9 THRONES

CHAPTER 91: MEETING EVERYONE AGAIN

Hasel did not stay any longer, telling Vann that he had other business before rushing off to his house.

Vann also did not stop Hasel because he knew that Hasel must be busy, however they knew the Monster Laboratory that had disappeared might try to return and destroy the 4 great powers in Talper Province.

Therefore, Hasel had to make some preparations as well as inform the higher-ups of the other 3 great powers.

Vann also walked towards his house, now that he was at the base of the mountain of the Wood Sword Academy, Vann had to climb up through the stairs to get to his house.

Vann could actually use the wings of the Vermilion Bird to fly towards his house which could reduce Vann's travel time, but as he said earlier, wearing Vermilion's wings was too eye-catching.

For all the reasons just now, Vann decided to walk.

Along the way, Vann found some normal disciples from the Wood Sword Academy.

But when they found Vann, the faces of all the disciples were the same: they were shocked like they were seeing a ghost.

Even some people were holding their eyes while thinking their eyes were wrong, Vann did not care about all the actions of these people.

When he reached the settlement of normal disciples, Vann happened to meet Yun Tian and Torti who were gathered in front of Vann's house first with a sad face.

They look at Vann's house while talking which makes them not aware of Vann's arrival, it seems that Torti is telling Vann's past in the house.

"What are you talking about?", asked Vann.

The faces of Torti and Yun Tian froze, they stared at Vann who was in front of them in disbelief.

"Vann, aren't you dead?", asked Torti strangely.

Vann rolled his eyes at Torti's question "If I die, who is standing in front of you now? Is ghost?".

Yun Tian was only surprised for a moment before smiling, he said confidently "Don't I already say Torti? The person who managed to defeat Yun Tian would definitely not die that easily. Not to mention Vann is a friend I admit, the little Magma Pillar will not kill him!".

Torti nodded "You're right, I was very surprised to hear of Vann's death from the academy's side. At first I couldn't believe it, but it turns out that the elite disciple Yazer went with you was the one who reported your death. So, I was very surprised and thought it was real".

They spoke for a short while longer before Vann realized something "Yun Tian, did you manage to ascend to Qi Fondation level 1?".

Seeing Vann realize his change, Yun Tian laughed proudly "Didn't I already say that I will chase after you? Now that we have the same power, in the next monthly match, we can compete again! Wait, why can't I feel your power, Vann? Is there a problem with your cultivation?".

"Problem?", asked Vann smiling as he knew why Yun Tian was unable to feel his cultivation that Vann strength was far above him "No problem, no problem, in the state of life and death on the Magma Pillar, I happened to find some very useful treasures!".

Suddenly a powerful burst of energy appeared around Vann, more precisely he used his cultivation energy to show his development to Torti and Yun Tian.

Sensing the terrifying power of Vann, Yun Tian and Torti opened their eyes wide, they did not believe in the power Vann possessed.

Torti was completely unaware of Vann's exact strength as he had yet to reach Qi Fondation, but from the terrifying strength around his body, Torti was certain that Vann was now stronger than Yun Tian.

On the other hand, Yun Tian felt the power of Vann very clearly which made him shout "Qi Fondation level 5! Though just a few days ago, you became a level 1 Qi Fondation! Vann, are you a monster? Is your talent real? How could a talent be worth 1 as great as this!".

Vann withdrew his energy again before saying "I was just a little lucky to find some treasures and managed to increase my cultivation! All right, I gotta get back to my house now. Yun Tian, it seems that we haven't been able to compete on balance this month, unless you manage to reach Qi Fondation level 5 as well".

When Vann was about to leave, Yun Tian turned around and shouted excitedly "Vann, I will definitely chase after you again! If you manage to reach Qi Fondation level 5, then all I have to do is reach the same level as you too! I will definitely not give up!".

Looking at the stubborn Yun Tian, Vann was not angry at all but smiled "Then I will wait for you, as will you, Torti!".

After that Vann went to his house, he was happy towards Yun Tian who did not give up easily.

After all Vann was also such a person, even though people considered him as a talentless disciple, he did not give up in the slightest which made him manage to reach his level now.

Yun Tian wasted no more time, he told Torti and went to practice again.

Earlier Yun Tian thought his strength was the same as Vann again, who thought Vann was far ahead of him.

Because of this, Yun Tian planned to train hard again until he reached the same level as Vann, there was a fire of determination in his eyes.

Staring at Vann and Yun Tian who were leaving, Torti was a little speechless "You guys are so great, not so easy to give up and always eager to develop. At least Yun Tian was indeed talented, but in the end just relying on talent was simply not enough to make a cultivator become strong, Yun Tian's hard work had a huge effect. While Vann on the other hand was the reason Yun Tian kept working harder, I envy your spirit. Compared to you, I'm a-just".

Torti raised his head looking at the sky with a bitter smile, no one knew what he was thinking.

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

Vann arrives at his house to find Lifure busy counting low-level cultivation crystals stacked on the table, he sees little Vann coming "Master, you're finally back".

After speaking for a while, Lifure was busy counting low-level cultivation crystals again.

"Lifure, aren't you worried about me disappearing and being presumed dead? It seems like you keep counting the money without being affected in the slightest" Vann said puzzled as to whether Lifure is indeed this cold.

"I don't have to worry because from the beginning I knew master was still alive" Lifure said unconcernedly.

"Where do you know?", asked Vann curiously.

"Did you forget?", said Lifure showing the emblem of the slave contract he had in his hand "As long as the contract between us is in effect, I find out whether master lives or dies. In any case if master dies, as a slave, I will also die".
