Hours passed, and more people were eliminated in the tests for spiritual professionals in this edition of the Province Conference.
This time, Annaliese could no longer do well in her matches and was eliminated in the spiritual cook and sculptor tests.
But nobody was surprised by this since she had been one of the few cultivators at the 1st stage to get this far in this competition.
In any case, her family was more than satisfied with her performance, which secured essential points for House Frost's current position.
Meanwhile, Viktoria and Lothur had more challenging matches in their support professions. Still, they once again managed to advance, this time to the finals!
Because of this, the Frost family had managed to move up one more position, passing the Baier family, who had tried to stop them from competing earlier.
[8th. Frost family: 57]
In addition to these results, Lothur had taken care of each of his women in the intervals of their matches and trained with Rebecca and Viktoria. In addition, he still found time to study his professions and also medicine.
His resistance to poisons had already advanced since the first day of the trials, reaching the 20% margin in the Bronze grade.
But amidst all this, Annaliese managed to advance to level 9, an outstanding achievement for their group that still had to fight later!

Lothur watched his status as he waited for the moment of his and his women's group match, once again seeing the advantages of having a good Constitution.
But he was not too focused on that at the moment.
After the night before, Lothur had collected many resources from his opponents, earning a small fortune.
Due to looting the spatial rings of the people killed the night before, he had collected more than 2.8 million bronze coins, reaching the 4 million mark in his spatial ring.
At the same time, he had obtained Bronze-grade armor, some weapons, and an ax he could use with his combat technique.
There were also in such rings some blacksmith items and clothing used by warriors. Lothur was already planning to sell those things at the Morning Star Academy to collect coins and merit points.
'I think with that number of coins I will have in the next few days, I will be able to buy a decent house...' He imagined this as he thought about his wallet.
Living in a hotel was not interesting for him since, besides liking his privacy, he had many enemies. In that case, it was better to have somewhere easier to protect and where he could make changes.
Since a well-located house in Peters City could cost upwards of 100 thousand silver coins or 1 million bronze coins, he felt comfortable making this investment now.
Lothur then said to Viktoria and Annaliese. "We will look at some houses in this city next week. I want to buy the place we will live."
"Oh?" Viktoria opened her mouth in surprise upon hearing her husband's words, not expecting that he would make that decision so quickly.
"I'll help you!" Annaliese smiled. "One of my friends is part of a family that specializes in local construction. Her family has great houses in the northern area of the city."
"Northern area?" Viktoria looked at Annaliese. "Don't you think that place will be expensive for Lothur?"
Lothur then said. "Don't worry. Our enemies have given us plenty of resources, hehe. Besides, I will soon have new sources of income from my business, so it will be good to invest in a definite place for us."
Annaliese nodded. "Besides, only in the northern area are houses big enough for Lothur's needs..."
"What are you talking about?" Viktoria questioned her sister.
"Lothur will have some women in the future, so it is not natural for us to find a place big enough for our... Your family, right?" Annaliese asked.
Viktoria was not happy to hear that, but it was true that there would be someone else besides her... 'I was forgetting about that redhead.' She closed her eyes and imagined that having a big house would not be bad.
With a big place, at least everyone could have their own space, and she would not have to see and hear what she did not want...
"All right. I'll come with you." She said after a while.
"Let's call Elke too," Lothur commented to the two, thinking it would be perfect if the three could give their opinions about such a place.
While they were talking about it, their names were called by the referee of the next group match, and they once again took the central platform!

When they stood face to face with their opponents, a group from the Duke's family, those people looked at them cautiously but with arrogant expressions.
"Viktoria, your group has gone very far. But I fear that this is the end for you." A woman, the leader of that team, shouted, confident of her team's victory.
They had four people against Lothur's group of three. But, at the same time, the weakest of them was at level 10, while they had three people at level 11. So the advantage was in their favor, and that woman felt that she could be the one to defeat that team.
Viktoria saw that woman from the Waldauer family and said nothing. The battles for them were getting harder and harder, even with the improvements each of them was experiencing. So she did not doubt that her group would not make it to the last battles in the finals.
However, she thought they could win one more match today!
"We'll see!" She said to the opposing group, Lothur and Annaliese backing her up.
With that, when the match referee gave the signal, both teams ran against each other, each side trying their hardest from the start to win this battle that would be the most difficult of the day.
The opposing group had a significant advantage against Lothur's team. Still, this young man was getting increasingly skilled in his techniques, and his body skill was the highest among all fighting there.
Hell, even Viktoria was already below him when it came to Constitution!
Therefore, his defense, speed, and ability to perform his mental talents were all in great shape. They all helped him to expose the best of every technique he knew.
That was not enough for him to overwhelm his opponents. However, it was enough for him to act against some of them, protect Annaliese, and still give Viktoria room to defeat those people!
Thus, their battle would unfold for minutes, with both sides sweating and even pouring blood on that fighting platform to define the winner.
In the end, the team with two representatives standing beat the one that had been left with only one person able to continue fighting when the time came to an end!
