"The feeling of security and achievement can be a double-edged weapon," William said, reading their minds like open books. He stepped to the edge of the stage to clarify his point.
"The sheer number of masters each faction has gained and the huge success you've achieved lately, can be intoxicating. It can lead to deterioration of the spirit and a softening of the will.
We cannot afford to be soft. So, instead of these bloated, independent factions, we will rebuild the entire concept into two primary streams: the Black and Golden Faction Tails."
He began to explain the new architecture of power. The Black Faction Tails would include any spirit master from any faction who had reached the absolute pinnacle of the Dark Gold spirit grade and was on the cusp of ascension.
These would be the strike force, the masters who would join the rigorous, high-intensity training with the Blue Purgators to overcome the final bottleneck.
