CHAPTER 52: CHAPTER 46: GLORY STAR

In the beginning, the three of Elder Jiang found Lin Feng’s actions somewhat laughable, but soon, they couldn’t laugh anymore.

Because they discovered that Lin Feng’s execution of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques was not only fast but had more flair than their own.

Being able to demonstrate flair in the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques is extremely rare among high school students.

As Lin Feng constantly changed his movements, a sudden "bang" sound came from inside his body, deep and resounding like a bowstring being pulled, three times in succession, followed by a creaking sound, and then a series of crisp crackling noises.

"Interesting!"

Elder Jiang’s previously cloudy eyes slightly brightened; Lin Feng had now reached the fifteenth form, starting to temper his skeletal structure.

Managing to perform up to the fifteenth form at sixteen is one in a million.

As far as he knew, Body Cultivators of the Ninth Rank absolutely couldn’t accomplish this; even Ye Qiu couldn’t do it.

Only by surpassing the Ninth Rank Body Cultivator to become a First Grade Martial Artist could one possibly reach the fifteenth form.

Breaking through to become a Martial Artist in senior year, out of the million graduating high school students in Jiang City, perhaps only a dozen could do it.

And of these dozen or so, the vast majority are likely children of great families and large conglomerates bathed in Heaven and Earth Spirit Liquid since birth, with elders meticulously preparing precious medicinal baths for Foundation Establishment, along with endless pill resources for cultivation and private martial arts instructors imparting experience, essentially propelling them forward through sheer resources.

"Is this a top-level genius?"

The girl who had been quietly making tea without a word finally understood why the heads of the three major S-rank clubs would be interested in Lin Feng.

"Huh?"

When Lin Feng reached the 17th form, Zhang Ling, already quite shocked, could no longer maintain her composure and exclaimed out loud.

At the 20th form, as Lin Feng’s breathing became slower, continuous, and profound, the eyes of the onlookers were filled with astonishment and disbelief.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s exposed skin was faintly red, emitting heat, even steam rising, a sign of reaching the 21st form.

"How is that possible?"

The three of Elder Jiang could no longer remain calm, suddenly standing up, staring at Lin Feng as if seeing a monster.

No wonder they were so shocked.

Generally, high school seniors at most reach the fourteenth form of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques; achieving this means almost reaching the Ninth Rank of Body Cultivation.

The 21st form of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques already begins to temper the internal organs, something typically only achievable for Fourth Grade Martial Artists.

Yet Lin Feng was still only an Eighth Rank Body Cultivator, how could they not be amazed?

Not only that, Lin Feng’s movements were very fluid, even more so than theirs performing the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques, suggesting that Lin Feng was even more skilled and efficient at it than they were.

"What a martial arts genius!"

At this moment, Elder Jiang couldn’t help but lament in awe.

As a Fifth Grade Martial Artist, with his strength and age, he could only practice up to the 28th form.

As the foundation of martial arts, the key to the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques is summarized in one word—control.

Control over the body and mind.

But saying it is one thing; doing it is quite difficult.

A high school student having such exquisite control over their body and mind is unprecedented.

It was only at this point that they understood why Lin Feng’s combat talent was so terrifying.

With such control over his body and mind, how could his combat talent not be exceptional?

At this time, they no longer doubted that Lin Feng could break through to become a Martial Artist within three months.

Reaching the 21st form of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques, with sufficient resources to aid his cultivation, Lin Feng’s Qi and Blood growth rate would be over ten times that of his peers.

"So he was hiding his talent!"

At this moment, Zhang Ling no longer doubted Lin Feng’s martial arts talent.

If he weren’t hiding his talent, Lin Feng might already be a Martial Artist, and with resource assistance, achieving Second Grade wouldn’t be impossible.

For some reason, Zhang Ling suddenly thought of the Song of Solomon; if the girl knew of Lin Feng’s outstanding talent, who knows what kind of expression she would have.

"As long as his Soul Cultivation talent is confirmed, spare no cost."

At this moment, Jiang Jun slightly clenched his fist, a hard-to-detect craving flickered in his eyes.

Lin Feng’s combat talent already delighted him, wanting to sign him into the club.

Although Wind-Grabbing Team has maintained the aura of a super strong team throughout the development of the Glory Alliance, consistently achieving excellent results rarely falling out of the top three, it relied precisely on coordination.

The perfect coordination of tactics and team member talent and ability.

Every member of Wind-Grabbing Team, individually, wasn’t considered outstanding in the league, and single members might not even match the substitutes of Juxing Team.

Yet, even so, the five team members, including their professions and combat styles, the selection and combination of Demon Spirits, and the growth direction and skills of those spirits, were thoroughly researched, handpicked, and shaped into the perfect form by the club team.

When Wind-Grabbing took on Juxing, they won more than they lost, yet in one-on-one scenarios, Juxing could overpower Wind-Grabbing.

As Zhang Ling said, even though Wind-Grabbing is very strong in scores, they don’t have any real All-Star players.

In the world Glory battle, which happens every four years, Wind-Grabbing hasn’t had a member selected for the national team for seven consecutive rounds.

Not even mentioning the world stage, in the glory league’s grandest local event, the annual All-Star game, Wind-Grabbing hasn’t had a player selected in recent years, which is extremely embarrassing for Wind-Grabbing.

Every time the All-Star game comes around, facing the dissatisfaction and expectations of local fans, Wind-Grabbing feels immense pressure.

Currently, Juxing Team holds two of the top ten Glory All-Stars, the Berserker Ye Xing and the Little Thunder God Xie Yixiao.

Even Thunder, whose performance is far less than Wind-Grabbing, has one: the team captain, Double Blade Yun Tianqi.

As an old veteran strong team, Wind-Grabbing has none, which results in good performance but fewer fans, attracting less attention outside of local fans.

This is why Wind-Grabbing hasn’t attracted much investment and attention from major capitals.

Although Wind-Grabbing is not short of money, with the rapid development of the Glory League, Wind-Grabbing is beginning to feel somewhat out of place with the league; nowadays, many top-level geniuses aren’t as willing to join Wind-Grabbing.

Despite Wind-Grabbing’s decent track record, some youth teams within the club lack a fresh influx of talent, as many gifted youths consider Juxing first, prompting apprehension among upper management that if they continue this trend, within five years, the team’s future performance will sharply decline.

Thus, the club urgently needs to change the team’s condition.

The club needs to cultivate its own All-Star players.

However, such rare talents who possess both skill and the potential to lead the team to victory have been difficult to find. The club has tried nurturing a few over the years, but all attempts ended in failure.

In Jiang Jun’s eyes, Lin Feng already possesses the potential to become an All-Star in the league.

Every member of the Glory Team is a genius of talent and skill, but not every genius can become one of the top ten Glory All-Stars.

To be among the top ten Glory All-Stars, besides having absolute skill, they must also have the ability to drive fans crazy.

Undoubtedly, Lin Feng’s combat talent and his level-crossing, frontal hard-fi fighting style is what excites audiences the most.

Additionally, Lin Feng’s handsome appearance is also an advantage.

Although in the Glory League, skill is valued, given equal skill and talent, naturally, the one with the appearance advantage is cultivated.

To Jiang Jun, as long as Lin Feng can refine a Demon Spirit, even if it’s just an Intermediate one, the club will fully support him, helping evolve it into an Advanced Demon Spirit. At that time, Lin Feng will become the star of the Wind-Grabbing Team.
