The No.1 Undercover in the Immortal World-Chapter 283 - 282: Let Me Grow Some More

Lin Yun and the Snow Maiden were about to wrestle, but as they posed to start, they suddenly felt that this wrestling match was somewhat improper.

Lin Yun’s hands were on the Snow Maiden’s shoulders, feeling her smooth, delicate skin and her cool body temperature, while his own temperature was gradually rising. As the Snow Maiden’s arms touched Lin Yun’s, and then rested on his shoulders, she became aware of his warmth, and she felt her body warming up as well.

There was a special aura about Lin Yun that she found appealing, which stirred something inside her.

"If you’re ready, then let’s begin!"

The Snow Maiden forcibly shifted her attention; the atmosphere was too intimate, and if they continued their standoff, things might progress in a strange direction.

"I’m ready."

Lin Yun exerted his strength tentatively, which also served as a signal for the start. The Snow Maiden began to exert her force as well, and they truly began to wrestle.

This was a primal clash of bodies, with no spells enhancing it, nor could cultivation levels or Heart Guarding Paths impact this contest of strength.

The Snow Maiden looked delicate, but her strength was not weak. Although she had never directly challenged warriors in a display of force, she had an idea of her own level.

She was roughly on par with Zhang Ling, but slightly weaker than Yuan Ji. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

That was because the Snow Maiden hadn’t cultivated her physical body; if she had started training, the title of first warrior of the grasslands might have changed hands immediately.

She thought that with her strength, overpowering Lin Yun should be effortless, considering that he had just started practicing the Dragon-Elephant Divine Skill today.

However, as soon as she applied her strength, she realized something was off.

Lin Yun was very stable in his stance; once he dug in his horse stance and unified his waist and horse, the Snow Maiden applied a fraction of her strength, yet could not shake him in the slightest.

Of course, since this was just beginning, she was holding back. If she went all out right away and threw Lin Yun out, he would lose face terribly.

Lin Yun didn’t take the opportunity to knock the Snow Maiden down either. He simply stood firm, matching whatever force she applied with his resistance.

"Ha!"

The Snow Maiden tested her strength repeatedly, eventually summoning all of her might, even exhaling loudly to gather strength. Lin Yun was forced to counter with his full strength, and they began to slowly turn in circles where they stood, a battle that didn’t look intense but had both participants’ blood racing.

"Ahh!"

With gritted teeth and mustering all of her capacity, the Snow Maiden tried to throw Lin Yun, but suddenly, with a burst of strength, Lin Yun lifted her by the shoulders, and, worried he might hurt her, he quickly shifted his grip to under her arms and hoisted her high.

The Snow Maiden looked on in confusion, releasing her hold on Lin Yun.

Lin Yun saw the red marks on the Snow Maiden’s shoulders; her pale skin made the areas he had grasped particularly noticeable.

While Lin Yun continued to hold her aloft, the Snow Maiden looked down at him, feeling a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, and demanded, "Put me down!"

Lin Yun gently set her down, and because of the lifting action, they ended up quite close to each other when she was back on the ground.

"Sorry about that, I didn’t hurt you, did I?"

The Snow Maiden quietly adjusted her clothes and said bashfully, "We were competing fairly, and I’m not hurt, so it’s okay."

"Hey, does this mean I’ve won, Big Sister?"

Lin Yun timely slipped into his ’cute puppy’ persona.

The Snow Maiden was initially having trouble saving face, considering she had intended to give Lin Yun a lesson but ended up defeated; seeing Lin Yun so happy about winning just once, she found his childlike joy endearing, which greatly improved her mood.

"Yes, yes, yes, you’ve won, but there will be no reward."

"I know Big Sister must have been going easy on me."

Lin Yun was still visibly happy, but intentionally said such a thing. The Snow Maiden shook her head, replying, "I went all out. It seems, Ah Yun, your divine power truly received a blessing after the baptism and has begun to awaken."

Lin Yun: "..."

Baptism my ass. I just farmed a bunch of monsters on the mountain and happened to wipe out all the Guardians along the way.

However, Lin Yun didn’t know how it was for others—anyway, with a series of actions, he had given people the impression that he’d been blessed, which wasn’t too bad.

Snow Maiden continued, "Although I haven’t compared strengths with them, if I were to be ranked, my strength would be at least in the top three. Since you were able to defeat me, you must be no weaker than Zhang Ling."

"Ah? I’m that formidable?"

Am I really on par with Zhang Ling already?

Lin Yun felt this was somewhat unscientific.

The top five warriors had combat power comparable to those in the Central Plains Enlightened Realm, whereas Lin Yun was only in the Central Plains Divine Cultivation Realm, not even reaching the Heart Guarding Realm.

"You are the Divine Child. It’s quite normal for you to be so powerful, but your strength being on par with theirs doesn’t mean you are as strong as they are. All warriors have been through grueling trials and can unleash their full power. However, you shouldn’t be discouraged. Just wait a little while longer, and you’ll surpass them," said the Snow Maiden with confidence in Lin Yun.

Lin Yun, however, felt an unreal sensation, like he’d always thought the bosses outside were terrifying and unbeatable—so he focused on leveling up—when suddenly someone said, "You’re ready..."

Of course, Lin Yun didn’t think he was ready yet.

If one were to quantify all the cultivators’ attributes, Lin Yun’s strength attribute was already on par with the top warriors of the grasslands, but in other areas such as defense, speed, and endurance, Lin Yun was much weaker.

But Lin Yun had a cheat-like trait—his Spiritual Power was nearly infinite, so he could continuously use Body Technique Skills to make up for his speed.

Additionally, with a Divine Artifact, he rounded up to being able to PK a top grassland warrior.

An important reason why Upper Realm crushed Lower Realm was the Spiritual pressure and the suppression of realm, rendering Lower Realm cultivators incapable of resistance. But Lin Yun was completely immune to such spiritual suppression, so if he faced an Upper Realm Cultivator, he might not win, but he definitely had the capacity to fight back.

Stop!

Lin Yun felt his sword urging him to move, yearning for a vigorous battle against the top three warriors.

That could happen, but there was no need—allow me to grow a bit more!

"I got it, big sis. I will diligently cultivate," Lin Yun said.

Lin Yun decided to continue going undercover.

"Keep this close to you. There may not be dangers during this descent from the mountain, but it’s better to have it with you," said the Snow Maiden, retrieving a stored Snow Lotus from her palace.

The Snow Lotus had only seven petals, and with two flowers, that made fourteen petals in total.

That was like having fourteen bottles of Big Red Medicine—no more fears in dungeons from now on.

Although Lin Yun had been fighting without injury so far, there would likely be times he’d need them, so he cherished and stored them carefully.

"Then big sis, I’ll be going now."

Having taken what he came for, Lin Yun didn’t find it appropriate to linger in the Snow Maiden Palace. Moreover, with the current ambiguous atmosphere between them, staying longer for a clumsy chat would only dissipate the feeling. The Snow Maiden would get used to this ambiguousness.

The best strategy was to leave right when the ambiguous vibes were strongest, giving the Snow Maiden time and space to ponder or relish the moment alone.

As Lin Yun expected, after his departure, the Snow Maiden crossed her arms over her shoulders, seemingly savoring the feeling just experienced from Lin Yun’s touch.

On the other hand, after Lin Yun left the Snow Maiden Palace, he encountered a White-Robed Witch Shaman...
