As the strong momentum on Xiao Shi's body receded, the green rune wrapped Xiao Shi and then seeped into Xiao Shi.

At the same time, Hao Xuan also had a strange feeling in his heart, as if he could sense everything about Xiaoshi, even its joys, sorrows, and sorrows.

It's a feeling I haven't felt before.

Hao Xuan couldn't figure out the truth, but he could feel Xiao Shi's weakness.

He hurriedly walked over and picked up Xiaoshi in distress.

At this moment, Xiao Shi had fallen asleep, which made him feel even more guilty, but he could also feel that Xiao Shi was just asleep, and there was no other danger, which made him feel slightly relieved.

Calming down, Hao Xuan couldn't help but start thinking about what that yellow and green rune was, why it had submerged into Xiao Shi's body, and established a deeper connection between him and Xiao Shi.

The first thing that can be determined is that those runes definitely belong to his consciousness, from the void god space.

"Contract?"

Hao Xuan couldn't help but guess that although he had never signed a contract with other spirit creatures, the only thing he had ever heard of that could establish a close connection between spirit objects and himself was a contract.

Thinking of this, Hao Xuan looked at the sleeping Xiao Shi, and felt even more guilty in his heart.

He has always treated Xiao Shi as a relative, and he has never had the slightest idea of signing a contract to control Xiao Shi, and even Xiao Shi wants to stay in the void god space, which is also voluntary.

"If it's really a contract, why didn't you sign it when you first absorbed Xiaoshi?" Hao Xuan couldn't help but be a little puzzled.

But then he figured it out, at that time, he had just begun to cultivate, the void god space had just opened up, and the Dao might not be very complete.

The most important thing is that his fusion with Xiao Shi at that time was very incomplete, and this time he completely fused with Xiao Shi, and even Xiao Shi swallowed his bloodline essence in his body, which should also be one of the important reasons.

Thinking of this, Hao Xuan exhaled deeply.

Anyway, he wouldn't treat Xiaoshi as a pet.

Moreover, although he guessed that he had signed a contract, he did not have any other sense of control over Xiao Shi except that he had a deeper sense of it.

"I've heard that there are different types of contracts, some are master-servant relationships, and some are partnerships." Hao Xuan muttered: "It is very likely that the yellow rune with strong coercion before is a kind of master-servant relationship contract rune, and the green rune behind is just a reciprocal partnership, which means that you can never betray the other party." ”

Thinking about this, Hao Xuan's heart felt heavy, and he finally relaxed a little.

However, he remembered the momentum that Xiao Shi had just revealed on his body, and he still couldn't help but be shocked.

But Hao Xuan definitely can't figure out this matter at the moment, "Maybe it has something to do with Xiao Shi's life experience." That was the only guess he could draw.

Hao Xuan next probed his current strength, but he couldn't help but gasp, he was shocked.

"The peak of the seventh-level Xuanshi is only one step away from the eighth-level Xuanshi!"

You must know that not long ago, he was still a second-level Xuanshi, and in a short period of time, he actually improved by five or six levels in a row.

"However, now my only martial art is the Whip Sword Technique, and my experience in combat needs to be improved."

Hao Xuan only thought of the problem of unstable foundation now, but even so, he was now confident that he could fight the peak of the ninth-level Xuanshi.

As for the Xuanshi powerhouse, now he has not tried the power after promotion, and he is still uncertain.

"Next, I'm afraid I have to find more battles, a solid foundation, and at the same time let my body adapt to today's realm in an all-round way and exert my greatest power." Hao Xuan thought in his heart.

Seeing that Xiao Shi was still asleep, Hao Xuan decided to take the opportunity to enter the cultivation room and practice again.

The jet-black spiritual power surged on the surface of his body, and it looked much more condensed and heavier than before.

"It's a pity, once the stone armor is used, it is too eye-catching." Hao Xuan was a little helpless, in many battles, if he could use the stone armor, his combat effectiveness would increase several times.

"Armored!" He let out a soft snort, the solid stone armor wrapped around his body.

"Huh?"

This time, he actually had a new feeling for stone armor.

Before, he just felt that he could connect, and when he wanted to change shape and move the stone armor, many times he had to rely on small stones to operate.

And now, Xiao Shi was sleeping, but he felt that the stone armor seemed to have become a part of his flesh and blood, able to change shape and move with his consciousness.

