After learning that the jellyfish was a specialized Crystal Shell, realization flashed through Angel's eyes.
He was no stranger to "specialized Crystal Shells."
Earlier, Angel had heard about this kind of Crystal Shell from Kuntela.
It could be understood this way: although they were the same type of Crystal Shell and shared the same essence, interference from certain external factors caused the final effects they displayed to differ markedly.
Like oranges grown south of the Huai became oranges, while those grown north of the Huai became trifoliate oranges.
For example.
"Rock Crystal Cluster: flaxen Crystal Shell with powerful defensive capabilities. Five thousand Condensed Crystals per si."
That was the description of an ordinary Rock Crystal Cluster. It merely possessed defensive power.
But if it underwent specialization, it would form new varieties of Rock Crystal Clusters—
"Rock Crystal Cluster—Sharpness Specialization: flaxen Crystal Shell with powerful defensive capabilities. Its defensive effect doubles, especially against sharp attacks. Six thousand Condensed Crystals per si."
"Rock Crystal Cluster—Teleportation Specialization: flaxen Crystal Shell. Upon use, it enters a 'rigid' state. It cannot move while in the 'rigid' state, but it provides extremely powerful spatial protection, allowing one to remain unharmed during medium- to long-range spatial teleportation. Forty-five thousand Condensed Crystals per si."
"Rock Crystal Cluster—Elemental Specialization... Defense doubles when facing elemental attacks..."
Those were the different specialization effects of the Rock Crystal Cluster.
Of course, there were far more than just those three. There were also "Blunt Weapon Specialization," "Psychic Specialization," "Magic Power Specialization"... and so on.
Although the overall effects of these Rock Crystal Clusters were all related to "defense," their defensive types differed due to their different specializations.
As a result, their prices also varied enormously.
An ordinary Rock Crystal Cluster could be considered a Level 1 treasure, but a Teleportation-Specialized Rock Crystal Cluster
