Mixed Blessing System

‘That human is really impressive! No wonder the boss spoke on his behalf with the other elders!’ A 3-meters tall toad thought to itself as it watched Lothur fighting those two creatures.

It, as well as five other 2nd stage beasts that had arrived at the entrance of that place in the middle of the fighting, had stopped to observe the situation without getting involved.

They knew that Lothur did not have that much attack power to hurt them and that their job was to make life difficult for this human. But they were all standing still, just watching the fight go on since it would not look good for them to get involved in this fight.

Not only would this be an unnecessary move since two level 16 beasts were already facing Lothur, but it would also be disrespectful to those Transcendent Beasts.

Beasts had great pride, and after those two had already allied themselves against Lothur, they would not accept the help of those 2nd stage beings.

And it really would not help. Lothur was faster than all these individuals. Thus, the most significant risk would be that the fight would become more difficult for the two in case these weaker beasts took up more of the space they had to fight.

That way, the six creatures of different species stood at points at the entrance to that chamber, watching the fight unfold.

This battle was not the bloody kind that would make spectators shiver and watch the fighters destroy each other. Lothur was not gaining easily recognizable injuries, and those beasts were just tiring themselves out with their movements. But still, this was a beautiful battle to watch because of the movements of each party involved in it.

The lizard and the yellow crocodile were level 16 beasts, stronger than these observers. Because of this, their movements by themselves were enough to inspire these lower-level beasts.

But Lothur also showed impressive refinement in his movements, which were becoming better and more efficient as the fight continued.

“Is it just me, or is the human getting stronger as he fights?” A level 14 colored snake asked the others while noticing that Lothur’s blows seemed to be getting calmer.

A brown-haired monkey continued to watch Lothur dodging his opponent’s attacks and counterattacking. It said. “It’s not just your impression. I’m noticing that too.”

“Yes, his strokes are getting better.” A bear agreed. “They are getting faster when he moves. They are hitting more precise points more efficiently when he attacks. At the same time, every time he defends against an attack, the angle of his joints and the timing of his defense is getting better.”

“It is as if he is refining his skills, the same way we polish a rough piece of diamond into a beautiful jewel.” A winged, lizard-like creature with only two legs and black leather said this as its eyes shone.

And indeed, Lothur was polishing his skills, slowly raising the quality of his movements as he fought these beasts.

‘I seem to be raising the comprehension of my techniques…’ Lothur realized this as he sweated, feeling pain in his muscles from the occasional blows he received from the opponents.

Swooish!

He dodged the claws of the yellow crocodile’s front right paw while using the Elemental Staff to brace himself against the ground and change his movement.

Pow!

Lothur spun in the air and hit the top of the giant lizard’s head with his feet, causing the creature to feel his movement a bit and duck.

Lothur did not stay still in that position and jumped backward, doing a 360-degree spin in the air until he hit the ground.

As he did so, he suddenly felt the urge to make a certain movement and grabbed his staff with both hands before throwing it at the yellow crocodile.

‘Uh? What is he doing?’ The crocodile saw that piece of wood that looked like a stick of a broom coming at its body and did not deflect, knowing that it could not hurt it.

Meanwhile, the giant lizard saw this strange movement of Lothur and jumped toward this human, feeling it was an opportunity to attack without giving him a chance to defend himself.

After minutes of fighting, these beasts had become tired, even more than Lothur, and were beginning to feel more pain from his movements. So, upon finding this person without that item that could hurt it, this creature attacked him decisively in an attempt to end the conflict.

Unlike the yellow crocodile that had fought Lothur earlier, this lizard had no idea that young Ritter could use laser vision. So it thought that in this situation, its opponent was actually defenseless in front of it!

‘That’s for the previous kick, human!’ It thought, slashing with its claws toward Lothur’s chest.

When he saw this, Lothur narrowed his eyes and moved one of his hands as if calling out something.

After his gesture, the Elemental Staff suddenly shook in the air. Then, before it even hit the yellow crocodile, it slowed down its speed until it stopped midair and returned to the way it had come from.

‘What?’ That yellow beast exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

Vuup!

But the lizard saw nothing of this, and when it least expected it, the staff hit it in its weak spot!

When this happened, the creature about to hit Lothur expressed pain in its head and grunted, having that part of its body hit by a surprise blow.

It then fell from its jump, losing range of its opponent. At the same time, its muscles contract in a way to bring it into a defensive position regarding that lower part of its body.

‘Damn it!’

‘How did this happen?’ It wondered amidst its lamentations.

Meanwhile, the Elemental Staff that had just struck that beast flew up again, heading toward one of Lothur’s hands.

‘Oh? Now I can do that?’ This silver-haired young man wondered as he felt one of his new abilities, something he had just gained due to a mastery breakthrough!

After tens of minutes fighting those two beasts, he had finally achieved the necessary understanding of his techniques to advance his mastery over them.

They were only techniques of the lowest possible quality. Hence, even as a low-level cultivator, Lothur had achieved such a thing with his talent that surpassed the 100-point mark!

With this, he soon saw the system showing him each of his advances and the increase in his gains from physical training.

The results of training depended on how well he trained, so as he improved his movements, his results also improved!
