Chapter 3074

But he was very clear—he knew Tang Ruan, this giant meat shield, was meant to take hits…

So this effect suited her perfectly.

Fortunately, it only applied to enemies; Zhao Chi never had any thought of hitting her, only found her utterly adorable.

The second effect greatly increases the probability of enemies launching full-power attacks.

Zhao Chi didn't understand this effect at first.

Who doesn't attack with full power?

After all, war is a matter of life and death, and with Tang Ruan's innate Provoke Technique, why wouldn't they go all out?

But after reading the note, Zhao Chi understood.

"Full power" here truly meant full power.

Upon encountering Tang Ruan, enemies would likely immediately unleash their skills, unleash their ultimate moves, and exhaust all their hidden cards.

They would dump every powerful ability directly onto Tang Ruan, holding nothing back.

They wouldn't even consider conserving stamina or spiritual power.

Truly, they would give everything they had.

How miserable is Tang Ruan?

This title truly deserves the name "Fated Beauty."

Fortunately, her life force is strong enough to withstand this title.

The more enemies hit her, the more they exhaust their skills and hidden cards, the more Tang Ruan's value becomes evident.

When enemies dump their powerful skills onto Tang Ruan, the other allies become safe.

Besides skills, enemies will also launch frantic assaults, exhaust battle tactics, and drain their stamina and energy completely.

You could say that as soon as Tang Ruan steps onto the battlefield, the enemy's condition rapidly degrades.

By the time Qi Yue and Zhuang Ya enter the fight, the enemies are already exhausted.

It creates a "fresh versus weary" advantage.

Not bad.

Moreover, when subjected to enemies' full-power attacks, Tang Ruan becomes extremely happy.

Every aspect of this title suits Tang Ruan.

The royal promotion truly does tailor titles to each individual's traits.

No one else would want this title—only Tang Ruan is suited for it.

Besides these.

This title has one final effect: it increases the effectiveness of all Provoke-type skills by 100%.

Tang Ruan has already mastered three levels of Provoke-type spiritual techniques: the basic Provoke Technique, the intermediate Anger Technique, and the advanced Fury Technique.

These three Provoke skills not only lock enemies in place more firmly, but also increase enemy stamina consumption and reduce enemy accuracy.

After all, under rage, attacks are more likely to miss and consume more stamina.

And these effects are greatly amplified by Tang Ruan's title.

Enemies will be firmly held by Tang Ruan, their stamina draining rapidly and their accuracy plummeting.

Moreover, since Tang Ruan enhances Provoke-skill effects, enemy allies using the same-level Purify or Dispel techniques will have poor results—unless they use Gao Jie Purify techniques.

But the title's innate increase in being targeted cannot be purified away by any skill—it is permanently active.

This effect is certainly not as strong as a skill effect.

But it lasts continuously, with no cost.

The "Fated Beauty" title is truly excellent.

Satisfied!

Next, her talent.

Tang Ruan's royal talent is "Suffering Holy Body," which also suits her perfectly.

In every battle, Tang Ruan's damage-taken contribution is the highest, meaning she endures the most attacks and the greatest intensity.

Now with this new title, Tang Ruan will be hit even more easily.

Thus, the "Suffering Holy Body" talent suits her perfectly.

It allows her, while taking hits, to heal allies and damage enemies…

Though 15% isn't explosive, Tang Ruan endures nothing but brutal punishment.

And from now on, she'll always be taking full-power hits.

Then that 15% healing and damage becomes very significant.

Tang Ruan, relying solely on taking hits, could become a support healer…

Pretty good.

Also, that 15% damage to enemies stacks with the 25% counter-damage from the Xuan Nu Armor 6-piece set, reaching roughly 40% total counter-damage.

This value is very high.

Enemies facing Tang Ruan will definitely suffer.

They'll want to hit her, and hit her with full power.

But every time they do, she instantly recovers, heals her allies, and the enemies take 40% counter-damage.

Of course, if there are many enemies, the 15% effect gets diluted—but the principle remains the same.

Not bad.

This talent is also excellent.

It makes Tang Ruan's taking hits far more valuable and gives her more roles to play.

It truly is the "Saint of Suffering Body," naturally suited to taking hits.

Finally.

Tang Ruan also possesses the ability of "Bestowal of Royal Authority."

With the title "Fated Beauty of Misfortune" and the talent "Saint of Suffering Body," Tang Ruan can, by consuming spiritual power, pass these onto subordinates of the Jade Clan.

This way, it would not be just Tang Ruan alone with such effects, but a vast number of Jade Clan female soldiers would all be like this.

They would all be very easy to hit, easy to beat severely, and after taking hits, they could heal each other while simultaneously damaging the enemy.

The Jade Clan would definitely become very qualified meat shields.

Moreover, once the Jade Clan firmly attracts the enemy, the female soldiers of the Moon Clan and the Warm Clan can attack the enemy more concentratedly, and the female soldiers of the Silk Clan can heal more concentratedly.

Combat efficiency can be improved significantly.

Zhao Chi was very satisfied.

He was actually a bit nervous, fearing Tang Ruan's talents and titles might be poor.

Now he could finally rest assured.

Tang Ruan, having been promoted to the Royal Clan, had become vastly more powerful.

Her base attributes were explosive, and her titles and talents were all very practical.

Zhao Chi looked forward very much to her combat performance.

At this moment, Tang Ruan raised her head and saw the joy in Zhao Chi's eyes.

She asked with a slight nervousness, "My lord, what are my new abilities? Judging by your gaze, they shouldn't be bad, right?"

Zhao Chi smiled and said, "Why do you ask me? Didn't you look?"

Tang Ruan shook her head: "I didn't dare look; I was afraid the effect would be poor."

Qi Yue laughed beside her: "Didn't dare? If the effect is poor, wouldn't that activate the effect of your masochistic constitution?"

Tang Ruan continued to shake her head: "This is different. If the effect is very poor, I would indeed feel somewhat happy, but I know that a poor effect would be useless to my lord, and that would not be good."

Zhuang Ya exclaimed: "Tang Ruan, for Zhao Chi's sake, you can even resist the influence of your talent?"

Tang Ruan shook her head: "It's not just me; Sister Zhuang Ya, can't you also hold back from harming my lord?"

"I... this is different; how could I harm him?"

Tang Ruan said: "I am the one who most wants my lord to harm me. Since our two talents are opposite, then you should also most want to harm my lord, right?"

Zhuang Ya murmured: "To be honest, you are right. But that won't do... I cannot let anyone hurt Zhao Chi, not even myself. At most, I can tighten a bit at dawn and make it hotter; beyond that, I cannot bear to do anything else."

Tang Ruan smiled: "Comparing it this way, it seems my talent is a bit better? At least I can let my lord harm me; it's just that he is too reluctant."

Zhuang Ya laughed: "You, Tang Ruan, are getting proud now?"

Gu Qing smiled: "Enough, why are the two of you still chatting? Tang Ruan, hurry up and check your new abilities, then test the effects."

Tang Ruan blinked: "Sister Gu Qing, how are my new abilities?"
