Chapter 470 - 263 Disaster Without Light_2 Modified after:
The mutated creature's face was instantly drenched.
Like a spray can, the compressed canister released grey-black foam that reacted instantly upon encountering air, hardening and sticking together. In less than a second, it solidified into weightless hard blocks.
Subsequently, it encapsulated the majority of the mutated creature and glued it to the ground.
"..."
The mutated creature froze in place, dazed, instinctively struggling, and then struggling harder, fighting to free itself.
It finally managed to open small cracks in the hardened foam.
Freedom was within sight.
Unfortunately, it was too late...
In mere seconds, Ji Jue had already dragged his heavy exoskeleton frame, step by step, to its front.
He lowered his head, his dark shadow covering the creature's twisted and convulsing face.
Suddenly, he smiled.
"Running away? Why aren't you running now?"
Ji Jue pointed a finger and suddenly asked, "I just said 'hello,' but you wanted to leave without even saying 'goodbye.' Isn't that a bit rude? Are you looking down on me?"
The mutated creature was dazed, its exposed fragmented face writhing as if trying to speak.
But immediately, under the rapidly magnifying dark shadow, a blast resounded!
The hammer struck down!
"Knocking on the door, huh!?"
Boom!!!
"Shouting so loud?!
Boom!!!
"So damn rude!!!
Boom!!!!
Amidst the continuous roaring, blood sprayed out like torrential rain with the sound of shattered bones and deformed flesh, splattering on his handsome face.
It stained his smile red.
He laughed.
In the midst of the horrific wailing and cries, he couldn't hold it in any longer, bursting into frenzied laughter.
.
.
At this moment, in front of the flickering light of the Tower of Transformation, the examiners had fallen into a prolonged silence, for a long, long time...
For a brief moment, Jiang Tongguang wanted to force a smile and say something like 'it's not so bad,' but he felt that no matter how he looked at it, the scene was far from okay!
More importantly...
"What is that?"
Gustav pointed at the canister that had just sprayed foam on the door.
Jiang Tongguang wasn't completely sure either, squinting for a long time: "Hmm, it seems like...the half-can of gaseous compressed gel originally stored in the workshop?"
Like the gray tile fragments and various parts, it was meant to be used by the candidates to repair the workshop and maintain equipment.
After all, an exam is still an exam. Even Gustav wouldn't be strict enough to throw candidates into a completely barren place for wilderness survival; they should at least have some basic tools.
But this seemed wrong...
Gustav grew more puzzled: "Since he used the gaseous compressed gel here, what did he use to repair the workshop's cracks?"
"He used, um... quite exquisite masonry skills."
Jiang Tongguang pulled up the recorded footage, but upon seeing the scene, he couldn't help but rub his eyes repeatedly: "But honestly, his craftsmanship is really impressive. He even smoothed the walls while he was at it!"
"..."
The recorded footage faithfully documented Ji Jue's process.
Including using gray tile fragments and ashes from the melting furnace, even powder from many discarded parts, after ascending and purifying them, he mixed them with grease, ultimately creating a large bucket of endless paste.
Admittedly, it was convenient and useful, but its effectiveness was far from sufficient!
Just a quick calculation would show it could barely suffice for a while... oh, he only intended for it to last that long anyway, so no big deal.
Gustav remained silent for a long time before finally asking:
"What about the mutated pollution that leaked in?"
"..."
Jiang Tongguang's expression twitched, pointing to some cables attached to the wall in the footage: "He funneled it all into the melting furnace to cultivate that mutant creature as a catalyst. The results were outstanding."
In the silence, the two exchanged a look, both sighing in unison.
"What a damn genius!"
"Ye Xian really stumbled upon a gem...
"At least the Hai Zhou Association's report wasn't wrong, with his level and ability..."
Jiang Tongguang nodded in agreement: "He definitely has great potential."
Setting aside other factors, his quick response, rapid modifications, and unexpected contingency measures alone earned him the labels 'swift, precise, ruthless, and cunning!'"
Faced with such a situation, an ordinary apprentice might break down crying; how could they laugh like him as if striking gold?
It was a reality.
Materials directly refreshed in the furnace.
Isn't that striking gold?
"If you told me this was his first time dealing with a mutated creature, I wouldn't believe it."
Jiang Tongguang sighed, turning to Ji Jue's record from the Spring City Recovery Department of the Hai Zhou Association: Excellent, considerate, cooperative with colleagues, takes responsibility in emergencies, and has experience handling mutated creatures.
Initially, they thought it was a courtesy compliment, typical for young elites. Little did they expect, the supervisor at the Spring City Recovery Department had been too conservative.
This was called 'some experience'?
His skill in refining mutant creatures was so adept it nearly surpassed their own proficiency!
Were it not for the absence of any sign of collusion with evil entities and the endorsements of three masters, Jiang Tongguang would've suspected him to be a direct disciple of some major association infiltrating as a mole.
Furthermore, considering his extremely solid foundation, his adept use of ancient alchemy, and various skillful operations...
