"My buddy is just too much, I too shall never be left behind, this is the time our youth, the blood of a youth should be boiling with passion!!"
Wuying had already rescued the lady and disciplined the rogues severely.
Wuying inhaled and exhaled, calming himself down, he stood at the center of the busy road with everyone going about their daily business, his eyes fixated on nothing in particular amidst the busy road.
Suddenly, like a halo, two golden rings of light formed on the Iris of his left eye, with the smaller one inside the larger only.
Everything in the world seemed to change its nature as an ethereal flow of aura filled everywhere as if emanating from every entity, each with its own unique color.
Even the path that any creature left behind was swirling with a smoky ethereal aura, like an impression of an otherworldly trail.
"Auraprint is a unique energy signature of anyone, even family members could recognize each other auraprint, auraimprint is an impression left behind in the path of that person like a trail, a footprint of swirling aura that can be tracked.
Halo Iris enables a hunter to sense and see auraprint and auraimprint.
I and Xue Fang had become brothers, yet I'm unable to sense both his auraprint and aura-imprint.
Apart from acquaintances, Halo Iris would enable a hunter to sense aura-imprint only given the hunter had been in contact with the person or any of their possessions, this vision art has enabled my family to succeed in the bounty-hunting business for decades.
However, I can't even sense Xue Fang's aura-imprint"
Wuying was confused, he didn't know what to do, he brought out his phone, Xue Fang believed that he would track him with some technique, but here he was, thinking of using technology means, he looked utterly dumb.
***
Xue Fang continued strolling, then he heard a call entered.
"Xue Fang, umm, for some reason, I can't track you"
Wuying sounded utterly demotivated.
"You can't track me? But you said I should go on, I thought you could somehow know where I am"
At first, Xue Fang was confused, but slowly, he began to get an idea of what was going on.
'Somehow, he was unable to track me I guess'
'Wait, I will track you, don't move, wait for me!!"
Wuying sounded exasperated as if his patience had run short, and without second thoughts, Xue Fang responded:
"Okay, golden boy"
Xue Fang was confused, when Wuying said he should go on, he thought he could actually track him, but not with technology means like now, Xue Fang then switched on his location feature so Wuying could track him without any hindrance.
***
Wuying brushed past Xue Fang, walking fast towards a store at the front.
Although he needed no help anymore since Xue Fang had reached the destination, and upon seeing Xue Fang, Wuying had recognized the shop logo which he saw online when browsing avatar gears, however, deep down, Wuying felt embarrassed about the latest occurrence.
Wuying has been practicing Halo Iris since the age of seven and had managed to unlock two rings in his Halo Iris, yet he was still unable to see the faintest aura-imprint of Xue Fang.
Although compared to hunters who had unlocked ten rings, unlocking two rings is the precondition for sensing aura-imprint.
"It was like he is a corpse, or a shadow, a shadow is a moving entity without lifeforce"
Wuying hurriedly entered the store when he noticed Xue Fang catching up with him.
"I just disgraced my family back then, a two-ring bounty Hunter using device location to track a living creature, that shouldn't be heard anywhere"
As Wuying is a two-ring bounty Hunter, he still senior one-ring bounty Hunter, the number of rings a bounty Hunter has unlocked indicates their rank.
While a hunter would gain heightened perception when they unlock their first Iris ring, unlocking two rings would enable them to see auraprint and aura-imprint while the sensory abilities of those who had unlocked ten rings could be considered godlike, unlocking up to two could take as much as ten years of practice, except on certain conditions which could trigger an unlocking of an Iris ring.
While some people could confuse auraprint with aura, it should never be confused, auraprint is a unique energy signature of a person, such that when that person's presence is felt, one had known who exactly they are.
The shopman, upon noticing Wuying's appearance, greeted him earnestly.
He thought in his mind;
"This is someone from an influential city, I mustn't falter"
"Or could he have came from another planet? If so, I would make every second of this business worth it"
The fat man rubbed his palms together.
"Mr. Bao, long time no see"
Xue Fang made his way into the shop, not really disturbed about Wuying's attitude, he knew Wuying was the one to dwell on his mistakes or something like that.
"Huh??" Mr Bao gnashed his teeth upon noticing Xue Fang.
'This shitty kid is here? How did he know this young master, he would definitely foil my plans'
Some veins were becoming visible on Bao's forehead, signifying his increasing anger.
He could remember all that Xue Fang had made him pass through.
~Mr. Bao, one merchant is giving a 20% percent discount in the next street~
~Mr. Bao, one man is doing buy one get one free at Pearl Lake Road ~
~Mr. Bao, they are repairing this gear grade for free in the next junction~
And with all these pesterings, Mr Bao was forced to do the same, lest he lose all the customers that were there at that time to other merchants.
Xue Fang was also Mr Bao's regular customer, he bought some parts of specialized farming robots that needed to be replaced from him.
"Mr Bao, how have you been? Your shop has been filled to the brim, look at those newly released gears and parts"
Since it had been a long time since Xue Fang had come here, Mr. Bao had made quite more profit from his customers and stocked up his store.
"Shitty brat, Don't get friendly with me!!"
Bao gnashed his teeth furiously.
"Mr. Bao, I need this. Do you have it? I saw it online, but I was unable to order it due to a location problem. I came from Pearl Spirit City,"
Showing Mr Bao the image, Wuying spoke with absolute elegance, like one accustomed to the demeanor of a kid from an elite family.
"Oh! I'm so sorry about that. Our delivery service hasn't reached that far yet, but we are thinking of expanding and even establishing a branch in that city for our customers' convenience," Mr. Bao said, his rotund body nudging in between Xue Fang and Wuying.
