During this period, the students with the more substantial talents shone. It was reported that every academy's Grade 5 talents and above have already entered the Apprentice realm.
The Grade 5 talents from each academy had different degrees of strength, depending on how hardworking they were. Some lingered in the 1st stage, while almost all of them were in the 2nd stage. The most hardworking of the bunch had advanced to the 3rd stage of Apprentice Realm.
When Ethan heard this, he was shell-shocked. He had never imagined that, given the right resources and sufficient support, even Grade 5 talents could advance to the Knight level (Low-stage Apprentice Realm).
After he heard that, he was even more eager to hear about the more substantial talents.
The academies made sure to have an abundance of resources for the children and students to enjoy, with the Grade 6 talents being the 'cream of the crop,' getting most of the resources.
