CHAPTER 53: CHAPTER 47: WATER ATTRIBUTE

The shock of Elder Jiang and the others did not surprise Lin Feng.

This is still him holding back; otherwise, he could accomplish the 27th style.

The 27th style of the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques is also the limit that Elder Jiang can reach.

In Lin Feng’s view, being able to perform the 21st style at the eighth rank of body cultivation is enough to astonish, even frighten everyone.

Not saying there will be none to come later, but at least there were none before!

If he directly performed the 27th style, it would be too demonic, attracting some trouble and unnecessary suspicion!

"Is this enough proof now?"

Lin Feng adjusted his collar, his expression calm and confident, deliberately displaying the unique arrogance of a peerless genius.

"Lin Feng really surprises us over and over again!"

Even as Lin Feng stood up, a look of surprise still lingered in Elder Jiang’s eyes.

In today’s society where martial arts are widespread, there are two points to determine if a person has martial arts talent.

First: Constitution.

Some people are naturally strong and vigorous, meaning their cultivation speed is naturally faster, especially for students in the body cultivation realm.

Second: Affinity for spiritual power.

Which is the amount of spiritual power absorbed in the same amount of time after practicing a cultivation technique.

The affinity for spiritual power can only be known after breaking through to become a martial artist.

Lin Feng is currently at the eighth rank of body cultivation, and among his peers, with the Thirty-Six Body Refining Techniques, his speed of qi and blood growth is probably unmatched.

As for the second point, regarding affinity for spiritual power, it is still unknown as he has not yet practiced a cultivation technique.

But generally, the more vigorous the qi and blood, the stronger the body, the faster the absorption of spiritual power.

This means even if Lin Feng’s affinity for spiritual power is average, his vigorous qi and blood can perfectly make up the difference.

Of course, there are also examples where one’s cultivation speed is fast in the body cultivation realm but slows down after breaking through to become a martial artist, but such examples are rare, and generally, the difference in spiritual power affinity is not large.

Elder Jiang does not believe Lin Feng’s affinity would be poor.

Someone who can control his body so perfectly must have an innate advantage in cultivating techniques.

So, there’s no doubt that Lin Feng is a martial arts genius.

"Lin Feng, can we test your soul cultivation talent next?" Elder Jiang asked with a smile.

"If Lin Feng’s soul cultivation talent allows for the refinement of advanced demon spirits, Wind-Grabbing is willing to offer an S-level contract!" At this point, Jiang Jun couldn’t help but say.

An S-level contract is a contract as a main team member, with an annual salary starting at over a hundred million New Coins.

Wind-Grabbing has less than ten with S-level contracts; this is actually beyond the branch manager’s authority, but he believes Lin Feng is worth it.

Upon hearing this, Elder Jiang suddenly looked at Jiang Jun, his previously maintained smile disappearing instantly, revealing dissatisfaction.

At this moment, Jiang Jun was the first to make an offer, obviously breaking the rules, especially in the Thunder Martial Arts Dojo, his territory!

"Hehe!"

Jiang Jun awkwardly laughed and didn’t say more. He knew it wasn’t according to the rules, but he couldn’t control it.

Wind-Grabbing desperately needed a leading star.

If he could recommend Lin Feng to the club, besides receiving a generous reward, his name would also go down in the history of Wind-Grabbing.

"Why is Manager Jiang so impulsive?" Zhang Ling gave Jiang Jun a mocking look.

She had long been displeased with Jiang Jun and would be pleased to drive him away.

Realizing his mistake, Jiang Jun glared at Zhang Ling but said nothing more.

"How do you prove soul cultivation talent?"

Lin Feng asked calmly, showing no emotion on the surface, but inside, his heart was slightly tense.

His Soul Sea was not exactly blocked, but his soul power was pitifully low, making his soul cultivation talent trash; he didn’t even have the strength to refine a first-grade demon spirit.

Calling him to test?

Even though Lin Feng was prepared, he could not predict whether any flaws would be exposed.

