Chapter 550: Shield

Checking the Lv. 20 Green Qing Qing Gang Ying, Su Xiao's face revealed joy.

The previous mana burst effect disappeared, and a new ability was added. While burning the enemy's mana, it could not only cause true damage equal to the burned mana but also add true damage of 8% of the enemy's lost mana. This ability was much stronger than the mana burst that could only erupt once and had a very long cooldown.

With the increase in Green Qing Qing Gang Ying level, the consumed mana points became increasingly terrifying, reaching a consumption of 50 mana points per minute.

Su Xiao now had 1488 mana points, enough to keep Green Qing Qing Gang Ying open for 30 minutes.

Relatively speaking, the power of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying had increased significantly, incomparable to before.

Not only that, after Green Qing Qing Gang Ying reached Lv. 20, two new abilities appeared. The first was to concretize Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to form an energy shield. The shape of this energy shield was formed according to Su Xiao's conception, which could be circular or rectangular.

The strength of the energy shield was adjustable. Su Xiao could choose to consume 50 to 300 mana points to form an energy shield. The higher the consumed mana points, the higher the strength of the energy shield.

Although Su Xiao's attacks were sharp, defense had always been a weak point. Most battles relied on 'Shelter' or 'Secondary Invincible Shield' to defend against enemy attacks, and if he really couldn't defend, he could only rely on his body to resist.

Both shields had long cooldowns and could only be used once in battle.

Now with the energy shield, it was completely different. The energy shield had no cooldown. As long as Su Xiao had enough mana, the energy shield could be used continuously, giving him a conventional defensive means when facing enemies.

The shape, size, thickness, and even the generation position of the energy shield were decided by Su Xiao. He could instantly generate an energy shield at any position within one meter nearby.

Su Xiao flicked his hand, and a rectangular energy shield appeared out of thin air. Because he deliberately suppressed it, the volume of the energy shield was very small, only the size of a palm, just floating in his palm.

This energy shield was light blue, the blue at the edges was deeper, and overall it was somewhat transparent, not blocking the line of sight. There were fine patterns on the surface of the shield, which wouldn't be discovered without careful observation.

The energy shield floated in mid-air motionless. Su Xiao could control the energy shield with his mind. This was an object generated by the concretization of Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy, and he could control it like an arm, without the slightest feeling of difficulty.

But Su Xiao could only control the energy shield within one meter nearby. It wasn't that he couldn't control it outside the one-meter range, but it would consume massive amounts of mana. If he controlled the energy shield from two meters away, Su Xiao would consume at least several hundred mana points per second, which was just that exaggerated.

Relatively speaking, the mana consumed by Su Xiao controlling the energy shield within one meter was almost negligible.

He pinched the energy shield with his hand and exerted force.

The corner of Su Xiao's mouth twitched. It wasn't that the energy shield broke, but that this thing was too hard; the sound just now was made by his finger joints.

Examining the energy shield in his hand, this was an energy shield generated after 50 mana points were converted into Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy. He could slash through this strength of energy shield with his blade.

If he constructed an energy shield with 80 mana points, it would be somewhat difficult to slash through.

At 100 points, it would take at least 3 to 4 slashes with his current blade technique.

150 points didn't need to be thought about. It would be good if Su Xiao could slash through it within 10 slashes.

Starting from 200 points, it would be somewhat difficult to slash through. Conservatively estimated, it would take him several minutes to slash.

As for the highest strength of 300 points, Su Xiao couldn't slash through that level of energy shield.

The energy shield didn't exist forever after being constructed. It had a time limit. If it wasn't broken by the enemy, the energy shield had the highest strength within the first ten minutes. After ten minutes, the energy shield would begin to show signs of decomposition until it completely disappeared after half an hour.

Therefore, the energy shield couldn't be used continuously. It was best to block the energy shield at the point of the enemy's attack after the enemy launched the attack, so as to defend.

As for whether the energy shield floating in mid-air would be knocked away, this problem didn't need to be worried about at all. The energy shield took Su Xiao as the center point. As long as the enemy's attack wasn't enough to knock Su Xiao away, the energy shield would steadily block in front of him. After all, there was a spiritual link between the energy shield and Su Xiao.

Even if the enemy's attack was enough to knock Su Xiao away, as long as this strike didn't shatter the energy shield, even if he were pushed very far, the energy shield would still block in front of him.

After roughly figuring out the role of the energy shield, Su Xiao expressed great satisfaction.

Consuming 50 to 300 mana points to generate an energy shield, the generation speed was extremely fast, didn't affect the line of sight, and the defensive power was astonishing.

But there was also a problem, and that was that Su Xiao's mana points weren't enough.

If he constructed an energy shield with a strength of 300 mana points, Su Xiao could only construct 4 such energy shields, and the speed of consuming mana points was extremely fast.

Just this was fine, but he would also consume a large amount of mana points when using Green Qing Qing Gang Ying energy to attack, and the consumption of 50 points per minute couldn't be ignored.

With this back and forth, Su Xiao felt that his 1488 mana points weren't enough. If the battle was relatively intense, he would encounter a situation of 'lacking mana'.

Su Xiao finally understood why his 'Spirit Eater' mage talent was inherited by the Shadow of Law-Breaker, because the Shadow of Law-Breaker required more mana points than a mage. Without this type of talent ability, it was impossible to continue fighting with Green Qing Qing Gang Ying.

Su Xiao possessed the talent ability to permanently increase mana points after killing enemies, and his intelligence attribute was very high. Even so, he still felt a shortage of mana points.

"Need to get some equipment that increases mana points when I go back this time."

Su Xiao previously thought his mana points were enough, but now it seemed that wasn't the case. If the battle was too intense, he might consume all his mana points within ten minutes of starting the battle.

Consuming massive amounts of mana points wasn't without benefits. His combat power had increased a lot, at least much stronger than before.

Not to mention that surging true damage, just the energy shield compensating for his lack of defensive power, no other ability could compare.

The 'egg-shell shield' that wrapped the whole body like a mage's wasn't suitable for Su Xiao. That thing was cumbersome, and not as handy as an energy shield that could be generated and canceled at any time.

The energy shield might not be as simple as just defense; other uses remained for him to develop.

Su Xiao looked at the final 'Form 3: Green Shadow King (Not awakened)'. He was completely confused about this thing. Not to mention the awakening method, he didn't even know what this thing was.

"Can't you just awaken it for me directly."

Su Xiao temporarily ignored this ability. Even if he wanted to ignore it, there was no way. Before the Shadow of Law-Breaker was fully awakened, the Green Shadow King wouldn't awaken. As for how to awaken the Shadow of Law-Breaker, this wasn't something the current Su Xiao could involve himself in; that had to be done after the fifth tier. Popularly speaking, the Green Shadow King was a big move of the Shadow of Law-Breaker, a very strong big move.

What Su Xiao currently possessed were all ordinary skills of the Shadow of Law-Breaker. Although they were all very strong, there wasn't a big move with tremendous power, and the Green Shadow King was the big move of the Shadow of Law-Breaker. ===== CHAPTER 551 =====
