Stronghold of Monsters

"Forget about crossing rank 5, you may not even reach it. "

"Many people can become a rank 4 martial artist with the help of energy potions, but they can't overtake it because everything changes after that stage."

" For one to become a rank 5 , he or she must fuse the blood cells with the cosmic energy."

"You already know that a rank 4 martial artist has a lifeline of 200 years ,but a rank 5 has 300 years. Why do you think that just a single stage made a difference of 100 years?"

"Many of you here were able to kill a rank 3 monster when you were just at rank 2, right? "

"Maybe you can kill a rank 4 monster at your current stage, but I can say for sure that you won't be able to leapfrog at rank 4 . Do you know why?"

" The reason is that our blood transforms after the fusion of blood cells and the cosmic energy.. Because of this transformation, our body can hold more energy and exert more power . "

" I don't mean to demoralise you by saying this that if I were to pick the top ten students of this year and let them fight against a rank 5 monster when they are at rank 4 peak, they will be killed within few seconds."

" So , if you want to refine your body after the fourth time, you will need to have that much energy in your body."

" Of course, body refining will become easy if you can easily breakthrough again and again , but the cultivation gets harder and harder in the later stages."

"That's the end of the lecture today. You can ask any question if you have."

Instructor Chen ended his long speech and waited to clear any student's doubts.

"F**k!, I lost my spirit after his lecture. "

"Yeah, dude, me too. I am feeling belittled right now. Why did he say that only 100 of us can reach rank 5?"

"Yeah, we didn't even reply that body refining was a simple thing for us. He just wanted to show us how insignificant we are."

.

.

"Sir, was there no one who killed a rank 5 monster at rank 4?"

One student stood up and asked .

...

Everyone stopped chatting around and moved their attention to Instructor Chen after hearing this question.

"Your name is Michael, right? You have got a good spirit. "

Instructor Chen praised Michael.

"I didn't say that there was no one capable of doing it. There were indeed some characters, but not more than 20."

"All clear now?"

"Class dismissed."

Instructor Chen left after no one stood.

"Hey, Bai Feng, don't you think that Ye Tian is more outrageous than those 20?"

" You took my words. But I have a feeling that he is more evil than them. He could've f**ked them up and they wouldn't even know."

"Be happy, Bai Feng. We are lucky to have him as our friend , if we were his enemies.... "

"F**k! I am getting nightmares just imagining it. Let's go. I don't want to come in his sight for some days."

Bai Feng walked out of the class with Hang Dong. They didn't want to meet Ye Tian as they weren't recovered from their trauma yet.

Ye Tian exited the class through the door he came in and opened his system panel on his way out.

"There is a new section showing body refining, huh...."

"Why is there a question mark? "

"Hey, system, shouldn't there be 9 as I already know how many times body can be refined?"

Ye Tian asked with an uncertain look.

"Host, nine times is not the limit of a human body. You will experience it in the future yourself."

The system replied.

"If it's not 9 times, then why didn't anyone refine more than that? I am the same as them. How can I do more?"

"Host, if anyone can't do it, it doesn't mean that you can't too. You are with a system. "

"Oh, I always forget that. What do I do now?Should I go hunt some monsters?"

"Forget it. I will attend some lectures, then prepare to go outside."

Ye Tian walked in the direction of his villa as he didn't have anything to do.

Next day, Canteen Area .

"Which class should I attend today?"

Ye Tian checked his watch to see which class he should attend today. He was not in a hurry as he woke up early.

"There is no message about today's topic . "

"Let's go to Beta Class today. "

He already attended Meta Class yesterday, so he decided to do the opposite .

As usual, he went through the back door and waited for the lecture to start.

"Hello, students. You should already know my name. So ,without further ado, let's start today's class."

Instructor Jones came on the stage and began his lecture.

"The topic we will be covering today is about the levels of strongholds of monsters."

"Stronghold is just a term used for defining a definite area which can be in desert, forest, ocean etc. "

"These strongholds are not like the wilderness areas of your cities. The Dragon City defends against almost 90 percent of the total strongholds ."

"All monsters do not live here together. Many strongholds are occupied by a single species."

" Like a stronghold is totally in control of Canidae or dog family. In this stronghold, you can find many monsters of Canidae like dogs, foxes, jackals, wolves, coyotes etc."

" Likewise, many strongholds also have different species of monsters ."

" These strongholds are divided into four levels. They are Warrior Level, General Level, King Level and Emperor Level."

" A Warrior Level stronghold has monsters ranging from Rank 1 to Rank 3. A General Level stronghold has monsters from Rank 1 to Rank 6."

"A King Level stronghold has Rank 8 monsters at its peak and the Emperor Level stronghold is in control of Rank 9 monsters."
