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

Chapter 33: The Advantage is Mine

It was pitch black, unable to see one's own fingers.

She Xuan seemed to have night vision ability, coupled with her cunning and long tail, she quickly left Lu Bei behind and ran off to an unknown location.

She did contribute in some way. I'm not sure what triggered it, but she activated something that lit up the torches in the Cave Mansion, instantly illuminating the stone passageways.

Just as Lu Bei threw a luminous pearl and used his knife to feel his way along the stone walls, the lights suddenly brightened. He quickly raised his knife to protect himself.

Everything became calm and peaceful.

He picked up the luminous pearl and, regardless of how the torches were lit, cautiously used his compass to explore further.

If Zhu Bo were here, he would definitely notice that something was amiss. They were not the first visitors to this place in a thousand years. The Cave Mansion had been explored long ago, and someone may have even stayed here for a while. The specially made oil used to fuel the torches was the most compelling evidence.

In this way, the Buddha-faced Golden Body Spider and the key embedded in its head were also explained.

Lu Bei carefully felt his way forward, guided by the compass without any harm. While marveling at Zhu Bo's ingenious breaking of the formation, he became determined to retrieve what he had lost.

He promised Zhu Bo that he wouldn't lose the fan, but he didn't promise to return the compass unharmed.

She Xuan was full of tricks, and he didn't notice for a moment that she had ambushed him and caused him to lose the compass. It was reasonable and didn't violate their agreement.

Lu Bei, feeling secretly pleased, didn't realize that whether he had the compass or not, it made no difference to this journey. People had come here in previous years, the mechanisms were destroyed, and the formations were broken. Even if he rolled over flat, it wouldn't matter.

After Lu Bei left, cautiously exploring and leaving, She Xuan, who had been lurking on the snake's tail, slid down from a pillar. She observed Lu Bei's footsteps and followed suit, safely passing through what she considered the most dangerous trap.

Back to Lu Bei, holding the compass that broke the formation, he had a smooth journey, passing through several passages and arriving at a huge square stone chamber.

The chamber was square, ten zhang in length and width, with a curved roof like an inverted bowl. In the center, there was a huge luminous pearl. Below the luminous pearl, in the center of the tiled floor, was a platform resembling an altar.

"Tsk, such a large radioactive isotope. I need to hurry, don't want to get irradiated and develop cancer." Lu Bei shivered and quickly approached the altar.

As he searched for the keyhole and examined the patterns on the altar, he was quickly drawn to the inscriptions on it.

"Monster language?"

Lu Bei didn't understand monster language, but he had seen a few inscriptions on the Ascension Gate token and could barely recognize them.

"Not bad, it is indeed monster language. The owner of this Cave Mansion is not a Demon Cultivator, but a senior Monster Cultivator from the same lineage as me." She Xuan slowly slid into the stone chamber and looked towards the altar behind Lu Bei, a hint of longing flashing in her golden vertical pupils.

"Don't look around randomly, they're all mine."

Lu Bei held his sword horizontally, blocking She Xuan's line of sight.

"Without my help, you won't be able to open the bloodline mechanism," She Xuan said confidently.

What is the bloodline mechanism? Isn't it opened with a key?

Lu Bei frowned, but didn't ask his doubts. She Xuan noticed his expression and softened her tone slightly. "I don't know what evil method you used to suppress the backlash of demonic power, but I also have some tricks up my sleeve. Instead of both of us getting hurt, it's better to take a step back and choose cooperation. Let's share the legacy of the Monster Cultivator together."

"Commander Zhu believed your words and is half-dead," Lu Bei laughed and shook the Dark Gold Straight Knife in his hand. "The Liu brothers believed your words and acted separately. What reason do I have to trust you?"

She Xuan was very wary of Lu Bei, but she couldn't let go of this great opportunity to advance her bloodline. She took the initiative to soften her stance. "I swear that I will only take one item from the legacy of the Monster Cultivator. If I break my oath, I will suffer from bloodline backlash and die."

As she weakened her momentum, Lu Bei became curious instead. "What is it... Wait a minute, if there is only one item in the legacy of the Monster Cultivator, what will I get?"

"I am a Monster Cultivator, and I share the same bloodline as the predecessor. Naturally, I want the pure bloodline he left behind. You are not a Monster Cultivator, so it's useless for you to take it," She Xuan explained patiently.

Feeling annoyed, She Xuan continued to explain, "If the predecessor only left behind bloodline items and nothing else, then I owe you one. I still have another business in hand. You can accompany me when the time comes, how about that?"

She Xuan's business referred to another relic that required the blood of the Zhu Clan to open. Lu Bei had heard She Xuan mention it before, but didn't pay much attention to it. Now, upon hearing it again, he couldn't help but be greatly tempted.

Not going into the tomb doesn't necessarily mean no missions or experience, but if you don't go into the tomb, you definitely won't have any missions or experience.

Lu Bei pondered for three seconds and decisively nodded. "Alright, I will cooperate with you. You should swear an oath!"

"What about you?"

"Me?!" Lu Bei pointed at himself, turned his head to confirm that She Xuan was referring to him, and confidently said, "I have the advantage, why should I swear? I'm still waiting to break the agreement. What if I suffer backlash?"

