9 THRONES

CHAPTER 4: THE SPIRIT

Vann had no idea to fight the Minotaur anymore. After all as a human without cultivation, he was not at all an opponent of monsters.

What makes Vann regret may be because he is too good, if he can act even colder and does not care about the lives of his 2 friends, Vann is now likely still alive.

"If I could have another life, it would be better if I could get my family and a lot of friends to care about me" said Vann, who closed his eyes and prepared to die.

But when Vann thought he was going to die, a woman's cold voice sounded "Are Minotaur monsters like you not ashamed to fight people without such power? If you feel like you're so good at it, why don't you try to fight me first?".

Suddenly this entire room turned cold, the Minotaur movement slashing towards Vann froze in the air.

Vann, who felt all the strangeness again opened his eyes, was curious about what was going on.

When he opened his eyes, Vann's red eyes glittered as if he saw something really awesome.

More precisely, Vann was now looking at a woman who had long black hair as well as dark black eyes.

Even though the woman's eyes were very dark, but everyone who looked at her carefully must have found that the woman's eyes glistened like a night filled with a sea of stars.

Vann had to admit that of all the women he saw, this woman was the most beautiful. Even Emperor Irula who was famous for her beauty as the Illusory Emperor still had to retreat before this female beauty, Vann really could not take his eyes off this female figure.

Based on his face and height, Vann believes this woman has the same age as it seems to be between 17 years. But Vann suddenly recalled that strong cultivators could set their faces to always remain young, unchanged by age. So even a 50-year-old strong cultivator, could still have a face like a 20-year-old young lady.

Therefore, it did not rule out the possibility that this woman in front of him was also an old woman disguised as a young woman.

Despite knowing that, Vann's opinion is still unchanged, this woman is still the most beautiful woman he has ever met regardless of her age.

"Who exactly are you?", cried the Minotaur who found her body completely immobile.

The Minotaur knew this woman in front of him was much stronger than him. Even the aura pressure from this woman made the Minotaur unable to move its body, so the Minotaur felt fear towards this power of the woman in front of him.

"You ask me who I am?" said the woman with a gentle smile that made Vann increasingly unable to distract her from the woman's beauty "A monster like you doesn't have enough power to know my identity, you can die now!".

Without waiting any longer, the woman waved her hand which made the entire Minotaur's body explode into a pool of blood.

With the sudden disappearance of the Minotaur figure, Vann who had just stabbed the Minotaur instantly fell to the ground.

Looking at the fallen Vann, the woman walked forward holding out her hand "Are you okay? I've seen it all from the beginning, you really have the courage to fight the Minotaur in order to protect your friends, even though you don't have any strength. I don't know if you're a brave man who doesn't fear death or just a fool".

Vann was a little embarrassed by this woman's words, he held the woman's hand and stood up.

The woman smiled wider as she found Vann's embarrassed face "No need to be ashamed, although most people think that your actions just now were very stupid, but I really appreciate it. If a person who has courage as well as kindness like you becomes a cultivator, I'm sure you can become a good cultivator protecting people".

Vann slightly nodded "Thank you for helping me! Without your help, I would have died here".

Maybe Vann had known this woman for less than an hour, but he knew she was a good person. Those with strength generally became arrogant, but this woman in front of him did not look arrogant and cared for people who did not have power, he said, this convinced Vann that this woman was a good man. Not to mention Vann did not find any lies from everything this woman had said just now.

Just as Vann was planning to ask his name, a powerful aura of pressure re-emerged in this room.

"I was thinking who could defeat my followers so easily, but it turned out to be just a little woman", a loud shout was again heard throughout this school.

Sensing the intense pressure, Vann and the woman looked towards the classroom window where the powerful aura was coming from. In the school grounds, there was a gigantic Minotaur figure that looked much stronger than the Minotaur that had been killed by this woman just now.

The minotaur that had just appeared this time was over 5 meters tall, it breathed fire from its nose.

In the Minotaur's hand, there was a huge hammer so heavy that the ground under the Minotaur's feet began to crack.

The Minotaur opened its mouth and shouted "I am the master of the Minotaur pillar leading the assault of this monster, can I tell the name of little miss? I think my power is more than enough to know your name, right?".

Vann immediately felt a cold aura from beside him. As Vann gazed to the side, he found the face of the woman beside him had already become ice-cold, very different from the friendly smile he had shown before to Vann.

Under the gaze of Vann and Minotaur in the field, the woman flew into the sky towards the Minotaur. He looked at the Minotaur who was the ruler of that pillar with no care "You think such a weak force could be my opponent? Let me tell you, you're no different than the ant in front of me".

"How can a little girl like you fly? Have you already passed the Transcendent stage at such a young age?" said the Minotaur in disbelief.

"Have I gone through Transcendent yet, why don't you try it yourself?" said the woman coldly.

On the other hand, Vann did not really understand about what they were talking about as he did not know anything about cultivation. However Vann had heard that not all cultivators could fly without the help of any weapon, those who could fly with their bare hands were only cultivators who had reached a certain stage as well as being quite strong. Apparently, the requirement for a cultivator to be able to fly without any assistance was to have to reach the Transcendent stage, just like the Minotaur had said just now.

After the woman finished speaking, the figure of 2 1 meter tall wolves appeared on her left and right sides.

The wolf on the right side has white fur and a sun symbol on its head, while the wolf on the left side has black fur and a crescent moon on the head.

Vann had already heard about cultivators having spirits that helped them fight, but he had never seen the spirits in person.

Every cultivator, more precisely the ones who were cultivating had their own spirit. Different from monsters, spirits are very loyal to their masters and will die when their masters die.

Spirits can also only appear when their master calls, therefore spirits are the best fighting companions of cultivators.

There are many kinds of spirits that exist, according to the information that Vann had heard, spirits are divided into several levels according to the talents of their respective masters. The greater a person's talent, the stronger the spirit he can summon.

Based on what Vann knew, spirits were divided from the weak to the strong namely normal, rare, extremely rare, legends, myths, natural disasters, half-saints, and holy-level spirits that were the strongest spirits.

these 2 wolves that the lady called out were definitely spirits, but Vann could not figure out the level of those 2 wolf spirits.

The woman did not care what Vann was thinking right now, she simply raised her index finger towards the Minotaur in the middle of the field "Kill that monster, show us our difference in strength with it!".
