And then there were the three dimensions. Bah, it was the six-dimensional data.

As a rigorous Witch of the All-Knowing Path, Dorothy was accustomed to categorizing and organizing the memories in her mind. Therefore, once she confirmed the identity of the newcomer, this familiar character sheet, which she had roughly deduced based on Alice's previous descriptions, surfaced.
Since it was merely an estimation and not a precise measurement like a personal identification card, the data on this character card couldn't be 100% accurate. However, Alice and this Miss Rena had fought more than once or twice, and the Little Witch's most recent data was from two months ago.
Given this, the character card should be largely accurate. After all, within this short summer vacation, the opponent's strength wouldn't have undergone any qualitative leap; at most, there would only be some minor improvements.
Nevertheless, it must be said, she truly lived up to her reputation as the second seat of the Armed Society. This attribute sheet was truly luxurious, especially that long list of nearly twenty talents and specialties combined. This made Dorothy feel very envious, Greed, and hatred.
Damn it, these Demonesses with good aptitudes are truly infuriating. Not only do they have more gacha pulls naturally from birth, but they can also act wantonly later on, thanks to their abundant magic power, freely evolving the specialties they need. Unlike me, who has to be so stifled.
Recalling her own pitiful innate three talents, and then thinking about how she usually didn't dare to waste magic power to evolve specialties, only trying every possible way to freeload, Dorothy was so sour that tears almost fell.
Hmph, so what if you have good magic power aptitude? Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have a lot of magic power. Once I finish this job and earn money, I'll show you what it means to truly do whatever you want when you're rich.
High-grade ingredients, quickly replenish my magic!
Fortunately, although Dorothy had fewer talents and specialties, their quality was still decent, roughly equivalent to a dozen of others. This could be seen from her own luxurious six-dimensional attribute talent chart.
The Witch's six-dimensional attribute talent chart levels from low to high are E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, SSS, and EX, these nine ratings.
However, in reality, it's quite remarkable for an ordinary Witch's attribute rating to reach A-grade. S-grade and above ratings belong to the realm of the Great Demonesses, usually only achievable by top Great Demonesses or higher.
After all, these basic attribute ratings can only be improved through corresponding talents and specialties; there is no other way.
If you stay in the Witch World long enough, you'll find that very few Demonesses go running or exercise. This is because human exercise is too inefficient for them.
The Demonesses' physical fitness is mainly related to their total magic power and six-dimensional talents. For every mana point a Witch gains, that mana point will also provide corresponding basic attribute bonuses to the Witch based on the Witch's six-dimensional talent level.
Generally speaking, for every level increase in the six-dimensional attribute rating, the corresponding attribute bonus doubles, roughly like E1, D2, C4, B8, A16, S32.
And this is just the basic bonus; it doesn't prevent you from using enhancement magic or anything else. These can all be stacked. This is also why Demonesses, despite eating, drinking, and playing all day without exercising, possess powerful physiques that other races might never achieve even if they trained to death.
Of course, this doesn't mean that exercise is completely useless for Demonesses. In fact, it's very useful, as many specialties can be acquired through postnatal training, such as the Thousand-Forged Body (SR) possessed by this Black Tiger Miss in front of her.
This is a powerful specialty that can simultaneously boost all six-dimensional attribute talents. The acquisition method is also quite simple: as long as you don't die from training, then train to death. When you train your physique to a certain extent, you can first obtain the lower-level specialty, Hundred-Refined Body (R). Continuing to train leads to Thousand-Forged Body (SR), and a further step leads to Myriad-Forged Body (SSR).
This series of specialties has always been powerful and has no acquisition threshold; as long as you are a Witch and are willing to endure hardship, it should be very common. However, in reality...
Well, it's still the same old saying: although Demonesses possess great power, their nature is still human, and human nature is lazy and dislikes hardship.
Dorothy actually wanted to freeload this series of specialties back then, but after training hard for a while, she found that this damn thing required her to exhaust all her strength and break through her limits every time. As long as she broke through her limits a hundred times, it would count as Hundred-Refined; a thousand times would be Thousand-Forged; ten thousand times would be Myriad-Forged.
So, after giving it a try, she gave up.
This wasn't because she was afraid of the pain during the process of exhausting herself and breaking through.
Um, it really wasn't.
The main reason was that her innate six-dimensional panel was too high, so high that she herself didn't know where her limit was. After trying to run with weights purely relying on her physical body without magic enhancement, running for seven days and seven nights, breaking several treadmills, yet not sweating a single drop and not feeling tired at all, Dorothy understood.
This series of specialties might be something she could never obtain.
Alas, sometimes having too strong a physique is also a bother.
In short, the six-dimensional attribute level and talents/specialties are complementary. Talents/specialties will raise the six-dimensional attribute level, and a higher six-dimensional attribute level, in turn, lowers the threshold for those talents/specialties that were originally more difficult to evolve, which is the discounted treatment Dorothyenjoyed when she freeloaded those two specialties.
So, looking at Miss Rena's attribute panel now, one would know that she is truly strong. A six-dimensional attribute panel of 1A4B1C is simply not a panel a student who hasn't graduated yet should have, especially that Strength A. This already indicates the terrifying absolute strength of this Black Tiger Miss.
