Chapter 565: Skipping a Realm—Breakthrough to Heaven-Man Second Stage Mid-Battle
The grayish gloom on the misfortune hand, when encountering the golden light radiating from the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot, quickly melted away like early snow meeting warm sunlight.
With a loud crash.
It was just like the truck promotional ads from childhood.
Lu Ding drove the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot, directly smashing through the misfortune hand and bursting out from within.
He pulled the reins, shifting direction and turning, with a smoothness no less impressive than an AE86 drifting through drainage channels.
Yes, the Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot was meant for sitting.
Comfortable, pleasant, with style.
But it wasn't fun enough, not cool enough.
Driving the chariot himself was filled with a sense of power.
With another directional shift and turn, Lu Ding charged toward the gathering misfortune around him."I'll show you how to run!!!"
Roar!!!!
The dragon roared, the golden dragon surged forward, pulling the golden chariot to crush everything in its path.
The surrounding misfortune was so terrified it trembled uncontrollably, quickly retreating, not daring to confront Lu Ding head-on at all.
They were chased down and slaughtered by him.
During this process, Lu Ding's cultivation was also rapidly increasing.
His Heavenly Human First Restriction late stage realm, as he just shifted the chariot's direction, directly broke through to Heavenly Human Second Restriction.
And as Lu Ding continued his pursuit, his cultivation kept surging upward.
Initial stage, middle stage!!!!
Directly jumping from his original Heavenly Human First Restriction middle stage cultivation to Heavenly Human Second Restriction middle stage, a full complete major realm advancement.
Without any exaggeration, it even slightly exceeded expectations, heading straight toward the late stage.
Finally stopping just one step away.
He didn't even need to consume any more heavenly treasures or earthly valuables.
With Spirit Marrow providing foundational support, just finding someone to fight would suffice.
Lu Ding slowly opened his eyes in the cultivation chamber, suppressing the radiating red light.
He murmured quietly: "I've finally gotten the protagonist treatment too, able to break through in the midst of battle."
Of course, when protagonists break through during battle, they themselves don't know it.
But Lu Ding's breakthrough during battle was something he was aware of.
Just fight and you'll get it!
But there was a precondition - he had to take it seriously.
Lu Ding stood up and stretched his limbs.
"Next, it's time to properly clean up the White Ridge area."
Before his seclusion, Lu Ding had instructed Qian Jin to cooperate with Fu Xinghe in compiling information about the demons, monsters, and ghosts in the White Ridge area.
Ready for him to come out and slaughter them all!!!
Who said only demons and monsters could hunt people, and people couldn't hunt demons and monsters?
Of course.
There were preconditions for this too.
For minor demons and small monsters, as long as they didn't commit evil deeds or deliberately appear before Lu Ding, he couldn't be bothered to seek them out, letting them do whatever they wanted in Egypt.
Leaving some soup for other investigators to drink.
But the big ones were different.
They posed threats and could drop big skills.
Some might say, what about powerful cultivators? They pose threats too, so why not trouble them?
Please, humans and demons/monsters/ghosts aren't even the same race.
The flesh and blood of the weak wouldn't be served on the dining tables of the powerful.
But demons, monsters, and ghosts eat people.
There are demons and monsters that don't eat people too, we can't paint them all with the same brush, but they're few. As for how to distinguish between them, that wasn't Lu Ding's concern.
For those who truly haven't committed any wrongs, then you should leave, get far away from the new city. Lu Ding was willing to give genuinely honest demons and monsters a chance.
The new city was built by Great Han, and Great Han never issued identification cards to demons and monsters. Those residing here were essentially illegal immigrants, undocumented residents.
Either you die.
Nothing more to say.
Thinking of this, Lu Ding pulled open the cultivation chamber door and walked out.
Subconsciously wanting to welcome a brand new day.
But when he looked up, the sky was chaotic.
No distinction between day and night, spring and autumn, summer and winter.
Instantly, all his good mood vanished.
This damn place, when will it finally return to normal?
Fu Xinghe, holding documents, saw that Lu Ding had emerged from seclusion and approached from the side, saying:
"Brother Lu, those families, while you were in seclusion cultivating, have already counted and packaged the Zeng Family's assets and delivered them to the bureau."
Lu Ding didn't look at the documents, but instead asked in return: "Did they take any for themselves?"
"Aside from dividing the territory among themselves, they didn't touch any of the other things. In fact, they even paid quite a bit out of their own pockets."
This was answering Lu Ding's question.
Fu Xinghe continued supplementing: "I divided the items into three portions. The part to be sent to Hanjing has already been sealed, just waiting for your signature."
"The other two portions - what should be stored in the warehouse has been stored, and I've completed the accounting."
"What should be distributed, I've also compiled statistics for, but haven't distributed yet, waiting for you to emerge and give approval."
"Additionally, the equipment sent from Hanjing, I received it and counted it - everything matches, currently also in the warehouse."
After reporting the official matters, it was time for personal ones.
Fu Xinghe took out his small notebook, opened it, and read:
"Your portion, I've categorized."
"Divided into: monetary assets, ore materials, and resource materials."
"Since Brother Lu you mentioned before that you wanted to create petal-style weapons, and in large quantities, I've investigated during this period. In White Ridge, there's only one weapons shop that can guarantee both quality and quantity."
"But the price isn't cheap, so my thought is to allocate the money and ore materials to them for your weapon forging."
"Brother Lu, what do you think..."
As he spoke, he handed over the notebook, which contained Fu Xinghe's own investigation records.
Lu Ding looked at it.
Expensive.
Painful to the wallet.
But when he thought about later, when he would take action himself, accompanied by falling flower petals everywhere, killing invisibly - both flashy and cool.
Lu Ding felt this money was worth spending!!!!
It wasn't like he didn't have it, wasn't like he couldn't afford it.
Extravagant!
Just rich!!!
Moreover, he now had the [Golden Dragon Agarwood Chariot], such a stylish extraordinary phenomenon - shouldn't it be complemented with gorgeous and elegant petals to adorn its appearance?
When he wanted to run people over with his chariot later, where would he get so many hands to engage in close combat?
These petals could perfectly compensate for that.
"Buy!!! Give them money if they want money, give them whatever they want! If it's not enough, we'll go confiscate more today!!!!"
Anyway, he was going out to kill demons and monsters later - the wool comes from the sheep's back.
Could he worry about lacking money?!
Hey!
Lu Ding's statement led into the next topic Fu Xinghe wanted to discuss.
He took out documents and said.
"Brother Lu, based on the intelligence before your cultivation and the local situation in White Ridge, plus White Ridge 749's archival records, I've compiled a detailed plan for cleaning up the demons and monsters."
As he flipped through the pages, he continued speaking.
"In the White Ridge area, aside from minor demons and small monsters, many powerful demons and monsters have intricate connections with each other - some in the open, some in the shadows."
"Some operate in groups, some fight individually."
"So, to eradicate them, we need to start from the beginning."
"And at the start, we can't act rashly, otherwise killing one might cause a whole group to flee."
"So I created an anonymous reporting procedure. During the time Brother Lu you were in seclusion cultivating, I printed this procedure as QR codes and had investigators distribute them."
"As long as someone has been victimized by demons or monsters, they can scan the QR code to report anonymously. No need to fill in reporter information, just need to submit a certain amount of evidence, and it comes directly to me, without passing through others' hands."
