A detailed explanation of the combat power of fantasy novels

Answer 1

The combat systems in fantasy novels were complex and varied. The following were some common types:

* * 1. Cultivation-type combat system **
1. * * Qi Refinement **
- This was the initial stage of cultivation. Cultivators began to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to temper themselves and lay the foundation for subsequent cultivation. Cultivators at this stage were relatively weak, and their main focus was on condensing and guiding spiritual energy.
2. * * Foundation Establishment **
- A successful Foundation Establishment meant that a cultivator had a more solid foundation on the path of cultivation. The combination of the body and spiritual energy was closer, and it could store and use more spiritual energy. In battle, it could cast some simple spells or use spiritual energy to strengthen its own attack and defense.
3. * * Jindan **
- Forming a golden core was a major leap in the strength of a Xiuzhenist. A golden core was a highly condensed crystal of spiritual energy. Cultivators with a golden core had more powerful spiritual energy and could use powerful spells to cause considerable damage to the surrounding environment and enemies. They also had a strong suppressive force when facing low-level cultivators.
4. * * Nascent Soul **
- The appearance of the Nascent Soul represented that the cultivator's soul and spiritual power had reached a new level of integration. The Nascent Soul could leave the body and move alone (within a certain range). In battle, Nascent Soul cultivators not only had powerful spells, but they could also use their Nascent Soul to perform some special abilities, such as soul attacks or sneak attacks.
5. * * Out of Body **
- Leaving Aperture realm cultivators could let their soul or Nascent Soul leave their bodies for a long time and control external objects within a certain distance to investigate or fight. In terms of combat ability, they could launch attacks from a longer distance or use the advantage of leaving their bodies to carry out some complicated tactical operations.
6. * * Distraction **
- A Soul Splitting Stage cultivator could split into multiple spiritual will or spirit power clones, and each clone had a certain level of combat power. This allowed them to deal with attacks from multiple directions or attack multiple targets at the same time in battle, greatly increasing their combat flexibility.
7. * * Combination **
- The Form Synthesis Stage referred to the stage where a cultivator's spiritual power, soul, body, and other aspects were further integrated and sublimated. At this stage, cultivators could display a stronger overall strength in battle. The power of spells, the strength of the body, the resistance of the soul, and other aspects had reached a higher balance.
8. * * Tribulation **
- Dujie-stage cultivators faced the test of the rules of heaven and earth. They needed to go through the lightning tribulation and other tribulations to further improve their cultivation. In terms of combat, their strength was already very strong, but because they were about to face the pressure of transcending the tribulation, they would use their strength more cautiously. Once they succeeded in transcending the tribulation, they would enter a higher Mahayana realm.
9. * * Mahayana **
- The Great Vehicle Stage was a very high level in the cultivation system, only one step away from ascending to immortality. Dacheng cultivators could almost crush low-level cultivators in battle. Their use of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth had reached an extremely profound realm, and the power of their spells was earth-shattering.

