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

Everyone should be just one step away.

The main issue is that there’s a threshold between God Ascension and Spirit Refinement.

It’s not that easy to cross.

So ninety-nine percent of people will be blocked right there.

At this stage where they’re held back, exceptionally gifted prodigies will do everything in their power to compensate for their shortcomings, their flaws, and strengthen their advantages.

Therefore, the gap between most truly deserving prodigies only gets smaller and smaller.

Lu Ding is considered a special case. He never expected Ying Gou seemed to be a special case too.

Soon, as Kong Wenshu finished packing his things,

Ying Gou uploaded his information to the 749 APP. After verification, he became the new 749 Special Envoy for Jinhua Tian Temple.As for Kong Wenshu, who left in disgrace, he went with Xuan Yuan Ci, who had woken up but from start to finish hadn’t said a single word to Lu Ding or even made eye contact with him. She temporarily headed to her territory in the eastern region, Fanhua Mansion.

This girl had been thoroughly traumatized by the fight.

She was somewhat questioning her life.

How could she be so weak?

Over on Ying Gou’s side, he was writing up requisitions and going through the paperwork.

On Xuan Yuan Ci’s side,

Kong Wenshu said, a little embarrassed, ”Sorry to trouble you. I might need to stay with you for a while after this.”

He didn’t want to go back just like that.

It was too shameful!

Hearing this, Xuan Yuan Ci finally snapped back to reality.

”No!!”

Hearing the agitation in her voice,

Kong Wenshu stopped walking. ”Alright then. The road is long and the mountains are high. We’ll meet again someday.”

Since she had refused,

He couldn’t exactly force his way in, could he?

Xuan Yuan Ci quickly explained, ”That’s not what I meant. In three days, Xiang Yu is coming to seize Fanhua Mansion.”

”I’ll have to move out then too.”

”Xiang Yu...”

Kong Wenshu was silent for a moment. He just couldn’t understand why his luck was so terrible, running into tough customers no matter where he went.

He had heard of Xiang Yu’s name before, but the two had never actually crossed swords. Xuan Yuan Ci’s attitude right now was enough to explain everything.

Kong Wenshu thought for a moment. ”Is he that strong? The two of us...”

Before he could finish, Xuan Yuan Ci interrupted him. ”No. The two of us together stand no chance against him.”

She wasn’t afraid to admit it; it was a fact. She didn’t see anything shameful about it, so she said, ”Before I came here, I had already fought him. I was completely outmatched.”

”It’s just that his pressure isn’t as crushing as Lu Ding’s, who could beat me in one move.”

”But even so, he’s still someone I can’t match with my strength. The two of us would, at best, make him go from eating one appetizer to eating two.”

Hearing this, Kong Wenshu let out a rare sigh.

He felt lost about his future in the new city after this.

But Xuan Yuan Ci, who had already formulated a plan, spoke up. ”How about we go to the northern region?”

”The north is vast with abundant resources and sparse population. Although it’s not as rich as the south, or as powerful as the east... and the west borders the sea and has Lu Ding...”

She really couldn’t find a single good thing to say about the western region, except that it bordered the sea. But its biggest advantage was that Lu Ding was there.

”However, the north is quite balanced. It’s enough for the two of us to split.”

”Besides, Lu Ding probably won’t expand northward for now. At worst, we can just stay far away from him.”

”If he does expand north, he’ll start from the northwest. We can go to the northeast. What do you think?”

Kong Wenshu thought it over. The east was now filled with powerful figures. It would be hard to gain a foothold there, with constant fighting every day.

He couldn’t swallow his pride and go back to the south. The west had Lu Ding, and going there would be suicide.

Only the north was left.

He sighed again.

”Alright. Then let’s go to the north.”

From the moment Kong Wenshu and Xuan Yuan Ci made this decision, the gears of fate for the northern region began to turn.

In the time that followed, special envoys who had lost their original territories kept heading north, delusional in their hopes of making a comeback. As their numbers grew, the north gradually turned into a crucible for cultivators.

All kinds of special envoy prodigies who weren’t good enough to be top-tier, yet were too strong for the weak, fought it out within its borders.

On the other side,

Ying Gou, who had finished all the procedures and paperwork, took a file bag and went to find Lu Ding.

”Come on. It’s time to go.”

Lu Ding looked at him. ”It’s done?”

Ying Gou smiled. ”Of course.”

Lu Ding immediately stood up.

He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

Ever since he unified the west, all kinds of factions had been causing him trouble.

If he didn’t hit them hard, they’d never truly know how many eyes the Horse-Faced Deity has, daring to stir up trouble right on the Grand Duke’s doorstep.

From Lu Ding’s perspective, the western region seemed calm and peaceful.

But all problems had to be examined at the grassroots level. Just because things were going well at the top didn’t mean they were going well down below.

The entire western region was in chaos, with all sorts of incidents happening every day, as various small power groups stirred up trouble and rode the waves.

It was just that none of this had any real substance. It wasn’t worth Lu Ding getting personally involved. He could leave it to his subordinates to handle.

Before, Lu Ding had no one to rely on, so he had to do everything himself. Now, he had plenty of talented people.

But the situation kept dragging on like this. Not only could public order in the west not be guaranteed, but with people constantly dying, the region’s reconstruction was also being delayed.

Any Qi Refiner at the Third or Fourth Restriction level would come running over to act as a suicide bomber. They knew they were courting death, but they still came. One slip-up could cause casualties among the common folk.

They were completely suicidal martyrs.

Who could withstand that?

There’s a saying: you can guard against a thief for a thousand days, but you can’t stay vigilant for a thousand nights.

So, Lu Ding was going to make them hurt.

If the enemy can go, so can I!!

These factions wouldn’t send their strong warriors, fearing casualties, and instead sent cannon fodder to cause trouble. So Lu Ding would go directly to their doorsteps, destroy their sects, wipe out their clans, kill the chicken to scare the monkey, and settle all accounts in autumn!!!

A blazing horse!

Not a single one would escape!!!

It was hard to deal with ants when you never knew when, where, or how many would appear.

But wasn’t it easy to just sweep the nest and plow the lair!?

Under rolling black smoke, the Red Coffin flew wide open. A pale ghostly hand reached out, offering the blade.

Lu Ding grasped Blood Frost, casually twirled it in a flourish, then held the long blade in a reverse grip, the spine of the blade pressed against his back, the edge facing out.

”Destroying a single Songyuan Valley wasn’t enough to teach you your limits. Today, I’ll slaughter three factions. Let’s see who still dares to run wild!”

He stepped forward. At the main entrance, the investigators were standing in formation, fully prepared to set off.

Lu Ding spoke. ”Target: Giant Wave Group. Any personnel who resist are to be executed on the spot!”

With a single command,

Hundreds of investigators immediately flew towards the location of the Giant Wave Group.

Unlike a sect or something like that,

the Giant Wave Group’s headquarters was located within a city.

Four skyscraping towers, arranged in a square formation, radiated the power of Arrays, protecting the other buildings between them.

This was the Giant Wave Group.

Upon closer inspection, the energy from the four colossal towers resonated with each other, like crashing waves surging forward.

But from a casual glance, everything seemed calm.

Whether it was surging waves or calm waters,

the Way of the Jinche cut through everything equally, shattering any situation before it.

Five long, well-defined fingers, like slender jade bamboo, slowly closed around the blade’s edge.

He slashed through the air.

Chop!!!!

The invisible Slash Attack tore through the air, the sharp intent of absolute cutting slicing through everything that dared to block its path.
