Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master
Chapter 64 - 64: A Mysterious Background

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 questioning what he learnt about William so far, "he is far more mysterious than what I initially thought!!!"

All this time he believed that William was acting in such a way thanks to his master. But no matter how formidable one's master was, they couldn't change the elements one could yield.

Elements were related to spirits, and according to what he knew, William didn't have a strong spirit at all.

He came from a weak and poor family, one that didn't bring any spirit masters for hundreds of years. Most of their members worked as porters in the academy for generations, never managing to leave a name for themselves.

No matter how Kong tried to see this, it was clear that this was William's own trait. Kong tried to test the traces again and again, and he reached the same conclusion every single time.

"A kid who was a porter for five years ending up being a bronze spirit master in a few days is hard to believe… But for a porter to have a spirit with a lightning element is impossible… Don't tell me he got a far scarier background that we don't know about…"

And just as he was trying to understand what was going on here, the headmaster whispered in his mind using spiritual telepathy, giving him another shocking piece of news.

"I found traces of light element! It's the light element!!"

*Fwoosh!*

Kong didn't stay idle for a single moment and instantly teleported to stand next to his friend.

There was another hole that appeared on the sloppy edge of the old garden. And there, Kong checked and felt what his friend told him.

"How can this be…" the headmaster also had the same line of thoughts like Kong.

"Go there and check that place out," Kong pointed towards the deepest point in the pit, "and try to control yourself, ok?"

Even if the two were standing just tens of metres away from where William was, they were concealing their presence and exchanging words using spirit telepathy.

But Kong expected how his friend would react when seeing the lightning element traces back there. It'd be just like what he was feeling right now, a shattering wave of shock was messing with his mind!

"That… That…" the headmaster said in a shaky voice while Kong motioned for him to control his composure.

It was indeed quite shocking for the two of them. But Kong didn't stop there and kept inspecting the entire place.

"These traces… He used a sharp weapon to cause these attacks…" The headmaster also followed suit and started to closely examine the marks left by William's sword.

"He got a sword, a fine one that he got from Ellina of the Forging department," Kong slowly explained as he witnessed William fight using his sword in the forest. And he got to hear the story behind this sword from Ellina herself.

"What was he trying to do here exactly?" After an hour of searching, the headmaster couldn't tell a head or tail about any of this, "and how come he has not only one rare element, but two?! Have you ever heard about something like that happening in the academy before?!"

Kong gave his friend a long look, as if he was saying this was your academy not mine, pal!

"This question can't be answered except by him," Kong slowly said, "it's rare to find such elements in a single spirit master, not to mention the two elements at the same time. We must have neglected something when asked about his background."

"What do you mean?" The headmaster was truly puzzled and confused by now.

"I believe he must have connections with a strong family, one that isn't around here. Imagine this, if his great grandfather married a girl from a mighty clan, her spirit elements and genes would get thinned with the new generation, right?"

"Possible," the headmaster was lost in thoughts, "if that's true, then he is one lucky kid to have all these genes awakened in his body."

"He is a gem," Kong's eyes shone brightly, "and we need to know which family he really got ties with."

"What do you have in mind?" The headmaster knew his friend wouldn't try to unveil such a mystery without having a reason behind it.

"He got a master, one who we never heard about before. And now he got a mysterious connection with a grand family away from here. Putting the two together will make us get connections with a strong family."

"Are you suggesting that such a master came from that family to help him? But why?"

"Perhaps he got more than what we discovered," Kong sighed, "I frankly don't know. When we discover his true identity, we'll have all these puzzles answered."

The headmaster could tell his friend's reasons went deeper than this. He knew what type of a man his friend here was after these years they both knew each other at.
