The news that Caleb Li had become a Master Artifact Refiner spread like wildfire through the academy and beyond.
The sensational revelation caught everyone by surprise. Previously, they had expected him to make a fool of himself, but now the reverse was true.
Being a Master Refiner carried more prestige than being the Rookie King. The Rookie King title was only for first-year students, while a Master Refiner was respected throughout the Federation.
Elder Huo Su was a Tier-1 Master Refiner, and his fame was well known throughout the academy. Even powerful experts had to show him due respect when they encountered him.
And now, a rookie would receive such respect.
When Freya heard the news, she was stunned for a couple of seconds, unable to believe her ears. She had accepted Caleb Li as a talented warrior but never expected him to be gifted in refining as well.
