Global Apocalypse: Awakening the Soul-Swallowing Talent at the Beginning.

"Something went wrong. I won't be back for dinner tonight."

After leaving a message for Alyssa, Lu Li closed the data panel and looked at the back of the young man in front of him.

My ears were filled with the other party's tireless explanations, and memories of my past life gradually emerged in my mind.

Chen Ding, the master of the Chen family's Sutra Pavilion.

When we first met in our previous life, it was two years after the apocalypse.

At that time, Chen Ding was level 99, just one step away from the maximum level!

After rebirth, although the time I saw Chen Ding was shortened to half a year, judging from the other party's level, he had reached level 60.

However, what impressed Lu Li was not the opponent's fighting ability.

It's the style of doing things!

Chen Ding and Zhao Mou are very similar, both are cunning people who are good at using conspiracies and tricks.

The difference between the two is that

Zhao Mou is afraid of death and is willing to sacrifice anything for himself.

For Chen Ding, family interests are above everything else!

In his previous life, the incomplete copy of Lu Li's sword manual was stolen, and most of it was Chen Ding's strategy!

Just based on this point, this person can be said to be a thorn in Lu Li's side!

If not for the huge gap in strength, Lu Li really wanted to draw out his halberd immediately and smash this man into a pulp!

不过饭要一口口吃，路要一步步走。

The price Lu Li paid for his recklessness in his previous life had already made him deeply understand this truth.

Forbearance! (The crooked-mouthed dragon king covers his face.jpg)

Never take the initiative unless you are 100% sure!

"arrive."

While thinking, Chen Ding's voice came into his ears again.

Lu Li looked up at the Sutra Repository in front of him with its carved beams, painted rafters, flying eaves and brackets, and nodded expressionlessly.

He flicked his fingertips a few times in a place that Chen Ding couldn't notice, releasing several black insects the size of a needle tip.

"The Sutra Library is the core of the Chen family. It contains various martial arts secrets that the Chen family has collected over the past thousand years. Normally, strangers are not allowed to enter."

Chen Ding turned his head and said to Lu Li with a smile:

"But Brother Lu's situation is special. As the Pavilion Master, I can make an exception for you!"

Lu Li raised his eyebrows, knowing that Chen Ding was just saying something nice first and did not respond.

Sure enough, the jade-faced young man immediately followed up with the next sentence:

"It's just that before entering the cabinet, I need to take a simple measure. I hope Brother Lu Li doesn't mind."

"What measures?" Lu Li looked unhappy:

"If it's too much trouble, then you might as well not enter this Sutra Library."

"Just find me a place where I can write, and I'll memorize the sword manual and that's it."

"After all, I came here to repay Elder Chen Li for giving me four puppets."

"Oh, no trouble, no trouble!" Seeing Lu Li's behavior, Chen Ding quickly explained:

"Just put a mark on Brother Lu."

"With this mark, Brother Lu can enter and exit the Sutra Library freely without being restricted by any formation."

"If you ever want to leave, you can always come to me to get rid of it."

"I see. Come on then." Lu Li answered straightforwardly.

Their confidence naturally comes from the omens given by "Seeing the times and knowing the events".

There is an eight out of ten chance that there is something wrong with the mark that Chen Ding wants to put on him.

But it shouldn't be life-threatening.

Otherwise, Xiaoji Omen will definitely give you a reminder.

It was just like the intense pain that came from deep within my mind in the transmission channel before.

Although Lu Li still hasn't figured out the reason for this situation,

But I guess the corresponding omen is 'no danger'!

"Relax and don't resist." Chen Ding said as he drew in the air with his fingertips, drawing a character that glowed white.

Lu Li was stunned at first, then a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Chen Ding's mark seems to be somewhat similar to the 'magic rune'?

The characters were drawn quickly.

With Chen Ding's gentle push, it slowly floated towards Lu Li's chest.

The young man indeed had no intention of resisting and accepted it wholeheartedly.

But the characters just couldn't enter his body.

As soon as it comes into contact, it automatically dissipates and disappears.

"This...well, Brother Lu, didn't I tell you to relax and don't resist?" Chen Ding said in a kind voice.

"I'm very relaxed. I have no intention of resisting at all..." Lu Li spread his hands and said innocently:

"How about you try again?"

"Well, okay, maybe the rune was not drawn completely just now..." Chen Ding found an excuse for himself, dancing his fingertips and repeating the previous action.

This time, the light on the characters was obviously several times brighter than before, like a bright little light bulb.

With a gentle push from Chen Ding's palm, it slowly pressed towards Lu Li's chest.

Then, it broke again.

"Brother Lu, you..." Chen Ding's eyes flashed with anger:

"Didn't I tell you not to resist? Why are you still the same as before?"

"I really didn't resist..." Lu Li shrugged and smiled:

"If you don't believe me, I can sign a vow contract..."

"This..." Chen Ding stared at Lu Li suspiciously for a long time.

Seeing that the other person looked sincere and not fake, I immediately started to look for the reasons in myself:

"Is it because my spiritual attributes are not as strong as yours?"

"That should be it. I heard from the Third Elder that your innate ability is 'summoning creatures'. Usually, the spiritual attributes of this type of cultivator will be very high..."

Chen Ding, who thought he had found the reason, reached for the jade pendant on his waist, and soon pulled out a porcelain bottle from it.

He poured two pills into his palm, paused for a moment, and then poured out two more.

After taking it with your head held high, wait for the medicine to take effect.

"Brother Lu, it's probably because your spiritual attribute is higher than mine. I'll try again. You must not resist."

Feeling that it was about the same, Chen Ding spoke again and gave instructions to Lu Li.

"Yeah, okay." Lu Li nodded.

As Chen Ding stopped drawing with his fingertips, a dazzling character appeared between the two of them.

It's like the rising sun, so bright that people can't open their eyes.

Chen Ding didn't bother to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead. He pushed the characters with his right hand and imprinted them on Lu Li's chest!

Maybe it was because I used too much force.

Although this time the characters were successfully imprinted on Lu Li's chest,

But Chen Ding seemed to be hit by a speeding locomotive. He flew backwards with a bang and hit the wall of the Sutra Library hard.

Lu Li was stunned by the look.

What is this operation?

It's just the last mark as promised.

How come after just one push, it flew onto the wall and became a painting?

After all, he is a level 60 player.

Is it that weak?

Is Chen Ding going to blackmail him?

"Are you okay?" Lu Li took two steps forward, wanting to help.

Just five steps into the Sutra Repository, a slight ripple was heard in the air.

This is the mark on the body being verified through the formation.

This was a perfectly normal phenomenon, but it made Lu Li stunned and he stood there in a daze.

what's the situation?

At the moment when ripples appeared in the formation just now, his soul seemed to sense something extraordinary?

The densely packed structure resembles a honeycomb, with interconnected rune marks...

This is……

The entire Chen family formation network?

……
