From beginning to end, the calm-as-a-stone youngster never showed any panic. He methodically straightened out the myriad issues, repaired the errors, inventoried the materials, and reinforced the workshop.

The Mutant in the Melting Furnace didn't even have time to appear before it was preemptively detected and dealt with.

Now, he had already begun repairing the water purification core.

"Is this the student of that irritable old Dragon?" Jiang Tongguang sighed in amazement, "With such a calm demeanor, he really doesn't resemble his teacher at all."

Gustav glanced over and nodded slightly, "No matter how irritable Li Lin's temper is, the bell tower is still the Grandmaster's legacy. He is skilled in teaching students. This student resembles the former Carrion Eater, steady and cautious, never taking risks."

"This one isn't bad either, hasn't made a single mistake so far. Hmm, his intuition is strong, his mine-clearing skills are quite good."

On the screen, the dark-skinned examiner kicked open the furnace door, grabbed tongs and pulled out the incompletely developed Mutant, then stuffed it into a large vat of strong acid.

The hissing sound was constant.

Very quickly, in the boiling acid, cooled remnants began to appear.

It was settled.

"This... hmm... his operation is very proficient. It's clear his foundation is solid, he isn't lacking in adaptability, but... isn't he a bit impulsive?"

Jiang Tongguang's gaze fell on another floating image.

Amidst the chaos, the workshop remained steady.

The Mutated Creature that had originally leaped out of the furnace lay on the ground, convulsing and twitching, firmly pinned, struggling in fear.

"You piece of shit, I've put up with you long enough!"

The examiner's face turned ashen as he stepped on the Mutant, his hands enveloped in a spiritual energy, hardening like iron hammers, he raised them, and brought them down with a whistling of wind, cursing incessantly.

"You damn thing, even you have your day! I'll teach you a lesson! You'll never be my partner again—"

"Die! Die! Die! Die!!"

The loud noises echoed endlessly.

The Mutant screeched and struggled futilely until it was hammered to death.

In the brief silence that followed, Jiang Tongguang and Gustav exchanged a glance.

Both were rendered speechless.

"At least, ahem, his boxing skills are proficient, right? Hmm, seeing his handling, he must have trained hard."

Jiang Tongguang shook his head in admiration, "Let me see whose student this is, huh? Little Kong..."

Gustav also fell silent.

"It also... makes sense."

"Indeed."

Jiang Tongguang nodded, "He's definitely a direct disciple."

The myriad changes within the floating images were too numerous to fully comprehend, even for the two directors. They could only set alert conditions and look at the important or dangerous ones, ensuring they could intervene quickly to prevent any irreversible harm to the examiners.

As they monitored, another alarm sounded.

Someone else had opened the workshop door...

"How are there still idiots opening the door at this point?"

Jiang Tongguang frowned and turned to look, then froze.

For a long while, he reached out his hand.

He poked Gustav beside him, again and again.

"Old Gu, Old Gu, come look at this..."

"I told you, don't call me Old Gu!"

Gustav couldn't take it anymore, he turned around angrily, then his gaze was also drawn to the screen.

He fell into a similar stupor.

In the floating projection, as the door opened, the Mutant wandering outside excitedly screeched.

The grotesque figure, sewn together from many corpses, squirmed, its limbs twitched, danced excitedly, and without hesitation, pounced towards the door.

Then, they saw...

The figure standing before the Melting Furnace.

Since he had opened the furnace door, silhouetted against the blazing fire, was only a pitch-black shadow.

So menacing.

The protective suit he wore was covered in scrap iron armor welded together. The diesel engine on his back roared, driving the power structure, sparks leaking from the cable connections.

The exposed giant gears rotated slowly, oily hydraulic rods extended and contracted, forming a terrifyingly simple exoskeleton power structure.

And in his hands was a literal monstrous giant iron hammer.

It still retained the searing heat from the Melting Furnace.

On the massive hammerhead, trapped between steel and flesh, eerie eyes and mouths constantly roved, howling in hunger, struggling, yet firmly fixed, unable to escape.

And on the hammer, between the eyes and bloody mouths, thick saliva and blood tears oozed, dripping to the ground with a hiss.

At this moment, with the mechanical operation, amidst the deafening metallic friction, the iron hammer was slowly raised.

The menacing silhouette cast a pitch-black shadow over the twisted faces of the Mutant.

"Hello—"

Ji Jue said.

And then...

—Boom!!!
