"Alright, I've got the measurements. The goods will be ready to ship tomorrow or the day after." Su Li put away the measuring tape and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
The two women hurriedly got dressed.
"Sleep." Saina expertly rolled toward the inner side of the bed, making room.
Su Li didn't move.
He simply took off his shirt, sat cross-legged in the middle of the bed, bare-chested.
"Not sleeping tonight."
Saina froze.
"Then what are we doing if not sleeping?"
"Getting down to business."
Elena reacted quickly and immediately understood.
"You're breaking through to the fourth tier?"
"I can't suppress it anymore."...
...(omitted)
Su Li closed his eyes.
The Sword Spirit Root within him began to circulate madly.
Around him...
In the bedroom, the candle was nearly burnt out.
Su Li took an exquisitely crafted little bottle from his Space Ring. It was the potion Elena had brought with her, the one for breaking through from the third tier to the fourth.
"It's time." Su Li pulled out the wooden stopper.
A rich medicinal fragrance immediately wafted out.
Tilting back his head, Su Li poured it straight into his mouth.
The potion flowed down his throat. There was none of that intense burning sensation; instead, it was remarkably gentle.
Su Li closed his eyes, and the Sword Spirit Root ran at full throttle.
There was no excess commotion, no blazing radiance, no earth-shaking tremors. Only the wind blew in through the window and snuffed out the candle by the bed.
In the darkness, the barrier standing before the fourth tier simply vanished.
Just like that. The disturbance was far smaller than when he had broken through to the third tier.
Su Li opened his eyes.
Fourth-tier knight.
He raised a hand and looked at his palm.
