Jujutsu: Eight Magical Skills At The Beginning, Admission Is A Special Level

Chapter 25: Release that Perverted Thief

Looking at the information prompts on the panel, Lu Bei's mind started to wander.

If he could eliminate one demonic thought, does that mean he can eliminate a second, a third? If he's bold enough, it's not impossible to eliminate eight hundred or even a thousand.

And eliminating one demonic thought already doubles his attribute points. If he were to eliminate a hundred and eighty...

What's the point of learning skills? Just relying on basic attributes, he could beat his opponent to death with a straight punch.

Lu Bei suppressed the urge to allocate his Free Attribute Points and raised his main profession level to 20, ending his beginner phase.

Name: Lu Bei

Level: 20

Main Profession: Dao Cultivator (Foundation Building)

Before level 20 is the beginner phase, during which players have lower attributes, equivalent to the stage of transporting qi in cultivation. It's like stepping into the path of cultivation but not fully entering it.

Because they are inexperienced and lack realm levels, players refer to this stage as the Mortal Realm.

In the Nine States World, those in the stage of transporting qi have a similar attitude. Only after passing this stage can they truly cultivate. However, they are still mortals with the potential for cultivation.

It can be understood that at level 10, you shout, "Release that perverted thief and come at me!" and then charge forward, only to be unable to defeat even the perverted thief, let alone an immortal.

If there were realm levels at this stage, cultivation would be too cheap.

Before Lu Bei transmigrated, many players enjoyed creating low-level characters before level 20. They suppressed their levels below 20, learned a large number of techniques and skills, redistributed their experience, and strengthened their combat power to seek out players of the same level for player versus player combat.

While sweeping through the beginner village, they claimed it was to suppress their levels and solidify their foundations, waiting for the right moment to soar.

It sounds reasonable, but it's actually nonsense.

As players' levels increased, they gradually realized that the most precious thing was not experience or equipment, but Skill Points.

A technique has its limits, and once it reaches the maximum level, it no longer brings benefits. To progress further, one must learn new techniques and skills, all of which require Skill Points.

Players who suppressed their experience below level 20 wasted all their Skill Points. When they truly needed Skill Points, they regretted having nothing left. By the time they accumulated enough experience to level up and receive Skill Points rewards, those players who had been pressed to the ground had already widened the gap, perfectly illustrating the saying "the East River is thirty years ahead of the West River."

Lu Bei wasn't a player, so he didn't have a player versus player mechanism. He didn't need to suppress his level, nor would he deliberately do so. After examining his personal panel, he pondered how to maximize the double attribute bonus brought by the "Demon Slaying Will."

After a moment, he shifted his gaze to the "Meditative Breathing Technique" and the "Qi Nourishing Longevity Extending Technique." When he came into contact with the Dao Scripture, he gained insights into these two techniques.

In theory, these two techniques were the most suitable for his beginner phase, allowing him to quickly and smoothly pass through the beginner stage.

As long as nothing unexpected happened, reaching the Foundation Building stage at level 20 would not be a problem.

Lu Bei had practiced the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" before and now decided to invest his experience in relearning these two techniques, exchanging them for some Free Attribute Points and Skill Points.

[Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique Lv5 (10/50,000)]

[You have gained insights into the Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique, gaining achievements. Strength +1, Spirit +2, Endurance +3]

[You have gained insights into the Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique, gaining achievements. Spirit +2, Endurance +3]

[You have gained great rewards from comprehending the Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique. Total level experience +10,000, cultivation +200, HP +300]

[You have gained insights into the Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique, gaining...]

[You...]

[You have gained insights into the Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique, continuously breaking through realms, and have comprehended the skill [Backtrack]. Spirit +6, Endurance +8, Free Attribute Points +3, Skill Points +200]

As soon as he regained these two techniques, Lu Bei's hand trembled slightly. He chose to use Skill Points to learn the "Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique," not for any other reason but to allocate his limited experience to more reasonable techniques, making it more reasonable.

