Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 324 Third Day Of Competition 2

[Name: Elke Becker]

[Cultivation: level 5]

[STR: 6 -> 8]

[CON: 15.4 -> 26]

[DEX: 8.1 -> 10.2]

[AGI: 8.4 -> 10.5]

'At the current rate, Elke will probably reach level 6 before the end of this tournament...' He thought, looking at her in a way that she could not help but blush.

After doing so for a few moments and being satisfied with his woman's progress, he looked at his status.

[Name: Lothur Ritter]

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

[Bloodline: Life Devourer]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 27.4] [CON: 80.3] [DEX: 23.5] [AGI: 31.7]

[INT: 68.8] [PER: 70] [WIL: 75.9]

[EVF: 395]

As he looked at his status, Lothur looked at his mental attributes, particularly Intelligence, which had not increased in a while.

'I have to look for resources like that Six Senses Pill I ingested in Lewerenz and Soul Bones. I only know of those two ways to raise that attribute besides completing the system mission.' He pondered this.

Completing the system mission or its phases was not simple. After all, the metal sheets he had to find were either in the hands of dangerous people or were wanted by such people. Thus, he could not depend on that alone to elevate his mental characteristics!

Thinking about how he had benefited from the Soul Bone he got from the soul fragment and the pill of Harry's spatial ring, Lothur could only look at those alternatives.

Lothur had yet to seek these out so far because of his severe lack of resources and strength. But with his recent increase in power and the approach of some of his plans starting to pay off, things were changing for him.

Hence, he already had in mind to look for ways to raise his mental attributes!

"Elke, where can I find pills like the one I pillaged from that fellow in Lewerenz, uh, Harry?" He asked the blushing woman, who thought he was looking at her lips.

Hearing that, Elke shook her face and tried to overcome her thoughts to answer her man. "Pills like that? Some alchemists can produce that, but it's not cheap. At the same time, it will be hard even to find someone capable of producing such a thing for someone who has advanced as far as you have."

The number of 2-star professionals in Peters City was not that significant. If one considers all the professions, there should be about 200 such individuals in that location.

But even if the number was not insignificant, it was far from ideal. Since many of them were members of families, had orders to deliver, or even cultivated and studied, it could be a challenge for someone to order something like this.

Even more so considering the ingredients were not cheap or easy to find locally. So Elke was naturally pessimistic about Lothur finding something like what he wanted easily.

"Alchemy, eh?" He understood her line and remembered that he should also learn that profession.

Previously he had seen at the auction he attended with Annaliese how much alchemists could earn from their pills. Because of this, Lothur's greed had already made him interested in this profession.

It was just a pity that he had so many things to do and so little time for it.

'After this competition, I will dedicate myself to bringing my medicine and learning alchemy to the same level as my other professions...'

'I will use that to solve my problems with my own hands!'

As he thought about this, the last match before his on that combat platform ended, and soon his name was called along with Caroline's.

Lothur left Elke where they were and climbed onto that platform to face that beautiful blonde woman.

He then looked at Caroline's physical attributes through the system screen.

[Name: Caroline Waldauer]

[Cultivation: level 9]

[STR: 39.7] [CON: 43] [DEX: 42] [AGI: 40.9]

'Oh? It looks like she has improved one point in her average physical attributes since we first saw each other.' He thought about this as he noticed his opponent's characteristics.

On the other hand, Caroline looked seriously at Lothur, knowing her chances of victory were low against him.

He smiled at her and said. "Carol, why don't you give up, and we avoid an unnecessary fight? You know that you won't be able to hurt me at your level, and you will still end up with injuries on your beautiful body..."

Hearing that, she was not offended, knowing he was speaking the truth. But as the Duke's daughter, how could she give up?

"Lothur, we haven't even fought yet. So why are you in such a hurry? Don't tell me you can't face a woman and are trying to use this excuse to save yourself?" She said as her father and brother looked at Lothur angrily, not liking his arrogant manner.

How could Lothur underestimate a member of this family, the leader of the Province Conference? It was too disrespectful, so

they could not help but express their displeasure on their faces.

At the same time, his intimate way of calling this woman had not gone unnoticed by them since, besides them and women, no one else called Caroline Carol.

'That brat... Don't tell me he covets my daughter?' The Duke clenched his fists, incredulous at Lothur's audacity in doing this in front of him.

The crowd in the surrounding area was also discussing Lothur's opening words as the match referee explained the rules, similar to those of the previous days.

Lothur ignored the noise in the surroundings and said to her. "It's up to you, Carol. I'll try not to hurt your pretty body, but I'm sorry, you'll feel pain."

"Tsk!"

"You weren't so confident before..." She said to him as she put her battle stance, already preparing to defend herself against him.

Caroline had received the report from her elders of how Lothur was in battle. Because of this, she was aware that he had not yet shown 'all' that he had, as each day demonstrated greater combat power than the one before.

Since he was already faster than her on the first day of combat, she was sure she would not have much chance to land blows on his body. The opposite of that, she would probably be in a passive position in this fight, defense being her only alternative.

So she was not underestimating Lothur and was just there trying to represent her family in the best way possible, even if she would be defeated!

The referee of the match looked at the two and confirmed that they were ready, signaling them to fight.

With that done, the people in the surroundings stopped talking about what was about to happen when they were all surprised by Lothur's speed.

When he moved, many of the weaker people in the audience did not even see his movements, just a black blur, the color of his clothes, approaching Caroline.

"So fast!" She exclaimed as she raised her weapon in a defensive position.

But it was too late. Lothur struck a blow to one of her shoulders, knocking her off balance backward.
