Power Progression

Stage / Realm / Level Chapter Notes
Qi sensing — first step 37 Diya first senses qi concealed beneath his skin and within his muscles after his mental strength improves.
Qi control — second step 37 He guides qi through all 639 muscles, establishing a complete circulation rather than confining it to one muscle.
Gathering — third step 52 Diya begins gathering qi into masses within his muscles; his spiritual power lets him mobilize Battle Qi throughout his body at once.
Smooth-flow basic Battle Qi 53 His low-grade, attribute-less Battle Qi becomes smooth and responsive to his command.
High Guardian Rank Flame Battle Qi 108 A cultivation cycle raises Diya’s Flame Battle Qi from Low Guardian Rank to High Guardian Rank.
Peak Guardian Rank Flame Battle Qi 122 Diya can use the Fire-Infusion Sword Technique to coat his greatsword in Flame Battle Qi despite being below Spirit Grade.
Spirit Grade 128 Diya can channel Battle Qi into his greatsword without relying on a sword technique.
Peak Spirit Rank 146 Acquiring Thunder Battle Qi and the Rushing Thunder Sword brings his cultivation to Peak Spirit Rank.
Lower General Rank 161 Diya’s mixed fire-and-lightning Battle Qi forms armor, though its defensive strength remains limited at this rank.
Upper Master Rank — fire and lightning 260 Both elemental Battle Qi reserves reach Upper Master Rank and become roughly ten times purer than before.
One-fifth fused Annihilation Battle Qi 270 One-fifth of his total Battle Qi is fused through Sword Battle Qi into Annihilation Battle Qi; its output exceeds his body’s handling capacity if used freely.
Mid King Grade 380 Diya reveals Mid King Grade Battle Qi during his application to teach at Tax Academy.
Upper Emperor Rank Annihilation Battle Qi 501 His quantity rises from Middle Emperor Rank to Upper Emperor Rank, while its purity doubles through the Qi Condensation Art.
Peak Emperor Rank 539 Diya reaches the peak of Emperor Rank after accelerated cultivation aided by a new potion.
Saint Rank — Battle Flame 562 His remaining Annihilation Battle Qi is compressed and transformed into Battle Flame, completing his Saint Rank advancement.

Cultivation Mechanics

Core principle

Aspect Details
Source Battle Qi develops the dormant energy contained within a person’s muscles, then gathers, fuses, and refines it into usable power 34
Physical requirement A stronger body contains more qi, withstands cultivation strain longer, and can develop Battle Qi faster 34 35
Mental requirement Mental strength improves the speed and precision of sensing, controlling, and gathering qi 35
Recovery Expended Battle Qi does not recover automatically; it must be cultivated again, though recovery is easier than initial development 34
Risk Excessive cultivation burdens the muscles; overusing powerful Battle Qi or techniques can injure the user through backlash 34 118

Cultivation stages

Stage Function
Sensing The cultivator focuses their mind on the muscles to perceive hidden qi and establish compatibility with it 34 35
Control The cultivator gradually guides qi to move according to their will; this requires patience because qi initially behaves unpredictably 35
Gathering Controlled qi is collected, stored, and distributed through the muscles for later use 35
Purification Higher-quality methods may refine Battle Qi, improving control and allowing greater power for less consumption 35

Entry conditions

  • Ordinary Warrior-rank fighters train their bodies and basic combat techniques but are not yet qualified to cultivate Battle Qi 16.
  • The ideal age to begin is thirteen to sixteen; beginning too early can harm the body, while beginning too late makes muscle-bound qi harder to develop 35.
  • An ordinary peak Soldier-rank cultivator may require about four years to sense, control, gather, and reach Guardian Rank with basic Battle Qi 35.
  • Higher-grade cultivation methods improve cultivation speed and Battle Qi purity, producing greater combat power 82.

