Chap 2.1

The moon shone brightly, and the sky was full of stars.

On the mountaintop, Tieu Viem lay on the grass, a blade of green grass in his mouth, nibbling lightly, letting the bitter taste fill his mouth at will...

Raising his white hand in front of his face, his gaze pierced through the gaps between his fingers, looking at the silver moon in the distant sky.

"Sigh..." Remembering the test in the afternoon, Tieu Viem sighed, reluctantly clasping his hands, holding his head, his eyes showing a hint of panic.

"Fifteen years..." A soft sound suddenly emerged from the teenager's mouth, without any warning.

In Tieu Viem's heart, there was a secret that only he knew: He was not from this world, or rather, Tieu Viem's soul did not belong to this world. He came from a place called Earth, but why he ended up here he couldn't explain. Living through a period of time, he realized: He had transmigrated!

(According to my understanding, "transmigrate" means crossing through dimensions.)

As his age increased, Tieu Viem gradually gained some vague understanding of this continent...

The continent was called the Martial Arts Continent, where there were no types of magic like in novels; martial arts were the sole master of the continent!

In this continent, martial arts cultivation, under the efforts of countless generations, had developed to its peak. Moreover, due to the continuous expansion of the scope of martial arts, it had eventually developed into the populace. This made martial arts and humanity even more familiar, thus the importance of martial arts in this continent was irreplaceable.

Through statistics, the Martial Arts Continent divided martial arts into twelve levels: Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, and Imperial!

And each level was further divided into three stages: low, intermediate, and high.

The cultivation level of martial arts, whether high or low, was the key to determining future achievements. For example, someone cultivating a mid-level Heavenly-grade martial art would naturally be stronger than someone of the same level cultivating a mid-level Imperial-grade martial art.

On the Martial Arts Continent, distinguishing strength and weakness was determined by three conditions.

First and foremost was one's own strength. If one's strength was only at the martial artist level, even with the supreme Heavenly-grade martial arts cultivation technique, they wouldn't be able to defeat a martial artist cultivating an Imperial-grade martial arts technique.

Next was martial arts techniques! Among martial artists of the same level, if one's martial arts technique was higher than the opponent's, they would have a significant advantage in combat.

The last type was called martial skills!

As the name implies, this was a unique skill that enhanced martial arts. Martial skills on the continent also had different levels, divided into the Heavenly, Earthly, Mysterious, and Imperial grades.

There were numerous martial skills on the Martial Arts Continent, and usually the ones passed down were Imperial-grade. To achieve higher-level martial skills, one had to join a sect or martial arts academy on the continent.

Of course, some people, due to fortuitous encounters or legacies left by predecessors, either had martial arts techniques or possessed martial skills matching their own abilities, making that martial skill, when combined with martial arts techniques, even more powerful.

Based on these three conditions, one could judge strength and weakness. Generally speaking, if one could obtain a higher-level martial arts technique, their future development would be self-evident...

However, advanced martial arts techniques were often difficult to find. The widely circulated martial arts techniques were mostly Imperial-grade, and only powerful or medium-sized clans had Heavenly-grade cultivation methods. For example, in Tieu Viem's clan, the highest-grade cultivation method was only accessible to the clan leader. The Furious Wrathful Fist was a kind of martial arts technique at the intermediate level of the Mysterious grade.

Beyond the Mysterious grade was the Earth grade, and this high-level cultivation method was only available to supernatural forces or great empires...

As for the Heavenly grade... it hadn't been seen for hundreds of years.

In theory, for an ordinary person to obtain a high-grade martial arts technique, it was basically as difficult as reaching the sky. However, with the expansion of the Martial Arts Continent, numerous unknown experts settled in to establish their livelihoods. In the northern part of the continent, there were powerful races known as the strong force, which could merge with spirit beasts. In the southern part of the continent, there were advanced beast tribes with intelligence, or dark and sinister demonic races...
