Peasant Realm
Continuous Ballooning Stage
This stage has a collection of 12 levels in total. Stepping into this stage requires the consumption of Ferocious Beast Meat. To reach each level in the stage, one must consume a certain amount of Ferocious Beast meat at once, with no pauses allowed.
Level 1: 0.5 kg
Level 2: 1 kg
Level 3: 3 kg
Level 4: 5 kg
Level 5: 10 kg
Level 6: 20 kg
Level 7: 30 kg
Level 8: 45 kg
Level 9: 70 kg
Level 10: 100 kg
Level 11: 140 kg
Level 12: 200 kg
All the above meat mass values are of Tier 1 Ferocious Beast Meat. This much is required to step into each stage.
For Ballooning Stage experts, an increase in level equates to a rough increase in strength. This strength gain can be measured through body stats such as total body mass, speed of running, and ability to lift objects.
Level 1: 100 kg
Level 2: 125 kg
Level 3: 175 kg
Level 4: 225 kg
Level 5: 275 kg
Level 6: 400 kg
Level 7: 525 kg
Level 8: 650 kg
Level 9: 800 kg
Level 10: 950 kg
Level 11: 1,100 kg
Level 12: 1,500 kg
The above is a metric for the total lifting ability of Ballooning Stage experts of various levels.
Every 3 levels, a Ballooning Stage expert undergoes some qualitative changes. These changes contribute to more than just some increased body strength. These boundaries are often used as milestones to mark one's progression in a realm.
Levels 1 - 3 are classified as Early Ballooning Stage.
Levels 4 - 6 are classified as Intermediate Ballooning Stage.
Levels 7 - 9 are classified as Ultra Ballooning Stage.
Levels 10 - 12 are classified as Peak Ballooning Stage.
At level 3, cultivators can expand their body a little in battle to defend themselves from incoming attacks.
At level 6, cultivators can expand their bodies to attack back.
At level 9, cultivators can use their skin to roll around very quickly.
At level 12, cultivators can put their entire weight behind their blows and use their maximum strength in finisher strikes. Their skin also becomes almost impervious to ordinary metal.
The essence of this stage is to become familiar with the process of consuming Ferocious Beast meat. Peasant Cultivation was created with the intent to make the fragile bodies of humans as tough and durable as beasts themselves. By eating more beast meat, the body slowly prepares itself for its metamorphosis. The Ballooning Stage is only a tempering stage for the eventual transformation.
To pass into the next stage, Ballooning Stage members require Tier 2 Ferocious Beast meat as well as an unwavering will. They must starve themselves for many days and hunt beasts simultaneously for the best result. Every time they are about to die from hunger, they must replenish themselves with Ferocious Beast meat. Doing this enough times will eventually allow someone to get into the next stage.
Something relevant to note is that the more energy Ballooning Stage exert, the more their bodies deflate. This is something seen throughout this stage and in the next stage as well, though the effects are less apparent here.
Complete Deflation Stage
This stage has a collection of 12 levels in total. Stepping into this stage requires the consumption of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast Meat. To reach each level, one must consume a certain amount of Ferocious Beast meat.
Furthermore, one must also prepare to starve for extended periods of time. The number of beasts that they hunt while starving will play a big role in affecting how fast they can reach the next level. They must always be in life-or-death conditions while fighting for best effects.

E-Rank: 50%
D-Rank: 35%
C-Rank: 20%
B-Rank: 10%
A-Rank: 5%
S-Rank: 1%
All values represent remnant energy. Effects only last until the next time a full meal is consumed.
Level 1: 5 kg
Level 2: 10 kg
Level 3: 30 kg
Level 4: 50 kg
Level 5: 100 kg
Level 6: 200 kg

