Chapter 1608 - 1440: Cleared Out

In the academy, Elder Lin holds a significant position.

When Elder Lin speaks, it’s almost conclusive.

If Elder Lin asks you to go back, saying it’s not suitable for now, then it simply isn’t suitable.

You still don’t appreciate it.

Stubborn, are you????

Hehe...

"Suit yourself, young man, you have no idea of the terror within the Principle Tower."

Elder Lin glanced at Ye Tian again, spoke softly, and then closed his eyes once more, choosing not to interfere. He had given all the advice needed, and the rest was for oneself to bear. If Ye Tian insisted on entering, he couldn’t stop him.

At that moment.

Suddenly.

Among the surrounding students, someone exclaimed with surprise, respect, and awe: "Senior Brother He is here!!!! Senior Brother He is here!"

Soon.

The crowd made way to create a path.

A youth came into sight, dressed in golden robes, his expression cold, head slightly raised, phoenix-like eyes, high nose bridge, skin impossibly pale, tall stature, with an air somewhat dark and restrained.

The youth carried a sword on his back, sheathed.

This youth was naturally He Jinsou.

He walked step by step.

He glanced at Ye Tian once but said nothing. Before Ye Tian had recklessly challenged and offended Mengli Qingtan, He Jinsou might have approached Ye Tian because of his incredible martial arts talent, before he fully rose to power. But now, he had no interest at all.

To refrain from stepping on him twice was already considered decent.

The closer students were to the forefront of the True List, the more they understood what the name Mengli Qingtan represented. Deep down, He Jinsou’s evaluation of Ye Tian could be summed up in two words—ignorant.

"Upper Great Emperor Seventh Transition."

As He Jinsou approached, Ye Tian identified He Jinsou’s realm at a glance, though this was merely the realm. The true combat power far exceeded those Upper Great Emperor Seventh Transition individuals outside Chaos Academy who relied on billions of years of accumulation.

To speak of it, He Jinsou was only 930,000 years old, considered extraordinarily young among Upper Great Emperors.

Of course, from Ye Tian’s current perspective, someone like He Jinsou could probably be struck down with a single finger several hundred times over.

Too weak.

Pitifully weak.

"What’s there to be proud of? Brother Ye, it won’t be long before you surpass him."

Jun Susu whispered to Ye Tian, since He Jinsou hadn’t said anything or provoked Ye Tian, but that indifferent glance scanning Ye Tian a moment ago still irked Jun Susu.

She considered Ye Tian as her own, after all, she felt Ye Tian was nearly like a half junior brother to her.

She was quite protective; while she accepted that Mengli Qingtan disdained Ye Tian and couldn’t refute it, what significance did He Jinsou hold?

Ye Tian chuckled; Jun Susu, this girl, was indeed very endearing.

"Senior, I wish to enter the Principle Tower."

The next moment, He Jinsou stepped over to the Principle Tower, paused before it, and bowed slightly to Elder Lin, speaking with a collected demeanor.

"Let him go in first, let’s see how many laws he can brag about absorbing."

Jun Susu murmured softly.

Ye Tian, however, didn’t mind.

Because whoever enters the Principle Tower, absorbing 10 laws means 6800 laws become 6790, and then the Principle Team will replenish the Principle Tower, keeping it at 6800 laws.

Anyway, whether entering first or later, there are always 6800 laws, so Ye Tian was indifferent. As Jun Susu said, watching He Jinsou’s performance first wouldn’t hurt.

"Stay in the lower Seventh Transition as much as possible."

Elder Lin glanced at He Jinsou, offering a word of caution; it was advice Elder Lin gave to every student intending to enter the Principle Tower.

The Principle Tower, with a total of 35 floors, is divided into 5 seven-layer categories.

As you move lower, the laws are relatively weaker but more docile.

As you move upward, the laws become stronger, yet more volatile, especially in the topmost two seven-layers where the most elite laws of Chang Civilization and even extraterrestrial laws reside. Those laws are dangerously potent, easily wounding individuals.

Like Slaughter Law and Dark Law, they can even lead some students with unsteady psyches straight into madness.

"Thank you, Elder Lin, for the reminder."

He Jinsou expressed gratitude; even without Elder Lin’s advice, he would have done so.

He wasn’t arrogant.

Nor conceited.

If one is overly conceited, ignorant like Ye Tian, they would be laughed at and meet a swifter end.

His goal was the bottom seven-layer, ensuring his safety while absorbing as many laws as possible.

Moments later, the door to the Principle Tower opened, revealing an elliptical light portal at the Array Formation Gate.

He Jinsou stepped inside.

Then, notably, a red light point appeared on the law screen next to the Principle Tower, where a diagram of tower floors representing five regions emerged.

The red point was active in the lowest region on the tower floor diagram.

The tower floor diagram had numbers marked on each region.

3000, 2000, 1000, 500, 300.

Sure enough, the five regions corresponded to the five seven-layers, with numbers indicating each region’s law count.

Soon.

The number 3000 in the lowest seven-layer region started to fluctuate.

2999.

"Whew..."

Immediately, the majority of students watching outside the Principle Tower gasped in surprise.

"Already devoured one law? That’s rather fast."

Jun Susu whispered, "Brother Ye, generally speaking, those who can successfully devour a law within an hour upon entering the Principle Tower are considered quite good. It’s been just a minute or two; He Jinsou indeed has some skill."
