The massive shield had three layers-or rather, it had been three massive shields all along.
The first layer was on the outside. Any water that approached was blocked, forming a constantly swirling wall of water.
The second layer lay in the middle. There was no seawater here, but whenever Qin Siyang approached, the shield surfaces would close in on their own and squeeze him back out.