"Get bigger!" Hao Xuan tried it, and the stone armor really began to grow bigger as he imagined.

"Get smaller!" He continued to try, and sure enough, the stone armor became smaller again.

However, perhaps he was too excited, he didn't control his strength and time for a while, and the stone armor suddenly retracted and pressed against his skin.

However, the slight resistance came, and it did not bring any strong sense of oppression, and a part of the stone armor actually passed through his skin and merged into his skin!

Seeing this new change, Hao Xuan was stunned for a moment at first, and then became ecstatic.

He naturally thought of a crazy idea: if the stone armor was fused with the skin, or hidden under the skin, wouldn't his defense power be multiplied again?

Thinking like this, Hao Xuan couldn't sit still anymore and began to try.

The process turned out to be extremely simple, he controlled the stone armor to retract again, and the stone armor finally submerged under the skin and merged with his skin, but his skin also turned into a jet-black color.

But his spiritual power itself is jet black, so it doesn't feel too weird that his skin has become this color.

Looking at the skin that had become black, Hao Xuan could feel its strength.

He clenched his left hand into a fist and tapped his right forearm, and the sound of "bang, bang" came out, which made his eyes light up and he was pleasantly surprised.

Then, he took out all kinds of sharp weapons from the spatial ring, knives, swords, and iron thorns......

After the test, he was pleasantly surprised to find that no matter what kind of sharp weapon he was, even if he used a relatively large force to chop, he could only leave a shallow mark on the skin, and he would not be injured!

Where it was insignificant, it was that he still felt pain.

But Hao Xuan was already extremely satisfied, which meant that in the future battles, he would have a stronger defensive force, and his current appearance was equivalent to hiding the stone armor under a layer of skin.

However, Hao Xuan also felt that the defense of the fusion of skin and stone armor was still weaker than that of simple stone armor, and it could only exert about half of the defense power of stone armor, but this was already amazing.

"Since it is the result of the fusion of skin and stone armor, then this move will be called 'leather armor' in the future." Hao Xuan was casual and willful, so he gave his new skill a name.

Next, Hao Xuan practiced repeatedly until he was able to move the leather armor at will, and then he was satisfied with the next training.

His stabbing technique, the fourth-layer realm "arc thorn", has become more and more proficient as he has practiced during this time, but there will still be occasional failures, and the power and accuracy also need to be improved.

In the following time, Hao Xuan continued to practice the "Arc Thorn", and I don't know how long it took, anyway, Xiao Shi was still asleep, and he had already slept twice.

"Arc Thorn!"

In the cultivation room, Hao Xuan, who was sweating profusely, let out a soft snort, and the earth-splitting whip in his hand swung through a wide arc, and the tip of the whip carried the momentum of thunder, stabbing at a crystal wall on Hao Xuan's left.

At the moment before the tip of the whip was about to pierce the wall, the part of the whip that split the ground suddenly became straight and stiff, and then a sound of spiritual power exploding came out, and with a "bang", the earth-splitting whip pierced into the hard crystal wall!

It's a full eight centimeters into the wall!

"Whew, I finally practiced the arc spur to a certain temperature, and the power and accuracy basically met the requirements." Hao Xuan exhaled a breath of turbidity, withdrew the earth-splitting whip, and said with satisfaction.

"Boss!"

At this moment, Xiao Shi woke up and called him in the void god space.

Hao Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly entered the void god space, at this time Xiao Shi had fully recovered, but a pair of bean sprouts little hands scratched his bare head a little strangely.

"Boss, why do I feel a little strange, are you tired now? I can feel it. "Little Stone is strangely authentic.

Hao Xuan couldn't help but hug it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, I can also feel yours, don't do anything crooked in the future." ”

Hao Xuan finally told it about his guess about the contract.

"Sign it, sign it, boss, don't worry, if you follow me in the future, you will definitely not suffer." When Xiao Shi heard this, he said with a big grin, obviously in its opinion, Hao Xuan was its follower.

Hao Xuan saw that it was fine, and he didn't bother to mess with it.

"Now that I've advanced to the seventh level of Xuanshi, and my stabbing technique has also made great progress, it's time to find someone to fight and accumulate experience!" Hao Xuan dragged his chin and said.

"Who should I turn to?" Hao Xuan pondered for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he laughed: "Since Wu Qi has always wanted to deal with me, then let's help him fulfill his wish first!" ”
