Rising from the Ashes (Andrew and Lauren) novel Chapter 1871

Back when Andrew first glanced at the token in a hurry, all he saw were tightly packed tiny characters, impossible to make out clearly. Now he finally had the chance to study it thoroughly.

The first thing that caught his eye was two words at the beginning: Inferno Strike.

Andrew's heart stirred as he wondered if this was a martial arts technique. He had no idea what material this token was made from, but it was very light yet constantly felt warm to the touch.

This was definitely not ordinary material.

Andrew focused intently as he read through each tiny character on the token. Finally, he let out a long breath. He was absolutely certain now that this was indeed a martial art technique, and it was a Heavenly-tier one.

In other words, it was a technique reserved for the top tier of martial mastery.

Martial art techniques could be roughly divided into four levels: Heavenly, Earthly, Obscure, and Mortal.

Mortal-tier techniques were fairly common, including basic stuff like military combat forms and standardized close-quarters techniques.

Obscure-tier techniques were much rarer, including techniques like Twelve Shadows Leg Art and Blade of Mad Demons. Many martial artists who reached the martial king level would know some Obscure-tier forms.

Earthly-tier techniques could serve as the crown jewels of major sects. Every single Earthly-tier technique was an undisputed treasure. Examples included the poison arts of the Advanced Medical Institute and the Divine Eighteen Palms of Mistveil Peak.

Meanwhile, Heavenly-tier techniques were extraordinarily rare and could only be encountered by chance. In Holtrien's current martial world, whenever a Heavenly-tier technique appeared, it would inevitably trigger bloodshed and chaos.

Even among the thousand-year-old noble houses and royal bloodlines of Chetvine, Heavenly-tier martial arts were one of the foundations that kept families standing for millennia.
