Ye Zhongming naturally did not understand what a space-time storm was, which was why he insisted on opening that space-time gate to take a look.
On one hand, he needed to have a clear understanding of it in order to form a rough concept, even if it wasn't comprehensive. On the other hand, he wanted the little guy to feel the situation inside and see if there was a way to enter.
Although the feedback he received was fairly good, it wasn't very certain, which was why Ye Zhongming was cautiously upgrading the spirits to maturity and also making special armor for them.
As for the materials for the armor, it was naturally primarily made from Dragon Scales, but it didn't have to be from the starry giant dragon.
At first, Ye Zhongming used the scales of the starry giant dragon as the base material, mainly because he valued their defensive capabilities. However, he couldn't clearly define the types of damage caused by the space-time storm, so he could only experiment repeatedly, simulating that mysterious force while communicating with the elemental spirits to get some suggestions and insights from them.
Fortunately, after witnessing the energy storm in that passage and experiencing the slightly emanating power for himself, Ye Zhongming had a relatively clear target. He also had a general idea in his mind; after so many experiments, he felt he had grasped some substantial information.
After conducting many experiments with the scales of the starry giant dragon, he then began to use the scales of the water elemental, ice elemental, and earth elemental dragons to create armor.
The process was basically similar; most of the manufacturing attempts failed, and the quality of the successful products varied greatly—some were excellent while others were terrible.
At this point, no one felt that Ye Zhongming was unstable anymore. It was clear that he was searching for a suitable or correct way to create some special equipment.
The situation came to a halt at one moment because the Star Spirit told Ye Zhongming that it had fully digested all the absorbed energy.
Thus, Ye Zhongming began drinking Dragon Blood again to purify energy for the Star Spirit to absorb.
The energy required for the elemental spirits to reach maturity was incredibly vast. Even after drinking all the Dragon Blood from the starry giant dragon, there was no significant change, so Chao Yang had to go down to the Fragment Star Belt once more. Counting this time that Ye Zhongming chose, it was the third time, and this time Chao Yang brought up ten relics.
However, it still wasn't enough.
Commander Cheng Liujin and the others were stunned, as was Chao Yang, and even the giant dragons below were shocked. Ye Zhongming himself was quite surprised too.
Was this little guy really that gluttonous?
Chao Yang was quite anxious because below, its companions might give in and suffer complete death at any moment.
But now there was nothing it could do, so it brought back more than thirty relics this time, with Dragon Blood numbering in the hundreds of bottles.
It just couldn't believe that the energy produced after these offerings was still not enough for Ye Zhongming to use. Even the most powerful Rebel Dragon Race, if it consumed so much Dragon Blood before, should have been able to replenish its energy several times. If it weren't for the fact that Ye Zhongming was continuously absorbing and purifying, Chao Yang would have suspected that Ye Zhongming was playing tricks.
While making use of the time to digest energy, Ye Zhongming continued creating equipment, transitioning from armor to other types like helmets and battle boots.
This manufacturing attempt started off like the previous ones, with the equipment being unstable, varying in quality, and having single functions; they weren't suitable for use and could only be considered failures awaiting recycling.
However, later on, the equipment Ye Zhongming created began to look "decent," with overall performance surpassing many premium renyi level items.
These pieces of equipment naturally delighted the members of the clan leader's guard, with those who received new equipment beaming with joy, while those who didn't could only wait anxiously.
