Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Chapter 187 The Trouble Of Wrong Techniques

"Three basic techniques running so deep inside our foundation and have such faults? How did this happen?"

The old man's gaze changed a little while his face seemed to be filled with fury. He was here the whole time and listened to what William said. What he heard made him realise how wrong these techniques were.

The academy always paid utmost attention to the techniques taught for their spirit master disciples.

The old man had to admit to himself that they were in the wrong. They cared more about the strong techniques and never paid any attention to the basic ones.

All the techniques taught here hailed from old records and teachings. They should have been reviewed and studied by all the masters in the academy. But for a reason unknown to him, such wronged techniques were introduced to the academy and taught to the disciples here. The more he reviewed what William said and did, the more enraged and puzzled he became.

He knew these three techniques, the faulty versions which were demonstrated before by John. However, when he listened and watched William's talk and performance of the three techniques, he knew how deeply wrong these techniques were.

"Don't tell me the old records were played with… No way!" A sense of fear overwhelmed the old man before he took a long gaze at John. "At least this kid isn't arrogant and selfish to keep the knowledge to himself. But I can't let such a thing slip by. A thorough investigation must be carried out…"

No one knew what the old headmaster was thinking about or decided at this moment. In a fwoosh he flashed and vanished from here, in the same silent way he appeared in.

William moved back to his place while his mind was thinking about what just happened.

When he was here back in his past life, he was in no position to learn anything at all. He was a porter, one that lay at the lower bottom of the food chain in this world and academy.

So, he lacked any reference of any kind about the techniques taught in the academy. His simple interaction with John had set lots of alarms in his mind.

"This can't be right…" As he approached his place, his mind couldn't help but think repeatedly about the three basic faulty techniques that John showed him.

If that was the general case in the academy, then it meant most if not all of the techniques taught in this world were wrong. That wasn't a good thing for William.

After all, William wanted to pick few disciples from here and train them till they'd leave this world with him.

He always thought the main problems lied in the lack of right training manuals, lacking the knowledge about monsters, not knowing anything about how to increase one's spirit grade, and ignoring the important roles of alchemy and forging.

However, he realised that he underestimated how truly bad the current situation really was. Even the common techniques were wrong! And that meant the stronger techniques, the ones big clans and families treasured, would also be wrong!

"Tsk! That's more work to do… What luck!" He knew if he wanted to truly make a formidable and worthy team, he had to start teaching them more about techniques.

And to do so, he'd face tons of problems.

Common techniques were available for anyone. So, it was easy for him to get to know these, read and learn if they were right or wrong. Then he could teach others and tell them how to perform these techniques the right way.

But the main problem lied in the techniques of the big clans and families.

To them, these techniques were like a secret, a top secret, something that they wouldn't tell him no matter what.

"I'll have to focus on the general techniques then," William knew how important such common techniques were. They didn't consume much of the spirit power and had the ability to change the outcome of any spirit master battle.

"I have to go back and see that old man once more," he knew he didn't need to attend any classes. With or without a formal leave for him, he planned to not attend the classes most of the time.

He knew there were grades assigned to those attending classes, doing homework, and actively participating and performing quite well in classes.

But most of the grades depended on the final tests at the end of the year. And he was confident in his ability to pass such an exam.

Besides, he had tons of plans in his mind for what he wanted to do in the upcoming few months.

"I need to go and see that old man tonight!" William planned to meet his friends, select a mission that went to a certain place he wanted to visit outside the academy, before returning back and starting the next step in his plan.

But right now, he realised going outside with such weak and wrongly taught techniques would be quite severe. He decided to postpone all this for now, go and learn about many of the common techniques taught in classes, come back and teach the right techniques to his mates, before waiting for a few days for them to grasp part of these techniques.

It was better to get delayed and be more prepared than rush things out and end up facing deadly situations thanks to the weakness of his team.

And so, he decided to go to the library tonight, postpone his plans to move out today as he planned, and agree with others to meet again tomorrow or in two days at most.

William already got a glimpse on the tip of the iceberg of the entire chaos in this world. The traitors and dark spirit masters seemed to run deeply inside this academy at least.

He didn't know the situation in other academies, but he was worried about the possibility of fooling all the techniques taught to humans.
