Chapter 512

Zhuang Ya waved her hands continuously, and flames were everywhere.

The ogres had nowhere to hide; their skin was burned until large amounts of grease were released, and the grease was then ignited.

A fragrance actually appeared in the air.

But the female soldiers and female elves all felt a bit nauseated.

The ogres had turned into walking oil barrels, their bodies covered in fire, running around in agony, having completely lost the ability to resist.

Yet Zhuang Ya laughed as she pursued them.

"Why are you running? Do you want to stay away from such a beautiful sister? Ah hahahahaha~"

One person drove a group of ogres, running around everywhere.

Everyone watched her in silent speechlessness.

Su Qin asked cautiously: "Zhao Chi, is she alright? Is her mental state okay?"

It was Zhao Chi's first time seeing this too.

But he could already be considered experienced: "It's fine, Zhuang Ya... is just this kind of personality..."

Zhao Chi gained a new understanding of the power of flames, and also a new understanding of Zhuang Ya.

Although these ogres were humanoid, they were essentially beasts.

Whether it was magical beasts or wild beasts, they had an innate fear of fire.

And these ogres clearly lacked intelligence, being easily suppressed and driven by Zhuang Ya alone.

But in essence, they were being driven by the flames.

If they were facing intelligent beings, Zhuang Ya might not have fought so easily.

The entire battlefield had been divided into three parts.

The middle battlefield.

Tang Ruan firmly attracted over a hundred ogres.

The female spearmen kept thrusting, thrusting, thrusting, having already dealt with dozens.

"Everyone, keep shooting, support Tang Ruan!"

Su Qin's female elves were also shooting continuously, likewise killing dozens.

The right battlefield.

Behind Qi Qi Yue's swordsman squad, there were nothing but severed limbs and broken arms.

Blood and fat were everywhere.

The female soldiers were covered in blood plasma.

The ogres had already collapsed, fleeing in all directions toward the center and the surroundings.

The left battlefield.

Fragrance permeated the air.

Oil smoke billowed.

Zhuang Ya had moved far away from the team, but her wanton laughter could be heard across the entire battlefield.

"Ah hahahahaha, why are you running? Why are you running! Hahahaha!!"

Dozens of ogres were set on fire by her, howling as they ran wildly.

More than ten were chased and burned to death by her.

Finally, her spiritual power was exhausted.

But her laughter did not stop; instead, she took out her steel shield and steel blade.

"Medium-rare, barely edible! Big Sister will help you slice it up, yo-ho~ hahahaha."

The female soldiers held their breath, listening to her laughter, and pursued the scattered ogres.

The battle had basically ended.

Zhao Chi ordered: "All units, pursue!"

The female soldiers rushed out instantly, their formation spreading out.

The female elves looked at Su Qin.

Su Qin shouted: "When Zhao Chi is here, follow his orders primarily!"

"Yes!"

The female elves also immediately dispersed, finding their own targets to shoot.

After another period of time, the battle ended completely.

The ground was a mess.

Oil smoke permeated the air.

It felt greasy on everyone's faces.

All the female soldiers and female elves had one thought: go back and take a bath quickly.

This battle was not difficult.

For Zhao Chi, it was even very simple.

He didn't even use his Magnification Art, let alone skills like genetic enhancement.

But the system still gave a normal difficulty rating.

Zhao Chi's 154 people contributed 78%.

Su Qin's 504 people contributed 22%.

The gap between the two sides was large.

But Su Qin and those female elves were not dissatisfied; on the contrary, they were very happy.

"Zhao Chi, it's really great to fight with you. This time, one could say there were zero losses. The durability of the armor didn't drop at all, only some arrows were lost. We won easily."

Zhao Chi deliberately praised her: "Having you here also solved my need for ranged power; we complement each other."

Su Qin started staring at Zhao Chi again, as if afraid she was dreaming.

But she then said: "I know, my strength is indeed far behind yours, but I will work hard to improve, trying my best not to hold you back."

