[With an E:2 grade talent and a water elemental affinity, she is more than worthy enough to become the next family head, in terms of potential. But her attitude and mindset will hold her back, as one's mental stability and mindset are just as important as one's talent when it comes to cultivation] thought Adam to himself.

[However, one cannot deny that her elemental affinity is amazing. Currently, she isn't suited to cultivation, but if she changes, she could become extremely powerful and a big help to me] added Adam to himself, still amazed after seeing Angela form a blade out of water.

[I will acquire some elemental affinities from the system after I complete this task in Staten Island and it will greatly increase my power while also making it easier for me to hunt in the dungeon] decided Adam.

"Angela, what else can you do with your water elemental affinity," asked Adam curiously.

It was evident that she could create water and manipulate it with her energy and mind, but he wanted to see what her limits were and what else she was capable of.

Angela was clearly much more powerful than Adam, and even if she didn't use her elemental affinity, she would probably be able to defeat him with ease, but Adam wasn't intimidated much by her.

Despite her strong front, she seemed quite weak-minded and Adam was sure that he was safe as long as he was useful to her and peaked her interest.

"Well since it is E:2 graded, its power and potential are very high. I can create things out of water and use it to do my bidding. When it is raining or when we are in a wet environment, I am more capable, but even if it seems dry, there is moisture in the air and in everyone's body" answered Angela vaguely.

Although she was very proud of her elemental affinity, she  clearly didn't want to reveal any of her exact skills or abilities, but the information she gave Adam was enough and it gave him a better idea of what her elemental affinity was capable of.

Angela was quite narrow-minded and probably only used her water elemental affinity directly, but Adam could think of many different unique uses that were extremely useful and effective in combat.

[System, how much would it cost to buy an elemental affinity at the same grade as Angela's?] asked Adam within his mind, not wanting to use the system menu in front of others, which would look very weird as only he could see it.

{Before the host looks at prices, the host needs to know more about what integrating with an elemental affinity would mean. If the person was an ordinary human and suddenly gained an elemental affinity at the age of 18, especially one that was considered to be powerful, by your current standards, such as Angela's, the person would definitely die. An elemental affinity is a link to the element that allows you to absorb and wield that time of elemental energy and in almost every case, the person is born with it} stated the system.

{It would be slightly easier to upgrade existing elemental affinities, but it would still be very difficult and straining on the body, while it might also inversely effect the user's cultivation. One's elemental affinity needed to be equivalent or below one's talent grading, otherwise the person's body wouldn't be able to handle it} continued the system.

{However, with the host's special constitution that defies human logic, the host can gain multiple elemental affinities and at different grades without suffering backlash. However, there are some conditions} continued the system.

[System pause your explanation] ordered Adam, who could see that Angela was becoming curious as to why he was absent minded.

It had become a bad habit that Adam had developed where he would begin to talk to the system and find out more information without regard to what others with him would think about him zoning out, and before continuing, wanted to excuse himself.

"Angela, I'm going to cultivate for a short while, and so should you to prepare your mind and body before reaching Staten Island," said Adam as he crossed his legs and closed his eyes.

Angela was confused as to why he suddenly became silent, but little did she know that he was communicating with the system within his mind. Telling her that he was going to cultivate excused his silence as she sat there quietly and observed Adam who was acting quite weirdly.

[Please continue] requested Adam within his mind, curious to find out what else the system had to tell him.

{First of all, the host's body can only handle elemental affinities that are at the same level as the host's Dungeon Form. This is because the host's Dungeon Form is a representation of the host's talent and ability to store and wield energy. This means that currently with the host's Dungeon Form at level 5, the host can acquire elemental affinities that are F:6 grade without the host's body suffering any backlash or damage} stated the system.

{Since the host has a unique constitution, the host is able to transform his energy into any of the different elemental affinities that the host is using. This is unique to the host as usually a cultivator would have to restart their Internal Cultivation after gaining an elemental affinity, as they would want to store energy of that element and cultivate using it} informed him the system.

[What would happen if I bought an elemental affinity that surpassed the level of my Dungeon Form?] asked Adam who had his eyes on higher grade elemental affinites.

{Depending on what elemental affinity, its grade and the situation, the host could suffer backlash that could merely cause a small amount of internal damage, or could destroy the host's cultivation and kill the host} stated the system.

With that, Adam realised that although the system gave him many advantages with his unique constitution that was somehow linked to his Dungeon Form that could be upgraded, it also had some limitations.
