Fiana was somewhat taken aback by Loren's words. She turned her head and stared at him with eyes like knives, her brows slightly furrowed.

How had she never heard that the Orchid Family possessed the two Rare Professions of Bloody Assassin and Shadow Thief?

As far as she knew, the Orchid Family only had methods for changing into two Rare Professions. One was a warrior-type profession, while the other was the one she had changed into—the Snow Dance Swordsman.

And changing into a Rare Profession was not something one could do casually. The requirements were extremely harsh. Of the more than two hundred people who had changed into Snow Dance Swordsmen alongside her, only twelve had ultimately succeeded.

The elimination rate was undeniably high.

Could this Bronze Grade thief really change into a Rare Profession?

Seemingly noticing Fiana's confusion, Loren smiled.

"This was an opportunity I obtained by chance. It's normal that you don't know about it."

Fiana's expression turned cold. She snorted but said nothing more.

Everyone had their secrets, and since Loren had put it that way, she could not press him further.

Anor, who had been listening nearby, did not care about any of that. His eyes were filled with longing.

"Lord Loren, if possible, I am willing to change into a Shadow Thief."

Loren found that somewhat amusing. The man was clever enough, but he was clearly not someone unafraid of death. Bloody Assassin sounded like a profession that walked the edge of death.

Fortunately, he only needed Anor to gather intelligence. He had never expected the other man to go onto the battlefield.

"Kneel. I shall grant you power."

Anor nodded excitedly and immediately dropped to one knee before Loren, looking up at him with great anticipation.

Fiana, whose bearing was as cold as frost, was stunned by the sight. Kneel? Grant him power??

Were Rare Professions not something one had to painstakingly train for over time?

They could be granted like this? Was this some kind of joke??

Just as she was at a loss for words and even began to suspect that Loren had been deceived.

Loren placed his palm on Anor's head. Then, chaotic light in countless mixed colors burst from his hand and surged directly into Anor's body.

Fiana: ???

What the hell was this?

At that moment, Anor only felt endless information flooding into his mind—how to conceal his figure, how to use his own power, how to hide his aura, how to track.

Techniques related to the Shadow Thief were rapidly absorbed by him. Vaguely, he felt as though he had trained somewhere for countless years.

Then the aura Anor gave off began to gradually change. It went from imposing at first to slowly fading away, until eventually it vanished altogether.

If he could not be seen with the naked eye, one might not even be able to sense Anor's existence.

Fiana's originally indifferent face was now filled with astonishment. Her beautiful blue eyes were fixed tightly on Anor, her mind full of disbelief.

Th-this was impossible?!

A Rare Profession could actually be directly instilled into someone??

She felt as though the worldview and understanding she had built over more than twenty years were crumbling apart.

When she saw Loren half-squinting, as if he did not find this unbelievable in the slightest, she became even more bewildered.

She had to be seeing things. She had to be!

After a while, Loren slowly withdrew his hand as he looked at Anor, whose eyes remained shut.

Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Fiana's stunned expression and immediately smiled.

"Surprised?"

Fiana frowned. Her face returned to its cool composure, and she did not respond.

If directly allowing someone to change into a Rare Profession was not enough to surprise someone, then what was?!

Even Transcendents, or perhaps even Legendary powerhouses, could not accomplish something like this!

Hmph, this guy was definitely trying to irritate her!!

About ten minutes later, Anor slowly woke up.

The instant the scrawny thief opened his eyes, his body suddenly bent low, his gaze becoming as sharp as a cheetah's. His aura vanished without a trace.

Only after he saw Loren standing by the window did his expression relax. He smiled again, then stepped forward and shouted excitedly.

"Lord Loren, thank you for your gift. I have already mastered the techniques of the Shadow Thief!

You are truly too great. I swear that I have never seen such a special method of changing professions!!

Praise be to you! My lord, you shine brighter than the sun in the sky!

Your radiance shall illuminate the earth. You—"

Anor poured out nauseating flattery as though it cost nothing, making Loren's mouth twitch.

That was far too direct. Couldn't he be a little more subtle?

The Eye of Truth activated.

Anor

Level: Bronze Beginner

Bloodline: Human Bloodline (Unawakened)

Profession: Shadow Thief (B-class). Profession Skill: Stealth Technique (B-class). Makes the user completely invisible. Once strength reaches the Platinum Level, Stealth Technique will render the user intangible and allow them to pass through walls.

Loyalty: 89

Introduction: A human with decent talent as a thief. Perhaps he can steal something while others are asleep.

Loren nodded slightly as he examined Anor's attributes.

After changing into a Rare Profession, he had directly gained a B-class special skill. No wonder Rare Professions were so sought after.

Anor said excitedly, "Lord Loren, I gained a powerful invisibility skill that can completely conceal my aura."

As he spoke, his body shifted slightly. A strange power enveloped him, and he vanished into thin air within the room under Loren's gaze.

Fiana, who had been observing coldly from the side, narrowed her eyes, her voice carrying a hint of amazement.

"A Platinum-grade thief's skill? Advanced Stealth Technique?"

The invisibility techniques of low-level thieves were a joke. They could only use shadows to hide themselves. Only upon reaching the Platinum Level could one obtain true invisibility and completely conceal one's form.

But Anor was only Bronze Beginner. The gap between him and Platinum was far from insignificant.

To master such an advanced invisibility technique at this level, he truly deserved to be called a Rare Profession.

But because of this, Fiana's emotions became even more complicated. Looking at the calm Loren, she could not describe how she felt.

Thinking of herself, she had endured years of grueling training day and night to change into a Rare Profession. She had suffered countless hardships and setbacks before finally succeeding.

Now, a petty thief could so easily gain a Rare Profession merely by submitting to Loren, and the process of changing professions had been so effortless.

The contrast was far too stark.

Even after taking several deep breaths, Fiana could not suppress the turmoil in her heart. She looked at the strikingly heroic Loren with an extremely complicated expression.

Just how many secrets was this man still hiding?
