Shaolins are a class of professional Monks who focus on the strength of their fists. They depend on the pure strength of their body and mind. Shaolins never use weapons, even against enemies protected by heavy suits of armor. It is said that a legendary shaolin carved the huge statue on Beuritania's highest mountain with his bare fist.

[edit] How to become a Shaolin

When a Monk becomes level 30, he/she can choose to become an Counter or a Shaolin. (the Second Class Change)
