Mixed Blessing System

When Annaliese received Lothur's order, she attacked that person's defenseless chest with her spear.

​ Lothur's plan was for him to retain his opponent. But, at the same time, she, who had a Strength attribute higher than his, would mercilessly attack such a person.

Neither of them expected to beat this person by doing this, but they thought they could hold him for the 5 minutes of combat.

Such an individual was stronger than them in every way. But being held by someone with a body resilience similar to his, he would have difficulty escaping. At the same time, he could not focus all his powers on escaping from Lothur, as Annaliese's attacks could hurt him.

So, by having his forces subdivided between protecting himself from Annaliese and trying to free himself from Lothur, he could hardly react to the silver-haired young man's plan effectively.

There was no way to use spiritual techniques when he was motionless, with his arms restrained by force. He could even circulate his energies internally in his body. Still, he needed freedom of movement to move his powers outside his body and release them properly.

When spiritual energy left a cultivator's body, it began to dilute in the environment, mixing with the free energy in the sky and on earth. At the same time, the chaotically mixed Natural Laws in this world would absorb the laws behind a cultivator's techniques.

Then, will was not enough to activate such a technique! Instead, a cultivator needed to use means to control their energy outside of their body and keep their laws infused into these 'packets' of energy.

To do this, a cultivator needed to use his hands, 'molding' such energy with the Natural Laws to form their spiritual attacks or defenses.

For example, someone forming an earth barrier would have to place their hands on the ground and make such a thing appear from the ground. At the same time, a person using water to attack would have to direct such a thing with their hands if there was liquid water near them.

In the case of Viktoria's 'flower,' she needed to join her hands in a kind of seal to create such a thing.

Thus this level 10 young man could not use his soul techniques to attack Lothur and Annaliese as long as his hands were restrained!

And with that, seeing the blade of Annaliese's spear cutting diagonally across his defenseless chest, he pressed his teeth together, turning red with rage at his helplessness.

"You bastard! Let me go!" He shouted, just as Annaliese's blade cut through the fabrics of his clothes, scratching his skin.

At the same time as this was happening, all the people in the surrounding area were shocked at the development of Viktoria's strange act.

Everyone had thought she was crazy throwing someone at level 10 in the direction of these weak 1st stage youths. After all, what could they do against the Klassen family competitor?

However, when they saw that Lothur not only tried to immobilize his opponent but succeeded in doing so, they all opened their mouths in surprise.

That was particularly true for the enemies of Lothur and the Frost family. They just now had little smiles forming on their faces at Viktoria's ill-thought-out stroke.

They thought they would finally see the end of the man who had disrupted most of their plans this day. But then, not only did Lothur not go bad, he managed to trap the level 10 young man as Annaliese attacked.

"How is that possible?"

"How can he hold someone at the 1st Revolution?"

"That..."

"That's unbelievable!"

"The bastard was hiding a lot of his strength! He has such a sturdy body..."

Several leaders of House Frost's enemy families started arguing in their VIP areas, watching Annaliese destroy their opponent's clothes.

"The bastard is truly going to stand in my way!" Kai almost felt like pulling his hair out in anger, frustrated once again on this terrible day.

Meanwhile, Aiken was staring open-mouthed at where his daughter and Lothur were. He observes the red scratches on that Level 10 young man's abdomen and chest increasing with Annaliese's blows.

"Unbelievable! They are doing this!" He commented to his wife, who had her eyebrows fully drawn together at the moment, understanding Viktoria's movement.

Meanwhile, Gomeric was watching the enemy of Lothur and Annaliese scream in frustration, standing next to his wife and daughter. "Is he truly holding that young man? How is that possible? Elke, what is the exact strength of that young man?"

Elke was as surprised as her mother, who had trained with Lothur before. "I don't know. He is exceptional."

Along with the discussions in this coliseum, Lothur was already breathing with difficulty, feeling his energies drained by holding this person.

But his work up to this point had not been in vain. The level 10 young man was constantly using his energies to defend himself against Annaliese and to try to free himself from Lothur by 'putting' his soul power into his body. Because of this, he had also used up many of his powers in these first two minutes of combat.

At the same time, Annaliese had inflicted a series of blows on him that had already opened painful cuts in his chest and abdomen.

Annaliese was not strong enough to injure him to that degree. But, as she focused her blows on the same points, she slowly increased the severity of the injuries on that body.

Thus, their opponent's white skin in that area of his body was already red with his blood as he felt intense pain.

"Ahhhh! Damn you! I'm going to kill you two!"

"Let me go!"

He screamed like a madman, his voice hoarse from the constant screaming.

But Lothur and Annaliese were too tired to pay attention to his speech and kept their plans in mind as shouts from the coliseum audience reached them.

"Cowards! Fight like real cultivators!" People from the Klassen family shouted from their respective positions.

"Humph!"

"That's easy to say when your candidate is fighting people two levels weaker than him..." Someone spoke in mockery.

"Tsk! Idiots. There is no such thing as cowardice in a fight. I would use a chicken bone to kill if I had to!"

"Haha, is the great Klassen family 'crying' for the 'injustices' of the world?"

Tension rose in the area as many rivals of that family exclaimed, along with the screams of rogue individuals.

Simultaneously, Viktoria had already eliminated the level 9 woman, who was outside the combat platform now. As for her two remaining opponents, they were both sweating to fight her.

It was less complicated for them to fight this woman than it had been for the Spiritual Warriors of the Sitz family who had fought her earlier. After all, one of them was a level above the weaker of those two of that other family.

However, that was only a difference of one level, and Viktoria was still stronger than both. Consequently, they were in a passive position at the moment, suppressed by her merciless blows.

Viktoria was watching her sister and Lothur's 'battle,' so she wanted to finish with these people as quickly as possible to go and help them!

'There are still 2 minutes left... I have to be faster!'
