Chapter 234 - Chase's Progress Part 2
The whole point of a concealing technique was to conceal the fact that one was a cultivator and their cultivation level from those that were able to sense that they were a cultivator.
Yet Adam was able to easily find out that Chase was using a concealing technique, which shocked him as he had read in the technique that at the level of mastery of the technique that he was at, even Advanced Cultivators wouldn't be able to see through it.
If Adam were a normal cultivator that would be the case, but with his Status Peering Feature that was guaranteed to work on those below the Advanced Cultivation Level, which Adam was sure Cole was, he was able to sense that his spiritual sense was blocked.
"Yes, it was a concealing technique that allows me to hide the energy present in my body by becoming one with the energy around me. It requires me to reach a zen-like meditative state and I need to maintain that mental and physical state to hide my cultivation level and even hide the fact that I am a cultivator" informed him Chase.
Being a monk was much better than Adam could even imagine and had many advantages.
"Monks that most people think of are religious people that are living under vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, but that isn't the case with you. It must be that you gained the Monk Inheritance of some sort of Chinese ancient monk that aimed to cultivate their mind and body to a peak invulnerable state" gathered Adam.
"I will reach that state and with the hardening ability that I gained, I will become invincible. As soon as I gained the Monk Inheritance I felt as though I could make the outside of my body harder and it is a sensation and feeling that is very hard to explain. You won't understand it unless you experience it, but at the time I wasn't shocked. After that, I felt the tower appear within my mind and the rest was history" stated Chase.
Adam smiled and was pleased by Chase's ambition and honesty and Chase was also happy as Adam still treated him the same and didn't once ask him for anything from the Monk Inheritance.
They spoke for a while longer and Chase told him how he had also researched on the computer for a few hours over the past few days and it was clear that he was becoming more aware and normal.
It was becoming easier for Adam to speak to Chase like a peer rather than a child, but he still had the same annoying habits such as calling Adam 'big bro' and sometimes not understanding jokes or sarcasm.
"Wanna go out for a bit?" asked Adam who wanted to visit Elizabeth and see how everything was going for her.
"Yes, your aunt is out anyway and I would like to take a break from cultivating"
The two of them prepared themselves to leave and before they headed over to the Auction House, Adam purchased a second motorcycle helmet for Chase.
It wasn't because he was worried about Chase's safety, but it was because he didn't have the time or patience to deal with police and had also made sure to put in the brown contact lenses that he hadn't worn in a while.
His red eyes were too distinct and he needed to make sure that they couldn't be used to identify him as Adam had caught the eye of many and also made quite a few enemies, so he needed to be careful.
The masked and hooded figure was wanted by the police and the Lin Family who both wanted to capture and or get rid of him, while the Evil Organisation that was in the shadows had also noticed him and were interested in who he was and what he was capable of.
Despite Adam ruining their plan with the great elder, the Evil Organisation weren't out to harm or get Adam yet and wanted to watch what else he was capable of before scouting him and other talented youths to join them.
Adam, using the motorcycle that Elizabeth had gotten made for him, began driving towards the Auction House with Chase sat behind him and holding on.
It was quite uncomfortable and unusual for Adam to drive the motorcycle with a passenger, but Adam quickly got used to it while Chase enjoyed the ride that was the first time that he had been on a motorcycle.
"Lady Elizabeth, Adam is finally using the motorcycle and it seems that he is coming our way" alerted Jaspal who using the tracker placed on the motorcycle knew where Adam was.
"It has been a while and I also need to talk to him, but before he arrives, prepare some guns. We won't be able to defeat him in combat, but if we are prepared from before and have guns, we should still be able to take him down if we needed to" instructed Elizabeth.
Her instructions shocked Jaspal, but also impressed him as he knew exactly why she had become wary of Adam and agreed with her decision.
The news of what had happened in the Epstein Family Arena had spread to most cultivation organisations and families in New York despite the Epstein Family's attempts to suppress the information leak.
With that news came the story of the masked and hooded figure that had red eyes who was able to defeat Mason and was the main fighter in the battle.
Upon hearing the news, Elizabeth instantly knew that it was Adam as nobody else fit that description and knowing that he had weird abilities and was very capable, she had no doubt in her mind.
That was what Adam was worried would happen, but he didn't regret helping Angela and Cole as it was something that benefited his friends and himself.
However, knowing Elizabeth's hatred for the great cultivation families of New York, Adam knew that there would be some conflict with his alliances.
