Last update: May 31th 2016, with the help of pein cool. Thanks a lot to him!
Here, we will see what the ranking system in Shen Yin Wang Zuo is in depth.
The most important factor for determining one’s overall strength is his spiritual energy level. The higher it is, the stronger the person will be, and the higher he will be graded, in terms of step and rank of his vocation.
More precisely, the higher one’s step is (up to the 9th, ultimate step), the more powerful he is in terms of overall power, and the higher one’s rank is, the more powerful he is compared to those of the same step.
Of course this is merely the power brought by the spiritual energy and there are other factors, like the ‘Spiritual Stoves’ that enable one to use additional and specific abilities, or the ‘mental strength/capacity’ that greatly contributes, for a knight, to his growth and increases the power of his abilities related to the holy element together with the grasp his has on the Ten Standards of a Knight.
Here are the details we already know about the ranking system of knights:
there are ten ranks for each of the nine steps, and a rank is reached when one reaches the required spiritual energy level for it.

Legend:
n) Step N
SE: rank1, rank2, rank3, rank4, rank5, rank6, rank7, rank8, rank9, rank10
for magical beasts the rank n is equivalent to a human step n-1. Ex: a magical beast of rank 6 has the strength of a human or demon powerhouse of step 5

KNIGHT TEMPLE
Details:
1) Knight Squire
SE: 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
2) Standard Knight – Choice: Guardian Knight or Retribution Knight
SE: 101-110, 120, 130, 140, 150, 160, 170, 180, 190, 200
3) Genuine Knight
SE: 201-210, 240, 270, 300, 330, 360, 390, 420, 450, 500
4) Grand Knight
SE: 501, 550, 700, 850, 1150, 1300, 1450, 1600, 1750, 2000
5) Earth Knight

6) Radiant Knight
SE: 4001 (…) 10000
7) Temple Knight
SE: 10001 (…) 30000
8) Saint Knight
SE: 30001 (…) 99999
9) Divine Knight
SE: 100001 (…) 999999
10) 1,000,000
If IISE >= 90, ascends to a god’s level. Otherwise???
Note: When one reaches the last rank of his step (100, 200, 500…), an examination is required to pass, to be officially recognized as a knight of the next step.
Notes: the SE levels above are a person’s own SE levels, that means, without any magical equipments, with equipments the rank will still be the same even though that person has the potential of higher ranks. Example #3: If a Knight with SE level of 750 (Grand Knight 2nd rank) is wearing a SE level 200 armor, his total SE will be 950, but his SE level will still be Grand Knight 2nd rank, only his potential will be that of Grand Knight 3rd rank. It’s like your MP + your equipments’ MP = your total MP in a game.
For other vocations, the spiritual energy level required to raise one’s step and rank are probably similar, but the names of the steps differ.
