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

Chapter 55: Your skills are impressive, but the next second will be mine.

The predecessors plant the trees, and the later generations enjoy the shade.

The predecessors stumble, and the later generations take advantage.

Ten strong men forge ahead, clearing the way through the thunderous path. Lu Bei and She Xuan ride along, finding a violently blasted cave in the east, successfully entering the ruins resembling a pyramid.

In colloquial terms, this is called tomb raiding.

The path in the ruins is complex, with interconnected passages. She Xuan follows with her sensitive sense of smell, aided by the night pearls illuminating the passage, so she doesn't get left behind by the strong men.

Until...

A narrow and straight stone passage, with dimly lit night pearls on both sides. She Xuan raises her hand to signal a stop, frowning and saying, "The scent is a bit chaotic. Your friend's friend must have encountered a mechanism. Be careful and don't repeat their mistakes."

"Is there a smell of blood?" Lu Bei tries to sniff, but doesn't smell anything.

"No."

She Xuan's expression becomes solemn. Without waiting for Lu Bei to speak, she starts feeling the walls on both sides, but doesn't find any hidden doors or passages. She cautiously moves forward, keeping close to the wall.

With a teammate like this, there's no need to worry about big things!

Lu Bei silently praises and follows closely behind. They walk a hundred meters, avoiding several hidden trigger mechanisms due to She Xuan's vigilance and years of experience in underground work.

The path ahead is within sight. She Xuan's expression becomes even more solemn, like the darkest darkness before dawn, and the danger before success is the most deadly. She slows down her pace and releases two green snakes from her waist pouch to scout ahead.

The snakes pass through safely, but She Xuan still doesn't dare to be careless. She walks the last ten meters as if walking on thin ice.

Arriving at the end of the stone passage, She Xuan's clothes are soaked with sweat. She breathes a long sigh of relief and puts the two green snakes back into the pouch.

Lu Bei wipes off his cold sweat and jokes, "Snake lady, I believe you're human now, because snakes don't sweat."

Upon hearing this, She Xuan becomes furious. Suddenly, her smile freezes, and she swiftly shoots out her claw towards the top of the stone passage.

Just as Lu Bei finishes speaking, some kind of formation activates. The ground beneath their feet suddenly disappears, and they fall into an infinitely deep pit, seemingly leading straight to the center of the earth.

With no support under his feet, Lu Bei raises his hand and grabs onto She Xuan's waist in front of him. Unexpectedly, the walls of the stone passage are extremely hard, and She Xuan's claw, which had high hopes, fails to leave a mark as it bounces off with a bang.

As their bodies lose weight and fall, Lu Bei doesn't hesitate. He lets go of She Xuan's waist and quickly grabs onto the steel cable with his grappling hook, then bends his knees and forcefully kicks She Xuan towards the edge of the pit.

Although Lu Bei had enough strength, he had nowhere to exert it. He fell faster, while She Xuan flew up a few meters. There was still a considerable distance to escape from danger.

At this moment, Lu Bei reached into the Universe Bag and took out a flying prop, gritting his teeth as he smashed into the nearby stone wall.

Bang!!

A blaze erupted, and the explosion released a shockwave. She Xuan groaned, riding the heat wave as he floated high in the air. In the instant he jumped onto the cliff, he grabbed onto the falling claw.

The steel cable rubbed against the surface and suddenly tightened. She Xuan was pulled two steps by the downward force, narrowly stopping in front of the broken section.

It could be said that they had excellent cooperation, or it could be said that Lu Bei's experience was not in vain. She Xuan had been struck by him several times in a row, and his muscle memory had become familiar with some of his habits.

"I'm surprised that you actually threw me up first." After the crisis, She Xuan held onto the hook lock tightly, ignoring the blood overflowing from his palm, and continued the previous conversation, teasing back.

"Don't waste time, it's too dark below. Pull me up quickly."

Lu Bei urged. He had always known that he had acrophobia, and he couldn't go up and down in the cliff. Staring into the darkness of the abyss made him realize that he was not only afraid of heights but also afraid of the dark.

"No need to say, I also..."

She Xuan's words were abruptly cut off. The disappearing ground suddenly appeared, and the steel cable seemed to have been cut by a divine weapon, instantly breaking into two pieces. After stabilizing himself, She Xuan hurriedly approached and touched the smooth ground, feeling a chill in his heart.

...

On the other side, Lu Bei, who had narrowly escaped death, was complaining angrily when suddenly a thick darkness invaded. It was pitch black from all directions, and the claw steel cable was cut off. His body followed the law of free fall, undergoing uniform acceleration with an initial velocity of zero.

"..."

At this moment, a thousand words were not as straightforward as saying "damn it" to express his feelings. Lu Bei was dumbfounded for a few seconds before he hurriedly started to save himself.

First, he took out the Dark Gold Straight Knife to slow down. The hard stone wall that the claw couldn't break through couldn't be cut directly by the Dark Gold Straight Knife either. It only produced sparks from friction, slowing down the falling speed a little.

Lu Bei silently calculated. Although he didn't know how deep the bottomless pit was, if he were to make a blueprint, he would most likely end up as a photo at the current speed.

