I'm idly munching on some breakfast the next day and planning my next course of action. Thankfully, it seemed that a good night's sleep was all I needed to remedy the aching and dizziness I suffered from in addition to my Spirit energy completely replenishing itself. Was it flowing slightly stronger? I'm not entirely sure, and I don't trust my new-found sense enough just yet to be certain, definitely something to keep an eye on looking forward.
I focus myself back to the matter at hand, and that was to figure out the aftermath of what had transcribe last night. Which I was currently experiencing right now.

Woah indeed, as I had apparently in a miraculous fashion awaken my spirit by myself and not just that, but I had also obtain another one, proudly becoming twin spirits holder.
From what I've found my newly obtained spirit works like a scanner and appears to be able to show me their rank and spirit. Although I believe my spirit can't scan someone who is a rank or two higher than me. But more tests are needed before I can confirm this theory.
Next up on my agenda for today is planning what to do now. The thing is, unlike Tang San; I don't have any sect knowledge to exploit and given my orphan background, I can assume that there would be no powerhouse to save me, when I encounter danger.
If I want to even the odds, I have to use the only leverage available to me, the great and mighty toddler physique and start training as early as possible, on all the things that I needed and would be extremely hard to learn later in life. I need to take advantage of my young brain and body, while they are still malleable.
First is Spirit energy: the primary currency of power in this world. I need to work on it daily and deplete my reserves, I'm pretty confident it works like a muscle, and I'm probably at a stage in life where it will be the most receptive to growth, subsequently increasing my potential later in life and allowing me to rely on high-end techniques. I reason I'll use Spirit energy control exercises for the added benefit of improving my Spirit energy control, besides the increase in efficiency it could also open a lot of doors whenever I decide to take up any of the more delicate arts.
Secondly, building up a robust body as a foundation for acquiring limit breaking rings later on. In addition I would also like to acquire an amazing level of muscle control from this experiment; from what I had learnt from a bio course, is that a hand preference usually starts to develop between the ages of 2 to 4. So theoretically I could be both ambidextrous and ambipedal.
Finally, I want to be able to reconstruct a few anime techniques. My hope is that combining my training in Spirit energy and body training will allow me to successfully create some of the iconic techniques, although I am a bit sceptical if a majority of them would be plausible in this world.
Unfortunately, this is about the extent of the things I'll be able to train at this point given the resources that are available to me here in the orphanage… Wait.. Damned my Homo-erection brain!
How could I have almost overlooked the most important factor of an orphanage…
The Childrens!
I am sure that there must be a few hidden gems as they say, here in the orphanage and unlike others powers, I have the capability of sniffing them out.... Well scanning them in my case.
I wake myself up from my ruminating and look up from my bowl to search for my future minion.

Names and faces flew past my mind but none of them were noteworthy; the highest I found was a rank 7 but even then it is useless as I have no idea what their spirit would be.
Just then, as I was slowly falling into a depressive state. My eyes wander towards the left-hand corner of the room; there sitting side by side with their backs turned to me, were two girls. The one on the left had a long flowing blue hair, while on the right had a long silver hair.
While their exotic coloured hair is definitely interesting, it was their names that shocked me to the very core.

Name: Wang Qiu
Spirit rank: 10
Spirit: unawaken

Name: Gu Yuena
Spirit rank: 10
Spirit: unawaken

The silver dragon king and the Auspicious Emperor, both were top level individuals with Gu Yuena being a guaranteed God level character.
Questions started springing up again, like 'When and where am I?' As from what I knew, Wang Qiu belongs to the second novel, while Gu Yuena appears in the third one, in addition to all that I am also currently possessing a character which is part of the first book.
I took a deep breath to calm myself down and refocused on my thoughts, calculating and theorizing the possible paths I could take . I guess it really doesn't matter where or when I'm in, what matters most right now is to gather all power within my reach, so that I can survive and thrive in this cruel world.
All I know is that, 'Morals be damned!' that's for sure. As in the face of survival kindness and justice are non existent. And my first step of doing that is to grab hold unto those two girls and keep them close, preferably as close as being lovers. Because from what was shown in the novel, those two quite literally has an undying support for their lovers, to the point of being self-sacrificing, which would be a win for me.
Although I can dress it up and justify how this is all a necessity, it still doesn't change the fact that I am, without any doubt, planning on grooming these girls...or woman? I still don't know if they have their memories intact or not. I digress, in any case if I were given another chance; I would still stand by my decision of grooming these girls, as it truly does offer me the best odds of survival and I would gladly face the consequences that come with it.
Gathering my bearings once more, I stood up, picked up my plate and strolled along to where they were sitting. I greeted them with a smile and start up a conversation.
"Hello, can I sit here?"
