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

The tottering secret realm ultimately followed the Yellow Heaven Sect members buried within it, returning to nothingness and being submerged in the spatial turbulence.

If it hadn’t been fought to such a state, perhaps it could have been reused in the future.

But now it already fell into the category of a dangerous structure.

The cost of repair was too great.

Better to destroy it, and be done with it once and for all.

[Contained Monster: Mad God]

[Containment Reward: Heaven of Great Desire and Madness]

[Heaven of Great Desire and Madness: Do not plant good causes, do not cultivate good fruits. Indulge desires for the self, let madness be the heavens.......]

Lu Ding had recalled the Mad God’s origins earlier.

But the description of this skill was rather vague.Just as he was comprehending its meaning.

A sudden surge of illusions arose in his mind.

Mist rose around him, colors shifted, alternating between blue and purple, red and white flashing. Lu Ding’s face appeared in the mist, ten, a hundred, a thousand, over ten thousand faces emerging, laughing wildly.

”Hahahahahaha kill kill kill kill kill...........”

He saw the figure of the Mad God, buried along with the secret realm, appear.

A laughing, maddened Lu Ding grabbed its face with one hand.

”What is the Mad God? I am the Mad God!!!”

The voice was shrill.

Pressing the Mad God’s face down, he slammed it heavily into the ground, shattering the overlapping mountain ranges, cracks spreading everywhere as magma erupted.

Brutal force washed over the Mad God’s body, shattering it inch by inch, leaving it broken and incomplete.

Finally, he raised the object in his hand.

Looking closely.

It was a head, charred black by the magma, still connected to a smoking spine.

The illusionary Lu Ding threw his head back and laughed uproariously: ”I am the Mad God!!!!!! Who could be more mad than me hahahahahaha........”

The illusion vanished.

Lu Ding understood.

Alright then.

A finishing move has arrived!

Both cool-looking and powerful, just a bit... insane.

But as long as it works, that’s all that matters!

Perfect for pairing with the [Way of the Jinche] for a zero-frame startup, going straight into the all-out finisher.

Even if it doesn’t kill, it’ll cripple.

Let’s be real, what decent person opens with their ultimate move right upon meeting?

That’s the mark of a sensitive constitution.

But the [Heaven of Great Desire and Madness] is all about brutality and raging fury.

Returning to his senses.

Lu Ding was already standing at the Mouth of the Evil Prison, beside the Bixi Stele.

A sea breeze blew in, the surroundings filled with 749 investigators.

Those Yellow Heaven Sect members left behind by Shi Yuanshan to provide support were being pressed down firmly, completely subdued.

Who could understand their pain?

Just after their sect leader had gone inside not long ago.

Hills and fields swarmed with 749 investigators, surrounding them so tightly not a breath could pass. Getting arrested was one thing.

They were mentally prepared for that anyway.

But what was with the extra beating before the arrest?

Still, at least they were still alive.

These Yellow Heaven Sect members were tough, stubbornly refusing to say what they were doing here.

Hoping that when Shi Yuanshan emerged from the secret realm, he would save them.

The result.

Shi Yuanshan did not come out.

Instead, the figure that could scare the Yellow Heaven Sect members awake from their sleep and dreams walked out from the stone stele.

It’s over.

We’re done for.

They had thought there was a mole who tipped them off.

Turns out, the enemy had fought their way inside themselves.

When Lu Ding had entered, they didn’t know. But now that Lu Ding was coming out, they knew their lives were over.

Immediately, a Yellow Heaven Sect member shouted: ”I’ll talk, I’ll tell everything!!!!!!!”

”We’ll say anything, ask us quickly!!!!”

”I surrender, I’ll cooperate fully with the investigation!!!!”

Good.

Now they wanted to live.

On the small path, these Yellow Heaven Sect members were pressed down by 749 investigators, kneeling along the roadside, forming a lined passage.

Lu Ding walked through the center, striding forward, in an excellent mood.

Every time he passed a figure.

He watched as the Yellow Heaven Sect member he passed exploded on the spot, bursting apart in the hands of the investigators controlling them, dispersing into a cloud of blood mist.

Lu Ding walked ahead.

Behind him was blood mist.

Within it, figures followed, blurred by the blood mist—the western region investigators he led.

In such a desolate wilderness.

Such a scene could scare an illness out of a good person.

