The Upper Three Grades

"Fourth Grade?"

Bai Pu was a little surprised. Fourth Grade still belonged to the mid-grade True Intents.

"What standard determines a True Intent's grade?" Bai Pu asked.

Li Yan crossed her arms and said:

"The bottom three grades of True Intent are all condensed from a single Mystery. For example, condensing the ordinary Earth Mystery into 'Earth True Intent' makes it Ninth Grade; condensing the rare Metal Mystery into 'Metal True Intent' makes it Eighth Grade; condensing the supreme Mountain Shattering Mystery into 'Mountain Shattering True Intent' makes it Seventh Grade.

"The middle three grades of True Intent are condensed by combining two Mysteries. Two ordinary Mysteries combine into Sixth Grade, such as 'Wind Fire True Intent'; two rare Mysteries combine into Fifth Grade; two supreme Mysteries combine into Fourth Grade."

Hearing this, Bai Pu raised a question. "If one rare Mystery and one supreme Mystery are combined, would the resulting True Intent be Fifth Grade or Fourth Grade?"

"Fifth Grade. For example, Molten Metal True Intent is formed from Burning Profound Truth combined with the Metal Mystery, making it a Fifth Grade True Intent. Another example is Vibrating Metal True Intent, which combines Wave Profound Truth and the Metal Mystery."

Li Yan said, "This is the so-called barrel theory. The weaker Mystery among the two determines the True Intent's grade. Of course, a True Intent formed from a supreme and a rare Mystery is definitely stronger than one formed from two rare Mysteries. Even if both are Fifth Grade True Intents, there is still a difference."

Bai Pu nodded, then asked, "What about the upper three grades of True Intent? Are they formed by combining three Mysteries?"

Li Yan said, "A Third Grade True Intent is formed from three supreme Mysteries, but one of them must be a Special
