Chapter 1112: Trade and Advancement (9)

As for the actual losses...

Very few!

Just one set of steel armor, a steel shield and steel spear, and a leather armor.

But this... can even be called a loss?

Compared to the other side's losses, this is utterly a drop in the bucket.

The other side must be furious!

"Nice Auction House"

I've remembered it!!

Zhao Chi had no time to think too much.

Because right now, his ears were full of women's worried voices.

Gu Qing said solemnly, "My lord! What exactly happened? Why did you only teleport us back, while you stayed there fighting Tang Ruan alone? It was too dangerous. Why did you do that? You must promise me you'll absolutely never do this again."

Zhuang Ya still said angrily, "Those damn beastmen are real bastards! Just as I was about to breathe fire and burn them to death, you teleported me back. I understand caring about your woman, but your way of caring is clearly wrong."

Qi Yue's pretty face was also taut: "My lord, what you did this time really was wrong. Caring for people isn't done this way. You have to promise us you really can't do this anymore."

Tang Ruan originally had a bellyful of words she wanted to say.

But Zhao Chi was inside her body.

So the three of them—Gu Qing and the others—all complained at Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan didn't dare speak now.

Zhao Chi relaxed and smiled, quickly explaining the situation just now.

Once the explanation was done, the body piloting technique's time was also up.

He pulled out of Tang Ruan's body and stood beside her.

The three of them—Gu Qing and the others—heard this situation, and all their anger vanished.

And they were all utterly astonished as well.

"Over twenty Expansion Stones in one go?" Qi Yue's small mouth opened, as if about to catch something.

"That auction house actually does things like this? They'll have a fire disaster!" Zhuang Ya was filled with righteous indignation, her brows slightly furrowed.

"So... at the critical moment, Tang Ruan, like shedding skin, directly peeled off that layer of jade armor?" Gu Qing sized up Tang Ruan.

Tang Ruan's body had already fully recovered.

The delicate pink skin had already returned to the pristine white jade armor.

Tang Ruan nodded: "Yes, I've already received the system notification and comprehended a new skill, but you were all just surrounding me complaining about my lord, so I didn't dare speak..."

Zhao Chi was in a great mood.

With the explosive harvest, Tang Ruan had also comprehended a new skill.

Truly a double blessing.

"Hahaha, hurry up and send me the info—what exactly is this skill of yours?"

Tang Ruan nodded: "Okay."

Soon, Zhao Chi received it.

Tang Ruan didn't just send the skill data; she sent the system notification along with it.

【Congratulations, through explosive extreme armor-shedding training, you have comprehended the skill "Flesh and Blood Wedding Dress"】

Don't look at the skill first.

Look at this system notification first.

The system says Tang Ruan underwent explosive extreme armor-shedding training?

What does that mean?

Explosive, extreme, armor-shedding.

This wouldn't be referring to skinning, would it?

It really is extreme...

That was peeling off several hundred skins in just a few days—truly explosive armor-shedding...

Unexpectedly, because of this, she could still comprehend a skill...

Now look at the skill:

【Skill】 Flesh and Blood Wedding Dress

【Category】 Sorcery

【Cost】 100 HP, 1 full skin

【Effect】 Instantly shed one's own skin, and dress the skin onto the target, making the target and nearby people all believe the target is the skin's owner, lasting until the blood force disappears after 10 minutes, or the skin is taken off.

Tang Ruan comprehended sorcery?

The cost is 100 HP and one skin...

This goddamn...

Zhao Chi remembered this sorcery should belong to some primitive race, but he forgot exactly which one.

This kind of thing wasn't taught at the academy; Zhao Chi had seen it in the library.

Casting a skill by consuming HP and skin—worthy of sorcery indeed.

But then again...

This sorcery really suits Tang Ruan.

Consuming HP and skin—she doesn't care about either of those at all...

If it were an ordinary person, 100 HP would be everything; using it would mean death, and even if not dead, they'd be on the brink or heavily injured.

Still needs an entire skin…

Who could possibly endure that?

Far too wicked.

Apart from some hot-tempered senior surnamed Li, probably only Tang Ruan could withstand it.

Truly worthy of being sorcery.

And it's practically a sorcery tailor-made for Tang Ruan.

Looking again at the skill's effect — so the Tang Ruan seen earlier was a skinned beastman?
