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

Chapter 64: Under the Moonlight, Behind the Tree, on Top of the Stone

Zhao Xiayang was shocked and abandoned Hu San, rushing towards the formation's core.

Unexpectedly, Hu San took a heavy blow from him but didn't fall. He used a throat lock to immobilize him in place.

Boom!!

Zhao Xiayang erupted with strength, fighting to the point of mutual injury. Taking advantage of the explosive force from Hu San, he accelerated towards the formation's core.

This momentary pause gave Lu Bei a chance to catch his breath.

After breaking through the invisible barrier, his arms were sore and numb, his tiger's mouth cracked, and his ten fingers had lost all feeling. He kicked away four fist-sized spirit crystals one after another.

The Dragon Trap Formation didn't stop. The four spirit crystals were only used to activate the formation. Once activated, the Dragon Trap Formation's energy circulation was self-sustaining, and the presence or absence of spirit crystals was not important.

Zhao Xiayang roared and attacked, his facial features terrifying. His ten fingers spread wide, sharp winds whistling as he clawed towards Lu Bei's back.

From the looks of it, it seemed like he wanted to tear out his spine and head together.

Lu Bei was dizzy from the sound waves, but he was still full of fighting spirit. With a burst of strength, he raised his stiff arm high and forcefully stabbed his broken sword into the formation's core.

"Break for me!"

Big Brother's lock armor had never let Lu Bei down. He gambled that his health bar was strong enough and that this strike could shatter the Dragon Trap Formation.

As the blade pierced the formation's core, Zhao Xiayang's clawed fingers touched Lu Bei's back, piercing two of his knuckles and gripping his spine.

Fortunately, the lock armor saved him from being instantly killed.

[You have been attacked. After deducting defense, your health points -3000]

The lock armor was worn out by more than half and was no longer able to withstand a second attack. Lu Bei's health points were also not enough to withstand a second attack. He spat out a mouthful of blood, gripping the sword tightly and thrusting it down heavily, only stopping when it was fully embedded in the hilt.

The Golden Scale Little Snake suddenly shot out and bit Zhao Xiayang's wrist, injecting all of its stored toxins.

"Die!!"

Zhao Xiayang's eyes turned bloodshot, but he didn't care about the snake on his wrist. With one hand gripping Lu Bei's spine and the other forming a knife, just like when he killed Chu He, he stabbed towards Lu Bei's heart from behind.

Am I going to die?!

Lu Bei's eyes were blank, a series of flashbacks passing through his mind. Suddenly, he realized that this world was likely not made up of data.

At least, he wasn't.

As the palm knife pierced, touching Lu Bei's heart from behind, a transparent ripple spread out.

Zhao Xiayang's sinister smile gradually froze. This seemingly easily breakable defense couldn't be shaken at all, no matter how hard he tried...

In the reflection of his eyes, a brilliant blue sword light grew brighter and brighter. Within the surging sword energy, there was an indescribable sense of danger.

The perspective switched to Hu San, who was running to save Lu Bei. Blood mist steamed up along the way, regretting being a step too late. He saw the majestic sword light shooting out from Lu Bei's back, its power terrifying. With one strike, it cut Zhao Xiayang's chest and abdomen in half, splitting him into two pieces.

Boom rumble rumble...

The hilt that had entered the formation's core was pushed away by the blue spiritual light. Blue spiritual lights converged, not too many or too few, exactly 108.

The Dragon Trap Formation was broken.

The spiritual vein's earth dragon reformed, its hundred-meter-long body coiled in the sky, exuding a pressure that made people want to worship.

The giant dragon raised its head and spewed a beam of light, bombarding the inverted lake-like sky of the lakebed. It was a civilized dragon, imprisoned by humans, but it only spat out one breath.

Just one breath, no more.

After spitting out, the local factions that didn't follow the rules were gone. The spiritual vein's earth dragon swooped down, plunging into the formation, shattering the engraved formation diagram, along with the crisscrossing blue veins, all sinking silently underground, disappearing completely.

[You have completed the hidden quest: Defeat the Dragon Trap Formation, and gained 1 million experience points]

Lu Bei: (一`一)

I'm not dead?

Lu Bei stood stiffly in front of the broken formation, his mind blank. The back of his hand burned and stung. When he regained his senses and looked, two out of three sword talismans were gone, leaving one motionless.

Seeing this, Lu Bei suddenly realized that his senior sister hadn't left and had been by his side all along.

When Bai Jin left Great Victory Pass, she planted three sword symbols on Lu Bei's back, indicating that in times of danger, they could protect his life.

