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

If it really was the Great Black Heaven Calamity, that would be terrifying.

As Lu Ding’s Si Ming true form, it possessed physical substance—no need to elaborate further since it was identical to the Dharma Form. It was also empowered with Polaris’s killing intent, and if Lu Ding’s first extraordinary phenomenon, Divine Blood Soaking the Heavens, was added on top of that.

The power of this thing...

If unleashed, wouldn’t it probably poke a hole in the heavens?

”Can’t use it casually, must keep it as the final trump card, hidden away as my ace!”

Lu Ding thought to himself.

”Things from the Si Ming realm remain ultimate moves even when one reaches the Five Decays of Heaven-Man... This cultivation system has some interesting aspects.”

At this moment, Lu Ding.

Had already reached the Three Restrictions cultivation level.Speaking purely of realm, an early Three Restrictions cultivation was absolutely sufficient in this White Ridge area!!!

Not to mention Lu Ding’s actual combat power far exceeded his realm level.

How to put it.

Although he was only at the early Third Restriction stage, he could fight anyone within the Fourth Restriction at will, and against the Fifth Restriction he would directly unleash his charged attacks, plus the hidden ”Si Ming True Form · Dharma Form · Polaris · Great Black Heaven Calamity · Divine Blood Soaking the Heavens.”

Well then.

Before the ultimate move even came out, its attribute business card was already planted right on the opponent’s forehead.

Anyway, regardless of how you put it, there was just one sentence: starting today, he wouldn’t go easy on anyone!!

If you’re not convinced, then fight!

Lu Ding formed hand seals, absorbing the remaining medicinal effects, coordinating with the two Spirit Marrows within his body, slowly pushing his realm toward the middle stage of the Three Restrictions.

At this time.

The outside world still didn’t know that Lu Ding had broken through again.

Logically speaking, breakthroughs like this required massive amounts of heaven and earth spiritual energy support, and would definitely create some commotion.

But who told Lu Ding that he had Elder Shui’s support and the two Spirit Marrows rewarded by the Great Han inside his body.

This made for a completely silent breakthrough.

Just look at that, how sneaky.

Meanwhile.

On the other side.

The Zhan Family!

Zhan Tingzhou had successfully used the Five-Colored Divine Light to cover his original extraordinary phenomena.

His original First Restriction of the Five Decays of Heaven-Man cultivation not only didn’t drop, but even surged upward a notch, reaching the Second Restriction of the Heaven-Man!

Zhan Tingzhou felt the powerful dominance of the Five-Colored Divine Light, clenching his hand into a fist!!!

A smile gradually appeared.

”Five-Colored Divine Light: white, cyan, black, red, yellow—five colors corresponding to the five elements metal, wood, water, fire, earth, subtly aligning with the five restrictions of the Five Decays of Heaven-Man. Now I already possess the crimson fire and cyan wood lights.”

”Crimson fire for attack, cyan wood for recovery—innate offense and defense combined!”

”Plus matched with the techniques I learned in my previous life and my combat experience against enemies!!!!”

”My combat power, even when facing Three Restrictions Qi Refiners, I have no fear.”

”Crimson fire can also be used for alchemy, allowing me to quickly advance my realm.”

”This lifetime, I must walk ahead of everyone!!!”

Although Zhan Tingzhou’s natural talent wasn’t particularly monstrous.

But who told him that he had lived long? It was all accumulation and experience.

The realm constraints that trapped others were, for him, merely retreading a path he had already walked. As long as resources were in place, it was a straight climb upward.

Talent had already limited him in his previous life.

Moreover, he still had advantages that even monsters couldn’t compare to.

That was spells!!!

Using the Five-Colored Divine Light combined with his previous life’s spell experience, plus being a bit careful—as long as he could avoid the risk of spell backfire, he could use spells at the Fourth Restriction, or even the Third Restriction!

Although the power would be reduced, since his realm wasn’t sufficient.

But even reduced spells weren’t something ordinary people could challenge.

