Mixed Blessing System

When that woman fell to the ground crying in pain, with a hole in one of her shoulders, with blood squirting from there, everyone in the surrounding area was amazed at the development of the situation.

From mortals passing by in carriages or walking on the sidewalks to the students and staff of the academy, everyone was open-mouthed and a little pale.

No one expected that two Transcendents would attack Lothur overnight in broad daylight. But to watch him being attacked by these experts and still turn the result in his favor in a matter of seconds was even more shocking.

Hell, Lothur was just a mere student of the Morning Star Academy!

But still, that was the situation in front of them, something undeniable!

Luis looked strangely in that young man's direction, wondering how he had achieved such power after only a few days in the Three Great Lakes Region.

'What kind of place did Daemon take him? Are there such gigantic opportunities in that area? At that level of attack, Lothur can already be considered as strong as me!' He realized the size of the difference between him and Lothur suddenly diminishing.

In truth, Lothur was not stronger than this man. After all, the strength capable of defeating those two individuals was not normal. One came from an artifact, something the young Ritter could not always count on, while the other came from his Soul Bone ability.

Although a Soul Bone skill was a real power, this was not something that Lothur could use constantly. That is if the enemies were on alert and had used their strength to protect themselves or dodge his attacks, his potential to defeat them would be much lower.

He might still be able to wound them, but if his opponents struggled, they could deflect enough blows for Lothur to exhaust his own strength. From then on, until he regained his energy, this young man would not be capable of using his Soul Bone ability and even artifacts that demanded his energy.

Without these abilities, Lothur's physical strength was equal to that of a level 14 person, so he could not be considered as strong as a level 16 person.

Luis knew this, but he could not help but put this young man at the same level as him since, in the early stages of a battle, this young man really had as much or more power than he did.

As he thought about this, he overcame the initial shock of seeing Lothur's powerful attacks to approach this young man and those two experts.

"Lothur, are you okay? Do you know who they are?" He asked.

Lothur finally sighed as he realized that those two would not be able to act against him for a while, while he felt exhausted by those three moves.

He used the Space Belt, activated the Golden Finger, and fired his laser beam. That had used up more than 60% of his strength.

But Lothur had a lot of power for someone of his level, and he did not look so bad on the outside.

Then, as the curious people crowded into the area now that there was no more danger, Lothur said. "Yes, I'm fine. But I don't know who they are. Only that they are representatives of my grandfather."

"From your grandfather?" Luis asked in surprise, stopping his movement to look at Lothur.

In the midst of this, a local guard watching the whole thing stepped forward and went toward the man lying in agony, who had his spine broken.

Gulp!

"Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Luis shouted at that guard as he realized that such a person intended to remove the mask from such a person's face.

"Senior, these people have broken the rules of the empire. So I will arrest them while they are incapacitated." That guard said as more men from the local guard arrived to see what was forming that crowd.

'Arrest? Is he crazy?' Luis decided to take control of the situation, afraid he would bring too much trouble to this city if he let these people deal with it.

He looked at Lothur and said. "Go to the academy and continue with your activities. Later I will call you in my office."

Lothur heard this and was disappointed, feeling that he could not loot the bodies of those two since Luis would probably take care of the situation. "Okay."

So this silver-haired young man went toward his furry companion, who was quite startled by those two Transcendents.

But Ice was also pleased to see Lothur defeating two level 16 humans. 'That was really amazing!'

Meanwhile, Luis looked at the guards in the surrounding area and said. "I will take care of the situation of those two with the Duke, so you guys can relax."

Those people no longer wanted to have to arrest two Transcendents anyway, so they immediately accepted this expert's orders.

One of the guards then began to organize things on that street. "Come on, people, the show is over! Time to get back to minding your own business!"

Slowly, the mortals and students of the academy, most of the curious people there, began to leave, commenting on the matter, still with expressions of surprise.

That was particularly true for those who knew Lothur best, such as the cases of Anneke and a woman from the Angelic Feathers.

'If he can use that kind of power in the confrontation against Larissa, there will be no hope for her...' That Larissa ally thought as she clenched her fists in frustration.

Lothur had brought good news for them with the Ritter Motor Company. But he was also slowly bringing trouble and disrupting the plans of Larissa's group.

So that woman ran towards her faction's mansion, interested in finding her leader and telling her what she had seen as soon as possible.

...

A few hours later, Lothur was on his way to the Ice Feather mansion, where he was slowly reading the documents and books from Viktoria's group's collection.

But in the middle of his way, with many people watching him more than ever, Larissa came up to confront him.

"Lothur, how did you get that? A few weeks ago, your strength was not enough for you to defeat 2nd stage cultivators. How can you now defeat a Transcendent with one blow?" She asked in a slightly agitated tone.

She prided herself on being the strongest in the academy, and the number one ranked student in that institution. But Lothur was starting to make her feel like she had someone chasing her. After noticing that he might have overtaken her, she decided to talk to him.

Lothur saw the nervousness in his ally's gaze and smiled. "What kind of silly question is that? What cultivator gives away their secrets like that?"

She clenched her fists tighter and said. "You are hiding something. It's not possible for an ordinary human being to be able to grow so fast!"

"That's right. I'm not ordinary..." He smiled as he approached Larissa and placed one of his hands on one of her shoulders. "Anyway, you shouldn't be so stressed. Tomorrow is the big day when the Ritter Motor Company factory will be ready!"
