For these "corpses" that were tainted by corruption, Matthew's disposal method was exceptionally eco-friendly.
Using roaring flames, he incinerated them to ash.
After being "purified," the ashes were thrown into the Elemental Furnace to commence the final "ignition."
Until the 78th test subject met his death.
The Malicious Luohan weakened by a full third, and its Challenge Level dropped to 22+.
Only then did it cease its endless "investments and sowing" without a hint of reward.
Sensing the Malicious Luohan's submission, the Old Swordsman's face was brimming with smiles.
Watching Matthew signal for a pause, he couldn't help but softly praise:
"Young people sure have nimble minds; the methods are truly... unconventional."
Shrugging nonchalantly, Matthew gestured for the Old Swordsman to follow and led him to the dining room where food was prepared.
As he surveyed the array of delicious food, the unreserved Old Swordsman sat down without hesitation and began eating heartily.
