Half of Yu Ze's body was bitten off, and he had already drawn the array.

"That shard ground into gold powder, a naturally formed Vajra Body, was actually broken. I had foreseen he would grow, but I didn't expect him to ascend today."

He was seriously injured; this bite and devour not only took away flesh but also hurt the soul.

Bean-sized sweat continuously dripped down Yu Ze's forehead, rarely had he been forced into such a predicament. Despite being fully prepared, something still went wrong.

A pill emitting a stench appeared in his palm,

Yu Ze, though a bit heartbroken, swallowed it in one gulp.

At the same time, he inserted several silver needles around the wound to stimulate acupoints.

Swish!

Half his body, along with his entire arm, regrew instantly.

But Yu Ze, due to excessive consumption, collapsed onto the ground and started vomiting.

Looking at his trembling arms, he wanted to stand up but suddenly fell.

Yu Ze suddenly realized a problem,

he seemed to have lost... If this wasn't a test but a private encounter, he would already be dead.

"Come!"

With a gesture of two fingers,

a copper coin flew over,

forming into a sword body,

Yu Ze used the sword as support to finally stand up... but now he was no longer as confident as before, instead filled with self-doubt and inner turmoil.

He looked up again,

the steps and the Red Door had all disappeared, leaving only the thin, bony Hunter standing on the green grass.

No scent of flesh, no mountain of meat behind, no threat whatsoever.

None at all,

Hunter's entire face also lost its confusion, becoming as ordinary as any normal person.

The two stared at each other,

Yu Ze felt no killing intent. For some reason, this exchange of glances suddenly brought a change in Yu Ze's own state of mind, calming the anxious and uneasy heart.

All of a sudden,

Yu Ze recalled the scene of practicing sword with his master in the mountain when he was just ten years old.

Day and night swinging the sword, he was equally anxious at that time.

But after practicing for two years, believing himself to be masterful and swung his sword at his master, he was struck back with a palm. At that moment, Yu Ze also unexpectedly calmed down, just like now.

Yu Ze slowly closed his eyes, no longer divining the heavens and the earth, no longer contemplating danger or safety, no longer considering what moves to use.

He just calmly, carrying his sword in one hand, walked towards Hunter on the grass.

As they brushed past each other,

casually swinging the sword,

as he once did day and night, no more than an ordinary swing.

Bang!

All the red cords entwined around the sword body snapped, and copper coins scattered.

Yu Ze's heart was already grasped in Hunter's hand, lightly bitten by the mouth in his palm, not destroyed.

Yu Ze, having walked a few steps, knelt on the ground and fell.

However,

on Hunter's side, a smile appeared, a deep cut on the side of his neck appeared, even the teeth pre-embedded inside were cut through.

Almost about to have his head chopped off, if it were before his advancement, he might truly have been defeated.

Buzz!

A vortex emerged, and Teacher Guo arrived at the scene. He should have intervened when Yu Ze was seriously injured, but he purposely waited until now.

Thump thump!

Hunter sent the still-beating heart over,

Teacher Guo directly transmitted the heart through the vortex, reinstalling it into Yu Ze's body, and by reversing time, restored all the blood vessels to their original positions.

With this, Yu Ze only needed some time to recover before waking up.

"Your talent is high, and your stance has been made clear.

But because you once collaborated with the Outer Realm and also acted against students in my organization, you need to agree to one more condition."

"I will agree to the best of my ability."

"You have reached the level of a [Teacher], but I will not grant you the qualification of a teacher. You can only enjoy the lowest level of staff privileges.

And you need to take charge of our school's canteen work.

In my view, no one is more suitable for this position than you, and no one understands food preparation and nutritional allocation better than you.

Pumpkin Fran, who passed the test earlier, will assist you in completing the initial setup of the canteen."

"Agreed."

Teacher Guo proactively extended his hand, symbolizing Vortex Town's welcome to him.

Hunter also grasped up, symbolizing his acceptance of the "Chef" identity, to some extent because he originally enjoyed cooking.

