Chen An did not hold out much hope. She reached out, pulled open the door, and cooperatively asked,
"What news?"
Xie Xie's face was filled with unconcealed pride, his chest puffed out slightly.
"I gritted my teeth and cultivated hard these past three days. I really broke through! I'm level twenty-three now!"
"Great. Keep it up."
Chen An raised a hand and patted his shoulder, her tone calm and without any exaggerated amazement.
Xie Xie followed behind her, practically bouncing with every step, his fighting spirit soaring.
"Now I have the courage to challenge you again! We have to fight another match when we have time!"
"Sure. Then I'll tell you some good news too—I've reached the Two-Ring Realm as well."
"How could you possibly be at the Two-Ring Realm... Why are you so serious? You're really not joking?"
I'm lying to you. I'm already charging toward the Four-Ring Realm.
As Chen An walked outside, she casually changed the subject.
"Have you decided on your second profession?"
The liveliness on Xie Xie's face instantly froze. He scratched the back of his head and answered weakly, "Uh... not yet."
"Then you still need to work harder," Chen An said blandly.
Tang Wuling and Gu Yue had already been waiting for a long time in the open space downstairs.

"To be honest, I was pretty worried."
Tang Wuling lifted her brows and revealed a relieved smile.
"But when I saw everyone, I stopped feeling nervous."
"What could possibly happen with Brother Chen here?" Xie Xie slung an arm over Chen An's shoulder
