Chapter 181 You Failed!

"It's a technique that aims at using one's spirit power to channel it through one's fist…" William paused, while surprisingly shaking off his head, "but this common theory is all wrong."

"Wrong? You were doing fine just now," the master seemed to see a disciple saying something good before ruining it the next moment. He couldn't help but sigh when William added:

"It's not used to channel the spirit power at one's fist, or even arm. In fact doing this will take much of the technique's power. The right way to do it is by following the common way in channelling spirit power, throughout the entire body. Like this, the power will gather up more momentum and the fist will release mightier power."

"This…" the master seemed to get surprised before William added: "In addition to that, this technique requires strong building for arms. But that isn't at all. It also requires a strong base for legs as well. After all, if one isn't firmly standing his ground, how come he'll release a mighty punch from his hands?"

"Wait a second…" the master suddenly started to take deep breaths before he stood his ground firm, bent his knees slightly, before his body started to shine in dark gold light.

He was following the same way William described to unleash this technique, not the way he knew about how to execute this technique.

'He is a dark gold spirit master,' William's eyes shone when he spotted this. The master was using his instructions to try out the modified version of the technique.

*Boom!*

Just releasing a single punch created an explosion at the nearby wall. The wall cracked and suddenly fire engulfed the opening, spreading all of sudden as if it got a sudden burst of energy.

Fire crawled on the wall like it was a tsunami wave. In the next few seconds, the entire wall got scorched hot and fire engulfed everything in mere seconds.

"Nice," the master stopped his technique. William got the feeling that this master held back his power, and that was something expected. Even when holding back, the master ended up blowing a hole in the wall.

This wasn't an easy matter, but for the master it looked like it was nothing.

The spirit masters in the hall seemed to grow scared from such deadly fire. They recalled the time when the master demonstrated this technique and it was no way scary as this one.

William nodded in satisfaction inside. He knew this was just a simple modification he did to the technique and not the entire full and powerful version of it.

The technique required a few more changes regarding spirit gates in one's body. But speaking about such advanced knowledge was something William refrained from or else he'd raise more suspicion about him.

"Your version is much better than mine," the master said in an excited tone, "great! You passed my first question."

Just like that he ignored all the damage this technique brought and turned to Guanin to ask his second question.

"Fail!"

"You did great! You pass this as well!"

"Fail!"

"Damn! This simple modification turned this technique upside down!"

"Fail! Don't you have any honour or dignity? If I'm you, I'd better go away and never show my face ever again!"

"Impressive! I like this version of yours more than the standard one."

Just like this, the master kept moving back and forth between William and Guanin before he finally decided to let Guanin down and not ask him anymore.

In fact he grew interested in William. Every single question he asked was answered with a little modification from William's vast knowledge and rich fighting experience.

This wasn't something simple. And every single time he tested the new changes out. William's changes were regarding the channelling of energy at most parts, something that could be explained as his own effort in testing out new ways for these ancient and common techniques.

Besides, he had the ultimate card of his hidden and formidable master if anyone thought to follow this matter deeper.

Just by revealing only the tip of the iceberg, William was able to secure an easy win here and in return he ended up securing his own secrets.

The master kept testing out his own modifications one time after another.

In the end, the entire back of the class showed many holes, black leftovers and marks by thick tongues of flames and different attacks that fell over

The poor wall. Not to mention these wide gaps at the ground from all the damage it received.

William looked at all this and felt this wasn't the right place for this master to test out his changes over the techniques. Yet it seemed this master was already so eager and quite impatient to try out all this right at the spot, and didn't even wait for the class to be over.

"Damn! And you call yourself a freshman? Tell me then, from where and whom did you get such knowledge?"

The master didn't need to ask as he knew the true identity and background of William. he knew that he started with a porter, and ended up as a bronze ranked spirit master in mere days.

He pulled a miracle back at the Long clan. William didn't know this, but this master was part of the team who went to help the clan, coming from the academy.

"I have a master," William threw his usual answer, "and he is someone who you might not know."

"What a regret," the master's eyes dimmed slightly, yet from the reaction of his face William felt he was faking it. "Anyway, you passed and this useless kid failed… Go out right now, don't show me your face until next year starts."

"Master…" Guanin's face was now much darker than a piece of charcoal. William looked at him and could hardly control his laughs.

'You wanted to take a bite at me? You deserve what you got back!' he inwardly snorted while watching Guanin leave after leaving behind some threatening words like waiting for his patriarch's actions and such useless stuff.
