“Currently, I’m only at the second-rank Entering Dao Realm,” Billy responded with a faint smile. “I’ll need to go into seclusion again soon.”
Hearing this, everyone gasped in astonishment. In just a few days, he had broken through to the second-rank Entering Dao Realm? And from his tone, this was just the first stage, implying that there was still room for improvement after his next seclusion? This was unbelievable!
Aubree was especially amazed. Second-rank Entering Dao Realm, if he activated his bloodline power, he could reach fourth-rank Entering Dao Realm, a level higher than hers. Truly a once-in-a-millennium genius! His growth rate was astounding.
“Boss, you’re incredible!” Soul Chaser exclaimed.
“Boss, how much power can you now unleash with ‘Cracked Sky’?” Vermilion Bird asked.
“I should be able to use fifty to sixty percent of its power,” Billy replied.
“Does that mean you can now kill a mid-stage Perceiving Dao Realm expert with one strike?” Black Tortoise pursued.
“Not that exaggerated, but dealing with a third-rank Perceiving Dao Realm expert shouldn’t be a problem,” Billy said with a faint smile.
“So strong!” Black Tortoise and the others exclaimed in unison.
“The strongest person in the Akabuchi star domain is probably at the mid to late stages of the Perceiving Dao Realm. If Boss improves by one or two more levels, he’ll be unrivaled!” White Tiger remarked.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Billy Boy, did you suspect that those people from the Holy Ghost Tribe were called by that young master from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce?” Amber asked.
“Obviously!” Azure Dragon replied before Billy could. “Otherwise, why didn’t that young master challenge him? And why was their vice president, Flynn Wooler, so eager to kill?”
“Indeed!” Ian Blade nodded and looked at Billy. “Boss, that young master from the Akabuchi Chamber of Commerce is a threat. Who knows what trouble he might cause? Should we deal with him?”
“Let’s wait,” Billy responded thoughtfully. “The Holy Ghost Tribe will likely make a move soon. Let’s handle them first.”
“Boss, why don’t we go straight to the Holy Ghost Tribe’s headquarters and end it once and for all?” Ian Blade asked.
“Ian, don’t be impulsive!” Opal interjected. “Although we’ve killed many of their experts, they can rival the Akabuchi Star Palace. It won’t be that simple. We should gather more information first.”
“Opal is right,” Night Orchid agreed. “The Holy Ghost Tribe has been around for many years; it won’t be easy. We should be cautious.”
“But the Holy Ghost Tribe is very mysterious. It might be hard to get detailed information,” Frostblade said.
“Boss, does Kymani Vasquez know about the Holy Ghost Tribe?” Bob looked at Billy.
“He only knows the basics,” Billy replied. “According to him, besides their leader, there are at least twenty people with late-stage Entering Dao Realm cultivation or higher.”
“And before this, including those two elders who tried to possess Harleen and Ivy, six or seven have already died.”
“In other words, there are still at least ten people in the Holy Ghost Tribe with late-stage Entering Dao Realm strength, and four or five of them are in the Perceiving Dao Realm.”
“So many?!” Everyone was stunned.
“Boss, does Kymani Vasquez know the cultivation level of the Holy Ghost Tribe’s leader?” Casey asked.
“He’s not sure, but I guess he’s at least mid to late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm,” Billy replied.
“That strong?” Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Mid to late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm was almost beyond their comprehension!
“Boss, are you confident?” Judge couldn’t help but ask.
Casey and the others twitched slightly at the corners of their mouths. Judge, aren’t you being too blindly confident in Boss?
That’s a mid to late-stage Perceiving Dao Realm expert, one of the strongest in the Akabuchi star domain. Even if Boss uses ‘Cracked Sky,’ he can’t be a match!
“Who’s there?” At that moment, Harleen looked aside with a slight frown.
As she spoke, ripples appeared in the void beside her, and a figure came into view. It was the black-clad woman they had seen before.
“You again?” White Tiger looked at her and said in a deep voice, “Is Akabuchi Star Palace trying to use us to eliminate someone again?”
They had long realized that the incident at Black Rock Gorge was Akabuchi Star Palace using them as pawns.
Before White Tiger finished speaking, Azure Dragon and Azure Fang had already moved to surround the woman. None of them liked being used as pawns!
“Do you think you can stop me?” The black-clad woman glanced around dismissively.
“You can try!” Azure Dragon responded sternly.
“You talk big for someone with little skill. If you can withstand half a move from me, I’ll consider it your win!” The black-clad woman said coldly.
“Bring it on!” Azure Dragon’s aura burst forth.
“Azure Dragon!” Billy stopped him. He could now sense her cultivation level-late-stage Entering Dao Realm-far beyond Azure Dragon’s capability.
“Boss, let me test her…” Azure Dragon replied.
“Stand down!” Billy interrupted him.
“Alright!” Azure Dragon pouted and stepped back with the others.
“What do you want?” Billy asked the black-clad woman.
“I’m curious about what you’ve been through these past few days,” she said. “Last time I saw you, you were at seventh-rank Otherworldly Realm. Now you’re at second-rank Entering Dao Realm in just a few days. Isn’t that too fast?”
Anyone would be shocked by this! The events at the competition had reached her ears immediately. When she heard that Billy had killed an eighth-rank Entering Dao Realm expert with one move, her jaw dropped. A few days ago, she had checked his cultivation-it was indeed seventh-rank Otherworldly Realm. Even if he could challenge higher ranks, this was too much!
She wanted to know what had happened to Billy over these days; it defied her understanding!
“Just lucky,” Billy smiled faintly.
“Quite lucky,” she said, seeing that Billy didn’t want to elaborate. She didn’t press further. With a flick of her finger, three storage rings appeared before Billy.
“The storage rings contain the prizes for second to fourth place in the Prodigy List.”
“Thank you,” Billy accepted them.
Although he had said at the competition that he wasn’t interested in the prizes, now that they were delivered to him, he gladly accepted them.
“Aren’t you going to check what’s inside?” she asked.
“I trust Akabuchi Star Palace won’t be stingy,” Billy shrugged.
“You have quite some faith in Star Palace!” She laughed.
“You didn’t come here just to deliver prizes today, did you?” Billy continued.
