Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 102 Listening To His Explanation

?The situation already got out of his control. Be it either the growing hostility from the kids around, or the appearance of that elder, the entire situation could be least described as disastrous!

As he was pincered like this, his calm mind immediately decided to take this chance and flip this disaster into a chance.

If he could turn this enraged elder to his side, then he'd secure more helping hands thanks to his support.

"Oh, you seem this confident about this!" The elder was about to give this lad a proper beating before he recalled all the things he knew about William.

This lad was acting out of logic so far, just reminding him of himself. And so, after a few moments of contemplating over it, he decided to give it a go.

What would he lose if he let the other party freely speak up his mind? William wouldn't be able to even take a single step before dying on his hand.

A bronzed spirit master against a dark gold one? That was even a joke to consider this idea.

"Fine, tell me then what you want to say," the fourth elder removed the suffocating pressure over William entirely, "but if you spouted nonsense, death only waits for you."

"Fourth elder… He…" Berry's body staggered when she heard the fourth elder's words.

"Berry, I know you are caring for him for many reasons. But making a favour to the clan doesn't give anyone the right to speak in such ill way against us. He had dug his own grave when he spoke in such a way. He should have kept his mouth shut and not say anything like this."

"But…"

"Even if your grandfather was here, he would have said the same words as I did," the fourth elder could easily guess the train of thoughts in Berry's mind. And with such words, Berry could only shut up.

She stole a glance at William, not knowing how such a situation turned from helping the clan and getting recognised into getting threatened to be killed on the spot.

She had only one hope, and that was for her grandfather to be nearby or something. She knew the only person able to stop the fourth elder would be her grandfather, just like what he did with her father before.

But they were already away from the walls.

Even thinking about sending something to notify her grandfather wouldn't work either. No one would be ready to do such a thing for her and William. Besides the time taken if she ran herself to find her grandfather would be too long and William would already be dead.

So, she only could inwardly sigh and hope that William knew what he was doing.

The fourth elder just waited for William to speak up. If William said something silly, he'd be killed on the spot, no mercy was allowed for such rude spirit masters in his eyes.

Ignorant to all this, William was looking at the fourth elder without any shred of fear or hesitation.

And against what everyone expected to see, William simply leant to the side, grabbed a thin piece of wood laying on the ground nearby and used it as a stick.

Without saying a single word, he started drawing something on the ground.

It was a rough drawing of a big semicircular shaped space. And once he was done with this circle, he started to speak without stopping his childish drawing of more shapes.

"This is considered the area surrounding the clan's place to the north," he spoke while drawing a small circle at the bottom of the crescentic shaped line he drew before.

Comparing the two together, one had to notice how the difference in size was between the two.

"If I'm correct, then your clan is going to use the monster penetration formation to fend off this monster tide, right?" William drew several vertical lines coming out from the circle he drew before. And these lines headed towards the direction of the crescentic line.

Yet they all stopped after crossing almost one fifth of the distance towards the line.

"You… How do you know about this formation?!" The surprise was apparent in the voice of the fourth elder, "yet it's not enough to prove anything."

"I'm not done speaking yet," William didn't even bother to raise his head to speak with the fourth elder. Instead, he drew a few small circles which got penetrated by the lines.

"This formation is really good, enough to fend off any monster outbreak below grade two. So, dealing with a monster outbreak of grade three is going to work, right?"

"That's what logic says, not your insane claims, humph!"

"Then let me ask elder then… This formation works by driving out the spirit power of those using it to form gigantic spears made out of energy. These spears are quite sharp and strong, enough to keep killing monsters as long as the spirit power continues to run from the spirit masters' bodies, right?"

"Correct," this time the fourth elder didn't express his surprise for such a lad to know such a complicated thing in such great detail.

He found a simple answer for all this, William's imaginary master. For a kid like William, it was an impossible feat to know such knowledge. But for his master, it would be like a childish play.

In the fourth elder's eyes, William was fortunate enough to witness his master speak about such a formation before, and even saw her teach others how to use it.

"To sense the approaching monsters from far, the clan must have established sensing formations around the clan," William didn't return back to the matter of that offensive formation, instead he drew a larger circle that ended up where the offensive formation lines ended as well.

"This…"

"You don't need to confirm my words, I know it's one of the clan's deepest secrets. I'm just stating facts," William shrugged, "but that also means that the sensory abilities of the clan only stopped here, right?"
