Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

He tried to slow down, but it didn't have much of an impact, so his goal was to reduce the distance he covered in his next attempt.

This technique allows him to teleport over a hundred meters without any problem. However, in order to reduce the consumption of soul power, he must reduce this range from a hundred meters to thirty meters.

The reduced area resulted in less than 10% soul power consumption. For him, this was simply perfect!

Attempts to further reduce the distance ultimately failed. Not to mention, attempting to attack the enemy at a distance of twenty meters or less is impractical in many situations.

“Well then, it’s time to try the third move…” When he was satisfied with the result, he began to turn his attention to light-based moves.

He didn't rush to test his dark-type moves because he knew he needed more time to get them compatible with the other two moves.

He first decided to use lightning and light-based moves, and then try dark moves that were somewhere in between.

Since it took him most of the night to complete the first move, he estimated that he would be able to barely complete the second move by the end of the night.

He planned to take a short break after completing the third step as he wished.

Then he will meet the two girls to learn about their knowledge of the Dark Soul Masters and their plans. This will then lead to the secret of his storage ring, and finally, he will attempt to execute a second dark-based operation and merge it with the other two.

He anticipated that by the end of the third day, he would be able to perform the technique in its basic form. Mastering it would require more time and effort, but he wasn't in a hurry.

Using the simple version was enough for him to do things that would be earth-shattering in the eyes of other Soul Masters, and enough to save his life in front of stronger Soul Masters.

Moreover, during his time at the Long Clan and back at the academy, he had many opportunities to hunt more monsters and improve his soul power.

The more soul power he has, the more opportunities he will have to use this technique.

Therefore, he only wants to learn the basic form of this technique now. And three days is enough for him.

However, he seriously underestimated the light-based moves he was learning!

"Damn it! What a powerful explosion!!" Contrary to his expectations, he successfully executed the third part on his very first attempt. However, the intensity of the explosion was enough to almost completely drain his soul power!

"Hoof! Hoof! If I hadn't lowered my sword at the right moment... Hoof! Hoof!"

He now lies on the ground, on the edge of a deep crater, looking as if an asteroid had just struck the area. Thick dust and smoke rise from the hole, which extends five meters deep.

In the middle, his golden sword was inserted into the hilt and deeply embedded in the ground.

William stayed there for nearly half an hour before he finally recovered some of his strength and soul power. He quickly sat down on the ground, recalling what had just happened.

"That move was incredibly powerful! With my current soul power, I simply couldn't withstand such intense exertion. And even when I stopped, it still left behind such a huge crater... Amazing!"

Despite feeling helpless about the insane drain he was experiencing, he was still amazed at how cruel such actions were!

It's even suitable as a standalone martial art!

In his view, if he wanted to perform the entire technique according to his own plan, it would unleash a violent explosion, even more powerful than the one that occurred a few minutes earlier.

However, he also realized that without reaching at least the Silver-level Soul Master rank, he couldn't use such a technique as an independent skill. Otherwise, he would be drained dry, suffering the same fate as the nine Golden Heaven disciples before him.

His part involves stacking up the slashes and releasing them in a predetermined direction.

Since he hadn't yet tried dark-type moves, he had to use his initial light-type moves. However, his sword movements weren't star-shaped, but rather simple slashing motions, each swing utilizing the light element of his martial soul.

"I only used ten strikes! Just ten strikes! They didn't even follow the standard star-shaped movement! And yet they caused such a commotion... I also lost control of the direction, abruptly ending the move... So, what would happen if those ten strikes were combined into one? Interesting..."

He continuously cultivated and replenished his depleted soul power for nearly an hour. During this time, he began to change the layout of his moves.

"I don't need to concentrate on hitting twenty times, I can only hit five..." He thought of this possibility.

He has successfully made such a move, but he must adjust how to control it.

Things happened too fast; he didn't have time to determine which part had consumed the most of his soul power. But he could tell that one aspect of this attack had drained most of his strength.

Seeing the damage he had caused to the garden, he longed even more for the final combo attack. "I need to try again..." He stood up, deciding to give it another shot, no longer worried about making the same mistake as the first time.

This time, he decided to abandon the attempt to control the direction of each strike. He knew that he could unleash the same destructive power using dark elements. But he wanted to see which part consumed the most of his soul power.
