They rarely felt such a feeling, like they were frogs inside a deep well. That array made them feel helpless against, and such feeling wasn't that depressing to such masters.
Instead, it was like steroids, pumping up their will to try and break it even more.
William thought the array followed a concept that wasn't known in this world. But he was mistaken. Or to be precise, he underestimated the genius minds of such formidable masters.
The two masters failed to break the array, but they at least comprehended how it worked.
"Absorbing the vast and endless universal spiritual power to keep the array running is just a genius idea…" the headmaster said at one point when he realised this issue.
"It's not just that," Kong slowly shook his head. He already grasped such concept slightly faster than his friend, "the universal spiritual power contains all the elements in the world. So, no matter what element we use, it will get negated in the end."
"That's… It's brilliant, sigh! How come I never thought of something like this before?"
The concept was very simple and yet quite formidable at the same time. This made the two experienced spirit masters question why they never thought about it before.
It was too simple to be easily missed, which made them quite admirable towards William's master.
After all, the two never thought that William came up with such a genuine idea on his own.
"How to break such a thing then?" The headmaster already felt a great headache coming from this.
"If such a concept is known to the dark spirit masters… Then…" Kong's eyes suddenly flashed in cold light. And seeing his friend like that made the headmaster wrongly get what he truly meant.
"Don't! William isn't part of those bastards."
"I didn't think that way," Kong realised that his friend mistook his meaning, "I'm saying that if the dark spirit masters are using such a concept to conceal their bases and actions, then it explains a lot, right?"
The headmaster realised what Kong wanted to say. "You got a good point here. No matter how hard we tried, we couldn't even discover a single base of them."
"We need to learn how to break this array," Kong made up his mind, "even if we have to force this kid to tell us how to do it, it's a must!"
"Let's test things out ourselves first," the headmaster knew how crazy his friend would be if something piqued his interest. And from the tone, expression, and vibe he felt from him, he knew Kong already decided on learning how to break this array no matter the cost.
They started trying to break the array down to see what William was doing yet ended up wanting to unveil the mystery surrounding their deadliest enemies.
"What the heck is that?!!!" As the two lost themselves in their attempts to break the array, they never stopped watching William.
The moment William cancelled his array and started to collect his materials, the entire garden got revealed in front of the two masters' eyes, or what was left out of it.
What they saw was something quite shocking to the two. Devastation spread all over the garden, and the entire landscape changed too much for one night.
It wasn't right to call it a garden anymore. In their eyes, it was typically what was left after a long and brutal battle.
Holes, rubbles, even smoke rose from a few spots here and there… The entire garden was gone and even the wall around showed signs of getting affected as well.
Parts of the wall fell, and the other standing ones had scars and black marks over them.
"This…" the two exchanged silent and long gazes that were filled with doubts and tons of questions before they acted at the same moment.
*Fwoosh!* *Fwoosh!*
The two instantly flashed and appeared just outside the destroyed garden, observing the immense damage around. "My beloved garden…" the headmaster felt real pain when he watched the gruesome look of his place.
At this moment, William entered the building without feeling anything. The gap between him and these two was already too much for his senses to feel their presence.
"This kid… Great!'' Unlike the troubled headmaster, Kong felt more excitement when he saw this scene, "let's go. He didn't leave for long and traces for what he was doing here are still lingering around. Let's see what we can get."
"Ok…" the headmaster was still fuming with rage inside about the current state his garden ended up in.
If not for the two keeping tight eyes around William and this place, the headmaster would have suspected that enemies infiltrated through this place and tried to kill William.
"This… It's a lightning element!" The first spot Kong reached was the deepest point of the hole in the middle of the garden.
He knew to leave behind such a deep scar, a formidable attack should be used there. And that was why he selected this spot to first examine it.
He released his spirit power and started to feel the area in a thorough way. What he found was something he wouldn't mistake, and it even managed to change his face as a look of real shock appeared.
Elements like fire, wind, earth, and wood were considered common elements. They were found anywhere, and most of the spirit masters and families were able to use one or more of these.
Just like Kong's family and clan, they could use the fire element, with variations of spirits that could use earth and wind elements. But elements like lightning, ice, darkness, and light were considered extremely rare and pretty much precious.
Meeting someone using one element of those might not happen even once to any spirit master. And right now, Kong felt the presence of one of these elements in the traces left by William.
"Who is this kid?!" Kong muttered to himself, greatly doubting what he learnt about William so far.