Because they had never been triggered, Lu Bei had almost forgotten about them. When he was formulating his plan, he had included the sword symbols as a separate part of the strategy. Since he was unsure of their specific power and wary of the danger of the Dragon Trap devouring his mana and spiritual energy, he chose a more reliable scraping attack.

Lu Bei was slow to react and still felt extremely anxious. If the sword symbols had been activated before breaking through the Dragon Trap, Bai Jin might never have seen her beloved junior martial brother again.

"When Senior Sister planted the sword symbols, she didn't consider the possibility of the Dragon Trap and the remnants of the Qingqian. It was inappropriate and beyond reason. Speaking objectively, she was in the wrong."

Lu Bei sighed and took out a healing potion, thinking about how he had rolled over Bai Jin's bed and forgave her generously.

"Not bad, little brother!"

Hu San walked over dejectedly, his blood-burning forbidden technique consuming a lot of energy. He stuffed handfuls of healing potions into his mouth while eating, his speech slurred. "I thought you, with your military knife skills, were an Independent Cultivator. I didn't expect you to have a powerful backer. Is it because of this pretty face?"

Lu Bei touched his face and burned his skin mask, revealing his true appearance. Since that was the case, he didn't need to hide it anymore. "Don't spread rumors about me living off someone else. My Senior Sister doesn't want others to know."

"May I ask who your Senior Sister is, which sect she belongs to, and if she has any surplus Senior Sisters? Even a Senior Mother would do. Don't be stingy. What's our relationship? Share a meal with me!" Hu San immediately perked up.

"It's not important. I'll deal with Zhao Xiayang first." Lu Bei looked around and dug out Chu He's broken sword from the ruins.

"He's not dead yet?"

Hu San was astonished and walked quickly to Zhao Xiayang's side. Seeing him half-submerged in blood, his breath erratic, his eyes half-open and lifeless, he couldn't help but marvel.

"He's indeed not dead, but there's no value in saving him. Let me, Hu San, send Zhao Sect Leader on his way!" Hu San's eyes gleamed coldly as he raised his hand.

Smack!

Lu Bei raised his hand to block Hu San and shook the broken sword in his hand. "Step aside, let me do it."

"Little brother, Zhao Sect Leader is an important figure wanted by the Profound Moon Department. I can kill him, but if you kill him..." Hu San stopped halfway through his words, recognizing the owner of the broken sword, and silently took two steps back, looking up at the sky.

Zhao Xiayang was killed by Chu He, who fought to the death. That's how the report was written.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Zhao Xiayang's body trembled, ignoring the gloomy Hu San, and looked at Lu Bei with drooping eyelids, confused. "Tianchi Sword Symbol, why?"

"Because I have a fair complexion, so I can live off someone else!"

Lu Bei sneered, "If you can withstand one move from my Senior Sister without dying, you're someone worth noting. I, Ding Lei, will grant you a way out. If you can't, I'll decide your fate."

"Why?"

"Remember, the one who kills you is Tranquil State's Ding Lei!"

With that, Lu Bei leaned down and stabbed directly into Zhao Xiayang's eye socket with the broken sword.

[You have killed Zhao Xiayang, gaining 500,000 experience. Based on the assessment of the opponent's level, the disparity is greater than twenty levels, rewarding 500,000 experience.]

Lu Bei's current main profession was level 35, and Zhao Xiayang was more than twenty levels higher than him. Even if he wasn't at the peak of the Core Incubation Realm, the evaluation of being the strongest in the Core Incubation Realm was possible.

After dealing with Zhao Xiayang, Lu Bei handed the broken sword to Hu San and skillfully searched Zhao Xiayang's body.

One Universe Bag, one Universe Ring.

The Universe Bag was used to deceive others, and there was probably nothing good inside. Lu Bei quickly scanned it and put the silver notes in his pocket, handing over the rest of the loot to Hu San.

As for the Universe Ring...

Lu Bei clenched the ring tightly, and Hu San's expression turned grim.

"Little brother, this is stolen goods. I advise you to calm down."

"I lost my knife, it's an heirloom."

"The Universe Ring contains clues about the remnants of the Qingqian. Don't go looking for trouble. You're a law-abiding cultivator. You should draw a clear line between yourself and them!"

"I almost died. My life is also an heirloom. I'm the only one left!"

"Even I can't open the Universe Ring. Even if I return to the Profound Moon Department, I'll need to find an expert to decipher it."

"My Miss is dead. We had a romantic relationship, and we had plans to marry and settle down after returning. It's all because..."

"Little brother, you have made great contributions to the country. You have worked hard and risked your life. You lost your knife and your old lover. The Profound Moon Department will surely reward you generously."

"Take it."
