'Adam's cultivation is lower than mine, his speed and power are also lower than mine, but his eyes are always glued onto me even when I move at my full speed. He has a weird ability that allows him to teleport it seems and he also has high level mastery over the two fundamental defensive techniques which allow him to massively enhance his body's defence' thought Cole to himself, analysing everything that he had seen from Adam at the first part of their battle.

'He seems to be skilled in boxing and using that against me, but he also seems confident and most likely has other abilities and skills that I need to be wary of' added Cole to himself, who was taking the battle seriously.

"Adam you are a worthy opponent and I apologise for underestimating you, but I will still win this battle" he declared as he walked towards Adam with a small tornado of wind forming around him.

"Since you want to get serious, we can do that," said Adam as he withdrew the two daggers that he had gotten off Angela previously that he had kept tucked into his trousers.

The tornado around him didn't seem to be one that he was planning on using to attack him, so to test it out, Adam used the Dual Slash Skill and flung two crossed blades of energy at Cole.

Unlike what Adam had expected, the blades of energy didn't even reach Cole and the tornado around him was so strong that the blades were knocked off course and hit different areas of the warehouse.

"With my Tornado Defence, I am invincible," said Cole, proud of the skill that he was using.

Cole had trained and practised the Tornado Defence Skill the most as it was the most useful and powerful skill that his mother and grandfather had left behind for him with his father. It not only created a powerful defence around him, but also allowed him to hover, fly and increased his speed.

However the skill was very draining both physically and mentally, so he had to win the battle quickly, otherwise, he would tire out.

"What a great skill" uttered Adam amazed by the small tornado that had formed around Cole, but what shocked him next was when he suddenly began to hover in the air and fly.

It required a lot of focus and great control to be able to do so, and wasn't the most energy-efficient way to fly using his Wind Elemental Affinity, but allowed him to do so, while protecting him.

While Cole hovered above the air and had a tornado around him that was defending him, he flung wind blades at Adam and spears formed of compressed air. All of his attacks were incredibly fast and if they landed on Adam, would pierce or slash Adam's body, dealing him heavy damage.

Adam was barely managing to evade the attacks and had been slashed by a few of the wind blades during the Step Skip Skill cool down, but he was sure that Cole wouldn't be able to keep it up for long.

Adam continued to dash around the warehouse and created as much distance from Cole as he could while trying to evade and block his attacks, but didn't attack Cole.

Since Cole wasn't actually hostile towards Adam, Adam couldn't see his status without using the Status Peering Feature, but he decided against doing so as it used quite a large amount of Internal Energy. However, without using it, he was sure that Cole was rapidly using his energy and wouldn't be able to hold out for much longer.

Cole was flying around the warehouse and was damaging Adam, but at the rate he was exhausting his energy, he would be tired out before Adam was taken down and he would lose.

"I give up," said Cole as he landed in the centre of the warehouse and deactivated the Tornado Defence Skill.

Cole really wanted to continue his battle with Adam, but he knew that there was no point and he would merely be wasting his time and wounding each other for no reason, since he had already lost.

Adam who had been evading all of Cole's ranged wind attacks was surprised by his sudden forfeit of their battle and suddenly appeared behind him and held his dagger to his neck.

The distance between them was larger than 10 steps, but Adam had managed to use the Dagger Jolt Skill, that allowed him to have a sudden burst of speed, and then used the Step Skip Skill afterwards to appear behind Cole.

"If this was a real battle, I had multiple opportunities to kill you," said Adam, who wanted to prove his point and teach Cole a lesson.

Moving his dagger from Cole's neck then tucking his two daggers back into his trousers, Adam took off his shirt to reveal his rippling muscles and chiselled body that was covered in deep slashes.

However what was surprising was that his body didn't have any scars, and Adam had found that the Ethereal Recovery Skill that he used was able to also recover and remove scars.

"Son are you okay?" asked William as he rushed over towards him.

"Relax father, it was merely a spar and he is clearly in worse shape than me" reassured him Cole.

"Cole, you are battling tomorrow and are fighting for the position of family head for the Epstein Family and also your life, yet right now I do not think you are ready. You are stronger than me and even more skilled than me when it comes to using energy, yet I could have killed you multiple times" said Adam bluntly.

Cole knew that what he said was right and was beginning to doubt himself, but that wasn't what Adam wanted.

"Listen Cole, I didn't say that to scare you. We will spar as many times as we can today and I will prepare you as well as I can for tomorrow's battle" reassured him Adam.