Level 8: 450 kg
Level 9: 700 kg
Level 10: 1,000 kg
Level 11: 1,400 kg
Level 12: 2,000 kg
All the above meat mass values are of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast Meat assuming S-Rank exhaustion. This much is required to step into each stage.
Eating 1 kg of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast meat in S-Rank Conditions is equal to eating 5 kg of the same kind of meat in A-Rank Conditions. Likewise, eating 1 kg of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast meat in S-Rank Conditions is equal to eating 90 kg of the same kind of meat in G-Rank Conditions.
G-Rank = 1 : 90
F-Rank = 1 : 70
E-Rank = 1 : 50
D-Rank = 1 : 35
C-Rank = 1 : 20
B-Rank = 1 : 10
A-Rank = 1 : 5
S-Rank = 1 : 1
All ratios represent the value of meat relative to S-Rank Conditions.
The lower the amount of remnant energy in the body, the lower the amount of meat needed to advance to the next level. In practice, the maximum amount of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast meat that someone with G-Rank Exhaustion needs to eat to reach Level 1 of Complete Deflation Stage is 450 kg. This is the absolute maximum amount needed, provided that the person eating the meat is always in a state of G-Rank Exhaustion while eating.
Level 1: 450 kg
Level 2: 900 kg
Level 3: 2,700 kg
Level 4: 4,500 kg
Level 5: 9,000 kg
Level 6: 18,000 kg
Level 7: 27,000 kg
Level 8: 40,500 kg
Level 9: 63,000 kg
Level 10: 90,000 kg
Level 11: 126,000 kg
Level 12: 180,000 kg
Amount of Tier 2 Ferocious Beast meat someone in permanent G-Rank state needs to eat.
The lowest amount of meat that is needed to reach Level 1 of the Complete Deflation Stage by someone with S-Rank Exhaustion is 5 kg. All other levels have similar absolute bounds. The actual amount can vary invariably between these two boundaries, depending on what kind of an exhaustion state someone that is eating the meat is in.
Furthermore, one can only enter an Exhaustion State if he or she becomes exhausted through means of battle. Tiring oneself through other means will not lead to any results.
Every 3 levels, a Deflation Stage expert undergoes some qualitative changes. These changes contribute to more than just some increased body strength. These boundaries are often used as milestones to mark one's progression in a realm.
Levels 1 - 3 are classified as Early Deflation Stage.
Levels 4 - 6 are classified as Intermediate Deflation Stage.
Levels 7 - 9 are classified as Ultra Deflation Stage.
Levels 10 - 12 are classified as Peak Deflation Stage.
At level 3, cultivators can eat much more even in their exhausted states.
At level 6, cultivators can shrink their bodies to up to 75% of original size and utilize twice as much power.
At level 9, cultivators can twist their bodies at all sorts of crazy angles.
At level 12, cultivators can move at insane speeds.
The essence of this stage is to lose the mass that was generated in the previous stage and turn the body into something more agile and deadly. Furthermore, this stage also cultivates character.
Those that persevere and push through despite all odds are awarded. This is the kind of mentality that this stage enforces. Those that try to take the easy way out will suffer in the future stages, so this stage attempts to weed out the unworthy. The metamorphosis from human to Ferocious Beast is brutal. To survive the mental effects of it, cultivators need to pass this stage.
To cross into the stage after this one, Deflation Stage members require Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bones. In addition to this, they must be unafraid of pain, because only pain awaits them from this point forth. To best shape the body into a beast, certain parts of the body must be strengthened. The best way to strengthen something is to break it down, piece by piece, in a systematic and controlled fashion.
Doing this will allow cultivators to pass into the next stage.
Northern Bone Stage
This stage has a collection of 12 levels in total. Stepping into this stage requires the consumption of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bone. To reach each different proficiency in the stage, one must consume a certain amount of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bones. They must also break down their body, specifically the bones gathered around the area near the head. The more bones that are broken down, the more effective eating Ferocious Beast bones will be.
In cultivation stages prior to this, bones are usually not eaten along with the Ferocious Beast meat. This is because the body at the previous stages is not ready to take in the bone. In this stage, however, those conditions no longer exist. Nevertheless, eating bone will always be much harder than eating meat, regardless of the stage.
G-Rank: 90%
F-Rank: 70%
E-Rank: 50%
D-Rank: 35%
C-Rank: 20%
B-Rank: 10%
A-Rank: 5%
S-Rank: 1%
These ranks represent the degree of fracture in the bones. The lower the number, the less percentage of intact bones remaining.
Level 1: 5 kg
Level 2: 10 kg
Level 3: 30 kg
Level 4: 50 kg
Level 5: 100 kg

Level 11: 1,400 kg
Level 12: 2,000 kg
Amount of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bones someone in permanent S-Rank state needs to eat. This much is required to pass into each level.
Eating 1 kg of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bone in S-Rank Conditions is equal to eating 5 kg of the same kind of bone in A-Rank Conditions. Likewise, eating 1 kg of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bone in S-Rank Conditions is equal to eating 90 kg of the same kind of bone in G-Rank Conditions.
G-Rank = 1 : 90
F-Rank = 1 : 70

B-Rank = 1 : 10
A-Rank = 1 : 5
S-Rank = 1 : 1
All ratios represent the value of bone relative to S-Rank Conditions.
The higher the amount of bone fracture in the body, the lower the amount of bone needed to advance to the next level. In practice, the maximum amount of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bone that someone with G-Rank Exhaustion needs to eat to reach Level 1 of Northern Bone Stage is 450 kg. This is the absolute maximum amount needed, provided that the person eating the meat is always in a state of G-Rank bone fracture while eating.

Amount of Tier 3 Ferocious Beast bone someone in permanent G-Rank state needs to eat.
The lowest amount of bone that is needed to reach Level 1 of the Northern Bone Stage by someone with S-Rank bone fracture is 5 kg. All other levels have similar absolute bounds. The actual amount can vary invariably between these two boundaries, depending on what kind of a bone fracture state someone that is eating the bone is in.
Every 3 levels, a Bone Stage expert undergoes some qualitative changes. These changes contribute to more than just some increased body strength. These boundaries are often used as milestones to mark one's progression in a realm.
Levels 1 - 3 are classified as Early Bone Stage.
Levels 4 - 6 are classified as Intermediate Bone Stage.
Levels 7 - 9 are classified as Ultra Bone Stage.
Levels 10 - 12 are classified as Peak Bone Stage.
At level 3, cultivators can destroy the bones in the hands, feet, arms and legs.
At level 6, cultivators can destroy the bones in the torso and pelvis.
At level 9, cultivators can destroy bones in the spinal cord.
At level 12, cultivators can destroy the skull.
The essence of this stage is to make the body less vulnerable to breakage and to turn it into something more protected and sturdy. Furthermore, this stage also cultivates character. Those that persevere and push through despite all the pain are awarded.
This is the kind of mentality that this stage enforces. Those that try to take the easy way out will suffer in the future stages, so this stage attempts to weed out the unworthy. The metamorphosis from human to Ferocious Beast is brutal. To survive the mental effects of it, cultivators need to pass this stage.
To cross into the stage after this one, Bone Stage members require Tier 4 Ferocious Beast blood. In addition to this, they must be unafraid of pain, because only pain awaits them from this point forth. To best shape the body into the body of a beast, beast blood is needed. The best way to obtain the blood of the beast is by draining the blood in the body out and drinking blood from beasts.
Following through with this painful process will allow cultivators to pass into the next stage.
