"Thank you," Liter said, and then gave a nickname to her alter ego. "Xiao An."

"Xiao An? Are you referring to me?"

"Yeah, it feels weird to call you Dark Liter, don't you like it?" Liter asked.

"It's fine, call me whatever you want, we are one and the same," Xiao An said, bringing up another matter.

"By the way, Liter, remember, be careful of Osen."

"Huh? Brother Osen!?" Liter exclaimed. "Why should I be careful of him?"

"Don't you know? It was Osen who caused you to become like this today," Xiao An replied.

"..." Liter fell silent for a moment and then said, "Osen, he must have done it for my own good, right?"

"Yes, from the perspective of the outcome, you did complete the trial, but you almost died there," Xiao An said.

"Moreover, aside from that, is there really someone who unconditionally treats others well from the get-go? You and Osen have only known each other for a short time, why would he help you so much?"

"Furthermore, Osen is very dangerous, he's strong, so strong that even I, as I am now, cannot guarantee that I can escape from him if he has ill intentions towards you."

"So, once Osen turns against you, you have no hope of surviving, do you understand?"

"Osen won't do that," Liter said quietly.

"It's not about whether he would do it or not, but you need to consider your own safety now," Xiao An said.

"I told you, Osen wouldn't do that!" Liter's voice suddenly grew louder, and even Xiao An couldn't continue discussing this topic.

"Alright, alright, if you think so, let's leave it at that," Xiao An sighed. "But let me make one thing clear, we are one and the same, we cannot have conflicting interests, everything I do is for your own good."

"So, in the future, can you please not question my decisions, okay?"

"Okay," Liter nodded. "As long as you don't bad-mouth Osen."

"Alright, alright, I won't say anything," Xiao An said, then added, "Oh, because I used the power of the third order, you should also have these memories now. This means that you are now both a third-order warrior and a third-order mage."

"I will be dormant until you face danger or become mentally unstable, so it's up to you from now on."

After speaking, Xiao An's voice disappeared.

Liter stayed in the bathtub for a while before finally getting up.

After using a simple spell to wash and dry the cloth used to wrap her chest, she began to re-wrap it piece by piece.

...

The next morning, Osen woke up early, washed and changed his clothes, and then went to Liter's room.

At that time, Liter also woke up groggily.

"Um, Osen?"

"Yeah, it's me," Osen nodded. "I'm sorry about what happened yesterday."

"Ugh, it's alright." Liter rubbed her eyes and sat up from the bed.

"It's okay, Osen, I don't mind, and besides, you helped me in the end, didn't you..."

"Later, I'll take you to the training ground to have a look. If your strength is really stable at the third-order level, you should be able to pass The Empire's entrance exam."

...

One hour later, at the training ground.

Osen watched as Liter effortlessly controlled the flying carpet and wielded her sword with the power of a third-order. He nodded in satisfaction.

"Congratulations, Liter, you have successfully reached the third-order."

"Hehe, it's all thanks to your teaching, Osen," Liter smiled shyly at Osen.

"Ordinary people can't make progress from a commoner to the third-order in less than a month, Liter."

"Hehe..."

"Alright, since that's the case, we don't need to train today.""Hey?" Liter was a bit surprised.

She hadn't yet adjusted to Osen's change in attitude.

"Didn't I tell you yesterday? I'm not your teacher anymore," Osen said with a smile, then turned around. "Come on, let's go. Today, I'll take you to explore The City of Antika and also get your appraisal done at the Adventurer's Guild."

"Okay," Liter said, putting down her sword and following Osen's footsteps.

"Why do I feel like you're so happy?" After walking for a while, Osen glanced at Liter, who had been smiling all along, and asked.

"Hehe, because I don't have to practice anymore," Liter replied.

"You, you little rascal." Osen couldn't help but laugh at the simple reason.

The two of them sat in a carriage and arrived at the Adventurer's Guild in The City of Antika.

"Master Osen, long time no see." This time it was Martin who came out to greet them.

"Mr. Martin, this time I want to ask you to appraise Liter's strength." After Osen shook hands with Martin, he stated their purpose for coming.

"Alright, alright," Martin said, while also flattering Liter, "I never expected that Master Liter would be able to undergo a strength appraisal so soon. It seems that Master Osen has great confidence in Master Liter."

"It's not bad," Osen smiled and then winked at Liter who was beside him.

"Alright." Afterwards, the three of them entered the room for the strength appraisal.

Half a minute later, seeing the room filled with a deep red light, Osen nodded with satisfaction, while Martin couldn't help but look incredulous.

And that's not all, Liter went to the crystal ball to test her magic level, and once again, the room was filled with a deep red light.

"Master Osen, am I not mistaken?" Martin looked at Liter in astonishment and couldn't help but speak up. "It's only been twenty-something days, and Master Liter has become a third-tier warrior and... a third-tier mage?"

"Well, I bet you didn't expect that, Mr. Martin. This is the strength of our Liter," Osen proudly smiled.

From today onwards, Liter would step into the life of Dragon Proud Sky ahead of time.

"Master Osen, during Liter's growth process, has she used any banned drugs?" Martin quietly asked.

The banned drugs that Martin mentioned referred to the drugs that had been completely prohibited on the continent, which could enhance one's strength by consuming one's lifespan or other costs.

Due to their severe side effects, which could even cause people to lose their sanity, the production and circulation of these drugs had been completely banned by all forces on the continent.

In Martin's opinion, Liter's rapid growth in just a month must have been achieved through a miracle or by using banned drugs.

"Of course not," Osen firmly shook his head.

"In that case, congratulations to Master Osen. The Stranik family has gained another extraordinary genius," Martin said.

"Haha, Mr. Martin, you flatter me," Osen and Martin exchanged pleasantries.

At this moment, Liter walked over.

"Um, Osen, I'm done with the test."

"Not bad," Osen nodded and then looked at Martin. "Mr. Martin, please register Liter's information with the Adventurer's Guild."

At this moment, Liter tugged at the hem of Osen's clothes.

"Osen, can I make a request?"

"Hmm?"

"I want you to not disclose this information, just like you did back then. Can you do that?"