"My spiritual power inside has long been exhausted, making it impossible to perform Soul Spirit Transformation. Although some qi and blood have recovered, I definitely cannot perform Sealing Evil Seal. How to pass the test?" Lin Feng thought to himself.

He knew that for the clubs in the Glory Alliance, soul cultivation talent was even more important than martial arts talent.

After all, martial arts talent can be compensated with resources, speeding up cultivation, but soul cultivation talent is hard to change; if the talent is too poor, even with Soul Crystals and Soul Nourishing Pills, they can’t improve soul power much.

"I want to ask, Lin Feng, given your soul power, what grade of demon spirit can you refine?"

Elder Jiang looked at Lin Feng, smiling as he asked.

"I’m not sure exactly, but I can confirm that I can refine a ninth-grade demon spirit; as for which level of the Earth Chart demon spirit can be refined, I’m not sure!" Lin Feng replied.

Elder Jiang nodded slightly.

This answer didn’t differ much from what was said on the forum.

If Lin Feng were very certain that he could directly refine an Earth Chart demon spirit, he would actually be suspicious.

After all, on Awakening Day, Earth Chart demon spirits are extremely rare, encounterable but not pursuable.

"What is your body attribute?" Elder Jiang continued to ask.

Martial artists can theoretically cultivate techniques of all attributes, only the speed of cultivation varies.

For example, if the speed of cultivating a fire attribute technique is the fastest, it indicates the person has a body more in harmony with the fire attribute, making cultivating fire techniques more effective.

For martial artists, the body attribute determines which attribute of cultivation techniques to practice.

For demon spirit masters, the body attribute determines which attribute of demon spirits can be refined; only demon spirits that match one’s body attribute can have their power maximized.

"Water attribute!"

Lin Feng naturally knew his own attribute.

In middle school, the school organized students to take a test.

The testing method is quite simple: touch an attribute stone imbued with attribute power, which emits light of different colors—red for fire, blue for water, yellow for earth...

Water attribute?

Upon learning Lin Feng’s body attribute is the water attribute, Elder Jiang and Jiang Jun showed no significant reaction on the surface, but Zhang Ling frowned slightly.

Every kind of technique is of a single attribute, as martial artists choose the cultivation technique that is most harmonious with their body attribute.

Yet the water attribute is acknowledged as the weakest among all attributes.

Particularly in the early stages, its power is weak to the point of being pitiful.

The water attribute lacks much offensive power; even in the mid-period, when water can be condensed to ice, it cannot compare to strong attack attributes like fire, gold, or thunder.

In the alliance, there are many glory players who cultivate water attribute techniques, but few become main members of a team.

Martial artists who cultivate water attribute techniques tend more towards the water series mage career path, as support to thunder series mages.

To call a combat talent as outstanding, and a born warrior like Lin Feng to be a water series mage assisting thunder techniques?

That would be too much of a waste, and the proud Lin Feng probably wouldn’t agree.

Upon discovering Lin Feng’s body attribute, Zhang Ling’s expectations for Lin Feng unconsciously diminished.

"Water series can also be very strong!"

Lin Feng seemed to notice the skepticism of the crowd and spoke confidently.

He naturally knew the water attribute is weaker in the early stages, far inferior to other attributes, which is an unchangeable fact.

But this does not mean the water attribute cannot become strong in the later stages. Water is ever-changing; in the later stages, condensing water into ice adds puncturing and cold ice attributes.

Moreover, his body is not limited to just one attribute.

Although attribute stones can only test the most harmonious attribute to the body, Lin Feng once tried cultivating techniques of various attributes in college.

His water attribute affinity was the strongest, thunder attribute second, gold attribute third, and other attribute affinities negligible.

If not cultivating water attribute, Lin Feng could completely cultivate the thunder attribute, which is the second most harmonious, just the speed of thunder attribute is not as fast as water attribute.

Most people would not choose that way as it is not worth the cost.

But for Lin Feng, this is not an issue.

The nightmare within him can speed up cultivation, and Lin Feng was not afraid of slow cultivation speed, but rather, afraid of cultivating too fast.

Lin Feng could even dual cultivate water and thunder series, becoming a rare dual-type profession in Glory!
