[SWORD RANKING: SWORD MASTER]
[HEART CORE: ASHEN-ORIGIN: 3-STAR]
[MIDDLE CORE: ORIGIN ARTS CULTIVATION: 5TH STAR, GRAND AURA WARRIOR]
This was what his current progress looked like.
Sword Master in skills and Grand Aura Warrior in aura.
The master realm. One could say this was the first obstacle any martial artist faced. The lower realms were attained by training their bodies to their limits. The master realm, however, to reach it, one had to grasp will. Then the grand aura warrior rank lay in the master realm. One could say that to attain grand aura warrior, one had to reach the master realm, however, the reverse wasn’t possible.
Now, all this was just hard work, and the benefit was something else. The master realm contained most of the military power of any empire, church, kingdom, and organization. They would be accepted anywhere. In a village, the position of village chief wasn’t far off; in an empire, a commander position wasn’t far off; in an organization, a lower executive position wasn’t far-fetched. The measure of one’s talent often depended on how quickly they reached this realm, and for someone of Baines’s age, he could be considered a rare genius.
Basically, attaining this realm already set anyone in it for life. Yet, for many, this rank was their final limit. Many got drunk on their achievement and relaxed, eventually becoming weaker than average, while some hit their limits and lost themselves or gave up.
HOWEVER, for Baines, it wasn’t enough. He wasn’t just doing this for revenge; No, he wanted to attain a level where no one could even think of doing such.
’It’s not enough.’ Baines muttered as he clenched and unclenched his fist. The power he was feeling was immense to the point of making him relent and rest; however, his desire for revenge brought him back each time.
He moved his aura around him as he felt the new change.
