Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

It wasn't even close to what he expected before, but that old man showed such stinginess and stubbornness that left William unable to get what he wanted.

William regretted not going all out back then and dissected the monsters directly for their cores.

The number of dark gold bears alone was in the hundreds of thousands! And this old man kept harassing him about the price of tens and hundreds!

Even when William lowered the number down to one thousand, the old patriarch didn't settle with that and lowered it by fifty. William couldn't help but finally agree, to extricate himself from such a weird situation.

William couldn't believe it! However, at least he got out with such a large number of high end cores, and from such a rare breed of monsters as well.

This, no matter how William struggled in the past two hours, ended up with him getting enough to secure his needs for a long time.

This bargain came to such a weird conclusion where both men won, and no one came out losing despite what everyone felt inside that he got the other tricked.

The old patriarch didn't believe William. He was sure he was going to use these cores for himself, selling them and gaining profit. William didn't know he got seen through, and even if he knew, he had no way nor desire to clear such doubts.

After the two finished speaking about such a point, the old patriarch brought up something else to their talk.

"You do know that even if many didn't witness this battle, all got the news," the old Kong suddenly said in warning.

"So? Shouldn't I leave the academy for the time being or what?" William knew the old man's words held no ill intentions.

"You did things that are still hard to grasp by many of us. We tried to study that material you crafted, however…"

"Don't bother, what do you need to know about it? Come on, I'll tell you…"

"Good lad."

"... In case you gave me five hundred crores in return."

"..."

The old patriarch's face twitched as he fell in William's trap. "Forget it then," he had to drop such an idea before adding, "but for your safety, you shouldn't go outside frequently."

"I know," William knew his performance here might attract trouble to him. However, he didn't intend to really hide inside the academy.

Doing that wouldn't do him any good at all. He was different, and he wouldn't need the normal path of others to grow stronger.

He needed to consume lots of monster cores and had to kill them himself. He helped in crafting the spears and arrows, so he knew he got a slim chance to consume the monster cores from these bears.

If he managed to do that, then he didn't need to go outside the academy at all. But if that failed, and there was a great chance for him to fail, he'd find himself with no other choice but to go outside and venture the world.

As for trying to purchase just monster cores from the market, this wasn't going to help him in any way. He already tried this method out and failed.

"You do know that I'm concerned about your life," the old Kong got the feeling of insincerity from William.

So, he had to blurt it out directly if this thick headed kid in front of him didn't get hints.

"Thanks, I'm going to listen to your words by the letter."

As William didn't express his thoughts about what he intended to do, the old Kong could only sigh.

No matter how the old patriarch saw it, William didn't plan to stay inside the academy. It was clear that he was going to visit the forest again, even with the direct warning of old Kong.

"About the kids you led before…" As the old Kong failed at this point, he postponed it for later and brought up another matter.

"There are good seeds in the clan, good job!" Out of what the old patriarch expected, William suddenly spoke as if he was the patriarch or a formidable master.

Hearing such words made the corners of old Kong's eyes twitch for a brief second. "We are the Long clan!" The old Kong couldn't control himself from acting arrogant.

"In any clan, there are good and bad seeds," William didn't care about the tone of annoyance and arrogance the old man in front of him spoke with, "and knowing whom from which is a rare chance for the clan."

"I know how to deal with things related to my clan, kid!" The old Kong couldn't believe this kid was thinking about giving him advice regarding how to rule over his clan!

"I just want to thank you for helping them to understand the world better back then," the old patriarch cleared his throat, coughed once before adding, "and to your knowledge, Lang is in the same class as yours."

"I know," William knew the real point behind the old man's words, "and Berry as well."

Mentioning Berry made the face of the old man in front of him change slightly. The old patriarch didn't bring the name of Berry as he wanted William to focus more on Lang and other kids from the clan.

"I want to meet them before I'm gone," ignoring the weird reaction of the old man, William added in a calm tone.

"With all of them? For what?" The old patriarch acted as if he didn't get what William wanted by his words.

Even if the two had the same goal in mind, which was nourishing these kids and making them stronger, the two had totally different methods in their minds.

The old patriarch wanted William to befriend his clan's kids at the academy, join their faction, and deliver advice and guidance to them from time to time.

Yet what William had in mind was something entirely different. He didn't want to join anyone's faction or side. He wanted to create his own faction and recruit others to join him.
