When Lothur added almost all of his EVF points into his Constitution, he felt the muscles twitch throughout his body. Yet, simultaneously, he felt his bones ache a little, almost as if he had been beaten all over his body.

But these strange sensations only lasted a few seconds, and only Annaliese and Viktoria realized that something was happening to him.

"What's wrong, Lothur?" Annaliese held one of his arms in concern, seeing sweat forming on her man's handsome face.

Viktoria had her eyebrows furrowed and was worried that her husband might have been injured more than he should have been in the previous fight.

But then Lothur closed his eyes and deeply sighed, gradually feeling the bad feeling pass and a lightness emerge in his body.

The characteristic of his body had augmented by almost 20% in a few seconds, so it was natural for him to feel a significant change, going through a painful phase and then relief.

So, as soon as he started to feel better, Lothur realized how much he had improved, noting how full of energy and keen he seemed to feel.

'I almost advanced a level because of that...' He silently pondered, still with his eyes closed, as he considered that the average value of his physical attributes was close to 37, the value needed for someone to reach the 9th Transformation.

'Well, I don't know the minimum and maximum average value for a cultivator to be considered a 1st Revolution one. But I imagine my body is strong enough to protect me from people at the beginning of the 2nd stage.' He pondered, considering the opponents he would have to face alongside Annaliese and Viktoria in a few moments.

Then Lothur opened his eyes and replied to Annaliese. "It's nothing. I just felt my body finishing recovering. I'm a little stronger than before now."

"Really?" Viktoria asked, not finding it too strange since the speed and the way he was recovering was really out of the ordinary. So maybe that reaction was not out of the expected for him.

Annaliese felt reassured to see the smile on Lothur's lips and sighed.

"How will we face our next opponents?" She asked after a while.

Viktoria momentarily looked at them but said nothing. Lothur looked at her and then spoke what he had in mind. "We will fight a little differently from the other match. Anna and I will fight the 1st Revolution enemy, and you will deal with the rest of the opponents."

"What?" The twins exclaimed in surprise, not understanding why he wanted to fight like that.

"That will be too dangerous for you! I'd better deal with the three 2nd stage enemies while you two finish the 9th Transformation woman." Viktoria said.

But Lothur refuted his wife. "If we do that, we will lose. You may not be able to eliminate these three within the minutes of combat we have, and we'll end up with a draw, with three competitors on each side at the end of the match."

"Never mind. Following your plan will be even more alarming. You and Anna may be eliminated or worse." She exclaimed, sensing her husband's irrationality.

Annaliese was also uncertain about this, but she continued in silence, listening to her sister and Lothur.

He said. "If we do as I suggested, you will easily be able to eliminate the woman on the opposing team. Since the final two opponents are not so different from those of the Sitz family, you will probably beat them as well. That will give us the numerical advantage to win the battle!"

"What about you? How will you handle this fight?" She asked as her eyebrows arched.

"As long as that person at the 1st Revolution isn't close to his advance to the 2nd, I think I can hold him off for a while."

"What?" Annaliese asked in surprise, not expecting that from her brother-in-law.

"Can you do that?" Viktoria stood up.

"Is this person close to advancing?" Lothur questioned before answering such a question.

"No. He should be more or less at the middle part of this level."

"Then we'll be fine... Or rather, we'll get hurt a little, but there won't be any significant risks," Lothur replied as he thought his defenses could protect him and Annaliese from enemy attacks while Viktoria dealt with the rest of the opponents.

They looked at Lothur for a moment, trying to process this information.

They knew that soul cultivators like them, when they reached the 2nd stage, stopped giving importance to their bodies and did not evolve as much regarding this aspect. Thus, a body cultivator like Lothur could have the chance to injure a soul cultivator of a higher level than him.

But the soul power of this type of cultivator could be directed to strengthen their bodies or directly used in 'magical' techniques like the ones Viktoria had already used.

Body cultivators could not manipulate spiritual energy out of their bodies to, for example, create the water jets of one of Viktoria's techniques.

And such a thing was a significant advantage in combat strength since one could fight and defend oneself without risking one's skin just by fighting with spiritual energy.

But also because of this, soul cultivators usually had this attribute far above their physical attribute values, which gave them an advantage against people who followed body cultivation and were at the same level as them.

Considering this, both sisters were uncertain about Lothur's strategy since a spiritual blow from someone at level 10 could be worse than a punch from a level 15 body cultivator!

He realized what was on both sisters' minds and said. "There is a way we can deal with this. I just need to attack this person before he attacks me with his spiritual technique..."

Lothur then explained his plan to those two, little by little getting them to accept his suggestion and bet on this only alternative they had to win this fight.

And with that, minutes passed, and soon the referee in the center of that large combat platform called for the following teams to fight, the Frost family and the Klassen family!

So, as both teams climbed the central combat platform of the coliseum, the silence was again present, with everyone paying attention to Lothur's team.

The difficulty level for them had increased dramatically in this instant, and those there to enjoy the show or wishing for Lothur's demise were looking forward to this moment.

The Klassen family group was powerful and could even be considered among the ten most powerful in this competition. As such, many were hoping to see someone finally deal with Lothur and normalize the situation of this Province Conference.

"Are you ready?" The match referee approached the two groups and questioned, curious to see how Lothur would handle this situation.

He then said a few moments later. "Then let's get started!"
