132: Chapter 132 Elena! A Qualified Partner! 90 Points! Lower God Level Ten!

This time, there was no need for many words.

Elena closed her eyes, her long eyelashes trembling, and she proactively tilted her slender, fragile neck, presenting it to Rowan without reservation.

Rowan did not hesitate any longer and bowed his head once more.

The dark golden Prince's Origin Blood was injected into Elena's veins again.

"Mmm—!"

Elena let out a soft, trembling cry!

This impact was even more violent than the last!

She felt her blood boiling and her soul burning; under the impact of the massive Prince's Origin Blood, some invisible shackle deep within her bloodline emitted a cracking sound that seemed to come from the level of her soul!

Her aura began to climb and transform at an astonishing speed!

Faint, extremely weak dark golden halos and pale blue electric sparks intertwined and flickered around her body.

Her skin became even more translucent and flawless.

Every line of her facial features seemed to have been re-sculpted by the finest carving knife, breathtakingly beautiful.

It even carried a complex aura that was a mixture of purity, Charm, and mystery.

As for Rowan, he felt his Breathing Technique proficiency, like floodgates opening, plummeting crazily once again!

[lv3 (1862/30000)] → [lv3 (262/30000)]

1600 points!

It consumed even more than last time!

His face turned pale again, and fine cold sweat even seeped from his forehead as a wave of emptiness originating from the foundation of his power washed over him.

But he stared fixedly at the panel in his mind, waiting for that number to change.

Finally—

The text on the panel began to twist and change!

[Vampire Baron] -> [Vampire Viscount]

[89 Points] -> [90 Points]!

It succeeded!

Rowan felt a pleasant surprise in his heart and let out a long sigh of relief.

But what followed was a deeper exhaustion and a feeling of near collapse.

He looked at the pitiful data on the panel:

[Remaining Free Attribute Points: 184]

[Myriad Furnace Breathing Technique lv3 (262/30000) (Low-tier Great Knight)]

It was almost like returning to the pre-liberation days overnight.

These stats felt even more pathetic than when he had just broken through to Great Knight.

His Free Attribute Points were reduced to a pittance, and his Breathing Technique proficiency had fallen to rock bottom.

Was this... worth it?

Rowan's gaze fell upon Elena, who was in his arms, radiating astonishing Charm and a powerful aura.

90 points! Qualified Partner!

[Current Qualified Partners]

Sylvia Latour (92 points)

Aria Windsor (93 points)

Elena Farrell (90 points)

...

Once the two children in her womb were born, they would be two qualified offspring, capable of filling system milestones!

This was just the most basic benefit.

The emotional energy that a 90-point partner could bring was immeasurable.

This was a deal with a huge investment, but the expected return was equally huge.

"Investment... always carries risks," Rowan whispered to himself, "but fortunately, the season of harvest does not seem far away."

He looked at the panel.

[Drain lv2 (3921/4000)].

Since he had invested so much, he naturally had to recoup some costs as soon as possible.

Moreover, Elena, who had just advanced and was at her peak state, had emotional energy that was currently at its most abundant.

Thinking of this, he directly added points.

[Free Attribute Points -80]

[Remaining Free Attribute Points: 104]

[Drain lv2 (3921/4000) -> Drain lv3 (1/10000)]

He gently scooped Elena up horizontally and walked to the luxurious large bed in the room.

The shoulder strap of her silk nightgown slipped off...

Rowan leaned over and chuckled:

"Rest well, my Little Nightingale... However, before you fall asleep, let us celebrate your... rebirth."

...

The clouds gathered and the rain dispersed.

The bedroom returned to tranquility.

Elena fell into a deep sleep.

Rowan, however, did not fall asleep immediately.

He leaned against the headboard, quietly staring into the void, lost in thought.

Panel notifications quietly emerged and then faded:

[Charm lv3 proficiency +64]

[Drain lv3 proficiency +72]

[Free Attribute Points +108]

The harvest was not bad.

Although this was not Elena's first time blooming, she had just completed a leap in her life level, and her emotional and life energy were at an exceptionally full and active peak, bringing nutrients far richer than usual.

These 108 Free Attribute Points somewhat compensated for the resources he had almost emptied to push her to 90 points earlier.

However, what he was thinking about at this moment was not this expected return.

He was thinking about the situation he had observed during the experiment just now.

The extraordinary traits within Elena that supported her in breaking through the 90-point threshold, while massive and pure, were not entirely concentrated within herself in their structure.

A portion of them appeared in the two children currently gestating in her womb.

This meant that once these two children were born, they would inevitably take away their own share of life essence and extraordinary potential.

At that time, the total amount of Elena's own extraordinary traits would decrease.

If she did not gain enough strength before giving birth to fill this gap, then her comprehensive score would very likely fall back after giving birth, dropping below the 90-point threshold!

So that was it...

Childbirth actually consumed the mother's life essence and extraordinary traits directly!

