"You're the last one boy. Step forward. Hopefully, you wouldn't disappoint me."
Al looked at Su Yuntao and nodded as he walked towards him.
'Ready, El?'
((All set. But remember, you can't lose control, or even if the guy's blind, you wouldn't be able to hide it.))
Al nodded mentally as he took a deep breath.
Su Yuntao didn't bother saying anything else as he placed his hand on Al's back and met a pulse of Spirit Power into him, easily awakening Al's Spirit.
But what he and no one looking at the scene knew, however, is…
((Current RP 3…consuming RP…expanding…mutating…slotting…and…done!))
In the blink of an eye, the 3 RP he had saved up for a very specific purpose changed to 2, and then to 1. Consuming 2 RP in but a moment, even though he knew the purpose of the consumption, Al still felt his heart hurt.
'My precious RP…'
((Enough dramatics! Focus!))
He quickly focused his mind as he felt his Spirits respond to him, rearing to wake up and let the world witness their birth.
Yes, not Spirit but Spirits. Plural, for Al had awoken not one, nor two, but…
"This is…an egg?"
Su Yuntao scowled at the sight of the Spirit that appeared in Al's hand.
"An Egg Spirit…*sigh* Another trash Spirit. Forget it, you don't even need to get your Spirit Power checked."
Su Yuntao waved his hand in disdain before looking at the Meng brothers, Guo Liu, and the Xia twins with a wide smile.
"The seven if you are true geniuses! How about it, would you like to go to Spirit Hall? As long as you agree, the Spirit Hall will do everything to nurture you."
Al looked at them thoughtfully, and actually had a fleeting thought of sending them over.
'Although the Spirit Hall isn't my enemy…it might still restrict me. Not to mention, that trash 'Master' I want to kill…although Bibi Dong should hate him, if I actually kill him, I don't know hat her reaction would be…women are too difficult to understand, especially women in love or holding hatred in their hearts.'
Pondering over it for a moment, Al decided not to decide by himself.
{Ask him to give you some time. Say you'll go to Nuoding City in three months, and will give your answers to him by then.}
They did as said, and Su Yuntao nodded.
"Very well then. I shall wait for you answer there. Don't disappoint me, I have great hope for you!", Su Yuntao left his final words before walking out of the building to leave the village.
'Uh, yeah, sure…'
Al looked at the the 'blind' Spirit Grandmaster's receding back and felt his lips twitch.
'Blind…the guy's fucking delusional.'
. . . . . .
. . . . . .
"So what do we do, Boss?"
Al looked at the seven people who looked at him, waiting for his orders, and frowned.
"…decide by yourselves."
"Huh?"
Looked at their surprised and clueless expressions, he couldn't help but sigh.
'Sometimes, I can't help but feel like rather than brothers with max loyalty and little girls madly in love with me, they all are slaves that wouldn't dare go against my wishes…'
((Indeed. And that's one of the reasons the Relation feedback was set in place. After all, the name of the System is 'Relation System', not 'Slavery System'.))
Al nodded at Ella's words as he looked at the seven.
"I will tell you everything I know about the Spirit Hall, from advantages to disadvantages of joining it. And you have three months' time. So I want you all to think about your future, and make your own decisions on whether to join the Spirit Hall or not."
Al paused as he looked at their faces and smiled.
"Just remember, no matter how close or far we might be, no matter what we experience or who we meet, we'll always be brothers and sisters."
"Ah! But" "we don't" "want to be" "just your sisters!"
"…"
Al looked at the twins who immediately protested speechlessly.
'Really? Look at the occasion girls, such a solemn and touching moment…*sigh*'
"Well, let's start…"
The next few hours, other than extremely important stuff relating to the future like Spirit Hall's decisions, personal details about its main powerhouses, etc…, Al clearly explained the nature and advantages as well as the disadvantages of joining the Spirit Hall.
"After hearing all this, you should have a general idea on what to expect, right? No need to answer me now, you all have three months, so you can think about it slowly."
Looking at the thoughtful looking people before him, Al chuckled.
"Now that that's over! Why don't you experiment with your Spirits?"
""Yes!""
All of them answered simultaneously making him smile. After all, although they looked like adults, they were still 6 year old kids.
"Brother Yi! Come on, I want to see if your King Kong can withstand my Godzilla!"
"Hahaha! Little Er! How could your Godzilla compare with my King Kong!? Come on! Let your big brother educate you!"
"Brother Si, come, let my Spear compare with you!"
"Hehe, little Wu, you think too much! Your spear won't be able to do anything against me!"
The four Meng Brothers instantly brought out their Spirits, and the next moment, began fighting each other. And it wasn't 'playing around' like kids their age should, as they all used their various Artificial Spirit Skills, from 'Controlling Crane Catching Dragon' to 'Mysterious Jade Hand', 'Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track', and even 'Purple Demon Eye', genuinely fighting each other!
"Hmm…looks like the Spirits are pretty much the same."
Meng Yi with King Kong Spirit has high strength, defence, and can jump around a lot.
Meng Er with Godzilla Spirit has high strength and defence, but weak agility. But in return, he has a tail as an additional limb to attack with, and although he currently couldn't use it, he also had a powerful breath attack.
Meng Si with Gram had exceptional melee combat capabilities. Gram itself had the unique ability of changing its weight freely, not to mention, it can be charged with Spirit Power to release a wave of sword energy as a long ranged attack.
Meng Wu with Gae Bolg need not be mentioned. Although the never missing property of Gae Bolg is still locked, the spear itself as incredible sharpness and durability. Not only that, it also changed its weight and length to perfectly suit Meng Wu's hand, making it his ideal weapon.
"You two don't want to try it out?"
Al looked at Xia Yun and Xia Yan who didn't release their Spirits unlike the others, and instead walked towards him and sat next to him, taking his hands into their undeveloped bosoms.
"We are" "perfectly fine" "right here."
Al could only shake his head before he looked at Guo Liu fanboy over his Spirit Igris, and Tang San practice firing his two Spirits, which didn't really surprise the others since he and Al were the strongest of the bunch and, according to them, 'It is only natural for you to have two Spirits.'
"Then, I guess I'll take my own Spirits out…"
