Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

The situation had spiraled out of his control. Whether it was the growing hostility from the surrounding children or the arrival of that elder, the whole situation could only be described as disastrous!

Caught in this pincer movement, a calm mind immediately decided to seize the opportunity and turn disaster into opportunity.

If he could win over this angry elder to his side, his support would be greatly enhanced.

"Hehe, it seems you're quite confident about this!" The elder was about to give the boy a good lesson when he remembered everything he knew about William.

The kid's behavior so far has been completely illogical, only reminding him of himself. So, after thinking for a while, he decided to give it a try.

What would he lose if he let the other person freely express their thoughts? William couldn't even take a step before he died at his hands.

A bronze-colored Soul Master versus a dark gold-colored Soul Master? Even considering this idea is a joke.

"Alright, then tell me what you want to say." The Fourth Elder completely relieved William of the suffocating pressure. "But if you talk nonsense, death is all that awaits you."

“Fourth Elder…he…” Upon hearing the Fourth Elder’s words, Belle’s body trembled violently.

“Berry, I know you have many reasons to care about him. But helping the family doesn't give anyone the right to speak so viciously against us. When he speaks like that, he's digging his own grave. ...He should have shut up and not said such things.”

“Even if your grandfather were here, he would say the same thing to me.” The Fourth Elder easily guessed what Berry was thinking. Upon hearing this, Berry could only shut up.

She glanced at William furtively, wondering how the situation had escalated from helping her family and being recognized to being threatened with being killed on the spot.

She had only one hope: that her grandfather might be nearby. She knew that the only person who could stop the Fourth Elder was her grandfather, just as he had done to her father before.

But they were already far from the wall.

Even if she wanted to send something to inform her grandfather, it wouldn't work. No one was willing to do such a thing for her and William. Besides, if she went to find her grandfather herself, it would take too long, and William was already dead.

So she could only sigh inwardly, hoping William knew what she was doing.

The Fourth Elder was waiting for William to speak. If William said anything foolish, he would be killed on the spot. In his eyes, there was no room for mercy for such a rude Soul Master.

William was completely unaware of all this, and looked at the Fourth Elder without a trace of fear or hesitation.

To everyone's surprise, William simply turned to the side, grabbed a thin piece of wood from the ground nearby, and used it as a stick.

Without saying a word, he started drawing on the ground.

This is a sketch of a large, semi-circular space. After he finished drawing this circle, he started talking and didn't stop childishly drawing more shapes.

“This area can be considered the northern part of the clan’s territory,” he said, drawing a small circle at the bottom of the crescent-shaped line he had drawn earlier.

When comparing the two side by side, one must notice how significant the size difference is between them.

"If I'm not mistaken, your family will probably use a demon-piercing array to resist this demon tide, right?" William drew several vertical lines from the circle he had drawn earlier. And these lines all pointed in the direction of the crescent moon.

However, they all stopped about a fifth of the way across the finish line.

"How...how did you know about this formation?!" The Fourth Elder's voice was filled with surprise: "But that's not enough to prove anything."

“I haven’t finished speaking yet.” William didn’t even bother to look up and talk to the Fourth Elder. Instead, he drew a few small circles pierced by lines.

"This formation is indeed quite good, enough to withstand any burst of attacks from monsters below level two. So, it should also be able to deal with bursts of attacks from level three monsters, right?"

"That's logic, not your nonsense, hmph!"

"Then may I ask the elder... the function of this formation is to dissipate the user's soul power and form giant spears made of energy. These spears are extremely sharp and sturdy; as long as the soul power continues, it's enough to continuously kill monsters." "Escape the Soul Master's body?"

“Yes.” This time, the Fourth Elder did not show any surprise, because such a young man actually knew such complicated things, and knew them in such detail.

He found a simple answer to all of this: the master William imagined. For a child like William, understanding such knowledge was impossible. But for his master, it was like a childish game.

In the eyes of the Fourth Elder, William had the privilege of witnessing his master describe such a formation, and even saw her teach others to use it.

"To sense the monster's approach from afar, the family must have established a sensing array around the clan." William didn't return to the issue of the offensive array, but instead drew a larger circle, extending all the way to the end of the offensive line. And...

"this…"

“You don’t need to confirm my words; I know this is one of the family’s deepest secrets. I’m just stating a fact,” William shrugged. “But doesn’t that also mean the family’s perception is limited to this?”
