My whole family are full of geniuses, I really don't want to be a succubus!

Watching Ling Yao take out the rope from her storage bag.

Su Yi's vision went black. Her incompetent teammate was right next to her?

Looking at the nearly fifty-meter-high stone slab, Su Yi felt somewhat desperate. Only after reaching the Foundation Establishment stage could he learn auxiliary flight techniques such as sword control. At most, Qi Refining would only allow him to float four or five meters high using true Qi. Facing the stone slab in front of him, there was no way he could fly up to it.

"You fucking untied the rope, how are we supposed to get up there?" Su Yi yelled at Ling Yao.

Ling Yao immediately retorted, somewhat aggrieved, "Why are you yelling so loudly? You'll just jump up there and mess things up!"

"??? Is this even possible?" Su Yi was momentarily stunned.

Ling Yao broke free from Su Yi's hand, channeled her inner energy into her blood and qi, and leaped into the air.

The jump was a full twenty meters high. Just before landing, Ling Yao slammed her feet on the stone slab separating the front and middle chambers, and using the rebound force, she leaped directly onto the stone slab separating the rear chamber of the tomb.

After leaping onto the stone slab, Ling Yao looked at Su Yi below with an air of self-righteousness and said matter-of-factly, "I'm up here now, aren't I?"

Su Yi's worry instantly turned to joy, and she called out to Ling Yao ingratiatingly, "Heroine, your kung fu is amazing! Quickly, take me with you!"

  

"No, I can't get any support if I bring you along!" Ling Yao, standing on top of the stone slab, shook her head and said.

Seeing the BOSS corpse in front of him dismantle all the puppets into parts in just a few moves, Su Yi gritted his teeth, flipped and dodged away from the corpse that was dealing with the last puppet, and returned to the stone slab under Ling Yao's feet.

"Hurry up and throw the rope to me!" Su Yi shouted at Ling Yao.

"Oh!" Ling Yao hurriedly threw the rope down.

"No, sis, you threw the whole rope down! How are you going to pull me up?" Su Yi caught the rope and stared dumbfounded at the sight of it being thrown down.

"You only told me to throw the rope down, not to pull you up!" Ling Yao retorted confidently.

"Awesome!" Su Yi was about to retort when she felt her hair stand on end.

In an instant, a scene flashed into my mind: a dried-up corpse swinging its right arm at me from behind!

The mythical talent, "Innate Allure," has activated!

"Water Wall Technique!"

Without hesitation, Su Yi used her skill, and a wall of water instantly appeared behind her.

Whoosh!

The wall made of water was as flimsy as paper and was instantly torn apart by the dried corpse, whose sharp claws, carrying a foul stench, rushed straight for Su Yi's head.

"Water clone!"

Amidst Ling Yao's scream, the dried corpse's claws instantly smashed Su Yi's head.

The smashed head was like a water-filled balloon being popped, instantly spilling water all over the ground.

Su Yi was narrowly replaced behind the dried corpse.

"Water Arrow Technique!"

"Water Whip Technique!"

Two attack skills were quickly fired at the dried corpse, and although they had some effect, it was only a small one.

The dried corpse merely swayed its body before turning around and lunging at Su Yi again.

Su Yi took a slight breath, feeling her adrenaline surge. She almost died before she even got started!

Good news: The skill I just used at the third level of Qi Refining can also affect the dried corpse.

This indicates that the dried corpse had not even reached the ninth level of Qi Refining, where the protective Qi would automatically protect it.

At best, he's just an elite mini-boss at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Bad news, all four of Su Yi's skills are on cooldown, and he's out of options now!

"Damn it!" Su Yi's fighting spirit was also ignited. He took out his sword from his storage bag and prepared to explode at close range with the dried corpse in front of him.

To be honest, I've been playing "Immortal Path" for ten years, and I play as a sword cultivator in the game!

Having spent ten years playing "Immortal Path", how could I be afraid of a level 8 or lower dried corpse?

