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

"I hope we meet again," was the last thing the powerful old man had said before disappearing. Adam felt as though he could still feel his touch on his shoulder, and yet he had been able to move so swiftly and rapidly.

Adam was used to being the one that would be able to disappear suddenly with the overwhelming speed that he had when compared to those around him, but in this case, he couldn't even compete with that old man.

Just who the hell was he and what kind of position did he have in the Martial Arts Union?

All he had said that was that he was a key figure in the Martial Arts Union, but that could mean anything and the gap in power was too large for Adam to be comfortable with. It made him want to get back to training and facing powerful opponents in reality and in the dungeons to improve.

However, it also made him intrigued about the Martial Arts Union and its members, which he planned to pay a visit to in the near future. While he was also relieved that he hadn't pushed his luck and been too arrogant or confident during his exchange with the old man.

If he had gotten angry, being able to defend against him would have been almost impossible for him, which he knew. While the old man also didn't pry into his King Ring or how he was able to disappear by entering his Soul Form, which Adam was also relieved about.

If he had tried to force it out of him, things would have gone badly, while it also showed that he must have some special capabilities of his own, or had at least witnessed many himself.

"I guess when they say there is always someone much stronger than you, they aren't lying. But catching up to him and anyone else in this universe is only a matter of time," Adam mumbled to himself before jumping off the side of the building.

It was at least 30 stories high, and yet Adam had a calm and relaxed expression as he jumped off and felt the wind rushing against his face, along with his hair and clothes fluttering behind him like butterflies.

Not worried about being seen, since he was using his Stealth Ring's invisibility, he blitzed through the air with his Burst Movement Skill and made his way back to Liao Wei. 

Returning to his side, Adam couldn't help but have a glint of excitement and anticipation in his eyes, looking forward to heading to the Martial Arts Union. But for the time being, he just wanted to relax for at least a short while. 

"Liao Wei, take me to the best barber you know of in this region, and let's go get a haircut. You are meant to be my guide and assistant while I'm here, right?" Adam instructed him after appearing beside him. 

Liao Wei, despite forgetting that Adam merely wanted a haircut, quickly agreed to take Adam wherever he wanted and had a spot in mind, but then it dawned on him, he had so many subordinates that he had to face and instruct. 

After Adam healed his mother Liao Wei was more than willing to do anything that his mother's saviour wanted, and yet Adam then proceeded to protect him and hand over to him a powerful gang that ruled the region he lived in. Everything was so hard to believe and overwhelming for him, and he was never expecting to be so lucky. 

However, at the same time, despite being elated by what Adam had given him, he didn't feel worthy of being the boss of anyone and everything had happened so quickly that he was yet to have found what he wanted to do with his newfound power and whether he even wanted it. 

"Just calm down and take a deep breath. It might be overwhelming, but you can change your life, your mother's and that of everyone else in this region for the better. Whatever you think is the right thing to say or do, go for it. Trust yourself, and if you don't, trust that you won't be able to do anything wrong after you were bound to me, so there is no need to worry," Adam reassured him.

"Just act responsibly, wisely and genuinely. This is your time," he added as he patted Liao Wei's back and pushed him forward to face his new subordinates. 

Adam saw his old self in Liao Wei and if someone had done for him what he had done for Liao Wei, he would have endured much less hardship and suffering. People like Liao Wei, his people that were born into poverty or lived hard lives, yet suffered in silence, could be found everywhere. It is a sad thing to see and think about, but once one is able to make it through such things and overcome them, they will become a better and stronger person because of them. 

Now it was Liao Wei who was experiencing that for himself as he began to find himself and finally feel as though there was no weight on his chest, but that merely gave him the freedom he needed to help others and live a better life. 

Liao Wei's knees felt weak as his legs visibly shook, while the rest of his body wasn't faring any better under the pressure. And yet there was a power and fire in his eyes and voice that caught the attention of Adam and his new subordinates. 

"I am Liao Wei, your new leader. You previously lived lives you couldn't claim to be proud of and am I sure you all have your reasons for doing so. Even I, a weakling with no spine had to resort to petty crime, but now it is different. We have been unified and your tyrannical and cruel boss has been eliminated. So now we can live a life we can not only be proud of, but will be praised by all and this region, or home, will be guarded and improved by us," he declared.

His voice was shaky in the beginning and it was evident that he was nervous, but the more he spoke, the more confident and passionate his words became, while the people he spoke to couldn't help but become more engaged with his words.
