As he grew older, Adam Bennett also gained a vague understanding of this continent...

The continent is called the Dou Qi Continent. There are no various types of magic commonly seen in novels; instead, Dou Qi is the sole theme of the continent!

On this continent, the cultivation of Dou Qi has, through the efforts of countless generations, developed to its peak. Moreover, due to the continuous proliferation of Dou Qi, it has eventually spread among the common people. As a result, Dou Qi has become closely intertwined with daily human life, making its importance on the continent truly irreplaceable!

Because of the extreme proliferation of Dou Qi, countless methods of Dou Qi cultivation have branched out from this main line. As the saying goes, "hands differ in length," so naturally, the various Dou Qi cultivation methods also vary in strength.

After classification and summary, the Dou Qi Continent divides Dou Qi techniques into four ranks and twelve levels, from highest to lowest: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow!

Each rank is further divided into three levels: low, middle, and high!

The level of the Dou Qi technique one cultivates is also the key factor determining future achievements. For example, someone cultivating a mid-level Mysterious rank technique will naturally be somewhat stronger than someone of the same level cultivating a high-level Yellow rank technique.

On the Dou Qi Continent, strength is determined by three factors.

First and most important is one's own strength. If your strength is only at the level of a one-star Dou Zhe, then even if you cultivate a rare high-level Heaven rank technique, it would still be difficult to defeat a Dou Shi who practices a Yellow rank technique.

Second is the technique itself! Among strong individuals of the same level, if your technique is much higher ranked than your opponent's, your advantages will become immediately apparent in a contest.

The last factor is called Dou Skills!

As the name suggests, these are special skills that utilize Dou Qi. Dou Skills on the continent are also divided into ranks, generally following the same four levels: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, and Yellow.

There are countless Dou Skills on the Dou Qi Continent, but most of the commonly circulated public Dou Skills are only around the Yellow rank. To obtain more advanced Dou Skills, one must join a sect or a Dou Qi academy on the continent.

Of course, some people obtain techniques left behind by predecessors through fortuitous encounters, or possess Dou Skills that are specifically matched to their own techniques. These Dou Skills, evolved from their techniques and used in combination, are even more powerful.

Only by relying on these three factors can one determine who is stronger or weaker. In general, if you can possess a higher-ranked Dou Qi technique, the benefits in the future are self-evident...

However, advanced Dou Qi cultivation techniques are very difficult for ordinary people to obtain. The techniques circulating among the common classes are at most Yellow rank. Some stronger families or small to medium sects may have Mysterious rank cultivation methods. For example, in Adam Bennett's family, the highest-level technique is one that only the clan leader is qualified to practice: Wild Lion Furious Gang, which is a wind attribute, mid-level Mysterious rank Dou Qi technique.

Above the Mysterious rank is the Earth rank, but such advanced techniques may only be possessed by those transcendent powers and great empires...

As for the Heaven rank... it hasn't appeared for hundreds of years.

In theory, it is nearly impossible for ordinary people to obtain advanced techniques. However, nothing is absolute. The Dou Qi Continent is vast, with countless races. To the north are the so-called barbarians, famed for their immense strength and ability to merge with beast souls. To the south are various highly intelligent magical beast clans, and there are also the infamous dark races known for their cunning and ruthlessness...

Because of the vastness of the land, there are also many unknown reclusive hermits. When their lives come to an end, these eccentric individuals might hide the techniques they created somewhere, waiting for a fated person to find them. On the Dou Qi Continent, there is a saying: If one day you fall off a cliff and into a cave, don't panic. Take a few steps forward, and perhaps you will become a strong one!

This saying is not false. In the nearly thousand-year history of the continent, there is no shortage of stories of people becoming strong through such fortuitous encounters.

The result of this story is the creation of a large number of dreamers who wait by cliffs every day, ready to jump in hopes of obtaining peerless techniques. Of course, most of these people return with broken arms and legs...

In short, this is a land full of miracles, and a land where miracles are created!

Of course, to cultivate Dou Qi secret techniques, one must at least become a true Dou Zhe to be qualified. As for Adam Bennett, that goal still seems very far away...

"Bah." Spitting out the grass root in his mouth, Adam Bennett suddenly jumped up, his face twisted, and he roared at the night sky in a loss of composure: "Damn it, did you bring me here just to be a useless loser? Shit!"

In his previous life, Adam Bennett was just an extremely ordinary member of the masses, with money and beauties being parallel lines that never intersected with him. However, after coming to this Dou Qi Continent, Adam Bennett was pleasantly surprised to discover that, thanks to the experience of two lifetimes, his soul was actually much stronger than that of ordinary people!

You should know, on the Dou Qi Continent, souls are innate. They may grow slightly stronger with age, but there is no technique that can cultivate the soul alone—not even Heaven rank techniques! This is common knowledge on the Dou Qi Continent.
