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

The voice boomed like a great bell, the aura surged like clouds shaking.

It purified the vast heavens and earth, bringing clarity and silence.

The moment this figure appeared, it instantly stabilized the situation.

Inside the office of the 749 Reserve University.

Secretary Qiu slowly rose to his feet as he watched the current scene: ”Good, good, good. I actually forgot about you, old fellow!”

He asked casually, ”Does he have some connection with Chu Xiao as well?”

If it were anyone else, Secretary Qiu might have still dared to confront them, but with this person, it wasn’t really feasible.

First, his status was not shallow. Second, his cultivation realm was not low.

Given the current situation, with the people they had on hand, the only way to not give this old man face would be to summon Elder Shui, or perhaps some other powerful figure.

But to call others for his own affairs...This was already a major disturbance at the 749 Reserve University; there would definitely be repercussions afterward.

Whoever he called would be dragged into this muddy water.

Thus, Secretary Qiu’s gaze turned somewhat grave.

The school administrators in the office secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Following Secretary Qiu’s words, they spoke up.

”Probably. We don’t really know either.”

”In the current situation, maybe we should just let it go? You’ve vented your anger, reclaimed your face, and even this venerable elder who hasn’t shown himself for a long time has made an appearance. Can we each take a step back?”

Under normal circumstances,

that might indeed be the case.

Although this projection possessing God Ascension-level combat power had appeared to protect Chu Xiao, it hadn’t come on aggressively from the start.

Logically speaking, regardless of status, one should at least consider the realm and give some face.

But this feeling of having no control over advancing or retreating was truly uncomfortable.

Secretary Qiu’s face remained dark and he said nothing.

In contrast, these school administrators all looked composed and confident once more, no longer resembling their earlier state.

They practically said it outright:

’Weren’t you pretty fierce just now?’

’Now that someone even fiercer has appeared, try being fierce again?’

But all things in the world have two sides. As the saying goes, things turn into their opposites when they reach the extreme.

There’s an idiom: extreme joy begets sorrow.

On the field.

Fu Xinghe looked up at the projection possessing God Ascension-level combat power.

”Know when to stop. Why didn’t you know when to stop back then? Now you want to know when to stop? Could it be that...”

Before he could finish,

a furious roar was heard: ”MOVE ASIDE!!!!!!”

A majestic aura dyed the heavens and earth. The sky, which had just cleared, was once again tinged with black smoke.

Lu Ding raised his blade and stepped forward, swinging it up.

”Hiding your head and showing your tail, bragging shamelessly! Since you bullied him for having no one at his back, then take one strike from me before you talk about knowing when to stop!!!”

You didn’t show up earlier, you didn’t show up later, and now you come to talk about knowing when to stop?

Fine.

First take this charged strike of mine. Let’s see if you’re even at the level to be qualified to talk about ’knowing when to stop’ in front of Lu Ding!!!

As his words fell, a chill swept in. Before the last syllable had even faded, Lu Ding moved.

The blade struck out!

This was no ordinary slash. It was a hate-filled killing intent that made all things tremble, capable of cutting through anything, breaking free from its shackles!

*Hum!!*

The moment the blood-colored blade trembled, the entire heaven and earth emitted a groan of unbearable pressure. An invisible oppressive force erupted suddenly, then instantly collapsed, shrank, and condensed onto the blade, focused on the edge as a single point.

EXPLOSION!!!!!!

Destruction. The fuse of brutality was lit.

Blade energy burst forth like a breached dam.

The terror that could slice through everything finally broke free from the blade’s restraint, once again letting the world witness its arrival!

Dark red ran rampant. That was not light; it was hellish blood plasma sealed within the blade, scouring and washing away everything. It was a sharp molten flow representing ultimate slaughter, attacking without defense!

Pressing forward, destroying, melting, and shattering everything that dared to stand in its way!

Space, before the [Way of the Jinche], was as fragile as a mirror, cracking inch by inch, layer upon layer of fissures. Spiderweb-like black cracks spread wildly, greedily devouring light and vitality. The blade energy surged and rolled forth like a blood river pouring into the mortal realm, plowing forward a pitch-black chasm of unfathomable depth, an impassable natural barrier!

