Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

"Headmaster, did you send someone to find me?" Just as William was pondering the true purpose of the headmaster's invitation, he saw the Soul Master who had guided him here earlier.

Yes!

"Take William and these two girls with you and have them move to the North Dormitory," the principal said calmly.

William noticed a slight change in Tang San's expression and bowed, saying:

“I will,” he said, then gestured for William and the two girls to follow him, before turning and walking away.

William bowed to the principal, and the other two girls followed suit. The three of them left the hall and followed Teacher Tang out.

“You know, once he gets to you, you can squeeze everything we want out of him.” Just a few minutes after William and the others left, the principal suddenly spoke up.

He was alone, yet he spoke in a certain direction. As soon as he spoke, a figure suddenly appeared in the same direction the principal was looking.

He was an old man. If William were here, he would immediately see the resemblance between him and Berry.

He is Berry's grandfather, the fearsome patriarch of the Long clan, Kong!

What William didn't know was that while he was chatting with the principal, the principal was communicating with the void through telepathy.

The two agreed to send William to the Dragon Clan's base and drain him dry.

But when William asked for a break, Kong suggested to the principal that he stay in the huge mansion.

The principal initially disagreed, but when Kong told him how beneficial it would be, he decided to follow the plan.

"This kid gives me the feeling of an old fox." Kong's tone was utterly scathing. "He won't let things slip as easily as you might think."

"I find it hard to believe that anyone would keep a secret from you," the principal said with a wry smile.

“I’m telling you, he’s different,” Kong said, looking in the direction William had disappeared. “It’s best to let him show us what he can do before trying to learn more.”

"It's as if he's about to do something," the principal snorted, objecting.

“Yes,” Kong’s eyes remained serious as he slowly nodded to his old friend, “otherwise, this old fox wouldn’t have waited several days to come here.”

The headmaster couldn't understand what Kong was thinking. The former thought William was just a simple child who was lucky to have a good master. But the latter had different feelings towards him. For Kong, William gave him the same feeling he had when dealing with masters of equal standard and strength.

He sensed how unfathomable William was, a feeling that fueled his curiosity to uncover William's secrets. (Panda-:)????)m

"You said you've been following him for many days," the principal pondered for a moment, then gave Kong a deep look. "Didn't you discover anything about him?"

“I can tell you… no matter what he did, I found myself forgetting his fighting style.”

"This..." The principal was stunned. If someone else had said these words, he wouldn't have thought this way.

But who is Kong? He is one of the strongest men in the entire kingdom. And in the entire world, he is one of the top 100.

“Not only that,” the principal added, just when he thought Kong wouldn’t give him any more surprises, “he also has a wealth of combat experience that is beyond his years, rank, and power. No matter what situation he finds himself in, he always uses the right methods to defeat the enemy and achieve victory.”

"Is it thanks to your master?" the principal couldn't help but ask.

“I was unable to meet his master,” Kong said slowly. “It took me several days to find him. I have spoken with Alina from the Forging Department and confirmed when he will leave the academy.”

"And then? What did you get?"

"If that master were here, she wouldn't be too far away, or perhaps he wouldn't even have a chance to meet her. But if I had such a Soul Master, I wouldn't be so restless." (Meeting her)

The principal watched Kong silently. Kong remained silent for a long time before speaking in a slow, heavy tone appropriate to the atmosphere: "If she were still alive, then she would be his master."

“Absolutely not!” The principal knew perfectly well who Kong was referring to. “We all saw her body torn to pieces in that deadly explosion.”

“We didn’t see her body suffer such a large explosion,” Kong said slowly. “At the time, we just assumed she was dead.”

"No one can survive such a deadly explosion! With our current strength, even you and I wouldn't survive."

“We still haven’t seen her body from that impact, nor have we found any of her remains,” Kong insisted. “No one else could be the owner of this mysterious body.”

"Then why hasn't she come back? Why is she staying in the forest?"

“This…we’ll have to wait until we see her to explain.” Kong turned back again, looking in the direction William had disappeared. “So we need to be even more careful with this kid.”

"Tch!" The principal disliked his best friend's way of thinking. But he couldn't refute Kong's words.

The ancient accident the two discussed in such a riddle still left a deep mark on their hearts, minds, and thoughts.

As for William, he knew nothing of this.

He never expected that his half-lie would rekindle the old hopes of the two strongest soul masters in the entire kingdom.
