Chapter 185 70 Points

Elmer’s aura had definitely changed, it felt more solid and powerful now.

His white beast ears were twitching with excitement, and he looked just like a big puppy finally all grown up

Dora smiled and ruffled his hair. “Congratulations.

“Are you hungry? Seven made bone broth, and there’s grilled alien beast meat.”

“Hungry!” Elmer pounced toward the dining table.

Just then, Lioren came out, pushing the door open.

His presence felt even more profound and controlled than before.

His amber eyes seemed more mysterious, his cat ears gave a little twitch, and his tail swayed lazily behind him.

“Moderate Level 6,” he announced.

He walked over to Dora, gave her a soft kiss on the cheek, then sat down next to her like it was the most natural thing in the world.

Elmer was biting into his grilled meat, his eyes wide with surprise.

Rafe stood a short distance away, watching the scene with a faint smile on his lips.

Dora glanced up without thinking and met his gaze.

They locked eyes for a second, with Lioren and Elmer sitting between them, then both looked away.

Dora’s cheeks flushed slightly, but she didn’t say anything.

She was waiting for Clive.

Time ticked by, second by second.

There was still no sign of movement from Clive’s room.

Dora started to get restless.

Suddenly, a wild burst of energy exploded from the second floor, making all the lights in the house blink wildly.

Next, a streak of lightning shot straight up, nearly blasting through the roof, but the protective shield held it back just in time.

Dora’s heart skipped a beat, and she bolted upstairs.

When Dora pushed open Clive’s door, she was greeted by a dramatic scene.

Clive sat cross-legged on the bed, wild lightning swirling all around him. His hair whipped furiously in the storm of energy, his eyes tightly shut, and his brow tightly knit.

His aura surged, nearly shattering the threshold for Level 7, but he was still just a step away.

“Clive!” Dora tried to rush over, but Rafe quickly pulled her back.

“Don’t go!” Rafe said in a low, serious voice. “He’s at a crucial point right now. If you interfere, it could be dangerous.*

Dora bit her lip, her gaze fixed intently on Clive.

One second, two seconds, three seconds…

Boom!

A surge of overwhelming pressure erupted, bathing the whole room in lightning and turning night into day.

O

The pressure was so intense that Rafe instinctively pulled. Dora back, stepping back to protect her.

Then, everything went quiet.

Clive opened his eyes, a spark of lightning flashed and vanished in his dark gaze.

Level 7.

He’d broken through.

Dora rushed over and threw her arms around him. “That’s amazing! You did it!”

Clive wrapped his arms around her and kissed her temple.

He opened his eyes and looked at her.

His eyes were even deeper and darker than before.

“Congratulations,” Dora said as she walked over and sat down beside him. “You’ve reached Level 7.”

Clive nodded, but didn’t say anything.

Dora noticed a subtle shift in Clive’s demeanor.

“What’s wrong?” she asked.

Clive was silent for a moment.

“Usually, breaking through to Level 7 brings some changes,” he murmured, his voice barely above a whisper.

Dora froze.

‘Changes?’ Dora thought.

She suddenly remembered what Shine had mentioned.

Clive might be a descendant of the Dragon Clan, and that bloodline was supposed to awaken at Level 7.

But now that he’d hit Level 7, there was still no sign of him turning into a dragon.

He lowered his gaze, his eyes clouded with a rare hint of uncertainty and disappointment.

Dora held his hand firmly.

“Clive,” she said gently, “Shine said it was only a possibility.

“It’s not certain that everyone will transform into a dragon.”

Clive didn’t respond.

Footsteps echoed outside the door

Rafe came in carrying two cups of hot coffee and took a seat across from Clive.

“When I broke through to Level 7, nothing happened for me either,” Rafe said, sounding relaxed.

“It wasn’t until I hit Moderate Level 7 that my six tails appeared.

“I’m from the nitre-tailed fox bloodline, so even at Moderate Level 7, my bloodline still hadn’t fully awakened/

Clive looked up at him.

Rafe paused, a faint smile playing at his lips. “You’re only at Primary Level 7 right now, so there’s no need to hurry.

“Just let things settle for a bit, then aim for Moderate Level 7.

“When that time comes, you might just get a surprise.”

Clive looked at him, the uncertainty in his eyes slowly fading away.

“You mean…?” Clive said.

Rafe adjusted his glasses and continued, “Bloodline awakening works differently for every beastfolk.

“Some beastfolk are born with their bloodline awakened, some have to wait until they reach Advanced, and others need some kind of catalyst.”

He paused, glancing at Clive.

“Why not go ask the Dragon Abyss Clan patriarch sometime?

“Since he recognized your bloodline and even gave you a pendant, he probably knows how to activate it.”

Clive was silent for a moment, then nodded.

“Yeah,” he said.

Dora squeezed his hand. “Once we’re done with everything, I’ll go with you.”

Clive looked at her, the disappointment in his eyes finally replaced by warmth.

“Mm,” he murmured.

Dora turned to look at Rafe.

Rafe was usually pretty shrewd, but when it really counted, he always had the right words.

“Rafe,” Dora said.

Rafe immediately looked over at her.

“You’ve worked hard these past couple of days,” Dora said. “I’ll give you 20 points.”

Rafe’s eyes lit up.

“Twenty points? That puts me at seventy!’ he thought, barely able to keep his excitement under wraps.

He pushed up his glasses, trying to maintain his usual cool and composed demeanor, but he couldn’t hide the grin tugging at his lips.

Elmer was off to the side, watching, and couldn’t help but snort.
