Chapter 1609 - 1440: Cleared Out

As Jun Susu spoke.

turned into 2998.

"Hmph, even though that person is detestable, they do indeed have strength."

Jun Susu snorted reluctantly, feeling somewhat displeased. She rather hoped to see He Jinsou making a fool of himself.

Ye Tian, on the other hand, was very quiet.

He quietly watched,

without making a sound.

But Ye Tian’s silence made Jun Susu think that he was frightened by He Jinsou’s rapid Devouring Law, so she couldn’t help but comfort Ye Tian, "Brother Ye, you don’t need to feel pressured. How old is He Jinsou? When he was your age, he wasn’t even worthy to carry your shoes. You don’t need to compare yourself with him. Later, when you go in, if you can absorb even one law, in a way, you’ve already won."

Ye Tian’s mouth twitched slightly.

He indeed felt no pressure and indeed wouldn’t compare himself to He Jinsou... truly...

Next.

Time passed.

After a full three hours, 2933 remained fixed, with the number no longer changing.

This meant He Jinsou had devoured 67 laws, albeit the weakest from the lowest Seventh Layer.

Nevertheless, it was quite shocking.

The silence among the gathered students in front of the Principle Tower said it all.

Even Elder Lin praised, "Not bad."

Few could earn such praise from Elder Lin.

"67 laws, hmph, this time, when He Jinsou comes out, he’ll surely be more smug."

Jun Susu snorted in displeasure, truly displeased.

"Is 67 laws impressive?"

Ye Tian asked subconsciously.

"In the recent ten thousand years at Chaos Academy, a score of 67 laws would rank roughly in the top three, right? Of course, no comparison to Mengli Qingtan. Back then, Mengli Qingtan absorbed 373 laws, including 40 from the second Seventh Layer and 12 from the third Seventh Layer. Mengli Qingtan’s record in the Principle Tower remains among the top ten throughout the academy’s ten billion-year history, exceptionally astounding."

Jun Susu couldn’t help but say, and when mentioning Mengli Qingtan, it was apparent she held deep apprehension and admiration.

The four words Mengli Qingtan carried significant weight within Chaos Academy, especially among the students.

Just at this moment.

The array gate of the Principle Tower opened.

He Jinsou walked out.

He Jinsou’s complexion looked somewhat pale, an ashen frailty, yet his eyes showed joy and pride.

Evidently, he had expended much within the Principle Tower, as devouring laws was no easy feat.

But at the same time, he felt very satisfied with having absorbed 67 laws.

Especially now, stepping out to see the reverent gazes from other Chaos Academy students, made him feel fulfilled.

"You’re indeed good, but don’t waste your talent. Cultivate well."

Even Elder Lin spoke again, showing clear satisfaction with He Jinsou.

"Thank you for the encouragement, Elder Lin. I will certainly not disappoint your expectations."

He Jinsou replied solemnly, feeling honored. Was Elder Lin really so optimistic about him?!

Meanwhile,

"Hahaha, Jinsou, well done."

Suddenly, a robust voice resonated, and Liu Muchan appeared—Vice Dean Liu Muchan had arrived.

It turned out He Jinsou was one of Liu Muchan’s disciples.

Specifically, Liu Muchan’s second disciple.

"I will not disappoint Master’s high hopes."

He Jinsou bowed slightly, saying.

"Good!"

Liu Muchan was very pleased and praised again.

He Jinsou looked towards Ye Tian, asking, "Junior Brother Ye, are you going to enter the Principle Tower too? Good luck."

Though it sounded like a blessing, He Jinsou’s expression was playfully mocking.

Ye Tian directly ignored it.

"Do you need his blessing? Just take care of yourself. Is 67 really so impressive?"

Ye Tian didn’t respond, but Jun Susu wasn’t one to be easily provoked and directly retorted.

"67 isn’t really that impressive, maybe someone could just enter the academy and break this number of 67?" He Jinsou replied indifferently.

"You..."

