Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Most of the important and valuable documents were guarded with a layer of seal. To access any of these, one had to have a higher level of spirit power than these seals.

William even heard later on from the masters who laughed on his failed visit that many documents were guarded with enchantments that would attack the spirit master if he tried to open the seals.

William didn't know who left such seals behind, and he knew no one in the academy knew as well. According to the stories he heard from back then, this library was established by a mysterious old headmaster, one that no one recalled his name right now.

William could guess the value behind such seals. It wasn't done to just annoy the disciples, but to limit anyone from knowing something that was way beyond his current powers or abilities.

And that meant for the past porter of him to end up having nothing to learn from this place.

Trying to open these seals wasn't that simple. He still recalled the many failed attempts he had inside, and how the seals fought fiercely back like they were real creatures and not seals!

Amidst such clashes, the risk of damaging the interior of the library was great. William had to give up every time he tried, fearing such a promised punishment from that scary spirit master lurking outside.

As he went inside, he met with a very wide space that extended for almost one thousand metres in all directions.

The library was formed of a single, yet grand building that covered up a one kilometre square area. Inside, there were many smaller walls, lined up in neat groups, holding a huge number of documents inside.

"Tsk! Back then, these masters never bothered to tell me any valuable information about this place," he shook his head when he saw such a grand place in front of his eyes.

And without any speck of hesitation, he turned around, got outside and went back in his tracks.

"Out already? Humph! I know the current generations are quite useless!" and the moment he went outside, that old spirit master spoke as if he expected such a thing.

"Senior, can I trouble you with something?" And yet what that old man said didn't stop William or even change his face even in the slightest.

"What? Asking for a refund? Hahahaha! You are quite naive to think about that! Scram now, go as far and fast as your legs can carry you, or else…"

Just in the middle of his angry talk, that old man choked and ate all the rest of his threatening words.

William didn't intend to say anything to clear up such a bad impression about him. He simply took something out from his ring and showed it in silence to the old man.

And as he expected, the moment the old man saw what he held in his hands, he stopped his trash talk, and showed instead an expression of disbelief on his face.

"If you want it, then all I need is for you to guide me inside," William tossed what he got out in the air, caught it again without sparring a single glance to it.

He gave that old man the impression that he never cared about such a precious thing. "So, will senior help me?" William looked straight at the old man's eyes, waiting for the obvious answer.

"This… I heard that the Long clan just got out from a hellish fight and tons of scarlet monsters got killed… Are you part of the Long clan? No way! You don't look like one of them!"

William knew the elder in front of him would recognise the scarlet bear monster core he held in his hand.

It might be something worthy of fifty thousand spirit crystals or more, very rare to find in the first place. But William knew the intentions of the old patriarch in flooding the market with these cores.

So, in the academy and regions around, these cores would lose most of their value. And that was why William took such a precious core out without even a single speck of hesitation.

"I was there when things went south," William gave such a random excuse that got most of the truth inside.

He wasn't just there; he was the one who made such a miracle possible.

"Even if you were present there, there is no way that stingy dude would give his precious cores to anyone," the elder paused, his face changed and became more serious, "who exactly are you? What's your name? What's your clan?"

"I'm William," William didn't know that such an elder knew the old patriarch this well, "and I'm just nobody. I came from a weak family with no clan."

"This…"

"Senior, do you want this core or not?" William hated it when people kept questioning him everywhere he went. Besides, he just wanted the help of this elder inside the library, nothing that would be worth such interrogation.

And when that elder didn't respond, William swiftly stored the core away, turned around, and was about to leave.

Wasting his time in the library without guidance was something he'd never do again. If this old man wouldn't help, then he'd go back and wait for Berry to visit, asking her for a solution to this little problem.

However, the moment he turned around, that elder felt instant scare and hurriedly flashed, blocking the path in front of William.

"Why be impatient? I was just trying to start a conversation here."

"I'm not that free," William blinked, putting on an innocent expression as if he got baffled by the actions of the elder, not expecting them, "and the senior looks busy. So, I'm going to find another senior to help."

"Find no one," the elder waved his hand, releasing his pressure suiting a dark gold spirit master, "I'm going to lead you inside. Don't you want someone to guide you in the library? Come, let me show you the secrets of this place."
