Chapter 297: Oh, The Smell Of Your Body…

“Boom!” with a deep muffled rumble, the ground shook violently for a short second. A Smiling Mermaid member fell heavily to the ground after a black shadow flung him into the air. The man who had landed on the ground was large and stout. It took him a long time to catch his breath due to his own weight. He gestured away a person who had stepped forward to help him and climbed up from the ground himself with some effort.
When he stood up, it was as if a small hill had emerged from the horizon. The stout man eyed the silhouette of his opponent who stood not far from him. He suddenly wiped his face and laughed at himself self-deprecatingly, “You can’t judge a book by its cover. Who would’ve guessed this little lady is this strong. Alright, you have passed this round.”
After she withdrew her fists, the coldness on Lin Sanjiu’s face faded as she flashed him a calm smile.
Compared to the man who had a figure of a small hill, Lin Sanjiu’s 1.87m frame was like a short bamboo pole with stick-like limbs. However, her svelte frame generated an incredible amount of strength in a split second and she instantly became the first posthuman to pass the third round.
Lin Sanjiu didn’t even break a sweat. During that burst of attack which lasted less than a minute, she engaged her enemy, change her tactics and fought single-handedly. She didn’t even need to use 30% of her strength, so the fight was almost effortless for her. She didn’t even open up the wings on her back. Seeing the fat man readily accepting his defeat with ease, she smiled and replied modestly, “Well, because you went easy on me.”
Knowing that she was being polite, the stout man nodded and stood to one side.
Predictably, Lin Sanjiu won the first one-on-one knockout battle. She had also promptly defeated three Smiling Mermaid members. Aside from the second fight, where she decided to try and familiarize herself with the use of her wings in battle, the other fights all lasted less than a minute.
Before she could utter “who’s next”, Porcelain Vase ran toward her.
“A few more people have arrived wanting to join in the pocket dimension mission so we are understaffed right now,” Porcelain Vase’s complained with a buzzing voice. “I think your combat skills are good enough, we don’t need to test you further—”
When Lin Sanjiu heard this, she thought that she could just rest and wait to enter the pocket dimension. Unexpectedly, Porcelain Vase had not finished his sentence, “so why don’t you represent us and fight two rounds with them? Don’t worry. Even if you lose, you will still retain your right to enter the pocket dimension, considering your capabilities.”
Apparently, exploration of the said pocket dimension wasn’t something that was particularly important to Smiling Mermaid since the people in charge of the mission could just change the rules on a whim. Even though that request wasn’t raised by her prospective “employer”, Lin Sanjiu was usually easy-going regarding such matters. Besides, the person who made that request was Porcelain Vase, so she agreed on the spot.
“That’s fantastic. Do you see that girl over there?”
Porcelain Vase raised his hand and pointed behind Lin Sanjiu. A girl who was wearing a plaid-patterned scarf stood at the spot that he was pointing to.
Red Nautilus had a rather pleasant climate which wasn’t too warm or too cold. As the temperature was constantly around 20-over degrees, people used to wear all sorts of outfits. The girl was a classic example. She wore a short tight, neon-yellow, cropped short-sleeved top and a pair of sports shorts. She left most of her legs and upper chest exposed yet she wore a huge, thick, plaid-patterned woolen scarf.
Even though the color of the girl’s full outfit was poorly coordinated, it was far from strange considering the fashion sense in the Twelve Worlds Centrum.
After a short introduction by Porcelain Vase, Plaid Scarf Girl seemed rather high spirited. “Big Sister, please go easy on me!” she said while she eyed Lin Sanjiu with her eyes that seemed excessively black. “I saw your previous fight. You’re very powerful!”
Lin Sanjiu acknowledged her and was about to ask Porcelain Vase when they could start and found that he was missing when she turned around.
“Is this your fifth round?” Lin Sanjiu asked out of courtesy and tried not to look into the girl’s eyes, “Then, we should start as soon as possible.”
Somehow, the girl’s pupils were significantly larger than those of any normal person. It was like a large black patch within her pitiful lacking sclera and it seemed like it could disperse any second. It was a little uncomfortable looking at that pair of eyes.
“Okay,” she crooked her head as a weird smile appeared on her face. Her light green dyed hair fell to one side of her face making the color-coordination of her whole appearance even more confusing, “Call me Sajee. Your guidance is appreciated.”
Being polite, Lin Sanjiu wanted to introduce herself as Jiu but before she could even pronounce “J-“, the person in front of her blurred and lunged directly at her. As they were talking to each before, they were standing very close to each other. Lin Sanjiu did not have enough time to dodge the attack. Sajee’s bent elbow was already in front of her abdomen and it was about to make contact—
Lin Sanjiu had used this attack on an opponent just five minutes ago. She had less than half a second to react, she had no choice but to tank the attack directly. With a single thought, she activated her [Defence Forcefield]. A faint white light flashed and her opponent’s fist landed on her lower abdomen.
After recovering her physical body, Lin Sanjiu’s body naturally wasn’t as hard as diamond, unlike her higher consciousness form. However, with her current physical resilience and her [Defence Forcefield], Sajee’s fist only hurt a little. Lin Sanjiu did not even move half a step.
“Big Sister, you are so powerful.” Sajee immediately smiled showing her set of white teeth. “This is certainly your move, and it doesn’t work on you!”
The friendly expression on Lin Sanjiu’s face just moments ago had long faded.
“Well, then use your true strength,” she said indifferently. Every fiber of muscle in her body seemed charged by that punch. It was as if she was given a jolt. She quickly felt a thirst for battle coursing through her blood.
Beyond anything Lin Sanjiu could anticipate, Sajee suddenly bounced once on the spot as if she was overjoyed. The skin on the girl’s upper chest quivered as she said, “No! I know I can’t win against Big Sister… I admit defeat!”
Lin Sanjiu was stunned. There was a sort of disappointment like she was punching air. In an instant, she found no way of venting that fighting spirit which had just been evoked. Since her opponent had already conceded defeat, she couldn’t say anything more. It took a while for her to react as she watched as the girl strode off toward Porcelain Vase.
“Hey,” Mrs. Manas suddenly spoke after the girl walked some distance away. Oddly, Mrs. Manas was whispering. “Do you think that girl is a little perverted?”
“Huh?” Lin Sanjiu was a little dumbfounded.
“You were concentrating on defending yourself so you didn’t notice,” Mrs. Manas sounded a little weird, “but I did. Wasn’t her face near your shoulders just now? When she punched you, she took a deep whiff of your body, around your shoulder area.”
Lin Sanjiu’s scalp felt a little numb. Just when she was about to ask Mrs. Manas if she had made a mistake, she heard Sajee’s calling her joyfully, “Big Sister!”
She turned around and saw a pair of tar-black eyes staring back at her. The girl shouted delightedly, “They say I’m strong enough, so I can enter the pocket dimension with you!”
