Chapter 43 - 43: Are Master-levels that rare?
After sampling the high-quality tea, which was even slightly better than what he could drink in his own clan, Chen, feeling much more comfortable, thanks to the tea, began to explain.
"Yes, regarding the noble clans, they are just below the Xiao clan and are characterized by having Master-level members among their ranks, along with a great heritage and resources, which gives them a voice and vote in faction decisions. These include the Rong clan, the Yuan clan, the Hua clan, the Long clan, the Xin clan, and the He clan."
"So few? Are Master-levels that rare?"
Somewhat intrigued, Erik asked after biting into a cookie, to which Chen nodded with an ironic smile. After all, this was common knowledge, and considering how absurdly good Erik was in classes, Chen couldn't understand how he didn't know this.
"Quite rare. Noble clans barely have one or two active Master-levels among their ranks, and the Xiao family has the most, with four."
"How many Master-levels are there in the entire galaxy?" Erik asked, a bit surprised. Chen responded somewhat uncertainly.
"It's not exactly known, as many are not active and remain in seclusion, but there are known to be just over 100 active Master-levels across the galaxy."
"I'm luckier than I thought, then," Erik couldn't help but comment in a strange tone under his breath, something Chen seemed not to notice as he quickly replied.
"You have no idea how much. Master Eldurdóttir is on a different level from the other Master-levels. Although she may not be the most powerful, she is undoubtedly the most talented, and along with Master Silverwood, they are the most likely to ascend to the legendary level."
"Because they're young?" Erik asked curiously. Chen nodded, satisfied, before replying.
"Exactly. Do you know what the youngest record for reaching the Master level was before Master Silverwood?"
