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

Under the force of his two palms pushing horizontally, while detonating the Disaster Mother, the highest peak of the Great Wilderness Realm - the Wasteland Lord’s bedchamber - was instantly cleaved and sliced apart by the terrifying power in Lu Ding’s palm, collapsing together with the mountain itself!!

The Disaster Mother was killed on the spot without even a single scream.

However, the Great Wilderness Realm, as it developed to this day, was the oldest force on Overcast Mountain.

It had foundations and trump cards.

A long time ago it had been said that when facing something like the Way of the Jinche, the only reliable life-saving countermeasure was a replacement death.

But the higher the cultivation level, the more precious the death-replacing artifact had to be.

An artifact capable of dying in place for one who had ascended to deity.

Such things were so rare that most people not only could not use them, they had never even seen one.

This was why the White Sun Palace master and the Sacred Lord of Zhutai, after being slain, died outright—because they were still not rich enough to buy the replacement-death artifacts their enemies could use.

But the Great Wilderness Realm had that kind of backing!!!The exploded blood mist recondensed in an instant.

The Disaster Mother returned to the world of the living, but her face was pale, her cultivation had regressed, her soul left with hidden injuries, and her eyes were full of resentful venom: “Lu Ding, you despicable—!!!!!”

The enraged Disaster Mother raised her hand and began to form seals.

Flames erupted around her into a sea of fire, and jagged barbed spikes sprouted and drove in from all directions with no blind spots.

Lu Ding once more used Celestial Shift to move from the encirclement to outside, then leaped up.

Occupying the high ground, he raised his leg and brought it down like a blade.

Moon Arc Kick!!!

A crescent moon was drawn, black smoke dotting it, white brilliance chill and cutting.

The Disaster Mother merged with the flames to dodge and shift.

Lu Ding’s smile was ferocious; flames, and more flames!!!

This time it was definitely one of the composite materials for True Samadhi Fire!!!

His foot landed.

Boom!!!!!

The moon arc directly cut through the mountain.

Outside, Gongyang Qingrou had also successfully broken through the array.

The moment Yan Feifan, acting on behalf of Lu Ding’s authority, shouted: “Kill!!!!”

All the investigators roared and surged toward the now-fully-revealed Great Wilderness Realm!!!

One after another they charged without fear of death, reckless and unstoppable!!!

Of course, originally they were not this courageous or bloodthirsty.

The main reason was that they followed Lu Ding.

Which leader besides Lu Ding would rush ahead of the investigators?

The investigators were still outside looking on, when the special envoy had already dashed into the array to grapple with the enemy leader!

If their leader takes the lead like that and they still hesitate, how could they ever be proud to say they were investigators from the western New City? How could they claim they followed Lu Ding!!!

Damn it, just do it!!!!

Gongyang Qingrou was carried away by the contagious atmosphere.

Today had contained too many things she couldn’t comprehend.

She couldn’t understand how Lu Ding’s combat power could be this exaggerated, a Spirit Refinement level two striking an opponent of God Ascension level seven so that they couldn’t even lift their head.

An absurdly enhanced body, absurdly powerful slashes, a life-and-death force as obscure and unfathomable as spatial power.

She had thought the Lu Ding she imagined was already terrifying and genius-level.

But seeing it now, imagination paled next to witnessing it firsthand!

Is this even a person!!!!?

And these investigators—their numbers and quality were no match for the monsters within the Great Wilderness Realm. What confidence gave them the nerve to charge at the Great Wilderness Realm, defying the natural order like this!?

Gongyang Qingrou had assumed the main fighting force this time would be her own.

Because besides her, on Lu Ding’s side...

Everyone else, including Lu Ding, seemed so outmatched compared to the Great Wilderness Realm.

From top to bottom, it seemed they were being crushed.

Yet that gap, with Lu Ding suddenly taking action, was being rapidly closed.

Even those investigators could fight beyond their rank.

Gongyang Qingrou watched, stunned.

This... how are they all geniuses!!!!?

