A Scientific Urban Detective

#282 - Non-fatal flaws

Looking at the cracked ground, Lin Wuming felt a burst of fear. Practical combat ability aside, at least his eyesight had improved.

—If he had been hit by that kick just now, I'm afraid I would have broken a few more bones, right?

That's right, although the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade's attack just now was very fierce, for Lin Wuming, it was at most "a few broken bones", far from being a "fatal threat".

Therefore, Lin Wuming said just now that they were "evenly matched opponents"—because since the start of the battle, he had never entered the "bullet time" state.

This also meant that the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade had not posed a "fatal threat" to Lin Wuming even once.

But conversely, because there was no blessing of "bullet time", Lin Wuming couldn't exert his "true strength" either.

And his own strength and qualities were not comparable to professional fighters… the result was the one-sided beating he had just received.

Lin Wuming's "wuxia dream" was shattered—personally smashed to pieces by this girl who was even younger than him!

In terms of fighting or close combat, he had no talent at all—realizing this, Lin Wuming was very depressed for a while, and coupled with being caught in the enemy's rhythm, it further led to the ugly confrontation until just now.

It was just a one-sided beating…

Although under the protection of the telekinetic barrier, the actual damage he received was actually very limited, but… he just couldn't win.

"I can't keep dreaming of wuxia, I have to wake up and fight seriously," Lin Wuming shook his head.

Faced with the enemy's new round of fierce attacks, Lin Wuming retreated calmly. Although he couldn't win, dodging and defending was not a problem for Lin Wuming.

That round of attacks just now was just because he couldn't react in time.

Just by slightly adjusting his mentality, the precarious battle situation suddenly stabilized.

Lin Wuming retreated steadily, in the direction of the deeper part of this underground tunnel—that was originally where he wanted to go, and now it was even better.

Seeing that her offensive efficiency had dropped sharply, the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade became anxious. From her actions, it could be seen that she was an aggressive and fiery person who was good at and liked fighting. Lin Wuming's passive response made her very unhappy.

"Telekinetic user? You are a telekinetic user!" After a round of fighting, the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade also saw through Lin Wuming's superpower type.

Then she shouted again: "Probably level 3 or even only level 2? Do you think you can beat me with this level of superpower?"

Finally, there was no way to retreat.

Lin Wuming noticed that he had finally passed through the entire underground tunnel and arrived at a space similar to a subway platform.

The area was about the size of two standard basketball courts, but there were no other entrances or exits—both ends of the platform tunnel were walled off.

Except for the entrance he came in through, this was practically a sealed room.

"Welcome to my arena!" The Crocodile Jaw Sawblade showed a happy smile, "It's great that you came here obediently!"

In fact, there were other forks in the long tunnel just now, but in order to deal with "intruders", the doors of those forks were closed, leaving only this straight road leading to the deepest part of the underground unobstructed.

Directly to the end of all "intruders"—the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade's arena.

The Crocodile Jaw Sawblade was one of the organizers of the underground arena. As the only professional fighter among the four, she was specifically responsible for the position of "executioner".

That is, to eliminate all "unsuitable" competitors. Including but not limited to judging the results of the competition, suppressing riotous competitors, and executing fools who try to overthrow the organizers…

To do this task well, the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade was required to have strength surpassing all competitors. In fact, she did achieve this.

Except for the champion Meto Gama from the first two seasons, all previous competitors were not the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade's opponents!

Therefore, it was not surprising that Lin Wuming couldn't beat her at all.

"This is my private arena," the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade said, "In other words, it is also the execution ground for people like you! Prepare to die!"

With no way to escape, Lin Wuming felt a burst of anxiety.

—This girl's strength seems to be only this much, very powerful, but it seems that she can't pose a "fatal threat".

"Can't you be more powerful!" Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain, "As a fighter, don't you have any ultimate moves or something?"

The Crocodile Jaw Sawblade took his words as a provocation, shouted loudly, and launched a new round of fierce attacks.

Lin Wuming could only deal with it carefully, maneuvering around her in this limited area.

The marble-paved ground shattered piece by piece under the girl's attacks.

Before long, the originally clean and tidy platform became a horrible ruin.

This girl's attack power and strength were obviously abnormal, Lin Wuming also saw it—the enemy was also a superpower user, at least level 3 or above.

But Lin Wuming couldn't tell what type of superpower it was.

The latest novel is first published on 6|9|shu|ba!

"Fulcrum Weapon"—the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade's superpower, with a power level of level 4.

Archimedes said, "Give me a lever and a place to stand, and I will move the earth"—this is probably the most suitable annotation for the superpower "Fulcrum Weapon".

Of course, the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade, who was only a great ability user, could not do such a thing as "move the earth".

But her superpower can indeed allow her to wield power far beyond physiological and physical limits.

Using the principle of leverage, "Fulcrum Weapon" can arbitrarily adjust the size of the force arm, thereby controlling the output force at the other end of the lever.

This is why the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade can smash concrete or marble ground with her small fists.

—To be precise, it was not actually "smashing", but using the principle of leverage to apply tremendous force in an instant, crushing the ground.

Strictly speaking, the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade's superpower would be more effective if used for ranged attacks—such as throwing stones—she could directly transform into a human catapult.

However, since the Crocodile Jaw Sawblade was a mixed martial artist, influenced by personal preference, she only focused on developing the close combat usage of "Fulcrum Weapon".

Even so, it was enough to make her the "executioner" above all the competitors in the underground arena.

Of course, Lin Wuming knew nothing about these specific details, he could only make a rough judgment based on his previous fighting experience.

Then… then how to fight is still how to fight?

With Lin Wuming's current level and strength, without entering the "bullet time" state, it was impossible to perform such complex operations as thinking and analyzing, formulating response plans, and implementing them simultaneously during intense battles.

Lin Wuming couldn't wait to turn the muzzle around and give himself a "telekinesis acceleration cannon" to enter the "bullet time" state.

However, the telekinesis acceleration cannon was too powerful and too fast, Lin Wuming was worried that he would accidentally commit suicide, so he didn't dare to put it into practice.

As for other methods… nowadays, Lin Wuming's telekinetic barrier had almost been trained into a passive state that was permanently on the surface of his body, other attack methods, either could not complete a real "fatal crisis", or could really kill him, and he couldn't stop himself at all.

—Originally wanted to exploit the "bullet time" BUG, but found that the difficulty of operation was not just a little bit…
