9 THRONES

CHAPTER 57: BOXING IRON

When Vann climbed onto the arena stage, Tude was already standing on the other side of the stage while looking at Vann with a cold smile.

It seemed he could already imagine how Vann would end up in his hands. Although it should not kill each other, but in the middle of the fight often occur some problems such as broken bones. After all the cultivators fought each other so it was inevitable that some people would get heavy injuries, therefore as long as he made some Vann bones broken then he would not be punished.

Githa who was the mediator looked left and right before smiling bitterly, why did the 2 students who were both from the Wood Sword Academy have to meet at the beginning.

After all no matter who won this match, it meant that 1 disciple of the Wood Sword Academy lost. So no matter who the winner was, the Wood Sword Academy must have suffered a loss as a result of losing 1 participant.

Breathing out, Githa again shouted "The match is starting!".

Be it Vann or Tude did not attack each other after Githa's words just now, they stared at each other for a while before taking their respective weapons.

Looking at Tude's weapon, Vann was surprised "You used an iron fist? Are you really from the Wood Sword Academy? I think you chose the academy wrong".

Hearing Vann's mocking words, Tude didn't care "You'll soon realize how stupid you are to mock my weapon! After all the founder of the Wood Sword Academy was a fool! No matter how hard one thought, wood would not be stronger than iron, but why would he still use a wooden sword? If not for no other academy accepting me, I would definitely not have gone to this weak academy".

Everyone from the Wood Sword Academy was angry and embarrassed by Tude's words, however Tude came from the Wood Sword Academy but he mocked the academy itself weakly which made them ashamed.

A disciple stood full of anger "Tude, aren't you ashamed? As a disciple of the Wood Sword Academy, you mock the academy that has given you the resources and knowledge to train you?".

"What's? I'm just talking the truth" Tude said no matter "Which fool thinks wood is capable of defeating iron, I guess the founder of the Wood Sword Academy didn't even graduate elementary school. Yeah, I don't care! For me the academy is only a temporary residence, as long as it makes me stronger then I don't mind".

Vann stared coldly at Tude as he inherited the ability from Herith, the founder of the Wood Sword Academy. Although Herith did not teach Vann directly, Vann inherited his knowledge which made Vann respect Herith as a senior. But Tude here mocked the senior who taught him the 5 Element Sword technique, Vann became furious.

Vann raised his sword while saying "Open your eyes and take a good look! Today, I will show you how a wood can defeat iron!".

"Stupid thought" said Tude who stepped forward.

The figure of the Tude is very fast, it can survive from the Illusory Forest which shows the Tude has some ability.

Suddenly Tude appeared in front of Vann and directly hit him wearing an iron fist, according to him Vann who was only a level 4 Qi Gathering power was absolutely not his opponent, his strength, he did not know that Vann's strength had increased much during this time.

"But!".

Vann slashed his wooden sword which collided with the Tude's iron fist.

Sensing Vann's strength, Tude said full of shock and disbelief "You-How could you possibly succeed in becoming a level 8 Qi Gathering? That's absolutely impossible!".

"That's all possible" said Vann who moved his sword down "Isn't the evidence in front of your own eyes?".

"Shelf!".

Before Tude was able to notice it, Vann's wooden sword hit Tude's stomach hard and threw him a few meters away.

Tude who was embarrassed by being hit by Vann who was a new child immediately rushed again full of anger, he shouted "Don't be arrogant just because your strength increases quickly, in the end you are still not my opponent!".

"But!".

Some of the spectators who were busy talking about Yun Tian were instantly attracted due to Vann's fight against Tude, after all Vann only an 8th level Qi Gathering could fight a tier 9.

"Who's the kid that fought the Tude? I've never seen him!".

"No you've never met him, the boy is less than 4 months old at the Wood Sword Academy".

"really? 4 Months had already become an 8th level Qi Gathering? This kid is so talented!".

"Vann is talented, but his cultivation under Tude, I don't know why Tude hasn't defeated this new kid? Hasn't he been studying at the academy for decades? Why fight a new kid who has not been a 1-year-old cultivator even if he cannot defeat him?".

The face of Tude who was fighting against Vann became red from embarrassment and anger, all the spectators in the arena were talking about and mocking her who needed a long time against the new child.

"Shelf!".

Vann repulsed Tude with his sword which caused Tude to jump again tens of meters away, a mocking smile re-appearing on Vann's face "Did you not hear the words of the spectators around? You're even having trouble fighting a new kid, I don't know if you're still not ashamed of being in Talper Province after the news of your predicament today spread?".

"You-I'll kill you!", cried Tude full of anger.

He rushed towards Vann as fast as he could, then he jumped while hitting with all his might towards Vann "Mountain Destruction Fist!".

A strong pressure emerged from the Tude fist, even the spectators instantly became silent because the pressure from the Tude fist was too strong.

Githa as a mediator said grimly "This child, he is fighting the new child using his full strength, is he trying to kill the new child? I have to stop it-".

Before Githa could act, Vann took the move first.

He is not afraid of the Tude boxing. Not only that, Vann jumped towards the Tude who was ready to punch him.

"Steel Technique 5 Element stage 1, Water Wave", the water gathered around Vann forming a giant wave between his swords.

Vann raised the sword covered in waves of water then collided with the Tude iron fist.

"Booooom!".

A loud explosion was heard due to the collision, the arena around began to shake due to the collision of the 2 forces.

At first Tude thought he was able to defeat Vann's sword technique, but Tude suddenly felt his fists begin to be knocked back.

Although a little incredulous his fist was losing to the new kid's water sword, Tude had to accept this reality.

Tude's eyes turned red, he couldn't lose because as long as he lost to the new boy, the entire Talper Province must have mocked him.

The victorious Tude immediately took a medicine from his pocket and ate it without anyone seeing it, more precisely the water from Vann's sword and Tude's fist punch covered Tude's movements that ate the medicine from the spectators.

Vann who blocked Tude's attack certainly saw the movement, Vann's eyes became sharp because eating drugs that can strengthen themselves in the middle of the game violates existing regulations.