Rowan felt a sudden realization in his heart.

No wonder Sylvia's score did not increase after she advanced in her Mage rank back then, and instead, she chose to run away.

Perhaps this factor had an influence.

Thinking of this, Rowan's eyes turned deep.

Looking at it this way, did his future garden management also need a sustainable development plan?

Draining the pond to catch the fish was not a good habit.

This advancement experiment also made him realize one thing.

That was, not all ladies were suitable for having their scores increased by being converted into Vampires through the Embrace.

Elena's transformation was essentially a deep fusion and sublimation between her original extraordinary traits and the power of the Red Moon path.

The reason these two could fuse was that Elena's [Runic Warlock] essence was about excavating and manifesting the extraordinary characteristics contained in the blood of high-tier magical beasts.

It was a cultivation of bloodline power.

This had an inherent point of compatibility with the Vampire path, which was also rooted in the bloodline and pursued the evolution of life forms and the control of power.

They both revolved around the bloodline path for cultivation.

But, Mira's situation was not like this!

Her extraordinary traits originated from the Mesa Family heritage, Blazing like fire, fierce and upright, pursuing extreme explosive power, heat, and direct frontal assault.

This type of trait had a natural, and perhaps even fundamental, conflict with the femininity, deviousness, and life-force Drain and manipulation of the Red Moon path.

If he forcibly performed the Embrace on Mira and his Prince's Origin Blood entered her body, it likely wouldn't have much of an effect on increasing her score and might even destroy her original extraordinary traits.

Mira's cultivation would ultimately have to return to her own path.

Rowan reached this conclusion.

The fact that she had an ultra-high score of 88 points as an Official Knight showed that the potential of her bloodline and traits was extremely astonishing, far exceeding that of ordinary people.

What was most beneficial for her was to continue moving forward along her original Knight's path, excavating the depth of her own bloodline, and seeking more suitable Breathing Techniques or opportunities.

Forcibly twisting her path to follow the Red Moon path would only ruin this excellent seed.

After all, she did not have the Myriad Manifestations Furnace.

Extending this logic, for someone like Aliyah, whose own path had already reached its peak and who was as diametrically opposed to the Red Moon path as light and darkness, the Embrace was absolutely impossible.

His Prince's Origin Blood would likely be burned clean by her pure and vast Primal Fire the moment it entered her body, leaving not even a residue.

Therefore, his future garden must be cultivated in a differentiated manner according to the characteristics of the flowers themselves.

His train of thought gradually became clear.

Women with lower initial scores, who lacked extraordinary traits themselves, or who were relatively compatible with the Red Moon path, could be converted into Vampire descendants through the Embrace, with the Red Moon path as their primary cultivation, to quickly increase their scores.

As for women like Mira, who had higher initial scores, clear paths of their own, and huge potential, they should be allowed to go further on their respective paths.

Having figured this out, Rowan let out a slight sigh of relief, but immediately felt a headache.

In this way, the plan for female officials he had conceived, which was to be composed entirely of Vampire descendants and be as responsive as his own arm, would need to undergo major adjustments.

To maintain their loyalty, the importance of the [Charm] skill increased...

Otherwise, it might be like with Sylvia later on; when their strength increased and their resistance improved, they would run away.

However, these were all issues that required long-term consideration.

Right now, the vast majority of participants in the beauty pageant he was about to hold should still be commoner women who had not yet set foot on the path of the extraordinary.

Moreover, through this experiment, he was even more certain of one thing.

The system's scoring system... also had some rough correspondence with strength levels.

If gods were regarded as a flawless 100 points.

Then, 90 to 99 points were the Tenth Tier Below God.

Combining this with his understanding of the power system of this world, he gradually outlined a vague framework in his mind:

Below gods were demigods.

They should be around 97 to 99 points.

Then there was the Legendary level.

It should be around 95 to 96 points.

Then there was the Sky level.

It should be around 93 to 94 points.

Finally, there was the Great Knight level.

It should be around 90 to 92 points.

Of course, this was just a rough correspondence; more specifically, it depended on the lady's initial score.

There might be ladies whose initial scores were not high enough, so even when they reached the Great Knight level, their scores were still not 90.

It was also possible for some ladies to have already stepped onto the 93-point threshold before reaching the Sky level.

For example, Aliyah and Princess Alice.

However, if the initial score was not high enough, wanting to go further on the path of the extraordinary seemed unrealistic.

As for Sylvia, he hadn't seen her for a long time, and he didn't know if her score had increased.

Without meeting her again to scan her score, the panel wouldn't update, and he couldn't know her situation.

But given her talent and the heritage of the Latour Family, plus the fact that she was no longer having children, further improvement was likely inevitable...

After thinking about all this, Rowan also felt a bit sleepy.

He bowed his head, looked at the tranquil sleeping face of the woman in his arms, and also fell into a deep sleep.
