Preparation, Legendary!

Two more days passed. 

William was currently finishing up a match with Yamato, the now Rank 10 Disciple on the Ranking Board. Yamato used various spells of the Plant Element to restrain William every time he tried to enter close combat.

William was actually quite impressed with Yamato's skill, who was an F Rank Plant Manamatus when he was younger. He always used the most precise amount of Mana to counter William's attacks, and once again the Meteor Spell was rendered useless when Yamato raised a large barrier made of wood amplified by a series of Basic Arrays.

William would have countered with the Plant Element of his own, but the Sect Master specifically ordered William not to use any more Elements that the world hadn't already seen. 

The fight ended after a few minutes of back and forth when Yamato ran out of Mana. Other than Hanzu, Yu Ren, and of course William, none of the Outer Core Disciples had combat strength in the Golden Core Realm.
