Chapter 570: Floating Fish

Planet Norma had many times more species of life than on Earth, and there were some life forms that were hard to fathom even existed, such as some almost invisible lifeforms, some life forms that were composed of pure elements, and the like. That was why after Xiao Lin felt the strange nature of the beast behind them, he quickly thought of that possibility, and tried to find the relevant information from the Basic Biology lessons he had gone through.

Using his Phantom Steps and leaving after images behind, Xiao Lin seemed to step into the mist in a flash. At that moment his body could not help but shudder. The forest was not that cold after night fell, but it was very humid. However, the temperature within the mist was especially low, and when he rushed in with his body full of sweat, the liquids suddenly turned into ice.

Xiao Lin gritted his teeth and violently sent a fist into the air. The air he had agitated let out a low but ear-piercing sound as wind from his punch pierced a large hole through the fog. What followed was an even more ear-piercing cry, like a baby crying. That sound came from nearby, and the sound felt like it went straight into his heart. It seemed to carry some magic that caused one to be dizzy, and Xiao Lin consciously used his hands to cover his ears.

In a short moment, the fog that was broken through by the wind had covered itself up, but this time the wind seemed to hide something else inside. Xiao Lin forced himself to resist the ringing in his ears, but Xiao Lin still could not feel anything despite being in his Miracle state. He felt that it might be due to the mist that could possibly shield any perception from the outside world.

Xiao Lin could only rely on his own sight and, borrowing the light of the flames, Xiao Lin determined a mysterious thing swimming over at a rapid speed. He was stunned for a moment as he tried to make sure he did not see it wrongly, but that thing really was swimming in mid-air as it went over.

Was it a fish?

Xiao Lin had a strange thought in his mind, but that did not stop his body’s reactions. He did not hesitate to activate his Ruin state, and he suddenly felt his body being filled with explosive power. He once again lifted his fist, and this time the wind was even sharper. However, without a sword, his destructive ability was not like it used to be, so Xiao Lin could not afford to hold back. Since he did not have a weapon, he would need to use all his power to gain an advantage in the shortest amount of time.

Dragon breath!


The power of the dragon race started to be felt. Under his Ruin state, the power of the dragons that existed in the mysterious black hole in Xiao Lin’s body was his greatest power at that moment. Before that, he had used his Sword Aura to condense and release it, but he could still use it without a sword. Only, without the control of swordsmanship, the power was even harder to control.

The gigantic fish that was quickly swimming around the mist seemed to fear the draconic power immensely as its ear-piercing whistle weakened. However, just as Xiao Lin thought that his foe would retreat because of it, the fish suddenly increased in speed. That thing took less than a second to reach its highest speed from a state of inertia. In a flash, it was right in front of Xiao Lin, and Xiao Lin finally saw the true face of the mysterious beast.

It really was a fish. It had the body of a fish but did not have any scales. Its body seemed to be transparent and smooth, and Xiao Lin could even see inside of its body. Only, the inside of its body was just filled with mist, and there were no organs within. On its massive head was a very long moustache, and a large mouth as well as eyes the size of soccer balls. The moment it opened its mouth, it spat out the mist within its body, which was probably the origin of the mist around them.

Xiao Lin reacted quickly, as his agility when under the Ruin state was immense. He immediately moved his fist that carried the draconic power, and landed it straight on the fish’s head. The moment he touched the skin, a cold piercing sensation caused his arm to shiver, and then he stared as his fish passed through the fish’s head. That strike felt like it had landed on a bubble. Other than the coldness, he did not feel anything solid at all.

How was that possible?!

Xiao Lin was shocked and once again unleashed his draconic power. Without his sword aura as a conduit, his control of that power was not perfect, but because it was not perfect, the power of the draconic energy was even more violent when it was released. Xiao Lin’s arm which held the violent energy once again passed through his foe’s body, and the fish once again unleashed an ear-splitting cry, causing Xiao Lin to sway with dizziness.

Thankfully, the fish did not use any other attacks, and quickly escaped after passing through Xiao Lin, disappearing without a trace.

The mist had dispersed, and the winds also started to die down. All that remained were a few trees that were still burning, but thanks to Xiao Lin controlling it, the flames were not big, and were quickly extinguished soon.

Xiao Lin remained on alert for a moment, but after a few minutes he let out a sigh of relief having not seen any movement. Undoing his Ruin state, his entire body was drenched, but it was not sweat, and instead the cold vapor from the mysterious mist.

Preparing to chase after the rest of them, Xiao Lin turned around and moved a few steps, but he was stuck in place as he furrowed his eyebrows. His right hand pinched his left arm and his heart sunk. No matter how he tried, his left arm did not seem to have any feeling to it as well. It limply hung by the side, feeling nothing; it just was unable to be moved.

That was definitely done by the fish because Xiao Lin had used his left hand to strike it earlier, and it had passed through its body.

Since it was already like that, there was no point regretting it. After checking and making sure he had no other injuries, Xiao Lin quickly chased after them in the forest. When the sky started to brighten up, Xiao Lin managed to catch up to Lu Renjia and the others to their happy surprise. No matter what, Xiao Lin had stood up to protect their rear, which caused them to feel closer to their monitor.

Mentioning the monster, Xiao Lin’s expression was still heavy as he briefed all of them about the special characteristics of the beast. Even though everyone had studied the animals on Planet Norma, it was the first time they heard of a fish that could float in mid-air. They could not help but remark on its strangeness, and of course someone had wanted to try fighting it, but they were quickly scared out of the idea by Xiao Lin’s next words.

“You need to flee as far as you can if you see that beast. You see my arm? I only touched it for a moment, and now it’s completely lost all feeling.” Xiao Lin smiled bitterly as he pointed at his left arm. The only thing he was thankful for was that he had used his left arm earlier, so he could still try to make do with his right arm.
