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

Chapter 24: Slaying Demons

Two days ago, an acquaintance sent a message, stating that they had discovered a beautiful place and didn't dare to enjoy it alone. They invited Zhu Bo to go together and appreciate it.

Translated, it means that they found a relic, but their initial exploration was unsuccessful. They plan to team up with Zhu Bo, and the outcome will depend on their abilities.

Zhu Bo knows the strength of the person who sent the letter very well. They suffered a big loss, and if Zhu Bo were to lead the team, the result would be similar.

Furthermore, since the other party suffered a big loss once, they would definitely be more prepared the second time. Inviting Zhu Bo to join them was most likely an attempt to find cannon fodder.

This business is quite tricky.

Zhu Bo hesitated for two days and decided to go for it.

The reason is simple. The other party didn't seek out someone with higher strength but chose someone of similar strength like him. This indicates that there must be something good in the relic. The two teams have similar abilities, so they can handle both cooperation and fighting.

Seeking wealth in danger is worth a try.

There is another important reason. Good opportunities like this are rare nowadays. If they miss this chance, who knows how long they will have to wait for the next one.

Considering the risk of falling out and the fact that the other party definitely has strong reinforcements, Zhu Bo decided to bring Lu Bei along.

Feng Si said that Lu Bei's strength is not inferior to his own. Although he is a novice who has never been to a tomb, he has studied theoretical knowledge for two days and is an excellent partner.

Zhu Bo doesn't expect much from Lu Bei. As long as he can help when they fight, it's enough.

"How about it, Brother Lu, will you join this mission?"

Zhu Bo looked at Lu Bei with a burning gaze and said in a serious tone, "Don't overthink it. If you don't want to, I won't blame you. This cooperation is quite dangerous, and even I may not be able to handle it."

[You have received the mission [Relic Exploration].]

[Mission description: The underground relic is full of dangers and great rewards. This is a perilous adventure. How far can you go?]

[Main mission: Survival, reward 200,000 experience points.]

[Main mission: Explore the relic, reward based on contribution.]

[Side mission: Not triggered.]

[Accept?]

[Yes] [No]

There's no need to think about it. Just entering and leaving will give me 200,000 experience points. I will definitely accept!

Lu Bei quickly confirmed the mission and took a deep breath before looking at Zhu Bo. "Brother Bo, I'm deeply hurt by what you just said. Is it appropriate for brothers to say 'if you don't want to, I won't blame you'?"

"Oh, this..."

Zhu Bo was moved. "Brother Lu, are you willing then?"

"As brothers, if the big brother invites, how can the little brother refuse? Even if it's dangerous and full of mountains of knives and seas of fire, Brother Bo, with just one word from you, Lu Bei won't even frown." Lu Bei swore solemnly.

Not even a frown, he turned and left.

"Good brother!"

"A true friend!"

Clap!

The two raised their hands and patted each other's shoulders, agreeing to meet at Cloud River Tower tonight to enjoy some music.

Lu Bei was troubled by this. His sister-in-law was very strict, so forget about Cloud River Tower. But Bright Moon Tower was always available.

Zhu Bo understood and said, "Then let's meet at Bright Moon Tower tonight. Here is the token of Heaven Ascending Gate. Keep it safe and don't let anyone pick it up from your Universe Bag."

"Brother Bo, don't make fun of me."

Lu Bei took the token and noticed that there was a new faction called 'Heaven Ascending Gate' in his camp. He asked, "Is there any intelligence about that relic in Heaven Ascending Gate?"

"We'll discuss the details at Bright Moon Tower. Go back and prepare as soon as possible. We will depart in three days at the hour of Chen."

"Okay."

Lu Bei nodded, and Zhu Bo hurriedly left. He asked Lu Bei to prepare more, but he didn't idle either. He went straight to the Prefectural Governor's Mansion and found Zhu Ting, telling him the truth and borrowing a bodyguard.

After pondering for a moment, Zhu Ting assigned a trusted guard to accompany Zhu Bo. They had been together for many years, so loyalty was not a problem.

