"No, no, everything's wrong. It doesn't look like a Mutated Transformation at all, it's almost like…"

"Crap, has the Security Bureau made its move?!"

The moment he realized this, the last stubborn resister was crushed into sauce by Jiang Xuan like a chicken.

Only Duden, a craftsman, was hiding in the workshop, drenched in cold sweat, sitting on the ground and barely able to get up.

"Calm down, calm down!"

Even though it was a makeshift workshop, his preparations were thorough enough. The entire workshop was integrated into the Earth Bone, blending into the surrounding area for kilometers, as stable as a mountain.

The external illusion overlaid on reality was a defense personally crafted by his teacher. They couldn't find anything and would surely leave.

They absolutely couldn't see, absolutely couldn't find out...

In that instant, the eyes of those two scoundrels lying on the ground stared straight at the workshop.

"They saw it!"

Swallowing dryly, Duden instinctively wanted to retreat. He couldn't stand up; it was more like crawling, his mind in total disarray: "Don't panic, Duden, don't panic!"

No matter what, this was his own workshop, they absolutely couldn't handle it.

As long as he made no mistakes, just sitting steady in the workshop and waiting for rescue would suffice...

Then, he saw Lou Feng take out various specialized equipment aimed at breaking through the workshop's outer defenses, and he couldn't help but scream out loud!

Only a fellow craftsman could truly yearn for the demise of another, the ones most concerned about a craftsman's workshop were always another craftsman!

At this moment, seeing Lou Feng well-prepared, Duden was sweating profusely, almost on the verge of screaming out loud.

Following that, he saw a young man with some scars on his face placing his hands directly on the entrance of the workshop's outer perimeter. Immediately after, an alarm detecting spiritual material resonance went off again!

Was he going for a direct attack?!

Being part of the same Embers System, he understood this approach too well. First, a spiritual sensation to analyze the main structure of the workshop, then search for its weaknesses… No, this didn't look like mere detection!

It looked more like… an invasion?

After a moment of terror, Duden was stunned, and then again couldn't suppress his rage.

"You look down on who?!"

Suppressing those of the same rank was a common occurrence among the Chosen Ones, with those belonging to the same system often dominating the weaker ones. Especially in the Heavenly Origin System, once there was a rank disparity, the suppression was absolute!

The Embers System needed no further mention.

Apprentices slaved over their creations and spilt blood to craft them, and in the hands of a craftsman, they could be effortlessly reversed and deciphered, leaving no secrets hidden.

Moreover, with a rank difference, they could even forcefully seize control of a weaker craftsman's alchemy work and dominate it.

But who the hell are you?!

Trembling, Duden put on a pair of glasses, analyzed repeatedly, observed carefully, thought hard, but no matter how he looked, this kid was just a junior in the Summoning Stage, nowhere near the level of a craftsman, possibly even a wild one, barely having attended a few classes, and here he was trying to mess things up in my place?!

Just with you?!

You wish!

Duden's expression gradually became ferocious as he gripped the core floating in midair, pulling the workshop's anti-spiritual interference retaliation to the maximum.

He wanted to see this little scoundrel scream painfully and be burned to a crisp and reduced to ashes after connecting with the matrix and workshop's spiritual linkage!

Snap!

In the sudden silence, his expression locked on his face.

As if petrified.

That instant, the outermost layer of the workshop, maintaining the illusionary disguise, lost responsiveness without any sign.

The illusion covering the exterior of the workshop shattered with a sound!

As though it had never existed…

Then, he saw that scar-faced brat again, his eyes lecherous and a disgusting smile on his face, making despised motions towards the workshop's defense layer.

Snap!

The alarm sounded again, and right after the illusionary circuit, the repulsion boundary lost responsiveness!

As if an invisible hand had stripped it from within the core of the workshop, shattering it in an instant, vanishing like smoke, as if it had never existed.

Something's not right, definitely not right... this is so damn wrong!!!

Duden froze where he stood, desperately suppressing his urge to scream, no longer distinguishing between his heavy chaotic breaths and the hallucinatory cries filling his ears, wondering which was more piercing.

Gulping laboriously.

Like falling into an ice cave.

Could today really be his...

.

"Whew, that feels great!"

Ji Jue whistled, listening to the sharp sound of a massive amount of Spiritual Circuits shattering, crumbling under his hands, both illusions and repulsion dissipating without a trace.

A dark gate finally appeared from the ruins, no longer disguised, weakly and hesitantly waiting for the next abuse...

A massive amount of Superior Essence fell into his hands, grabbed in one swoop by Mechanical Descent, immediately transmuted!

The visible rapid progress nearly made him moan.

Now, he finally understood why so many peers feared their own teacher!

Even if the structure of the workshop was very tight, and the circuit structure complex and stable, when faced with the Dissociation Technique's ruthlessness, defenses were completely useless. No matter how many defenses there were, it was like wearing a few paper clothes; once grasped, they were simply torn apart for fun.