Jun Susu was even more displeased, just about to counter, when Ye Tian patted her lightly on the head, "Alright, it’s my turn to enter the Principle Tower now."

As he spoke, under everyone’s watchful eyes, he walked towards the Principle Tower.

"Are you sure?"

Elder Lin sighed, truly feeling helpless.

"I’m sure." Ye Tian nodded.

Elder Lin had nothing more to say and allowed him through.

The array gate opened.

Ye Tian stepped inside instantly.

Of course, before Ye Tian entered, the 67 laws previously absorbed by He Jinsou had already been replenished, restoring the Principle Tower to 6800 laws.

"Are you curious about his score?" Liu Muchan intended to leave but noticed his disciple He Jinsou not moving away, prompting a smile.

In terms of Martial Arts Talent, He Jinsou couldn’t compare to Ye Tian.

But so what?

He Jinsou wasn’t as reckless as Ye Tian!

No matter how good your talent is, if you act recklessly and fail to grow, even the gods can’t save you.

Liu Muchan truly didn’t even bother to watch Ye Tian’s Principle Tower test. He didn’t need to; he knew it would certainly end in chaos.

"Let’s wait and see. What if he scores better than me?" He Jinsou chuckled lightly.

It was a teasing jest.

Seeing his disciple not leaving, Liu Muchan also decided to stay and watch.

After all, he estimated that it wouldn’t take long before Ye Tian came out ashamed, not wasting much time.

However...

Just then!!!!

Suddenly...

On the display of the Principle Tower, the number in the lowest Seventh Layer suddenly started jumping!

And it wasn’t an ordinary jump.

3000——1854——1347——716——320——0.

The numbers were changing at such a rapid pace.

So fast that the students present, even Vice Dean Liu Muchan, could only barely catch a few numbers.

In just the span of a single breath, 3000 turned into 0.

Cleared!

This...

The silence.

A silence akin to the descent of Netherworld Hell.

The atmosphere seemed solidified, with not a single breath audible.

Until...

Thud! Thud!! Thud!!!

Some students, frightened, fainted and fell heavily to the ground.

Even the sleepy, kindly-looking, unassuming Elder Lin suddenly stood up, his aged eyes wide open, staring fixedly at the display of the Principle Tower, shaking his head, "Impossible! The display is broken????!"

"It’s not... not broken, indeed, he absorbed all 3000 laws from the entire lowest Seventh Layer, not leaving a single one."

Around the Principle Tower, one by one, ancient figures appeared.

These old figures were all quite powerful, almost all being Upper Great Emperors of the Fifth Transition and above, though they had no further room for progress, having reached the end of martial arts.

They were members of the Principle Team, who were usually quite secretive and rarely made appearances, but this time, they all surfaced.

Each of them was trembling, their faces twitching with stiffness, and the Principle Team’s leader looked at Elder Lin, his voice quivering.

Elder Lin remained silent.

"Impossible! How could this be??!"

He Jinsou was on the brink of collapse, in disbelief, shaking his head violently. His already pale complexion lost the slightest hint of blood, resembling a corpse’s face.

Inside the Principle Tower, Ye Tian felt rather uninterested.

The first Seventh Layer, 3000 laws, as soon as he entered, even those laws that already existed in his Principle River were voluntarily contributed to it once more...

Not a single one left behind.

It felt like plucking flowers and even taking away the pot.

Yet Ye Tian’s gains weren’t huge.

Among these 3000 laws, his Principle River already had 2791 of them.

In other words, he only gained 209 new laws.

One could say it was decent.

His Principle River’s power increased by about a tenth.

Better than nothing.

"I hope the following four Seventh Layers don’t disappoint me."

Ye Tian took a deep breath and headed towards the second Seventh Layer.

Outside.

"He’s entered the second Seventh Layer," the Principle Team’s leader exclaimed. "Is he trying to..."

Before he could finish.

Oh my god!!!!!!!

The number in the second Seventh Layer on the Principle Tower’s display began jumping.

2000——1399——836——271——0.

Even more exaggerated.

Not even half a breath.

Cleared.

This...
