≮The individual plant has matured, is being recorded into the Corner Botany Encyclopedia, and will soon be granted a name, and provide comprehensive plant ranking information. Please check back later≯

Luo Di slowly lowered his head, looking at the relic left by the human body, the pitch-black left arm.

Just a gaze was enough to provoke a reaction in the arm itself, which autonomously disassembled and transformed into biomimetic muscle pipelines. Each line seemed alive, like eels burrowing into the left arm and assimilating.

As for the human body's "Old Spine," it originally belonged to the Hell Projection.

With the arrival of this Hell Body, the human Old Spine naturally dissipated.

Luo Di did not directly attack Yu Lu, but instead used this significant node to carefully perceive and re-experience the changes throughout his body.

He sat cross-legged, temporarily placing the human head beside him.

Just as he sat down, the chill of death arrived. However, this chill was not dangerous; rather, it helped Luo Di cool down.

The marathon to reach here was indeed a bit hot.

Two cold arms extended from behind, resting on his shoulders, so light they felt like backpack straps. Immediately thereafter, a soft, boneless body pressed against him.

There was no disturbance, just quietly hanging there.

[Pituitary Space]

Gray-haired Luo Di stood inside the cultivation room, admiring his fully matured plant, not yet named by the Corner.

It had already transformed from the original plant into a small tree.

Then he dug through the soil, checking slightly on the condition of the corpses inside.

Former victims, including the human Luo Di, were buried here, with tree roots tightly connected to their corpses in a symbiotic relationship.

"Finally reached this step, it was indeed right to rely on Sister Yu Lu... Although I am not entirely death-aligned, wherever I go, death inevitably follows.

In a situation of inevitable death, one must behead oneself to achieve maturity.

It is the fastest shortcut, I seized it! Here, the Corner and Hell have achieved integration, no longer fragmented and chaotic, but rather a new whole.

No need to waste time venturing to the Dungeon to grow, now I can do what I truly want to do."

Luo Di did not linger long, leaving the cultivation room, leaving the Dungeon, arriving at the lunar surface.

"Hell Will once said, the Great Demon's next step is to establish his own kingdom. With the current plant maturity and system integration, I can barely glimpse the kingdom's outline and know the general direction.

Once established, I should be able to return to Hell and start a new force of my own.

The initial site for establishing the kingdom is right here, on this Moon.

When my plants and pituitary space completely fuse, that should be the day the kingdom is established... For now, I must not rush, this stage requires solid and careful progress.

Of course, if I could kill the Joker, maybe it would speed up the progress."

Gazing at the hazy outline of the kingdom at the Moon's edge, Luo Di's mind brimmed with emotions.

He opened his eyes.

Luo Di awakened again, feeling the cool and light backpack.

"Sister Yu Lu, thank you for believing in me."

"First time meeting someone so unafraid of death..."

"Shall we continue? The test isn't over yet; perhaps I can also assist you, Yu Lu, in advancing to a higher level."

"Alright."

The backpack vanished, re-hanging on the rope a hundred meters away.

A nearly five-meter-long silver scythe was held in one hand, while the other hand aimed a finger drawing a circle gesture toward Luo Di.

[Death]

It was as if a pitch-black word was directly engraved between Luo Di's soul.

All those hanging ropes that descended from the sky locked onto their target, endlessly looping over. Moreover, the loop around the neck involved no process; the rope would directly appear around the neck.

Sigh... Luo Di took a deep breath.

He could sense the threat of each hanging rope, capturing precisely each one's approaching direction.

An invisible small area field silently unfolded, severing all hanging ropes that came close.

The muscles in his calves tensed.

It seemed as if the ground of the track sank slightly in response,

In a blink, Luo Di was before the hanging Yu Lu, with pitch-black pupils staring at her.

Of course,

Yu Lu also saw clearly, she knew Luo Di would definitely choose to engage in close combat.

The scythe in her hand had already swung out,

carrying the ultimate death beheading along with it,

even the sliced-through space would freeze due to death, the flow of time slowing down, making it nearly impossible for the beheaded target to correctly perceive the scythe's swing, their head severed in an instant.

Click!

A tongue flicked.

Luo Di did not dodge, placing both hands in front of him.

At the moment of the slice,

ten fingers clutched tightly!

Clang!

