The Sky Silver Empire is just a small Empire in the South of the Hangzhou Continent and it is surrounded by three islands on the east, west and south.
In this world where martial arts dominate, the Sky Silver Empire has long lost its history of martial arts talent.
The martial arts achievements of Sky Silver Empire could reach nowhere near other countries of the continent. Even a person considered as a martial arts genius in the country would be nothing but an ordinary person if he goes to other countries.
Here, only the privileged section of the society like the kings and nobles could practice martial arts.
The expenses of cultivating martial arts could not be afforded by the ordinary people.
So martial artists were really rare and all the martial artists held high positions in the society.
The current Emperor Li Jian is a martial artist with a Rank 2 Earth Class Martial Soul and is currently a martial artist at Level Eight Martial Master Realm.
A Martial Soul is the basic requirement for becoming a martial artist. Martial Souls were divided into three classes - Human Class, Earth Class and Heaven Class which were further divided into Nine Ranks. A person's Martial Soul also decided the cultivation speed of a Martial artist. A person with a high ranked Martial Soul would be destined to become a great powerhouse in the future. In the Sky Silver Empire a Martial Soul higher than Rank 5 Earth Class hasn't appeared since 1000 years.
