Just as Li Xuan's carapace was being repaired, a strange scene suddenly happened. Tiny specks of dust appeared where his carapace had shattered. The specks of dust mixed into the carapace and fused with it, making the carapace's repair speed even faster.
However, the repaired carapace was somewhat different from the other intact carapace. It suffused a strange metallic luster as though it was mixed with metallic sand.
This is … That Guardian … What does it want? Don't tell me it wants to occupy my body? Li Xuan was given a fright.
"It chose to use the drop of blood from before to contract with you and use this to escape death," the black-robed Chess Soul floated over and said to Li Xuan.
"Didn't you say that the contract can only be carried out with the consent of both parties? Why didn't I feel anything? "Li Xuan asked with a frown.
"A Guardian contract naturally requires both parties to agree, but under such circumstances, it no longer had the time to wait for your consent. Therefore, it chose a method that didn't require your consent," said the black-robed Chess Soul.
"Isn't this forcing itself on me?" Li Xuan said as he looked at the extremely discordant carapace on his body.
The parts that glowed with a metallic luster were like patches, and they didn't look good.
The black-robed Chess Soul said with a strange expression, "Typically, both parties have the right to terminate a Guardian contract at any time. However, under such circumstances, the Guardian's sacrifice is huge. Unless you are willing, it won't be able to terminate the contract with you. If you die, it will die. It can be said that you occupy the absolute dominant position."
"It sounds good, but isn't this a little too ugly?" Li Xuan still didn't like the carapace's current appearance.
"It's fine. It will continue fusing with your armor. In the future, when your armor is shattered and reconstructed, everything will become the same. Or perhaps you can wait a little longer. It was injured too badly just now, and its remaining strength is too weak. It can't completely fuse with it. After it recovers, even if your armor isn't shattered, it will completely fuse with it. When that happens, it will contact you," the black-robed Chess Soul continued.
"Since it's already like this, it looks like I can't reject it. I'll reluctantly accept it. By the way, what's this Guardian's name? "Li Xuan asked the black-robed Chess Soul.
"Alpha." The black-robed Chess Soul said its name.
However, even if he didn't say anything, Alpha would directly communicate with Li Xuan once he recovered some energy.
Zhou Wen listened by the side, unsure if he should congratulate Li Xuan on his good luck or feel sorry for him.
His Life Soul was problematic to begin with. Now, he had contracted a heavily injured Guardian. Furthermore, he didn't know what kind of contract it was that allowed the Guardian to fuse with his problematic Life Soul. He didn't know what would happen in the future.
"Thank you for your help. Alpha's mutation has exceeded my expectations. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have been the one defeated," the black-robed Chess Soul said to Zhou Wen.
"Why did you destroy it?" Zhou Wen asked.
The black-robed Chess Soul hesitated for a moment and said, "As you know, Alpha and I should be going to a dimensional zone in the West District. Although the two dimensional zones are both Chinese chess dimensional zones, the rules are completely different. Due to some accidents, Alpha and I came here. This accident was caused by Alpha himself. He has a problem and has already lost control. He's a defective product and can't represent our race in battle. In addition, after he came to Mt. Chinese Chess, he absorbed and fused with the power here. The problem with him is even greater. It's even more impossible for him to represent our race, so I can only choose to destroy him. "
Zhou Wen's expression turned even odder when he heard that. Not only did Li Xuan have a problem with his Life Soul, but even getting a Guardian was problematic. Who knew if anything would happen to him in the future.
"Please accept this. I'll be heading to the West District. If you come to the West District in the future, you can take this to the Black and White Chess Country dimensional zone. I'm willing to lead the way for you and contract my race's new Guardian." The black-robed Chess Soul took out something and handed it to Zhou Wen.
It was a white chess piece that looked like a king in a chess game.
"I'll take a look when I have the chance, but I might not be able to contract a Guardian." Zhou Wen accepted the chess piece.
"My race's Guardian is very compatible with your attributes. If you can fuse with it, you will definitely be invincible in this era. Please consider it carefully. I'll wait for your answer in the Black and White Chess Country," the black-robed Chess Soul said as he bowed slightly before leaving Mt. Chinese Chess.
The group continued on their way and quickly left the Mt. Chinese Chess dimensional zone. Zhou Wen searched along the way, but unfortunately, he didn't see the tiny palm symbol.
Zhou Wen didn't take what the black-robed Chess Soul said to heart. The black-robed Chess Soul had only said that because his Companion Beast was powerful. Zhou Wen was certain that he didn't even know what attribute he had or what Essence Energy Art he cultivated.
Ignoring the fact that Zhou Wen didn't plan on contracting a Guardian, even if he really wanted to contract one, he wouldn't choose the Black and White Chess Country's Guardian.
However, if he had the chance, he could head to the Black and White Chess Country to take a look. Perhaps there would be a tiny palm symbol. It would be good for an instance dungeon.
In the next few days, they didn't encounter any accidents. Occasionally, dimensional creatures would appear, but their levels weren't high. They could be easily dispatched.
However, for some reason, Feng Qiuyan spoke even less along the way.
Zhou Wen imagined that it was because he was homesick, but Li Xuan could tell what was on Feng Qiuyan's mind. However, it wasn't convenient for him to say anything.
"Coach, can I ask you a question?" Feng Qiuyan suddenly came to Zhou Wen's side and asked with a solemn expression.
"Can't you just say it? Why stand on ceremony with me?" Zhou Wen said with a smile.
Feng Qiuyan looked at Zhou Wen and asked, "Coach, you don't plan on contracting a Guardian, right?"
"Not at the moment," Zhou Wen answered.
"But if you don't contract a Guardian, a Perfect Body Life Soul is already the end of humanity. What's the next step?" Feng Qiuyan asked.
Zhou Wen couldn't help but be taken aback. He didn't immediately answer. He planned on attempting to advance to the Mythical stage with the Lost Immortal Sutra, but Feng Qiuyan hadn't cultivated the Lost Immortal Sutra. It didn't seem possible to advance to the Mythical stage with his own strength.
"Currently, there are two confirmed paths for humans to advance to the Mythical stage. One is to be like my teacher, Wang Mingyuan, and fuse with a Guardian to transform oneself. This way, the human body can break through its limits and no longer have the restriction of not being able to advance to the Mythical stage. The other is to contract a Guardian and use the Guardian's power to advance to the Mythical stage. However, this advancement is only the Guardian's advancement. One's body won't become stronger. "Zhou Wen wasn't a real coach, so he couldn't decide for Feng Qiuyan which path to take.
"Coach, which path are you taking? The first? "Feng Qiuyan asked.
"I won't choose either path. I want to rely on my own strength to advance to the Mythical stage. However, this path is basically a dead end," Zhou Wen answered.
