76 Chapter 71 : Masters zone (1/2)

” A side quest with an objective see by the system to enter the rankings of chosen twenty list. Isn't those twenty the strongest geniuses of this zone, who stands at the pinnacle of the strength in this masters zone. ”

Unlike other zones, where the experts are categorized into challengers and seats, the rankings of masters zone are not different to them.

The prodigies in the masters zone are broadly categorized into three. The chosen twenty standing at the very top of the zone. The rankers at the middle, that numbered exactly to hundred, and the rest of the participants that are being unranked and stay at the very bottom of this floor, yet they are numbered within four hundred, and are not to be underestimated.

Like I said earlier, Those in the top twenty are called chosen twenty, literally the next generation youngsters, that are to become the apex powers of this floor at later times, if nurtured properly.

These prodigies are commonly originated from the major forces of a first rate force it the least, who at later years have the chance to succeed their family's old monsters, and take hold of their positions after turning sixteen. The age when they would no longer be eligible to fight in block 1.

Farthur, Wilhelm's grand father, the category of supreme elders and patriarchs of major forces. All had passed through this stage when they were considered young.

These prodigies are all lord realm cultivators, presumably at high order or even at peak order of aura lord cultivation.

Few exceptions of early king class cultivators were found, but those were the prodigies of the golden generation.

The era, when every chosen prodigies were found to have entered the king class cultivation.

But that's a case of the past, presently there hadn't been a person who had even managed to enter king class cultivation after them, within this short period of fifteen years, their period of stay in the arena.

Since the battle between the chosen twenty are rarely seen, and once it took place the whole of the arena would be flooded with experts, to place their bids, the rankers became the main point of attraction for the daily bidders in the masters zone.

Statistically all rankers are found to be aura lord, with the exception of few prodigies whose powers rivals such one.

Technically speaking, the elders and in some rare cases the supreme elders of the major forces were tempered as this stage during their younger times.

Most commonly the younger generation of major forces along with successors of first-rate family and second rate family exert their dominance at this fort.

The unranked though are placed at the bottom, are not to be underestimated. Each of them had made a name for themselves before, it's just that they were tossed out from the rankers list by the stronger individuals.

Half of this unrankers are composed of lord class cultivators, that had been striving for the chance, to get back into their old seat of rankers.

All in all, the powerhouses on this floor, had all been once tempered, at this sacred place for talented prodigies, getting a place in this zone almost tempers a person to a perfect shape, so had been strived by many to enter this fort.

Comming back to present. Mark with his current strength, was capable enough to contend against cultivators of lord class, at middle order, or even stand on equal foothold against strong cultivators, at high order lord realm experts itself.

Since the experts in the master zone are all prodigies themselves, Mark could not guarantee that these experts would not be able cross level their cultivation, to fight against higher realm expert or may even be capable enough to defeat then at best. If yes, then these experts would fit sure pose a high threat to him to complete the current quest.

He was confident to make his way into the list of rankers, but not sure about defeating the strongest among them.

If defeating the top of the rankers was a question for him, nevertheless defeating the prodigies of chosen twenty, as quested by the system.

He was not entirely sure about the features of a relic, he just knew that it's a rare and powerful weapon, beyond the scope of a category called artifacts, and were also used by renounced figures of the past was known to him.

When the information of first seal was viewed by him, his curious mind had imagined the possibility for the existence of a second one, who knows if a third, fourth or fifth such seals awaited him.

What will necessarily happen, if a seal were to be unlocked? Would his relic become a stronger weapon, would it present him again with supernatural energies that made his levels jump abruptly, or would there be an addition of a special feature like that of a barrier which had protected him from the attacks of cole family's supreme elder.

After gathering sufficient information from the receptionist, mark and his co. made their way to the masters zone, which was centrally located in the block 1, surrounded by the other zones at its periphery.

Unlike the impression left on mark by novice zone, which looked quite barbaric for him. The masters zone was well organised with many personnel, and each challenger was given an equal chance at challenging the rankers, to enter the ranks of master.

At novice zone, where the participants were almost made up of peak aura masters at best, Mark was able to spot the presence of many peak stage aura grand masters present around him. Some of them had even entered the realms of an aura lord.

A brass colour circular plate, the size of a fist was hanging on their shoulder band, encrypted with numbers, which showed the number at which their turns to challenge a ranker was present.

Some were waiting on the luxuriant seats for their turns, while some others were spectating the scenes close to the stage and learning about the rankers they were about to challenge.

Statistically speaking, only one among the hundreds of challengers per day, may or may not be able to win a challenge, against the rankers, to push him into unranked category after occupying his seat.
