luckily in his current case, it would only require him to spend some time circulating his energy and relaxing in his actual body, but if he wasn't careful, he might shatter the link with his own body and wouldn't have a real body to inhabit.
While using the Ethereal Recvoery Skill to recover his body to a peak state, Adam had something that he wanted to ask the system.
[System how do I increase the LVL of system features] asked Adam, who wasn't told by the system how to do so.
{To increase the LVL of system features, it requires the entire system's LVL to increase and will increase all the system's features in the process. To increase the system's LVL to LVL 2, it will require the host to break through into the Earth Mortal / Advanced Cultivation Level, and it will also require an amount of system points, that would depend on the amount of system features that the host has and the state that the host is in at that time} answered the system.
Adam decided not to think too far ahead as he had only become rank 4, which was not even half way through the Mortal / Novice Cultivation Level, and was more focused on testing out everything that he had gained.
One thing he did notice about all the skills, techniques and abilities that he gained from the system, was that all of them had growth potential and weren't restricted.
Currently, it seemed as though no matter how much his power and cultivation level increased, his skills, techniques and abilities would still be useful to him, as he could just increase the amount of energy that he used through them.
However that seemed unusual to him and Adam would have expected that skills and methods had limited capability and as one improved, they would need to learn skills and methods of higher quality.
{Skills, Unique Skills and System Features that the host acquires from the dungeon all have growth potential and some may have infinite growth potential, while others might have limited growth potential. However ordinary skills do no have the capacity to grow with the user and can only be improved and developed upon, which is very difficult to do, while Unique Skills can grow with the user to a certain point} informed him the system.
[Hmm, just as I had guessed. Now I have another advantage that the system has given me, and at this rate, I will never come across anybody that is worthy of me, in terms of talent and growth potential] thought Adam to himself proudly.
But he knew that when compared to the large families of New York, he was still quite weak, while cultivators around the world might even be stronger than that, so he knew not to be arrogant, even though he had the incredible and heaven-defying Dungeon System.
After Adam felt completely recovered and in his optimum state, he was excited to test out some of his new skills and things that he had learnt, on his master in a short battle.
However Adam knew that it would cause too much suspicion if he used his full power straight away and it wouldn't have been possible for him to instantly learn so many skills, so he decided that he would only use the power expected from that of an early rank 4 cultivator, which he was.
Getting up, Adam walked over to his master and while doing so, activated his Status Peering Feature.
He knew that it wouldn't show him his master's stats, as his master's cultivation level surpassed the Mortal / Novice Cultivation Level, but he wanted to try it out anyway and find out what would be revealed to him.
Bernard ???????
Status: Unknown
Cultivation Level: Unknown
Adam wasn't disappointed by what he saw much, as it was exactly what he had expected, at least he found out what his master's first name was.
But without a surname or any other information about his master, it was quite useless, as first name wasn't enough to investigate anything about somedbody, especially when you don't even know their age or where they are from.
"Master are you free to spar with me," asked Adam respectfully.
Adam wasn't pretending to be respectful in order to impress his master and genuinely respected and revered his master, who had assisted him massively, without asking much of him in return.
His master lay there clearly free to spar with Adam and it was clear to Adam that his master had nothing else to do, and yet his master still acted like he was busy and was doing Adam a favour.
"Alright then, I was going to do something else, but seeing as though you asked so nicely, I will spar with you for a short while. But just make sure to bring me more of those snacks the next time you leave" stated his master shamelessly as he slowly got up, with his old, short and overweight body.
Adam nodded his head and promised to bring his master more snacks, still staying respectful, despite seeing that his master was clearly lying.
It was still quite hard for Adam to believe that an old man with such a figure could move at speeds that were hard for him to keep up with, but Adam had learnt that everything was possible and to never judge somebody based on appearance, especially if they were a cultivator.
