Supreme

Before the Dark Tide existed in the Mycroft Continent, reaching the lands of Continental War, Supreme was the term to define the strongest person! Within the entire northern Empire, only the emperor had this strength. The other mages of the royal court normally would only reach Perfect Supreme. With the power of Supreme, it was capable to become the ruler of a certain land.

With the Seven Gods existing in this world where the ‘The Great Magic Era’ had yet to arrive, the existence of a Supreme tier was so rare! The eastern plains were homes that were industrialized with magic. There were the best and the most wholesome Mage Academies and Legacies all over that region. But even so, there were no more than twenty Supreme-tier mages throughout the entire continent. The current northern Empire was no longer the same kingdom of legendary mages three hundred years ago. Now, there were only two Supreme-tier mages in the entire kingdom that belonged to the Emperor who was a Legendary warrior. There were only two!

The power of Supreme is to change the tide of a battle, to change the fate of a nation

[Supreme] is a realm that requires time to accumulate and adjust. There is no shortcut or any way to fake it!”

There are 3 Mastery

### **Mastery Skill**

The person must master hundreds of martial arts techniques and thousands of skills to be used at the tip of one’s finger. They are able to continue to learn new skills. One could just slowly understand Mastery over time.

Mastery Skill represented not only Combat Skills, but also the ultimate of any universal ability. Skills to search for presence, skills to differentiate lights, skills to differentiate sounds and location, evasion, prejudging, mind, and even eating, running, flying, the position when one charge up and let out a punch during training. Everything was part of skills. They were all derivatives that involved one’s physical control over their own bodies.

### **Mastery Strength**

They are pure strength, the strength that exceeded one’s limitations.

Every training would not promise reward. One would even suffer a decline in physical function due to overtraining oneself. One might not be able to achieve results even if they put effort in it. It was very possible that one’s status would deteriorate instead of improve. A struggling through hardships might only be able to maintain the current status of one’s body from deteriorating. They would not be able to become stronger even if they trained to the point that even their sweat wet their shoes and soles.

These possibilities might be true, and there were countless examples to serve as facts. That was also the reason why the word ‘Gift’ was invented—humans had limits, and when they reached their limits, there was no way to become stronger anymore.

However, the Strength of Supreme would be the one thing that could break through that barrier. It was an existence that could break those shackles.

As long as a person would train himself, he would become progressive. As long as that person continued to work hard, he would become stronger—such extraordinary ability that seemed like a fantasy would be the truth about Supreme Strength, the power to surpass limit.

The awakening of Mastery Strength would require laborious training.

Effort and never slacking off. Even if there was no effect at all, one would need to maintain and persist to train daily. At the same time, one should assist in some of the battles that could allow oneself to blast with full power. By doing all that, the power would naturally be awakened.

Of course, for some lucky people, running ten kilometers a day, one hundred push-ups, one hundred sit-ups, and one hundred squats would have been enough for the person to break the shackles of his or her limit. Meanwhile, people with bad luck… they might never be able to break those shackles even if they spent their entire lifetime trying. There was no example or whatsoever about them at all.

### **Mastery Soul**

Mastery Soul where one would only look at the degree of spiritual consciousness and determination of the person’s will.

## **Trial of Masteries**

The quests for the Trial of Masteries had always been quirky and complicated. They might not be as difficult as expected though, however, it would be absolutely unpleasant to complete them. The quest for the Trial of Skill Mastery that Joshua needed to complete in the previous life in order to awaken his Skill Mastery power was defeating twenty-five different Upper Gold-Tier enemies with twenty-five different methods. It would not matter whether the enemies were daemons or humans, or what sort of weapons were used to defeat the enemies. It could be swords, or bows and arrows, or even chopsticks if one was capable of doing it. One could even use poison, ambush, or even ganging up on the enemy by asking for help from others. Everything would be accounted for as long as the methods were different.
