"Set Attribute 1: Howling Guard. When the shields collide, whether it is a normal collision or during skill activation, a sound is produced that enhances the user's abilities, putting them into an excited state and increasing their combat power. The effect lasts for ten minutes, and the skill has no cooldown."
"Set Attribute 2: Shield Dance. When the user raises both shields to their sides and activates this skill, they enter a high-speed spinning state that weakens and deflects incoming attacks. The weakening rate is based on the sum of the user's evolution level and shield level compared to the attacker’s levels. The deflection happens in the direction of the attacker. If the user collides with a target during Shield Dance, the target will be drawn to the user, continuously suffering attacks equal to the sum of the shields' defense for a duration of two minutes, with a cooldown of ten hours."
At this point, all the attributes of the equipment called Traditional Shields were displayed in front of Ye Zhongming.
Ye Zhongming was quite tempted; he even had the idea of keeping the shields for himself. But he quickly calmed down.
This item was naturally not suitable for him, or rather, not suitable for any non-defense evolver. After all, this was a two-handed equipment, and there was no third hand to hold an offensive weapon.
Of course, this excluded those 'monsters' with many limbs, like those in Guan Cheng Village.
The purple gear naturally had its characteristics, mostly increasing abilities in percentages. The distribution of active and defensive abilities was also quite reasonable and powerful.
For instance, the active abilities of Relentless Shield Strike and Indifferent Charge were both offensive abilities. The Door God Summon was even a summon skill that posed a continuous threat. The fact that the Door God gear was of the same level as the shield made it even more desirable. With both being purple gear, even if only physical abilities were considered, they were quite formidable.
For example, in the passive abilities, the Same Source Blessing enhances the power of other defensive abilities, while the Heavenly Gift Fate is even more terrifying as it can automatically repair damage and even permanently increase defensive capabilities.
Ye Zhongming only glanced at the basic attributes of this pair of shields, but he clearly remembered the value: seven thousand!
Seven thousand defense value!
Back when he became the golden Jingjue Floating Sphere, the two thousand defense value had already shaken Ye Zhongming to his core. Seven thousand; he even felt that this pair of shields could withstand the Holy Father's full-power strike.
As time goes on, this value would only increase. Ye Zhongming did not yet know how fast it would grow, but it could potentially exceed ten thousand defense points. This item had infinite growth potential.
There were two set attributes, probably because there were only two items, but both were excellent skills. The first, Howling Guard, was similar to a frenzy potion with no side effects. The second was both offensive and defensive, providing fourteen thousand points of attack power while also reducing incoming damage and possibly deflecting those skills back towards the attacker, with a chance to return the favor.
Ye Zhongming looked at the weakening attacks. The description was quite complicated, but it was actually easy to understand. For example, if Ye Zhongming used these shields and was attacked by a seven-star evolver wielding a golden item, the weakened attack rate when hitting Ye Zhongming would be the sum of Ye Zhongming’s eight-star level and the shield’s seven level, which equals fifteen, minus the attacker’s seven-star level and the golden item’s six level, which equals thirteen. The final result is two, meaning the attack would be weakened by twenty percent.
Ye Zhongming did not take long to understand the equipment attributes thoroughly. What truly made him ponder for a long time was the moment he successfully repaired these shields and the images that appeared in his mind.
