Tang Zheng naturally had no intention of explaining.
The skill effects displayed by a "High-Tier Job" were completely different from the Martial Arts of this world, so it was perfectly normal to be mistaken for Magic.
"I was careless just now."
Go Gin took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. His fierce white eyes looked at Tang Zheng, now regarding him as a true opponent.
"My weapon was also a bit lacking." Hearing what the other party said, Tang Zheng raised the remaining cracked hilt in his hand and casually threw it on the ground.
Go Gin's pupils shrank as he saw the shattered pieces of the Iron Sword on the ground.
What exactly happened just now? In that instant, besides his body becoming stiff, his mind was also somewhat dazed. By the time he reacted, this deep wound had already appeared on his chest.
Was the Magic just now at the cost of destroying the weapon?
The thought flashed quickly through Go Gin's mind. His thick thighs lowered slightly, and his eyes widened.
"Outer Skin Enhancement!"
Go Gin roared in a low voice, then clenched his fists with both hands and spoke again, "*Outer Skin Super-Enhancement!*"
A layer of light brown light flickered across Go Gin's entire body, followed by an even brighter layer of light brown light.
From a distance.
Go Gin's dark green skin seemed to be covered in a metallic luster.
Tang Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, glancing at the information that appeared on the attribute panel. He always attached great importance to the unique Martial Arts of this different world.
Especially enhancement-type Martial Arts, which were completely different from Magic enhancements.
For example, enhancement Magic such as "Magic Enhancement" and "Magic Super-Enhancement", if used at the same time, would only retain the Highest Tier of enhancement Magic.
But Martial Arts were different!
Using "Outer Skin Enhancement" and "Outer Skin Super-Enhancement" together would not only retain one like Magic, but would stack.
This was the special feature of Martial Arts! Tang Zheng withdrew his gaze from the attribute panel, not learning these two enhancement-type Martial Arts.
It wasn't that he didn't want to learn them, but that he couldn't use them.
Humans, apart from a thin layer of skin, did not have an outer skin like Demi-humans, so this type of enhancement could not be used by humans.
"I underestimated you, human Alchemist."
Go Gin's rough voice rang out, his thick, slender arms hanging down, reaching his thighs past his waist. He solemnly opened his mouth, "Next, I will only attack once. If you can withstand it, I will apologize for my arrogance."
After saying these words.
Go Gin felt slightly ashamed. His Warrior's intuition allowed him to vaguely sense that Tang Zheng's aura was not as strong as his.
The other party was also a Magic Caster skilled in Alchemy.
Under these circumstances, he was not only injured and forced to retreat by the other party, but was also forced to use his strongest defensive means to prevent the attack from just now.
Hearing Go Gin's words.
"One match to determine the outcome? I'm taking advantage." Tang Zheng said, but his gaze relaxed slightly.
In terms of pure strength.
Tang Zheng was self-aware. With his current level, he was not yet a match for the Go Gin in front of him.
The only way to defeat the other party was through a long-range war of attrition. Taking advantage of Go Gin's inability to fly, Tang Zheng could summon a Flame Archangel to take him into the sky and then attack.
However.
The Magic Scrolls of the Flame Archangel in his hand were almost completely consumed in the Great Swamp, with the only gain being Experience Bar: 20152/10000.
Barely breaking through 20,000, he could steadily level up once.
The remaining two Magic Scrolls were also destroyed by Go Gin in the previous battle.
As for the three days returning to the Imperial Capital, Tang Zheng only casually created two Flame Archangel Magic Scrolls, and most of the remaining Mana was injected into the "Death Orb 110/280".
So, even fighting a war of attrition was a bit difficult.
Go Gin's sudden visit was completely unexpected, leaving Tang Zheng unprepared.
However!
He had revealed the Dark Wave ability earlier to prepare for a war of attrition.
Tang Zheng glanced at Go Gin's wound, where blood was still flowing, his gaze calm.
After the Cursed Knight is raised to 3Lv, the damage caused by the curse will make low-level healing unable to treat it and inhibit regeneration.
This has a natural restraining effect on races such as Ogres that rely on regeneration! Go Gin might not realize it yet, but after a little while, the negative state of just bleeding will be enough to exhaust Go Gin to death.
"I'm going to attack!"
Go Gin warned, his fierce aura instantly released.
Boom! The ground shook.
Go Gin's legs spread apart, his massive figure like a speeding train, rushing towards Tang Zheng, creating a strong gust of wind.
At the same time!
A Martial Arts glow flashed across Go Gin's body again: "Flow Acceleration!"
His already extremely fast speed suddenly increased another level. Just as he was about to rush in front of Tang Zheng, Go Gin seemed to be preventing Tang Zheng from using the same method as before.
Bang! His foot pressed down hard, leaping into the air, using the force of his massive body falling, he swung his fist down.
With this kind of technique! Even if Tang Zheng used that method again that could make him lose consciousness and body control, he could still continue to attack by using the downward trend of his body falling freely.
"What strong combat intuition."
Tang Zheng looked at Go Gin in the air, who had turned into a giant rock smashing down, a hint of surprise appearing on his face.
Even Tang Zheng himself did not expect that he could use such a strategy to avoid the stiff state of his body.
In addition, this attack method, even if he summoned the Flame Archangel for defense, would not be very effective. The opponent would use his weight to press the angel down with him.
