Lin Jin looked at his determined expression, a barely perceptible flicker of approval crossing his eyes.
"You've got fighting spirit, but before that, I have another question." Lin Jin sat back down on the sofa and looked at Zhou Yan. "What superpower cultivation art are you practicing now?"
Zhou Yan froze for a moment and scratched his head.
"Superpower cultivation art? Still the one the Paranormal Bureau issued." He thought for a moment. "The fire-element Flame Sun Art. It's B-rank."
"B-rank?" Lin Jin raised his brows slightly.
"Yeah." Zhou Yan nodded. "New recruits like us don't have many contribution points, so we usually practice C-rank arts that match our superpower's element."
"Speaking of which, Little Lin, I still need to thank you for that."
"The only reason I got permission to practice a B-rank art was because we're friends, and because of your contributions to the Paranormal Bureau. Group Leader Su gave me special approval."
He paused, a trace of relief in his voice. "Apparently, B-rank arts already count as mid-tier. Fewer than twenty people in the entire Jiangcheng Paranormal Bureau get to practice them."
"Everyone else on Team C, including Captain Chen, still practices C-rank arts. Getting to practice a B-rank art as soon as I joined was already pretty good. Otherwise, I couldn't have advanced to the Divine Knowledge Initial Stage ahead of the rest of the team."
Lin Jin said nothing, staring straight at him.
The stare made Zhou Yan uneasy. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
"What realm can this B-rank art take you to?"
"The peak Source Energy Stage," Zhou Yan answered. "The bureau's instructor said that's the upper limit of a B-rank art."
"To break through to the Domain Realm, you have to switch to an A-rank or S-Rank art. But that's for later.
