Military Upbringing
Due to living in the military Ai Family, Ai Jiang Tu has the solid foundation of a skilled soldier.


 * High level Body Control and Balance
 * Military Sign Language

Spiritual Attainment

 * Lv. 5 (≡Spirit Seed): Before the World College Tournament, Ai Jiang Tu already attained the intermediate stage through the training complementation of High-Tier Curse and Space elements.
 * Lv. 6 (≡Soul Seed): Due to becoming a Super-Tier Mage, Ai Jiang Tu had to raise his Spiritual Attainment to the sixth boundary to breakthrough.

Elements
These are the elements Ai Jiang Tu has awakened:


 * Novice-Tier: Curse Element 诅咒系 (Secondary, High/Super-Tier)
 * Mid-Tier: Space Element 空间系 (Primary, Super-Tier)
 * High-Tier: Lightning Element 雷系 (High-Tier)
 * Super-Tier: ? Unknown

Curse Element
The Curse Element is solely dependant on Ai Jiang Tu's Spiritual Attainment to advance to higher levels. The Curse Element possesses too many restrictions in human society, therefore, Ai Jiang Tu uses it as a control and trump attack ability against humans. However, against magical beasts, he has no need to restrict himself. By the time the World College Tournament began, Ai Jiang Tu already reached High-Tier Curse Element for some time. He also wishes to study the Zu Family's unique Curse Element methods of refining bound-beast soul equipment into temporary human-beast soul bound empowerment, using Jiang Yu's connections. Due to his Curse Element, Ai Jiang Tu has a cultivated understanding of the soul and its relationship to the body.

Space Element
The Space Element is partially dependant on Ai Jiang Tu's Spiritual Attainment to advance to higher levels. Due to the international rules on the Curse Element, Ai Jiang Tu prefers to use his versatile Space Element as his main and most proficient element. By the time the World College Tournament began, Ai Jiang Tu already reached High-Tier Space Element for some time and mastered Teleportation Lv. 1. He is deeply skilled in the Space Element that he helped establish the foundation for the next Magic God Mo Fan. As a Super-Tier Mage, Ai Jiang Tu can teleport the group 300-400 meters away.

Lightning Element
The Lightning Element was confirmed as Ai Jiang Tu's third awakened element through indirect context clues and process of elimination in Chapters: 722 (Light Element), 1046 and 1104 based on team member Jiang Yu's (Light, Summon, Chaos) and Mu Tingying's (Ice, Fire, ?) elements. It was not used at all in the Plot due to Mo Fan being nearby, while Ai Jiang Tu's Lightning Element was less destructive and weaker than the versatile Space in Ai Jiang Tu's repetoire.


 * Chapter 1046: "In the end, the candidates for the first bout were Mu Ning Xue, Jiang Yu, Jiang Shao Xu, Ai Jiang Tu, and Guan Yu. Just looking at the main Elements the five candidates had, none of them had the best offensive Fire Element. Second, the Lightning Element was just like Jiang Yu's secondary Element, therefore, it was a Lightning Element at the output of a little battery compared to Mo Fan’s. It was unlikely that it could come in handy."
 * Chapter 1104: "The only other members with offensive Elements were Ai Jiang Tu and Mu Ting Ying, yet the destructive Lightning and Fire Elements were not really their strengths."

Blessing of the God's Seal (神印礼赞)

 * An imprint was attached to Ai Jiang Tu's most desired element to strengthen with the base effect strengthening at a certain number between 1.2~2.5 depending on his 1 month long comprehension after receiving the Seal. Based on his talents, Ai Jiang Tu would have at least attained a value of 1.5+. He either applied the Blessing to the Curse Element to increase its damage property or to the Space Element to increase its influence.

Equipment
Due to his versatile Space Element, volatile Curse Equipment and soldier upbringing, Ai Jiang Tu possesses a low amount of magic equipment with most owned focus on individual's defense. However, by the time he visited Tian Shan, Ai Jiang Tu had already obtained a full set.