* * 2. Fiendish Cultivator combat system **
1. * * Body Refining **
- The body-tempering stage of demonic cultivators focused on tempering one's body, allowing one's body to have great strength, speed, and resistance. Fiendish cultivators at the Body Refining Stage had a certain advantage in close combat. They could cause considerable damage to the enemy just by relying on their physical strength.
2. * * Na Ling **
- The demonic cultivators in the Soul Receiving Stage began to absorb the spiritual energy or evil spirit energy in the world and transform it into their own demonic energy to increase their strength. They could use magic power to carry out some simple attacks, such as firing magic bullets.
3. * * Essence Condensation **
- Element Condensation demonic cultivators would condense the absorbed demonic power into something like an elemental core. Their demonic power would be more condensed, and they would be able to release more powerful demonic attacks during battle. They could also form a demonic shield around their bodies to defend themselves.
4. * * Desire **
- At this stage, the willpower of the Fiendish Cultivators began to fuse with their magic power. Not only did they have powerful magic attacks in battle, but they could also use their powerful willpower to interfere with the enemy's mental state, such as creating fear, confusion, and other negative emotions to affect the enemy's combat state.
5. * * Devour **
- Devour stage demonic cultivators could devour the spiritual power, demonic power, and even souls of other creatures or cultivators to increase their strength. In battle, they might use some sneak attacks or surprise attacks to devour the opponent's strength to strengthen themselves.
6. * * Demon Baby **
- The formation of the demonic infant was similar to the Nascent Soul of a cultivator. It was a highly condensed demonic cultivator's power and soul. The demonic infant of the demonic infant stage could exert powerful magical power output in battle. Moreover, the demonic infant had a certain degree of self-awareness and could take the initiative to attack when its master was threatened.
7. * * Out of Body **
- A demonic cultivator in the Out of Body stage could also let a demonic infant or soul out of their body to engage in combat or reconnaissance. Their abilities after leaving their body were similar to that of a cultivator in the Out of Body stage, but due to the demonic characteristics of demonic cultivators, their attacks might be more evil and strange.
8. * * Demon General **
- The Demon General Stage had a certain status among the Demon Cultivators. Their magic power was so strong that they could command some low-level Demon Cultivators or Demon Spirits. In battle, apart from his powerful magic attacks, he could also command his subordinates to engage in group combat.

10. * * Void Fragmentation Realm **
- Void Fragmentation Realm devil cultivators could shatter the void, and their understanding of space and time had reached a certain level. They could use spatial cracks to attack or dodge in battle, and their magic power had already reached the level of being able to affect the structure of space.
11. * * Tribulation **
- The tribulation transcendence of a devil cultivator was similarly facing a huge test. After successfully transcending the tribulation, one would enter a higher realm. Before transcending the tribulation, they were the top experts among the demonic cultivators. They possessed powerful demonic power and combat techniques.

* * 3. Demon Cultivator combat system **
1. * * Spirit Gathering **
- The spirit gathering stage of demon cultivators was to begin absorbing the spiritual qi of heaven and earth and gather it around themselves to increase their spiritual intelligence and initial strength. Spirit Gathering Stage demon cultivators could use spirit qi to carry out some simple instinctive attacks, such as releasing spirit qi to attack.
2. * * Wisdom **
- The intelligence of the demon cultivators at the Enlightenment Stage had been further improved, and they began to understand some simple combat strategies. In battle, besides using one's own demonic power (converted from spiritual energy) to attack, one could also react according to the enemy's situation, such as dodging, feinting attacks, and so on.
3. * * Body Forging **
- Body-refining stage demon cultivators focused on training their bodies, making their bodies tougher and their claws, teeth, and other attacking parts sharper. In close combat, they relied on their strong bodies and sharp attacking parts to deal damage to the enemy.
4. * * Bone Refining **
- The bones of a demon cultivator at the Bone Tempering Stage would become as hard as iron after undergoing special training. Not only did this increase their defense, but they could also use the power of their bones to carry out some special attacks in battle, such as bone spur attacks.
5. * * Monster Core **
- The formation of a demon core was an important indicator of a demon cultivator's strength. The demon core contained the essence of the demon cultivator. The demon cultivator with the demon core could release powerful demon power attacks, and the demon core could also increase the recovery ability of the demon cultivator to a certain extent.
6. * * Transformation **
- Transformation stage demon cultivators could transform into human form. During the transformation process, their demon power would be further adjusted and improved. After transforming, the demon cultivators could use more human combat techniques in battle. Moreover, due to the flexibility of their human forms, their combat methods were more diverse.
7. * * Soul Condensation **
- The soul of a Soul Condensing Stage demon cultivator was strengthened. In battle, they could use the power of the soul to attack or defend at the soul level. For example, by releasing the power of the soul to confuse the enemy or resist the enemy's soul attack.
8. * * Demon General **
- The demon general stage demon cultivators had a certain leading position in the demon cultivator community.
