Prologue: The World of Martial Arts
In a world far beyond the reach of modern civilization lies the realm known as the World of Martial Arts, a land steeped in ancient traditions, powerful martial arts, and mystical forces. This world, vastly different from the blue planet Earth, is governed by a strict hierarchy of power and skills, where strength, wisdom, and mastery of the martial arts determine one's place in society.
The Path of Cultivation
In the World of Martial Arts, one's strength is measured by the cultivation of Qi, the vital life force that flows through all living beings. The path of cultivation is long and arduous, requiring immense dedication, discipline, and natural talent. The levels of power are categorized as follows:
Qi Refining Realm
Qi Refining: The initial stage of cultivation, where practitioners focus on absorbing and refining Qi to strengthen their bodies and extend their lifespan. This stage is crucial for laying the foundation for future cultivation. Each year of Qi cultivated at this stage provides significant benefits, but the effectiveness of medicines and pills diminishes with each use.
Martial Artist (10 years of Qi)
Martial Artist: Practitioners who have refined Qi for ten years can reach the Martial Artist realm. They possess enhanced physical abilities and an increased lifespan of up to 120 years. A Martial Artist can lift several hundred kilograms and move as fast as a professional athlete. Cultivating Qi becomes progressively harder, with each additional year requiring twice the effort and resources.
Martial Master (20 years of Qi)
Martial Master: With twenty years of Qi cultivation, a Martial Master has superhuman strength, capable of lifting several tons and moving at speeds comparable to modern vehicles. Their lifespan extends to 150 years. Martial Masters can endure bullet impacts and perform advanced martial techniques. The difficulty of cultivation doubles with each year, making progress increasingly challenging.
Martial Grandmaster (50 years of Qi)
Martial Grandmaster: After fifty years of Qi cultivation, a Martial Grandmaster becomes a formidable warrior, capable of lifting thousands of tons and moving at speeds close to 1000 km/h. Their lifespan reaches 200 years. Martial Grandmasters can withstand missile impacts and perform extraordinary feats of martial prowess. The effort required for each year of cultivation increases exponentially, with each year becoming twice as hard as the previous one.
Martial King (70 years of Qi)
Martial King: Martial Kings are rare and revered. With seventy years of Qi cultivation, they can lift tens of thousands of tons and move at speeds exceeding the sound barrier. Their lifespan extends to 300 years. Martial Kings are known for their invincibility on the battlefield and their ability to execute devastating martial arts techniques. Each additional year of cultivation is twice as hard as the one before it, making it an arduous journey.
Martial Sovereign (80 years of Qi)
Martial Sovereign: With eighty years of Qi cultivation, Martial Sovereigns possess immense power, can move at incredible speeds, and have a lifespan of up to 500 years. Martial Sovereigns can manipulate the very elements and perform techniques that alter the landscape itself. The difficulty of cultivation continues to escalate dramatically, with each year requiring twice the effort of the previous one.
Martial Saint (90 years of Qi)
Martial Saint: Martial Saints, with ninety years of Qi cultivation, are near-mythical figures. They can live for a thousand years, possess unparalleled strength, and perform miraculous martial arts techniques that defy the laws of nature. Their power is said to be limitless, but reaching this level is exceedingly difficult, with each year of cultivation being twice as hard as the one before.
Martial Legend (100 years of Qi)
Martial Legend: The existence of Martial Legends is a topic of debate and mystery. With one hundred years of Qi cultivation, these individuals are said to possess god-like powers and immortality. No records confirm their existence, but their legend persists, inspiring generations of martial artists. The effort required to cultivate each additional year is nearly insurmountable, with each year being twice as hard as the one before it. The Professions In the World of Martial Arts, martial prowess is not the only path to greatness. Various professions complement and enhance the martial way, each requiring unique skills and knowledge:
Alchemist
Alchemists are masters of creating powerful elixirs, pills, and potions that enhance physical and spiritual abilities. They play a crucial role in aiding martial artists on their path to greater power. However, the effectiveness of these alchemical creations diminishes with repeated use.
Array Master
Array Masters specialize in creating and manipulating mystical arrays and formations. These arrays can protect, attack, or enhance the abilities of those within their influence. Their knowledge of ancient runes and symbols is unmatched.
Talisman Master
Talisman Masters craft magical talismans that provide various effects, such as protection, healing, or enhanced strength. These talismans are highly valued by martial artists and ordinary people alike, providing crucial advantages in critical moments.
Body Refiner
Body Refiners focus on enhancing the physical body to its utmost limits. Through rigorous training and specialized techniques, they can achieve incredible feats of strength, speed, and endurance. Their methods often involve intense physical conditioning and rare medicinal baths.
Demonic Fighter
Demonic Fighters harness dark and forbidden techniques, drawing power from demonic sources. They are often feared and shunned, but their strength is undeniable. Their path is fraught with danger and temptation, making it a double-edged sword.
Beast Tamer
Beast Tamers have the unique ability to communicate with and control powerful beasts. These beasts can be formidable allies in battle and serve various purposes in daily life. Taming and bonding with a beast requires deep understanding and respect for these majestic creatures. The Landscape and Society.
