Chapter 17: Mark

As the night gradually darkened.

Many night watchmen in the Night Watch Department returned to their homes.

At night, it was their time to practice Night Tiger.

If there was no task to be performed, most night watchmen would choose to practice Night Tiger in their rooms.

Xiao Shi had also returned to his room at this time.

The message he had obtained from Captain Ding was still echoing in his mind.

“Use your own blood and qi to open it?”

He was thoughtful.

He took out the crystal from the storage bag, held it in his hand, and then mobilized his own blood and qi, making the blood and qi under the compression in his body boil.

In an instant.

His blood and qi surged in his body, and it was extremely amazing in the booming explosion.

But he found that these blood and qi could not rush out of his body at all, so it was difficult to act on the crystal in his hand.

Xiao Shi thought about it.

He took out a knife from the storage bag.

This was the weapon he dropped when he killed the spotted insect. He had many such mundane weapons in his storage bag.

Xiao Shi took the knife and let the blade pass through his palm, trying to cut the skin of his palm.

However, after the knife passed, his palm was intact, without even a scratch on the skin.

Usually, such ordinary weapons are difficult to hurt martial artists who have entered the martial realm.

Especially for martial artists like him who have entered the martial realm after body training.

Xiao Shi could only cut hard, and under the burst of his own power, it took a lot of effort to finally cut a hole in his palm, but the blade became curled…

During the night, both Xiao Shi’s defense and recovery abilities were greatly enhanced.

The wound on the palm was gradually recovering.

Xiao Shi quickly placed the crystal on the wound, and before the wound recovered, he mobilized the blood and qi in the body, so that the blood and qi in the body could flow out of the body along the wound, wrapping the secret crystal to open it.

For a while.

Under the boiling and surging of Xiao Shi’s blood and qi.

The crystal in his hand quickly melted and was successfully opened by his blood and qi.

Xiao Shi felt his brain tremble.

When the crystal stone dissipated from his hand.

Everything about the secret art of dust seal instantly appeared in his mind.

The secret art of dust seal mainly focuses on seal formation.

As long as you successfully master this secret art, you can condense seals with all kinds of objects.

Whether it is soil, sand, wood, metal… or other things, they can all condense different seals.

But this kind of seal…

cannot be used on yourself, but only on other targets.

You can seal on weapons, clothes, and other people at the same time.

But you can’t seal on yourself.

Xiao Shi thought for a while.

He took out many metal ornaments and a wooden sword from the storage bag.

According to the seal formation method in the secret art, he was ready to try to seal on the wooden sword with these metal ornaments.

He quickly performed the secret art.

These metal ornaments immediately dissolved at a speed visible to the naked eye, turning into a golden solution. All gathered together, and under Xiao Shi’s control, flowed onto the wooden sword, quickly forming a golden mark on the wooden sword.

The entire mark was circular, about the size of a bottle cap.

When the mark was formed, Xiao Shi had a special sense and control over the mark.

“Try it!”

He thought to himself.

He activated the mark directly.

The entire wooden sword was immediately covered with a layer of metal, making it no longer a wooden sword, but a sword made of metal!

Xiao Shi’s eyes flashed.

He scratched the ground with the metal sword in his hand.

Chi!
It easily left a long mark on the ground.

Its sharpness was completely incomparable to the previous wooden sword.

Xiao Shi pinched the sword body.

He found that in addition to being sharp, the quality and firmness were also completely different.

This is a fundamental transformation, from a wooden sword to a metal sword.

However…

The changes brought by the mark are not permanent, but have a time limit.

Two hours later.

The metal on the sword gradually faded, and it turned back to the original wooden sword, and the mark on the sword also dissipated.

“The mark can only be activated once. The thing that forms the mark is equivalent to the energy of the mark. Once the energy is consumed, the mark will dissipate.”

Xiao Shi suddenly realized.

According to the records of the secret technique.

What he is performing now is just one of the uses of the mark.

Xiao Shi continued to take out metal ornaments from the storage bag.

With these metal ornaments, a golden mark was formed on the wooden sword again.

But this time he changed the way to activate the mark.

“Explode!”

Xiao Shi’s eyes were stern.

The golden mark on the wooden sword exploded instantly!

Forming a golden impact.

Under this impact, the entire wooden sword shattered and exploded directly, turning into flying wood chips.

“Not bad.”

Xiao Shi was quite satisfied with this.

This is the second use of the mark.

Detonate the mark!

The stronger the thing that forms the mark, the greater the power after detonation.

For example, if the mark is condensed with flames, the power after detonation will definitely be stronger than the mark condensed with metal.

“This kind of mark is suitable for killing enemies!”

Xiao Shi thought of making a seal on the enemy.

If the enemy can’t detect it, it would be the best.

However, in order to make a seal on a person without being noticed, the thing that condenses the mark must be something that the other party already has.

If the seal is made with something like metal, it will be very obvious when it appears on the enemy and will definitely be noticed.

“What is the enemy’s possession that will not be noticed?”

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

Suddenly.

There seemed to be a flash of lightning in his mind.

“I’ve thought of it!”

“Qi and blood!”

“As long as I use my own Qi and blood to seal, it will definitely not be detected!”

Xiao Shi felt that his idea was very feasible.

After all, everyone has Qi and blood.

When the mark formed by Qi and blood appears on the other person, it will be like a part of the other person’s Qi and blood, and it is difficult to detect.

As long as it is hidden properly and the mark is not condensed in a place where the enemy can see it, it will not be detected.

“You can give it a try!”

Xiao Shi’s heart was excited.

If you can condense an undetectable Qi and blood mark on others, then you will undoubtedly have an additional powerful assassination method!

In the future, even if you encounter an enemy stronger than yourself, you can hide in the dark and launch a sneak attack by detonating the mark!

However, whether it is feasible or not, he needs to try it before he can know.

So the next day.

Xiao Shi went directly to the prison, and while drinking with Yang Zhen and Wang Changhuan, he tried to condense Qi and blood marks on the two of them without making a sound.

He condensed the Qi and Blood Marks on the backs of the two people.

Under the cover of clothes, the marks were invisible to the naked eye.

Xiao Shi silently observed the two people.

He found that they did not have any abnormal reactions and did not realize that he had left marks on their bodies.
