A Trace of the Power of Law

Friday morning.

Liu Yan and the three girls were eating.

The atmosphere today was a little strange. Liu Yan, Murong Xue and Luo Qingcheng were all eating breakfast and were silent the whole time.

Seeing this, Chu Long had a puzzled look on her face.

In the past few days since they entered the upper house of Lighthouse Academy, the few of them had been relatively busy. Busy with their own studies and training, they had less time to gather together.

However, the atmosphere had never been this silent before. The three of them had not say a word in the early morning.

“What’s wrong with the three of you? Why aren’t you talking?”Chu Long asked with some doubts.

Murong Xue’s face was a little embarrassed as she said, “It’s fine, it’s fine.”

“It’s fine, you eat your food.”Luo Qingcheng also said.

Murong Xue and Luo Qingcheng had a good relationship these few days.

Therefore, Murong Xue went to chat with Luo Qingcheng last night. The chat lasted quite late hence she decided to sleep in Luo Qingcheng’s room.

However, Liu Yan came over unexpectedly in the middle of the night. He even got the wrong person and such an embarrassing thing happened…

Luo Qingcheng’s expression was also a little awkward at this moment. Obviously, she did not tell Chu Long and Murong Xue about her and Liu Yan. As a result, everything was exposed last night.

At this time, Murong Xue had already finished her breakfast and was ready to leave. When she passed by Liu Yan, her face was a little strange as she said, “Your progress is going quite fast!”

After saying this, Murong Xue rushed out of the door.

Seeing the situation, Chu Long still had a puzzled look on her face as she said, “What does sister Murong Xue mean by this? What progresses fast?”

“Ahem, it has nothing to do with you. Eat your food.” Liu Yan said awkwardly.

What happened last night also made Liu Yan feel a little awkward. However, when he thought of what happened last night, Liu Yan could not help but feel a little surprised.

He had touched Murong Xue before and knew that Murong Xue’s figure was very exaggerated.

However, after seeing it with his own eyes last night, he was still a little shocked.

After breakfast, Liu Yan stopped thinking about these things and left immediately.

Today was Friday, so Liu Yan also needed to go to the principal.

He drove and stopped at the office building. Liu Yan entered the building, located the principal’s office and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”Zhong Yuntian’s voice came.

Liu Yan pushed the door open and entered.

The calm-looking principal Zhong Yuntian raised his head and looked up. When he saw that it was Liu Yan, his face was immediately filled with joy.

“You’re here, Liu Yan. Come here, come here, come here. Come here and sit down.”Zhong Yuntian said with a smile.

When Liu Yan saw this, he was somewhat baffled.

The other vice principals were also this enthusiastic and valued Liu Yan. However, principal Zhong Yuntian also seemed to be genuinely fond.

Liu Yan went forward and sat down in front of the principal.

“How’s your life in the academy these few days? Those vice-principals didn’t make things difficult for you, did they?” Zhong Yuntian said enthusiastically.

“No, the vice principals treat me very well. I’ve been quite used to it these few days.”Liu Yan smiled and said.

“That’s good.”

Principal Zhong Yuntian nodded slightly and said, “If those vice-principals dare to make things difficult for you, tell me. See if I’ll fix them.”

Zhong Yuntian looked like an old grandfather who doted on the younger generation. His face was full of kindness, and he did not have the authoritativeness of a superior at all.

Liu Yan could not help but feel less pressured. He got adjusted to chatting with principal Zhong Yuntian.

After a brief chat, Zhong Yuntian said with a proud look, “Let me tell you, I am a retired veteran. In this life, I have really made many outstanding military achievements. Let me tell you, I have climbed up to the tenth floor of the tower at the highest!”

Liu Yan was a little surprised when he heard this. Every level of the tower was exponentially more dangerous.

Moreover, Liu Yan had only experienced the first three levels of the tower, which was considered a relatively beginner friendly stage.

The fourth level of the tower was where the true danger unfolds.

It was said that once one reached the sixth level of the tower, one would be a hero to mankind.

When one reached the eighth level, one would be an expert.

And to reach the tenth floor of the tower, one would be a top-notch expert of the human race. It was the limit attainable by the human race.

The principal had reached the tenth floor of the tower before?

Liu Yan looked at Zhong Yuntian, who was smiling unseriously, and couldn’t help but feel suspicious.

At this moment, Zhong Yuntian said with a slightly regretful expression, “What a pity. It was during the crucial battle on the tenth floor of the tower. In order to protect my comrades, I was heavily injured. From then on, I fell from the top of the pyramid. Because my injuries were too severe, I developed several underlying illnesses. I couldn’t go to the front line anymore. I could only take up this management position. I could only be a principal.”

Hearing this, Liu Yan’s expression was a little strange. Looking at principal Zhong Yuntian’s unserious expression, he started to doubt the authenticity of his words.

Principal Zhong Yuntian did not notice Liu Yan’s strange expression. He did not know that Liu Yan was doubting the authenticity of his words. Instead, he continued on, “When I see you, it’s like seeing myself back then. I’m also a prodigy of a generation, a top-notch genius!”

Liu Yan secretly ridiculed this principal’s shamelessness. It was a big lie. After all, Liu Yan had already broken the decade long record. Even if the principal was really a genius back then, he was definitely not as monstrous as Liu Yan was now.

At this time, principal Zhong Yuntian came back to his senses from his memories. When he saw Liu Yan’s expression, he immediately guessed that Liu Yan was doubting him.

“Don’t doubt me. Everything I said is true,” Zhong Yuntian argued.

Liu Yan smiled awkwardly and did not say anything. However, his expression could not be any more obvious. He simply did not believe Zhong Yuntian’s words.

Zhong Yuntian opened the door behind the chair. He took out a seemingly ordinary jade tile and placed it on the table. With a mysterious smile, he said, “Your strength now should be enough. Come and feel it.”

Hearing this, Liu Yan lowered his head and looked at the jade tile.

At first, Liu Yan didn’t think much of it. However, after he carefully felt it, Liu Yan immediately felt the terrifying power within the jade tile.

Liu Yan had never seen such a terrifying power before, whether it was from the golden armoured blue ape or the ancient dragon crocodile he met on the third floor of the tower.

Even after including the few powerful vice principals he met in the upper house of Lighthouse Academy, their auras were completely incomparable in front of this jade tile.

A small piece of jade tile actually concealed such terrifying power?

The scene before his eyes immediately somewhat exceeded Liu Yan’s comprehension.

Principal Zhong Yuntian saw the shocked expression on Liu Yan’s face and immediately had a smile on his face, he said, “Looks like your strength is indeed good. You can already feel the power within this jade tile. Let me tell you, just a trace of the power of the laws within is already so terrifying. Back when I was at my peak, my entire body was filled with this power of the laws.”

“Brat, I admit that your talent is simply a once-in-a-century genius, much better than me back then. However, you must understand that there are always people better than you. You must not be arrogant and complacent. Do you understand?” Zhong Yuntian reprimanded him with a slightly serious expression.
