Checking the notifs that I received after finishing my evolution while disregarding what the Dragon Ancestor said for now, I analyzed the changes and benefits I got.

[ Race: Draconic Human

Main race: Human - Sub race: Dragon ]

Looking at that, I could finally ascertain that evolution wasn't a race changer, it was more of a race developer, or else my race would have been completely changed into 'dragon'.

Followed by that was the main reason I chose to go on with the evolution, the stat cap removal!

Evolving using dragon bloodline had actually allowed me to double that cap which pretty much meant that I won't have that much trouble that would limit my stats for a very long while.

Secondly, I managed to obtain 10% of my stats as an evolution body developing, so if we disregard the unknown intelligence, it meant that I received a whole 18 points!

18 points was almost 15 levels worth of points!

The third benefit was the racial elemental affinity of sky dragons, boosting the already existent attributes and even allowing me to develop half a water attribute…

'kind of useless…'

As I already had my methods increasing my elemental attributes, a pseudo water attribute didn't seem like a great thing to get.

'But I can consider it if I didn't manage to find a suitable elemental art, I guess…'

If I was left with no other choice but to abandon the linked way, I might have to use to develop another pseudo fire element, but I already had a way in mind to possibly obtain the suitable art so it all depended on whether that worked or not…

The fourth benefit was also the one that had a great weight to it on a similar scale to the cap removal…

I had actually managed to advance to the third elemental stage!

The third elemental stage was confirmedly regarded as the major threshold as to when one could realize the true power of elements.

The first stage strengthened the body and prepared the body for elements.

The second stage was basically filling the body with elements allowing further elemental abilities to be developed.

Finally, the third stage was the ability to upgrade the 'Elemental Domain' from a normal outer elemental container into an actual domain for its user.

The concept of elemental practice was simple, from inward to outward.

At the start of the third elemental stage, one would be able to draw elements from his body, control it and move it within his 'Elemental Domain'.

Just like how uncle Blue unleashed that lightning blade, he materialized it inside his domain and sent it to decapitate the Corrupted Emperor…

Your prowess as a 3rd elemental stage practitioner would be decided by how far could your elemental domain reached and how precise was your control of it…

The precise control part would only be obtained by repeated control but…

I could already cheat my way around that with 'Telekinesis'!

as for my 'Elemental Domain', it could already go as far as 10~11 meters! Not to mention that wasn't the limit…

Normally it would be so, but the second part of this benefit was increasing my elemental capacity by 50%!

So, even though I actually reached the 3rd stage which should have been the limit of 'elemental enrichment' I could still fill my element stat by another 18 points!

Considering all these factors, I could already be considered an intermediate 3rd stage practitioner even though I just advanced, with room to grow even more!

The fact the my capacity wasn't full also meant that I didn't have to depend on the risky 'Elemental Interfusion' way to add further elements!

This pretty much meant that my elemental path was very stable, solid & promising, all that was left was to train a good 'Elemental Manipulation' method…

The last thing I obtained was actually an innate ability, 'Dragonization', which meant that I actually had two innate abilities!

That was quite an amazing feat considering that it was the criteria of the beta testers to have just one…

Unfortunately, even though I wanted to test it, I could only wait for now…

[ As you have just completed your evolution, your body needs a week's worth of time to adapt completely before you can use your racial innate ability. ]

That was the system's answer…

Finally, the most unexpected thing of this evolution was the surprising one step leveling on 'Omni-Mastery'!

According to my experience, leveling it up had always been a ladder type of process, which had to be completed in steps, however, this time it happened at once all of a sudden.

But it wasn't like it was too hard to understand, after all, an evolution should only happen once in a lifetime, so it would be strange if the skill expected me to repeat that to unlock it, that would make no sense, it was just that…

'How am I supposed to obtain another rare dragon bloodline…'

Even the Dragon Ancestor said that there was a very limited number of dragons, so it seemed like a bit of an exaggeration to be able to obtain one that easily…

Of course, that was better than having a mixed race, which would have basically killed the skill's worth, as it was just that much better to have an impossible path than a blocked one.

'Let's take it easy for now.'

That didn't mean I wasn't satisfied with my current evolution gains, I was in fact overly satisfied so it wasn't the time to think about more evolutions anyway…

`~~`~~`~~`

After coming out of seclusion, I decided to move ahead with the schedule, after all, now that I finally reached the 3rd elemental stage, it meant that I would have to go ahead and finally complete the birth of the Thunder Lion's descendant…

But I didn't want to do that in the Light Domain…

The reason for that was related to the laws of domains and monsters, as the domain of light which had close relations to lightning, if the Thunder Lion's child who had his primary offensive attribute as lightning was to complete his birth process here, he would be shackled by this domain, of course in exchange he would receive a 10% ability amplification buff that came in lines with 'Loved Child of the Domain' but that wasn't worth the shackles, especially when I was just planning to leave the domain.

So to give it freedom and to fulfill the blood contract, I already told my 'uncle' that I was leaving for a certain place, in a vague way, and also discussed a bit with Jean and told him that I would count on him from now on, put everything needed in my ring and finally…

'Ancestor?'

{Yes, my child.}

'... I'm ready.'
