Mixed Blessing System

Chapter 473 Training

The two beasts looked at Lothur's confidence and did not like that.

They knew this place was special and that whoever entered there would reap great rewards if they survived. They had experienced the best of what this place had to offer when they were weaker and had more points for improvement.

Only the benefits they were used to were far less than what Lothur had gained so far. After all, normally, beasts, and even humans, only had one or two elemental affinities, which greatly limited the opportunities for those who entered this place.

At the same time, having an affinity for something was not so simple. Not everyone with an affinity for wood, for example, had the same level of compatibility!

Therefore, the effects that each one who entered the Immortals Well suffered were different and, on average, were lower than what Lothur had already achieved.

Considering this, neither of the two creatures judged that Lothur's advances so far had been tremendous, and naturally, they were curious to know the reason for his confidence.

"Training? You are arrogant." The yellow crocodile said before leaping towards Lothur with its mouth open.

But while it seemed to want to bite Lothur, its big tail was moving in a way that, for those who knew its fighting style, it was obvious what its true purpose would be.

Seeing that fellow acting against Lothur, the lizard did not stay back and showed its sharp claws, leaping up to slash toward this human's vital organs.

They knew they should not kill Lothur, or they might incur the wrath of a Divine Soul Transcendent, someone who could kill them with a snap of her fingers. But that did not mean they would not fight in seriousness!

They had both heard from the lower-level beings in the Immortals Well about what the great level 17 toad had seen in Lothur. According to that creature, his body should be as strong as that of low-level Transcendents.

That way, since those two creatures were low-level Transcendents, they would use large portions of their strength to teach Lothur a lesson!

"Human, don't blame us for this. Fate is against you!" The lizard said as it slashed the air in a diagonal motion toward Lothur's chest.

Swooish!

When he saw these two grandiose beings approaching him, Lothur held his position and defended himself using the 'two weapons' he had in hand.

He threw the demon against the lizard's claws, allowing this creature to have its body torn apart by the enemy's attack. At the same time, he used his Elemental Staff in one of his hands to strike the crocodile's jaw.

"Naive!" The crocodile laughed and closed its mouth before slamming its tail toward Lothur's body with force.

"Oh?" Lothur saw that almost instantly after the crocodile made it clear that such a thing was its actual move. 'I was sensing that there was something wrong... So that was it.' He pondered the new sensations he felt after his Intelligence advancement as he began to fight.

As he could no longer defend himself with his staff, Lothur moved his free arm to protect his torso while activating his defensive technique.

Steel Body!

Pow!

That creature's large, yellow tail struck him full on, pushing Lothur's body back a few meters, but failing to knock him over.

"Huh?"

The two beasts simultaneously exclaimed while ignoring the screams of the fearfully injured demon.

Lothur removed his arm from the front of his body and finally grabbed his Elemental Staff with his two hands, showing those two creatures that the attack had not been a big deal.

The Steel Body could increase the defensive power given naturally by the Constitution of its user by 10%. So Lothur's defensive power was actually over 330, something that gave him enough to withstand blows from those level 16 creatures.

'It looks like that crocodile didn't advance to that level long ago...' Lothur's eyes narrowed as he felt a slight pain in his arm, but nothing significant that would make him lose his attention in battle or take time to recover.

The pain level he was currently feeling was similar to that felt by an amateur after their first day at the gym. But, of course, in Lothur's case, that pain was concentrated in his left arm, the left side of his back, and his left chest.

But that was no big deal for someone who had been beaten to a near-death state several times in the recent past!

So Lothur just laughed at his enemies and activated his movement technique, running at them.

Cross Walk!

He moved quickly, but the two creatures were not low-level, so they had no trouble seeing him moving.

But still, they were impressed, noticing that Lothur was faster than them!

A cultivator's speed of movement was directly related to their physical condition. Since Constitution was that attribute, not Agility, Lothur was swift moving!

Art of Tearing Down Trees!

Lothur appeared in front of one of those two and attacked with his Elemental Staff, imitating an ax to attack that giant lizard's head.

When it saw this, the lizard could not react in time, as its Agility narrowly lost to Lothur's Constitution.

Pow!

That weapon struck the top of that creature's head, which was a little smaller than that of the yellow crocodile, but without doing much damage.

'Uh? That's it?' The lizard opened its eyes as it noticed that Lothur's attack power was an embarrassment compared to the incredible speed and defenses he had.

But thinking about it, it made sense that such a human had weaknesses, or he would be too dangerous for the leaders of this lake to allow him in there.

Thinking about it, this lizard understood everything. 'So that human is training him with us? Tsk! That's a shame, but we can't do anything about it...' It lamented in its mind, but as inferiors, they had to accept the decisions of the stronger.

If its job was to humiliate itself by training this human, so would it do not to attract the wrath of a Divine Soul cultivator!

"Let's work together. Another way, we won't be able to defeat him!" The lizard said to the crocodile.

"True. We can't lose to him, so we'll have to work as a pair!" This creature did not like that but had to opt for it.

It was better to fight alongside this lizard and beat the human than to lose to such a small and strange person!

Thus, the two soon began to combine their attacks more efficiently, little by little learning how to do this in pairs and putting even more pressure on Lothur.

Lothur saw no problem in this and continued moving around the area to dodge enemy attacks but also to find gaps to attack.

He no longer needed to use an ax to train his primary offensive technique, so he was using these opportunities to train such a thing even if he could not hurt those beings.

Thus, their fight soon progressed, while some 2nd stage beasts reached the area to observe everything, convincing themselves of what they would have to do next.
