Mixed Blessing System

The next day...

Upon waking up in the morning, the first thing Lothur did was look up his wife's status.

[Name: Viktoria Frost]

[Soul Cultivation: level 12 -> 13]

[Body Cultivation: level 10]

[STR: 55.7] [CON: 90] [DEX: 58.7] [AGI: 57.7] [AM: ???]

After noticing her status once again and remembering those he had seen the night before, he understood the practical effect of cultivating the soul without focusing on the body.

'From the looks of it, the Soul attribute of soul cultivators is far above those physical ones. That's why they have higher levels but are so 'ordinary' in terms of physical abilities.' He thought while understanding why previously he was already able to affect Viktoria's body, even though he was many times weaker than her.

"Sigh..."

'I'm still weaker than Viktoria if I don't consider my Elemental Staff.' He sighed after a while but already aiming to surpass his wife soon.

It was good that she was powerful, and he wanted to make her even stronger in the future. But Lothur would prefer him to be the strongest, for him to protect his wife, not the other way around.

So as he watched her beautiful face in the morning, he was planning for their future, considering what he would do today and had done the night before.

'I've already prepared the formations to train my Iron-grade resistances, so I'll do that later after settling my affairs for the day.'

'On the other hand, I'll leave it until tomorrow to continue my medical training so I can study a little more alchemy tonight...'

Lothur continued planning his day until Viktoria woke up, and they prepared to leave.

Viktoria would have to settle some Frost family business that morning so that she could accompany Lothur to the event that would take place mid-afternoon at the local hippodrome. Thus, she would not have time to do anything with him in the morning, and soon after a quick shower, she left for the Frost estate.

Lothur, on the other hand, had to follow his routine at the academy and quickly went to where he would meet Annaliese and Elke.

...

After Lothur 'reviewed' Elke and Annaliese, these two women promptly noticed the differences in him and soon after heard what had happened.

Like Viktoria, both were surprised but also fearful of the trouble that might come to him after that situation.

But with their conversations, they had understood that they could only do their best to get stronger for the time being and turned their attention to what was in their power.

Elke accompanied Lothur in Sector 2, while Annaliese continued her activities in Sector 4, where she would soon take the tests to advance to Sector 5.

Her strength had dramatically increased since she began to have fun with Lothur. Furthermore, the theoretical content was relatively the simplest for a cultivator to achieve regarding the sector ascension test. So with her new cultivation speed, Annaliese was close to reaching the requirements necessary for this advancement.

Anyway, after searching for quests in Sector 6, following Rebecca's recommendations, Lothur managed to leave that place to go to Annaliese and Elke.

He diverted on his path many individuals who wanted to approach him in that place, something that had frequently been happening in this academy.

Some wanted to be his friend. Others just wanted to create connections with someone as talented as he was. But some had resentments and wanted to either cause trouble or provoke young Ritter.

Among them were people from the Baier and Waldauer family.

But on this day, with his visual skills that had recently advanced, he easily sidestepped those problems so as not to be late to go to his appointment.

"Are you ready?" Elke asked when she saw Lothur arriving at the main exit of the academy, where she and Annaliese were already waiting for him.

Lothur was still in his academy student clothes. Still, since he and his group would have some time at the hippodrome before the start of their vehicle presentation, he would leave to change in that place.

"Hmm, shall we go there?" He nodded and looked at the two, indicating the carriage of one of them that was waiting for them nearby.

They then entered that carriage and traveled for the next few minutes to one end of Peters City, where the local hippodrome was located.

At the same time as they were moving, Viktoria, Frederik, and Johann were also making their way to that place, alone or with people from their families.

...

All those closest to Lothur were leaving for that place in a hurry to arrive before the most important guests.

Meanwhile, one of those important people was watching the exit of the Morning Star Academy at this very moment, looking where young Ritter had left.

"That young man seems to have changed somehow..." The Transcendent behind that institution muttered to himself, noticing that Lothur looked different from the day before.

The academy principal had been watching Lothur daily because of what he knew about this young man's past but also because of how talented young Ritter was.

So for him to notice the changes in Lothur's appearance and behavior had not been so difficult.

'I wonder what he has done? Maybe I should approach him later?' He pondered this as he thought about the event Lothur had invited him to join.

He then rose from his armchair and called his trusted secretary, leaving after putting on his coat.

"Let's see what he has to present us..."

...

Meanwhile, all of Lothur's guests were already moving to the local hippodrome, from the more important ones like Elke's father to the less relevant ones like Jacob's father, this young man from Lewerenz.

Due to the unusual movement of several influential individuals in the province, as well as the warning from the local hippodrome management, the Duke was aware of the Lothur event.

Because of this, he was standing next to his son and the commander of the local guard, talking about what that troublesome young man might be up to.

"This brat has gathered several people who are on the fence about the dispute over the imperial succession... Could he be trying to lead something against our faction?" The commander of the local guard questioned, feeling a bit worried.

The Duke's son, Martin, then said. "That must not be the case."

"Hmm, but it doesn't change the fact that this occasion is somewhat strange." The Duke felt it was disrespectful of Lothur not to invite him if it was not against him. "Is there any way you can send one of our people to this event? I want to know everything this brat intends by hosting an event for so many relevant cultivators in the province."

Hearing this from his leader, the guard commander said. "It's not impossible. The management of the hippodrome owes me some favors. So putting one of my men in the place as an official of that location shouldn't be that difficult."

"Oh?"

"Then just do it." The Duke said, as his eyes sparkled in interest. 'Depending on what he's planning, I'll use that as an excuse to take action against that bastard.'
