Chapter 455: Reaching the Top Floor

Ye Li smiled and looked at Feng Ling, saying, “Do you truly believe what your eyes see?”
Feng Ling was once again taken aback, clearly not understanding what Ye Li meant.
“What do you mean?” Feng Ling inquired.
Ye Li smiled and replied calmly, “1 don’t mean anything in particular. I just want to tell you that you should never trust your own eyes because there may come a time when your eyes deceive you.”
Feng Ling suddenly felt that she had been too foolish. As a seventh-tier Evolved Being and a new student mentor at Cloud Peak Academy, she shouldn’t have engaged in such pointless conversation with a person like Ye Li.
In her view, Ye Li was utterly unreasonable.
“Someone like you, a seventh-tier Evolved Being, naturally wouldn’t understand what I’m saying.”
Ye Li continued to watch the students outside the Martial Tower, who were still fighting.
Upon hearing Ye Li’s words, Feng Ling’s pupils rapidly contracted. She couldn’t believe that Ye Li could see her true level.
How… how could he see it?
Feng Ling was left bewildered, and she genuinely couldn’t comprehend how Ye Li had figured it out.
Ye Li didn’t pay any more attention to Feng Ling and walked towards the Martial Tower.
Seeing Ye Li approaching the tower, Feng Ling actually felt a sense of anticipation. She hoped that Ye Li wouldn’t even be able to enter the tower, and she wanted to see how he would react in that case.
However, what happened next was something she couldn’t even bring herself to believe.
As Ye Li approached the entrance of the Martial Tower, he activated the fifth level of the Ancient Devil Tome.
Instantly, all the students who were still fighting outside the tower fell to the ground.
Then, he entered the Martial Tower.
Seeing this, Feng Ling was left standing like a statue.
Why… Why?
Why… why had the students outside the Martial Tower suddenly collapsed?
Ye Li hadn’t fully activated the fifth level of the Ancient Devil Tome, or else a terrifying demonic aura would have shrouded the entire sky.
Feng Ling gulped, remembering that in that moment, her heart had suddenly grown heavy, as if she had descended into a hellish abyss.
She couldn’t understand why she had felt that way.
Could it be…
Feng Ling suddenly thought of a startling possibility: the feeling she had experienced was due to Ye Li!
Ye Li entered the first level of the Martial Tower, and it was clear that the spiritual energy inside was slightly denser than outside.
On the second level, the spiritual energy was even richer.
Ye Li continued to ascend, feeling no pressure whatsoever from the Martial Tower. It was as easy as climbing a staircase.
During his ascent, he encountered students who had failed to progress on various levels.
These students looked at him in astonishment, sweating profusely. However, Ye Li remained calm, showing no signs of exertion.
Upon reaching the eighth level, he spotted Xia Xi, who was struggling to progress to the ninth level.
“Senior… I can’t go any further,” Xia Xi said, her voice strained.
“Stay here then,” Ye Li said calmly.
After that, he continued his ascent.
Surprisingly, some of the students at Cloud Peak Academy this time were indeed talented. Ye Li encountered new students on the upper levels.
Nonetheless, the number of students who had entered the Martial Tower was still relatively small, as most of them were engaged in external battles. However, they were now lying on the ground, unable to recover due to the pressure of the fifth level of the Ancient Devil Tome.
Before Ye Li felt any pressure, he had reached the 30th floor.
And the 30th floor was already the highest floor..
