Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 109 Can You Forge?

?"You can make one round over all of them before repeating the process again," William paused, "I believe five rounds is enough with all the amount of substance we got here. And don't worry about the amount of spirit power used, the substance will absorb a fixed amount per second, and will get absorbed without wasting too much power."

"Ok," Kong nodded, "what is this substance used for then?"

"A diversion," William mysteriously said, and no one here understood his meaning.

"Fine," unlike what everyone else expected, the newly arrived Kong didn't delve much about this topic as if he didn't care about any of this.

Under the fourth elder orders, he got to leave the frontline and come here to help this bunch of weaker spirit masters in doing something.

The fourth elder didn't stress over the matter, and that made Kong realise it was nothing of utmost importance.

Kong planned to finish his task here fast before returning back to the frontline.

"By the way, when will the battle begin?" William stopped Kong and asked. Back when he met the fourth elder, he didn't have time to ask about that.

But Kong seemed like an easier person to deal with. He just came from the frontline, and he surely got reliable news to deliver.

"Three hours at most," Kong paused, "so we got two hours to help before returning back to the frontline."

"We'll see about that," William didn't agree or disagree with this spirit master. After all, he just needed them to infuse the material into the spears and arrows for a few rounds before Lang and others would be freed from their current task.

Then if Kong insisted, William could let the new group leave while entrusting this task over to Lang and others.

Looking at William in weird gazes, the old group watched the newly arrived spirit masters starting their part of this task.

William didn't hurry to return back to his task and watched them for a few minutes before he finally nodded his head in approval.

This task was simple, yet very crucial in what yet to come. So, he made sure they were doing it exactly like he instructed, before returning back to his hammering routine.

"This… How is this even called forging?!!!"

Just when William started to cleanse the melted mix again, Kong and a few other spirit masters with him couldn't help but stop in their tracks, looking in disbelief towards what William was doing.

"He kept doing it for half an hour already," Lang said from the side, "we still don't know what he is trying to do. But from his words with the fourth elder, he claimed that a calamity is coming to the clan, and we are the only hope to save our home and people."

"This… Is he for real?!!" Kong pointed at William and Lang only shook his head. The latter could understand how the former felt, but he didn't speak any further.

Talk was going to do nothing about this weird situation, so Lang saved his breaths and just said one more thing before leaving:

"The fourth elder went through it with him and failed to prove him wrong. In the end he sent all of you fearing that what this crazy lad said would be true."

"This…" Kong's eyes narrowed before getting attracted to how William was moving again. Adding everything up, he felt something was off here.

"What shall we do?" One of his close up friends came closer, "we need to return back to our posts before the assault starts."

"We… Are going to wait here," against what everyone expected, Kong said in low tone, "if even the fourth elder trusts his words, then we have to wait by his side and act if this madness becomes real."

"But…"

"Lacking fifty spirit masters of our calibre won't make a big difference out there," Kong knew what his best friend was thinking about, "but if that kid's words proved to be true, then our help will make a huge difference. That's why the fourth elder sent us here."

"I… See…" Knowing that once his friend decided to do something, it was impossible to change his mind. His friend shook his head and motioned with his eyes for everyone around to keep working.

All returned to do what William told them, but Kong remained behind. He kept watching the novel moves of this little kid wearing the clothes of a porter.

"I never saw such a forging technique before in my life!" Kong softly whispered, while his words attracted the attention of many.

William didn't know this, but Kong was a forging spirit master who was nourished and supported by the clan.

Just like any forging spirit master, his spirit power wasn't related to his true place in the Forging department. He was considered a forging prodigy in the entire clan; one the clan higher ups held their future forging hopes on.

And that was the main reason why the fourth elder selected him. The elder thought about William's words carefully. If he got a choice, he'd personally stay here and watch what this little kid was doing.

But as things weren't looking that good in the clan, he had to take his role as everyone else in the upper echelon. So, he entrusted Kong to come here, knowing this youth's eyes wouldn't miss what William would do.

Yet Kong was oblivious to all that until he came here and watched the genuinely new forging technique William showed.

And just in twenty minutes and a few attempts from William, Kong's eyes turned red as he couldn't resist the desire to try this technique out.

"Going on like this is a bit risky," using the minutes William needed to catch his breaths and replenish his lost spirit power, Kong stepped forward at last, not able to endure this anymore, "let me help."

"Can you forge?"

"Brother William didn't know anything about me," the way he addressed William changed to become a brother, "I'm a disciple at the Forging department at the academy."
