Cultivation Level:
1 : Dou Zhi Qi/Dou Disciple : The very beginning of Dou Cultivation.
2 : Dou Zhe/Dou Practitioner : Upon reaching this stage, a Dou Fighter can truly utilise the Dou Qi within their own bodies.
3 : Dou Shi/Dou Master : Once this stage is attained, a Fighter can use the Dou Qi in their body to form a cloak giving increased defensive strength.
4 : Da Dou Shi/Dou Grandmaster : It is at this point when a Practitioner's Dou Qi becomes hard enough to form an armament.
5 : Dou Ling/Dou Spirit : It's considered a decent enough state to be in where a person's Dou Qi will solidify and it becomes possible to apply it to other objects.
6 : Dou Wang/Dou King : At the time when a person reaches this stage, they will be able to form Dou Qi wings and even draw Dou Qi from around themselves. While this amount is not very large, it can still be useful in a fight.
7 : Dou Huang/Dou Emperor : A step into the realm of the truly strong is attained once one reaches this stage. These existences can draw on massive amounts of Dou Qi from the area and hold themselves in air briefly without wings.
8 : Dou Zong/Dou Ancestor : A pinnacle existence among most minor clans, the Dou Zong gains the ability to utilise the mysterious 'Spatial Strength' to do thing like hold oneself in air and even create locks in space where a person can only escape after breaking the lock. However, this method exhausts a vast amount of Dou Qi.
9 : Dou Zun/Dou Venerate : A strong person no matter where one goes, a Dou Zun gains an almost perfect knowledge of the so-called 'Spatial Strength', and is able to use it in a far more versatile manner than any Dou Zong ever could. This class is characterised by the ability to form wormholes (Gaps in spacetime).
9.5 : Ban Sheng/Half-Saint : It is a transitional stage of the higher level cultivation realms. It is not considered a true Dou State , but is still necessary to enter the extremely strong Dou Sheng class. It is divided into the lower, intermediate, and high levels.
10 : Dou Sheng/Dou Saint : A peak existence even among the top tier power, the Dou Sheng is a realm so broken, that logic starts to fail here. A one star Dou Sheng can easily overpower dozens of Ban Sheng, a two star can easily defeat a one star, and so on. Upon attaining the sixth star, a Practitioner can open a separate realm for others to inhabit, and the seventh can utilise all the Dou Qi within those realms, effectively becoming the world. A nine star Dou Sheng is representative of the peak of the world, with no other existence coming close to that. Any casual action of a Dou Sheng can demolish cities, shatter mountains, and destroy space itself. They know all the secrets of the natural law of space.
11 : Dou Di/Dou God : The Dou Di is a mythical ranking, high above all others . A Dou Di , has no need to even lift a finger against a billion, or even a trillion Peak Dou Sheng, if that's even imaginable. At this point, the power scaling becomes impossible to understand.
Types of Douqi :
Water: the water type Dou Qi was the most gentle kind. In the absence of any healing medicine, water type Dou Qi was the most suitable choice to help treat wounds. Hence, water type Dou Qi practitioners were also commonly known as "Mobile Healing Medicine". In many mercenary groups, someone who possessed the water element Qi Technique was a must. After all, when fellow members were severely injured, only water or wood type Dou Qi would be able to help the member gain sufficient time to heal.
Wood: the wood type Dou Qi similar to the water type has healing properties.
Wind: the wind type Dou Qi is known for its speed.
Rock: the rock type Dou Qi is known for its powerful defense.
Fire: the fire type Dou Qi is known for its powerful attack.
Lightning: lightning type Dou Qi was extremely rare. Besides having a very strong offensive strength, this kind of Dou Qi also possessed a paralyzing effect. In battle, it really caused people to have a headache.

Skill Ranking :
Huang (Yellow): This is the first rank skill class and within each skill there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.
Xuan (Black): This is the second rank skill category.
Di (Earth): This is the third rank skill class. Though Di Level was only one grade better than High Xuan Level, the distance between the two was as wide as the grand canyon. With enough wealth and a bit of luck, one could occasionally obtain a High Xuan Dou Technique from a high-ranking auction. Yet a Di Level Dou Technique could be said to be priced beyond the market as it was once heard that in the imperial capital of Jia Ma Empire, the price of a Di Level Dou Technique had rocketed to a sky-high price of about ten million, which was equivalent to an entire year of taxes from the entire Jia Ma Empire. Although it was merely one grade of difference, the price between the two was more than a hundred times. From this it could be seen that Xuan Level and Di Level were two completely different concepts.
Tian (Heaven): This is the fourth rank skill class, it is the highest and most powerful skill class and as with each skill class there is a further subclass as low/mid/high.
