Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 101 - 101: The Fourth Elder

The fourth elder was strong, and he got confidence that stemmed from his true abilities without any illusion of arrogance or greed for power.

"Are you crazy?!" When the fourth elder heard half of the story, he couldn't help but look at Berry and William while speaking in such an enraged way, "this isn't the time to play hero! This is a monster tide, a big deal! You should be hiding in safety, not even risking yourselves and standing out here."

With his words, a hidden pressure was exerted over William, one that was able to render not only bronze spirit masters, but even silver spirit masters scared.

He was a dark gold spirit master. Even if William felt he wasn't as strong as Callom or Gran, he wasn't that far off from them.

"Sorry about that, elder, but we have something to do, something that will help the clan," Even if he was faced with the pressure of such a formidable figure, William didn't show any sign of distress as his words came out quite calm.

"You…" against what the fourth elder expected, the lad in front of him remained calm as if he was a grounded mountain.

But that fourth elder wasn't shocked as he should be.

William didn't know, but this specific elder was present when he went to meet the academy headmaster. He saw it all, stood on the side in silence watching the show unfolded in front of his eyes.

And to be honest, William left a good impression on him when he dealt with his accusations. And when that ruckus occurred about the food incident and that nasty poison, that impression deepened.

The fourth elder didn't watch the entire incident from the start, and just jumped with others later on. Yet just from the fact that William was adept in recognising and discerning poisons was indeed enough to make him have a good impression about this lad.

One had to know that poison stuff was a very hard and tricky field in this spirit world. Not to mention a bronzed spirit master, even someone like him, a dark gold spirit master, wouldn't dare to call himself an expert at poisons.

Yet William managed to do something unexpected and dealt with a poison that neither he nor the academy headmaster seemed to recognise.

On top of that, this lad was still eleven years old! Which made him wonder about where and when he learned all this.

When he got back, he got to learn about the news spreading inside the higher up circle. He heard about William's deeds, and that mysterious master backing him up.

So even if William was laying low in the academy, which was the only reason the knowledgeable fourth elder would think about, it didn't mean he wasn't without a formidable backing.

All of that made the fourth elder focus his eyes over William rather than Berry. Of a reason, he felt like this kid was the one behind all this.

"William, he is our fourth elder, one who is famous for his unorthodox method of cultivation and fighting, and he is known as the clan's professor and tutor," from the side, Berry didn't know about any of what was inside that elder's head, mistook his silence to be a sign of discontent.

He wasn't mad, he was just testing this lad. But Berry's kind heart couldn't see William getting on the bad side of being so strict and harsh to deal with elder.

Making problems with other spirit masters in her age was something, and a conflict with an elder was something else. Especially at such a hard time, when her father, uncle, and grandfather were all busy with many grave things.

"So, you are saying that what they are making here is much more important than saving their lives?" The fourth elder didn't show any expression on his face, and simply decided to see what William intended to do here.

Instead, he waved his hand to silence Berry and stop anyone from interrupting him, while his gaze fell on William like they were penetrating through him.

"Well… I won't dare to say we are going to fight and win everything by ourselves, but what we are going to do here will play a great role in that."

"What?!" this time, the fourth elder couldn't control his surprise and doubt. He heard William's words.

"Are you implying that our clan is going to fail in defending this monster tide?" Without showing any sign of rage, the fourth elder turned his entire focus over William. And yet the pressure he exerted seemed to grow by several folds.

Saying these words meant one simple thing; that lad was saying that his clan wasn't able to defend itself. And such a statement would be considered an outrageous claim anywhere anytime it'd be said at. Not to mention it was said right in the heart of the clan's homebase.

"Sigh! I know if I explained you won't get it," unlike what others expected, William didn't even explain anything, simply shook his head and spoke as if he was speaking to a foolish kid.

For William, he decided to ignite this elder's curiosity to know more by acting like this. After all, meeting this elder was a golden chance. He wanted more help, and if he managed to convince this elder here, he'd get all that he wanted.

He didn't just want to save the clan, he wanted to exterminate that monster outbreak coming here down to the last monster. Doing so was the only insurance William thought about to make the academy and other clans safe, making his future life here secured.

"Lad! I can mind anything but words filled with arrogance and ignorance! My clan isn't weak! My clan is strong enough to fend off monster tide grade three alone, without the need of risking the lives of our kids!"

Just like how everyone from the Long clan expected, the fourth elder showed the dignity of such a strong clan.

Amidst the elder's words, the pressure coming at William became even worse.

"What if I told the elder that the incoming monster outbreak isn't as simple as tier three?"
