Chapter 114: Journey through Nagan Mountain.

As in any strength system, the Level System has bottlenecks. These thresholds signify substantial increases in power, abilities, and understanding and represent critical points in a cultivation journey. For both the Warrior Path and the Magi Path, the first threshold presents itself at Level 6.

Up to Level 5, Warriors and Mages remain in what is known as the Mortal Tier. In this tier, while they are capable of extraordinary abilities unless they possess extremely powerful bloodlines or Gifts, they are still considered normal life forms, limited by the constraints of mortality and capable of limited destructive power.