However, as the palms met, Hunter suddenly widened his eyes, looking at the person in charge of this organization before him.

"Your plants are still in their maturation phase, haven't they advanced yet?"

"Yes, I just came to Corner a little over a year ago."

Hunter didn't inquire further, simply nodding, "Thank you."

"As long as your stance is appropriate, personally, I'm willing to keep you. However, the conflict between you and Gust, Luo Di, is something you need to handle privately.

Moreover, I might discuss with you later about the issues concerning the Outer Realm.

If I guessed correctly, you recently turned down the comic store... this kind of quality is rare, which is the main reason I decided to give you a chance."

"Alright."

The brief exchange concluded, Teacher Guo personally led Hunter onto the stage.

This evaluation didn't require a score and directly announced Hunter as a member of Vortex Town, mainly responsible for the school canteen-related work.

"With that, today's new student assessment is officially concluded, and those 'pending' students will receive a week-long campus experience opportunity.

A week later, our teachers will decide your stay or departure.

As for students who did not qualify, there is one last thing..."

Teacher Guo's facial features suddenly began to rotate; he was staring at the deplorable writer from Rain City, who had almost been instantly defeated by Lebeite.

[Rust Rain]

The person remained clad in a raincoat, wearing a white mask and holding an umbrella, the rainwater falling over his head further concealing his true form.

Teacher Guo lifted his right arm, aiming his palm at this person.

Immediately after,

the palm started to rotate, one circle, two circles, three circles... hum!

The individual's mask, umbrella, and even attire were all stripped away.

Revealed was a creature whose entire pores continuously exuded rainwater, ugly and despicable in appearance, truly fitting of his infamous deeds.

However, some observant students present noticed an oddity—his navel showcased a [pore-like] appearance.

Suddenly,

Rust Rain's expression distorted fiercely; the pores on his belly began to rapidly draw in air, causing his body to swell quickly and explode in less than a second.

Bang!

The explosion was small in magnitude,

without flesh,

without bones,

what burst out was all gas, akin to a misty vapor.

A voice remained within,

in essence, the true role of Rust Rain was as this voice's medium, having come here just to convey a message.

Many present recognized this voice, corresponding exactly to "Uncle Joke."

"Lalala ♪

Finally exploded, I guess the explosion was scheduled after your events ended because you want me to check the current standard your school has reached.

It's a pity, I'm merely a messenger and am not interested in your organization's activities here. Perhaps I indeed missed some spectacular moments, which is a bit of a shame.

Let's cut to the chase.

The original happenings at Corner were natural and regular things. Something dead naturally needs to be replaced by something new.

Even though you know Corner has perished, you still choose to stay put, stagnating, which is a blatant violation of the universe's basic development rules.

Of course, it's up to you how to act as you're all beings with independent thought.

However, you must be aware of one thing.

The once insignificant Corner never caught any "attention". My benefactor, who is also the comic giver to many of you, merely passed by by chance.

But now, what some of you are doing has drawn attention from the other side of the Abyss.

This "attention" will change the existing calm, and everything will gradually become different.

I hope you can savor the moment.

When you die in the future, don't regret it."

The mist dispersed, and the voice vanished.

Although Teacher Guo immediately sealed the playground space to preserve this gas and tried to trace its origin, there was no use; the gas was purely a voice carrier, entirely formed by Rust Rain himself.

As for how Rust Rain was "influenced," with his physical form gone, it's now unverifiable.

However.

The sound of a wheelchair moving echoed over.

Maximus voluntarily approached where the mist had dissipated and took a gentle breath.

Corresponding to a distant place, even one no longer part of Corner.

Uncle Joke, who was taking a bath, accidentally dropped the soap in his hand. As he reached to pick it up, his body suddenly slipped, and he fell with a face full of blood.

Moreover, due to his large physique, he hit the washstand when he fell.

A pair of scissors, previously used for trimming hair, was placed right on the edge. During the collision, it fell and pierced his eyeball, blood gushing out.
