Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

Ben was just like how Ro once said, a crazy womaniser. As the fort built the city and prospered, he found lots of chances to release his steam. With that, he looked much younger than what he looked like five years ago.

"It's you who is hiding all the time," Ben shook his head, before pointing at his thing as he added with an evil laugh, "if you listened to my offer and let me teach you my godly technique, you'd have only kept your little brother busy and enjoyed it on top of that."

"Thanks, but I like to keep my little brother in his coffin for now," William rolled his eyes. Every single time he met Ben, the latter would try to lure William to his side, "where is Panther now?"

"The usual," Ben paused, "don't tell me you didn't drop that crazy idea of yours yet!"

"I just like to collect gems," William laughed. As Ben kept trying to recruit him, William also kept trying to recruit Panther. Just like how William always refused Ben's offers, Panther also did the same.

But the latter was more shameless and didn't say no directly. William approached Panther on the premise of teaching him lots of things he didn't know about his spirit element. But Panther didn't say no, and instead asked William to teach him a few techniques and tricks to prove he wasn't lying.

Of course, William didn't buy any of that, refusing to say a single word about what he knew. Panther kept playing this silly game every time he met him, even joking about it on many occasions as well.

In William's eyes, Panther was indeed special. Putting aside his age and spirit grade or power, he was quite special by his ability to see the future.

Wouldn't it be great if he joined William and helped him foresee the future? Wouldn't that help in solving lots of problems about the Transformers and the Nightmare monster?

"See you around then," as Panther was busy supervising over the entire city, the new hobby he found in the recent years, William walked away.

"Hi Mr. Fox," as William reached the secretive underground space where the fox statue was, he greeted the statue like usual, "how have your recent days been? I hope they were great."

William started to speak to the statue as if the latter was able to hear and understand him. He did that to relieve the boredom of being here all alone, without anyone to speak with for long days, even weeks and months at some point.

William didn't yet notice the changes he caused to the statue every time he trained and absorbed the spirit power and knowledge stored inside. After all, he did that while closing his eyes, immersed in his task.

If he got a spirit sense, he'd be able to notice such changes. But that ability would be gained when he'd reach the gold grade.

"Hmm… I only lacked a few hundred points before reaching the five thousand mark…" William held the crystal in his hand and counted every single speck of silver light inside, "I shouldn't waste any more time or spirit power over that fox technique. It's better to reach the gold stage fast and meet with that fox again."

The black fox told him that every single time he'd level up his grade, he'd get tested, eventually meeting him at the end of each test. William trained diligently on that technique for years, and now his understanding of the way spirits worked and lived was different than last time.

William got tons of questions to ask, and he had many doubts in himself. Only that black fox was the one able to clear such doubts and answer his questions.

"These few hundred points might seem easy to get… But it'd take me at least half a year to get them… And they want me to stop all this and take part in a silly contest…"

William started using his training technique while placing one palm over the head of the statue. This was the way to absorb power and knowledge from within. And this time, he spent two entire weeks in his training.

"Seventy points… Not enough…" William held his crystal and muttered while counting the number of silver dots he got there.

In the middle of the crystal, a miniature form of a fox with four tails shimmering in different light was calmly lying there.

"I spent two weeks this time, and only got this far… It seems staying indoors and training isn't the ideal way for me… I need dark gold cores, around a hundred or so…"

Of course, he wouldn't do that unless it was a dire situation or so. He didn't just lack tens of spirit power points; he lacked hundreds of them. If he tried to absorb a dark gold core at his current stage, a great chance of his body exploding was there. And yet that didn't prevent him from thinking about obtaining these dark gold cores. Even if he couldn't use them right away, he could store them just like how he did with the gold cores before.

He sighed, while shaking his head in regret. If it was another time, then it'd be just an easy task to go around, looking for Scarlet Bears.

But during the past five years, a fervent hunt for these bears erupted all over the world using his method. And that led to the close extinction of that type of monster.

Of course, that came with lots of monsters getting slaughtered, and tons of dark masters killed.

"Hmm… I shall take a look outside. Perhaps I'll be lucky and meet a dark gold grade monster swarm that I can solve…"

William didn't feel that bitter about that. After all, monsters were there to get slaughtered and killed. And these Scarlet Bears played a great role in the apocalypse that befell this world before.

Thanks to eliminating such a threat, he was sure the scale of the upcoming apocalypse wouldn't be as severe as what happened in his past life.
