Chapter 449 - 315: Four-Way Melee (16)
They chatted as they walked back.
Soon, Gu Qing and the others started discussing other things.
Zhao Chi finally had time to go through the flood of system messages.
Most of it was the battle report.
Even though the battles involved different enemies, they had all occurred in quick succession and were connected to Zhao Chi’s territory.
Therefore, the system had registered them as a single battle.
[Congratulations on your victory!]

[Congratulations, you have reached Level 22 and gained 6 Enhancement Points.]
[Congratulations, your Spiritual Technique "Encouragement Technique" has been promoted. You have mastered the Middle Level Spiritual Technique "Motivation Skill".]
(Motivation Skill: A Middle Level Support Spiritual Technique. Costs 30 Spiritual Power. Increases Morale by 20% and Critical Strike by 10%. Duration: 10 minutes.)
What a long stream of information.
But Zhao Chi loved reading these kinds of reports.
After all, it meant rewards.
It made all the desperate fighting feel worthwhile.
He immediately noticed that his Spiritual Technique had been upgraded.
Encouragement Technique had been promoted into Motivation Skill.
Originally, Encourage only increased Morale by 10%. Now, Motivation Skill not only doubled the Morale boost to 20%, but it also added a 10% Critical Strike bonus.
In other words, Motivation Skill was a complete upgrade over Encouragement Technique.
Based on the calculations for the female soldiers with an Appearance of 6...
...factoring in the Female Expert, Spiritual Pressure, and Position bonuses...
...when Zhao Chi used Motivation Skill, he could increase their Morale by 56% and their Critical Strike by 28%.
’Those numbers were high. Pretty impressive!’
And that was just the bonus for the female soldiers.
For Tang Ruan and Qi Yue, after factoring in Affinity, he could increase their Morale by a total of 75% and their Critical Strike by 38%.
As for Gu Qing, he could boost her Morale by 78% and her Critical Strike by 39%.
’With Morale this high, these women would fight like maniacs, howling as they charged in to cut down the enemy.’
’And the Critical Strike bonus was incredibly high, too.’
Zhao Chi happily sent the details of his new Motivation Skill to Gu Qing and the others.
Their conversation abruptly stopped as they all read Zhao Chi’s message.
After a few quick calculations, they realized just how powerful this skill was.
Qi Yue’s eyebrows shot up. "Wow, My Lord! With your skill adding Critical Strike, combined with my fast Attack Speed and my Talent that accumulates an Attack Bonus... adding your crit effect on top of that will make my damage output even stronger!"
Zhao Chi smiled. "That’s right. You’ll be able to cut through anything. You’ll be unstoppable."
Qi Yue gave a slight smile. "You’re exaggerating a little."
Tang Ruan, on the other hand, was focused on the Morale.
"My Lord, with your new skill, my Morale might actually exceed 200%."
Zhao Chi nodded. "It definitely will. Your Morale was already the highest in the army."
Tang Ruan covered her mouth with her hand as she smiled. "In that case, my combat effectiveness will skyrocket! I’ll be able to perform at my absolute peak."
Zhao Chi said encouragingly, "Of course. You are my vanguard and my shield. Keep it up."
"Yes, I will!"
Gu Qing’s focus, however, remained unchanged.
True to her personality.
"My Lord, this Critical Strike... what all does it entail?"
It was a very basic question.
Zhao Chi didn’t know why she was asking; it was something everyone knew.
But he answered anyway, "Critical Strike? Isn’t it just dealing extra damage?"
Gu Qing gave a seductive smile. "Does it work in... close-quarters grappling?"
Zhao Chi understood instantly.
"You’re not thinking about bedroom matters again, are you?"
"Hee hee, of course I am. If it really works, you’ll be able to help us gain Energy Points much faster. It’d be more efficient."
Zhao Chi scratched his head. "I hadn’t considered that... I guess we can try it tonight."
"Hee hee, let’s try."
Zhao Chi went back to reading the battle report.
The number of participants in this battle was slightly lower than before.
The villagers from Huang Bian’s and Xiao Ning’s territories hadn’t participated in the fighting, so the system hadn’t included them in the count.
Zhao Chi’s 204-person force had faced the 1,627 people of Huang Bian, Xiao Ning, and Iwagaki, killing 1,292 of them.
’When fighting Huang Bian’s 400 Beastmen, his forces had crushed them outright.’
’Qi Yue’s abilities against Tier One and Tier Two enemy soldiers were like a hot knife through butter; she was completely unstoppable.’
’Against Xiao Ning’s 1,000 Human Soldiers, their progress had been slower.’
’This was mainly because of the 200 Tier Three Legion Soldiers. Qi Yue’s damage was still powerful, but she couldn’t cut straight through them.’
’It seemed promoting a soldier’s tier resulted in a significant boost to their power.’
’And finally, fighting Iwagaki’s 200 Werewolves had been an absolute nightmare.’
The 70 female soldiers from the Zhao Chi Army who had died were all killed by those Werewolves.
’It had been far too close.’
’Moreover, at the start of the battle, Gu Qing and Qi Yue hadn’t gone to support Tang Ruan directly; they had both been involved in the fight against the Werewolves.’
’If those two had gone to support Tang Ruan right away, the casualties among the female soldiers might have been even higher.’
This time, they had killed one High Level Lord.
’That was, without a doubt, Iwagaki.’
’And the Middle Level Lord and three Middle Level Heroes who were killed must have been Xiao Ning and her subordinates.’
