He got lots of things in a short time, and his name spread far and wide. He forgot about what his team did, but now he recalled it and decided to teach them a proper lesson in the next adventure.
William then took a stroll around the guild, inspecting the other six buildings in his territory. They were all normal looking buildings, without anything special about them as Thomas already said.
Then he got to meet up with folks from Blue Hammer and Seven Heaven groups. He just left Remy and Thomas to deal with them, giving them the things he already prepared before.
William didn't need to do anything at all for now. Remy and Thomas were handling the applying requests from different teams and spirit masters, handling the supply routes of materials, while his vice leaders and Ibra were scanning the new recruits, looking for real talents.
As he saw there was nothing for him to do here, he decided to retreat inside the hole. He left a word behind that he'd be quite busy for the rest of the upcoming five days. And then he reached the rocky place down below.
"It's time to find a suitable technique for my spirit and spirit purity," William sat on the ground cross legged, and started to go through everything he knew so far about the suitable techniques for him.
He had three elements right now, but he'd aim to gain more in the next adventures. So he had to make sure he'd select the most suitable techniques to learn. Or else he'd waste lots of time without moving much forward.
"For my spirit purity, I can go with The Heavenly Platinum Cleansing technique…" he got done with selecting such a technique fast. And that was thanks to the limited list of the initial techniques to begin with.
If he trained over this technique, then his spirit purity level would keep rising up till the highest grade. Not to mention this method required not much of materials to be used, not too much of requirements actually.
It just required lots of monster cores to be used and absorbed by the user. And for William, he found this condition a bit easy to satisfy.
This time he didn't need to kill any monster personally to get the cores. He simply would purchase tons of cores when needed and use them when he reaches the transition periods between stages in his spirit purity.
Not to mention he was going to adventure outside, ending up gathering lots of cores for sure. He previously wasn't interested in collecting these cores. But now things had changed.
"First the incantation…" he recalled everything about this technique before finally muttering the long incantation. When he got done with it, he felt like a warm heat enveloped his body from deep within, as if his spirit itself was rejuvenating about this technique.
Then he took out a small part of the cores that he gained from the rings he checked their content before. All the rings he acquired before coming to the fort contained lots of cores, and that made things quite easy for him right now.
That reminded him that he didn't yet check over the newly acquired rings. And when he saw how grand his collection was, he decided to do it after trying out this technique and thinking about his training manual problem.
"Quite fierce!" he sucked in a deep breath after a few hours of training over this technique, "if I kept training on it for a few hours every day, then getting to the next stage won't take a few months…"
He was lost in thoughts before shifting his attention towards the most annoying issue, his training technique.
William thought deeply for hours about this but didn't get anything useful except for one crazy idea.
"It's better to try and come up with new techniques…" He decided to do this based on element affinity. For example, light and lightning would work better with fire and wind spirit elements. As for his darkness, it'd be good to mix it with Earth, metal, and even time elements. Special elements like space and illusion were better to mix together.
"Like this… I'd end up with just three up to five grand techniques to train in all the elements that I'll get…" he knew the most he could harness was nine elements only. He wasn't the real fox, and so he wasn't able to train in more than this.
He planned to add only special elements into his spirit, and that meant he'd consume three more slots at least for the space, time, and illusion spirit elements. The rest of the slots would be left for fire, wind, Earth, and metal.
He didn't know that his current line of thoughts was wrong! And later on, he'd discover this the hard way.
"I can merge these techniques and come up with a new one… I hope this works out in the first attempt," he muttered to himself, while recalling lots of training manuals in his mind.
All the manuals he knew were enough to take any spirit master to stages beyond those known in this tiny world. But to William, he only selected those who could take him all the way to the highest grade out there.
Even when he thought in this way, the list he got was crumbled with lots of training manuals. William was more acceptable to using the old method in raising up his strength.
After all, even if the Devour ability of that fox monster was scary, it had its own limitations. William was sure his rise in power would always stagnate at the later stages of any grade. Not to mention when arriving at the top of the gold grade, he'd hit a damn wall.
Finding dark gold monsters was a hurdle in itself. Not to mention their overall number wasn't that huge to begin with. William would be lucky if he stumbled across a gathering of those like when a tsunami of scarlet monsters targeted the Long clan. Yet he knew dreaming about such a thing to happen wasn't going to make it actually happen.