Furthermore, after Zhu Bo left, Lu Bei informed Wei Mao and his wife that he had been invited to go on a trip three days later.

Zhu Yan didn't think much of it and reminded Lu Bei to be cautious and not be deceived, especially not to be deceived in matters of love.

Wei Mao seemed to be deep in thought. When Lu Bei returned from Bright Moon Tower, Wei Mao brought him to the study and presented him with a piece of inner-wear armor.

It was of blue quality, excellent in quality, and had a decent defense. Lu Bei's basic attributes had not yet reached the minimum requirement to wear it, so he would have to add some points before going back.

"Big cousin, what does this mean?" Lu Bei, as usual, asked his question after putting away the equipment.

"There are risks in entering and exiting ruins. If something happens to you, our couple won't be able to explain to our senior sister. It's better to have a broken arm or leg than to lose your life. Wear this armor. " Wei Mao spoke frankly.

"Even though big cousin says he can't explain, he didn't stop me. He really doesn't wish me well!" Lu Bei laughed.

"Your heart is too wild, can't be contained."

Wei Mao shook his head, then changed the subject: "This armor was passed down by our father. After you come back, don't tell me any nonsense about losing it by accident. I won't understand."

"Big cousin, what do you take me for?" Lu Bei pouted, secretly thinking that Wei Mao really understood people well.

"Is there anything else you need to prepare? Tell me everything before you leave, and I will prepare it for you within three days."

Wei Mao said something that greatly moved Lu Bei, then suddenly changed the topic: "When you return with great success, you have to share the rewards with me."

"This..." Lu Bei scratched his head. "Big cousin, I don't quite understand. Why do you hide so much money?"

"On Great Victory Pass, there's the Prefect, the County Magistrate, and the County Supervisor, plus someone from the Extreme Monarch Sect in charge. I can't afford to offend any of them. Being an official here is too tiring. I plan to find a more peaceful place in the next two years." Wei Mao didn't hide his thoughts and spoke openly.

"I see." Lu Bei agreed deeply. Moving to a new place would require money, and Wei Mao had it tough too.

"By the way, big cousin." Lu Bei suddenly had an idea and smiled mischievously, rubbing his hands together. "Big cousin, what do you think of my hometown, Jade Chime District? If you were to be transferred there as a County Magistrate at the same level as you?"

"Jade Chime District is a retirement place. It's not easy to get promoted there, so it can't be considered a lateral transfer." Wei Mao shook his head.

"You can't say that. Jade Chime District has a simple and honest folk, perfect for exploiting the locals. With three years as an honest official, you can earn..." Lu Bei was interrupted.

"No need to say anymore." Wei Mao interrupted directly. "I know the County Magistrate of Jade Chime District. If something happens, you can find him. Any other questions?"

"None." Lu Bei raised his thumb. Not only were there no more questions, but he also admired Wei Mao. His future was limitless.

...

Back in his room, Lu Bei didn't immediately allocate his free attributes. Instead, he added the experience to the "Demon-Slaying Sutra," using the upgraded technique to boost his basic attributes.

[You comprehend the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and achieve some accomplishments. Strength +6, Speed +6, Spirit +5]

[You comprehend the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and achieve some accomplishments. Strength +6, Speed +5, Spirit +6]

[You comprehend the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and gain great rewards. Total level experience +100,000, cultivation +800, HP +500]

"It truly is a technique specialized in demon-slaying. It's so violent and ruthless. The increase in basic attributes is so satisfying..."

Just as Lu Bei was praising Mo Buxio, the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" technique underwent a change, and a new piece of information appeared.

[You comprehend the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and break through the realm of the technique, cutting off a demonic thought. Total level increases by 5]

[You comprehend the "Demon-Slaying Sutra" and break through the realm of the technique, understanding the "Demon Slaying Will." All future increases in basic attributes will be doubled]

"Cut off a demonic thought... Demon Slaying Will..."

"What is this?"

At the same time, in a dim and dark place, black demonic mist emerged out of nowhere and slowly condensed into a human figure.

"Who am I?"

"Where am I?"

"My name is... Lu..."
