Mixed Blessing System

Hours later, Lothur had already competed in his first round of the day, having once again won and secured a point for the Frost family.

After that, he accompanied Annaliese to her match of spiritual cooks, a competition in which Viktoria believed her sister would go no farther than the third day of the Province Conference.

However, Viktoria was ignorant about what her beloved sister had been doing with her husband. Therefore, she had made a mistake, and Annaliese managed to cross that line!

And at this moment, Lothur saw her beating her opponent with difficulty on that platform of disputes for spiritual cooks, moving on to the fourth day of trials.

He smiled at her and looked at his sister-in-law\'s status.

[Name: Annaliese Frost]

[Cultivation: level 8]

[STR: 33.8 -> 34.5]

[CON: 41.9 -> 43.6]

[DEX: 36.5 -> 37.1]

[AGI: 34.8 -> 35.5]

\'Anna has been improving a lot lately...\' He saw her coming towards him and was quick to congratulate this woman.

After smiling amidst her agitated breathing, given the fierce contest she had just had, Annaliese said in a low voice. "I won today, but I don\'t think I\'ll be able to keep winning. Next day\'s opponents are too strong for me."

Viktoria, who was standing next to Lothur, then commented. "It doesn\'t matter. You get this far has already been a great help."

Hearing this, Annaliese looked at her family\'s position and felt she had done an excellent job, even if she could not secure more points the next day.

[10th. Frost Family: 43]*

While they were talking, Anneke appeared at that competition site for cooks and approached where Lothur was standing.

She had been following this young man\'s results for the past few days, but due to her competition, she had not had time to look for him.

Unfortunately, she had been eliminated from all her competitions the day before, so now she was free to wander around the coliseum without worrying about her family\'s disputes.

"Lothur, you are doing much better than I had imagined..." She said as she reached behind him, surprising her former student, who promptly turned to watch her.

Seeing Anneke, with whom he had yet to develop their relationship further, Lothur smiled and said. "You should trust me more, hehe... But your family is doing well. I didn\'t know House Koch was so capable."

Anneke was not bothered by Lothur\'s lack of knowledge regarding the province\'s powers and smiled.

As for Annaliese and Viktoria, they both looked at that woman, with the latter congratulating Lothur\'s former teacher. "Your family is doing extremely well. Maybe you will finish in the top five."

"Maybe not..." Anneke commented, feeling that the results so far had not been good enough for her family to rise to the top.

All the families above House Frost\'s position in this competition had lost points by more or less equivalent amounts. Of course, families like Baier, Sitz, and others had lost more for acting against Lothur. But all had suffered from the presence of this young man in this competition.

Not all had forced encounters of their youths with Lothur. But as the competition progressed, the number of competitors decreased, and these families ended up having to face him.

Since there were few 2nd stage competitors in this competition, Lothur had gotten the upper hand against all his opponents.

That was particularly true for the spiritual professions competitions since his mental attributes were far superior to his physical ones, which made him even stronger.

Also, even 2-star practitioners would have a challenging time with him because of this!

Thus, the prominent families of this province in the last tournament were losing essential points in this edition.

It was just a shame for the Frost family that Lothur was only one, and those other families would still finish far ahead of them anyway.

Anneke then said. "Anyway, it is your family that is doing very well. You will probably get to 6th position if you keep winning like you are."

The last final was the day that distributed the most points of all. Because of this, there was still the possibility of many changes at the top of the ranking in this competition, even considering the few changes in this ranking until now.

Whoever made it to the final and had the chance to play all the matches could have the chance to score up to 4 points in each competition they took part in. Because of this, Anneke thought that House Frost would finish in such a good position.

And hearing this, Viktoria and Annaliese naturally could not help but be happy, wondering how good it would be to finish in such a position.

6th place might not sound like much, but for an organization that had finished 15th in the last edition of the conference, that was impressive.

But Lothur thought that this family could go further than that. \'That will depend on the last day...\' He thought as he had his eyes closed.

...

After the previous meeting, Lothur\'s group chatted for a while with Anneke, then went on with their business in the coliseum.

They ate, and Lothur went to have fun with Annaliese before his first test of the afternoon, which he once again won. Next, he trained with Rebecca and then watched his sister-in-law win her other competition, but this time has gone to her limit to win.

Then, after he won the last match of the afternoon, Lothur said goodbye to Annaliese and stayed with Elke for a while before heading towards his combat platform.

He had a match against a member of the Waldauer family, someone he knew, Caroline!

Upon arriving at the place where the match would take place, Lothur noticed many members of her family in the vicinity. Among these people was the patriarch of such a noble house, the Duke, whom Elke made a point of showing such a person to him.

As he looked at that influential local expert, Lothur could not help but frown as he saw the extremely dark expression on that person\'s face.

\'What\'s wrong with him?\' He wondered if he had offended such a person.

But there was no way the Duke of Linn Province could not look like that. Only a few moments ago, his son had asked a question that had irritated him immensely.

"Father, didn\'t you say a single person couldn\'t make the difference needed for House Frost to finish in a good position in this conference? So why does their position keep increasing?"

He had heard that and felt an invisible blow to his confidence in his own experience to predict the Frost House\'s position in this competition.

So now, seeing that person, he could not help but be in a bad mood, even more so considering that his daughter was about to fight the little bastard.

Lothur knew none of this and headed for a place to sit with Elke and wait for his time to fight.

In the meantime, he took the opportunity to spy on his woman\'s status and his own.

*I made a mistake earlier and added 2 more points to the rankings.
