'Sword Dao,' John thought, naturally thinking of his mysterious father, who had displayed a monstrous comprehension of the Sword Dao when he had fought his fathers youthful avatar in the Divine Talent Trial.
'Dao Tournaments?' John thought next, but refrained from asking about them. He was sure Luri would eventually get to explaining what they were.
"Beneath the Tier One Sects are the Tier Two Sects, which are as the name suggests the second strongest set of powers of the human race," Luri continued. "There are twelve Tier Two powers, and each one is affiliated with one of the Tier One Sects."
"Affiliated?" John asked, as the word could mean many things.
"Basically subsects," Luri said before elaborating further. "Under the protection of a Tier One Dao Sect. In exchange for that protection, the subsects provide taxes, treasures, talented geniuses and more."
John nodded his head in understanding.
