Such a dazzling white light was around Xiao Lin's feet as well as that little bear.
“A-what happened? Little bear, what are you doing?!” asked Xiao Lin
The bear could not answer. He just looks like he's focusing himself, bringing up a magic-like circle. It was a triangle inside and a circle on the outside, right in front of the little bear's forehead.
The same shape also appeared at the top of Xiao Lin's left hand.
Lss…!!
“What is this?!” mumbled Xiao Lin who was confused
On the other hand, Liu Shan who saw this opened his eyes so wide. He saw the sound of the process he first saw. The little bear released Kinya energy and fused itself with Xiao Lin's Ki energy. In other words, the bear voluntarily made a contract on Xiao Lin.
The magic circle disappeared and the entire light had dimmed completely. Xiao Lin who was being irrigated by the Ki energy was so great felt a drastic change in strength in his body.
“Power ... Great power flows in my body!”
Liu Shan who witnessed it instantly sharpened his eyes and was aided by the system to see the development of Xiao Lin's status.
[Name: Xiao Lin ]
[ Age: 21 years ]
[The cultivation level has increased after the binding of the contract ]
[Two-star general fighter > Five-star general fighter ]
“Lin’er” call the astonished Liu Shan
“Shan. What happened to me?!” xiao Lin asked in panic
“Great. Your strength increased and now you ... have become a five-star general fighter!” said Liu Shan.
“Hah?! Ba-how can-!”
Xiao Lin's eyes widened strongly and his words came to a halt in the middle of the sentence. His eyes immediately glanced to the side and tried to look for the little bear.
The little bear's body was filled with a white light that began to dim slowly. When her delicate brown fur had looked just like it had, the bear opened its eyes as well as its mouth.
“Finally I can talk to you, miss.”
The same reaction emerged from Liu Shan and Xiao Lin. The two of them opened their eyes wide in shock to hear the bear suddenly being able to speak. Xiao Lin was so frightened that he jumped back and was captured by Liu Shan.
“Uwaa!!”
Bruk…!!
“He-hey, Lin’er!”
“Be-bear ... The bear can talk!”
The bear lowered its head and body on the ground as if paying respect to him.
“I'm sorry for surprising you, miss. Merely, my speaking ability can only rise after climbing the level and making a contract with miss.”
The bear raised its forehead slightly and revealed the contract magic circle that he had made earlier.
Seeing this made Xiao Lin immediately check above his left hand. There the carving of the same transparent circle has formed right on it.
Sensing quite a different power within his body, a magic circle engraved on top of his left hand, as well as a stream of foreign energy that continued to enter his body. Not only Xiao Lin himself, but Liu Shan who was behind him felt that as well.
“(Lin’er ... he actually made a contract with that bear)” Inner Liu Shan.
“I... make a contract?” asked Xiao Lin.
“Before miss thinks that this decision is a mistake, please forgive me. This is the selfish decision of a lowly creature who asked for it to Miss” said the bear
When the bear spoke in a soft tone, Xiao Lin stared softly while astonished at him.
“Ke-why?”
The bear's explanation made Xiao Lin's heart tremble in shock. So did Liu Shan who felt the same as the bear. Xiao Lin had an extremely gentle heart and even immense affection.
Whether it was animals, or other people, he never thought of hurting them first. His heart was too soft to hurt others for his own sake.
Liu Shan smiled faintly when he saw Xiao Lin looking down in confusion. He raised his hand and gently stroked his head.
Sruk...
“Eh?!” said Xiao Lin who was surprised
“You heard, didn't you? He wants to make the contract himself with you. So don't burden yourself for feeling like she'll be shackled” Liu Shan explained
“True, miss. This is all my decision, and I will not regret it” continued the bear
Xiao Lin felt moved and his eyes became teary-eyed. He tried to wipe away his tears and smiled loudly.
“Alright” Xiao Lin said
He raised his index and middle fingers, doing carving movements in the form of Chinese letters that form a name.
“With this, your name is …. Xiong”
Carving the name directly into the bear's body. As a contractual bond, Xiao Lin gave a name to him.
The bear looked down respectfully at Xiao Lin.
“I am Xiong. Thank you for this name, miss”
**
Xiao Lin's abilities had improved and were aided by Xiong as his mystical beast. Now, Liu Shan was fighting no longer side by side, Xiao Lin could be by his side and help him fight without worrying him.
Exploring Shenmi forest is like an ordinary training. They meet a lot of people who try to pick up their pendants, but always lose easily.
Those who were walking in the middle of the forest quietly while looking at the surroundings. Liu Shan took out the pendant he had after fighting with many people.
“About 38 pendants.. Feels fast once up”.
While withdrawing his gaze to the sampnig, Liu Shan asked Xiao Lin.
“How about you, Lin’er?” ask Liu Shan
“Hm, me? I have ... 29 pendant” Xiao Lin said
“Wah, many also” Liu Shan said.
“Hehehe .. Well, it's thanks to you and Xiong helping me,” Xiao Lin said.
“No need to hesitate miss. It is my duty to help and please Miss” said Xiong who became a small bear and was right on Xiao Lin's shoulder
Instead of those who were talking, suddenly a large number of people appeared from their hiding places. Either come down from the top of the tree, from behind it, or come out of the bushes.
Srak..srak…!!
They came out with a number that almost reached ten people, and each of them released a powerful Ki energy.
Liu Shan who was directly standing over in front of Xiao Lin was trying to protect him while paying attention to the surroundings.
“Who are they?!” mumbled Xiao Lin.
“Do not know. But keep your own side. I think their intentions must be our pendant,” Liu Shan said.
Liu Shan looked through the system, and gained the status that everyone there was a one-star general fighter.
And among all of them, suddenly a man came from the front.
“Wah wah ... has just been one week, and you've been trying to get close to the young lady of the Xiao family.”
The remark made Liu Shan and Xiao Lin suddenly withdraw their gaze. Liu Shan's eyes turned cold and sharp. Because the person who appeared was Guan Liu.
