"So it really is... a shield?"
Ye Fei felt the name did not quite fit the dome. As he pondered it, he pictured the shape of a shield, and the fragile-looking golden dome turned into a pale gold shield.
The shield sat on his left forearm, growing smaller and smaller under his mental control.
By the time it shrank to the size of his palm, it was a brilliant gold...
"This doesn't consume spiritual energy either?"
Feeling a little weak, Ye Fei put away the Golden Light Shield.
He wanted to see whether his original dozen or so points of spiritual energy were all gone, but what he saw was "Spiritual energy: 32/1000."
Not only had it consumed nothing, it had added 19 points. It was not even midnight yet, so this was a little faster than simply absorbing spiritual energy before.
[Me: I finally managed to use the Low-Level Golden Light Shield once, but isn't this supposed to consume spiritual energy?]
Ye Fei really could not figure it out, so he sent the boy on Iceberg a message without worrying about whether it was the middle of the night.
[Iceberg/6666-6155-6999: Brother Ye, who told you cultivation consumes spiritual energy? That Golden Light Shield uses spiritual energy to activate, but it only consumes spiritual energy to block damage for you when you're attacked. Trying it out normally just releases your spiritual energy. Once you withdraw it, it naturally turns back into stored spiritual energy. Ask me about things like this from now on, and I'll explain. Don't listen to all the gossip and nonsense in the chat channel. If cultivation itself consumed it, how could anyone ever cultivate?]
The boy was still awake too, and sent back a long string of text.
