Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1203

Andrew nodded and said, "Go ahead, Mrs. Rhodes. I'm listening."

Tiana said seriously, "When you treated me before, I'm sure you noticed how agitated my inner energy was, right? That's actually because of the martial arts method I practice.

"I've been stuck at the semi-martial king level for almost five years, and I haven't found a way or opportunity to break through. So, I wanted to ask for your help."

Andrew frowned and replied, "Mrs. Rhodes, breaking into the martial king level isn't something to take lightly. If your foundation isn't solid or the timing isn't right, forcing a breakthrough could cause serious problems."

Tiana snorted proudly and said, "I'm well aware of the risks, but if I'm asking, it's because I have a level of certainty you don't know about. To be honest, my martial lineage isn't ordinary.

"Before I left my sect, my mentor taught me a secret method that could open a shortcut to the martial king level. However, the technique requires external forces and help from outside.

"And looking around the entire Rhodes family, not one person has the strength to meet my requirements. So, in the end, I had no choice but to turn to you."

Andrew raised an eyebrow and said, "I'm curious—what kind of method could actually make that happen?"

After all, reaching the martial king level meant stepping into the ranks of true powerhouses. It was rare to see even one martial king, and based on Tiana's natural talent, Andrew had estimated she would not make that leap until she was at least 60.

Yet now, she was saying she had a shortcut, and even Andrew, with all his experience, could not help but be intrigued.

Tiana's expression shifted slightly, a faint hint of awkwardness crossing her face.
