" 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.
Mark went to the reception on the masters zone, there were few high class beauty's that were no way inferior to the one present at novice zone.
Two among those beauties were even close enough to rival azel by their facial features, falling behind by her by a slight margin.
As soon as the receptionist spotted mark, who was standing near the reception, with a old registration form held within his hands, that could act as the proof of his identity to be mark, they greeted him immediately in a respectable tone.
" We welcome young master mark to the masters zone. Our junior sister in the novice zone had notified us of your arrival. " They paused for a second, taking out a circular silver coloured token from the drawers which was encrypted with the number six.
They handed it over to mark and exclaimed " Young master mark, let this elder sister be frank about this.
Like the brass coloured token, which is handed out to the challengers, who became eligible to achieve them on their own fort.
Silver coloured tokens are made for special cases. For the geniuses of lower zones that could not be measured using normal means.
They could skip the arduous work of raising their ranks one at a time, before they finally turn eligible enough to challenge a prodigy at rankers list, this process may at some times take years to finish.
So, even after taking account of your talent, the arena have not yet found you to be eligible to receive this privilege. Since you were being unjust by the external influence in the novice zone.
The upper management had decided on giving out this opportunity to young master, as a compensation to justify their fault at management.
Young master should go to platform number seven, the place where the test for silver token holders will take place shortly. "
Without a moment delay when the receptionist finished exclaiming about the diver colour token, he heard a exclamation made by mark, which had almost made her pop a vein in her forehead. " So... as long as I defeat a weakling from the rankers list, I would naturally be able to enter the ranks of master in this zone... right? " Mark said with a smile, before moving for platform number seven that was located at the middle part of the zone.
" Conceited! Extremely conceited! Does he think that the prodigies on the master zone are similar to the weaklings he dealt before, like those in the novice zone?
Well he had thoroughly offended cole family, even bought attention of two other major forces in him! Well arguing with a dead man is a waste of time for us.
Just let him be, when he get his a** beaten by the prodigies of the rankers would be know the immense of heaven, the difference between them to him is comparable to that of heaven to earth. " Cursing at mark internally, the receptionists nodded their heads confirming him that, as long as he defeat a ranker from the masters zone he would become eligible to enter that rankers list.
They had no confidence in mark, for entering the masters list. For them, he appeared to be a rich young master, from major force, that employed few tricks behind his sleeves to beat the weaklings in the novice zone.
Would the tricks employed on the grand masters of novice zone be capable enough to make lord class prodigies of masters zone fall for them.
Though they are not entirely wrong to begin with, a lord realm is entirely different comparable to that of grand masters. If underestimated, it could very well turn deadly for that grand master.
Since they could not spot the presence of a soul weapon on mark, the one which is automatically formed when a person transcends his realm to enter lord class from grand master.
They had this determined him to be a grand master, since being a king class cultivators themselves, unless their target were to be emperor class they could fail to perceive his real cultivation.
But had they knew that, mark could jump through the realms and defeat cultivators at higher realms, and if he could use his acquired bloodline powers he could very well defeat cultivators at high order cultivation, no they are naturally ignorant of these facts.
If we go briefly about the masters zone, there are far less number of platforms or even the fighting rings for the prodigies to compare their skills against others.
Unlike the novice zone, the platforms are made up of lecite alloys in the masters zone. It was an alloy that is extremely resistant to damage caused through mana, it's production is a trade secret know only to the head smith of the arena, and also an alloy whose cost of production is no way inferior to the middle class mana stones for equivalent size.
Even a mighty emperor class experts had to exert great difficulty, to make a scratch on it's surface, nevertheless a lord class experts that's fighting on top over it.
The alloy appeared pale white in colour, also radiating a mysterious charm that was quite attractive to one's eyes.
Such a precious metal was used as tiles, covering the upper surface of the platform. Where the selected eligible ones could challenge their peers to improve their skills.
Unlike other zones, the masters zone was divided into three parts, outer part for unrankers, middle part for rankers and central part for chosen twenty.
Mark was naturally informed to go to platform number seven in the middle part of the zone where it was the domain for rankers, where he needs to defeat a person whose weaker than him, to get a clear view of powerhouses in rankers rankers list.
