Mixed Blessing System

Upon receiving his spatial ring and the congratulations of the match referees, Lothur immediately ignored the envious looks of his previous opponents to focus on the ring in his hands.

After receiving his prize, he immediately began investigating what was there, hoping for valuable things since this was the magnificent Province Conference.

Only noble families participated in this competition, and the winners of each profession were usually people at the 2nd stage, 2-star beginners. So the prizes should be important for people of that strength range, which would make them suitable for Lothur, who had not gone that far yet.

'A set of books with unique formations... 100,000 silver coins... A set of Bronze-grade flags and materials... Ingredients for some Bronze-grade formations... And a discount coupon.' He checked each item there and smiled.

There were no extraordinary items in that ring that could change a person's life from water to wine in a short time. But every part of the prize was relevant, and if he made an effort to use it well, he could reap great rewards in the future.

But while Lothur was paying attention to this, the main referee of this competition said to them. "Those are the prizes you get for being in the top three. But each competitor who wins their disputes for professions will be able to collect one more item later."

"One more item? And why not now?" Lothur questioned.

That man laughed and said. "It is a pill that can enhance your senses. However, since it can affect the performance of candidates still with matches to do, we don't give them until the end of the tournament."

'So that's it...' Lothur understood, but he did not think it was terrible. He did not even expect there would be more, so this was already a benefit to him, and it would not make much difference if he received such a thing later.

He did not count on a prize capable of improving his attributes for later matches, so his plans were the same as before.

'But this is excellent news... I'll be able to improve my mental attributes later?' He smiled as he descended the stairs of the combat platform.

...

After a while, the competitions progressed on that platform until Lothur again rose to contest, this time as a poison master.

He had much more refined skills in this profession than formations masters. So Lothur was very confident and was not bothered to see that his first opponent was a level 11 woman!

He was already up against one of the strongest competitors in this competition for poison masters!

Seeing this from her seat in one of the VIP rooms in this coliseum, Elisabeth watched Lothur with narrowed eyes, surprised at how good he was at formations.

There had been rumors about his performance circulating in Peters City for the past few days. But hearing a rumor and seeing the thing were different things.

Besides, for her, who already knew how good Lothur was in the poison art, it was hard to accept that he could be so good in other areas.

So, seeing her pupil on that platform, this purple-haired woman could not help but get reflective as she watched Lothur.

Rebecca was on her side, watching her junior with apprehension, as she would have difficulty facing that person.

'If Lothur beats her, won't that mean he can already be considered stronger than me?' She wondered, as she was a little nervous.

Lothur was advancing too fast, and she had already lost her senior position in a matter of days. In this situation, she had no choice but to feel in a hurry and want to become stronger.

"Mistress, who do you think will win?" She asked, seeing that Lothur was already contesting against a white-haired young woman on that platform.

Elisabeth put her thoughts aside and turned her attention to Lothur's match. "He's going to win. His poison resistance is very impressive. So even if he can't significantly poison his opponent, he will have the advantage."

And as expected, when Lothur and his opponent faced each other using their respective poisons, the results followed such a prediction.

Lothur's opponent suffered as if she had a headache, nothing serious, but enough to weaken someone temporarily. At the same time, he felt terrible when he was hit, but after a minute, he was relatively well.

As the purpose of poisons, in general, was not to harm temporarily but to neutralize opponents, he was presented as the winner of the match!

After this result was called out, people again shouted to the heavens at the injustice of such a thing, complaining that his super-regeneration ability was a cheat.

But no referee tried to punish Lothur for this. The world was not fair, and people were naturally born with distinct characteristics, advantageous positions, etc.

Members of small families had to compete with members of large families, even considering their differences in investment capacity. So how could anyone be punished for special abilities?

The others could only blame their bad luck or lack of strength for not being able to beat someone with Lothur's advantages!

That was the cultivation world!

Thus, Lothur beat his first opponent of the poison master matches, not taking long to beat the second and third as well.

His ability to withstand poisons was not simple, so with each round, his opponents found it more challenging to poison Lothur.

But what could they do? His skill made him stronger and stronger concerning poisons with each round he competed. But his opponents were not getting stronger.

Under those circumstances, the result was clear!

[Bronze-grade poison resistance.]

[Progress: 33%]

Lothur saw his progress bar improve a little more after he sat down to wait for his next match, feeling that he would soon win more prizes.

Lothur's last opponent in the poison master matches was a young man at level 11, not unlike his other opponents. So he was pretty confident as he chatted with his women, each with smiles on their faces.

But since poison masters' battles were relatively faster than others, it did not take long for him to climb the combat platform again, this time in the final!

As he did so along with his opponent, Lothur saw the look of defeat on the face of the green-haired young man on the other side of that platform.

Almost all the others who faced him were confident of their victories until they were defeated. But in this competition of poison masters, no one came close enough to threaten his dominance.

Because of this, that young man could not help but climb that platform with an ugly look, sure of his imminent defeat.

"Let's get this over with as quickly as possible." He said, preparing himself to suffer a bit from Lothur's poison.

Lothur was not being nice to anyone. He might be one of the weakest offensively. Still, he was trying to damage as much of his opponents' conditions as possible.

The reason for this? The individual and team battles that would take place later!

So that person already knew that his opponent would play dirty with him, and he just wanted to end it all quickly.

In this way, soon the result of this competition was announced!
