Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

After telling the principal their feelings, the two stood around the cave entrance, realizing how simple yet tricky it was to get around the formation.

The two discovered that the opening was not covered by the array's energy and did not seal anything.

When they probed their divine senses into the cave entrance, they successfully crossed the insurmountable edge of the formation and saw what was inside.

From here, the two began to try different methods until they finally managed to bypass the formation completely without having to make any holes or gaps in the ground.

Even with the surrounding chaos, William's formation concealed everything. Therefore, outside the formation, everything appeared normal.

In addition, they wanted to find a reliable way to eavesdrop on Dark Soul Masters' meetings and bases under different circumstances without alerting them.

"Let's see what that little devil is doing here." After the two finally learned a way to break the formation that even William didn't know, the headmaster was even more eager to try it out.

Just as William attempted his combination move, they saw clearly what he was doing this time.

William wanted to find a way to better control the arcs of lightning that accumulated on his sword.

He couldn't reduce the number of these arcs to less than five, so he wanted to see if he could find another way to handle the problem.

"This..." However, the moment he finished using his technique, he stood in the center of the new crater created by his sword, feeling both puzzled and shocked.

His method was exactly the same as last night, fusing the two elements together. Five arcs of light gathered around the blade, but when he unleashed the attack, a new change occurred.

"What's going on?!" He stood motionless, staring at his sword. He had tried the technique last night, but had only managed to release one-fifth of the arc.

This time, he released five, and his soul power was still nearly 30%.

This was something he never expected. He didn't feel that his skills had changed, nor did he do anything different.

"I have to try again..." This result was a complete shock to him; he never expected that doing nothing would lead to this outcome.

Unable to determine what caused this change, he decided to try again. But he first sat cross-legged on the ground and began to replenish his lost soul power.

"What is this kid doing?" From a distance, the principal stood next to Kong, and the two watched William's actions.

In their eyes, William's movements were already quite fast for a Soul Master of his level. And his next move was quite novel to the principal.

“I… have never seen such a technique before…” Kong’s eyes flashed with a mysterious light. “But no matter what he does, he is not satisfied.”

“I think so too…and it’s strange…” The principal paused, then added seriously, “Such an action is enough to threaten a stronger Soul Master across levels, so why isn’t he satisfied?”

"I have no idea what that little devil is thinking." Kong, like his friend, felt helpless about William's methods.

In his eyes, this technique was on par with his family's powerful techniques. However, William seemed quite uneasy and dissatisfied. This made him wonder why William was reacting this way.

If he were in William's position, he would be happy to do such a thing.

At least they knew that William wasn't as satisfied as they felt; he was just confused and bewildered.

He felt his skills were now more perfect than ever before, usable in any battle. But since he didn't know exactly what had caused this change, he hadn't yet celebrated the result.

After replenishing his lost soul power, he stood up and tried to use his new technique. This time, his attention was completely focused on any changes that might bring about such a desirable result.

"Impossible! This...this...how could this be...!!!"

When he used the technique for the fourth time, he finally found the reason for this change.

To his surprise, the cause of this change was something he had never imagined: the dark element within his soul!

After repeatedly stirring the dark element, it was easily activated. Since the first step to activating this element required rapid movement, which was also the first step in activating his combo skill, his dark element was also activated.

Because his light element overlay is similar to the concept of dark techniques, the darkness within him begins to act.

However, it wasn't as simple as it seemed. To uncover the whole truth, he began using the technique repeatedly until the early hours of the next day.

“So… that’s it…” William muttered to himself, unaware that every word he spoke was being heard by the two hungry wolves watching him. “The way I swung my sword was different from that man’s. It required the Still Moon Technique, so even if the darkness was stirred, it wasn’t enough to violently collide and fight against the other two elements…”

He stopped and began to rethink what he had discovered after all these attempts.

He now clearly understands that his dark element has been activated, but it hasn't reached the point where it negatively impacts his entire cultivation technique.

This level of activation alone brought about an effect he had never imagined or known before: a control effect!

The fusion of the two elements has only one side effect: it's too domineering and too explosive, and his current level of soul power simply cannot make a difference.
