9 THRONES

CHAPTER 118: THE HORGE CHALLENGE

Before Tardi's new rules arrived, Vann's cultivation had indeed continued to expand but was quite slow. But since Tardi led the academy, Vann's strength continues to grow every day.

Were it not for the new rules, Vann might not have managed to reach the Gold Core stage like now but instead still be at Qi Fondation.

Therefore, although Vann felt the rules made Tardi too chaotic academy, but Vann also felt the rules were very profitable.

Today Vann obtained many medicines from the enemies he fought, although most of the medicines were not something useful for the improvement of Vann's current cultivation.

Then he received a silver spear which was a fairly rare intermediate grade 2 artifact in the Wood Sword Academy, at least not many academy disciples possessed artifacts of this height. But Vann is not a spear user, he may not be suitable to use the silver spear he has obtained.

In addition, there were 2 Gold Medicines that he had managed to receive as a victory reward.

Without wasting any more time, Vann sat in the living room and ate the Gold Medicine he had while Kyuro was left to sleep on the chair beside Vann.

Kyuro has been asleep for several hours since he ate the golden arrow that almost killed Vann, he probably ate too much to the point that it took him even more sleep.

After all he ate a high rank 2 artifact, a treasure that was quite rare for disciples in the Wood Sword Academy.

Actually Vann still felt a little worried about his murder this afternoon, but Vann also knew that there was no point in continuing to worry.

No matter how much Vann worried, the best way to increase his chances of life was to increase his strength. The stronger Vann then he would not have to worry anymore towards the people who tried to kill him, therefore Vann stopped worrying and focused his attention on increasing strength.

The Gold Medicine that Vann ate turned into a huge energy stream and immediately rushed towards his cultivation core, Vann continued to cultivate as well as strengthen his cultivation core before preparing to increase the strength he had.

...----------------...

The next morning, the powerful energy in Vann's house slowly began to dissipate.

Vann opened his eyes and sensed the strength present in his body before smiling, he actually managed to become a tier 2 Gold Core.

With the strength of the moment, Vann has the confidence to win even if he fights Horge.

As Vann was planning to stand up, he felt that there was something above his head that made Vann unable to help but move his hand and catch something that was in his head.

"Kye!".

Seeing that the figure above Vann's head was Kyuro, Vann slightly smiled "Kyuro, thanks for your help yesterday! If you don't move in time, I might die".

"Kyu!", Kyuro looks happy when Vann gives him the award, he jumps up and down in Vann's hand showing how happy he is.

Vann plans to let Kyuro return first as he prepares to leave, although Vann has defeated all of Horge's followers, but he may be able to find others who are trying to challenge him.

But the newly standing Vann discovers something strange on Kyuro "Wait, is your body enlarged?".

Vann just realized it looks like Kyuro is getting bigger. Although Kyuro's size change is too small for Vann to notice, as Kyuro's master, Vann is still aware of the difference.

"Kyu?", Kyuro simply replied to Vann in confusion, he might not understand what Vann was saying.

Shaking his head, Vann said "Are you eating too much that makes your body size increase? I don't think it's a problem, but you don't look bothered either".

Vann lets Kyuro return to his spirit form, then he gets ready and changes his uniform into the elite disciple uniform of the Wood Sword Academy.

When he opened the door, Vann was surprised because there were so many people around his house.

These people immediately looked towards the newly-appeared Vann before shouting "The end of Vann comes, the final fight will be decided!".

"Do you think so? In my opinion, Horge came here not to fight Vann but to stop their fight, Horge only realized how frightening Vann's power was, he might regret having challenged Vann".

"You're right, however Vann is too strong. Although he might not necessarily defeat Horge, but in the future, Vann would definitely become the strongest person in the Wood Sword Academy. Rather than being hostile with such a person, it was better to be friends with him, I think Horge came here to make peace. If he was planning to fight with Vann, wouldn't he have to wait another month as he said in the beginning?".

Vann who was confused about what really happened here began to realize a little when he found Horge among the crowd.

It seems that the reason everyone was gathered here was because Horge had suddenly come to Vann's house.

Everyone knows Horge and Vann are hostile, they're going to fight another month.

But not yet a month, Horge decided to come to the house Vann which made many people confused, what exactly is the purpose of Horge.

Horge stepped forward towards Vann while smiling confidently "Vann, it seems that you are quite strong now. At first I planned to fight you for another month because you were so weak and not my opponent, but now it's different. You are strong enough to be able to compete against me! Therefore, instead of having to waste time waiting a month later, why don't we finish our fight today? But if you're scared and plan to keep waiting a month later, I don't mind as long as you don't run away".

Vann secretly smiled, it turned out that was the purpose of Horge coming here, he was afraid to give Vann more time to develop.

Not to mention Horge's last sentence was said to make Vann unable to resist. When Vann refused, some might think of him as timid as Horge said. After all everyone agreed with Horge's words, his strength was now on par with Horge's.

Although people mocked Horge who decided to challenge Vann today not a month later, but on the other hand they considered what Horge said was not wrong.

Seeing Horge's confident smile as if Vann had been in his trap without a chance to refuse, Vann mocked Horge's stupidity for still assuming he could defeat Vann.

Horge did not know at all, the power of Vann who was now able to defeat him.
