Chapter 8 - Twin Spirits

When the light died down, Daniel finally came into the view of Ning'er and the spirit master. They were not able to see any changes on Daniel except that his eyes seem to shine an unnatural glow. Upon meeting their eyes with Daniels Thayer felt as if all their secrets were open in front of him and that their death is certain.

For a moment the spirit master felt that he was not standing in for the of a boy of 6 years old but in front of a monster that could kill him anytime it so wishes. All his instincts were telling him to run right this instant. That feeling passed eventually. After the feeling passed he was surprised but managed to push his thoughts to the side.

For Ning'er there was no feeling of looming death but one of protection. She felt if anybody so dares to hurt even a single hair of her head then they will die for certain. She was happy her brother was so protective of her but sometimes wished it was not only her relying on her brother but also her brother relying on her. She once again affirmed in her mind that she will grow stronger so that her brother can rely on her too.

For Daniel the moment passed both very quickly and very slowly. In the moment he was bombarded with the knowledge of his spirit eyes. It seems that the eyes of death perception were more powerful than he expected. At his current state he can only use his eyes of death perception for a measly 9 seconds before he is out of fuel as spirit energy. The rest of the time his eyes will act as normal spirit eyes so it's not like he was powerless, even 9 seconds is very good because in a fight, a single second is more than enough. And a normal spirit eye will also not be bad for the most part. After all its potential was shown in Douluo Dalu 2 by Huo Yuhao.

"It seems that your spirit is spirit eyes. Not good but not bad. You will be at a disadvantage against other spirit masters but it is still better than blue silver grass and other junk spirits." The spirit master replied while showing a slightly disappointed expression.

"Alright then let's check your spirit essence and get this done." The spirit master says so while handing Daniel a glass orb. As soon as Daniel touches the orb it lightens up and also lights up the room.

"Heavens! A full innate spirit body. Such a shame that you have a full innate spirit body while having such a mediocre spirit." The spirit master says. "Oh well, this is it. Off you go."

"Thanks for your help, spirit master sir. Come Ning'er say your thanks and then let's leave. I still have to treat you." Daniel says while inwardly thinking how his spirit change will effect his plans. After making some minor adjustments such as delaying the creation of his knife, he corrected his plans.

"Thanks for helping." Ning'er says while inwardly thinking that the spirit master must be a dumb person for considering spirit eyes as a weak spirit. After all her brother has taught her about different types of spirits including body spirits and specifically the spirit eyes mutation. It is a spirit that starts out weak but as long as correct mental attribute spirit ring are added it can grow really strong. What Ning'er does not know is that her brother has taught her from information that is tens of thousands of years ahead of current understanding, so her understanding regarding the spirits and constituting material is higher than most other people including spirit masters. But she will not say anything to the masters face. After all it would be incredibly rude to do so and her brother has raised with manners.

After thanking the spirit master the pair of siblings left the spirit hall branch.

"Brother, why was the spirit master acting like you got a bad spirit. In fact you got a great spirit. With it you could become a great control system master." Ning'er says so starting questioning but ended excitedly. After all her brother becoming stronger is a thing to be excited about.

"He did so because he did not really understand the spirit, he thought that the spirit was weak." Daniel answered. "But that's all about the spirits. It is time to give you a treat and I promised that I would give you one after the spirit awakening."

"Yay brother! It's great you are giving me a treat. Just yesterday I heard about this great new place that opened up recently and wanted to check it but did not know when I would get the opportunity." Ning'er says excitedly.

"Alright then we are going there." Daniel says.

After that conversation the pair of siblings spent the rest of the day checking out places and exploring the city and having fun. For Daniel this was probably the last time that he would be able to have unrestricted fun like this in a while as his plans are starting the next day. But before that comes the mystery of his second spirit.

After tiring out Ning'er, while having fun exploring the city, Daniel finally came back to the orphanage with a very sleepy Ning'er in tow with him. After making sure that Ning'er is sleeping in her room, he came back to his own room and locked the door. Once making sure that no one will notice what he is going to do with his minds eye, he reached in himself and finally pulled out his second spirit. When he did so he was assaulted with knowledge of what his spirit is and he was surprised because instead of a single spirit, it is 2 guns. More surprisingly, it seems that the 2 guns a very similar to the Taurus Silver guns that Tatsuya used except they are black in color and decorated with red motif.
