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

The saying goes: hands are two doors, but it’s the feet that truly fight.

The probing leg technique had always been Lu Ding’s signature.

Even more classic than the Way of the Jinche.

A single, direct front kick.

The air was torn apart by the blow, letting out a sharp, whistling sound. It was fast, accurate, and vicious, sending the bearded man flying like a cannonball. He slammed into the wall with a heavy thud.

The body constructed from consciousness flickered and wavered, becoming intermittently transparent.

Judging by its state, it was probably on the verge of dispersing.

Lu Ding’s voice followed shortly after: ”Did I come here to spar with you?”

The bearded man struggled, unable to get up for a long time: ”You ambushed me!!!”

Lu Ding found this amusing. The guy had clearly said ”let me learn from you,” and he had heard it. Was there a problem with him taking action?He didn’t bother explaining much to this bearded fellow.

Lu Ding walked over.

To the figure in the corner, he delivered a simple, unadorned, yet immensely powerful, ruthless, and deadly soccer kick right to the head.

THUD!!!!

The bearded man’s body exploded.

A complete and utter annihilation. In this place, soul power decided everything.

And what Heaven-Man Unity enhanced for Lu Ding was precisely his soul.

Lu Ding’s voice rang out.

”Yes, I ambushed you. If you’re not convinced, come find me. I’ll be waiting for you anytime.”

After doing all this.

Lu Ding pulled over a chair and sat down, his gaze sweeping across the room. Every single one of the remaining few people lowered their heads.

Too brutal!!!

Who the hell is this guy?

The Nowhere Room of Wuwang had many advantages.

It facilitated communication, allowed for easy discussion, and involved no risk. There was just one thing: privacy was too strong. If the other party wasn’t willing, you had no way of knowing who they were.

The silent, heavy atmosphere lasted for quite a while before it was finally broken by the arrival of more people.

The room, originally with six or seven people, now had over a dozen seated.

The newcomers, seeing the side of the round table where Lu Ding sat alone, all unanimously chose to sit in other directions.

In short, no one sat next to him.

Although these latecomers didn’t know what had just happened.

But...

Better safe than sorry. If others aren’t sitting there, I won’t either.

No one was a fool; they could sense something was off about the atmosphere.

Until the room’s door opened once more.

A figure in a long gown entered, accompanied by a maidservant, and stood before the table.

Despite the situation being clear at a single glance, he asked anyway.

”How many have arrived?”

The maidservant replied, ”Reporting to the Young Master, sixteen have arrived.”

Lu Ding: .......

He was speechless.

Are you blind?

Then he heard the man ask again, ”How many districts were notified?”

”Reporting to the Young Master, four districts.”

The man nodded.

The maidservant called out, ”Everyone, quiet.”

Lu Ding glanced around. Excuse me?

Who was talking?

It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. What are you even doing?

The man spoke, ”Thank you all for responding to my summons amidst your busy schedules.”

”Today, I mainly want to discuss three matters.”

”First, Lu Ding, this special envoy of White Ridge, has already killed several of our members. Currently, Miss Gao Qiuli is dealing with him.”

”However, due to the chain reaction caused by the sudden destruction of the Path of Dry Bones 749, I infer that White Ridge 749, being the neighbor of Path of Dry Bones 749, will likely take action.”

”When that time comes, Lu Ding will probably go as well.”

”Although Miss Gao Qiuli’s strength alone is sufficient to deal with Lu Ding, a lion uses all its might even when hunting a rabbit. To ensure no special circumstances arise, to uphold the dignity of our organization,”

”And to capture Lu Ding in one fell swoop, I wish to invite you all to go to the Path of Dry Bones and set up multiple ambushes.”

”As soon as Lu Ding appears, after luring away his two White Ridge 749 Bureau Chiefs, Qian Jin and Hou Dehai, we will jointly attack and surround him.”

”Swiftly, accurately, and ruthlessly capture this Corpse-Shattering Taishui.”

”This is the detailed plan. Everyone, please take a look.”

As he spoke, the man raised a hand.

On the table before each seated person, a document appeared simultaneously.

Lu Ding also picked his up to examine.

The plan laid out was extremely thorough.

Points one, two, three, four... were listed separately.

Decoy attackers, main attackers, ambushers, various array coordination, location selection, artifact coverage range—everything was covered.

There was even a plan to attack the enemy’s base, assaulting White Ridge 749 itself.

Looking at all this, Lu Ding had to admit,

Honestly, with this level of multi-faceted coordination, there was definitely something to it.

