For the shock of Elder Jiang and the other two, Lin Feng wasn't surprised.

This was him holding back; otherwise, he could have reached the 27th form.

The 27th form of Body Cultivation was also the limit Elder Jiang could achieve.

In Lin Feng's opinion, reaching the 21st form of Body Cultivation at the Eighth Stage of Body Cultivation was enough to shock everyone, even to the point of awe.

Not necessarily unprecedented, but at least no one before him had achieved it!

If he had directly reached the 27th form, it would have been too monstrous and would have attracted trouble and unnecessary suspicion!

"Is this enough proof?"

Lin Feng straightened his collar, his expression calm and confident, deliberately displaying the aloofness unique to a peerless genius.

"Student Lin Feng, you continuously exceed our expectations!"

Even though Lin Feng had already stood up, Elder Jiang's eyes still held a trace of surprise as he exclaimed.

In today's modern society where Martial Arts had become widespread, there were two points used to judge a person's martial arts talent.

First: Physique.

Some people were naturally robust with abundant Qi and Blood, naturally progressing faster in cultivation, especially for students in the Body Cultivation realm.

Second: Affinity for Spiritual Energy.

This referred to the amount of Spiritual Energy absorbed within the same timeframe after practicing a cultivation technique.

Affinity for Spiritual Energy could only be determined after breaking through to become a Martial Artist.

Lin Feng, currently at the Eighth Stage of Body Cultivation, with his Thirty-Six Forms of Body Refining, his Qi and Blood growth rate was likely unmatched among his peers.

As for the second point, affinity for Spiritual Energy, it was still unknown as he hadn't practiced any cultivation techniques yet.

However, generally speaking, the more abundant the Qi and Blood and the stronger the body, the faster the absorption of Spiritual Energy would be.

This meant that even if Lin Feng's affinity for Spiritual Energy was average, his abundant Qi and Blood could perfectly compensate for the gap.

Of course, there were a few cases where individuals cultivated quickly in the Body Cultivation realm but progressed slowly after becoming Martial Artists, but such cases were rare, and generally, the difference in affinity for Spiritual Energy wasn't significant.

Elder Jiang didn't believe Lin Feng's affinity would be poor.

Lin Feng, who could control his body so perfectly, likely had a unique advantage in practicing cultivation techniques as well.

Therefore, it was beyond doubt that Lin Feng was a martial arts genius.

"Student Lin Feng, do we just need to test your Soul Cultivation talent?" Elder Jiang asked with a smile.

"If student Lin Feng's Soul Cultivation talent allows him to refine high-level Demon Spirits, then Windchaser is willing to offer an S-class contract!" Jiang Jun couldn't help but say at this moment.

An S-class contract was a contract for a main team member, with an annual salary starting from over a hundred million New Dollars.

Windchaser had no more than ten people with S-class contracts. In reality, this already exceeded the authority of the branch manager, but he believed Lin Feng was worth it.

As soon as these words were spoken, Elder Jiang immediately looked towards Jiang Jun, his smile, which he had maintained all along, suddenly disappeared, replaced by a look of displeasure.

At this moment, Jiang Jun making the first offer clearly broke the rules, especially within the Thunder Martial Arts Hall, his territory!

"Heh heh!"

Jiang Jun chuckled awkwardly and said no more. He naturally knew it was against the rules, but he couldn't control himself.

Windchaser desperately needed a star player.

If he could recommend Lin Feng to the club, besides generous rewards, his name would also be recorded in Windchaser's history.

"Why is Manager Jiang being so impulsive?" Zhang Ling glanced at Jiang Jun and taunted.

She had long disliked Jiang Jun, and it would be great if she could get rid of him.

Knowing he had made a mistake, Jiang Jun glared at Zhang Ling but didn't say anything further.

"How can I prove my Soul Cultivation talent?"

Lin Feng asked calmly, his expression unreadable, but his heart tightened slightly.

His Soul Sea wasn't exactly blocked, but his Soul Power was pitifully low, making his Soul Cultivation talent practically garbage. He didn't even have the strength to refine a first-grade Demon Spirit.

Asking him to test?

Although Lin Feng had prepared himself mentally, he couldn't predict whether he would expose his weakness.

My Spiritual Energy is already depleted, I can't use Spirit Transformation. My Qi and Blood have recovered somewhat, but I definitely can't use the Evil Sealing Seal. How can I pass the test? Lin Feng thought to himself.

