9 THRONES

CHAPTER 41: 4 GREAT POWERS

Seeing that Master Githa had yet to come to the classroom, Vann could not help but ask again "Torti, tell me more about the 3 powers that can compete with our Wood Sword Academy".

"You became a disciple of the Wood Sword Academy without knowing any information" said Torti who rolled his eyes, he had absolutely no idea that Vann had been received all of a sudden by the academy which made Vann unable to find any information regarding this place "As you know, as you know, we cultivators are gathered in a continent called the Cultivator Continent. Cultivators should not go to the continent of normal people except during holidays or perform tasks such as attacking pillars, therefore every government in the world has a high-level cultivator in charge of watching over us so as not to come to their country".

"The closer a power is to the center of the Cultivator Continent, the stronger the power or academy will be. We Wood Sword Academy is located far away in the west of the continent, it proves how weak the strength of the Wood Sword Academy is in the eyes of those cultivators. The Wood Sword Academy was on the westernmost side of the continent that was the Talper Province, there were thousands of provinces on the continent but the Talper Province was in the order around the bottom of the weakest province on the Cultivator Continent".

"The Wood Sword Academy along with the other 3 great powers became the best power in the Talper Continent, although this continent was the weakest continent, those who could be in the position of the continent's strongest power would definitely not be easy. The other 3 powers are the Fire Animal Academy, Mask Sect, and the Yun Family".

"The Wood Sword Academy along with the other 2 powers were similar to a school, they recruited talented students then trained them. But the Yun Family was different, they were all family members of Yun Getian who were middle-level cultivators as well as not inferior to the academy. Not only that, it seemed like the children in the Yun family and his brother or sister had inherited the prowess of Yun Getian, even though they were no stronger than their patriarchs but they were not at all weak. At least the entire force in the Yun Family can compete against our Wood Sword Sect".

Vann was really surprised to learn the information, he could understand if a sect or academy became the strongest force, he said, yet Vann never thought a large family could be a power that did not lose to an academy or a sect though.

Torti who found a surprised face Vann shook his head "There are many powerful families in the Cultivator Continent, there are even Emperors who formed their own families into the strongest top 100 powers in the Cultivator Continent. Therefore, it was not strange that the Yun Family could become the 4th strongest power in the Talper Province".

Before Van and Torti could talk any more, Githa came to the classroom while carrying many books.

Githa did not discuss Vann's victory in the arena at all, he immediately explained about the monthly match that would arrive soon and encouraged the students in the class to win the match. After all if there were many disciples in his class who won, as a teacher then he would be considered successful in teaching perhaps even getting a reward.

Therefore, Githa started the class lesson this morning regarding how to fight and whatnot.

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

At lunchtime, Vann encountered a lot of problems when he was walking to the cafeteria with Torti, Vann found a lot of people talking while looking at him.

Sensing everyone around talking about him, Vann sighed and felt being too famous was very troublesome.

According to some of the talks Vann heard from the surrounding disciples, he learned that they were talking about him and the monthly Talper Province match.

They were wondering Vann who was a new disciple but could defeat the powerful Stone Golem, would Vann be able to obtain a high ranking in this monthly match?

As Vann sat down at the dinner table and prepared to finish his meal, his bigger problem arrived.

A group of men between the ages of 30 and 35 came to the dining room, when these people arrived then the previously noisy dining room immediately became silent.

When his eyes fell towards Vann and Torti, he became extremely cold and rushed towards them.

Torti's face changed slightly when he found these people looking for them because he knew the identity of the 5 people.

Before Vann could say anything, the man who was the leader of the group patted the table where Vann had eaten loudly.

"Son, I have business with a young man named Vann. If you're not interested in getting into our trouble, I suggest you get out of here right now. As long as you stay here, I will consider you as his friend, you know for yourself what will happen when you get into trouble with us right?", the leader told Torti.

Torti hesitates for a while between whether to leave Vann so that he won't get into trouble or stay here and help Vann.

Thinking for a moment, Torti could only grit his teeth trying to persuade "Senior Tude, why must it be so rude? I think there's a little misunderstanding between you and my friend Vann, why not try to talk about it?".

Vann was a little surprised, who thought Torti had the courage to support Vann.

From the response of the people in the cafeteria, Vann knew that Tude and his group must be strong enough to be feared by the Qi Gathering disciples in the canteen.

Therefore, Vann initially thought Torti was most likely to escape leaving Vann in order not to get in trouble with Tude. Who would have thought Torti was still so brave and loyal to his friend, Vann might have had to reassess Torti.

"Is it like that?", said Tude smiling kindly "If you're stubborn to support her, I've given you a warning right? So don't blame me for being rude to you too because I already consider you to be his friend".

"Shelf!".

The sound of a loud punch was heard, before Vann could notice it then Torti's body had already been thrown 5 meters away and hit the table next to them very hard. Even the table was instantly destroyed, Torti was actually hit by Tude until it flew off.

What surprised Vann the most was that he could not see the movements of this person named Tude, which meant that the power of the Tude was far above Vann.

Looking at Torti lying on the ground, Tude said coldly "Other times you shouldn't be too involved in other people's problems, son!".

Although he knew his opponent was very strong, Vann was not the one who would give up due to fear.

Without any hesitation, Vann lifted the table where he was eating now and threw it towards the Tude who was on the side.