"You're going too far!"

She Xuan hissed and exhaled poisonous smoke. She had intended to argue with Lu Bei and discuss the principles of win-win cooperation, but unexpectedly, before she could speak, Lu Bei took action.

The skill 'Blood Rage' was activated, and the capture judgment was successful.

Having experienced the oppressive feeling once before, She Xuan not only didn't develop any resistance, but also suffered severe psychological trauma from Lu Bei's previous massacre. Feeling this pressure again, her basic attributes were greatly reduced, not to the point of being crippled, but by about thirty to forty percent.

She was both angry and fearful, suppressing her timidity, and spewing out sharp words like needles. Her agile body moved swiftly, not daring to give Lu Bei any opportunity.

The skill 'Dark Tide' was activated.

Lu Bei accumulated his strength and swung his Law Treasure fan fiercely, causing a strong wind to blow and the poisonous smoke and needles to be blown back, rendering She Xuan's attack useless.

Zhu Bo had collaborated with She Xuan several times and knew that she was skilled in using poison. The Law Treasure fan was her trump card, effectively restraining the opponent when the situation turned hostile.

She Xuan thought it was tricky. Suddenly, a flying knife was blown by the strong wind and landed two steps away from her. The firelight illuminated the area, causing her agile body to lose balance.

Boom!

A strong wind suddenly rose. Lu Bei seized the opportunity and lifted a hurricane, causing She Xuan to be unable to defend herself. Her body flew backwards and crashed heavily into the stone wall of the chamber.

The old injury in her chest worsened, and She Xuan couldn't help but let out a low cry.

Clang!

A cold blade pressed against her face, awakening her from the pain. She caught a glimpse of the Dark Gold Straight Knife pressed against her cheek, and a sense of bitterness and indignation surged in her heart.

She lost again!

Lu Bei held a knife against She Xuan's cheek and held her slender snake neck with his other hand. Sensing the coldness and tightening of her waist and abdomen, he suddenly shook the blade in his hand.

"Auntie Snake, the advantage is mine. What do you think?"

Lu Bei looked down from a high position and said, "After verifying that I have defeated She Xuan once again, I still have some experience to gain, although not as much as before."

[You have defeated She Xuan and gained 10,000 experience points.]

Won't they let me repeatedly gain experience?

Or is it because he was too fast this time and She Xuan didn't resist fiercely enough, so the evaluation decreased?

With a decrease in experience, Lu Bei's face darkened. He continued with a cold snort.

"..."

Blood dripped from her cheek, flowing down the blade of the Dark Gold Straight Knife. She Xuan gritted her teeth and let go of her entwined snake tail around Lu Bei.

"Very well, I have received your sincerity."

Lu Bei took advantage of the situation and said, "Regarding your pledge to serve me as your master, I have considered it carefully and have no objections. Make your oath!"

"Then why don't you just kill me?"

She Xuan clenched her teeth, her vertical pupils narrowing. Her snake tail once again entwined Lu Bei, as if she was determined to splatter him with blood even if it meant fighting to the death.

"I was just saying, Auntie Snake, why are you entwining me so tightly? I respect your age, but don't think about preying on the young." Lu Bei activated the 'Blood Rage' skill, making She Xuan's hands go numb and her tail feel paralyzed. She let out a cry of pain and released her long tail.

"Auntie Snake, make your oath. Activate the bloodline mechanism. You can only choose one of the relics left by the Monster Cultivator predecessors. Taking more will result in backlash from the bloodline."

Lu Bei had an evil look on his face. "As for me, I'll decide based on my mood at that time. Is that okay with you?"

She Xuan remained silent, allowing her snake meat to be slaughtered on the chopping board. She didn't place her hopes on Lu Bei, she just wanted to see what the chance of advancing her bloodline looked like before she died.

She made a blood oath in the monster language and, after finishing, repeated it in a language that everyone could understand, as Lu Bei kindly reminded her.

The blood curse formed and appeared on the back of She Xuan's hand like a brand. She was sweating profusely and looked angrily at Lu Bei. Seeing that he had no sense of being a victor, she raised her hand and pushed away the straight knife against her neck.

"She Xuan, make your oath. Activate the bloodline mechanism. The relics left by the Monster Cultivator predecessors, you can only choose one. Without my help, you will never..."

"I understand, I understand. You old folks are the most powerful. Can we be done now?" Lu Bei interrupted, no longer wanting to listen to She Xuan's nonsense.

After a while, She Xuan lost too much blood. Her originally fair face now appeared sickly pale. She looked at the altar pattern submerged in blood and her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"It's not activated yet. Strange, could it be that the mechanism is damaged?"

"Maybe there's not enough blood. Don't be stingy, pour more." Lu Bei kindly reminded her.

"..."

It wasn't a sensible remark, but it made some sense. She Xuan knew that the purity of her bloodline was too low. She swallowed a bottle of Blood Replenishing Pill, gritted her teeth, and once again let her blood flow.

The scene shifted, and the blood-deprived She Xuan fell unconscious on the ground, while Lu Bei rummaged through the Universe Bag.

There was no other meaning behind it. He was just being a good person, helping to find a Hemostasis Pill!
