9 THRONES

CHAPTER 42: NEXT GOAL, QI GATHERING LEVEL 7

Faced with Vann's sudden attack, Tude did not panic at all and simply raised his fist and struck down at the table.

"Shelf!".

The sound of a loud punch was heard, the table made of iron was divided into 2 as a result of Tude's punch. Tude's hand hitting the table did not show any injuries, it showed how strong the attack was so that it was no problem destroying the iron though.

Before Vann could come to his senses, Tude's hand had already appeared and grabbed Vann "Son's neck, at first I was just thinking of breaking your legs to teach you not to be too arrogant just for successfully defeating a Stone Golem weaker than you, who would have thought you had the courage to attack your senior like this? It seems that I have to teach you a lot more, so you can understand how to respect seniors! Alright, I will break your arms and legs as a lesson! If it wasn't for us at the academy and not killing each other, you would have died".

Vann tries to break away from Tude's hand, but finds Tude's hand around his neck like an iron that can't move so Vann can't break away in the slightest.

As Tude held Vann's hand and planned to break it, a cold voice rang out from the cafeteria door "A 35-year-old senior like yourself against a child who has only joined the Wood Sword Academy for less than a year and is only 17, aren't you ashamed?".

Before Tude could turn around to see who was speaking, a strong pressure appeared throughout the cafeteria making it difficult for everyone there to breathe.

Tude and 4 members of his group immediately fell to their knees on the ground due to the pressure, Tude's hand on Vann's neck finally released.

"Teacher Hasel!", cried everyone in the cafeteria full of shock, after all the teacher should be in a different cafeteria than them.

Without caring about the difficulties of the people around due to his pressure, Hasel walked to the front of Tude "You are still a level 9 Qi Gathering even though he is 35 years old, you only have 5 more years before the academy stops teaching you. Therefore, anyone can see you have absolutely no chance of becoming an intermediate cultivator anymore. It even becomes a big question, are you able to reach Qi Fondation before the age of 40? It seems that the failure and ridicule of those around you drive you crazy and attack the new kid who is your own underclassman? How humiliating!".

"Being untalented is not embarrassing, but the shame is that they know they are not talented but they don't try to work hard, even they try to annoy a talented new child so as not to surpass themselves in the future. As a cultivator, don't you have any courage to compete against others fairly? Rather than fighting a new child who is still much weaker than yourself, why not try to fight against those with a level 9 Qi Gathering power like yourself?".

Vann immediately understood the intent of Hasel's words, it seemed like Tude had almost exhausted the age limit of being able to study in the Sword Academy before reaching intermediate level cultivators. The problem was that Tude was not yet far from a mid-level cultivator, anyone who saw him would know that Tude would fail.

Not only that, it was likely that Tude was also the oldest and weakest disciple among the other Qi Gathering level 9 disciples. Because it is always often ridiculed peers of the same strength, Tude can only fight those beginners who are still not on the level with him.

Moreover, Vann was recently very famous due to his victory in the monster arena against the New Golem, Tude who knew it must be envious and tried to injure Vann so that he could not be in the academy anymore.

Tude tried to say something to refute Hasel's words, but he found Hasel's pressure too intense to the point that he had trouble speaking.

Seeing Tude sitting quietly on the ground with no chance of resisting, Hasel shook his head coldly "This time is the last chance, as long as I find you still doing the stupid thing you are now, the punishment of being dismissed from the academy is still very light! I must've let you go to jail for decades so you could learn about the stupidity you've done".

Everyone in the cafeteria sighed while throwing away their worries. Although Tude's attitude against the new child is embarrassing, they are all afraid of Tude because of her power. After all Tude had already been in the Wood Sword Academy for over 20 years, those who had only joined for less than 5 years were still not Tude opponents despite their talent being greater than him.

Different from others who were feeling happy, Vann looked towards Tude leaving full of anger.

However Vann only felt defeated like this, not to mention he was defeated without a chance to fight in front of everyone in the cafeteria.

Vann clasped his fist as firmly as possible, he decided to reply to Tude's actions to him just now.

Vann believes the likes of Tude definitely follow the monthly match as well, therefore there will be a chance for Vann to reply in the monthly match.

If Tude who had been in the academy for 20 years lost to a new kid who was less than a year in the Wood Sword Academy, he would definitely feel ashamed. Not to mention the monthly matchgoers are great or famous people and the residents are quite rich in Talper Province, he said, if Tude loses to him then the name Tude must be a mockery throughout Talper Province.

When Vann was still angry, he recalled Torti's troubles.

Vann saw Torti still lying on the floor with the shattered parts of the table around him, there was a sign of a big blow on Torti's face from the Tude punch just now.

Vann rushed over to Torti and took him to the infirmary while thinking of how to increase his strength quickly.

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

Vann did not attend the afternoon class, other than because he could already make the Qi Medicine so Githa allowed Vann to leave the class, Vann had to figure out how to increase his strength as quickly as possible.

Although Tude was the weakest of his other comrades, at least he was still a level 9 Qi Gathering power that was very far from Vann at level 4.

To be able to win against the Tude, at least Vann had to increase his strength up to the Qi Gathering of level 7.

Vann made sure that the monthly match would start in 2 more days, how to increase Vann's strength from level 4 to Qi Gathering level 7 with less than 2 days? Vann felt a bit of a headache thinking about the plan he had to do as quickly as possible.
