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

Lu Teng’s thoughts had changed.

Beside him, Luo Qingshi’s eyes were filled with barely suppressed excitement.

At first, their plan had simply been to find Lu Ding and see how he was doing.

Getting him to come back might still take some time.

But now, the talent Lu Ding had displayed was simply too terrifying!

There was no need to wait!

And no time to wait either!

Before, they couldn’t take Lu Ding back because there was still the Lu Family Patriarch to deal with—no one knew exactly how talented Lu Ding really was.

After all, those Lu Family patriarchs were already displeased that Lu Teng had recklessly chosen to descend into the mortal world.If there was also a stray bloodline left behind, Lu Ding’s life wouldn’t be guaranteed.

But now, with Lu Ding’s talent so overwhelmingly strong—how was this a mixed bloodline? This was even more absurd than bloodline atavism.

Once they brought him back, he would become the next proud son of the Lu Family.

Lu Ding glanced at Lu Feng, who had stepped forward.

He found the man’s face full of apology, his eyes a mix of helplessness and a plea for goodwill—not wanting to offend the young master, not wanting to offend Lu Ding, but this was the master’s command, and he had no choice.

Since Lu Feng had that attitude...

Lu Ding wasn’t the type to casually drag others into trouble.

He had originally planned to go for the kill.

Forget it.

The guy didn’t have it easy either.

Lu Ding said, “Fine. If I can beat him, then from now on, I have nothing to do with the Lu Family. If I can’t beat him, I’ll come back with you.”

Lu Teng smiled and nodded, “Good.”

Although Lu Ding’s talent was terrifying, the Lu Family’s foundation was ridiculous—everything they used and practiced was top-tier, premium stuff.

Don’t be fooled by how few people the Lu Family had now.

They weren’t like those ancient sects, primordial holy lands, or grand dynasties with billions or millions of people.

No, the current Lu Family had reached the peak of development and then returned to simplicity, self-castrating on purpose.

Otherwise, with too many people, resources couldn’t be accurately invested in every Lu Family member who deserved them.

In such a growth environment, the ones who could still remain in the Lu Family—which of them wasn’t a dragon among men?

Fighting a minor cultivator of the same realm, one who had grown up on his own with no accumulated foundation at all?

Wasn’t that like picking something up with one hand?

With that said.

Lu Ding and Lu Feng walked out one after another.

On the empty training ground.

The two stood facing each other.

Lu Feng cupped his hands in salute, “Young master, I beg your pardon. Please, make the first move.”

Lu Ding couldn’t be bothered with nonsense. The sooner this was over, the sooner he could wrap things up.

He channeled his energy and raised his hand.

[Human King’s Loose Hands], a divine ability descending from above!!!!!

The clouds in the sky shattered, a palm strike falling from the heavens, surrounded by the five elements, grasping the earth, fire, water, and wind. All under heaven is the king’s land, and all who live on it are the king’s subjects. When the emperor’s wrath erupts, millions fall dead, blood splashes for a thousand miles!!!

This was [Human King’s Loose Hands]!!

Lu Feng, who had suppressed his cultivation, was startled, but he dared not disobey the master’s command and lift the suppression on his cultivation.

He could only grit his teeth and withstand the blow with his God Ascension, Ninth Restriction cultivation, raising his palms to the sky.

But when a divine ability was unleashed, how could anyone of the same realm stand against it!?

Just one move!

Boom!!!!

Lu Feng was instantly knocked unconscious.

Compared to going all-out in other places, the Director-General’s headquarters really had some substance—even with a move like that from Lu Ding, the ground didn’t crack.

The scattered force was completely absorbed and neutralized by the array covering the Hanjing Director-General headquarters.

After doing all this, Lu Ding turned his head slightly, casting a sidelong glance at Lu Teng in the water mirror, “Anything else you want to say?”

Lu Teng’s face darkened. He truly hadn’t expected that Lu Ding, who had developed on his own, would possess such terrifying combat power.

Even Lu Feng, a cultivator from the Lu Family, had been defeated by him in the same realm with just one move.

He said, his voice low, “This shouldn’t be a spell, should it?”

Lu Ding didn’t feel obligated to answer any of his questions, “That’s none of your business. All you need to remember is that you lost. Don’t bother me again. This is the last time.”

Lu Teng’s voice grew heavier, “But you carry the blood of the Lu surname—that fact can’t be changed. Even if your mother and I didn’t raise you, can you deny that your current talent is owed to the Lu Family ancestors continuously breaking through realms, influencing the bloodline, and blessing their descendants?!”

“Without the Lu Family bloodline, do you really think you could have achieved what you have today!?”

“That’s the truth!”

Lu Ding was truly fed up.

And he’d had enough of the laughter.

“My current achievements have nothing to do with the Lu Family bloodline. If you insist on dragging the Lu Family bloodline into this, I can extract it and give it back to you. If you still can’t accept that I don’t recognize the two of you as my so-called parents, I can scrape my bones and return them to my father, and cut my flesh and return it to my mother.”

Anyway, with [White Snake Shakes Scales] giving him 100% control over his body, he wouldn’t feel pain.

“No!!!”

Luo Qingshi shouted from the other side, her voice coming through the water mirror.

Lu Teng’s emotions churned again because of Lu Ding’s words, “Lu Ding, do you really not want to come home!?”

Lu Ding’s expression hardened, “Home?”

“Then let me tell you. My name is Lu Ding. I was born in the Third Circle, Great Han. I grew up in Yunhai. I rose from nothing. I work for the 749 Bureau. I spent nineteen years sinking into mediocrity, and the moment I gained power, I soared straight up ten thousand miles. Great Han honors me as Corpse-Shattering Taishui. The new city honors me as the Sin of Arrogance.”

This was the first time Lu Ding had introduced his epithets.

“So my home is only Great Han.”

“And I love this land that gave me birth and raised me. No one has ever mistreated me. When I was still in swaddling clothes, it was Great Han’s welfare policies that tilted toward the orphanage, giving me a place to rest and a tile to shelter me from the rain. When I reached the age to study—”

“It was Great Han’s nine-year compulsory education, plus social welfare, that let me have books to read.”

“At fifteen, I entered high school. The school’s teachers applied for financial aid for me. The uncles and aunties from the street office processed my scholarship. Great Han’s education environment let me earn scholarships. The government issued me subsidies. Great Han let me live in a resettlement relief apartment.”

Lu Ding sighed a little as he spoke, “Birch Grove District, Room 1503.”

Then he raised three fingers, “Three hundred credits a month, one bedroom, one living room—I had my own home. As an orphan, I could live there until I died. After twenty years, the apartment would automatically be mine, registered under my name.”

“You think that’s not my home? Then where is my home supposed to be? Ji Continent, which I’ve only heard of now? Or the Lu Family, which I’ve only heard of now?”

The scene fell silent.

Everyone was quiet.

Compared to Lu Ding’s current glory, his past suffering was a stark contrast—nineteen years of life summed up in just a few hundred words.

But how deep the suffering was, how heavy the grievances weighed—only Lu Ding himself knew.

So he couldn’t reconcile. He would never be able to reconcile in his lifetime.

Wrong was wrong. Right was right. Abandonment was abandonment. Since they had chosen to abandon him, they should have considered him dead in that coldest winter.

Coming back to find him now was nothing but a disgusting act.

Amid the silence.

Luo Qingshi’s voice came through, choked with tears, “But there was a reason for everything.”

Lu Ding said, “I don’t care about the reason. I don’t want to understand your difficulties. Who the hell understands my difficulties? Why do you have to throw this problem at me!?”
