The so-called “material determines consciousness, and consciousness reacts on material” suggests that physical changes often lead to changes in thoughts and habits.

If it were in the past, Vanessa would have immediately grabbed a double-barreled shotgun and unleashed a barrage of bullets at the virtue system without hesitation.

But now, not only does she refrain from speaking out, even cursing in her heart makes her feel extremely repulsed.

Why, why has it come to this?

Vanessa suddenly recalled the words Goddess of Graceful Radiance said to her in the church earlier.

“Not only do you need to be taught, but you also need to experience it firsthand.”

“Soon, you’ll feel what it’s like to be ‘compelled’ to act like a lady~”

Is this what she meant?!

So, the experience just now wasn’t a dream after all??

“Wait.” Vanessa rubbed her forehead, realizing something she had overlooked.

The Church of Radiance only has saintesses, no saints.

It was during her grandfather’s generation that male descendants appeared, and coincidentally, the lineage became extinct.

Feeling the emptiness beneath her skirt, Vanessa felt an inexplicable sadness and melancholy.

So, awakening the family bloodline means this??

Wait, what about my brother who went through thick and thin with me??

Does this mean that if her lineage hadn’t been extinct, she would have been like this from the beginning??

But…

With a complicated gaze, Vanessa looked at the unfamiliar, stunning girl in the mirror, still unable to fully accept it.

This is too unbelievable. No one would believe it if I told them.

So, what should she do from now on? With this change, doesn’t it mean that the original Winnie has completely disappeared?

How should she explain her identity?

In other words, not only is she now unable to enroll in the Carillian Academy, but she has also become a completely undocumented individual. And what about the Soul Armament she just acquired? Will all of that go to waste?

Even the tools are gone. How is she supposed to find a fellow student to share her life with now??

In a moment of panic, Vanessa hurriedly opened her status panel.

This can’t be happening. Please, let me change back!

When she opened the Virtue Panel, she was suddenly stunned.

The intricate web of main and branch options before her eyes was overwhelming.

“What is this?” Vanessa quickly connected it to the phrase after the bloodline awakening option: “and unlock the Virtue Tree.”

It was like unlocking a skill tree in a game. This tree was lush and sprawling, with no end in sight.

Vanessa’s delicate fingers nimbly scrolled the panel to the bottom, where she saw the few skills she could theoretically unlock now.

[Intermediate Healing Skill]: Belongs to the [Saint Envoy] Soul Armament, requires 50 Virtue points to unlock.

[Divine King’s Baptism]: Exclusive to the Holy Blessing, requires 50 Virtue points to unlock.

How much? Fifty points??

And, [Saint Envoy]??

Wait!

Vanessa remembered something and immediately opened her personal status panel.

Now, the personal panel had also undergone significant changes.

Name: Vanessa Varelis

Race: Blessed Angel

Soul Armament: [Armour Fortress] (100% compatibility)

Root Soul Art: [Saint Envoy] (100% compatibility)

Divine Blessings: [Flawless Holy Feather], [Flames of Ten Thousand Divine Blessings]

Realm: Beginner Apprentice

Indeed!

Vanessa was momentarily stunned, unsure whether to feel happy or sad.

Both the Root Soul Art and the Holy Blessings had awakened. Did this mean she traded her “brother” for power?

Moreover, to her surprise, her realm had also improved.

From the previous Beginner Initiate, she had skipped a level and reached Beginner Apprentice.

Vanessa thought this might be related to the previous duel and the successful awakening of her bloodline.

Also, she had assumed that the [Armour Fortress] Soul Armament would be completely erased after the bloodline awakening, but it was still there.

Does this mean that after the bloodline awakening, she can use both [Armour Fortress] and [Saint Envoy] Soul Armament??

With this thought, Vanessa summoned [Armour Fortress].

She had imagined what it would be like to summon [Armour Fortress], wondering if her long hair would get stuck in the armor.

However, reality proved that her imagination was completely unfounded.

Vanessa stared in surprise at the luxurious white battle dress that had appeared on her body.

Instead of a cold, fully enclosed suit of armor, what appeared was an intricately detailed, extravagant pure white battle dress.

Her peach-pink hair cascaded like silk, with two small strands tied into long twin pony-tails by white feather-shaped hair accessories.

The white battle dress she wore was adorned with complex decorations, accentuating her figure with a white, belted soft armor.

Two tassels with gemstones hung from the golden-patterned lotus leaf hem, and the back of the dress was adorned with white feathers resembling a swan’s wings.

Vanessa even felt that wearing this outfit would be more troublesome than putting on a full suit of armor.

The dress, as luxurious as a formal gown yet practical for movement, perfectly outlined her maiden’s curvaceous figure.

Her shoulders were exposed, and her hands were covered by white silk gloves that extended to her arms, leaving only her middle finger exposed, which wore a golden ring.

Her lower body was clad in white thigh-high boots with golden heels and toes, adorned with silver metal wings on the outer side.

Inside the boots, she wore white thigh-high stockings.

There was no denying that this outfit perfectly embodied the dual identities of [Angel] and [Saintess], exuding both beauty and grace.

But beauty aside, looks can’t fill your stomach.

While [Armour Fortress] had been transformed into this form, eliminating any sense of burden, the physical protection had been drastically reduced, almost to the point of nonexistence.

It made one wonder if this outfit was meant for fighting at all.

What’s the point of this? Just for looks?

Vanessa opened her personal panel again and, after a moment of hesitation, clicked on the [Armour Fortress] tab.

Her beautiful eyes widened slightly as she noticed that the effects of [Armour Fortress] had changed.

From providing substantial physical protection at the cost of agility, it now provided magic resistance and enhanced agility.

The exact opposite of its original effect.

And…

Vanessa made sure she wasn’t mistaken, it was magic resistance!

Given the complexity and variety of elements in the Terraria continent, there were no armor or enchanted items that could provide overall magic resistance!

Staring blankly at the changes to [Armour Fortress], Vanessa now understood why its compatibility with her was 100%.

[Armour Fortress] could adapt its form and effects based on the changes in her body and bloodline!

As for why [Armour Fortress] had transformed to provide magic resistance, Vanessa thought of a certain setting and clicked on the race section in her personal panel.

Blessed Angels were the only race in the Terraria continent with innate magic resistance.

They could partially nullify a certain percentage of magic attacks and convert half of the nullified damage into their own mana.

According to game settings, this nullification rate should be 30%.

Perhaps this was why [Armour Fortress] had adapted to provide magic resistance.

And here’s the key point: the racial effect of Blessed Angels states that “half of the nullified magic damage is converted into mana,” not “half of the innate magic nullification is converted into mana.”

This means that the magic resistance provided by [Armour Fortress] is also counted as part of the “magic nullification” and can be converted!

However, the magic resistance provided isn’t a one-to-one conversion from armor but is significantly reduced, so the converted magic resistance is far less than the armor it used to provide.

Still, this was already incredibly powerful.

Vanessa was astonished as she calculated.

With the innate magic nullification of a Blessed Angel plus the magic resistance provided by [Armour Fortress], even though the silver scale armor had turned into a dress, she could now take magic attacks head-on without suffering serious injuries!

At the bottom of the status panel, she also found the method and explanation for reverting to her original form.

‘After transforming into the [Blessed Angel] form, you must wait 24 hours before you can actively revert to your human form. Otherwise, you will remain in the [Blessed Angel] state…’

Relieved to know that she could change back, Vanessa sighed.

However, the next line of explanation left her utterly baffled.

‘Remember: If you lose your virginity while in the female form, you will never be able to revert.’

“………Huh?”
