Mixed Blessing System

After leaving the front of the quest hall, Lothur went to the factions area on Ice\'s back, with Annaliese sitting behind him, hugging his waist.

"Where is Elke? Why didn\'t she come to me?" He asked, curious.

"Elke is settling something between the Becker family and the Ritter Motor Company, so she left the academy early today." Annaliese answered him before adding. "My sister is also dealing with company matters today, but when she finds out about your return, she will come without delay."

"Hmm, I see." He said before remembering her status.

[Name: Annaliese Frost]

[Soul Cultivation: level 11 -> 12]

[Body Cultivation: level 10]

[STR: 38.5 -> 50.6]

[CON: 74 -> 114]

[DEX: 41.4 -> 43.9]

[AGI: 39.4 -> 51.1]

[SOU: ???]

"Congratulations on your level advancement, Anna. I imagine you\'ve improved your soul strength quite a bit over this period." He said, realizing that she had not improved her physical attributes that much to justify a level increase.

That is, she had increased her soul strength so much that her level had gone up, even with relatively \'small\' improvements in terms of physical attributes.

Annaliese smiled upon hearing Lothur\'s words and said. "Yes, after you disappeared, I spent much time absorbing the spiritual crystals you gave me. So I have already managed to absorb 25% of them."

"Hmm, very good!"

"My sister has also leveled up in this period." She began to update her brother-in-law. "She has reached the 5th Revolution of soul cultivation, having already absorbed almost half of the crystals you gave her."

"As for Elke, she\'s almost advanced to the 1st Revolution, so she hasn\'t started absorbing those crystals yet."

"Is that so? I am happy for you. But I have also improved a lot in that period, so it is good that you have achieved these accomplishments."

So far, Lothur had only realized that he could help women weaker than him become more physically powerful. But recently, he had begun to think about a problem related to his strange ability.

That is, he could help women become stronger, and the greater the difference in Constitution, the better the bonus for the woman. However, this had to have a limit to what could be \'acceptable.\'

After all, the day could come when the difference in Constitution would be so high that the bonus would be \'x\' times greater than that person\'s own Constitution value. What would happen in that situation?

Because of his successive advances, he had begun to think about this problem beginning to affect his women if they did not get stronger quickly.

As such, knowing that they were getting stronger was very good for him, as it kept him from finding out if his theories about this were correct.

As long as they became stronger, whether, in terms of soul cultivation or body cultivation, they could benefit physically and maintain good Constitution values. So even soul cultivation advancement was good, and he was doubly happy with this information.

With that in mind, he and Annaliese arrived at the site of the factions in the academy, in the small village of the mansions of these groups.

Upon arriving there, the many 2nd stage students of the academy soon began to stare at Lothur and Annaliese, noting the return of this tough guy, but also his beast.

"I see you have survived yet another challenge..." An angelic voice emerged among the dozens of young people watching them heading for Ice Feathers\' mansion.

Lothur readily identified that voice and looked at Larissa, this white-haired woman. "It\'s not so easy to kill me, haha. So yes, I\'m back to disrupt my dear colleagues in Sector 6..."

"Hmm? What do you mean?" That woman\'s smile froze, with her finding Lothur a little more aggressive than before.

"It\'s not a big deal. I would just like to tell the students in Sector 6 that you should give up going to the Secret Realm." He said with a confident smile. "It would be good to avoid any kind of unnecessary embarrassment."

"Oh? Are you that confident?" Larissa\'s eyes sharpened as she looked at Lothur and then at the beast below him. \'He must have gotten stronger in that period, but I\'m at the 5th Revolution.\'

On the other hand, Lothur had Larissa\'s status in his eyes.

[Name: Larissa Carstensen]

[Soul Cultivation: level 14]

[Body Cultivation: level 11]

[STR: 70.9] [CON: 75.4] [DEX: 72.7] [AGI: 73] [SOU: ???]

\'She must have between 300 and 400 Soul points to be at level 14... In this case, even if she uses all her power, the damage she could do to my body would be small if one considers my defensive technique.\' He assessed how difficult it would be if the competition for the Secret Realm slots took place today.

However, he still had a few days until the academy\'s internal tournament, when he would have to compete with students from Sector 6 for the spot and Soul Bone that this institution would give to the contest winners.

"I am. How about you?" He asked this associate of his. "We still have about four weeks until then... Will you be able to dance with me then?"

"I am the one to say that, Lothur." Larissa wanted the top position in this contest as much as she wanted a partnership with this fellow. So she was not willing to give up, nor would she even deliver such a thing to him without at least trying.

That\'s because the Secret Realm did not lose to the Immortals Well that Lothur had gone to in the Three Great Lakes Region!

In fact, such a place could be considered even richer, a place left by the founder of Peters City after he and his allies defeated the demon Morning Star, who lived in this region in the past.

According to stories from people who had entered and survived the Secret Realm, there was an inheritance related to that demon in this alternative space.

Unfortunately, no one had ever managed to reach the endpoint of the Secret Realm, and until today, everyone only had hints that there was something of great value in that place.

So many dreamed of entering the local Secret Realm to obtain this, or even the \'normal\' items, which would be enough to improve the life of any of these students.

The competition for places to enter the Secret Realm itself already gave a Soul Bone as a gift, so it was not hard to imagine how valuable the opportunity to enter it was!

"Will you be prepared to face me in a month?" She asked. "If you are and beat me, so be it. But for now, I say you haven\'t reached that plateau yet."

"Hehe, if that\'s what you think, let\'s just leave it at that." He commented as he smiled and ordered Ice to continue on his way to Ice Feathers\' property.

The other Sector 6 students in the area stared at this, many of them feeling offended by Lothur and Larissa, as the two indicated that no one else could stop them.

\'Damn it!\'

\'These people are very arrogant!\' The leader of Draconic Feather, level 13, thought quietly.
