9 THRONES

CHAPTER 74: TAKING ON THE TASK

The next morning, Vann wakes up before sunrise and begins practicing his sword in the courtyard of the house.

At the home of normal students, Vann has difficulty practicing because there is no yard around that makes Vann training also very limited.

But now as an elite disciple, he got a house that had a courtyard so that Vann's training was not interrupted.

After training for 1 hour, Vann lowered his wooden sword and returned home.

Vann discovered Lifure had prepared to carry a bag that had a lot of Medicinal Qi, which he had prepared to carry, as long as Kyuro's ability can be used then Vann can provide enough ingredients to make Qi Medicine to Lifure by taking it in classes where there is a failed Qi Medicine ingredient.

Lifure spoke briefly to Vann before giving away the 50 low-level cultivation crystals that were the store's advantage yesterday, then he left excitedly.

Seeing Lifure happy with his new job, Vann was also happy. However, he considers Lifure like his partner, so if Lifure feels happy with his job, Vann also feels better.

Vann did not waste time either although he did not have to go to class anymore, Vann cleared himself of sweat after training before leaving the house while wearing his red elite disciple clothes.

Along the way of the elite disciple settlement, Vann met very few other disciples. Different from normal settlements, during mornings like this, Vann would find many disciples along the way.

It seemed that there were not many elite disciples causing few people along the way.

Vann was wandering around the elite student settlement to find various unique buildings as Laken previously said that were libraries, medicine buildings, weapons buildings, and various other buildings. Although the places are very interesting, but it requires points to come and practice there which makes Vann only able to pass through it now.

After a short walk, Vann finally got to his destination of task building.

The task building was a white-colored stone building with a few disciples visible around, however the task building was an important location for elite disciples who needed points in order to be able to practice or buy weapons belonging to the academy.

Vann opened the wooden door of the task building and immediately heard the noise of the elite disciples talking to each other.

Currently Vann found dozens of elite students in the task building, they were busy talking with their colleagues or seeing a board that had a lot of paper stuck there. It was likely that the wooden board with many papers in front of it was the location where the elite disciples took their duties, whereas the papers were writing about the tasks they had to take as well as the rewards.

In addition to the task board and several tables and chairs that the disciples gathered at, there was a long white-haired old man as well as a white beard sitting on a chair at the reception desk. Every time the disciples finished taking on the task on the board, they would go to the old man and give it to him for approval.

Vann walks to the task board to see if there are any tasks that can be taken by him now, however Vann has just come here which means he desperately needs points.

Looking at the task board, Vann understood that most tasks were divided based on their strength.

On the left was the Qi Fondation task board, followed by the Gold Core and Soul Wandering on the right.

The task paper on Qi Fondation is the most while the task on the Soul Wandering section, there are only 2 there that show how little work for Soul Wandering. After all, Soul Wandering level monsters should not be much in this Talper Province, except in the central province where there were countless top-tier cultivators.

Some tasks against monsters require students to go to the pillars of Talper Province or the surrounding provinces, the problem is that the task provides conditions to make a group of at least 5 people or more.

More precisely very few people went to the pillar alone, unless that person was strong enough that he was confident of being able to survive on the pillar against the monsters without having to bring anyone else.

But the academy had to reduce the risk of killing their elite disciples, after all every elite disciple was considered a precious treasure for the academy that would bring the name of the academy to shine in the future.

Therefore, elite disciples should not go to the pillar alone so that the possibility of death would also be small.

Other than fighting monsters, there were actually also some small tasks like searching for medicinal herbs that did not require going to the pillar.

The problem is that medicinal plants are difficult to find and are only valued at 1 point on this board, even though to find 1 medicinal plant it takes a day that is too long. If Vann can only collect 1 point a day, it is not known how long it takes Vann for the points to be many.

When Vann was confused as to how to collect points as quickly as possible, a voice immediately caught his attention "Aren't you the water dragon? What was? Do you have trouble taking on assignments because it requires making a group? Then how about coming with us? Coincidentally we also lack 1 member, are you interested?".

Vann gazed towards the figure who called out to him just now, that figure was none other than Laken.

He smiled kindly to Vann with 3 other colleagues behind, they were indeed lacking 1 member again because each group must at least consist of 5 elite students.

Although Vann desperately needed points, Vann would not be so foolish as to accept Laken's invitation without knowing their target.

For that reason, Vann asked "Senior Laken, before I accept your invitation, do you mind telling me the task you took?".

"No problem! However before creating the group, all the members should know its purpose" said Laken smiling "We all have the power of Qi Fondation with my strength being the strongest which is tier 5, said Laken, we plan to kill the fire lizard in the Magma Pillar".

"Fire lizard?" said Vann interested.

He had previously seen the task on the board as well, fire lizards had strength between Qi Fondation level 2 to 5, there should be no problem for them since there was Laken here.

Based on what Vann knew, the fire lizard monster was able to fire a fire that was no less hot than magma through its mouth.

Mature fire lizards could also reach as high as 5 meters, their scales were like armor that was not easily destroyed.

Although it sounds difficult, the reward is also great.

Each time it managed to defeat 1 adult fire lizard, then they were rewarded with 5 Fondation Medicines which meant each member could take 1.

"I agree!", said Vann after thinking about all the forces in the Laken group, they had a great chance of winning.
