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

When stances are opposed and life and death are at stake, standing firm in one’s stance, that is true!!!

But the past bonds of friendship, so many years of camaraderie, those were also true!

The Clear Wind Swordmaster could accept killing the Heavenly Demon if he remained stubbornly unrepentant!

But he could not accept that even when the man had already stopped moving, he still had to be beaten to death.

The previous second, Lu Ding was still in the distance; the next second, he stood before the Clear Wind Swordmaster.

”I respect you for being an upright man, for being willing to speak and act on behalf of others. Even when outmatched, facing someone you once had ties with, you did not hesitate or back down. But that does not mean I have the temper to tolerate you slapping away the courtesy I extend!”

”If reasoned discussion is something you cannot understand, then I can give you a chance to stand up. Fists and feet, I also know a thing or two.”

”Lei Xiao, release him.”

Upon hearing Lu Ding’s command, Lei Xiao removed the knee pressing down on the Clear Wind Swordmaster’s back.He stood up.

Wearing a smile, he said to the Clear Wind Swordmaster, ”Pretty boy, try to last a bit longer under Brother Lu.”

The Clear Wind Swordmaster could no longer hear Lei Xiao’s mockery.

His entire focus was on Lu Ding.

He summoned back the precious sword that Lei Xiao had sent flying.

Raising it, he leveled it at Lu Ding: ”I do not care who you are, and I do not care.......”

Bang!!!!

A fist slammed into his forehead. An electric punch came flying in and struck the Clear Wind Swordmaster into a bruised, dark mess, sending him flying straight out, his brain short-circuiting from the numbing punch, half his brain aching.

He hit the ground unconscious, and even then his body was still twitching uncontrollably.

Just watching hurt.

Lei Xiao shook his head and raised both hands: ”Trash, you should train more. Have you ever looked for your own reasons?”

Lu Ding glanced at the fist wrapped in armor and followed up: ”Not much skill, but quite a temper, a whole lot of bullshit, and not a few words either. If I do not give you a lesson, you truly will not know the height of the heavens and the depth of the earth.”

Who the hell was going over there to debate reason with him, to waste words?

Did he not look at what kind of place this was?

Did he really think reality worked like novels, where everyone stands around watching, and those two uninvolved bystanders pull things back and forth, one line after another?

When the situation turns bad, they already ran off long ago.

See.

Over on the Salvation Alliance side, the armored general was quietly slipping away.

Lu Ding used Celestial Shift to go over.

”And you?”

He actually really wanted to kill this guy, but the Salvation Alliance members currently present were not even enough to fill the gaps between Lu Ding’s teeth. If he wiped them all out, it would definitely alert the snake.

So he could only wait for now.

This armored general, earlier when facing Mu Xuecheng, had been so heroic.

But now, facing Lu Ding.

As long as the green hills remain, there will be no shortage of firewood to burn.

Kneel!!!

Thud!

Both knees hit the ground: ”This humble one begs the lord to spare our lives.”

Lu Ding nodded: ”Do not think I cannot see your little movements. Just now you were trying to slip away, right?”

The armored general instantly felt the pressure. Nervous, his hands were sweating!

He did not know how to explain.

The next second, Lu Ding spoke: ”But I do not care. As long as you knelt, that is enough. I am not the sort who enjoys slaughter. To stop armed conflict is true martial virtue. My intent lies in balance, not in killing.”

That remark could only fool others. Even as he said it, Lu Ding felt it was against his conscience.

But to cast a net and hook a big fish, to earn more spirit stones, it was no disgrace.

Hearing this, the armored general doubted his own ears. This person who had appeared with such force earlier actually claimed to stop armed conflict as true martial virtue, to have his intent in balance, not in killing?

He was astonished.

He found it hard to believe.

But looking at Lu Ding’s face, a great love for all people, an appearance of prosperity and peace under heaven, a peerless bearing.

Sometimes.

Appearances truly possess a rather deep deceptive quality.

It was not that the armored general had never seen good-looking people. It was just that he had never seen someone as good-looking as Lu Ding.

On that calm face, between the brows and eyes, radiated the brilliance of divinity, as if a god loved the world, making it hard to question his words.

This was the aura brought by the True Method of Feeding the Divine, through the Third Circle, in an environment of prosperous peace under heaven, being pushed forth by the nation, and worshiped by hundreds of millions.

This was no small number.

Even true great gods of the Second Circle, few could have so many believers. Although they were merely nominal believers, with persistence over time, the boost they brought was enormous.

The armored general never even thought in this direction.

After all, who could imagine that the living person before them was actually a living god enjoying the worship of hundreds of millions, whose every word was divine bewitchment?

The armored general lowered his head: ”Thank you, lord.”

Lu Ding hummed in acknowledgment: ”Get up.”

Finally, he looked toward Gouchen Hall. Before Lu Ding could speak, Mu Xuecheng, who had earlier confronted the armored general head-on for Gouchen Hall, took out Gouchen Hall’s token.

”I am one of Gouchen Hall’s true disciples.”

Lu Ding teleported over, snatched the token away, and held it in his hand.

Mu Xuecheng reached to snatch it back immediately: ”You.........”

Bang!!!

A kick!!!

The figure did not go flying. The force penetrated into the body.

Mu Xuecheng was kicked into bouncing on the spot, then heavily slammed onto the ground, face flushed red, lying prone on the ground, in so much pain she could not speak for a time.

”Gouchen Hall?”

”Heh.......”

He crushed the token with one hand.

”Others might sell you face for Gouchen Hall’s sake, but I will not. If you have complaints, you are welcome to find the old things of Gouchen Hall to come see me. A third-rate faction, and it can still strut around outside. Truly broadening.”

Lu Ding already had a poor impression of Gouchen Hall because of Fatty’s matter.

Now Mu Xuecheng was flashing Gouchen Hall’s token around to show off!

If not her, then who?

Lu Ding would even hit the Clear Wind Swordmaster.

Would he spare her? Men and women were equal. No one could act tough in front of Lu Ding.

Having caught her breath, Mu Xuecheng raised her head to look at Lu Ding: ”Arro... arrogance!!!”

”What sect are you from, that you dare insult my Gouchen Hall like this!!?”

The way she said it was like a child comparing, ”My dad is a boss, who is your dad!?”

Lu Ding lowered his eyes. If he did not need to hide his identity as a disciple of Lü Mountain right now, he would definitely have to size up this woman point by point.

”You do not need to know what sect I am from. I simply look down on your Gouchen Hall. What can you do about it?”

”You.......”

Smack!!!

A palm swung over.

”Shut up, idiot.”

”I do not want to hear your nonsense.”

Directly smashing Mu Xuecheng’s face.

Lu Ding turned around: ”Spread the word. Any destined one may participate in the contest for the Thunder Roar Hall’s opportunity. Opportunity has no owner. Any person, demon, devil, monster, or spirit may claim it themselves!”

Because Lu Ding had beaten Mu Xuecheng, it made the Salvation Alliance’s armored general almost shout out from sheer delight!!!

Therefore, facing Lu Ding’s words.

He was incomparably cooperative.

After all, he could not resist anyway. Better to go along.

Immediately he ordered his subordinates. After carrying out Lu Ding’s command.

He leaned closer.

”Lord, later our Salvation Alliance’s Third Sovereign will come here. Might this humble one introduce the two of you, so you can get acquainted?”

At this moment, the armored general was completely immersed in his own world.

He idolized the Third Sovereign.

But he also felt Lu Ding was good!!

Really fucking good!!!