Moreover, she is a ruthless person who has cultivated the Thousand-Forged Body. There's no doubt about her fighting will; if she can be so ruthless to herself, she will undoubtedly be even more ruthless to her enemies.
This is undoubtedly a strong person; it's what her foolish younger sister deserved to be toyed with in various ways.
It's just a pity...
"I heard you're very good at close combat, especially fond of competing in strength. Hmm, this body is truly well-built, the muscles are very well-trained, indeed the physique a strength-type combatant should have."
Dorothy took a step forward.
One second ago, she was hundreds of meters away from the Black Tiger Witch, but the next second, the Dragon Witch's figure had already appeared beside Rena. She even extended her hand and gently poked the abdominal muscles on the exposed stomach of this lightly dressed, wild beauty, commenting as such.
To be honest, she really envied such beautiful abdominal muscles. If she could, she would want them too. In her previous life, when she was a shut-in, she already envied people with abdominal muscles. It's just a pity that in this life, she still seems to only be able to envy.
No way, it's still the same old saying, her physique is too strong, exercise has no effect, she simply can't train abdominal muscles. That slender waist, which can be grasped with one hand, no matter how much she trains, refuses to thicken, always remaining as white, tender, and slender as a white snake, always smooth and soft.
Rena: "..."
Because she intended to follow the instructions of the first seat, the Black Tiger Witch, who was originally prepared to defend as much as possible and stall for time, was startled by the sensation on her lower abdomen, causing her hair to stand on end. The big cat girl instantly bristled.
Damn it, how did she get here? I didn't see it at all.
The well-built Black Tiger Miss was greatly alarmed. She had never encountered such a bizarre situation before. She instinctively wanted to punch back, but...
A single fingertip lightly blocked her outgoing fist, preventing her full-powered punch from advancing another inch.
This bizarre scene made the big cat girl's pupils contract. Although she only had about 13,000 mana available due to the suppression of the formation, the punch she just threw still had the power to instantly destroy a building. How could such a punch be caught by a single fingertip?
Uh, no, wait, it seems this scene isn't the first time. Rena recalled the scene when she first threw a punch at the President back then. That time, the President also lightly used a single finger to catch her full-powered punch and even commented on her.
"Your punch has strength, but the force is too dispersed. It looks like it can break buildings and shatter mountains with one punch, but in reality, the force is scattered everywhere, wasting at least five-tenths of its power."
A voice sounded in Rena's ear, making the Black Tiger Witch nod subconsciously.
Yes, yes, yes, the President said that about her before. It's just that last time, she said seven-tenths was dispersed. Now, only five-tenths is dispersed, so it seems I've improved.
She had just thought that, but immediately paused.
Wait, isn't the President not here yet? Then who was just talking?
Rena raised her head in horror, looking at her opponent, who was completely wrapped up, looking like she didn't want to show her face.
She clearly saw her terrifying opponent, who was blocking her attack with one finger, slowly raising her other free hand, then closing her five fingers, clenching her fist, and striking down.
"Watch closely, a punch is actually thrown like this."
This was the last thing Rena heard while she was still conscious.
Of course, she didn't just watch herself get hit without fighting back. She also swung her fist with all her might to meet the attack.
However, the moment the two fists collided, the Black Tiger Witch's expression instantly changed drastically.
She knew she couldn't take this punch.
An incredibly terrifying force came from the opposite side, and that force was so condensed, as if twisted into a single strand like a hemp rope, and also like a drill bit spiraling forward, unstoppable.
Compared to the opponent's punch, Rena's own punch was like a wave crashing against a reef. The wave looked powerful, but after the spray, the reef remained unmoved, while the wave was split in half.
So, this punch Domineering and incomparable shattered her finger bones, tore her arm, and then heavily smashed into her face, which was filled with shock, making her finally hear the sound of something cracking.
Boom...
Accompanied by this loud bang, Rena, who was originally standing, suddenly changed her racial template, transforming from a big cat girl into a headless knight. Her headless torso still maintained the posture of standing and fighting back, but the beautiful cat head, which was originally full of wild vitality, had disappeared from her neck.
And if one looked back from the neck, which wasn't even bleeding, at the same height on a distant sand dune, at least several kilometers away, a clear, fist-shaped Penetration tunnel was revealed.
Soon, this fist-print tunnel was buried by collapsing quicksand, and the headless corpse finally fell. In the Gladiator Arena, which seemed to be under a silencing spell, only one voice echoed.
"It's regrettable, but it seems the power of the fierce tiger is ultimately no match for the giant dragon."
"Then hurry up with the next one, or if all of you are at this level, then come at me all at once."
Dorothy calmly withdrew her fist and then said.
"I think I might be able to fight eleven."
Zhai Mo Nv is being presumptuous.
3500 words. Alas, after being on Sanjiang, people in the review section keep asking why I don't go to the female channel. I'm annoyed by these idiots. I even suspect I'm being trolled, so I've enabled speaking restrictions. It only takes 1 fan value. Everyone can just tip a paragraph or two with a few Qidian coins to get permission. I just hope there will be fewer arrogant idiots.