If I told other players, they'd probably laugh me to death!

With practiced skill, Su Yi channeled his inner energy into the sword, gripping it with both hands and staring intently at the approaching dried corpse.

Just as Su Yi was about to rush forward and strike first, a short figure suddenly fell from the stone slab.

"A thousand-pound weight!"

With a sharp shout, Ling Yao landed heavily on the dried corpse in front of her. Her strength at the fourth level of Qi Refining, combined with her blue-quality combat skills and the acceleration from above, instantly knocked the dried corpse to the ground.

"Run!" Ling Yao shouted at Su Yi, then did a somersault to dodge the sharp claws swung by the dried corpse.

"I'm so touched! I'll keep clinging to you from now on!" Su Yi looked at Ling Yao, who jumped down from the stone slab to save her, and felt a surge of emotion. She immediately turned and ran away.

The initial ferocity and fighting spirit that had driven them forward vanished without a trace.

Ling Yao truly deserves the title of future empress.

After only two days of training, he was able to use the fist techniques he learned yesterday to naturally cover his fists with true qi, and for a time he was evenly matched with the dried corpse!

However, there is still a four-level gap between the fourth level of Qi Refining and the eighth level of Qi Refining.

Moreover, Ling Yao's training time is still short, and her combat experience is almost zero.

There was a brief period of evenly matched fighting with the dried corpse, but that was all it was.

With her body nourished by true energy, Ling Yao, who was swimming around the dried corpse, gradually felt powerless.

After several rounds, Ling Yao was panting heavily and almost had her neck grabbed by the dried corpse's claw.

"Hurry up and think of something, Su Yi! I can't hold on any longer!" Ling Yao shouted to Su Yi, who had just run to the bottom of the stone slab.

Seeing that if the fighting continued, his own Empress's thigh would break!

Su Yi didn't care about anything else and took out spirit stones directly from her storage bag.

Reaching his hands into the box filled with spirit stones, Su Yi immediately heard the system's voice continuously ringing in his mind:

"Ding! Experience points +1000!"

"Ding! Experience points +1000!"

"Ding! Experience points +1000!"

......

The spirit stones in the box kept disappearing, and a series of notification sounds rang in Su Yi's ears. Su Yi's lips began to curl upwards like crazy.

Looking at the experience points jumping wildly on the attribute panel, Su Yi couldn't help but sigh, "As expected, risk and opportunity are directly proportional!"

Judging from this surge in experience points, it's perfectly reasonable that there's a mummy at the eighth level of Qi Refining crouching in this grave!

Ling Yao, who was entangled with the dried corpse, suddenly became furious and cursed, "I'm about to be beaten to death, what are you spacing out for?!"

He rolled his eyes at Ling Yao, who was being suppressed by the dried corpse. What does this little brat know?

Su Yi silently chanted in her mind, "Level up!"

In an instant, Su Yi felt the true energy in his meridians increase wildly, and his dantian was constantly filled with true energy.

"Ding! Fourth level of Qi Refining!"

The true energy filling the dantian began to rotate spontaneously!

"Ding! Fifth level of Qi Refining!"

Su Yi's true energy surged again, and the true energy rotating within his dantian devoured the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at an even faster speed.

"Ding! Sixth level of Qi Refining!"

"Ding! Seventh level of Qi Refining!"

Only after Su Yi's internal energy began to calm down did he let out a long sigh of relief, and the final notification sound rang in his ears:

"Ding! Eighth level of Qi Refining!"

Having instantly leveled up 5 times, Su Yi, in high spirits, couldn't help but murmur:

"Surrounded by ancient tombs, life hangs in the balance; trapped on a perilous cliff, I refine my Dao essence!"

"Breaking through countless realms relies on one's own will; only on the verge of death does one understand the destiny of creation!"

"With a formidable enemy at hand, I break free from all constraints, and I will devour spirits to traverse the snow-capped peaks!"

"Once enlightened, one soars into the clouds, reaching for the heavens with bare hands!"
