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

Adam was shocked by Marco's great speed that surpassed even his, which was impressive considering how large and heavy his body must be.

He also seemed very skilled and combat, while was also confident in his body's defence, which was understandable after seeing that even Rex's bite could barely pierce his skin.

As he reached Adam, he went straight in for a fist towards Adam's face, which Adam narrowly dodged, seeing the attack coming, but was shocked to suddenly be struck in the side by a rapid kick.

His flexibility, agility and speed were all incredible and with such a large, powerful and durable body, he appeared to be the perfect fighter.

Adam put his arms up just in time to block the kick, but there was enough force and power behind the attack to launch him flying backwards.

Shaking it off, Adam had managed to use his defensive techniques before the attack hit him, so he didn't suffer much, but he couldn't help but begin to take the fight seriously.

Focusing completely, Marco had Adam beaten in every single Physical Stat, while he also seemed to be much more experienced in combat and suited to the terrain.

Adam had no advantages so to speak and was also at a disadvantage, considering that Milo ultimately wanted him to lose and was likely to try to make sure that happened.

Despite that, backing down was something that Adam would never do and he also felt as though there was no need for him to use his Devouring Death Daggers, his Bloodlust Characteristic or his Unique Collector Skill.

He wanted to make it a fair, challenging and interesting fight that he could develop and learn from, while Marco was also someone he wanted to recruit, so killing him or severely injuring him wouldn't do him any good and went against what he had agreed on with him.

"You are not bad, kid, managing to block my attack and not suffer any damage from it,"

"I was about to say the same thing to you. You are such a big oaf, and yet you are quite skilled,"

Both of them were enjoying the battle and just getting started as they launched themselves towards each other a second time and clashed mid-air.

Taking his attacks head-on would be stupid and would require Adam to use much more energy and effort than Marco, weakening him, so instead, Adam was trying to evade most of his attacks.

While doing so, he needed to land attacks of his own and Rex and Milo who were watching, would never have thought that Marco was supposedly much more powerful than Adam.

It seemed to be a relatively even fight, but it was clear that Marco was slowly, but steadily, gaining the upper hand.

Unleashing a flurry of fists towards Marco's stomach, they barely even hurt him, and with a single fist from Marco, Adam would be launched sliding back.

[Damn it. Unlike Chase, this guy's entire body appears to be trained. He also has much more muscle mass, so it feels almost impossible to damage him internally] thought Adam to himself as he somersaulted backwards to avoid Marco's next attack.

Adam had been trying to find any patterns in Marco's attacks and find any weaknesses, but Marco was seemingly too skilled and experienced and he seemed to be fighting without any form or battle style.

It was almost as if he was fighting without thinking, making it so that predicting his moves beforehand were almost impossible.

Matched with his ultimate defence, he was a very difficult opponent, with Adam only managing to keep up with him because of his great power and combat prowess.

One disadvantage of Marco's large figure, and bustling muscles was that he would unknowingly telegraph his attacks and Adam would be able to see the small contractions in his muscles and gauge how Marco was going to attack next.

But with Marco's speed, flexibility and range of different attacks, it still wasn't enough to gain the upper hand and within a matter of minutes, Adam was completely on the defensive.

"You were so confident before kid. Where did all that confidence go?" he bellowed as he launched Adam into the air, before jumping up to meet him in the air, then slam him downwards onto the ground.

Adam's was struck down with such force that he formed a crater where he landed and barely managed to move in time to dodge Marco's next attack.

Wiping some blood that was leaking from his mouth after the impact, Adam was still calm and confident and was beginning to understand how Marco fought.

He was like a mirror, and anything you threw at him would be reflected back at you.

His body's powerful defence allowed him to sustain powerful attacks without suffering any damage and the energy and force behind such attacks would then be reflected by him through his own attacks.

Meaning if Adam weren't to attack him, his attacks wouldn't be the formless attacks that were difficult to dodge, but his own attacks that were powerful, but not as difficult to handle.

Standing there, Adam had a smile on his face and Marco was surprised and impressed to see that Adam wasn't charging towards him and trying to attack him like he previously was.

"It seems as though you have figured it out. My Reflection Style. Most are unable to, while those that do, usually realise it when it is too late. However don't get it twisted, that isn't the limit to my capabilities," said Marco as he charged towards Adam.

Marco was still a skilled fighter even without using that ability to his advantage, but he didn't know about all the things that Adam had hidden within his arsenal of abilities.

Suddenly using the Step Skip Skill, Adam instantaneously appeared behind Marco and even Milo, who was much more powerful than Adam, couldn't track his movements or how he was able to disappear and appear behind Milo in the link of an eye.

"Time to turn the tides of this battle," said Adam as he struck Marco's back with his fist.

A normal fist strike against Marco's body would have minimal effects, however, Adam's punch seemed to be unusual and had more to it than an ordinary punch.