Use Fourth Tier Angel Summoning? There's no need! The light of Tang Zheng's Mana flashed all over his body, and his body rapidly shrank at a speed visible to the naked eye. With a movement of his feet, he shot away from the spot like an arrow.
Shrink! In the blink of an eye, Tang Zheng had already appeared dozens of meters away.
Boom! Go Gin punched empty, forming a visible wave of air. In his white, fierce eyes, he saw Tang Zheng easily avoiding his attack, revealing a hint of excitement.
He hadn't encountered such an interesting opponent in a long time.
Clearly weaker than him, he was not only able to injure him, but also able to easily dodge his attacks.
Go Gin suppressed the excitement in his heart, his sharp teeth protruding as he grinned, looking at Tang Zheng with no concealment and said, "I lost, human Alchemist."
If the opponent was a weakling, Go Gin would not bother to have any communication with him, but the brief exchange just now made Go Gin realize that Tang Zheng was not a weakling, but a strong man with mysterious Magic methods.
"Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Go Gin."
Go Gin said straightforwardly.
"Free Will Tang." Tang Zheng's body swayed, and his size returned to its original state.
Bang! Go Gin crossed his legs and sat down on the ground with a thud: "Then let's talk, Tang."
"Okay."
"However, before that, the injuries on your body need to be treated first."
Tang Zheng's voice was calm, and he pointed to the sword wound on Go Gin's chest that was still bleeding, it seemed that due to the violent movements just now, the speed of the blood gushing out was even faster.
Go Gin looked at his chest, his white pupils contracting.
As a race born with powerful regeneration abilities, those fatal injuries in the eyes of humans could be recovered with just a little time for him.
But now! This wound, which he considered at most a minor injury, had not recovered until now, and the amount of bleeding was obviously abnormal.
"You..."
Go Gin raised his head, opened his mouth and paused.
At this moment.
The various forces of the Imperial Capital waiting outside the Noble Courtyard and watching the excitement looked at the closed door with some doubts.
They naturally knew why the 'Martial King' Go Gin would appear here, but logically, it shouldn't have taken this long.
Yet, until now, everything inside remained calm.
Time passed bit by bit! Until evening.
Go Gin finally pushed open the heavy, exquisitely crafted door and walked out of the Noble Courtyard, scanning the many puzzled gazes outside.
"Hmph."
Go Gin let out a cold snort.
Ignoring the group, he solemnly closed the door before leaving. His massive figure commanded the road, with countless pedestrians actively making way.
Astonishment flickered across the faces of many in the crowd.
From just Go Gin's small action,
the group immediately realized that something they didn't know about must have happened inside.
This information was also delivered to the Bloody Emperor at the first possible moment.
If it were other matters, the Bloody Emperor wouldn't care, but as a fan of the 'Martial King' Go Gin, and also concerning the symbol of the Empire,
the Bloody Emperor immediately sent someone to have Osk from the Imperial Arena inquire with Go Gin about what exactly had happened.
For a mere Alchemist to make the 'Martial King' Go Gin stay there for such a long time seemed abnormal no matter how one looked at it.
Inside the luxurious palace.
The Bloody Emperor paced back and forth in the room, his slender fingers pressed against his chin, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Unique Alchemy techniques."
"Using Ogre blood to concoct potions..."
The Bloody Emperor Jircniv raised his head, golden pupils flashing, "Could it be that the other party's goal from the beginning was the 'Martial King' Go Gin?"
"It doesn't seem like it; this person is becoming more and more problematic."
Knock! Knock! A gentle knock sounded.
"Enter," the Bloody Emperor Jircniv said without looking up.
The Secretary cautiously pushed the door open and walked in.
"Speak."
"Osk inquired, but the Martial King said nothing, only that he had canceled all his matches for the next few days."
The air fell into a brief silence.
"Continue to arrange manpower to keep a close watch on that Alchemist."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Late at night, the Noble District Courtyard.
Tang Zheng looked at the moon in the sky, obscured by dark clouds, and smiled softly, saying to the Small Evil Spirit Dog beside him, "It's time for us to leave too."
"Woof," the Small Evil Spirit Dog responded.
Tang Zheng reached out his palm and patted the Small Evil Spirit Dog on the head: "Shrink."
The Small Evil Spirit Dog's body trembled, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into the size of an ordinary puppy.
Tang Zheng then took out a feather from some kind of bird from his Item Box, held it in his hand, and his body began to glow with emerald light.
"Wild Transformation!"
Whoosh! Tang Zheng's body twisted and contracted slightly, transforming into a large Hawk more than a meter tall.
...
Skill: Wild Transformation (Ⅰ) Consumption: Requires consuming a corresponding material from a beast or Demon Creature when transforming; the material can only be used once.
Introduction: The transformed beast or Demon Creature cannot exceed the transformer's size; after transforming, the abilities from before the transformation cannot be used.
When the transformer's level exceeds the level of the transformed beast or Demon Creature, it is calculated according to the limit of the beast or Demon Creature's own level.
...
Tang Zheng slightly shook his body, still somewhat unaccustomed to the slightly weakened wild beast form.
He glanced at the stats panel: Hawk (8Lv)
"The highest is only level 8?"
A human voice came from the sharp hawk's beak.
Whoosh!
Wide and powerful wings spread open and flapped powerfully.
Tang Zheng grabbed the shrunken Small Evil Spirit Dog and soared into the air, disappearing into the night.
