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

Cole stood opposite Adam in the sparring room and eagerly awaited Adam's instruction.

Adam had been busy that entire day and went from recovering his energy storages and body, to training another one of the leaders, but he was still eager to continue guiding and improving them.

With his own observations and the assistance of Ava, he was truly impressed and amazed by how much room they all had to improve, and Cole was no less than the others.

He had no idea what to expect from his training, but seeing the progress that the others had made after his training, he couldn't help but be excited about whatever was to come.

"First off, I want to let you know something that you may not have realised, but is very obvious from your progress rate. Your Wind Elemental Affinity doesn't define you and you also have other capabilities, while your talent grading also isn't at the E:1 grade. The talent gradings that are measured by the families in this city are very limited, restricted and undeveloped compared to what I have seen, and they are also unable to truly understand or identify your potential and talent," stated Adam.

Hearing that, Cole was amazed and couldn't help but wonder what exactly Adam had seen and experienced to come to such a conclusion, but also felt more confident and proud of his potential and capabilities.

"However, don't become arrogant or let this inflate your head. Talent grading doesn't mean anything, and you will struggle to keep up with the others after I set them on the path to success. One's potential cannot be summarised using mere numbers and cultivation is always about surpassing one's limits, so don't feel as though you have an advantage. " 

As Adam said that, Cole's attitude and expression completely changed from one that was happy and proud, to being serious and determined to train.

"So what can I do to get stronger? I don't want to be left behind, and just like you said, I feel like I still have potential to improve and aren't being limited by my talent, but I still feel like I have more space to improve."

Cole seemed desperate to become more powerful and, out of all the leaders, his hatred and desire to take down the Blood Moon Group was the clearest.

"Calm down. I cannot give you powers out of thin air and can merely help you draw out your full potential or any hidden capabilities. Currently, I am impressed with your versatility and speed, but it still won't be enough to take down the other leaders after I helped them unlock their true potential."

Cole took a deep breath and could tell that everything Adam said was the truth, as he awaited what Adam could help him improve on.

"If you truly want to become powerful and have the slightest chance in a battle against the Blood Moon Group, improving your cultivation isn't enough. We were at a similar cultivation level, and yet I could take on multiple opponents at higher cultivation levels than me with ease, and could take down hundreds of cultivators at the same cultivation level as me. I want all of you to not only improve in terms of cultivation level, but as an individual and become capable of any feat"

"This means that wild and intense training can only take you so far, and I need you to focus with me here if you truly want to benefit from this session. You are just like Wayde and Chase. There is nothing I can do to your body to help you improve, like with Elizabeth and Angela. I can merely give you advice that will help you to realise what you are truly capable of"

With that, Cole cleared his mind and was no longer seeing Adam as his friend or peer, but as his master, that was passing on his teachings.

"I need you to think back to how exactly your body feels as a whole and reacts to your surroundings while you use Wind Energy. I also want you to stop restricting your mind and capabilities to merely the air around you and think of everything around you as being made of particles"

Cole did as Adam instructed and thought back to what his body would feel like while wielding Wind Energy.

Adam could tell him directly what exactly Cole could do that he was yet to realise, but it would be much more beneficial for him to figure it out himself.

Cole was unable to see what Adam was trying to show him and needed more hints to understand what Adam was trying to reveal to him.

"Vibrations, frequencies and particles. Think about these things as you activate your Wind Elemental Affinity and focus on your body, but also your surroundings. Use your basic understanding of modern science, along with your understanding of energy and your body. " 

Adam's hint made something click in Cole's mind, and he felt something that should have been so obvious to him had suddenly been revealed to him.

"My body vibrates at a frequency, just like every other body because we are all made up of innumerable particles, atoms and cells. But it is deeper than that, as we are vibrating in harmony with the surrounding energy, while I seem to be able to control the frequency of my body's vibrations," exclaimed Cole.

His realisation completely changed how he thought about everything around him, his own body, and his affinity.

What he said actually made Adam realise something that he hadn't thought about.

Just like he had said, human bodies would vibrate slightly differently according to the surrounding energy they were born in.

Adam had realised that when facing negative creatures in the dungeon, that gave off a distinct feeling, and it should also be the same for those from other Mortal Realms and planets, which gave Adam another way to identify foreign creatures.

With that, Adam smiled and instantly formed another detection skill, and observed Cole be enlightened and come to many realisations.
