Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

In his eyes, William would become one of the strongest warriors in the academy within the next ten or twenty years. He also knew that his son hadn't died suddenly. Therefore, he had many opportunities to entrust his disobedient grandson to William's care.

“Oh, how could this be?” As William began to ponder the principal’s hints, he had already guessed a thing or two. He had done something for Berry, and there was also what had happened in the forging department.

"The master blacksmith's affection for you is so great that if someone touches you, it's as if they're touching themselves! Do you believe that?"

The principal said this with a laugh, dismissing the matter with disdain. William had expected a long interrogation, but all he got was laughter.

The principal did not raise Berry's question either.

"I... I only forged a few arrows there." He honestly admitted this, without delving into too many details.

He was certain that the old man knew everything he had done in the forging department, and might even know every word he had said there.

But William won't offer an explanation unless the principal asks.

"You used these to detect this toxin?" The principal's eyes flashed. "Could I have some?"

“Of course.” William knew the principal would have to be wary of this toxin in the future. After all, his inner circle had already been infiltrated by dark soul masters.

William didn't know what the old man wanted to do to such a traitor. But without blinking, he casually handed him a stack of one hundred arrows.

“They are indeed very powerful…” The sect leader could immediately assess their value just by holding them. “They are quite powerful and can kill any ordinary silver-level monster… no, they can even injure a gold-level monster.”

“Indeed,” William did not conceal the fact that his arrows were deadly.

"Great, now you have a small problem to solve."

"what is the problem?"

"The Long Clan," the sect leader gave him a serious and profound look, "that old fellow is taking care of you. He wants you to go to the Long Clan's headquarters immediately. There can be no delay."

“Berry’s grandfather?” William had heard some stories about this crazy and powerful Soul Master in his previous life. He had heard that only the principal of the entire academy could stop this guy.

"But... I just came back from a long journey outside, and I want to rest well. I also want to register as a disciple at the academy."

“Leave the registration and enrollment to my people,” the principal waved his hand. “But it will take at least a few days, after all, you’re moving out of that wretched place.”

William wanted to say that this run-down place was assigned to him by the academy led by that old man. But he dared not say it aloud, for fear of angering the old man.

William knew that people in high positions were often short-tempered. Therefore, he was better off avoiding unnecessary trouble for himself.

“A few days…” William fell into thought. He knew that moving would take time, but he never expected it would take several days.

His place was so small and cramped that he and his two girls could not live there properly.

Moreover, he wanted to do many things during this well-deserved rest period.

He wanted to talk to the two girls about the secrets and things they knew about Dark Soul Masters. He also wanted to see what was special about his ring.

In such a dilapidated shack, it's impossible to discuss such things. If he did, anyone could eavesdrop and hear what the two girls would say.

Finally, there was his technical skill issue. He wanted to hone his skills through his experiences in the forest and at the academy.

He is not safe! At any moment, he will find himself forced to fight an even more powerful enemy.

His soul was not yet ready to be used. Therefore, he could only use his extensive technical knowledge.

He possesses a gold-grade sword as his primary weapon. Furthermore, he is knowledgeable in many sword-related combat techniques.

But to practice such a technique, he needs a spacious place, preferably one that is his own. Practicing his skills in front of enemies is not a good idea.

Going back to his small town was impossible. And encountering such a terrible person, it was also impossible not to rest for even a day.

"If you'd like, you can stay here for the night," the principal suddenly said. "It's spacious, and there aren't many people staying here."

William gave the headmaster a deep look. To him, all his thoughts and doubts were being read by this old fox, like an open book. This was definitely not a good thing.

“Of course,” William said, “but not for one night. How about I stay here for three days?”

“You need to understand that in three days, you will be going to the Long family.” The principal looked earnestly into William’s eyes. “After you come back, you won’t be staying here anymore, understand?”

William knew the principal was telling him that this stay was only temporary. William had no objection to this.

In fact, he didn't like being watched by such a powerful Soul Master. William knew that if the principal wanted to spy on him, he would never be able to stop such a terrifying Soul Master.

But he had no choice but to accept the offer. It was better than staying in his little place and being watched by everyone.
