At first, Elder Jiang and the other two found Lin Feng's actions somewhat amusing, but they soon couldn't laugh anymore.
This was because they discovered that Lin Feng's Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining were not only fast but even more refined than their own.
To perform the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining with such refinement was extremely rare among high school students.
As Lin Feng continued to change his movements, a "bang" suddenly echoed from within his body, a low sound like drawing a bowstring, followed by three consecutive sounds, then a creaking and grinding noise, and finally a series of crisp cracking sounds.
"Interesting!"
Elder Jiang's originally cloudy eyes brightened slightly. Lin Feng had now reached the fifteenth form and was beginning to temper the bones within his body.
To reach the fifteenth form of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining at the age of sixteen was one in a hundred thousand.
As far as he knew, someone at the Body Cultivation Ninth Stage absolutely could not achieve this, meaning even Ye Qiu couldn't.
Only by breaking through the Body Cultivation Ninth Stage and becoming a First-Rank Martial Artist was it possible to reach the fifteenth form.
To break through and become a Martial Artist in their final year of high school, out of the millions of third-year students in Jiang City, there were likely only a dozen or so.
And these dozen or so individuals were most likely the children of prominent families and large corporations. From birth, they were bathed in Heaven and Earth Spiritual Liquid, meticulously prepared with precious medicinal baths by elders from a young age to build their foundation, supplemented by an endless supply of medicinal pills, and guided by private Martial Arts instructors, their cultivation was purely a result of being heavily invested in with resources.
"Is this what a top genius looks like?"
The young girl who had been quietly making tea finally understood why the leaders of the three S-Class Clubs were interested in Lin Feng.
"Ah?"
When Lin Feng reached the seventeenth form, Zhang Ling, who was already surprised, could no longer maintain her composure and let out a cry of astonishment.
At the twentieth form, as Lin Feng's breathing became slower and deeper, a look of shock and disbelief spread across the faces of the onlookers.
At this point, Lin Feng's exposed skin had a faint reddish hue, and his entire body emitted heat, with even steam rising, a sign of the twenty-first form.
"How is this possible?"
Elder Jiang and the other two could no longer remain calm. They abruptly stood up, their gazes fixed on Lin Feng as if they were looking at a monster.
It was no wonder they were so shocked.
Generally speaking, third-year high school students could at most reach the fourteenth form of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining. Those who could reach this stage had almost all attained the Body Cultivation Ninth Stage.
The twenty-first form of the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining had already begun to temper the internal organs, a feat that many Fourth-Rank Martial Artists could achieve.
Yet, Lin Feng was only at the Body Cultivation Eighth Stage, which naturally shocked them.
Not only that, but Lin Feng's movements were very fluid, even more so than when they performed the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining. This meant that Lin Feng's Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining were more proficient and effective than theirs.
"A true Martial Arts genius!"
At this moment, Elder Jiang couldn't help but exclaim with a sigh.
As a Fifth-Rank Martial Artist, with his strength and age, he could only practice up to the twenty-eighth form.
As the foundation of Martial Arts, the key to the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining can be summarized as control.
Controlling the body and mind.
But it was easy to say and difficult to do.
He had never heard of a high school student having such precise control over their body and mind.
It was only at this moment that they understood why Lin Feng's combat talent was so terrifying.
To control their body and mind to such an extent, what was a little bit of combat talent in comparison?
At this point, they no longer doubted Lin Feng's ability to break through to become a Martial Artist within three months.
With the Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining reaching the twenty-first form, as long as he had sufficient resources to aid his cultivation, Lin Feng's Qi and Blood would increase at a rate more than ten times faster than others his age.
"He truly hid his talent!"
At this moment, Zhang Ling no longer doubted Lin Feng's Martial Arts talent.
If he hadn't hidden his talent, Lin Feng would likely have already become a Martial Artist by now, and with the aid of resources, even becoming a Second-Rank Martial Artist wouldn't be impossible.
For some reason, Zhang Ling suddenly thought of Yage. If the young girl knew that Lin Feng's talent was so outstanding, she wondered what her expression would be.
"As long as his Soul Cultivation talent is confirmed, spare no expense."
At this moment, Jiang Jun clenched his fists slightly, a flicker of imperceptible desire in his eyes.
Lin Feng's combat talent had already surprised him greatly, making him want to sign him to the club.
Although the Zephyr Team had maintained its reputation as a super team since the Glory Alliance's development, with excellent Glory achievements every year and rarely falling out of the top three positions, maintaining their record relied on coordination.
Perfect coordination between tactics and the talent of the team members.
Each member of the Zephyr Team was not particularly outstanding in the league. Individually, they might not even be as good as the substitute players of Star Gathering.
Even so, the five members of the team, their professions and combat styles, their choice and pairing of Demon Spirits, as well as the growth direction and skills of the Demon Spirits, were all meticulously researched and carefully selected by the club's team, resulting in a perfect combination.
Zephyr had won more than they lost against Star Gathering, but in one-on-one matchups, Star Gathering could easily defeat Zephyr.
As Zhang Ling had said, although Zephyr's achievements were strong, they did not have any true All-Star players.
In the World Battle of Glory, held once every four years, Zephyr had not had a member selected for the national team for seven consecutive sessions.
Not to mention the world stage, even domestically, in the Glory Alliance's most grand event, the annual All-Star Game, Zephyr had not had any players selected in recent years, which was an extremely embarrassing situation for Zephyr.
Every time the All-Star Game approached, facing the dissatisfaction and expectations of the fans in their city, the Zephyr Team felt immense pressure.
Currently, the Glory Alliance's top ten All-Stars included two from the Star Gathering Team: Berserker Ye Xing and Little Thunder God Xie Yixiao.
Even Thunderclap, whose performance was far inferior to Zephyr's, had one representative: their captain, Twin Blades Yun Tianqi.
Despite being an established powerhouse, Zephyr had none. This resulted in fewer fans, even though their record was excellent. Aside from local supporters, the team's matches didn't garner much attention.
Consequently, Zephyr struggled to attract major investments and attention from large corporations.
Although Zephyr wasn't short on funds, with the rapid development of the Glory Alliance, they began to fall behind. Many top-tier talents were no longer eager to join Zephyr.
While the Zephyr Team's performance remained solid, their youth teams lacked fresh blood. Talented youngsters were now prioritizing Star Gathering. The club's higher-ups began to worry that if they continued in their current style, the team's future performance would decline sharply within five years.
Therefore, the club desperately needed to change the team's status quo.
The club needed to cultivate its own All-Star players.
However, players with both strength and talent, who could also lead the team to victory, were extremely rare. The club had attempted to cultivate a few over the years, but all efforts ended in failure.
In Jiang Jun's eyes, Lin Feng already possessed the potential to become an Alliance All-Star.
Every member of a Glory Team was a genius with both talent and strength, but not every genius could become one of the Glory Alliance's top ten All-Stars.
To become one of the top ten All-Stars, in addition to absolute strength, they also needed the ability to captivate fans.
Undoubtedly, Lin Feng's combat talent, his style of fighting opponents of higher ranks and engaging in direct confrontations, was what made the audience most excited.
Furthermore, Lin Feng's handsome appearance was also an advantage.
While the Glory Alliance valued strength, given equal strength and talent, they would naturally choose to nurture the one with a more advantageous appearance.
For Jiang Jun, as long as Lin Feng could refine a Demon Spirit, even a mid-level one, the club would fully support him. They could also help him evolve it into a high-level Demon Spirit. At that point, Lin Feng would become the star ace of the Zephyr Team.
