The two exchanged silent looks for a few seconds before Kong laughed.
"I told you; this kid isn't simple."
"I hate such type of people," the headmaster showed a rare expression of disdain, "if he knows something, he shall share it with us."
"As if he is obliged to do so," Kong laughed again, feeling happy that his earlier guess and doubt were proven correct too fast, "doesn't that remind you of someone?"
"Not again," the headmaster rolled his eyes before adding, "what will we do now?"
"Humph! I refuse to believe the two of us can be stopped by such a simple array," Kong paused before adding, "let's try it this way then... You do a similar version of that array and let me try to see what you are doing inside. Like this we can get to know how to properly break it fast."
Yet what Kong and the headmaster thought of as an easy task didn't prove to be so. The array William used was unbeatable! And that was simply because it used the simple concept of absorbing the universal spiritual power to negate any spirit master's spirit power.
As the two formidable spirit masters got themselves absorbed in testing this new array to them, William also started to test his theories out.
"I need to test the general theory first and see if the three elements will work perfectly fine together," William knew he couldn't be spied on anymore, so he started to speak his thoughts out loud without any fear.
The moment that array got activated, a thick cloud of fog surrounded him inside, as if he was standing in the middle of a big cloud in the sky.
He held out his sword, stood in his place motionless for a few minutes revising the steps he'd take to initiate this technique.
Before reaching the stage of testing the compatibility of the three elements together, he first had to see how to execute each element part.
That meant he had to test each element role in a separate way before trying to mix them up together.
The first step was to use his lightning element and speed himself up. It wasn't that easy as he never had any of these three elements before.
"Ouch!" Just when he tried to move according to the steps in his mind, activating his lightning element inside his spirit, he rushed fast and slammed into the walls of the garden.
He stood up feeling quite sour at his nose. He wasn't ready for such high speed, and in addition to that he ended up depleting lots of his spirit power.
"Damn! I never thought I'd need a way to regenerate my spirit power…" he got lost in thoughts, deciding to try out a simple and yet effective training manual on the spot.
He just depleted more than half of his spirit power to cross more than one hundred metres in a flash. He couldn't properly control his body as this was his first time using such an element.
But from such failure, he got to learn a lot. Yet the depleted spirit power turned out to be a problem he missed to count for.
The solution he used was a manual technique that'd accelerate the absorption of the spiritual power from the world around.
Yet it needed a place too rich in spiritual power to be used. And luckily for him, the array he just used turned this garden into such a place.
He sat down, crossed his legs, closed his eyes, and started to regulate his breathing according to the training manual. He controlled his spirit power, forcing it to move around his body in a certain fashion to absorb too much of the spiritual power from outside.
In almost half an hour, he managed to replenish what he lost. After all, his spirit power wasn't that high from the start.
One needed to know that by using common training manuals to replenish spirit power, one would take half a day to recover what William did.
"Time to test again…"
"Ouch!"
pαпdα-ňᴏνêι·сóМ "Damn!"
"I can't believe I can't control such a technique!"
He started to fail one time after another. After each failure, he'd lay on the ground to replenish his lost spirit power and also to think about his failures.
With each time he failed, he'd modify part of the technique. He was just using the lightning element and he still wasn't able to fully perform it the way he wanted to.
For him to get the entire technique done, he needed to have total control over his body and movement. He planned to move his sword in a precise way. And to do so, he needed his body and mind to get used to his movement speed.
Or else he'd end up just like now, failing to control his direction and speed, ending up slamming against the wall, or even slamming onto an enemy he was fighting.
As he persisted in trying, he spent almost half of the night solving this problem alone.
In the end, and under his persistence, he finally managed to find a way to control his body movement speed and evade the wall.
But that also shone light over another issue… The spirit power consumption rate.
During all this time, he spent almost half of his spirit power in each use. Even when he tweaked the movement and reduced his speed a little, he ended up spending almost forty percent of his spirit power.
To him this wasn't a good thing. He still needed to perform two other moves which would spend more of his spirit power.
If he did so, then what was the point in inventing such a technique from the start?
"I need to find a way to reduce my spirit power consumption…" as he sat again to replenish his spirit power, he thought to himself about this issue.
He wasn't without a clue here. He got few options to try out, and the simplest was to reduce the distance he would cross using this technique.
