Ana collected her thoughts on her way back to the quaters. She was sure that the healing properties of Ananta's saliva came from the mysterious liquid came from the bump in it's mouth.

What was magical about the liquid was it helped expedite metabolism and regeneration. Cells, organs and blood could be reformed or refreshed by the liquid so when Ananta licked Ana's wounds, it's saliva reduced her pain and cured the wound like magic.

‘ That liquid is definitely worth taking an extensive look at ’, Ana marveled .

As she rushed back to her room, Ana saw that the other young candidates were heading for the dragon field for training. So as soon as she put Ananta in the room, she shut the door and ran to the dragon field as fast as she could. By the time she arrived, they had already started the physical fitness training under Mia's strict instruction. Following her orders, each of them lifted a huge stone up and down simultaneously.

‘ Sorry, I'm late! ’ Ana said to Mia.

Mia turned to glare at Ana, her brows knitting together, while the others grew excited to see that Ana was going to be punished again.

‘ Run twenty laps around the dragon field! Don't cheat or play any tricks! A deputy instructor will be watching you. Don't forget the lesson you learnt yesterday!’ Mia yelled with a poker face, and she then ordered a deputy instructor to supervise Ana.

Ana nodded and began running around the dragon field. After the new change that took place in her body, she felt it easy to finish the twenty laps and wasn't tired at all. After she finished, she joined the others and began the physical fitness training.

Most of them were out of breath after the whole morning training, but Ana was still full of vigor despite the intense training.

‘ Did she take some special medicine or something? Why doesn't she feel tired at all?’ someone questioned.

‘ That's so weird! She was as weak as a kitten yesterday, but now...’ said another one, gasping for air.

‘ She must have cheated!’

They shot Ana suspicious scowls and murmured among themselves. They were all clearly perplexed at Ana's new demeanor. Ana soon realised she was being scrutinized. In order to clear the air, she pretended to collapse with exhaustion in the afternoon training.

Late that night, Ana took Ananta to the pond in the bamboo grove again.

‘ It's a risky try, but it's worth another shot’, what happened to her body had been exquisitely amazing after she swallowed the magic liquid. Ana desired to experience it one more time.

Although she knew well she was taking a gamble on her life, it could very well prove an effective shortcut to make her stronger. She made up her mind to try it again despite the high risk.

Ana repeated what she did yesterday. She opened Ananta's mouth and took a drop of liquid from it's bump. But she didn't take it directly this time. Instead, she picked up a bamboo leaf from the ground and folded it into the shape of a bowl. She then used the bamboo bowl to get some water from the pond. After she had mixed the liquid with water, she slowly drank it up.

After a moment, the same sensations took place, but they were not as strong and fierce as yesterday's. Ana was going through the transition much better this time and began cultivating the first grade of the mysterious dragon skill. She closed her eyes and began the meditation, channeling her dragon spiritual power to her energy meridians.

The night was over when she finished her cultivation.

As she opened her eyes, the first ray of sunlight appeared. She had finished with the cultivation of the dragon spiritual power through her energy meredians forty nine times. A whole process of the circulation usually took two hours, but she had completed it nearly in fifty minutes in merely a night! Her cultivation speed has advanced by leaps and bounds. Ana then sensed her dragon spiritual power and she was ecstatic to find that it had achieved great progress.

‘ Ana exclaimed with a wide grin as she held up the sleeping beast.

After taking a refreshing bath in the pond, Ana snuck back to her room. As she slightly opened the door, she was greeted with the sight of Fiona.

‘ Ana laughed awkwardly as wondering whether Fiona would ask about where she went. After all, she had been away from her room for two nights. And she was thinking about a reasonable excuse to answer Fiona.

But Fiona just glanced at Ana and greeted her with a nod, and then left the room right after.

‘ Ana let out a deep sigh of relief. Then she got into the room and changed her clothes for training. After she gently laid down the sleeping Ananta in her bed, she headed for the dragon field.

In the following days, after she finished the training at day. Ana would sneak into the bamboo grove at night for cultivation, using the magical saliva to help her.

It took her only two days to reach the first grade of mortal stage.

After a week, which marked ten days since Ana had come to the dragon field for training, she had reached the second grade of mortal stage. This level of rapid progress was totally unpredictable. She had also begun cultivating the second grade of the mysterious dragon skill.

However, nobody had noticed her breakthrough in cultivation, including Mia. The trace of her dragon spiritual power was still as weak as they felt before.

Because of the magical effect of the magical saliva and the intense daily training, her body had undergone extreme changes. She had firm muscles over her limbs and now even had a four pack of abs. She had grown taller and stronger too. She was no longer the weak and feeble Amelia. Now, she carried an air of confidence.

However, troubles came to visit her as well.

When she finished her training one day, the man from the Ximen Clan went to the dragon field with two other trainees and made trouble for Ana again. When the other candidates saw that, they surrounded the four and waited for a good show.

Ana remembered that he was named Bear Ximen. It was quite benefiting, because he really looked like a bear.

‘ Bear yelled at Ana, raising his eyebrows.

After what happened between him and Ana last time, he had been nursing a grudge. But he knew well that he would get severe punishment because of stirring up a quarrel, so he took trainees with him this time.

He was not stupid enough to pick a fight with Ana in person. The two trainees were his new subordinates, who were perfect to teach Ana a lesson for him. No matter what happened, he would not be taking the fall for thier actions. But Ana would be the most miserable one anyway.

Ana sneered and shot Bear Ximen a cold gare. She wasn't born yesterday and could tell what Bear had up his sleeve. She would not fall into his trap anyway, so she just ignored Bear and got ready to leave.

Bear was infuriated by this. He nodded and squinted at the trainee with a crew cut, gesturing for them to make a move.

The trainee strode forward and put thier hand on Ana's shoulder. Ana stopped at once. She turned to them and asked indifferently,‘ Can I help you?’

The trainee smriked and activated thier dragon spirit mark as Ana turned her head to them. A dazzling light appeared and they channeled the dragon spiritual power to thier fist and threw it at Ana's face.

The spectators smiled as they witnessed this. They all thought that Ana was going to be taught a good lesson this time. The trainee with the crew cut was in the first grade of mortal stage, after all! Ofcourse, they still thought that Ana hadn't reached that level yet. It was as easy as blinking an eye for the trainee to beat the living daylights out of Ana.

But to thier surprise, when the trainees fist was only an inch close to Ana's face, a brighter light flashed like lightning.

‘ Bang!’ the trainee was thrown into the air and smashed away on the ground. They struggled to get up for a while but failed.

Everyone's jaw almost fell to the ground when they saw this picture. Only now did they realise the changes that had taken place with Ana. The trace of her dragon spiritual power had grown much stronger than before.

‘ The first grade of the mortal stage!? She has reached it? How is that even possible?’

‘ There's no way! I remember she hadn't even reached that level a few days ago! How could she make such a huge progress in only a few days?’

To thier further surprise, the strong trace of her dragon spiritual power disappeared right away.
