Chapter 114: Journey through Nagan Mountain.
As in any strength system, the Level System has bottlenecks. These thresholds signify substantial increases in power, abilities, and understanding and represent critical points in a cultivation journey. For both the Warrior Path and the Magi Path, the first threshold presents itself at Level 6.
Up to Level 5, Warriors and Mages remain in what is known as the Mortal Tier. In this tier, while they are capable of extraordinary abilities unless they possess extremely powerful bloodlines or Gifts, they are still considered normal life forms, limited by the constraints of mortality and capable of limited destructive power.
However, at Level 6, a new world of power and abilities opened up as they ascended to the Champion Tier. Not only do their bodies’ internal structures and constitutions improve greatly, but they also gain access to advanced techniques or abilities that surpass the basic skills learned in earlier levels. Those with great talent learn to harness their energy pool in a much more refined way.
A Champion could kill dozens of average Mortals without a problem unless those people had extraordinary abilities and a good battle plan, as seen in the Silent Wind Military Base fight.
The second threshold is at Level 11, where one could be considered a High Champion. At this stage, a Warrior or Mage begins to master integrating their abilities into more complex and powerful forms. Here, warriors and mages begin to explore specialization paths that align with their talents and goals.
Even if the creature at the mountain’s peak did not have unique abilities or talent, as a High Champion, its power would still match that of Arasbus or maybe even higher. Although Vlad was more powerful now, he knew very well that the only reason he managed to kill the Abyssal was due to the demon’s deep wounds and exhaustion.
’If there is a Lightning Core, it will definitely be at the zenith of the mountain, and I doubt whatever creature lies there will just let me get it,’ Vlad couldn’t help but sigh as he realized the complications of his plan. However, there was no room for retreat as he needed that core to improve his force’s power to a proper kingdom.
Vlad turned his eyes toward the two Vikings, and the power of the A.I. Chip flooded their bodies before giving him a detailed analysis.
