"Graduates forming a hunting group?" Lin Qi was rather surprised when he heard that. "Can a Beginner Martial Artist like me join?"
A hunting group was not something one could form just because they wanted to. One had to possess the strength of the Bone Forging Realm before the Martial Artist Association would recognize the hunting group and provide it with intelligence on Advanced Grade and higher monsters for the group to hunt.
And for martial artists to join such hunting groups and hunt Advanced Grade and higher monsters, it was not as easy as casually teaming up with other martial artists in the wilderness. They could not simply join whenever they wanted.

They could be said to be the primary materials used by major cities to manufacture weapons and equipment.
At present, the highest-strength alloy that major cities could produce was C Grade Alloy. Since it could injure Lord-class Monsters, under the Association's weapon tier classification, first-tier weapons could injure monsters below Advanced Grade, while second-tier weapons could injure monsters below High Lord-class. Thus, weapons and equipment forged from C Grade Alloy were also called second-tier weapons.
However, the raw ore needed to make C Grade Alloy was incomparably scarce. Even in major cities, there were not many second-tier weapons and pieces of equipment made from C Grade
