Precise Calculations

Almost the moment the second prince spoke, the nine jade slips crumbled to pieces at the same time. At the instant they turned into powder… an ancient presence spread out from the Rune.

Once it appeared, a headless figure manifested from the jade powder in the third layer!

"Break that pillar of light!" the second prince cried out without hesitation.

He was already very far behind. If he still had to spend time wondering whether he should break the pillar of light, then even if he rose to the air right then, he would never be able to catch up to Su Ming and the first prince.

However, once he broke the pillar, he would end up benefiting the first prince. Yet even so, to the second prince, this was the only way, and the destruction of the pillar would definitely start from the bottom before reaching the top. With that being the case, he might still be able to buy himself some time in his disadvantageous situation.