The old method was to try self-explosion for self-rescue.

He threw out a flying knife while using the Dark Gold Straight Knife to slow down, waiting for the explosion below.

Successfully measuring the current height, when he was about ten meters from the ground, he threw another flying knife directly below.

Boom! Boom! Boom...

In the midst of the flames, the surging heat swept through the surroundings. Lu Bei sat down in the darkness, covered in dirt and ash, with more than half of his clothes burned. His upper body was protected by a chainmail, but his lower body...

Let's just say it was an indecent sight.

Fortunately in the midst of misfortune, the Universe Bag was not burned by the flames. Lu Bei endured the pain in his limbs, threw away his tattered clothes, and then took off his chainmail.

He touched the intact human skin mask and secretly thought that the vest was still there. Slowly, he removed it.

Ten seconds later, Lu Bei, who had shed a layer of skin, recovered quite a bit from his injuries. He put on the chainmail and vest, and then took out clothes from the Universe Bag to cover his extraordinary appearance.

[Blood Nest Level 6 (10/40000)]

Consuming a large amount of cultivation, using fresh blood as a lure, randomly obtain one of the opponent's skills with a success rate of 30%. Can be removed, stored temporarily at 1/2.

When randomly obtaining a skill, if the opponent's skill level is higher than "Blood Nest," the obtained skill level is determined by the current level of "Blood Nest." If it is lower than "Blood Nest," the skill level is based on the opponent.

Your skills are good, I will be yours in the next second!

[Snake Shedding Level 6 (10/40000)]

On the way here, Lu Bei used the excuse of sparring and building a relationship to gain over 40,000 experience points from She Xuan, making her blush every time. Finally, he obtained the coveted "Snake Shedding" skill.

Boom!

The flames soared.

Lu Bei exploded the shed human skin with a single slash, burned the evidence of stealing other people's skills, and frowned as he thought about how to escape.

He couldn't rely on She Xuan anymore. This woman couldn't even protect herself, let alone him.

Climbing up was also impossible, not to mention whether he could break through the ceiling, just the height alone made Lu Bei hesitate.

Just as he was thinking, a cold green ghost fire suddenly lit up, accompanied by a faint fragrance. Lu Bei hurriedly held his breath, held his sword horizontally in front of him, and looked towards the direction of the ghost fire.

In his line of sight was a pale face, although it had a bewitching charm, in this dark underworld, it only made people's scalps tingle.

"Who are you, evil creature!"

Lu Bei snorted coldly, his Dark Gold Straight Knife enveloped in white light. If the female ghost took another step forward, he would attack and cut her in half.

"Young man, you have a fiery temper. We are both in a difficult situation, so let's not hurt each other."

The newcomer slowly spoke, and the light from the night pearl in her hand gradually brightened, revealing her entire figure.

Lu Bei finally saw clearly that the person who came was the leader Wang, who seemed to be disguised as a woman, not a female ghost.

Going out in the middle of the night without sleeping, holding a flashlight to scare people, you really have nothing better to do.

"So it's Leader Wang..."

Lu Bei slightly lowered his sword, quite dissatisfied with his attempt to scare people. He spoke neither friendly nor hostile, "I apologize for my rudeness. It's just that you have a naturally beautiful appearance, and in this situation, I thought I had encountered some evil creature."

"Young man, you are too modest. Although I have a naturally beautiful appearance, you are not bad either. It's very inspiring." Leader Wang spoke with a friendly expression.

When I try to have a good conversation with you, why do you have to start spewing insults?

When a person can't hold back, they usually can't hold back. Lu Bei frowned, "Forgive my boldness, Leader Wang, what kind of creature are you, and what kind of cultivation have you achieved? Why is your mouth so foul?"

"It's a coincidence, I'm also quite curious. What kind of creature is Young Master Ding, and at such a young age, you already know how to scare people with your face. Is there something wrong with the heavens' treatment of you?"

Leader Wang pursed her lips and answered her own question, "It seems that I was too abrupt. Young Master Ding, with your appearance, it's clear that the heavens are not satisfied with you."

When the banter exceeds three exchanges and there's still no physical confrontation, the nature of the matter changes.

"Hehe, Leader Wang has a way with words. It should be me, Ding, who was too abrupt. My eyesight is not good, it was too dark earlier, and I almost mistook you for a person."

"Please, please, it's me, Wang, who should apologize. Before I met Young Master Ding, I truly didn't know that I had the habit of judging people by their appearance."

"No surprise there. It's probably because Leader Wang was scared when you were born, and you still haven't recovered."

"What? Ding and I were born on the same day?"

"I have to admit, Leader Wang, you have really thick skin."

"Likewise, Ding, you have the freedom to take care of your skin."

"..." x2

Impressive, this person's insults are no less than mine! x2

--------------

According to insider information, it might be released not on the first of next month, but possibly next Friday. I glanced at this month's new book rankings and a picture popped into my mind. I feel like I've stumbled into the lair of a great god...

The future looks bleak, success is just one word away.

While there's still a chance to salvage the situation, I quickly offer a new book as a sacrifice, hoping that my cultivation novel can survive.

Title: "Starting from the Courtyard in the Multiverse Check-In"
