Chapter 58: Change

In the year 801 of the Landau calendar, the Military Aircraft Department issued an exciting announcement - according to the different comprehensive strength, a unified standard was formulated, and the strength level of warriors and magicians was systematically evaluated.

The news caused a great sensation in Grande, but in just a few months, it had spread throughout the continent.

Until then, the hierarchy of power had been inconclusive. Only through actual battles can the strong men roughly judge what level of strength the two sides are at.

However, in the absence of uniform criteria, conclusions can often only be drawn through unilateral views.

To take a simple example - if a swordsman single-handedly defeats an adult sword wolf, it is generally believed that he has strength above the fourth order.

However, this way of judging is too simple, in fact, this martial artist who is considered to have fourth-order strength is very likely to be inferior to a magician whose strength is only third-order.

Just imagine, when low-level fireballs are overwhelmingly smashing at you, no matter how strong your physique is, I am afraid that you can only end up fleeing in panic.

The martial artist's melee combat power is much stronger than that of the mage, but the large-area attack is dwarfed.

The grading of strength needs to take into account many factors, and practitioners of different professions cannot generalize.

Swordsman is a very common low-level class, strength is its greatest advantage, and the weapons used are mostly long swords and epees, and overall all abilities are very average.

Archers have keen eyesight and can even attack at a range of hundreds of meters. Agility means agility, but in order to pursue lightness of movement, there is no focus on physical training.

Archery was originally one of the more prosperous professions in the mainland, but due to the fact that swordsmen have also begun to pay attention to the training of archery in recent years, archers have become a dispensable profession and have gradually been neglected.

Magicians are not only slow to move, but also weak in close combat, but no one dares to underestimate them.

Magical talents, magic caps, and affinities for magical elements are only eligible to learn magic if all of these conditions are met.

Since the profession of magician has a high threshold, looking at the entire Star Fall Continent, it is also one in a hundred.

However, due to the lack of a strict power system, many cultivators overestimate or underestimate the strength of the other party, resulting in mission failure or even loss of life.

Therefore, people who walk on the long path of cultivation are like crossing a river by touching a stone, and they cannot accurately judge whether their strength is strong or weak. It is also unavoidable to encounter the embarrassing situation of wrong estimation of strength.

Even the powerhouses of the Sacred Realm, who are extremely proficient in the control of power, only stay on the surface of their perception of power.

A is a swordsman who successfully killed a high-level fierce beast at a risk, so he is naturally considered to have high-level strength.

B is a magician, and when he encounters a high-level fierce beast, he does not dare to compete with it, and immediately flees in the wilderness.

People will compare the results of the two encounters with the same danger, and conclude that the swordsman is stronger than the magician.

However, in fact, the melee combat ability of the swordsman is much higher than that of the magician, and the magician can completely escape the fierce beast of the pure physics department.

But no matter what the strength of the opponent is, the swordsman can only bite the bullet. Without the blessing of magic, it is impossible to escape from under the nose of a ferocious beast.

The proposal for a clear division of the power system was jointly put forward by the chancellor of the empire at the time, Reciher Fisdal, and several key figures in the military aircraft department.

As a unique astrologer in the Starfall Continent, Rui Xiu's sensitivity to energy fluctuations is far greater than that of ordinary people.

Astrologers are not very different from magicians in nature, but the threshold is much higher, and only magicians who have stepped into the sanctuary can begin the practice of astrology. Not only are they skilled in magic, but they also have the ability to predict the future.

The astrologer only needs to sense the opponent's energy fluctuations through mental power before the battle, and after a few seconds, he can clearly find out what level the opponent's strength is.

Regrettably, however, this enviable ability of Rui Xiu could not be passed on to others. It's impossible for all the martial artists and magicians to come to the door and let Rui Xiu test his strength level, right?

Several Sanctuary powerhouses in the Military Aircraft Department asked Ruixiu to come up with a suitable solution, and Fisdal unexpectedly agreed to their invitation, and wrote to Caesar that he would preside over the development of the power system.

Of course, Rui Xiu is not a selfless character. With this excellent opportunity, he collected a large amount of battle information of different class powerhouses and conducted a detailed analysis according to their strength characteristics. These materials are excellent materials for both the cultivation of magic and the development of astrology.

In the process of researching this groundbreaking magic experiment, the Military Aircraft Department even inadvertently recruited many powerful people.

After a year of practice and trade-offs, the dust has finally settled on this revolutionary experiment.

In the division of power system announced by the Military Aircraft Department, there is no separation between magicians and warriors, but a unified division of ranks.

The specific assessment of the power class also needs to go through a special assessment. Only after being recognized by the examiner can you get the title of the corresponding class.

The content of the assessment is uncertain, and there is no time limit, and if you meet the established standards, you will be approved and obtain the certification badge of the profession.

Different professions will formulate the assessment content according to the characteristics of their own profession, and the assessment form of combat ability is also flexible.

The Titan Empire has special strength assessment agencies in each province, so many cultivators have traveled thousands of miles to the south of the continent to participate in the assessment.

The power system soon swept the entire Starfall Continent, so much so that other countries and city-states began to follow this model and established organizations similar to those of the Military Aircraft Department, following the strength assessment system created by Rui Xiu.

This proposal has been tested for more than 50 years and has become a universally recognized rule.

When people in later generations mentioned Ruixiu, the first thing that came to mind was not the powerful prime minister with ruthless methods, nor the six-pointed star emblem symbolizing the strongest magic family, but the founder of the power system.

The ability to predict the future is not unique to astrologers, and the dark magic of the Merlin family can do the same.

After Merlin hid in the mountains and forests, Rui Xiu secretly assassinated the rest of the magicians of the Merlin family, and the Merlin family was completely destroyed.

After Caesar's death, he became even more unscrupulous, using the power of the head of the Magic Guild to order that dark magic be banned.

So astrology naturally replaced dark magic, and the six-pointed star also overshadowed the brightness of the five-pointed star, becoming a symbol of magical inheritance.
