Whether with curiosity, scrutiny, or their usual disdain, they all silently awaited the arrival of the final two minutes.

「Enlightenment Tower, 5th Layer.」
Having sat cross-legged in meditation for nearly a year, Li Wen opened his eyes right on schedule.
In the depths of his eyes, the silver gleam of the Time Law flickered, as if a Star River was born and extinguished within them.
'Five years of arduous cultivation in this tower… While my Time Law is still a ways from the Tier One Middle Stage, my understanding of the Law's essence,'
'and my control and application of power are far beyond what they were when I first entered the Enlightenment Tower. My combat strength has increased immensely.'
He murmured, sensing the surging power within his body.
His gaze swept over the fragments of Law suspended in the void. The corners of Li Wen's mouth lifted in a display of absolute confidence.
'It's time. 6th Layer, here I come.'
