"There are seven known classes for martial practitioners with each class having five stages each the First Class is known as the body building class this is the first foundation for any future practitioner no matter the background, talent or elemental affinity the second class is the core forming class the foundation for true practitioners of the ways of heaven the third class is the core sync class where the core truly becomes part of the body making energy manipulation away from the body possible the fourth class is soul foundation class this is class where intent can also be used as a weapon where thought can kill the fifth class is the soul building class these experts are among the top of the kingdom and are able to use their minds to force attacks beyond their bodies a rare class is experts the sixth and almost nonexistent in our kingdom is the soul aura class where one becomes a true soul warrior and is capable of destroying cities after that is the legendary ascension class who can only be found at the center of the continent but. Apart from warriors there are other paths as the array masters,alchemists and forgers all of whom also use energies from the seven elements in different ways to meet their own needs but all these paths require the foundation of a warrior expert first before any thing else can be cultivated...."

Xan Caren stood at the extreme of the line of the Caren clan's younger generation listening with no interest not just because he could not cultivate but because he knew more about cultivation and the natural energies than the heavy set Clan teacher.

Although without a single trace of natural energy in his body, Thirteen year old Xan was the most refined individual present in the Caren family main training yard .

He had read everything the whole Maligan Empire had about almost every subject from cultivation to alchemy to forging ,arrays,art,geography and politics. Reading was the only thing that kept him sane in the sect amongst cultivators as he always had to hide from every other clan member if the same generation most of the time to avoid bullying which the clan usually turned a blind eye to. The mockery and beating was always in his head a kind of format that slowly made him hate the clan he was especially after discovering that the family genius' spirit root was actually his. All that torment from the very first talent test at age three had built his mentality and very ordinary body to very terrifying extremes. The boy was always the target in every clan ceremony and the Clan's dark secret in a world where every one could manipulate natural energy to an extent.

Xan's main goal in life was to at least find a way to give him an imitation of the kind of power very one had if not the power in itself

in his mind, he would make sure all the people who have hurt him he could still remember the way some elders In the clan took and killed his pet frin (a kind of squirrel like magic beast) he had been raising for three years because some girl in the sect needed the core of a Snow White frin for an unnecessary pill to practice pill refining. For him, the sect only ever took from him and shamed him but gave nothing to him. He had to work as hard if not harder than his mates for less rewards coupled with all the bullying throughout his life, Xan had lived the hardest life possible amongst family giving his clear eyes a defiant look and he knew more suffering was planned for him in the next day's Caren Clan initiation ceremony but he had a plan to pass the last test of the day.
