First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

Hearing that, Bai Hemen, who was usually fearless, suddenly became a little uneasy.

“No thanks, I don’t know how.”

“What do you mean you don’t know? Just hold the rope, grip it tight, and when they give the signal, you just yank it hard—BOOM!!”

A 749 staff member nearby chimed in, “Yeah, it’s really simple.”

Many people get trapped their whole life by something they couldn’t obtain in youth. Lu Ding was the same, but he would boldly chase after that youthful feeling.

Because a man remains a boy till death.

So he could feel Bai Hemen’s emotions too.

They were friends.

Some people just need a little push.And sure enough, after a few words of encouragement, Bai Hemen’s interest was instantly piqued.

He kept nodding along with the staff.

Suddenly.

Someone shouted.

“It’s about time!!!”

Lu Ding stepped back.

He watched Bai Hemen’s nervous expression—heck, even when they fought a Si Ming together, he wasn’t this tense.

As the staff counted down: Three, two, one.

They shouted: “Now!!!”

Bai Hemen yanked the fuse hard.

And with a loud ‘BOOM!’

The shell shot out of the barrel and exploded in the sky.

Normal rain bombs were about the thickness of a forearm and fired by machine cannon.

But today’s? It was as thick as a calf, and pulled by a fuse.

All for efficiency.

“My turn, my turn.”

Lu Ding ran up, took the fuse from Bai Hemen, loaded another shell, yanked—BOOM!!

Bai Hemen: “My turn now!”

The two of them, back and forth, fired off more than a dozen of those giant rain bombs.

That night, countless people had their underwear blown off by the sudden downpour and wild winds.

Social media was full of pictures—underwear flying in the sky, hanging from tree branches, lying on the ground with floral prints.

As those dozen rain bombs blasted into the sky,

the storm clouds gathered.

And just like that, the torrential rain poured down. All the 749 investigators put on their hooded tactical raincoats.

Functional and stylish.

Atop the hillside.

Lu Ding looked down at the Kou Family ancestral graves, holding the detonator in hand.

He pressed it.

BOOM BOOM BOOM.....

A string of explosions rang out, masked by the thunder in the sky, vanishing without a trace.

This amount of explosives wasn’t meant to kill whatever was below.

It was to wake it, force it out of the ground.

Originally, Li Kai and the others had planned to dig.

But Lu Ding thought that was a bad idea.

Had they never seen a movie?

Open a coffin, and something always goes wrong. We’ve got explosives—why dig? Just blow it up!!

So with the charges planted, wires laid, and detonator pressed—

The coffin lid, mixed with mud, shot into the air.

Good thing the Kou family wasn’t around. Otherwise, Lu Ding couldn’t have held back from saying:

“Look, your ancestor’s flying.”

With the explosions as the prelude.

A sharp, piercing roar echoed through the sky.

“RRROOOAAARRRR!!!!!”

BOOM!!!

The muddy ground burst open, flinging a skeleton into the air.

Corpse miasma rolled out thick and fast.

But the real source wasn’t that skeleton flying through the air—it was the owner of the hand pressing up through the muddy soil.

A dark shadow leapt from the burial pit, stomping down and cracking the earth beneath it.

Fissures split apart.

Rainwater flooded in.

Under the flashes of lightning, its terrifying form was revealed.

A blue-skinned, fanged face, wrinkled and cratered, blotched and mottled.

Eyes glowing green like lamps, sparse hair dangling messily over its scalp.

Those signature glowing green eyes—

Lu Ding almost instantly recognized where this thing came from.

Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost, one of the Eight Western Ghosts, a degraded version of the Wuna Soul-Less Ghost.

Mentioned in the Jade Radiance Immortal Book of the Supreme Clarity Golden Palace.

[Eight Western Ghosts: One is the Pure-Born Ghost, another is the Wuna Soul-Less Ghost.....]

This thing had been mentioned there.

Lu Ding remembered back when he read about them, the Pure-Born Ghost caught his attention first. He even muttered to himself, wondering if anyone ever dared challenge these ghosts.....

The Wuna Soul-Less Ghost was a legit western ghost under divine command, dispatched to punish evil and slay the unjust. It shared the Seat of Venus with the other seven ghosts.

The Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost came from a story.

To put it simply, when the Wuna Soul-Less Ghost once went into battle with the gods, it got injured and some blood dripped onto a human corpse.

Later, a great monk took the corpse, hoping to refine it into a guardian spirit using the blood-tainted body. He used the Earth Qi of the Three Mountains, corpses upon corpses, raising it with other corpses.

And that’s how the Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost was born.

A fortune-suppressing guardian with a diamond-hard body, strength to uproot mountains, and endless soul power.

Who knows where the Kou family got the refining method for this thing.

But they made it—a terrifying monster.

Its physical body was tough, with insane regeneration. Born to kill and suppress fate.