She had assumed these investigators were ordinary Qi Refiners, their combat power just matching their current cultivation norms.

But the result...

They were all geniuses who could fight beyond their level!!!!

Fourth Restriction investigators pressing Fifth Restriction monsters into submission.

Fifth Restriction investigators going toe-to-toe with God Ascension monsters.

One must remember that across species, humans leaned more toward cultivation while monsters leaned toward raw combat.

Yet now the weak defeated the strong across species and levels.

Gongyang Qingrou could not understand when talent had become so cheap.

Ahead, battle roared. Snapped back to focus after a blink, Gongyang Qingrou quickly raised her hand to form a technique to aid Lu Ding in killing the Disaster Mother.

But before her attack could land, Lu Ding detected her intention.

“Watch them for me, prevent casualties. I’ll handle this myself!!!!”

He spoke, then used Call of the Seized Soul.

“Disaster Mother!!!!!”

At once, the Disaster Mother—whose assault had been like a sudden gale and driving rain—paused abruptly.

She’d been hit!!!!

Lu Ding lifted his hand into a claw and drew it across the void.

“Explode for me!!!!!”

Water Dao System seized control of the blood raging within the Disaster Mother, Touch of Gold Turns to Stone decomposed and recomposed her spiritual energy structure, destabilizing and causing violent reactions.

The Disaster Mother’s body began to erupt in successive explosions.

Boom, boom, boom...

Lu Ding turned, then returned his hand in a palm strike!!

Human King’s Loose Hands!!!!!

External force applied!!!

A horizontal push palm!!

When it struck the Disaster Mother’s body—already in an unstable state—it detonated instantly!!!

Boom!!!!!

A mushroom cloud rose!!!!!

The Disaster Mother’s body was torn apart once more, suffering grievous damage, flesh separating, revealing a riddled, semi-transparent soul form flickering within like a dying candle in the wind.

She clutched her chest: “You... what kind of method is this?”

Lu Ding used Celestial Shift to close in for the final blow: “A monster who never finished even high school, you don’t deserve to hear it, nor could you understand it. Go die!!!”

“Don’t you dare hit my mother!!!!”

A massive fire-demon mask charged with ferocity.

Its residual aura alone shattered the mountain peak into rivers of magma; this fire was even more dreadful than the Disaster Mother’s or Song Wuji’s.

Lu Ding turned and waved, the Way of the Jinche erupting, unleashing an extreme sharpness that slashed through all things.

One strike!!!

It cleaved the fire-demon mask, scattering burning blood-fire across the sky.

Screams erupted.

“Ah!!!!!!!”

The Disaster Mother cried out in panic: “Dou’er!!!!”

The fire-demon mask collapsed.

Beneath it was revealed a young man in flaming attire, wielding a sinister thin curved blade, half his cheek smeared with blood, half his head sheared away.

Yet even like this, he had not died.

The remaining single eye burned with flame: “Bastard who bullies my mother, die!!!!”

Lu Ding’s body was lit aflame from afar.

Raging fire engulfed him.

The youth hit the ground and bent to scoop up the Disaster Mother: “Mother, your child arrived late.”

The Disaster Mother looked at the youth in disbelief; in this state he seemed dominated by the older brother within, but his mental state was no longer the usual violent slaughtering madness.

The woman raised her mangled, mostly fleshless hand and gently stroked the youth’s cheek: “Does Dou’er hurt?”

The youth shook his head: “Mother, I’m not hurt!!”

As the mother and son shared this tender moment.

In the next instant, accompanied by a ‘boom’.

The Disaster Mother’s eyes, which had just brightened with panic, widened as if she’d heard the world’s most terrible sound.

She saw the youth who had been basking in his mother’s warmth, his expression frozen, his head fly upward, caught steadily by a bony, clearly jointed, slender long-fingered hand.

Lu Ding’s voice sounded in the Disaster Mother’s ear like the whisper of a demon: “Did I say it’s over? Stay here and enjoy your mother-and-son bonding.”
