The three types of Psychic Shield protected from attacks from either direction. Unfortunately, they couldn't be stacked.
For example, the third type of Psychic Shield turned Confusion into a grid, forming a buffer zone like a Limber sponge.
The larger the buffer zone and the more abundant the mental reserves, the more pronounced the weakening effect.
Kirlia had exceptionally abundant mental reserves. Her grid-like buffer zone had a radius of about three meters and was roughly spherical.
However, the grid-like buffer zone couldn't block long-range Soul Skills and struggled to withstand heavy blows.
If it were stacked with the first type of Psychic Shield, the rapidly flowing Confusion and the grid-like Confusion would conflict with each other, causing both forms of protection to fail.
The second type of Psychic Shield formed a sturdy Barrier of Confusion. It could withstand any Soul Skill or injury affecting the body or mind, and its defensive power depended on mental strength. It was better suited to resisting heavy blows, such as boulders crashing down from a Snow Mountain.
However, limited by Ralts's mental reserves and mental strength, the second type of Psychic Shield wasn't particularly effective.
During the freshman assessment, Bai Cai had never relied on Psychic Shield alone. He had only helped Xiao Xiao fend off the Black Water Swamp Crocodile Soul Master's first and second Soul Skills.
No type of Soul Skill could excel in all three areas: its effect, its range, and its Soul Power consumption.
The Black Water Swamp Crocodile Soul Master's first Soul Skill could reach across twenty to thirty meters, making its range excellent. That meant either its effect was weak or its Soul Power consumption was high.
Since it was a first Soul Skill, its consumption was low. Combined with its excellent range, its effect was bound
