As a knight, Zhang Tie had only a rough sense of his own cultivation progress. Yet the knight crystal plate's second function could display every knight's current cultivation progress and rank.
A Black Iron Knight's knight crystal plate was blue. When condensing the second Earth Chakra, regardless of the cultivation method a Black Iron Knight practiced, the chakra's form could basically be classified as a circular geometric pattern on a plane. The only difference was that, depending on the cultivation method, some circular patterns were simple while others were complex. Since they were circular patterns, the circumference of every chakra was 360 degrees. In other words, broadly speaking, the condensation progress of all chakras could be divided into 360 tiny equal segments along the circumference. Completing the condensation of all 360 segments meant that the new chakra had been fully condensed, marking one's advance to the next knight rank and the ascent of another, higher peak.
These 360 equal segments of the circumference were the finer divisions of rank and cultivation progress within one's current knight level.
In the world of knights, the unit representing the chakra condensation progress of these 360 equal segments was called a scale—the scale of a dragon. Three hundred and sixty scales were the number of steps a Black Iron Knight had to climb to reach the lofty peak of an Earth Knight.
Because the progress of the chakra currently being condensed would be sensed and reflected on the knight crystal plate, every knight's crystal plate displayed the current condensation progress of their chakra.
There was a relief carving of a section of a dragon's body on the dragon-shaped crystal plate, and that relief had 360 tiny dragon scales. When Zhang Tie activated the knight crystal plate just now, one dragon scale on it lit
