“Greetings, Dean, Vice-President!” Aubree slightly bowed to the two.
Harleen and Ivy also bowed simultaneously, then turned to greet Catherine Foreman.
“Harleen, Ivy, have you both advanced to the late stage of the Second-Rank Otherworldly Realm?”
Catherine Foreman released her spiritual power to probe their cultivation levels, exclaiming in surprise.
She couldn’t help but be astonished!
Just over a month ago, both were only at the Eighth-Rank Holy Realm. In such a short time, they had advanced four levels?
That’s incredible!
“Thanks to the elders!” Harleen responded with a light smile and nod.
As Catherine Foreman mentioned, after their second physique refinement, Harleen and Ivy had advanced to the Second-Rank Otherworldly Realm, just a step away from the Third-Rank.
In fact, the four elders had deliberately suppressed their progress, fearing that advancing too quickly might not be beneficial.
Otherwise, they could have easily reached the Third-Rank.
“That’s impressive!” Catherine Foreman couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Haha, indeed very impressive!” Spencer Bailey laughed heartily. “Don’t just stand there, sit and chat!”
“Thank you, Dean!” The three bowed again before sitting down on nearby chairs.
“Catherine, you don’t need to keep busy. Join us,” Spencer Bailey said to Catherine Foreman.
“It’s alright; I’ll make some tea for everyone!” Catherine Foreman replied with a smile.
Spencer Bailey didn’t insist further and then turned to the three with a smile. “Aubree has also made progress in her cultivation recently. If I’m not mistaken, she’s just a step away from breaking through, right?”
“My talent is mediocre; this step might be an insurmountable gap,” Aubree responded with a smile.
Her words clearly indicated that she had indeed reached the Half-Step Entering Dao Realm!
“Aubree, you’re too modest. If your talent is considered mediocre, no one else would dare claim they have talent,” Tyler Bailey replied with a smile.
“Vice-President, you’re too kind!” Aubree responded again.
“Aubree, what are your plans next?” Spencer Bailey asked after taking a sip of tea.
“Dean!” Before Aubree could respond, Harleen spoke up. “We plan to return to Sky City first!”
This was something they had discussed long ago. Once they broke through to the Otherworldly Realm, they would immediately return to Sky City.
They were unaware of Sky City’s current situation and were worried about Billy and the others’ safety.
“Miss Knight is concerned about Mr Billy and the others’ safety?” Spencer Bailey smiled lightly as he put down his tea cup.
“There’s no need to worry. I’ve already inquired for you; Sky City’s crisis has been resolved.”
“Resolved?” Ivy asked in surprise. “How was it resolved?”
“I’m not entirely sure about the specifics,” Spencer Bailey shook his head.
“But one thing is certain: Holy Heaven Sect suffered a complete defeat in their battle against Sky City.”
“Almost half of Holy Heaven Sect’s high-end combat power was lost in Sky City!”
“Really?” Harleen and Ivy exclaimed simultaneously.
“Dean, what about Sky City’s casualties?” Aubree also showed a surprised expression.
“I’m not particularly clear on the specifics,” Spencer Bailey shook his head again and added.
“But you don’t need to worry too much. From what I know, Ethereal Sect’s Sect Master and several core elders should be fine.”
“What about Mr Billy?” Aubree continued to ask.
“They’re fine too!” Spencer Bailey smiled.
“Dean, Holy Heaven Sect won’t give up so easily after one failure, right?” Harleen pondered for a moment before continuing. “They might soon launch a second attack. I’m worried…”
“Holy Heaven Sect won’t be heading to Sky City again anytime soon,” Tyler Bailey interjected.
“Why?” Harleen and Ivy asked simultaneously.
“Holy Heaven Sect went to Sky City mainly for Mr Billy, but he’s no longer there. So naturally, they won’t go again,” Tyler Bailey explained.
“Billy isn’t in Sky City? Where did he go?” Harleen asked further.
“Miss Knight, Miss Chandler, have you heard of the Akabuchi Prodigy List?” Tyler Bailey didn’t directly answer their question.
“Akabuchi Prodigy List?” Both were taken aback; clearly, they hadn’t heard of it.
“The Akabuchi Prodigy List is the most prestigious list in the entire Akabuchi star domain,” Catherine Foreman explained as she poured tea for everyone.
“The Prodigy List includes only fifteen people under forty years old and is ranked every three years.”
“Anyone who makes it onto the list is an extraordinary talent in both cultivation and potential.” She paused briefly before continuing.
“The reason the Prodigy List garners so much attention from young people in the Akabuchi star domain is significant.”
“Those who make it onto the Prodigy List become key cultivation targets of the Akabuchi Star Palace. As long as they don’t die prematurely, they will inevitably become ministers of the Star Palace.”
“Both individuals and their families will gain high status and prestige!”
“At least within the Akabuchi star domain, no one would dare to bully them!”
“Vice-President, why are you telling us about the Prodigy List?” Ivy asked Tyler Bailey after listening to Catherine Foreman’s explanation.
“In three months, the Prodigy List will be re-ranked!” Tyler Bailey continued after taking a sip of tea.
“If you two are interested, our institute will provide three months of closed-door training for you.”
“With your qualifications, you have a good chance of securing a spot on the Prodigy List.”
He clearly wanted to keep Harleen and Ivy at the Institute by mentioning the Prodigy List at this time.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Vice-President!” Harleen responded after some thought. “But we still want to see our family as soon as possible.”
She and Ivy came to Canyon View Institute to break through to the Otherworldly Realm quickly and reunite with everyone back home.
Now that they had broken through, they naturally wouldn’t consider anything else.
“Vice-President, you mentioned that Billy and the others are no longer in Sky City. Do you know where they are now?” Ivy asked simultaneously.
“Aren’t you two considering the Prodigy List?” Tyler Bailey asked again.
“Thank you for your kind offer, Vice-President. We really just want to see Billy and the others soon,” Ivy replied.
“You don’t have to answer us right away. Go back and think about it,” Spencer Bailey said after some thought.
“Moreover, Mr Billy and the others are already in Canyon View City and are currently in the outer courtyard of Canyon View Institute!”
“What?” Harleen and Ivy exclaimed simultaneously upon hearing this.
