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

...He absolutely must unleash that slash attack later to spice things up!

For now though, time to act.

He’s fished before, but never fished for Heavenly Perception operatives.

But to ensure Bai Hemen and Wang Qingge don’t lose control from his overly convincing performance later...

He can’t warn them in advance.

Because these two can’t act to save their lives - they’d give everything away.

They just need to be themselves.

That’s convincing enough.

Lu Ding put away his phone and warned Yan Feifan beside him: ”No matter what happens to me later, you must restrain them.”

With that, his expression turned solemn as he swung his scholar-warrior sleeves, activating Sleeve Grinding silently.Hundreds of enemy Qi Refiners were sucked into the vortex.

Crunching sounds echoed as mountains of mangled flesh and shattered bones were spat out.

Leaving only Yan Feifan scratching his rugged horned head in confusion.

What could possibly happen to Brother Lu?

Impossible.

...On the battlefield.

Normally speaking.

Having one’s own elite fighters join the fray should be cause for celebration.

Since it would lighten everyone’s burden.

But Tai Island was different.

Seeing Lu Ding start slaughtering after just a brief pause...

The unorthodox Qi Refiners grew desperate!!!

They wished they could grow extra arms like Bai Hemen - who had already manifested his dharma form -

Just to cast spells faster.

”Killing blows!! Hurry up and grab your share!!!”

”Grand Guardian please slow down! Take a seat and rest! Stop killing! Leave some for us! There’s not much left!!!”

”Maybe chat more with Brother Feifan? Or have some tea? We promise we’ll finish quickly!”

With already dwindling enemy numbers...

Lu Ding’s sleeves vacuumed entire swaths clean.

Though the resulting bone fragments and meat paste were still usable...

Their quality had deteriorated beyond recognition.

Only those raising demons or corpses would rejoice.

After all, it’s all just feed - quality hardly matters.

Paste or chunks, meat is meat.

Just please don’t use your signature Slash Attack, Grand Guardian.

That technique leaves victims too thoroughly processed - hard to digest with little nutritional value remaining.

The chorus of complaints from below made the distant Weigao Heavenly Perception operatives’ expressions shift repeatedly.

Previously, they’d looked down on the petty skirmishes below.

Boring.

And they couldn’t intervene anyway.

Too few highlights.

So they rarely commented.

Now was different.

Lu Ding’s appearance alone was a major highlight - breaking through to Earth Observation realm was a highlight - slaying Kim Eun-jung immediately after advancing was another highlight.

The current battlefield dynamics of Great Han’s forces had truly opened their floodgates of discussion.

Watching the unorthodox Qi Refiners below - all fawning words yet ruthless actions, each more sycophantic than the last yet more vicious in their attacks.

Even their efficiency had improved.

This situation...

Made the Heavenly Perception operatives mutter:

”Damn it... Our people are too far behind Great Han’s, not just in combat power but most critically in mentality!”

Another sighed: ”Indeed... Our troops constantly hope for their commanders to act.”

”Yet Great Han’s... actually want their commanders to hold back... Do they... truly not care about casualties?”

Hard to comprehend.

When commanders intervene, casualties inevitably decrease.

Adding layers of safety for everyone.

Yet these people reject such protection.

”Madmen... Absolute madmen... Though our people can get crazy too, they’ll never match Great Han’s level of insanity.”

”Unorthodox paths... More like demonic paths! Valuing profit over life - true lunatics, and an entire group of them too! Fuck it!!!”

Money is good, but you need to be alive to spend it.

Risking life for wealth - they simply couldn’t understand.

But this was predictable.

After all, none had experienced the suffering of unorthodox practitioners.

Weigao’s territory was small, leaving no room for unorthodox sects. Plus, Weigao and Great Han’s policies differed, as did their circumstances.

When unorthodox sects caused trouble, Weigao exterminated them without hesitation.

But Great Han couldn’t - during the great war, it wasn’t just orthodox factions who contributed.

For cooperative unorthodox groups who avoided crimes, Great Han showed considerable tolerance.

But times had changed.

Unorthodox paths couldn’t thrive in this era - not from lack of effort, but because the era itself was abandoning them.

So now, finally catching this windfall...

They must become the pigs flying on the storm’s winds!!!

To summarize the unorthodox attitude:

”F*** you! Never been poor? Then shut up! Don’t understand? Not asking you to live our lives for long - just one year. One year in our shoes without breaking laws or killing indiscriminately, then I’ll admit you’re amazing.”

They’d had enough of such existence!

They needed release! They needed cultivation!!

They wanted to earn a lifetime’s worth in one go!

Before coming, they’d made agreements with the 749 Bureau.

Kill freely. Afterwards, 749 would bring cargo ships for them to load materials. If needed, 749 could even provide storage - withdraw anytime, guaranteed fresh.

Like freshly butchered.

749’s reputation guaranteed this.

Among the clouds...

A Heavenly Perception operative spoke: ”Enough chatter. Mr. One-Eyed Five’s host is preparing to strike. Both of you, focus and stay hidden from Great Han’s Heavenly Perception.”

”When Mr. One-Eyed Five’s host strikes and Lu Ding falls for it, I’ll flare my aura to draw them over, making them see Lu Ding’s peril.”

”If Great Han’s Heavenly Perception tries to rescue him, I’ll verbally block their battlefield interference first!”

”Given Great Han’s arrogant nature, condescending attitude, and Lu Ding’s life-or-death situation...”

”They definitely won’t listen. That’s when conflict will erupt.”

”Prepare your spells now - bring out your signature techniques...”

The advantage of striking first was immense - not to be wasted. Seize every opportunity.

Pre-cast spells, prepare techniques - strike instantly when the moment comes.

That’s what the wise do.

Only fools would wait until engagement to prepare spells.

Here, the speaker paused briefly before continuing with ruthless determination: ”Include me in the attack radius.”

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

With this sneak attack opportunity, gather all ”targets” for annihilation.

Hearing this...

The other two Weigao Heavenly Perception operatives were shocked.

”Director Choi! You might die doing this!!!”

Director Choi shook his head: ”It’s necessary. How else could we lure all three Wu City Heavenly Perception operatives together?”

”We’re all Heavenly Perception - everyone here fought their way up. Nobody had it easy.”

”Nobody’s stupid either, so they’ll position themselves separately.”

”One rescuing, one controlling the perimeter, one engaging me.”

”In that scenario, with you two as hidden assassins striking at full power... At best you’d eliminate one unprepared target. Resulting in two versus three...”