As the secret realm collapsed.

Mountains and rivers shook. The accumulated baleful energy the secret realm had absorbed to nurture the Mad God was released.

From the mouth where the river entered the sea came a sky-shaking dragon’s roar.

’ROAR!!!!!!’

They saw the previously clear river water at the confluence instantly turn into rolling mud, churning within.

As if something had broken free from within, carrying the rolling waves of the river current, charging straight for the Three Reefs at Sea.

But no matter how fierce the waves.

The Three Reefs at Sea remained unbreakable, standing firmly in place.

Among the accompanying investigators, Qin Jinghao stood nearby and said: ”Grand Guardian, should I lend a hand?”

Lu Ding looked at him: ”Studied feng shui?”

”Read a bit, just the surface.”

And quite proud of it too.

Lu Ding smiled: ”Indeed just the surface, not even as good as my ’slightly understand one or two things’ level.”

”Here, local expert, explain it to him.”

Zhan Tingzhou took over the conversation from the side: ”The way of feng shui is naturally formed. Human intervention, if meant as help, even if successful, leaves a flaw in the beauty.”

”If meant to obstruct, for a feng shui formation, this is a human tribulation.”

”Pass it, all is peaceful. Fail it, everything returns to emptiness.”

”This Mud Dragon Entering the Sea formation was pinned down by the Yellow Heaven Sect, which counts as its human tribulation. If we intervene to help it now, even if it successfully enters the sea, it would be without undergoing hardship, unable to receive feedback from heaven and earth, making transformation difficult.”

Qin Jinghao was somewhat confused: ”But the books I read didn’t say that.”

Lu Ding chimed in: ”Then perhaps the author’s mastery wasn’t deep enough.”

”It’s like lending money: help in an emergency, not in poverty.”

”What we can help with can only be the final push. This is called ’human tribulations still require humans to break,’ proving to heaven and earth that it exerted effort amidst hardship and difficulty.”

Zhan Tingzhou directly started praising: ”This isn’t a principle one can understand with just ’slightly knowing one or two things.’”

Lu Ding was quite pleased: ”Setting aside my own cleverness and wit, who told me I met a good teacher.”

The Crooked-Mouth Old Man’s feng shui mastery was all solid gold.

Perhaps at the profound depths, he couldn’t compare to Zhan Tingzhou.

This was due to the gap between a geographical genius of the Third Circle and the Second Circle.

But within the foundational theories and the upper limits of the Third Circle’s conditions.

The Crooked-Mouth Old Man definitely had something.

Zhan Tingzhou: ”Best if you could actually set it aside, ha.”

Sounded good, loved hearing it, hope to hear more in the future.

Qin Jinghao nodded silently, having learned something.

At the river mouth, the mud dragon carrying the river water continuously repeated its charge against the Three Reefs at Sea.

Zhan Tingzhou, being very adept at reading the situation, continued: ”You go attend to your business first. I’ll keep watch here, absolutely nothing will go wrong. Secretary Fu also taught me how to use the Reshaper.”

Lu Ding nodded.

Alright.

Now that the secret realm issue was resolved, it was convenient to go take over the Mouth of the Evil Prison, lest Ying Gou wait too long.

He called out to Qin Jinghao: ”Come, follow me for a trip to the Mouth of the Evil Prison 749.”

Investigators work in teams of at least two. Although the investigators brought from Hanjing were also here, Lu Ding’s relationship with them leaned more towards purely superior and subordinate.

Only the original Zhou Chu, Zhan Tingzhou, Qin Jinghao, and others felt more like friends.

Qin Jinghao heard this—the Grand Guardian was finally taking him along to play.

Immediately, he shook his shoulders and slapped them: ”As you command!”

Lu Ding looked at him, joking: ”When did you become a little eunuch?”

Qin Jinghao deliberately put on a shrill voice: ”From today onward, you are the uncrowned king of the western region, the local emperor as the old saying goes. Having a little eunuch by your side, isn’t that only right and proper? Little Qinzi here pays respects to the Grand Guardian!!”

”Hahahaha, get out of here.”

Lu Ding laughed, pulling out his phone from his pocket to check the time. But as soon as he turned it on.

Message notifications, missed call alerts.

[Xue Kai: They’re coming up. When are you coming to pick them up?]

Hit a writing block, I need to sort out the subsequent plot.
