109 Round One: Fight! (2)

Lars ran through what he knew about relative power levels even as he began to undo some of the self-imposed seals he had placed on his body.

The most common ways of defining cultivation speed and the future potential a combatant had was by their grade of talent.

Based on what he had heard, a talented individual who could stand out among ten thousand people was often called a grade 1 talent. Anything lower or anyone slower was not even in the radar to be considered talented or gifted; instead they would just be considered a normal or mundane cultivator, a plebeian who would quickly fall behind their peers and remain at a low level for their entire lives.

Grade 1 talents would have no difficulties breaking through from the Normal-level to become a teenage Adept by the age of 15 years old and advance to Elite at 19 then Master before turning 30. They would then be able to at least reach the Grandmaster realm by their late 40s.
