Previously, Ye Zhongming was also able to create green weapons and equipment, such as the Thousand Leaf Scale Armor and sand dance.
However, these were all made according to blueprints, strictly following the materials, proportions, refining time, heat control, and other processes detailed within. Ye Zhongming’s subjective initiative was reflected in his significantly higher success rate than other craftsmen, as well as in the integration of some rare materials with excellent compatibility, such as Ghost Gold and Drilling Sea Gold, to enhance the quality and capabilities of the final product.
But creating a green piece of equipment out of thin air was something he truly found challenging.
Even if he pushed the same-type enhancements to their limits, he couldn't escape the hard rules of color limitations and blood refinement upgrades.
However, now with the addition of Nourishing Life Soil, a national specialty, everything had changed.
National specialties are ultimately materials that surpass ordinary ones, reaching a level where they can allow equipment to transcend grade boundaries.
Of course, Ye Zhongming understood that this effect wouldn’t be limitless; at a certain point, it would also lose its ability.
But at least for now, this enhancement was extremely important to Ye Zhongming, even to the point of being crucial, because it allowed the warriors of Cloud Summit to genuinely gain a distance in equipment quality from the most elite and powerful forces on Earth. With evolution levels being somewhat similar, a strategic advantage could form, and if the evolution levels could even lead, that strategic advantage would turn into a crushing one.
At that point, invincibility was not guaranteed, but at least Ye Zhongming could brazenly challenge anyone.
Even though Ye Zhongming had acquired many wonderful treasures, he couldn’t help but express the most sincere admiration within his heart upon encountering the national specialty, Nourishing Life Soil!
What a great treasure! An unparalleled treasure!
Ye Zhongming then thought of Stardust Sand and other national specialties from various regions, feeling an irresistible urge.
What kind of miraculous effects do those items have?
“Earth's Profound Essence Battle Armor! Defense 680!”
“Ability 1, Double Fortification. The armor has an inner layer that possesses 30% of the outer armor's defense and can buffer against impact damage from weapons and skills.”
“Ability 2, Sound Reflection. When the armor is attacked, it converts a portion of the damage into a sound wave attack that rebounds back to the attacker, causing mental damage.”
“Ability 3, Firmness. Active ability; when needed, the user can activate this skill to double the armor's defense while halving movement speed. Cooldown time 500 hours.”
“Ability 4, Same Type Annihilation. When facing Earth attribute skill damage, damage is reduced by 30%.”
“Additional attribute of the Earth Defense Equipment: Thick Earth Veins. Wearers of the Earth Defense Equipment increase their total defense by 5% while fighting on the ground.”
These are the abilities and attributes of this battle armor. Even from Ye Zhongming’s perspective, it was quite impressive. Not only was the defense close to 700, but abilities like Firmness and Sound Reflection, as well as Double Fortification, made this equipment well-rounded in both offense and defense.
Moreover, the Earth Defense Equipment’s additional 5% defense boost pushed its defense beyond 700! If Firmness was activated, it would exceed 1400 defense!
What was the defense of the Jingjue Floating Sphere? Only about 2000! This piece of armor was already approaching that level.
Ye Zhongming let out a breath; considering the attributes of the Earth Defense Equipment, which included Thick Earth Veins, its overall capabilities were already comparable to the Thousand Leaf Phosphorescent Armor, and in terms of defense, it far surpassed the latter!
After explaining the abilities of the Profound Essence Battle Armor to Xiao Min, Xia Bai's deputy forcibly hugged Ye Zhongming and planted a kiss on him, then walked out with a delighted expression.
