Towards these glorious figures high in the skies, any average genius would feel a genuine sense of disparity. Whether its status or prowess, the two youth stood at the summit of the younger generation. And the adult stood at the top of Azure Lightning City.


    In fact, each of them far surpasses both Amber and Cain in terms of prowess.


    Amber specifically has a lower status than these three figures. But of course, none of that matter even the slightest to her.


    Under regr times she would''ve only lightly regarded each of them.


    With Cain by her side, he barely mustered up the drive to be cordial. The most she gave was a faint smile in terms of respect.


    And Cain simrly held an indifferent smile that appeared to have a surface level of respect. He quietly muttered, "So these are the top-ranked geniuses, huh?"


    As he talked, those three people slowly floated down to him. Two were a handsome young man and a gorgeous blossoming maiden.


    The young man didn''t have the overwhelming momentum of a genius. Instead, having a schrly Aura that made him seem genuinely approachable.


    By his side, the young maiden looked just as friendly and charming. The smile she wore didn''t have the slightest of pride. Only an overflow of bright emotions that made it seem like she honestly wanted to meet new people.


    The young man was the number-ranked genius of the entire Crimson Sea Academy, Yang Lin!


    And by his side was the third-ranked genius, Lilia.


    Two outstanding youths of their generations that had distinct bearingpared to all other of their fellow geniuses.


    At least, Cain thought this friendly facade was quite good. It truly leaves no loose end to believe they have a malicious bone in their bodies.


    "Young Cain and Amber! I''m d you waited for us. It''s good that you''re willing to meet your fellow top-ranking students."


    The one talking and the only adult there was, of course, Discipline Lord Alisha.


    At this point, she indeed became the mediator for anyone that wanted to meet with either Cain or Kali. Given their personalities, she expected Cain to reject.


    The sibling duo is only associated with Amber. And even then, it''s mainly Cain associating with Amber while Kali seems like she begrudgingly tolerates her.


    So it came to a slight shock when Cain had epted for this short little meeting to be arranged.


    But, no matter the reason, Alisha saw this as a prime opportunity.


    If Cain could find even one of their students in a slightly favorable light, the future benefits would be incredible. Any small ties mean a favor from a promising World Spirit Master! No sane cultivator would ever want to reject such an offer.


    "Well, I am in a good mood today. And Amber and I are nning to go out. So, we have a little time before leaving."


    Cain spoke with an even tone, cing the top-ranking geniuses of the entire Academy as simply another person.


    "Ah. A short time is all that we need. I''m sure you already know of us. But as a formal greeting, my name is Yang Lin. It''s a pleasure to make your acquaintance, Sir Cain."


    In direct contrast, Yang Lin''s tone was of utmost respect. And this tone wasn''t the slightest bit forced. After hearing everything Cain achieved, the respect genuinelyes from the soul.


    As Yang Lin spoke, he, Lilia, and Alishanded just several feet Cain and Amber.


    Promptly after Yang Lin introduced himself, Lilia exuded a sunshine smile and said, "And my name is Lilia. Meeting with a heaven-defying Talent and World Spirit Master is one of the highest honors! I hope we can get along in the future."


    Though both Yang Lin and Lilia showcased friendliness, the duo still stayed a respectable distance from Cain. Going up and trying to breach this distance would be a sign of disrespect in their eyes.


    "Now that we all greeted each other. Just what is the purpose of this meeting? Amber and I are on a tight schedule, so we don''t have long."


    Cain promptly got to the middle man, skipping all unnecessary small talk.


    Neither Yang Lin nor Lilia was perturbed by this. And Yang Lin took the spotlight to say, "It''s very simple actually. We will just like to personally invite you, Miss Kali, and Miss Amber over for the top-ranking meetings. There, the top 20 students gather so we can all improve our rtions with each other. And sometimes exchange pointers for helping each other gain enlightenment in any sort of way."


    "Of course, if you don''t want toe, that''s perfectly fine with us. The mere fact you''re taking the time to meet with us is more than enough." Lilia smoothly followed up, her tone pleasantly cordial.


    Listening to them, Cain quite honestly couldn''t muster up that much care. If there was another genius like Amber, he would be a bit curious to go. But, all other geniuses are nothing noteworthy.


    Even this Yang Lin isn''t someone who can cause even the slightest of ripples within Cain''s mind.


