Chapter 1545

What a great name.

Giant Body Art — sounds powerful just hearing it.

Zhao Chi immediately opened the details.

【Spiritual Technique】 Giant Body Art

【Grade】 S+ Advanced Single-Target

【Effect】 Increases target's body weight by 1%–200%, while proportionally increasing volume

【Buffs】 Vitality, Attack, Special Attack, Load-bearing Capacity

【Debuffs】 Attack Speed, Evasion, Block, Appetite

【Cost】 Depending on effect, consumes 1–100 points of spiritual power

【Duration】 10 minutes

Oh my god.

Not bad.

The upper limit on weight increase has gone up another 100%.

This 100% isn't just the 100% you see on the surface — this 100% is the base 100% of the spiritual technique, and it still has to go through all kinds of bonuses.

The original Doubling Body Art had a base of +100%, and all the bonuses were stacked on top of that 100%.

But this Giant Body Art's +200% means bonuses will be stacked on top of this 200%.

So what's strong isn't just that extra 100%!

After all kinds of bonuses, the Doubling Body Art's +100% body weight could already turn someone over two meters tall.

And now with a maximum of +200% body weight, after going through all kinds of bonuses, wouldn't that easily push past three meters? Including the female soldiers — they could also exceed three meters!

They'd be fully able to catch up to the height of the giants.

And they wouldn't be like those giants — tall but skinny, like a bare tree trunk.

When the female soldiers grow, they grow proportionally all over — they become a larger version of a female soldier, not just taller along one dimension.

That way the body would still stay well-proportioned.

Besides the expanded upper limit on growth, Zhao Chi noticed new changes in the attributes.

The buffed attributes now include "Special Attack," and the debuffed ones now include "Block."

Special Attack means: Destruction, Penetration, Impact — these kinds of special offensive attributes.

They're definitely great attributes.

The boost to this attribute can push the damage after growing to a whole new level.

And the reduction in Block doesn't matter.

Block mainly relies on a shield, and secondarily on a weapon.

With Block reduced, it'll be harder to block enemy attacks — there might even be block failures.

For ordinary people that's a pretty serious nerf, but for the female soldiers using Doubling Body Art, it doesn't matter.

It's not that there's no effect — there definitely is — it's just that it doesn't matter.

After all, the extra boost to Vitality can roughly offset this debuff.

And there's still the increase to Attack and Special Attack, so overall it's still a net gain in strength.

Only the spiritual power cost has gone up further — up to 100 points of spiritual power at maximum.

Honestly, that's a lot.

It's equivalent to an ordinary person's entire spiritual power.

Luckily, the women of Taoyuan aren't exactly ordinary people.

Inside Gu Qing, Zhao Chi can boost her spiritual power to over 6,300 points, enough for 63 uses.

Add in the recovery effect of medicine, and she can use it even more times.

At least it's enough.

Time to go test the actual effect.

"Qiyue, come out with me for a moment. Let's go to the front of the tailor shop."

Qiyue was lying down.

She was a little surprised to hear Zhao Chi say that. But she didn't ask more, obediently got up, and dutifully followed Zhao Chi outside the tailor shop.

It was the dead of night.

A few torches burned sparsely across the territory.

Those torches were all lit for Zhao Chi — if he wasn't around, the other women wouldn't bother using torches for light at all.

Outside was still lively.

The female villagers' chatter, laughter, and working sounds drifted in from every direction.

Qiyue said a little shyly, "My lord, should I kneel on these steps? Or hold onto the window frame and bend over?"

Zhao Chi looked at the bare, snow-white Qiyue, not understanding: "Huh?"

Qiyue said softly, "I mean, what position would you like to use?"

Zhao Chi caught on.

Was Qiyue thinking he wanted to be intimate with her in front of the tailor shop?

He couldn't really blame her — after all, he had just told her to lie on the bed and wait for him, which was for that very thing.

So now that he told her to come to the doorway, of course she'd think he'd changed the location.

And it wasn't as if Zhao Chi hadn't been intimate with them outside before — on the white stone bank by the Carefree Spring, he'd done plenty to them.

Zhao Chi laughed and said, "No, I want to test a new skill. You don't have to do anything — just stand right here. I'm going to use the new Giant Body Art on you."

"Ah!? Oh…"

Qi Moon pressed her lips together, smiling a little awkwardly as she looked at Zhao Chi, her hands resting between her legs, standing obediently.

Zhao Chi had wanted to use it directly, but doing so would mean missing Gu Qing's bonus, and it wouldn't be the true effect.

"Qi Moon, wait a moment. I'll go find Gu Qing."

"Mm, okay."

He found Gu Qing in Chaoge Town and told her about the new skill.

Gu Qing nodded gladly: "Alright, wait a moment. I'll call Zhuang Ya and Wei Leng over, so we can see the comparative effect."

"Okay."

Soon, Zhao Chi, Gu Qing, Zhuang Ya, Qi Moon, and Wei Leng were all standing at the entrance of the tailor shop.

Gu Qing said: "Qi Moon, just stay as you are, no need to wear clothes. Zhuang Ya, you also stay in your current fashion state. Wei Leng, switch to your armor. In a moment, let my lord Zhao Chi see the situation in different forms."

"Yes."

Then Gu Qing smiled at Zhao Chi: "my lord, you may proceed."

Immediately after, Zhao Chi activated the Giant Art skill, pulled the growth multiplier to its limit, and clicked to use it.

Three strange rays of light emerged and drilled into the three women's bodies respectively.

In an instant, Qi Moon, Zhuang Ya, and Wei Leng rapidly grew larger.

Gu Qing's gaze rose quickly along with their bodies.

Too big!

Wei Leng was a combat captain, but at her core she was still a female soldier; using Giant Art on her was equivalent to using Multiplication Art on a female soldier.

Looking at just one of them, one could know what the situation was for the other female soldiers.

She was of course also a slender, beautiful woman, but now she had completely become a giant steel-armored puppet.

Her two long, slender legs had directly become pillars wrapped in steel; one kick from her could send a person flying, or kill them outright.

Gu Qing's height of 1.72 meters, now still wearing high heels with thin, long heels—Gu Qing already exceeded 1.8 meters.

Yet she had only just reached Wei Leng's crotch.

Looking up, she was practically an iron tower.