The skill "Backtrack," when cultivation is below 30%, doubles strength and speed attributes, and when HP is below 10%, recovers 10% of total HP per second for five seconds. The skill has a cooldown of 24 hours.

Note: This skill cannot be upgraded.

A divine skill!

Roughly speaking, it's equivalent to picking up a life for free.

Obtaining this skill, Lu Bei once again pulled Mo Buxio back from the ground. When he first became his disciple, it was forced upon him, but now he could only say, "It's really satisfying."

This master is really lacking in praise.

At this point, Lu Bei was a bit confused. He couldn't distinguish whether Mo Buxio's compliment before leaving was for the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" or the "Embryonic Breath Supplementing Qi Technique."

These two techniques, one focusing on attack and the other on self-preservation, are both top-level techniques in their respective fields. It is difficult to determine which one is superior; they are both extraordinary.

As for the beginner-level techniques obtained through enlightenment, Lu Bei didn't mind. Out of respect for his own comprehension, he gave it some thought.

[Meditative Breathing Technique Lv4 (10/8000)]

[Qi Nourishing Longevity Extending Technique Lv4 (10/8000)]

Judging from the experience required for leveling up, these are not high-level techniques. Similarly, Lu Bei's cultivation of these two techniques did not bring any powerful skills.

One focuses on "stabilizing one's essence" to restore cultivation, while the other focuses on "strengthening one's spirit" to increase defense.

If both skills were passive, they would be absolute divine techniques among the same level. However, they are both active skills. It would be better to wear a few more pieces of armor and carry a few more bottles of healing medicine.

Fortunately, it wasn't an investment in vain. In return, he received attribute points and skill points, with the basic attribute points doubled. The return exceeded the investment, making a small profit.

After allocating the Free Attribute Points, Lu Bei's personal panel refreshed once again.

Name: Lu Bei

Template: NPC

Level: 20

Experience: 5010/120,000

Cultivation: 3010/3010

Health: 2200/2200

Evaluation: You kid, you still have some potential!

"The 60 points of Free Attribute Points resulted in a 120-point effect. Master, I admit that I was pretending to be reserved when I became your disciple. It was my fault," Lu Bei sighed repeatedly.

With the remaining 2300 Skill Points and 50,000 experience, he resisted the temptation to learn low-level techniques to increase his basic attributes and saved them for later use.

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.

During these three days, he didn't idle around. He diligently accumulated experience points until reaching 100,000, organized his Universe Bag, and received some paid assistance from Wei Mao.

Let's not talk about the chainmail armor. Besides practical elixirs for replenishing qi and healing, there was also a piece of equipment that Lu Bei couldn't put down.

Dark Gold Straight Knife.

It was of green quality, with a blade width of three fingers and a length of about one meter. It had blood grooves to reduce weight and increase strength, giving it a solid and domineering appearance.

Based on Lu Bei's knowledge of blacksmithing, he could tell that this straight knife had excellent craftsmanship. Just talking about the blood grooves, it had reached the pinnacle in terms of balancing the weight of the blade.

When used in conjunction with the Formation Cutting Knife Art, it could be said to be a perfect match.

Wei Mao didn't say that this knife was a family heirloom, so Lu Bei understood it as a potentially lost item. Every night, he would play with it for a while to familiarize himself with its feel and increase his proficiency.

At dawn, the gates of Great Victory Pass opened. Lu Bei, Zhu Bo, and Feng Si set off in a carriage towards Eastern Sun County.

Feng Si was driving the carriage, while Lu Bei and Zhu Bo sat inside. There was also a middle-aged man riding a horse alongside them.

Luo Ban, one of Zhu Bo's personal guards, was responsible for Zhu Bo's safety.

It was quite a coincidence that the coordinates of the ruins were located in Eastern Sun County, not far from Lu Bei's hometown, Jade Chime District. If this trip went smoothly, he planned to make a detour to Nine Bamboo Mountain Three Pristine Peak and capture that nest of little foxes.

Taking care of their food, shelter, and employment, this good fortune was hard to come by. It seemed that the little foxes would also be willing.
