Reincarnation Of The Strongest Spirit Master

"They are immune to attacks?" Fang spoke about how faster they became, how they moved daringly over the ground, and how they could sense the presence of isolation arrays. These were all old news to William, yet the last part wasn't.

"I can't tell the reason, but I saw many masters launch many attacks and techniques, yet all ended up with nothing," Fang sighed, "it's like the monsters would get hit, yet no damage would be left behind… Weird…"

"Indeed," even William felt intrigued by this.

"That made the underground city a forbidden zone for all masters," fang sighed in a depressed way, "we can't even tell if the materials are still coming after what happened down there or not. Even if materials are there, we don't have any means to get any…"

"You know how important materials down there are," William interrupted him, looking at Fang in a meaningful way.

"What do you want me to do?" The latter got the message from William, and yet shrugged, "the place down there is a death trap."

"I'll check it later," William waved his arm, "till then, you shall form a team and try to gather any intel you can from down there."

"You want me dead this badly? What did I ever do to you? Did you forget? I saved your life back there!"

"I said I'll go myself down there and check the situation later," William rolled his eyes, "how can I want you dead by sending you there? I'm still in love with my life and won't throw it away as well."

"..."

Fang wanted to refute back what William said, yet William took one material out from his rings, and threw it in the air, "you think these are infinite? We have little supply, and sooner or later we'll run dry and will have nothing left."

"..."

Fang gulped while looking at the material William took out. He recognised it, as it was one of the needed materials for the lightning formation.

William's message was clear, if they didn't solve this problem down below, then Fang should kiss goodbye to any dreams about using that terrifying formation anymore.

Fang already used most of the materials he got from Lara back then. And he couldn't get anymore, as Lara stated it clear without securing a path into the underground city, all the current materials would be locked up and saved for future generations.

"I'll do my best," Fang succumbed at last to William's wish, "shall I select people from the guild or outside?"

"Select whoever you feel is right to recruit," William didn't care about this point, "I need as much intel as you can get me. Keep me informed if you find anything new."

"And you?" Fang didn't speak too much about this point, instead gave William a deeper look, "don't tell me you are going to sleep and rest while I work."

"I have another task," William moved his eyes away from Fang, looked at Sara and added, "gather the Black Tails team, in addition to the special talents from the Golden Tails team."

"Training?" Sara's face beamed with a bright smile, and William nodded.

"It's time to get you all on a long and hard training period."

"At last!"

"Finally!"

"Can I bring the good lads in my team?"

"How about my faction? Am I allowed to select a few from them?"

Many spoke, mainly in celebratory tone, while few spoke about the possibility to bring more masters from those following them in their factions.

"As long as they are in the Golden Tails team, you can select from them," William calmly said, "but… Don't overdo it, I'll only select the best to train, not just anyone."

"You are pampering them," Fang snorted, "if I were them, I'd select most of my faction's top masters. I visited the guild you built when you were sleeping like a baby, and you have gathered many little monsters here."

"I'll accept any monster to train," William laughed, taking Fang's words as a compliment instead of a criticism.

"Then you'll be busy for the next few years," Fang raised a fist in the air while walking away, "don't forget, you still have something to do, a world to visit."

"I never forgot," William muttered while watching Fang's back vanish, "you have five days to test and select whoever you want. However… If you misused this privilege, delivered fucked up talents and masters, I won't let you off the hook."

"We'll select the best," Lang confidently said, "let's go, we'll show him how strong our factions are."

"You and you, stay behind," just before everyone would leave, William pointed towards three in specific and asked them to stay behind.

"Me?"

"Me as well?"

"Yes, I didn't want to leave in the first place!"

The three were Angelica, the one who jumped in joy and a childish way when William pointed towards her. She even ran and jumped over him, giving him a bear hug that made him chuckle regardless of anything else.

As for the other two, they were Thomas and Moore.

"Why these three in particular?" Berry gave the innocent looking Angelica a staring gaze, while William couldn't help but inwardly smile.

"These three are without factions," William calmly said, "or do you think I never knew how you built and raised factions? Go, leave these three with me."

"Lucky them," few muttered while leaving, while William only watched them leaving without saying anything back. He knew people in his Black Tails upper echelon were either having factions or being part of one. But the story was different for these three.

Angelica came with him from the other world, didn't have any faction, and even no friends. As for the other two, Thomas didn't even try to build any faction for himself. He saw nothing good coming out from competing with others. Not to mention he doubted he'd find anyone else having the same or quite similar abilities like him.

Moore was a slightly different and special case. Even after all this time, many still looked and acted in a hostile way towards him. So, it was impossible for him to establish his faction even when he tried to make one.
