Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

Unlike the name of this attack, the Soul Master doesn't need to hit anything when charging up the sword.

In fact, the name of this strike is related to the use of soul power. The sword moves in a star-like pattern, which counts as one strike, and a few star-shaped lights will appear on the blade.

Twenty circles, twenty strikes, twenty little stars... and then you can unleash your technique.

With the sword blade filled with twenty small stars, the Soul Master can finally release the stars onto the target.

The attack doesn't require the sword to hit the target, but the target can't be too far from the Soul Master. The range of twenty stars released shouldn't exceed ten meters.

Each star will orbit the target, covering a radius of ten meters, before finally exploding.

The explosion of each star propels the target towards the next exploding star. This means that stars will explode in a predetermined order.

This means that once a target is trapped, its chance of escaping this deadly attack is zero. The most lethal aspect of this attack is that the target does not need to enter such a sequence in the first place.

If the target is hit by the fifth or even fifteenth starburst, he will be trapped in the next starburst.

The essence of this attack lies in the circles drawn by Soul Masters while they are charging up their power.

William knew the sword's movements wouldn't be so simple even before launching the attack. The circles pointed in the direction where these stars would later explode.

Before the attack begins, some kind of overall plan should be developed for the entire pattern. There should be some connection between the explosion locations of these twenty stars.

Therefore, a Soul Master who uses this technique must be able to predict where his target is and where his star will eventually reach. This is a very tricky technique, requiring not only Soul Power but also extensive training and prediction skills.

William wanted to combine the essence of these three technologies, make some slight adjustments, and ultimately create a completely new technology.

Any Soul Master who wants to design a new cultivation technique must, like William just did, start from the foundation of the technique in their own mind.

"The first move relies on speed, the second on stacking the attacks, and the third requires precision and prediction, controlling the direction of each sword strike before unleashing it..."

William kept repeating the phrase in his mind until he began to devise many ways to execute the technology he wanted.

He wanted to move the sword in a semi-circular motion to solve his problem of insufficient soul power.

If he tried to use the same techniques as before, his fate wouldn't be good. He stopped using the circular moves of the Still Moon Technique and started using crescent-shaped moves instead.

This would save him the soul power and time required to perform this technique.

Moreover, he also needs to control the direction of these attacks, and at the same time use speed to accelerate them.

He didn't choose the quick movement for a second dark-based attack. After all, his technique required the use of lightning and light-based moves, and these two were the true nemesis of darkness.

This is also why he didn't aim for the second move, which was silence and difficult to counter.

"Will they be compatible...?" He frowned as he pondered how to implement his hypothesis.

Light and lightning are compatible to some extent. However, darkness is not.

William came up with a trick: to activate it using the high-speed movement of the lightning element, and then the dark element related to stacked attacks would come into play.

While doing this, he needs to concentrate and think about the direction in which his technique will ultimately be used, which belongs to the light-based technique.

If he can combine all of these elements, the final move will be very difficult to dodge and will produce a terrifyingly powerful attack.

William didn't know whether his ultimate move would create stars like a light-based move or cause a devastating attack like a lightning-based move.

'The other two will use dark elements... If the technique cannot be stabilized by this stage, then all will fail...'

For William, failure was not a problem. He knew that he would learn something new with each failure. Ultimately, he succeeded.

But he began to worry about the initial problem, so he decided to first design a new technology to solve it; the rate at which his soul power was being consumed.

He knew that applying too much soul power to his cultivation technique would resolve any conflicts between incompatible elements. However, this also meant a surge in soul power consumption. But he didn't want that.

“I need to verify these theories first…” After spending almost a day thinking, William returned to the original problem he needed to solve.

He didn't want to test anything under the watchful eyes of others. Otherwise, coming here would have been pointless.

He knew that the principal's residence was the safest place in the entire academy. However, the principal himself intended to monitor his every move.

However, he does have a way to solve this problem. He doesn't need any help to do it.
