Chapter 99: Half a Year (1/2)
*pant* *pant*
Lin Xiao slipped down from the beasts' back and looked down with relief. Seeing that the boar was no longer breathing, he felt relieved that he was still alive. At the same time, he felt annoyed because he couldn't defeat it so easily.
Tep!
Wang Jun stood before Lin Xiao and looked at his work while nodding. ”You're the first to kill it.”
”Ah?”
”The others are also fighting the same beasts.”
Hearing that, Lin Xiao's face turned dark. He pointed to the beast behind him with annoyance. ”Can you teach me a bit more about the beasts' ranking?”
”It's ranked by number,” Wang Jun started. ”The weakest is rank 1, and the strongest is rank 9. The one you usually fight in the remote village is unranked or what you call as normal animals. As for the one that you occasionally fight are Beasts Rank 1, they usually have similar strength to Body Training Rank 6 to 7.”
Lin Xiao nodded. He had fought several beasts back in the past and Elder Wang always told him that if he couldn't defeat them, he would be a disgrace. Fortunately, he was usually able to one kill them without much difficulties.
”The one in front of you is beast rank 2, which is usually as strong as Body Training Rank 8 or 9,” Elder Wang replied. ”Some Beasts Rank 2 can even be stronger than Body Training Rank 10, but this one is fairly weaker.”
Hearing that, Lin Xiao shuddered. If he had to face a beast with the strength of Body Training Rank 10, wouldn't it be suicide for him?
”Beast Rank 3 is as strong as Foundation Establishment. Beast Rank 4 is as strong as Golden Core Stage 1, Beast Rank 5 is as strong as Golden Core Stage 2, and so on.” Wang Jun then looked at Lin Xiao. ”Also, Golden Core had 3 stages.”
Lin Xiao nodded. It was then he recalled the other rank. ”How about Half Golden Core Stage?”
”Half Golden Core meant that you don't even reach Golden Core Stage 1.” Wang Jun's showed a trace of disdain. Those who reached this stage was usually because they failed their breakthrough, thus they stuck in the half stage.
If they wished to breakthrough to the proper stage, they would need to expend more power and if they fail again, they would die. Because of this, those who had stuck in Half Golden Core Stage would not dare to attempt any more breakthrough unless it was necessary.
They had failed once and might not even succeed if they tried the second time.
Not everyone was willing to bet on their lives to make another breakthrough because in mace places, Half Golden Core Stage was already considered to be so powerful. They could even become the leader of a small sects, so it was good enough.
”Half Golden Core is not a formal rank?” Lin Xiao asked in astonishment.
Wang Jun nodded. ”It's the rank of those who failed to enter Golden Core Stage.”
”I see.”
”The stages are still very far for you, so you have to focus more on training. From now, I'm going to teach you new skills, so pick a weapon.”
”Weapon?” Lin Xiao's eyes lit up. He had been thinking about which weapon he wanted to have in the future. After all, the villagers only trained Mountain Punch for a long time without any chance to even hold a sword. He had always dreamed the time when he could finally wield weapon.
Wang Jun nodded. He had seen Lin Xiao's progress and at this point of time, Lin Xiao had already reached the peak of Mountain Punch for his current stage. Unless he made a breakthrough to Body Training Rank 9, his attack would not increase that much.
Since that was the case, he chose to start training Lin Xiao in weapon.
”Sword!” Lin Xiao replied with a grin.
”Alright.”
