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

Step forward, shift form, vanish and reappear!

Strictly speaking, this move wasn’t a skill given solely by that one monster to Lu Ding.

It was one of the basic functions integrated into his Fifth Restriction anomalous phenomena, the innate Eight Trigrams and the Rivers and Mountains, Society and Millet Painting.

Combine that with the Moon Arc Kick’s launch acceleration,

and the practicality and cool factor were maxed out.

With just a single step,

Lu Ding was already standing behind Fu Xinghe, blocking the wide-open vulnerable spot in his back.

He stood like an ancient mountain.

Both palms pushed forward.Chi Yanyi and Dong Changgong were directly slammed backward.

But he let He Wanqiu through.

She reached Chu Xiao before Chu Xiao took that heavy blow, splitting the damage and taking the strike instead!!!

Fu Xinghe leaned his back against Lu Ding’s.

Lu Ding spoke.

”That man and that woman are yours, this man and this woman are mine. Fair?”

Fu Xinghe smiled, nodding: ”Fair!”

The reply was short,

but Fu Xinghe’s mind churned with emotion.

He was truly grateful.

Grateful that Brother Lu hadn’t stopped He Wanqiu from acting, so he could have a full chance to reclaim the ground he’d lost before.

Grateful that Lu Ding blocked the attacks of two Fifth Restriction fighters for him.

Grateful that Brother Lu, in the name of fairness, split the battlefield with him.

Although he was only at the second prohibition now,

he finally had a chance to fight side by side with Brother Lu in the open!

Even if he was primarily a desk job, today he would erupt with his own combat moment!!!

Fu Xinghe dispersed his anomalous phenomenon.

Both palms alternated, one probing forward while the other pressed back, driving sparkling stars.

Bagua Palm began, flowers hidden beneath the leaves!

He faced He Wanqiu and Chu Xiao.

”The unfinished one-against-two from before, let’s do it again today!!!”

As he spoke,

Fu Xinghe’s feet used the Wandering Dragon Step and he charged fast!!

As long as the body still worked, traditional martial moves would never vanish from combat history.

After what had just happened,

Chu Xiao no longer dared claim he could handle Fu Xinghe alone.

He and He Wanqiu exchanged a look and wordlessly coordinated, instantly cooperating to attack Fu Xinghe!!

Round two began!!!

Fists and feet flew, techniques and spells detonated!

Though not as easy as before and under pressure,

that pressure was still less than one third of what would come if Fu Xinghe used the Reshaper.

Besides,

Fu Xinghe feared prolonged struggle the least.

The large-scale damage Lu Ding caused before had all been something Fu Xinghe repaired bit by bit.

He did not believe fighting these two would create more pressure than using the Reshaper to help Brother Lu fix the battlefield.

Both palms opened flat, multitasking, unleashing an onslaught like a violent storm.

Heavily beating He Wanqiu and Chu Xiao into misery.

But they both had their own ideas.

’This intensity won’t last long. Use rotating assaults, constantly swap the main attacker and support, rotate and wear him down!’

The battle on the right side of the field continued.

Up ahead,

Chi Yanyi and Dong Changgong, who had been flung backward, both frowned as they watched Lu Ding.

That blow that had repelled them made them realize:

the person in scholar-warrior sleeves in front of them was no ordinary cannon fodder!

They had only acted impulsively because Chu Xiao was endangered earlier.

Now that He Wanqiu joined to meet Fu Xinghe and the situation was temporarily even,

they decided to wait and see first.

They definitely would not be swayed into attacking just because Lu Ding had casually shoved them back; that restraint wasn’t born from feeling his strikes sting, nor from cowardice.

What if He Wanqiu and Chu Xiao could win?

But...

If you were the first to act, and now you don’t want to act anymore—that’s on you.

Nothing in this world is that good.

Did they really think Lu Ding was the foolish genius villain from a novel?

Would he hold back just because the protagonist’s protectors paused, watch the protagonist and his underlings fight, and let the two protectors who had just struck go unchallenged?

Lu Ding raised both hands, palms level, each hand facing Chi Yanyi and Dong Changgong respectively. His ten fingers slowly unfurled as he gathered force.

He tilted his chin slightly, arrogance in his eyes, speaking clearly: ”Strike without mercy. Merciful strikes are worthless. Hold on, don’t die, let me enjoy this.”

Then,

the Bajiquan opening!

Step forward, shift form, vanish and reappear!!