    Though he''s trying to restrain his Natural Aura, Cain could still perceive that Yang Lin''s cultivation is in the Innate Lord Realm. Lilia is weaker but is simr in the Innate Lord Realm.


    These two may seem dazzling to all others, but Cain knows they will hit an imprable wall soon. When that happens, they''ll be just another average powerhouse.


    Still, Cain did feel some curiosity about how these students'' lives are run.


    Yang Line made it seem like these ranking meetings happiness at least sparsely. And with most geniuses'' attitudes, this ranking meeting certainly has more to do than simply forming good rtions.


    So Cain decided to ask, "Before my answer, I''m curious. Is there any other good reason for these ranking meetings?"


    "Ah, so Sir Cain guessed it. Indeed, this ranking meeting is also used for us to scout each other for the annual Crimson meeting sooning up. This our rankingpetition that can allow all students to greatly change their status and gain all other sorts of rewards."


    An event that normally would get Yang Lin''s blood flowing now could barely affect him at all. What he was genuinely interested in was seeing if Cain could join so they all could witness his magnificentbat prowess once again.


    However, Alisha promptly dashed all slight anticipation smoldering within his and Lilia''s hearts.


    "Of course, this meeting is mandatory for all other students. But you, Kali, and Amber are exempt from this. Your status is unchangeable, plus we all have a full grasp of your Martial Talent. If you really want to, I can arrange perfect viewing seats for you to lounge in while watching the tournament." Alisha cut into exined.


    And Cain fell silent for a few moments. At the very least, if he wanted a good show from being bored, this Crimson meeting is certainly a potential avenue.


    But Cain didn''t attach too much importance to this. In the end, it won''t really benefit him, so Cain''s intrigue shot down to near zero.


    Quicklying to a conclusion, Cain said, "This all sounds intriguing, but sorry, it''s time for us to go. We also have our own important people to meet. So towards your offer….I''ll think it over and give you my answer then."


    "All we ask is for your consideration. Ah, here. When you do make up your mind or simply want to meet with us, use my contact ring."


    Lilia swiftly fished out her contact ring and tossed it over to Cain.


    Seeing no reason to refuse, Cain caught the ring and stuffed it into his pocket. He didn''t really think anything about gaining contact with these two.


    Although, without even having to turn around, Cain detected a slight fluctuation of emotionsing from Amber.


    If Cain could see her expression now, he woulde face to face with Amber, curling her brows in clear suspicions. Though, this questioning gaze didn''tst long as she instantly returned to her lethargess.


    Cain didn''t question it, pushing this whole meeting down to think aboutter, and then said, "Well then. Farewell for now."


    His words were like a simplemand. He didn''t need to wait for anyone else to decide when to end the meeting.


    Cain simply began heading down a different path, with Amber walking close to his side, coiling around his arm in a sweetly affectionate manner.


    As the couple strolled away, Alisha promptly snapped her attention back on Yang Lin and Lilia.


    Gone were her expressions of respect and pure joy. Only a rigid indifference that will inscribe anyone with a sense of inferiority. She sternly said,


    "Truly, you''re fortunate he decided to meet you. Now that you have don''t try to force anything or get them involved with whatever you''re thinking of. His status is something you can''t even imagine."


    Listening to her sharp tone and seeing the chilling indifference stered across her face wasn''t any for any other youth to go against.


    Even Yang Lin and Lilia sweated just a bit under this pressure. Although a testament to their firm Martial Heart, the duo still kept a calm smile.


    Yang Lin respectfully nodded, saying, "We wouldn''t dare Discipline Lord Alisha. With this, Lilia and I can go back home with a calm peace of mind."


    ….


    After meeting with the top geniuses, Cain stayed true to his words, quickly rushing out of the Crimson Sea Academy without any more interruptions.


    Before leaving, he and Amber donned gray hoodie robes, and Cain cast Chaotic Concealment upon them.


    Cain''s fully aware that going into the City now would be far too chaotic. Now that everyone knows of his face, the attention he''ll receive would be troublesome for even him.


    With expertly hiding themselves, they''ll reach Amber''s noble Family in no time.


    As of now, Cain and Amber were casually strolling through the City. Neither was in a particr rush to immediately get to Amber''s home.


    Though they rushed out of Crimson Sea Academy, they decided that simply enjoying the walk to Amber''s home would be the best to maintain their calm.


    Moreover, because they''re casually walking, Cain was able to pick up on the surrounding discussion about him.


    What he had heard left him a little bit speechless.
