9 THRONES

CHAPTER 49: THE ORIGINAL SWORD 5 ELEMENTS

Looking at the victorious Vann, the figure in the cave was slightly shocked, the reason that made him the most surprised was that Vann used an incomplete 5 Element Sword technique to defeat his snake monster.

The suspicious figure was not angry at all against Vann who killed his snake monster, but rather he smiled excitedly "Finally met! I thought I would not find the right person to continue my abilities, I was wrong! Finally the person who could continue the technique belonging to the teacher and be changed again by me arrived!".

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

Vann who had just finished defeating the snake monster immediately cleaned up the blood that was all over his body, the blood completely filled Vann's body so he had to clean it first.

After cleaning for a while, Vann planned to retrieve some important objects from the snake's corpse before going to look for a pond to clean his body.

Each monster limb was generally important, edible monster meat was very useful for cultivators, the aura on the monster meat was able to make cultivators healthier.

In addition, there is an animal skin that is used to make armor, snake fangs have been used to make daggers or poison in their fangs to make poisonous drugs.

The most useful part was the monster crystals, although not all monsters had crystals on their bodies.

Different from cultivation crystals, monster crystals could not be directly absorbed. As long as a human dared to absorb it without any processing, there was a high chance that it would die from the monster energy on the crystal.

Therefore, monster crystals are not used to be absorbed but are used to make weapons that are famous as artifacts.

Almost all artifacts were made by the main material of monster crystals, but there were still some unique artifacts not made using monster crystals but other unique treasures.

When Vann was planning to find out if the snake monster in front of him had a monster core, he suddenly sensed that someone was nearby.

"Who is there?", cried Vann who drew his sword again, he gazed towards the cave and found a man covered in darkness standing there while observing himself.

The man was surprised when Vann learned of his whereabouts, but his surprised face was replaced with a smile again.

Without waiting for Vann, the man turned around and jumped further towards the dark cave behind the snake corpse.

Vann hesitated for a moment between whether to pick up the corpse of the snake or chase after the suspicious man just now.

After thinking for a while, Vann decided to follow the man moving towards the cave. Actually the reason Vann chose to follow the suspicious man in the cave was that he was curious why the man had just been able to be in the nest of the snake monster, actually what was behind this cave?

Then the biggest reason Myro followed him was that Myro could sense that the man had just learned the 5 Elements Sword Technique as well, maybe because Vann and the man had both used the 5 Element Sword Technique then they could detect each other's existence.

The problem was that Vann felt that the man's 5 Element Sword technique was much stronger than Vann's, so Vann decided to follow him to find out who exactly the identity of the man was and if Vann was lucky, he might have a chance to learn the new Elements 5 Sword Technique which was getting stronger.

At first Vann thought this cave was just a small cave, but as Vann got further and further away in the cave he realized he was making a big mistake, this cave is very large and there is a long road leading underground.

Vann did not see the end of the dark path underground in the cave at all, but he found the suspicious man continued to descend underground through this path which made Vann immediately follow him.

10 minutes, 20 minutes, Vann continued to walk underground but did not see the end in the slightest. Even Vann started to get a little suspicious, was this underground passage going all the way down to the core of the planet?

Finally, 30 minutes later, as Vann hesitated and thought about returning to the top of the cave, the long underground road ended.

Now in front of Vann's eyes, a large, very dark room was the last part of the cave's path.

Although the room where Vann was in was now very dark, moreover there was no lamp or any light source so that one could hardly see around. As a level 7 Qi Gathering, Vann was still able to observe a bit of the circumstances around him.

The room where Vann was in was now completely empty except for a stone table in the middle of the room.

Vann walked towards the stone table, after all there was nothing else here.

While in front of the stone table, Vann froze because he found the figure of a man sitting on the back seat of the stone table.

The sitting man was about 70 years old with long white hair and a muscular body, he looked very strong.

At first Vann thought the old man was asleep, but Vann realized that the old man was not sleeping at all but that he was dead.

Checking on the old man's clothes, Vann's face further changed as the old man in front of him wore the clothes of the Wood Sword Academy.

On the old man's clothes, there was a gold-colored token that showed he was the head of the Wood Sword Academy, at least in the past.

Hesitating, Vann felt this old man was a little similar to the suspicious figure he had seen just now after defeating the snake monster.

However Vann immediately shook his head, the old man in front of Vann should have died many years ago, how could he still see Vann defeating the snake monster a few minutes ago?

As Vann was confused whether to bring the corpse of the old man in front of him back to the academy or not, after all this old man was the head of the academy in the past so there was no harm in him being buried into the ground of the Wood Sword Academy.

Amidst the confusion, Vann realized the body was actually holding a book on the table.

Vann tries to retrieve the book and clean up the dust on top of the book, apparently this place has indeed been abandoned for years until the book in Vann's hands is dusty.

When the dust was cleared, the title of the book was finally seen again.

Reading the title of the book, Vann immediately muttered strangely "Steel Technique 5 Elements? Why was the previous head of the academy indeed a 5 Element Sword Technique book like a precious treasure? Though, there are many 5 Element Sword Technique books in the Wood Sword Academy!".

The puzzled Vann opened the 5 Elements Sword Technique book then started reading it.

Not long after, a smile appeared on Vann's face, the doubt he had before disappeared as Vann now understood why the previous head of the academy thought the 5 Elements Sword Book in his hand was so precious.

Based on some of what Vann had read, the 5 Element Sword Technique on this book was stronger than the one in the Wood Sword Academy.

Even Vann felt, the 5 Elements Sword Technique in this book is an original technique. As for the 5 Element Sword Technique that was in the academy, Vann was confident it was most likely just an incomplete technique.