It was powerful, but it ran into Lu Ding.

And Lu Ding just happened to have something that countered it.

“Set the formation. I’ll handle it inside. You all can’t intervene in this.”

Li Kai didn’t put on any airs.

Holding the communicator, he shouted: “Formation, now!”

Dozens of Jinshan investigators simultaneously formed hand seals, and the hidden formation plates in various locations lit up.

Threads of energy wound toward the Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost, momentarily restricting its movement—

but only for an instant, before it tore them apart with a wave of its hand.

At that moment, Li Kai finally understood why Lu Ding had said they couldn’t handle this thing.

Yeah, they really couldn’t.

This formation could bind him like a dead pig,

but it didn’t work at all on this monster.

Lu Ding flew forward, forming a seal with his hands.

He could’ve just clapped his hands and shouted to summon the spell,

but to maximize the output of his Spiritual Energy,

Lu Ding still chose to go with a proper hand seal.

Inside his body, the Sin Dragon charged through his meridians,

stirring up waves of Spiritual Energy.

Dark clouds gathered, concealing a faint crimson glow,

a breeze blew by carrying the stench of blood.

The ‘bloody wind and rain’ had arrived.

This was the technique specifically used to counter the Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost.

It was famous for its physical toughness,

but the Bloody Wind and Rain Technique was made to deal with physical bodies—

a textbook example of using softness to overcome hardness.

The wind stirred the three souls and seven spirits,

the rain dissolved flesh and bone.

As Lu Ding stepped into the formation,

in an instant, the bloody wind and rain arrived together.

The Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost turned its head and looked. This time, it got a clear view.

It raised its claw and lunged at Lu Ding, trying to rip his heart straight out—front to back.

But the next moment,

Lu Ding’s body turned into a splash of blood and vanished.

The Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost turned, searching,

completely unaware that its own body was beginning to fall apart.

Lu Ding reappeared in the bloody rain in the sky.

He cursed, “Dmbss.”

Gathering Qi throughout his body, Lu Ding gripped both hands and raised them high.

The rain around him suddenly froze and surged toward him.

The Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost sensed something and looked around.

Then it heard—

“Up here.”

The monster looked up,

and the pressure hit—

a massive red blood hammer, nearly a hundred meters wide, came crashing down.

BOOM!!!!!!

The hammer slammed down hard, mud churned, and shockwaves rippled out.

The terrifying force made the ground shake,

and the rain-soaked hillside collapsed entirely.

Lu Ding stood high in the sky,

looking down at the Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost,

now nailed into the ground like a spike,

yet somehow still not seriously hurt, still struggling to get up.

He muttered, “D*mn, you’re tough.”

‘Hope you drop something good when I kill you.’

Having dealt with plenty of monsters before, Lu Ding figured—

if he could take down the Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost,

his own physical body should get a serious boost.

“Rise!”

The blood rain wrapped around the monster and lifted it into the air.

Dozens of meters above ground,

storm clouds stacked,

and blood rain poured straight into a red prison.

Lu Ding used one hand to control the rain, forming a spherical prison,

constantly flushing the monster inside with torrential current.

With the other hand, he formed a wind-sealing gesture.

As the monster’s flesh peeled off piece by piece,

its seven ephemeral spirits shook violently.

Looking at the smile spreading across Lu Ding’s face—

the group of 749 Jinshan investigators couldn’t help but swallow hard.

“Wh-who’s the real monster here?”

“Lu... Investigator Lu’s technique... how is it this messed up?”

“If I’m not mistaken, that’s pretty much slow slicing, peeling off the flesh.”

“Don’t even compare that to slow slicing. If I had to choose between this and that, I’d pick slow slicing in a heartbeat. This is like bathing in acid—and that ‘wind’ stirs up your soul too.”

“That pain ain’t just physical. It’s soul-deep.”

“RRROOOAAARRRR!!!!”

As the monster’s shrieks echoed nonstop,

one of the investigators raised a thumb sideways,

“See that? That’s a corpse beast. Corpses aren’t supposed to feel pain,

but even it can’t take it. If a human got hit with this, they’d beg to die.”

“So why the hell is Investigator Lu smiling so happily?”

The people below were filled with doubt.

Looking up, Lu Ding floated beneath the storm clouds,

a smile creeping across his face.

The more they looked, the creepier it got.

The more they stared, the more their scalps tingled.

【Contained Creature: Wuna Soul-Less Corpse Ghost】

【Containment Reward: Seven-Soul Heart-Pumping Technique】

【Seven-Soul Heart-Pumping Technique: The seven spirits govern physical strength. Each pump of the heart strengthens the body further.】

Is the Seven-Soul Heart-Pumping Technique powerful? Absolutely.

Lu Ding was already more than satisfied—

but to his surprise,

it could even fuse with the Drums of Heart-Shaking Thunder Technique.
