9 THRONES

CHAPTER 51: MONSTERS

Vann who slept a little late last night had to wake up early, however Vann had not managed to defeat the monster since yesterday.

Whereas yesterday Vann planned to directly collect as many tokens as possible from the monsters he killed, but who thought Vann did not defeat any monsters but instead obtained the original 5 Element Sword Technique.

Therefore, he had to collect tokens from monsters now because tonight was the last time of the match.

Anyone who managed to earn the most tokens in the top 100 positions, they could proceed to the next match whereas those who were below 100th rank, they would be considered a failure.

Vann cannot miss this annual match as those in the top 10 will be awarded a combined prize of the 4 great powers of Talper Province, although monthly matches will start every month, but as long as Vann wins faster then it means that the increase in his strength is also getting stronger.

Without any hesitation, Vann leaped towards the trees in the forest and began to search for monsters to fight.

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

"Githa, do you mean that I should not move towards the Huta of Souls?", asked Hasel to Githa who stood in front of him with the other 2 organizers.

Actually Hasel from the beginning moved silently towards the Soul Forest, but who thought Githa had sharp hearing and vision to be able to recognize Hasel's movements.

Hearing Hasel's words, Githa replied fearlessly "Unless you carry the permission of the academy's head or the heads of the other 3 great powers, I won't allow you to interfere with the monthly match!".

"Are you guys crazy? You guys didn't do anything after seeing hundreds of disciples die in the forest? Don't forget, they're all human beings like us! In the Soul Forest, there are some strange monsters that even we cannot fight against recklessly or we will lose our lives, how could the Qi Gathering disciples defeat those monsters? They represent the future of the cultivator world to fight demons, if those young talents die here then what happens in the future? Your actions this time around, the Human Protector Alliance will definitely not let you go! Most likely, they will inflict heavy punishment on you", cried Hasel angrily, however the throne holders and the emperor made a very firm rule that cultivators should not kill each other.

That rule caused many academies to not dare to give such a heavy test to their students, let alone up to hundreds of dead people.

Except against monsters, cultivators almost never died haphazardly like other humans killed or the tests the academy gave.

2 The committee behind Githa became doubtful as a result of Hasel's words, after all they felt that the actions taken on this test were wrong.

But Githa who was at the very front position still shook her head "I don't care, all the blame is in the hands of the head of the academy if the Human Protector Alliance blames this test. As for us as the committee, we are only taking action as the academy chief said. Don't forget, as the academy's teacher then we should have listened to the task that the academy's head gave us".

"You-" Hasel always felt Githa's attitude was very strange.

Although Githa always looked friendly to everyone, Hasel felt otherwise. Every time he talks to Githa, he doesn't feel like talking to a human but rather he is talking to a robot because Githa can be very cold and indifferent to the lives of hundreds of people, inversely proportional to the friendly attitude that he often shows teaching time.

Breathing out, Hasel was ready to draw his sword and fight Githa along with the other 2 organizers in order to be able to pave the way to the Soul Forest.

Githa certainly saw Hasel's movements so that he was ready to fight as well, while the other 2 organizers were still hesitant to side with whom.

But before the 2 people fought each other, a man's voice sounded beside them "What did you guys just talk about, can you tell me again?".

Hasel, Githa and the 2 organizers were shocked because they were completely unaware from when this man approached them.

Githa looked at the newly arrived man with great caution before asking "Who are you?".

"You are asking about me?", said the man taking off his hat, there was a smile on his handsome face that attracted the attention of many women "I am the Golden Fire Emperor, the Emperor under the 1st throne holder. I am here to represent the Human Protector Alliance against suspicion to the head of the Wood Sword Academy, therefore I hope that you will tell me everything that happened once again without any lies. As long as you dare to lie, don't blame me for bringing you back to the Human Protector Alliance!".

"What's? The Human Protector Alliance sent the Emperor directly?", everyone in the place was shocked, after all, the Emperor figure was only under the throne so they should not go to check on the matter in a low-level academy like this.

"There have been some problems recently, Ark who is the holder of the 9th pillar along with his shadow monster is secretly disguised as a human. You all definitely know shadow monsters have the ability to change shape as humans, lately we found there are shadow monsters disguised as important people in academies or sect cultivators", he said", the Golden Fire Emperor said "Although we don't know the Ark's purpose yet, but we must be careful of the movements of the 9th pillar holder, the head of your Wood Sword Academy is also suspected to be a shadow monster belonging to the Ark".

"So tell me again what your head of the Wood Sword Academy is doing on the monthly test of Talper Province, it seems that he dared to sacrifice the lives of hundreds of human disciples that look like monster acts!".

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

"Dash!".

Vann had just slashed at the wind eagle monster whose Qi Gathering power was level 7 just like him.

After defeating the eagle monster, he took 7 tokens that were on the eagle's body.

During these few hours, Vann collected about 50 tokens which is quite a lot.

Qi Gathering level 1 has 1 token and level 9 has 9 tokens, the stronger the monsters are resisted then the number of tokens obtained will be more and more.

Ensuring that the wind eagle he defeated had no monster crystals, Vann prepared to leave here.

When Vann was just about to leave, a loud shout sounded not far from Vann "Help me! Somebody, help me!".

Vann was immediately intrigued by the voice, not because Vann planned to help her but rather that the voice belonged to Tude's colleague.

Previously 2 of Tude's colleagues were found by Vann as well, but they had become corpses. Apparently, there were still some of them who managed to survive this illusion of the Soul Forest.