”Wait!!!”

Chi Yanyi shouted.

Lu Ding let it pass by his left ear as if it were the right: ”Wait for your mother!!!”

When you struck earlier, why didn’t you wait? Now you want a wait? Go lie down and talk to me later!

The Mountain-Shaking Earth-Quaking empowered him.

He hooked his elbow to break the center, the force of the top elbow like a thousand jun!!

Bang!!!

The elbow struck Chi Yanyi’s chest. Even though Lu Ding had warned before moving and Chi Yanyi was on guard,

her defense was as flimsy as paper against such a fast, precise, and deadly blow.

It shattered in an instant!!

The heavy hit collapsed Chi Yanyi’s chest, force driving through her body and bursting out her back, tearing clothing and flesh.

If she hadn’t been wearing a heart-protecting mirror,

that strike alone could have immediately neutralized her combat ability.

Even with the mirror, she suffered badly.

She was tossed hundreds of meters, smashing through flower beds and trees, and collapsed, coughing up blood, gasping for air for a long while.

Lu Ding glanced at her: ”Hurry up and get up, okay?”

Suddenly, wind brushed past the back of his head along with Dong Changgong’s voice: ”Hit!!!”

A high whip swept his head.

In that instant, White Snake Shakes Scales activated. Lu Ding’s body bent and twisted with a baffling posture, dodging as the whip-leg swept past his face.

Lu Ding bent down, touched the ground, twisted, and raised his leg—the Mandarin Duck Kick—delivering a direct snap!

”Screw you!”

Bang!!!

One kick, heavy and forceful, the angle vicious and sly.

Like a steel whip, it struck Dong Changgong’s back.

Smack!!!

A crisp sound rang.

Dong Changgong’s back was pulverized, flesh shredded, and he collapsed forward.

He Cheng, who had remained inactive, saw Lu Ding’s posture was using his own force against him and thought, this is a great chance!!!

He suddenly drew his blade. In an instant blade aura spilled out.

Though it was a surprise attack, he still shouted a warning: ”Watch the blade!!!”

A bit half-hearted, half-prideful.

But He Cheng also understood that even if his sister teamed with Chu Xiao, they might not overcome Fu Xinghe.

If his sister fell,

to save her he would have to get past the man in scholar-warrior sleeves.

And from Lu Ding’s earlier exchanges with Dong Changgong and Chi Yanyi, He Cheng realized he alone was no match for Lu Ding.

So this was his only option!

He swung the long blade.

Lu Ding slammed to the ground and rolled, performing a midair Spinning Twist.

The black wide-swinging robe fluttered with him, reflecting prismatic light and obscuring He Cheng’s vision.

For a moment he couldn’t see Lu Ding’s next move clearly.

By the time he could,

a palm studded with fine dragon scales reached out, Dragon Claw Removes Helmet, aiming straight for He Cheng’s crown of the skull!

If gripped, he’d be finished.

At the brink of disaster, a cold flash gleamed as a short blade flew out, slamming into Lu Ding’s palm, buying He Cheng a sliver of time to dodge.

He leapt back.

Freeing his left hand, he drew another new blade.

The short blade he had just thrown was knocked back by Lu Ding; He Cheng kicked it midair, watched it spin and stick heavily into the ground. He stood on the hilt, dual-wielding blades in both hands.

Now,

He Cheng had reached full form—three blades in use!!!

Lu Ding stood in the center of the field.

He swept his gaze around.

In front of him were He Cheng’s three blades; to the left rear was Dong Changgong, whose back had been shredded by Lu Ding’s kick; to the right rear was Chi Yanyi, who had crawled back up but whose chest was still caved in.

Three Fifth Restriction fighters!

And all three specialized in different fighting directions!

Lu Ding smiled as red light gleamed in his eyes, full of excitement.

”As expected of the capital Hanjing, the quality of Qi Refiners here is different from New City!”

Any one of these three, dropped into New City, would easily break White Ridge and push through the Path of Dry Bones.

This time, he was finally going to have some real fun!

Using White Snake Shakes Scales, Lu Ding thrust upward with an opening palm. His apertures exhaled black smoke. The Sin Dragon’s phantom coiled around him like a serpent.

He extended his claw; the bones in it crackled audibly as he restrained his excitement and said, ”Come on, I can’t wait anymore!!!”

My internet line broke this morning, so I went to buy a new cable. That’s why today’s update is a bit late.