Types and Variants

Type Properties Known examples
Basic attribute-less Battle Qi Uses only qi from the muscles; simple to cultivate but low-grade and limited in power 34 53 Diya’s first method from Carlos Library
Earth-element Battle Qi Solid and heavy; emphasizes physical strength and defense, making its users suited to tank roles 29 Benamolik’s earth-element cultivation 528
Wind-element Battle Qi Graceful and sharp; improves movement and attack speed and increases a weapon’s sharpness 29 Molande’s Wind-Reversing Battle Qi 414
Flame Battle Qi Draws free fire elements into the body; highly destructive but places a greater burden on the cultivator’s muscles 88 Diya’s Flame Battle Qi; Bonnie’s Fire-Infusion Sword Technique 88 118
Thunder Battle Qi Lightning-element Battle Qi with destructive and speed-oriented qualities 188 Great Thunder Annihilation Battle Qi 191 197
Sword Battle Qi A non-elemental special-attribute form defined by extreme sharpness and concentration; especially effective when wielding swords 236 Sword Horizon Sect cultivation method 236 237
Annihilation Battle Qi A fusion of lightning, fire, and Sword Battle Qi traits; its destructive power can repeatedly shatter a weapon infused with even a small amount 251 Diya’s personal Battle Qi 270 414
Blood Battle Qi A sinister blood-based form that affects the circulation of blood in nearby victims and can absorb blood to strengthen its user 497 Iron Wolf Group’s cultivation scroll 497
Unranked Battle Qi Battle Qi that surpasses the advanced grade and cannot be conventionally classified 414 Annihilation Battle Qi; Wind-Reversing Battle Qi 414

Applications and Limits

Body and weapon enhancement

  • Battle Qi strengthens the body as it circulates through the muscles and can be released in conjunction with martial techniques 34 128.
  • Elemental Battle Qi absorbs compatible free elements from the environment, allowing stronger and more destructive attacks than attribute-less Battle Qi 88.
  • Battle Qi can be infused into weapons to increase their destructive power; Starfall Meteoric Iron is valued for improving Battle Qi conduction in equipment 180.
  • A conventional rule holds that Battle Qi cannot be extended into a weapon before Spirit Grade, though Diya bypasses this restriction through the Fire-Infusion Sword Technique while at Guardian Rank 118 122.

External release and defense

  • Guardian-rank Diya can explosively vent Battle Qi beneath his feet for instantaneous movement, but cannot properly project it outward and risks injuring his feet 109.
  • Battle Qi can form protective armor around the body; Diya combines fire and lightning Battle Qi to increase the armor’s power severalfold 161.
  • At Saint Rank, compressed Battle Qi becomes nearly solid Battle Flame rather than its earlier gaseous form 288 539.
  • Battle Qi can drive ranged techniques such as Battle Qi Slashes and Battle Qi-infused arrows, as well as activate magic weapons 405 645.

Annihilation Battle Qi

  • Sword Battle Qi acts as a neutral medium for balancing and fusing Diya’s equal-quality lightning and fire Battle Qi without causing elemental disorder 251.
  • Annihilation Battle Qi is several times stronger than Diya’s prior lightning-and-fire combination and can overwhelm equal quantities of dragon power 251 270.
  • Its destructive output places exceptional demands on the user’s body; Diya initially has to slow its circulation to avoid harming himself 270.
  • By later tempering his body, Diya becomes able to circulate all of his available Annihilation Battle Qi freely 279.

Blood Battle Qi

  • Its foundational cultivation requires consuming raw meat and fresh blood to extract special energy; completing the rudiments requires at least twenty years of daily training under the recorded method 497.
  • When activated, it creates blood mist that disrupts others’ blood circulation and draws blood from injured targets within its range 497.
  • A Saint-rank user develops a Blood Domain and can transform into blood; survival is possible so long as even one drop remains 497.
  • Cultivators must consume fresh blood daily or suffer backlash, effectively becoming dependent on blood 497.
  • Fire-Infusion Sword Technique — Circulates Flame Battle Qi along and around a sword blade, increasing destructive power while reducing continuous consumption through a returning flow 122 137.
  • Explosive Flame Sword Technique — Detonates Battle Qi through the hands and feet to add explosive force to a thrust; its strongest form can exceed four times Diya’s ordinary strike, but leaves him vulnerable for about a second 109 110.
  • Qi Condensation Art — An auxiliary method derived from Blood Battle Qi’s refinement principles; it condenses and purifies existing Battle Qi or magic power but cannot be used by someone with no power to refine 501.
  • Evil-Breaking Slash — A Sword Battle Qi technique available from General Rank onward 237.
  • Aurora Slash — A Sword Battle Qi technique requiring King Rank 237.
  • Annihilation Slash — A large-scale Sword Battle Qi technique requiring Emperor Rank because of its extreme consumption; at profound mastery, it is said to be capable of annihilating space 237.
