Rebirth: Supreme Soul Master

“Don’t think you’ll do the same! I’ll deal with you later, Miss.” Callum’s tone was much harsher than William had perceived the headmaster’s attitude towards Sarah.

Unbeknownst to William, this father was even more overprotective and attached to his beloved daughter. Even though he was grateful to William for rescuing his daughter from her suffering, he could not forget what he saw when Berry jumped into William's arms.

Seeing this scene made him so angry that he wanted to teach the boy a lesson on the spot and warn him not to come near his daughter again.

If William hadn't done that to Berry, Callum would have even considered cutting the boy's head off and letting him roll on the ground to get rid of the trouble once and for all.

“But…but…” Berry turned to her uncle, who lowered his head helplessly, refusing to help William in such a dangerous situation.

"It's alright." However, to everyone's surprise, William drew his sword and added, "Senior wouldn't bully a weak Soul Master like me, would he?"

"You damned tongue! Now I know how you made my girl fall in love with you! Come on, let me see what else you have besides that venomous tongue."

“William!!” Berry turned around, trying to stop him with her reddened eyes and tear-streaked face.

“It’ll be alright,” William said, but he had to stand on tiptoe to do so.

After all, Berry was at least ten centimeters taller than him.

"Hmph! You dare touch her in front of me again? How dare you! Do you have a death wish?!"

William was definitely doing it on purpose. He didn't like being invited there in the first place. And instead of thanking him for everything he had done for his daughter, this loving and caring father issued such a challenge and treated him in such a rude manner.

But William didn't know that this loving father had once understood people so well.

He was such a strict Soul Master, both towards himself and those around him. He didn't like to get to know people through conversation.

As he often said: the tongue can lie, can conceal a false soul, can distort intentions, but the sword cannot.

Therefore, he issued this challenge in order to better understand William and his true intentions towards his daughter.

Moreover, he was very curious about him. This seemingly frail Soul Master, even shorter than his daughter, had actually cured his daughter's terminal illness with the advice of all the famous Healing Soul Masters in the entire kingdom and even overseas.

Because William dared to accept his challenge without even begging to stop him, the father did him some favors, just a little.

Faced with two stubborn men, the two men she longed for most, Berry couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine, and tears silently streamed down her face.

"How are we supposed to compete?" William asked, standing twenty meters away from the terrifying Soul Master.

There are many versions of the Soul Master duel, and William wanted to know what they would be competing against now.

Trying to fight him with soul power is simply insane! As for techniques, William knows a lot, but apart from the Holy Sword, he has no time to practice them.

However, if he were to use it to fight against a Dark Gold Soul Master of the level William imagined Berry's father to be, he would ultimately not gain any advantage.

His methods were ruthless, enough to injure even a Gold-level Soul Master. But Karom was even stronger.

“As you just said, I am your senior, so I will not use any soul power. However, don’t celebrate too soon… A soul master of my level is not weak even without soul power.”

"You're a Dark Gold Soul Master, aren't you?" William didn't show any of the expected joy when Carol said he couldn't use mental power. This made Berry's father even more puzzled.

"My daughter tells you about my grades...it's funny!"

This is the only explanation for how William knew his Soul Master level. But William was standing so close, yet he couldn't sense a trace of soul power from him.

This indicates that the father is at least two levels higher than him in terms of Soul Master rank. And since he is already a Bronze Soul Master, it means that the father is at least a Dark Gold level Soul Master.

Not to mention his grandmother, who was about his age and an elder like him. Since Gran was a dark soul master, William guessed that Berry's father wouldn't be much weaker.

"What are the rules?" William asked again, which made everyone watching feel that William was the stronger of the two.

“You have guts, I’ll give you that.” His father nodded slowly, William’s calm demeanor igniting his fighting spirit. “I’ve heard you defeat monsters in different ways. Come on, let me see what you’re capable of.”

"Kill monsters in different ways?!" Upon hearing this, William became wary for the first time since arriving here.

When he met the dean of the academy, he discovered that those traitors who had been pointing fingers at him were all imposters.

He never imagined that someone was following and monitoring his actions.

But from Berry's father's casual words, William realized that he was indeed being watched.

He killed the monster without any companions, except for the two girls who belonged to him here, and they never told anyone about it, nor would they ever do it.

From that time on, he never encountered or killed any monsters again. So, if anyone saw him doing this, it must have started when he was in the forest.
