Chapter 374 - Great Battle For New York
As soon as Shinka left after being scolded and accepting it maturely, her uncle smiled to himself and couldn't help but be happy.
"It seems that the heir to the clan that had the greatest potential we have ever seen, is finally on the right track to being or worthy leader and resurrecting or falling clan," he said to himself.
He also called her father to inform him of the changes in improvements in Shinka, but he couldn't believe that his daughter had changed so much in the matter of a few hours and was very sceptical about it.
However, he didn't have the chance to see the changes for himself with all the responsibilities and duties he had as a clan leader as well as a very high ranking individual in the death corps and underworld, so he left his daughter in the hands of his brother.
He requested him to look over her and make sure that she stays as she is and also starts making progress as she was starting to lag behind those that were her age in the underworld, which was shameful as a descendant of a Death God Clan and the most worthy heir.
But her uncle's intervention or assistance wasn't needed and Shinka seemed to have become a completely different person.
With that, Shinka was on the right path to becoming great and at that time, Adam was dashing as fast as his legs could carry him and even managed to run at speeds surpassing 500 mph.
The wind slammed upon his face and if it wasn't for Adam's very durable body that had become accustomed to moving at such speeds and training within the gravity chamber, his body wouldn't be able to handle the effects of moving at such speeds.
It was the first time that he moved as fast as he could in reality after his year of seclusion and it was already night, so there weren't many people outside, while none of them were even able to see Adam.
He moved so fast and used his Form Concealment and Stealth Ring while doing so to the point that even Advanced Cultivators may struggle to even sense him run past.
Along with that, he had activated his Mind Ring to clear his mind and assist his thought and mental speed even more than the Hunter's mind was already doing.
From how large scale the battle was and also the bad feeling that he had, Adam was able to figure out most of what was occurring without even arriving at where the battle was taking place.
The Lin Family was the clear enemy, but it wouldn't be able to stand against Adam's friends alone and it was clear to him that they would need to team up with the other two large cultivation families to take them down.
However, instead of seeing it as a bad thing, it was the perfect chance for Adam to unify the entirety of New York under the Sentinels Faction and eliminate anyone that wanted to go against him.
All he was hoping was that he made it in time and Adam didn't want to lose any of his friends that he trusted greatly and left all his responsibilities on.
[I am on my way, just hold out for a while longer]
Although he trusted his friends and was excited to see how much they had progressed, it was unlikely they would be able to win in such a battle as a year wouldn't be enough for them to gain enough power to surpass the Lin, Ford and Dale Family Heads.
Adam's thoughts and beliefs of what was occurring were all based on assumptions and estimations, however, such a large scale war needed a spark and the most likely spark was the death or weakening of the previous Maxwell Family Head.
That was the likely cause since Adam remembered that the Maxwell Family Head's cultivation seemed slightly unstable, most likely due to old age and forcibly trying to breakthrough.
It was also the likely spark to the war since he was the only cultivator that stood on his side that could be regarded as a threat to the Lin, Ford and Dale Family Heads, however, Adam believed that they were underestimating his friends.
Adam estimated it would take him half an hour to reach where the battle was taking place even at his top speed and if he took his motorcycle, it would take multiple times that length of time, which went to show just how fast he was moving.
If he was wearing ordinary clothes, they would have been all torn up by the winds that struck his body like whips as he dashed at great speeds, however, he wore clothing that his master left behind that were enhanced by some sort of enhancements.
It gave them great durability and also the capability to great rid of all moisture on Adam's body, including sweat and blood and the enchantments were very basic one's that his master was capable of.
It was another form of inscriptions and runes, arrays, enchantments and any other form out there were all very similar and interlinked, while Adam desired to study and master them all.
He had great talent in all forms of use of energy and also wanted to learn alchemy, which he would also be very proficient in due to his Fire Elemental Affinity, great perceptivity and impeccable energy control.
As he neared the battlefield, he switched to his Soul Form and still moved at a relatively equal speed, leaning forwards and using his Soul Power as a driving force for his Soul Form as he blitzed through the air.
He flew relatively close to the ground and began to see and sense what exactly was occurring as he completely hid his presence and reached the centre of the battlefield where a great battle was taking place.
There were a few hundred cultivators present and each of them were at least peak Novice Cultivators, with most of them being Advanced Cultivators, and Adam estimated that most of New York's cultivation power was present.
Although they were many more cultivators in New York, they weren't on a level where they could truly be regarded as capable cultivators and Adam was impressed by what he saw as he observed and waited for the right moment to intervene.
