Mixed Blessing System

Just after Lothur sighed as he prepared to enter the Morning Star Academy building with Ice, suddenly, two powerful auras appeared in the surroundings.

Lothur had good senses, so he promptly stood on alert as the hairs on his arm shivered.

"Uh?" He looked at the surroundings, where he felt the aura closest to him simultaneously as his hands moved.

One of them prepared to pick up the Elemental Staff that Lothur had already summoned from his spatial ring. At the same time, the other made an offensive stance, prepared to activate the golden ring on one of his fingers.

Ice noticed something strange with Lothur's behavior and moved, even though it did not know who, how many, or where the enemies were.

"Who's there? Come out. I know there are two of you chasing me!" Lothur shouted as he noticed two people hiding while flying at low altitude, in a position that, due to the angle of vision of this young man and Ice, neither could see them directly.

But since Lothur could see through things, he had readily identified the position of the two Transcendents watching him.

Both were at level 16, and, like Daemon's men and this individual's father, their bodies were covered by black clothing.

The two were surprised to be noticed and looked at each other.

"Looks like he got us, huh?"

"Hmm, he's better than that idiot said. No wonder he got away with it!"

These two were the replacements for the one sent by Lothur's grandfather earlier, who were there to get him to the empire's capital.

If they could do that, of course...

Lothur could not say for sure where these people were from. Still, judging from the situations he experienced, he did not think it likely that these people were from Daemon's group. After all, he had spent days in the Three Great Lakes Region, and no one had tried communicating with him.

In this case, it only made sense to consider that these were his grandfather's men!

With that in mind, Lothur said. "Go away. When I want to visit the capital, I will see this person. Until then, I don't want you people bothering me constantly."

"Oh?" One of them opened his mouth when he realized that this young man seemed to know their origin.

Since they did not want to waste any time, even though they had just started their investigation, the two decided to act once and for all after hearing that.

"Brat, if you know who we represent, then just give up and come with us. That will prevent pain and humiliation." The man said.

The woman then complemented as the two finally stopped hiding and landed about 50 meters from Lothur. "If you surrender, we can travel as teammates and even teach you a bit... There is no need for you to become our prisoner."

Meanwhile, the people in the surroundings of that street were already starting to look strangely at these people, seeing Lothur and Ice showing intention to fight in that place.

'What are they doing? Don't they know that they are in the middle of the city? Are they really going to fight here and risk attracting trouble to themselves?' A mortal thought as he hurried his steps to avoid being involved.

At the same time, some cultivators and students of the Morning Star Academy were looking with wide eyes in the direction of those people.

Two of them were Transcendent cultivators, people rarely seen on the streets of this city!

Not only that, the two seemed to be trying to kidnap Lothur in daylight!

'What happened?'

'Why are there people of that level trying to frame him?' Anneke saw Lothur leaping off Ice's back from afar as this beast showed its sharp teeth to its opponents.

At that instant, Lothur answered the lines of those two. "If you want to catch me, come! I want to see what two Soul Core Transcendents can do!"

"Oh? Are you sure about that? We won't be as gentle as the fool who came before us." The man said in a thicker tone, releasing his cultivation pressure in Lothur's direction.

Ice immediately sensed this and could no longer move. But Lothur remained calm, feeling nothing different.

With that, he did not wait to be attacked and promptly used his Space Belt, disappearing from Ice's left side and appearing on that man's back.

At the same time, one of Lothur's fingers was already completely golden when he appeared there and pointed it at the middle of that man's back.

'You will probably survive...' He thought about it, not wanting to attract trouble but aware that it would not change his situation much.

Even if he did not kill anyone, it was inevitable that more trouble would come after him because he was willing to demonstrate more of his skills in order not to be kidnapped.

Anyway, the two individuals were surprised by Lothur's movement, but while that woman jumped back, that man was completely lost.

Lothur was fast, and by combining this with the surprise factor of coming up behind this individual, he could prevent his opponent from escaping.

In the blink of an eye, one of Lothur's fingers penetrated that man's back, destroying even the Bronze-grade armor that this person was wearing.

Gulp!

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

Immediately after feeling Lothur's fingering, that man dressed all in black screamed while losing contact with his lower body due to young Ritter's blow!

Lothur already had a Constitution many times higher than that of a level 16 soul cultivator, so since that individual was unprepared and the Golden Finger raised its user's attack power to the level of his Constitution, that man suffered a vicious blow.

Lothur pierced this opponent's back with a finger and destroyed one of the bones in this person's spine, damaging his nerves!

As such, while screaming madly in pain, that person slowly began to fall towards the ground, not feeling his legs.

But Lothur did not want to stop there. He had already conquered bigger problems by the time he decided to act. So he thought it would be worth buying himself as much time as possible by taking action against that woman too!

If she escaped unharmed, the news would reach his grandfather faster than he wanted. So hurting her would buy him time!

As Luis appeared at the entrance to the academy, worried about the sensation he had just felt, Lothur fired a laser beam in the direction of that woman's right shoulder.

Laser Vision!

Lothur's eyes turned red, and soon afterward, two scorching beams of energy shot out, startling everyone in the surroundings.

"What?" That woman screamed as she felt the terror of that attack, which was enough to hurt her seriously. 'How could that be? He should have just enough power to fight against Spiritual Warriors!' She thought as she felt her shoulder pierced by something scalding.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"

She screamed in pain, losing control over her thoughts as she fell to the ground head-on, causing everyone in the surrounding area to be shocked.

In just a few seconds, a student of the Morning Star Academy had knocked down two Transcendents!
