Chapter 232 Training With Viktoria

After hearing Lothur's bold comment, Viktoria meaningfully looked at him, noticing the 'come to me' look on his face.

With that, she clasped her hands and started their match, going at him to put him under pressure.

She could let him start the match by attacking her to measure his level, but she wanted to test him under the pressure of being attacked.

Having good offensive moves was important. But in a deadly battle, the crucial thing was survival, that is, the ability to defend, dodge and counterattack at the right moment one's opponent.

So, she decided to start this test by putting him under the pressure of being attacked, quickly striking with her fists and legs in his direction.

Viktoria was a Spiritual Warrior who could use techniques beyond those that Lothur used. For example, she could create with her spiritual energy ice objects, which were very useful in combat.

But in fighting her husband, she would not use any of her techniques aimed at these possibilities. Instead, she would use her superhuman physical strength, similar to what Lothur could use in the 1st stage.

Pow!

Lothur felt Viktoria's first move when she appeared near him and immediately moved in the air, rotating one of her legs towards his abdomen.

Realizing this, he activated his movement and defense techniques, trying to dodge his wife's fast attack while moving to protect his abdomen.

As Viktoria had taken it easy at this first moment due to her little knowledge of what he could do, Lothur successfully managed to move back and escape.

In that instant, while Viktoria felt slightly surprised by this, he wasted no time. Lothur already knew that neither party could weaken and become passive in a fight.

No, he had to attack and put pressure on his opponent as best, so he could not miss the opportunity for a counterattack that would occasionally come after an opponent's mistake!

With that, he activated his offensive technique and used his double ax to slash toward one of Viktoria's shoulders, already preparing for his next move.

"Oh?" She could not help but express herself, seeing the almost point-blank attack he was making.

But being much stronger than him, she had no trouble deflecting that and then using her fists to punch one of Lothur's forearms.

'First, I'm going to take out your weapon...'

While she was thinking about that plan, Lothur used his free hand to throw a dagger in Viktoria's direction, already jumping back to protect himself from possible counterattacks.

Swooish!

Viktoria missed once again in her attack, having stopped the dagger he threw at her instead of hitting one of his forearms.

"You're not bad at all..." She praised him as she moved forward, beginning to increase the power of her blows and speed to a level above his.

"I can tell that you are excellent at using your techniques, but you are still below the mastery level of those of the same level and age as you."

Lothur had reached the Adept level of mastery in all his techniques. So, it was obvious that his movements were no longer those of an amateur, and against ordinary cultivators, he would already be at a very high level.

However, for those of the same level and age as him, such people already had years more experience than Lothur. So, obviously, his strokes still needed to improve, despite all the recent advances he had made.

But Viktoria was delighted to see Lothur doing so well. After all, until a few months ago, he had no power. Thus, the level he was at now could already be considered excellent!

On the other hand, she could tell that his talent was not bad. With every blow she came up against or pressed him, she felt that his dodging improved, even if subtly.

Annaliese and Elke were watching everything, but neither could notice these minor improvements. But for Viktoria, who was already at level 12, analyzing Lothur's progress during a fight was not that difficult!

'Well, his talent must be high. Although, considering that, since he's still at a 'low' level and has just learned these techniques, any training above the ordinary might boost his learning...' She considered this as she watched her husband sweat to keep up with her.

'That will change when he reaches the 2nd stage and masters these techniques better. But even then, he can still improve considerably under my tutelage.' She saw his potential and smiled.

With that, the combat between these two soon developed for a few minutes until Lothur was already getting exhausted.

Annaliese and Elke watched the whole thing up to that final moment with interest, impressed with the current level of their man but also with Viktoria's strength.

Neither of them was used to seeing Viktoria in action, so seeing a fraction of this woman's powers, they were impressed and grateful.

Grateful because watching high-level people fight benefited weaker cultivators, even in situations where the stronger side did not expose their full powers.

Viktoria might have fought with only a fraction of her strength, but every movement of her body displayed her cultivation level. So much so that even after more than 10 minutes of fighting, she had not sweated. Her clothes were still neatly put on as if she had just slowly danced with Lothur.

Therefore, both of Lothur's lovers absorbed a lot from this fight, especially Elke, who had also been inspired by her lover, who was many times stronger than she was.

In the end, Viktoria stopped her movements when she saw that Lothur could no longer bear to continue and held him by his arms to keep him from falling.

"Hah... Hah... Thank you, dear... Hah... That training was excellent." He said in his breathless tone while watching the system notifications.

[+0.1 in all physical attributes.]

[+0.1 in AGI.]

[+0.3 in WIL.]

[+0.2 in CON.]

[+0.1 in DEX.]

[+0.2 in STR.]

He noticed these improvements were inferior to those he had when training with Hilda, level 11, but he did not think it was unfair. After all, he trained much longer with his mother-in-law than with Viktoria.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

[Physique: what doesn't kill you makes you stronger]

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 8]

[STR: 24.2] [CON: 51.9] [DEX: 20.5] [AGI: 28.5]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 68.8] [WIL: 72]

[EVF: 247]

Looking at his status, he realized his average physical attribute score was over 31 points. But since he needed to pass 37 to reach level 9, he still had a long way to go.

But even considering the possibility of advancing after a good beating, Lothur no longer considered the option of asking one of his women for it. He had already seen how that could go wrong since it was tricky to beat someone you had feelings for.

Hence, even though he was hungry for power, he was not in a hurry and did not consider asking Viktoria to give him a good spanking.
