"Boss, what is this?" Oligar asked, looking at the dark object in Ye Zhongming's hand.
Now, everyone in the first division basically called Ye Zhongming "boss," just like Shiyong. There was no other way; he was powerful.
This strength was not only reflected in combat ability. After seeing Ye Zhongming transform, everyone understood that there was no point in comparing their individual combat power and skills. They knew that with just one punch, he could easily defeat them, so there was no competition.
Whether it was a strong warrior like Oligar, who was held back from a higher position due to his overly aggressive nature despite having over fifty thousand fuleira, or Amy, a spell warrior with immense attack power, they all respected Ye Zhongming in this regard.
On another level, it was because Ye Zhongming could truly make combat easier.
Either he had good tactics, or he had good equipment, or he had excellent support tools. In this respect, they admired Ye Zhongming even more.
So far, they had never seen anyone lead subordinates into battle quite like Ye Zhongming.
Not to mention the first squad, even the other nine squads in the first division had obtained a lot of good items. This had significantly increased their combat power, and because of the group formations, each squad had become very skilled at cooperating. This kind of interplay between various races and professions had greatly enhanced their combat effectiveness.
The result was that in the recent battle against the leviathan scorpion, not a single one of the three thousand men had died. Only a few had sustained minor injuries or been poisoned, but they recovered immediately with the Long Void Water Clan's medicines.
This feeling of being able to fight and gain rewards without any worries was simply fantastic, leading the members of the ten squads to trust and admire Ye Zhongming tremendously, if not worship him.
"It's a shield."
A shield warrior's face twitched slightly as he looked at the dark object, which was not much larger than his fist, feeling a bit confused. What could such a small thing defend against?
Ye Zhongming noticed this and laughed, tossing the shield, which was about fifty centimeters in diameter and irregularly shaped, to the defensive warrior. "Give it a try, inject some energy into the handle."
The defensive warrior wasn't polite; he took it and noticed a length-adjustable handle at the back. After adjusting it to suit his right hand, he infused some energy into it.
The unremarkable shield immediately lit up, appearing as if coated in a layer of oil.
"This is the first stage. After a small amount of energy is injected, the shield's defensive power will be greatly enhanced. It's better than what you're currently using, probably reaching... slightly below crimson condensation level, and it's quite effective against individual attacks that don't exceed the area of the shield."
Upon hearing Ye Zhongming's explanation, the shield warrior's eyes lit up. His previously disdainful look towards the shield transformed into one of fondness.
"During regular combat, you can maintain this state. After injecting energy, you don't have to worry about it; the shield will automatically absorb energy to maintain its current form until you are severely injured and unable to provide energy or lose consciousness. Don’t worry, it doesn't consume much."
Ye Zhongming continued, explaining that this shield was made from the shell of the leviathan scorpion, a pure roulette technology product.
He wouldn't disclose in front of these people that he had mastered Tarros Red Dwarf technology.
"There’s another form. If you fully activate it and fill it with the required energy, you can give it a try," Ye Zhongming gestured for him to continue injecting energy.
The shield warrior immediately began to input energy. As more energy flowed in, some energy avatars started to appear around the shield, intriguing the other warriors who gathered around to watch.
When the shield warrior's energy input reached the limit needed for the shield, the surrounding energy avatars had expanded to cover an area of over ten square meters.
