Chapter 308: Chapter 308 - Continued Progression
And it didn't help when his strongest bodyguard/teacher almost beat him to death every day. But the only thing that was helping him sleep at night was the huge improvements he was having every single day.
Even though it was unnoticeable to the naked eye but if someone saw their spar every single day for hours, they would notice the slight difference that turns to a big one every day.
If one day William was having trouble attacking Adam at a specific spot because of his peculiarly strange moves, then the next day he would somehow notice it a tiny bit faster and connect.
If one day William was getting hit every time because of a weakness that he couldn't seem to control, then the next day that weakness of his will still be there but he would be able to control its compact so that it couldn't harm him.
If one day William can't do-… well you're getting where I am going with this so I'll stop. William had learned many moves with weapons then he ever knew was possible and even learned of some weapons that he didn't even know that existed.
And some he questioned why they existed when their uses were so dumb.
Just like that William was already a semi-master in many weapons and was good enough to defeat a master in their specific weapon specialists. His progression was going so smooth that nobody would think that he was having trouble in his mind worrying about one specific illegal club.
He had progressed so much that anyone who could see him would brand him a genius and the only reasons that he couldn't defeat Adam was because Adam was a Grandmaster in every single weapon there was, he was in a much higher level than William and also because of the experience he had gathered out in the field.
"BANG!"
A silhouette flew over and crash landed a few good meters on the white lighted floor below with a loud bang. The one who caused the damage quickly jumped and came close to that figure and before the one who was on the ground could retaliate Adam aimed his bow at his head and readied.
William who was on the ground panting, looked at Adam's figure above him and didn't think about trying to dodge it anymore as he could feel the killing intent from Adam's bow and knew he was serious. So he gave up and raised the white flag that Adam had given him before for an occasion like this.
Adam seeing the white flag, lowered his flag and gave his hands to William who pulled himself up. He then patted himself from all the dust he had gathered onto his body from being thrown away, punched and kicked to the ground.
This is how everyday ended for William after Adam had increased the training difficulty, before Adam would fight until he was sure that it was enough and stopping it after that. But now after the increased difficulty, Adam added a new rule that meant that the fight or 'Training' in his words, wouldn't end until William was ready to throw in the towel.
That was the reason why Adam had given William the white flag.
William asked why this method and Adam's only words were to make him humble… which made zero sense to William who still didn't know how strong he was nor was arrogant about it.
Adam looked at William who was taking a break and thought about the past few weeks. He thought about the first time he came when William's fighting skills were so bad that bad wasn't close to how bad it really was.
Now, a few weeks later and with the extreme training regime that he was quickly adapting to, Adam saw a boy who now is strong enough to thwart away many of his attacks and quickly counter them with the right move.
Adam being proud was nowhere what he truly felt, he felt great, even felt that he was the luckiest teacher alive to get a student like him. But even with so many proudness in him, he didn't show even a bit of it to William. He only showed a few smiles and nod which was enough to make William happy and contend.
He should have given him a pat or a hug for such great achievements but didn't want William to become arrogant and make huge mistakes that would impact his life forever. He didn't want William to become just like him.
Lonely, Painful, filled with sorrow… Adam didn't want any of these happening to him. So he was strict... almost too strict enough to never let William ever underestimate his opponent or mistreat someone weaker. He wanted William to always be wary of his opponent and cautious enough to never let them take advantage of him.
Adam shook his head out of his deep and dark thoughts and looked at the weapon in William's hand.
It was a spear that was encased in some black metal with yellow lighting stripes covering it. The spears black metallic components were very similar to the one Adam was using. His own sword, The Broken Heaven Sword had the same metallic surface that was on the spear.
He often wondered when fighting William whether this two was of the same origin or not but whenever he saw the yellow stripes he would give up that thought.
But whenever William would use that spear against him, it would always be able to sustain the damage from his own sword. And his sword was a legendary sword that was once the strongest there was but even after breaking, the swords themselves were still almost as durable as before.
"Where did you get it?"
"Hmm? What?" William asked as he took deep breaths before drinking down a whole bottle of water.
"I asked… where did you get that spear?"
"Ahh… this one." William raised his head as Adam nodded.
"Ahh…" William thought trying to make a good enough lie to satisfy Adam's curiosity, "I don't really remember. It was my grandfather that had found this old beauty. I only found it a few days ago when I rechecked my inventory."
"To think this great beauty was locked up in some storage ring by my grandfather… had other great things there too." William lied through his teeth as Adam nodded.
"Hmm… Is he reachable?"
"Who? My Grandfather?" William asked.
Adam nodded.
"No no… he's been dead for a long time. Otherwise you would have seen him trying to kill me for touching his most prized possession." He gave an awkward laugh.
"Oh! That's bad… I would have asked him some question about the spear."
"Questions?" What kind?" William asked as he became defensive.
"I wanted to know where he got the spear, it's very much similar to mine." Discover more content at m,v l'e-NovelBin.net
"Hehe… yeah it very much looks like that because of its color right but it's clearly not… it's just a different weapon with a different origin." William said and looked at the spear in his hands.
