Clovis gradually opened his eyes. He had been sitting on his bed for a while.
Instead of ingesting the essence, he had been eating a lot of stuff from Another World Mall, using it to push him to Tier 2.
And during that time, he thought about a lot of things, especially regarding the matter of his mysterious strength.
The mysterious strength came without any reason and somehow powered him up greatly. According to her grandfather’s clue, it seemed that this mysterious strength allowed him to wield the power of all five evolutionary traits.
However, he still needed to know the trigger of this condition.
’There have been a few instances when the mysterious power gets activated. The first time was against the Tier 3 proconsul. It was my first time against a Tier 3 beast, so I was desperate to fight it and protect my whole team.
’The second time was when we were besieged by two Tier 3 beasts and a lot of lower tier beasts. It was a tough battle, and Jay almost lost his life.
’The last time was during our escape. From those three instances, I could see several similarities.
’First of all, I was desperate and needed to do everything I could. That was what I believed from the bottom of my heart.
’The second similarity would be the fact that our lives were in danger. Was it because I wanted to protect my people? I mean, I could understand the feeling… but is this going to be some bullshit like the power of friendship? Well, I’ll still take the power even though it feels a bit cringe.
’The third similarity was that…my life was in danger. I had been in a life-and-death situation multiple times, but those three instances would probably be the closest ones… No, shouldn’t I add that time when I was pushed off the car and surrounded by the beasts?’
Clovis couldn’t find concrete evidence, but he had gathered some possibilities. If he could test it in one way or another, he might be able to understand this mysterious power.
’Is this the reason why my grandfather believes in me so much? Even though my evolution rate is low, I can still utilize all five evolutionary traits, an achievement that no one has ever gotten before. He might think I can do it because I have never lost faith in reaching Tier 9 even with that low evolution rate.’

Clovis couldn’t help but recall the first time he awakened and found out his low evolution rate. He was disappointed, but he didn’t lose his heart and drive.
But with the help of Another World Mall, his hope became bigger, and the flame in his heart flared up.
’I don’t know what my grandfather is thinking. There’s simply no way to understand him. Even I cannot. In any case, I’ve heard that there are going to be Tier 4 humans participating in this competition.
’I haven’t fought a Tier 4 beast personally, so I won’t know how they are compared to them. For now, I will try my best to fight them, even if it means I have to rely on others.
’Right? I don’t have any thought about the ranking, but I surely want to make as much contribution as possible. Only by revealing one’s strength and talent can they be given appropriate reward and sponsorship.’
Clovis took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a moment. He had become a Tier 2 human a moment ago.
’So this is Tier 2. My senses are getting stronger, and my muscles are filled with strength. I can also feel the blood flowing in my veins… If I have to fight against a Tier 3 beast again, even without the mysterious power, I might be able to win against them pretty easily.
’More importantly, I can understand Flow Control a bit more. A special ability that is reserved for those with Blood Affinity, Flow Control. I can speed up or slow down the flow of my blood, which will give me different types of strength.
’In addition, the blood seems to be able to carry more oxygen, allowing me to last longer and produce more strength. I have witnessed Jay’s fight as a Tier 2 human, and I don’t feel like losing.
’Ah, right? I should see the items in Another World Mall later. There might be some new items that will be useful for me and the team.’
Clovis smiled, feeling pretty excited. There were still two days to register, so they could go tomorrow morning.
"Now that I think about it, where is everyone?" Clovis frowned and walked out of his room, finding no one in there. He checked on his Skyphone but found no message, so he called Kanaria.
Kanaria told him about the meeting. Apparently, they were still in the restaurant.
Clovis thought it would be good to meet the mayor, so he told her that he would be there in a moment. The mayor would definitely love to meet him, the captain of their team.
Clovis hurriedly grabbed his coat and headed straight to the restaurant. To his surprise, by the time he came out of the hotel, he would encounter someone he didn’t expect to find.
No, it wasn’t that he thought this person wouldn’t be here. Instead, he believed that the mayor would be pushing these people away so that they didn’t have to meet, considering the bad record between their two groups.
Yes, Clovis actually met Ivan’s group when he had just left the hotel. It seemed that they were going in the same direction, probably because their hotel was that way.
However, both Clovis and Ivan frowned in an instant. Ivan was accompanied by four women and one man. He could see that Ivan had progressed by leaps and bounds, but it still couldn’t be compared to the progress the Another World Mall gave him.
In addition, he recognized Elina, the mastermind of the group, and Lovelia, Kanaria’s rival.
Ivan gritted his teeth while glaring at him. "Why are you here?!"