If he hadn’t learned about these things today, he would have faced some trouble.

Even if Lu Ding himself remained unharmed, White Ridge 749 would suffer losses.

Fu Xinghe, in particular, was listed as a key target for special attention.

The document stated that, planning for the worst-case scenario, if they couldn’t capture Lu Ding,

Then they must kill Fu Xinghe.

According to recent intelligence, Fu Xinghe has been single-handedly handling many major and minor affairs of White Ridge 749.

He is Lu Ding’s indispensable right-hand man.

While Lu Ding himself is only responsible for combat.

Once Fu Xinghe dies, all sorts of matters will surely give Lu Ding a headache. Then they can seize the opportunity, amidst his busy schedule, to find a single oversight and launch a second assault.

Look, what a meticulous plan.

They even proposed how to counterattack a second time after failure.

Thankfully, Lu Ding obtained the secret method to enter the Nowhere Room from the Golden Ao and came here today, learning of Wuwang’s intentions in advance.

Otherwise, there really was a ’possibility’ they might succeed.

Not a certainty.

As the saying goes, success lies in secrecy.

Now that Lu Ding knows these plans, their success is absolutely impossible.

Later, based on the Wuwang conspiracy plan he saw today, he’ll go back and devise a counter-plan to wipe you all out, you bastards!

Thinking this, a smile appeared on Lu Ding’s face.

Simultaneously.

Someone spoke up.

”The document states Lu Ding’s cultivation realm is only at the Third Restriction, while his combat power should be around the late stage of the Fourth Restriction, or perhaps touching the edge of the Fifth Restriction.”

Everyone silently nodded in agreement. Lu Ding also followed suit—when acting, you have to go all the way.

Then they heard that person continue.

”Judging from the information, this Lu Ding is indeed very strong. We cannot underestimate him. Alright then, let’s tentatively treat him as a Fifth Restriction cultivator.”

Lu Ding: ??????

Wait, is that right?

Are you the villains here?

In other stories, the villains would say, ’He’ is merely at the Third Restriction. Even if he’s a genius, at most he has Fourth Restriction combat power. Considering him capable of crossing one realm is already giving him too much credit.

Fifth Restriction?

Are you kidding?

You’re thinking too highly of him.

It’s precisely this kind of thinking that gives the protagonist a sliver of hope, allowing him to erupt with hidden power in a moment of crisis, break through the encirclement, reverse the situation, and kill the enemies.

How come with you guys, you round it up from Third Restriction all the way to Fifth Restriction?

Fortunately.

He was already at the Fourth Restriction in cultivation, with Fifth Restriction combat power. Going all out, he could even trade blows with someone at the God Ascension realm who had stepped onto the Divine Bridge. If that weren’t the case, they really would have calculated correctly.

Lu Ding took the initiative to speak up, seizing control of the situation: ”So, what you mean is?”

As soon as he spoke, all eyes turned towards him.

After all, him sitting alone on one side was far too conspicuous.

The man with the maidservant also cast his gaze over. He had noticed Lu Ding earlier and had been guessing which expert from the organization this person was.

The man who was speaking also nodded at Lu Ding as a sign of respect.

Clearly, he also thought Lu Ding was a top expert within the Wuwang organization.

He continued, ”What I mean is, the document still has loopholes; it’s not rigorous enough.”

”Since Lu Ding has accomplished so many major feats, even if we haven’t personally fought him, we must treat him seriously and rigorously, and face him squarely.”

”Therefore, we should think of him as being stronger.”

”It’s better to waste firepower than to fail due to insufficient firepower.”

”If we succeed, the waste is just waste. But once we fail, the price we pay will be severe.”

As soon as these words were spoken, other members of the Wuwang organization immediately chimed in: ”I think you’re right. Third Restriction cultivation, Fourth Restriction combat power—although we estimate he might be touching the edge of the Fifth Restriction,”

”This is just our speculation. We need to solidify the possible scenario completely.”

”So, I propose we directly set the standard higher, using the standard for dealing with a Fifth Restriction middle-stage cultivator to deal with Lu Ding.”

”I second the motion.”

”I think we should raise it even further...”

Before the last person could finish speaking.

Lu Ding directly stood up: ”I disagree.”

What are you all trying to do?

One after another.

If he didn’t stand up now, with these people adding more and more with each word, they’d keep raising the bar!?

What are you doing? What the hell are you doing!?

Villains aren’t allowed to have brains.

Since none of you are willing to play the brainless villain, then I’ll do it. I’ll play the brainless villain, okay!

Lu Ding immediately started his act.