He knew that for clubs in the Glory Alliance, Soul Cultivation talent was even more important than Martial Arts talent.

After all, Martial Arts talent could be compensated with resources to speed up cultivation, but Soul Cultivation talent was difficult to change. Even with treasures like Soul Crystals and Soul Nurturing Pills, those with poor talent couldn't significantly increase their Soul Power.

"I'd like to ask, student Lin Feng, with your Soul Power, what level of Demon Spirit can you refine?"

Elder Jiang looked at Lin Feng and asked with a smile.

"I don't know the specifics, but I can confirm that I can refine a ninth-grade Demon Spirit. As for the Demon Spirits on the Earth Ranking, I'm not sure which level I can refine!" Lin Feng replied.

Elder Jiang nodded slightly.

This answer didn't differ much from what was said on the forums.

If Lin Feng had confidently stated he could directly refine a Demon Spirit from the Earth Ranking, he would have found it rather perplexing.

After all, Demon Spirits on the Earth Ranking were exceptionally rare on Awakening Day, a matter of chance rather than certainty.

"Then what is your body's attribute?" Elder Jiang continued to ask.

Martial Artists, in principle, could cultivate techniques of all attributes, with varying speeds of progress.

For instance, if one cultivated Fire Attribute techniques the fastest, it indicated a natural affinity for the Fire Attribute, making cultivation of Fire Attribute techniques twice as effective.

For Martial Artists, their body's attribute determined which attribute techniques they could cultivate.

For Demon Spirit Masters, their body's attribute determined which attribute Demon Spirits they could refine. Only Demon Spirits that matched their body's attribute could have their power maximized.

"Water Attribute!"

Lin Feng naturally knew his own attribute.

In junior high, the school had organized tests for all students.

The testing method was quite simple: one would touch a special attribute stone containing attribute power, and the stone would emit light of different colors. Fire Attribute was red, Water Attribute was blue, Earth Attribute was yellow, and so on.

Water Attribute?

Upon learning that Lin Feng's constitution was Water Attribute, Elder Jiang and Jiang Jun showed no significant outward reaction, but Zhang Ling slightly furrowed her brow.

Each cultivation technique was single-attribute because Martial Artists chose the techniques most suited to their body's attribute.

And the Water Attribute was widely recognized as the weakest among all attributes.

Its power in the early stages was particularly pitiful.

The Water Attribute lacked significant offensive power. Even in the mid-stages, when it could condense water into ice, it couldn't compare to offensive attributes like Fire, Metal, or Lightning.

In the Glory Alliance, there were many renowned players who cultivated Water Attribute techniques, but few became core members of their teams.

Martial Artists who cultivated Water Attribute techniques more often pursued the path of a Water Elementalist, serving as support for Lightning Elementalists.

To have someone with such exceptional combat talent, a natural-born warrior like Lin Feng, serve as support for a Lightning Elementalist as a Water Elementalist?

That would be an egregious underutilization of his potential, and the proud Lin Feng would likely not agree.

After learning Lin Feng's body attribute, Zhang Ling's expectations for him unconsciously diminished.

"Water Attribute can also be very strong!"

Lin Feng seemed to sense their doubts and said confidently.

He naturally knew that the Water Attribute was weaker in the early stages, far inferior to other attributes; this was an undeniable fact.

But this did not mean the Water Attribute couldn't become powerful in the later stages. Water flow was ever-changing, and in the later stages, condensing water into ice also brought piercing and frost attributes.

Moreover, his body contained more than just one attribute.

Although attribute stones could only test the body's most compatible attribute, the past Lin Feng had attempted to cultivate techniques of various attributes during his university years.

His Water Attribute affinity was the strongest, followed by Lightning Attribute, then Metal Attribute, while his affinity for other attributes could be ignored.

If he didn't cultivate the Water Attribute, Lin Feng could completely cultivate the Lightning Attribute, which had the second-highest affinity. It was just that the speed of Lightning Attribute cultivation was far inferior to Water Attribute.

The vast majority of people would not make such a choice because the gains would not outweigh the losses.

But for Lin Feng, this was not a problem at all.

The Nightmare within him could accelerate his cultivation speed. Lin Feng didn't fear slow cultivation; he feared cultivating too quickly.

Lin Feng could even cultivate both Water and Lightning Attributes simultaneously, becoming a rare dual-attribute professional in Glory!