Wherever it passed, all things were annihilated.

An ultimate cutting force, running rampant and charging fiercely, with an unstoppable momentum, blasted toward the projection possessing God Ascension-level combat power that was protecting Chu Xiao.

Sensing the terror of this strike,

the projection raised both hands high, mobilizing Spiritual Energy.

Defensive spells, counter-attack spells—all unleashed at once.

A colossal Buddhist seal shield over ten thousand meters tall stood erected, radiating boundless Buddha light. The heavens and earth chanted Buddhist scriptures. This was defense!

The attack spell followed immediately!!

Ripples spread across the ground beneath the projection. The earth sank, melting inch by inch, as if turning into a sea of magma.

With a piercing cry!!!

Waves of heat rolled.

A projection of a Golden Crow took flight, its wings beating, transforming into a great sun that crashed toward the surging, filthy river of blood.

One defense, one attack—both were spells!!!

This was the worth contained within the God Ascension realm.

But...

Ordinary spells were already insufficient to catch Lu Ding’s eye, let alone the fact that he had used his long-charged [Way of the Jinche] this time.

The Golden Crow wailed mournfully in the air.

Its body split into countless fragments.

The perfect great sun shattered into dust!!!

As for the so-called Buddhist great shield, the Buddha gazing upon all living beings,

it too was shattered in a single strike. What could it use to block the surging torrent? It could only be annihilated within it. A single strike to extinguish the Buddha!!!!

The pure attack smashed violently onto the projection.

The torrent swept past, scraping and killing it inch by inch, peeling and melting it layer by layer.

It stripped away the projection’s divine wonder, melted the projection’s armor, scraped away the projection’s flesh, and thinned and melted the projection’s bones.

Omnidirectional, without leaving the slightest remnant—complete annihilation!!!

It struck so hard that the old janitor sweeping the floor in the 749 Reserve University library tightly clenched his hand, shattering the handle of his broom. He staggered backward several steps before falling onto his rear end with a thud.

*Crack.*

The old man’s face paled.

”My~~ my back~~~”

On the field.

Chu Xiao, who had just been feeling overjoyed at having survived a disaster and escaped a calamity, and was preparing to put on a smug face, now turned pale as death as he faced the oncoming torrent, feeling his time had come.

If even a projection with God Ascension-level combat power couldn’t block it, how could he possibly withstand it?

The character for ’death’ surfaced in his heart, bringing forth fear that gradually made his body tremble and his face turn ashen.

Just as the torrent was about to settle accounts with him,

Lu Ding withdrew his hand, twirled the blade in a flourish, sheathed it into the coffin—all in one fluid motion.

The torrent dissipated into wind at this moment, brushing past the heavens and earth.

Looking at Chu Xiao again,

having experienced another life-and-death instant, his psychological defenses had long since collapsed. He slumped heavily to the ground, a warm flow gushing out, soaking his pants.

Lu Ding’s gaze swept over him: ”Trash. Do you want to live?”

Chu Xiao jerked his head up.

He didn’t speak.

Not because he didn’t want to, but because he couldn’t.

He was terrified.

But the rationality of wanting to survive forced him to respond with his eyes.

Lu Ding pointed a finger at Fu Xinghe, slowing his speech, enunciating clearly, but raising his voice so that everyone watching could hear what he was saying.

”Beg him.”

This was Fu Xinghe’s grudge. Lu Ding would not make any decisions for him.

All Lu Ding could do for him was ensure the fairness of this battle and that there would be no interference from anyone.

Although that charged strike was used up,

Lu Ding felt it was worth it!!

If anyone else showed up to obstruct later, then he could also pull out these Anomalous Phenomena: [Rivers and Mountains, Society and Millet Painting], [Double Dragon Agarwood Chariot], [Divine Blood Soaking the Heavens], [Proud Snow Defying Frost Tree], [Golden Ao Island].
