Chapter 45 The Shrinking Angel

Jiang Ci'an genuinely didn't know why he was able to fuse with the Angelic Armor.

He naturally knew that the Angelic Armor could only be fused by the owner of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul, and there were certain limitations on talent; otherwise, he could not fuse too many pieces.

but,

Come here.

Anyway, this is in a virtual world. Even if the fusion fails and the whole person explodes, he can use "Time Control" to go back to the state before the fusion.

Throughout the entire process, he will not suffer any loss, and he can even cover up the pain by being "indifferent".

If that's the case, why not give it a try?

Moreover, experiencing the angelic divine armor firsthand would obviously be more helpful for his subsequent research, so he readily gave it a try.

But who would have thought?

The fusion actually succeeded?

Jiang Ci'an looked down at his left arm again, feeling the power contained within it, and was genuinely surprised.

Is it due to my special physique? Or some hidden characteristic of my martial soul?

Jiang Ci'an is uncertain.

But he knew one thing,

The subsequent research will be much, much easier.

Ignoring Qian Renxue, who was in a daze, Jiang Ci'an stared at his own left arm with a faint glint in his eyes.

He didn't care what kind of soul skill was contained in this left arm bone, but instead focused on its structure.

The Angelic Armor, as a complete set of soul bones in the true sense, is most attractive not because of the high quality of each individual piece or the strength of its accompanying soul skills, but because of the synergy between these soul bones.

Only when the six soul bones—skull, limbs, and torso—are fully absorbed can it truly be called "divine armor."

This synergy is not simply 1+1=2, but a deeper transformation.

If one can thoroughly understand the linkage principle between these soul bones and apply it to the development of "self-condensing soul bones," then it is equivalent to having a unique set of upgradeable divine equipment!

If he were to add the "spiritual aperture" to his cultivation... it would not only be an increase in his cultivation speed, but also a significant increase in his chances of becoming a god!

Jiang Ci'an quietly withdrew his thoughts, shifting his attention from his arm to the second soul bone in his hand.

This is a torso bone.

It was more than twice the size of the left arm bone, and its surface was covered with golden light, almost completely covering the soul bone.

In addition to the skull, right arm bone, and left and right leg bones that Qian Renxue has already fused with, as well as the left arm bone and this torso bone that he has already fused with,

All six pieces of the Angel's Armor are here now.

To fuse all the parts of the Angelic Armor, the final condition is to fuse the last Soul Bone at level 100, which means you must become a god.

Judging from Qian Renxue's absorption of the soul bones, she was probably preparing to fuse all the soul bones in her head and limbs, and then fuse them in her torso. In the final sublimation, she would unify her entire body, linking the power of the six soul bones into a complete system, and thus completely achieve godhood.

Jiang Ci'an seemed to be deep in thought, then looked up at Qian Renxue.

At this moment, Qian Renxue's eyes were still slightly dazed.

She was still processing the fact that "this guy can fuse with the Angelic Armor," trying to recover from her shock.

Once again, she was suddenly controlled and torn off her disguise; once again, she was helpless and manipulated at will; and now, her angelic divine armor can be fused with by outsiders.

She was probably feeling quite lost because she had experienced too many things in a short period of time that were beyond her comprehension.

Lost in thought, she suddenly felt the man's gaze fall on her.

She looked up and met those golden eyes again.

At this moment, those eyes were looking at her thoughtfully, their gaze sweeping back and forth between her head, right arm, and legs, the intensity of their gaze still strong.

Qian Renxue felt her hair stand on end, and her eyes instantly became wary.

"What do you want to do?"

Jiang Ci'an looked at the flustered angel lady and said in a gentle tone:

"Don't worry, it's nothing. I just want to remove the soul bone from your body."

Qian Renxue's gaze froze again.

She knew all too well what taking a soul bone from a soul master meant, especially since she had already fused with the skull bone.

There is generally only one possible scenario.

She gritted her teeth, staring intently at Jiang Ci'an, her blue eyes churning with resentment, anger, and some other indescribable emotion.

Once again, she exerted all her strength to mobilize every bit of soul power within her body, attempting to break through that invisible constraint.

But in the next moment, Jiang Ci'an's domain had already covered it.

A certain force acted upon her, gentle yet irresistible.

Qian Renxue clearly felt that her soul power was rapidly and irreversibly draining away.

The feeling was like a dam being opened, releasing years of accumulated energy that was suddenly unleashed and could never be taken back.

My body is becoming weak.

The power is dissipating.

Consciousness is also fading.

Is this what death feels like?

The image of that boy was reflected in Qian Renxue's blue eyes, and countless thoughts flashed through her mind.

Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu; her long-standing plan to infiltrate the Heavenly Dou Empire; her unfinished Angel God Trial... and her so-called mother...

She still has a lot of things to do.

Very unwilling.

The loss of power was clear and rapid, and irreversible.

Finally, Qian Renxue closed her eyes.

"..."

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

After a while,

Just as the humiliation she had anticipated did not come, the utter darkness she had envisioned also did not arrive this time.

Qian Renxue frowned slightly and tentatively opened her eyes.

Then, she froze.

Five soul bones floated in the boy's hand before him.

Apart from the torso bone, the skull, right arm bone, and left and right leg bones—these four soul bones that should have been on her body—are now floating in the air above his palm, all intact.

Qian Renxue's mind went blank for a moment.

She subconsciously tried to feel her body, attempting to sense her own soul bones, but her gaze, which had been fixed on the boy, paused involuntarily... She realized something was amiss.

Why does this guy seem to have gotten taller?

wrong.

It's not that he got taller.

She's gotten shorter.

Qian Renxue's pupils suddenly contracted as she sensed the fluctuations of soul power within her body.

Her originally strong soul power vanished without a trace, replaced by a much weaker level of soul power that felt almost unfamiliar to her.

Perhaps, a Soul Master? Or maybe someone who just recently broke through?

She neglected her cultivation due to her undercover work in Tian Dou, but thanks to her powerful talent as a six-winged angel, her soul power level was not low.

Now, her soul power level is far lower than it was at its peak.

Qian Renxue suddenly turned her head and looked at the floor-length mirror not far away.

In the mirror was a petite girl with a somewhat youthful face.

She looked to be no more than eleven or twelve years old, with long, messy golden hair falling over her shoulders. She was wearing a very luxurious, but obviously oversized, moon-white gown.

Her body was fixed in mid-air, the wide neckline of her clothes fell down slightly, revealing one fair and round shoulder. The hem of her clothes trailed below her knees, like a skirt, and the sleeves completely covered her arms, making it impossible for her to stretch them out.

Qian Renxue was completely stunned.

"I...have shrunk?"
