Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

The two stared at each other in silence for a few seconds, then Kong smiled.

"I told you, this kid is something else."

“I hate people like that,” the principal said, a rare look of disdain on his face. “If he knew anything, he would share it with us.”

"It's as if he's obligated to do so." Sora laughed again, pleased that his earlier guesses and suspicions had been proven correct so quickly. "Doesn't this remind you of someone?"

“No way,” the principal rolled his eyes, then added, “What should we do now?”

"Hmph! I don't believe such a simple formation can stop the two of us." Kong paused, then added, "Then let's try it... You create a similar formation, and let me see what you do inside. That way we'll know how to break it properly."

However, what Kong and Principal thought was easy turned out to be quite different. The formation William used was invincible! That was only because it used the simple concept of absorbing cosmic spiritual energy to negate the soul power of any soul master.

As the two powerful Soul Masters focused intently on testing the new formation on them, William also began to examine his own theory.

“I need to test the general theory first, to see if these three elements can work together perfectly.” William knew he couldn’t be monitored any longer, so he began to speak his thoughts aloud without fear.

The moment the formation was activated, his interior was enveloped in a thick layer of mist, as if he were standing in a vast expanse of clouds in the sky.

He drew his sword and stood motionless for several minutes, modifying the steps to activate the technology.

Before getting to the compatibility test of the three elements, he first needs to see how to perform each element part.

This means he has to test each elemental character individually before trying to mix them together.

The first step was to use lightning to increase his speed. This wasn't easy, because he didn't have any of these three elements before.

"Ouch!" Just as he was trying to move according to the steps in his mind and activate the lightning element in his soul, he rushed forward and crashed into the garden wall.

He stood up, feeling a lump in his throat. He hadn't been prepared for such speed at all, and it had also consumed a lot of his soul power.

"Damn it! I didn't expect I would need a way to restore my soul power..." He fell into deep thought and decided to try out a simple and effective cultivation manual on the spot.

He had just exhausted most of his soul power, and in an instant, he had covered more than a hundred meters. He couldn't control his body properly because this was the first time he had used this element.

He learned a lot from this failure, but the depletion of his soul power was a problem he hadn't anticipated.

The solution he adopted was a method that could accelerate the absorption of the surrounding spiritual energy.

However, it requires a place with abundant spiritual energy to be used. Fortunately, the array he had just cast had transformed this garden into such a place.

He sat down, cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to regulate his breathing according to the training manual. He controlled his spiritual power, forcing it to circulate around his body in a certain way, absorbing excess external spiritual power.

In about half an hour, he had recovered what he had lost. After all, his soul power wasn't high to begin with.

It should be noted that using a regular cultivation manual to replenish soul power would take half a day to recover what William had done.

"It's time to test it again..."

"I can't believe I can't master this skill!"

He began to fail again and again. After each failure, he would lie on the ground to replenish his lost soul power while reflecting on his defeat.

With each failure, he would modify some of his techniques. He was only using lightning-based techniques, but he hadn't yet been able to fully achieve the effect he wanted.

To master the technique, he needed complete control over his body and movements. He planned to wield the sword with precision. To do this, he needed to adapt his mind and body to his speed of movement.

Otherwise, he would be like he is now, unable to control his direction and speed, crashing into the wall, or even into the enemy he is fighting.

Through his persistent attempts, he solved the problem on his own, almost half the night.

Finally, through his persistence, he found a way to control his body's movement speed and avoid the walls.

But this also illustrates another issue... Soul Power Consumption Rate.

During this period, each time he used his soul power, it consumed nearly half of his soul power. Even if he slightly adjusted his movements and reduced his speed, it still consumed nearly forty percent of his soul power.

This is not good news for him. He still needs to use two more moves, which will consume even more soul power.

If he really did that, then what was the point of him inventing this technology in the first place?

"I need to find a way to reduce the consumption of soul power..." He sat down again to replenish his soul power, thinking about this problem.

He wasn't without clues. He had few options to try; the simplest was to use the technique to reduce the distance he had to traverse.