He had never heard of anyone being able to use spells at the Third or Fourth Restrictions.

This required soul power after passing through the Five Decays of Heaven-Man.

Although his physical body was no longer the same, his soul though...

Thinking of this, a curve appeared at the corner of Zhan Tingzhou’s mouth.

With these conditions plus foreknowledge, how could other prodigies... compete with him?

He stood up, stretching his muscles and bones.

”Next, I can go report to Lu Ding at the 749 Bureau.”

But before going, Zhan Tingzhou still had one thing to do.

That was, to perform a divination for Lu Ding, to have some measure in advance. Even if he couldn’t determine anything precisely, catching some hints would be fine too.

Saying he would do it, he did it.

Zhan Tingzhou walked to the courtyard, assumed a stance, formed hand seals, using the cyan wood divine light from the Five-Colored Divine Light, combined with his own spiritual energy.

His focused gaze fell upon the ground.

With his call: ”Rise!”

Spiritual energy intertwined, a divination disk spread open beneath his feet. Energy united with thought, thought united with heart, heart united with heaven, heaven and man united as ’one’!

As Zhan Tingzhou used a wooden stick in his hand to draw a straight line—the character ’one’—on the ground.

Instantly.

It was as if a weight of a thousand jin of imaginary numbers, with an unknown substantial heaviness, instantly pressed down, making the wooden stick in his hand unable to move even a fraction.

Confusion flashed in Zhan Tingzhou’s eyes.

”One？？？？”

”What does this mean?”

”Could it be a thread of hope? Or is it what the ancient divination book I obtained in my previous life said: the Great Dao has fifty, but one escapes?”

To be fair, he was good at filling in the blanks himself.

And he deeply believed the things he came up with through this mental filling.

Just look, a curve appeared at the corner of his mouth, a smile appearing on his face again: ”Hmm!!”

”This must be it. My thread of hope was rebirth, perhaps Lu Ding’s thread of hope is also rebirth.”

As he spoke, he completely failed to notice that the side of his mouth that had curved up in a smile remained crooked and didn’t retract back.

Holding the wooden stick in one hand, he continued forming seals with the other.

”Again!”

The divination disk extended outward.

Watching the wooden stick move, adding another horizontal stroke below the ’one’ character.

The character ’two’ slowly took form.

Zhan Tingzhou looked with a ’sideways glance’.

”Two？？？？？”

”What does this mean now?”

”Could it be that one represents heaven, two represents earth? But this doesn’t match what I’m calculating about Lu Ding. What does earth have to do with this?”

”Could it be..... Eh?”

Suddenly.

Zhan Tingzhou noticed something wrong.

Why was his perspective so... so strange?

He straightened his body.

His face stiffened!!!!

Wrong!

”Why does my body straighten but my perspective shift, and when I correct my perspective, my body becomes misaligned!!!”

At this point, Zhan Tingzhou was completely panicked.

The hand seal in his left hand dispersed, the spiritual energy around the wooden stick in his right hand scattered, and he reformed spiritual energy to create a mirror reflection.

When he saw the image within, Zhan Tingzhou trembled as he reached up to touch his own mouth and eyes.

”This..... why is my mouth crooked.... why are my eyes slanted....”

He used his hand to straighten the crooked corner of his mouth, but when he let go, his mouth snapped back to its original crooked position!!!

He tried again with more force to turn his eyeballs back to their forward position.

But they simply wouldn’t turn back.

Zhan Tingzhou swallowed his saliva.

”Could it be.... that reborn people cannot be divined?”

Somewhat unwilling to accept this, he raised his hand and formed seals.

He began to divine himself.

The result was empty, empty, completely empty...

Zhan Tingzhou took several steps backward: ”That’s it, that’s it. The Great Dao has fifty but one escapes. If even the Great Dao cannot retain that one, how could I possibly divine it?”

”One multiplied by any number equals that number, zero multiplied by any number equals zero. Calculating myself must definitely yield empty results!!!”

Now, Zhan Tingzhou finally understood, albeit belatedly.
