Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

*Rumble!* *Rumble!* *Rumble!*

All of sudden, the ground shook in an obvious way while distant explosive sounds started to appear from the distance.

It looked like the end of the world just arrived!

Everyone halted, even William and Kong stopped what they were doing and landed on the ground.

And then a heavy and suffocating silence prevailed over the young spirit masters here for a long minute.

"This… It\'s a bit early, right?" William turned to Kong and others, seemingly wanting to confirm that less than three hours had passed since they came here.

From Kong\'s words, he understood that they had more time on their hands. However, from what just happened, it seemed the battle had already started.

"I… Don\'t know…" Kong felt like he was the main suspect and couldn\'t help but speak in such a hesitant tone.

"It\'s alright…" William sucked in a deep breath, "if they came, then we got little time left… How many times have you covered the arrows and spears?"

William turned to ask Kong\'s men, Lang and his men. During this time, Lang\'s team ended their task of melting down everything and now we\'re helping Kong\'s team in their task.

"We were just in the fourth round," Lang looked at the spirit masters around. Everyone here was clansmen, and they knew each other.

"Four… Not bad," William thought for a moment, "we\'ll move when we make it to five. Go, let\'s race against time."

William didn\'t even pause when another shock happened and lots of fierce booming and rumbling sounds came from far once more.

"Aren\'t we going to join them?" Kong was slightly worried about the battle erupting at the gates of his clan.

"Don\'t worry, we won\'t take more than half an hour," William estimated, "then we will join them."

"And these?" Claine pointed at the tens of thousands of arrows and spears they were working on for the past hours, "are they going to cause something out there to help us or what?"

"They are going to help," William wielded his heavy hammer once more before starting to rotate it in full circles, "but it\'s not going to bring much damage actually."

"This…"

"Then why are we even doing it?"

"Isn\'t it better to go and help others?"

William heard many of such low tone exclamations, but he gave no heed to them. He already got much more than what he initially hoped for.

"If anyone wants to leave, he can do it now," William said while he jumped once, hit the material in the air, before landing and taking a step to the side, "but don\'t forget, we are all weak and won\'t do any help at all. In fact, being there might bring more trouble than help to the clan."

He didn\'t add more. His words landed and left many unsettled. Even the silver grade spirit masters weren\'t that highly effective in such a high grade battle.

Kong wanted to refute William, but from a single look at Lang, the latter warned him silently using his eyes to not delve into any argument with William or he\'d lose.

Lang tried more than once to stop William from doing this and miserably failed. Even when William himself said this wasn\'t going to do any damage to the enemy, the latter didn\'t stop in his tracks and kept working.

Even if what he said was true, in such a battle moving resources like arrows and helping in aiding the wounded wasn\'t a bad task.

It was also seen as a contribution in wars.

But William just said their help wasn\'t that much, and that meant one thing… He wasn\'t talking about their expected role in the battle. He was simply comparing this to what their contribution in his plan would do.

Spirit masters weren\'t stupid, and they got the hint from William\'s words. But they didn\'t get why he didn\'t state it directly to them.

"Keep working," Berry\'s voice rang to jolt everyone awake. Behind her words, the echo of the distant violent battle noise was acting as a scary background.

Berry was doing one simple task, raising the moulds high up and delivering the melted mix over to William and Kong. She also helped in adjusting the empty moulds position, before handing the finished lumps over to Lang and others.

As for Ary and Lina, the former worked with Lang and others, and the latter helped Berry in her task.

Seeing William, Kong, Lang, Ary, Lina, and Berry return to work as if nothing happened, others didn\'t have any say in the matter and resumed their task again.

One minute passed slowly after another while everyone was distracted by what was going on at the distant battlefield.

William knew if they were going to work diligently like before, then forget about half an hour, they\'d be able to finish this task in less than ten minutes.

But he knew it was impossible for such spirit masters to work with clear and concentrated minds.

They were quite distracted. And that was expected. After all, this ongoing battle was happening right before their home, the place they were born and raised at.

Anyone would lose his cool when placed under such circumstances. And that made William expect them to take half an hour to finish.

Eventually, they took close to one hour, exceeding even his estimation by fifty percent.

"Good work," William knew that they wasted more than half an hour here than he expected. And he prayed the grand scheme of the monsters wouldn\'t start until he\'d arrive at the walls.

In fact, he was praying for his conjectures to end up being wrong in the first place and none of all this would be needed.