The chill of death followed the impact, spreading outward, hot blood dripping from the air, and three fingers fell.

Luo Di, who should have been beheaded, remained completely unscathed, with his neck untouched.

Because he actually gripped the blade with his bare hand, forcibly stopping this beheading, at the mere cost of three fingers on his right hand.

Luo Di's pitch-black eyes still stared at her, unwaveringly.

"What?"

Yu Lu was shocked, feeling a label named "Prey" affixed to her, impossible to shake off.

Suddenly, a force of sheer brute strength accompanied by a spine-shivering engine's hum came forth.

The scythe was forcibly disarmed from Yu Lu's hand, leaving her body exposed.

And in Luo Di's hand, the seemingly simple slaughter knife brought from the Fifth Hospital had long been modified by the dark substance of his left arm.

One slash came!

Yu Lu quickly adjusted her posture,

A terrifying long tongue dangled from her mouth, characteristic of a hanging ghost, targeting Luo Di's neck to entwine.

Their attacks were on the verge of colliding.

A reverse vortex began to spin.

Buzz!

Grass swayed,

The two stood again on opposite ends of the field, returning to their initial confrontation state.

Teacher Guo's voice suddenly came from behind:

"Enough!

Luo Di, you've just completed the plant's maturity, reaching a new stage. It's not fitting to continue fighting as death might disrupt your hard-earned 'integrity'.

As for Miss Yu Lu's performance, we have all seen it; it's enough to give a reasonable score."

Yet Luo Di didn't agree. He knew his condition was very stable. Even if injured, the system wouldn't be affected.

He wanted to seize the chance to spar well against Yu Lu, to familiarize himself with his newfound self, potentially aiding Yu Lu's progress.

Just as he was about to object,

Teacher Guo's voice privately reached him: 『Walls have ears, don't reveal too many of your hidden cards.』

Luo Di suddenly realized, instantly collecting all his Killing Intent, halting further conflict. He walked towards Yu Lu, offering her a big embrace.

"Sister Yu Lu, let's make up for it later."

"Alright."

The embrace ended.

Luo Di tousled his gray long hair with one hand, slightly moving the long-unused metallic chin, returning to backstage.

Upon the stage two gazes shot towards him, making Luo Di aware that the real trouble wasn't the assessment.

However, Wu Wen didn't show any displeased expression, quickly approaching to offer a congratulatory hug.

Who would've known?

A powerful arm suddenly reached out, pulling Luo Di away.

Wu Wen was left empty-handed but dared not voice any complaints.

The one pulling Luo Di was Gust, currently looking excited, quietly asking:

"Luo Di quickly let me savor your tongue now... now this is how one should connect with Hell! I can already smell the aroma of barbecue.

By the way, later go tell that Miss named Yu, to give me one of her long tongues too."

Luo Di didn't mind, decisively severing his own tongue completely.

A fierce savor followed!

Gust felt as if he was near suffocation.

The previous unreliable greedy look immediately turned exceptionally serious, reassessing the present Luo Di.

"You, not only achieved plant maturity but also realized system integration.

Has Hell World endowed you with a certain permission? There's a primordial heat hidden in your tongue not expected of a regular demon."

"Indeed, if I can continue to grow, reaching your level, Senior Gust, I might establish a new faction within Hell, gaining direct recognition from Hell World."

"Good! That's great! Doesn't that mean you can have tongues of countless demons? Once you've organized, don't forget the teacher's kindness!

But well, let's deal with this Corner next then talk about Hell.

Now you can hunt those Outer Realm pests."

Luo Di simply responded with an OK gesture.

The teachers' scoring session quickly ended, with Maximus at the lowest score of 7.5, the Grandmother scoring the highest at 10, and Yu Lu achieving an average score of 8.5, directly advancing.

Nearing the penultimate evaluation round.

"The new student requiring assessment is Mia from the Eight Evil People, and the one responsible for assessment is... Hua Yuan."

At the announcement of this list,

Luo Di immediately turned his head to watch, but not at Hua Yuan or Mia.

Instead, he looked at Yu Ze, who was beside Miss Song and preparing with warm-up exercises... For a moment, Luo Di began to doubt the randomness of the supposedly drawn match-ups.

Such an assessment, claiming to be random draws, seemed more like predetermined match-ups arranged by the teachers.
