The Embroidered Uniform Guard: The Greater My Power, the Greater My Manhood

The so-called nine-rank martial path is divided into three realms:

Ranks nine through seven are the **Lower Three Ranks**. Practitioners train their basic inner force and temper their bodies, but their skills are still rudimentary.

Ranks six through four are the **Middle Three Ranks**. True qi turns to liquid, circulates through the meridians, and opens every acupoint. Practitioners at this level can already be called “experts.”

Ranks three through one are the **Upper Three Ranks**. Every step forward is like climbing to the heavens, with each rank its own new realm. At rank one, a wave of the hand can split stone and one can walk over snow without leaving a trace, approaching the realm of an earthly immortal!
