It happened in the blink of an eye, just within that half-second of sudden change, Bai Xiong took a stride forward, pressing onwards. After the ion shield sprang open, its surface shimmered with a faint blue glow, its special design capable of storing most of the force exerted on the shield's surface and releasing it upon collision to a certain degree. The threshold of this impact force could be adjusted, meaning it could either release multiple quick bursts or concentrate all stored energy in a single, massive strike. This design was effective against both rank-and-file troops and large, abnormal creatures. Coupled with the newly equipped buffer armor Bai Xiong had just swapped into, in mere minutes, he had turned into an aggressive, meaty tank that became fiercer with each hit.
