Reaching this point made him see this entire map a bit differently. He didn't just have intel about the enemy's future plans, but the map showed the main places they took as the crucial knuckles in such a grand plan.
Taking these knuckles out, and the entire plan would fall on its own. William didn't know that by what he decided today, a grand wave of tsunami would overlap the entire world, with many spirit masters mimicking his actions here.
He also didn't know that there was a grand move going on towards the Aspire academy folks. Indeed, the dark spirit master community didn't initially plan to target the academy as he expected. But thanks to the incident he created, and the swarm of fire that erupted from the academy later on, the dark spirit master leaders decided to add this academy to their plans.
William's decision at this moment, in the underground cave in the unknown spot in the fort, would change everything. And he, the one who made it, wouldn't know about that.
"I have to go and start hunting the scattered dark spirit masters teams," he looked at the map, "and then when I'd add more dots to the map, I'll use the help of the Lockheart impact and their allies to start a huge counter war. But now… I have to raise my spirit power at all costs…"
William then returned to do his trials about his technique. This time he tried a totally different approach.
For any spirit master, he'd use training manuals to harness spirit power in the world around. And that was what William was trying to do all this time.
As spirit masters got different spirit elements, and all the elements were spreading all over the world, then by using training manuals they were gaining access to such an insane amount of power and absorbing parts of it.
However, that didn't mean the level of access for each element was the same! Spirit elements were just arranged as common, rare, and precious ones based on their value or percentage of occurrence. They also got divided in such a way based on their overall grade in the world.
That meant there was a huge difference between different spirit elements. And that was something William didn't realise except for now.
William decided to take another approach. Instead of doing the normal, struggling to match keys together to gain access to different spirit elements, he decided to do another thing.
"Rare elements can't be found easily in any monster… But common elements are…" William decided to not only use the help of the world rich spirit power to train, but also depend over the cores of monsters.
Like spirit masters, every monster got an element inside their spirits. And that was how William gained his three elements before. He was trying to find the right method to train light, lightning, wind and fire spirit elements together.
He was struggling as the keys for such high and common grade elements weren't going well along each other. He succeeded before in merging the keys of the light and lightning elements, forming part of his new training manual. After all, both were considered matching elements, and ones of the highest-grade spirit elements in the world.
But when he tried to merge fire and wind with these two, he always failed. And now he realised that the main reason behind this lied in the difference in quality between spirit elements.
But now he changed all of this. Instead of struggling to do the impossible, he started to do something else. He left the part he succeeded before untouched and started to take care of the part related to fire and wind elements.
He made a formula to absorb monster cores with such elements, make the best use of their element stored in each core, to elevate his spirit power.
This might look a bit complicated to do, especially when he had to match all this together. But to William, it was much easier to do than to match the keys of all the four elements in one manual.
"I've succeeded!" In just less than ten hours, he finally managed to make a new training manual from scratch. Half of it was directed towards absorbing light and lightning elements from the world around, while the other half would enable him to consume cores with fire and wind elements.
"But I have to use both at the same time, or else I won't be able to train in it… I have to test it, yet before that… I have to give it a name…" he knew he made something cool. And so, he decided to find a good name for it.
"Light comes from the sun, lightning comes from the storm, fire comes when lightning strikes the ground, and wind will get affected by the sun… So let me call it the Legendary Storming Sun manual!"
He didn't miss to plan steps for it to make him reach the pinnacle of power in the outer world. And so it got the privilege to be named legendary.
As he decided on this name, he started to give it a test. And just by muttering the incantation, he felt like a door got unlocked in his spirit and body, with torrents of power swarming him.
He already selected the cores that got fire and wind elements inside. He got lots of cores to select from and didn't care about the grade of these.
He wasn't going to directly devour these cores and add their inner spirit power to him. Instead, he was going to absorb their elements, deplete them from all the cores, and then turn all this into pure spirit power by the help of his training manual.
No matter how he looked at it, he knew the amount of spirit power he'd gain wasn't going to be like directly devouring these cores.
So he surrounded himself with hundreds of these cores, made sure to divide them equally between fire and wind elements. But the thing he missed in all this was that his fox spirit didn't have any fire or wind element at all!