Zhao Chi comforted her: "Your first round of arrows was very strong. If the opponent wasn't ogres but a normal race, it would definitely have caused massive casualties. The subsequent rapid-fire tactics are even better at attacking those nimble enemies, like skeletons and goblins. If you can leverage your advantages, you will definitely be very strong."

Su Qin smiled: "Mm, I understand. Give me some time, and I will desperately chase after your footsteps."

Zhao Chi nodded: "I believe you will definitely catch up to me soon."

Su Qin said happily: "I've already caught up to you; you were already my man yesterday, hehe."

Zhao Chi laughed: "That's true. But I see that your heroes have very few spirit arts. Only one or two, why not learn more? After all, you can learn 5 spirit arts, and skill books aren't expensive; there should be many suitable ones."

Su Qin tilted her head in confusion.

Then she laughed: "Hehe, Zhao Chi, is your basic knowledge not solid?"

"Basic knowledge? I learned it very well."

"Is that so? Then why don't you know this rule?"

"What? Tell me quickly."

Su Qin said softly: "You can only learn 5 spirit arts, unless you comprehend more after advancing, which allows you to exceed 5. You know this, right?"

"That's common knowledge, of course I know."

"Mm, after learning the full 5 spirit arts, you can't learn new ones. Unless you use items to erase them or expand the number of spirit arts, do you know this?"

"I know."

"The improvement of spirit arts requires the accumulation of experience. The more you use a spirit art, and the better the effect after using it, the more experience you get."

"I know this too, for example, Zhuang Ya burned so many ogres today, which gave much more experience than her burning at the air by herself."

"Yes. But the more spirit arts you have, the lower the experience multiplier. Did you not know this rule?"

There was this rule too?

Zhao Chi was dumbfounded.

He really didn't know this rule.

In his impression, the academy hadn't taught it, and Lu Yi hadn't mentioned it when guiding him.

When reading books himself, he hadn't seen it either.

Su Qin laughed: "Seeing your silly look, I know you didn't. So it's not just a matter of the spirit art limit, but also a consideration of spirit art experience. For low-level lords like us, it's best to let heroes specialize in one or two spirit arts."

Zhao Chi was speechless.

He really didn't know this rule.

However, everyone had oversights.

He didn't blame himself.

Things were already like this; regret was meaningless.

Even if the experience gained from spirit art skills didn't have a bonus, having multiple spirit arts had its benefits.

At least he could target more different situations and choose suitable spirit arts.

Zhao Chi nodded: "That's truly important knowledge, thank you for the guidance."

Su Qin teased: "Don't be so formal; I'm very happy to be able to help you even a little, really."

Zhao Chi laughed: "Got it. You didn't gain much experience this time; did anyone level up?"

Su Qin nodded: "Mm, quite a few Tier 1 female elves leveled up. Although the experience isn't too much, there were no losses, so it's all gain."

Zhao Chi didn't gain much experience this time either.

After all, there were only 400 ogres, and he had 658 people on his side; on average, each person didn't even get the experience of one ogre.

But quite a few of those female militia leveled up, which was also fine.

Next was distributing the loot.

The quantity of this loot was a bit strange; it was actually 388.7 ogre corpses.

It was a precise, fractional number.

The missing 11.3 corpses were all burned away, turned into charcoal and oil smoke.

Su Qin said ingratiatingly: "Zhao Chi, take all the loot; I don't want any, and I have no use for these corpses anyway."

Zhao Chi pondered for a moment and didn't decline.

"Alright, I'll take all these ogre corpses. I'll give you more super-bright fire oil later."

"Alright~"

Su Qin agreed happily.

If it were before, Zhao Chi wouldn't have wanted the corpses.

After all, some things were too contrary to human ethics.

But these ogres were fine.

They were considered low-intelligence magical beasts, generally similar to ice bears.

They would all be transported back to be decomposed and used.

Zhao Chi didn't linger too long this time; after all, there was another battle in three days, and he couldn't waste too much time now.

Su Qin didn't keep him either.

After all, Su Qin needed to rest her body.

Things were a bit too intense yesterday, and she was still sore.

If she kept Zhao Chi today, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to resist pouncing on him again, and she feared she would be pierced through by him.
