Wang Ye immediately realized that to maintain this shrunken physique, he needed to constantly expend a lot of energy because he had to keep using his muscles to press against his bones. It was like squeezing a piece of cotton with his hand; as soon as he let go, the cotton would immediately return to its original form. Therefore, this state could only be used to avoid being recognized by fans when he went out and couldn’t become a regular state.

Whenever he slightly loosened his grip, he would immediately revert to his 1.9-meter height.

Wang Ye immediately relaxed, and his displaced bones instantly sprang back, just like a Transformer transforming, his entire skeleton bouncing back as if fitted with springs.

The whole transformation process took about half a minute, as Wang Ye had to circulate Qi and blood to adjust the position of some bones and correct some naturally misaligned bones.

After reverting to his original form, Wang Ye took a short rest before continuing to shrink again.

To master this skill as soon as possible, he needed to increase the intensity of his training.

And practice is the best training.

Real bone-shrinking training is much more efficient than fundamental exercises like stretching legs and ligaments.

Because during bone-shrinking training, it also involves stretching the ligaments and gaining experience.

He kept repeating the process of growing bigger and smaller.

The room was filled with crackling sounds.

But no matter how hard he tried, the process of growing bigger and smaller always took more than half a minute.

Because with his current ability, he couldn’t instantly displace so many bones.

Exerting too much force might even cause injuries, ranging from torn tendons to fractures. It’s manageable for Wang Ye, but for ordinary people, it could be crippling.

Therefore, those who have been training in Bone Shrinking Skill since their youth are extremely cautious because a slight mistake could render all their previous efforts in vain, and their power would be completely wasted.

It’s only because Wang Ye’s Brain Domain development is advanced enough, making it easy for him to control his body organs and his recovery ability is fast enough, allowing him to recover from any injury within minutes, that he can train so aggressively.

Of course, the result of such inhuman training methods is rapid progress. Every hour Wang Ye trains is equivalent to over ten years of hard work for a normal person.

The next half day, Wang Ye was almost entirely focused on training in Bone Shrinking Skill. He only went out for dinner, chatted for a while, and then returned to his room to practice Bone Shrinking Skill again.

His parents, seeing him like this, didn’t dare to disturb him. After all, in their impression, Wang Ye was already a big figure with countless matters to attend to. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The ten billion that Wang Ye could easily earn in a year was seen as astronomical by ordinary people. For most ordinary people working their whole lives, their total earnings might only be two to three million at best. It’s no exaggeration to say that making that ten billion would require the entire lives of five hundred ordinary people.

His parents, who had lived ordinary lives all along, naturally couldn’t understand how Wang Ye could earn so much money so effortlessly. They just thought he must work very hard to earn such amounts.

But the truth was, Wang Ye earned that money very easily. The brands he chose to endorse didn’t have any special requirements; apart from occasionally having him shoot a few commercials, they hardly disturbed him.

So Wang Ye practically earned those ten billion lying down.

But not entirely lying down.

After all, he still had to participate in various challenges and competitions to maintain his reputation.

Otherwise, once his fame faded, these brands would start terminating contracts one after another.

The endorsement fees Wang Ye received would also decrease over time.

However, at present, Wang Ye’s fame and reputation are still soaring, showing no signs of decline. Just his title as the holder of multiple world records was enough to make him a legendary figure in the athletic world for hundreds or even thousands of years to come.

Time quickly passed.

In the blink of an eye, it was early the next morning,

After a night’s training, Wang Ye had already pushed his Bone Shrinking Skill to level 4.

This meant the level of a High-tier Professional. Much more impressive than Wang Baoceng, the so-called only heir of Bone Shrinking Skill reported by CCTV.

Although Wang Baoceng’s reputation was as the only heir of his time, his level wasn’t actually high. In Wang Ye’s view, it was roughly at the peak of level 2.

Wang Ye did a little testing; his current bone-shrinking limit could shrink him down to about 1.7 meters in height, with most of his bones throughout his body compressed to the extreme, some even folding over. But this level was already close to the limit of the Bone Shrinking Skill because all the gaps between bones were already filled. If he wanted to continue shrinking on this basis, the bones themselves would have to shrink, which, theoretically, was impossible unless Wang Ye could freely control bone growth.

Besides shrinking, Wang Ye’s growth power also improved significantly; he could now greatly increase the gaps between bones, able to instantly extend his arms by about twenty centimeters. If he maximally stretched all his bones, including his spine, pelvis, and knees, his height could reach about two meters and two.

These were the results of Wang Ye’s efforts throughout the night, and he was very satisfied with them. His purpose of concealing his identity was basically achieved.

However, he was still curious about what magical effects further advancements in Bone Shrinking Skill could bring. If it evolved to the extraordinary level, what kind of skill would it become? Would it cause deeper mutations in his bones, or improve his organ control proficiency?

These questions could only be answered after leveling up further.

The time came to around nine o’clock.

Wang Ye suddenly received a phone call.

It was from the courier.

Answering the call, he found out that it was the delivery of the three plasma cutters he purchased on an online shopping platform the day before.

After the courier delivered the three plasma cutters upstairs, Wang Ye unpacked the boxes.

Three brand-new plasma cutters appeared in front of him. These plasma cutters were completely red and, at a glance, looked no different from ordinary speakers, with knobs and plugs. Each one was about the size of a suitcase, easily portable by hand.

If one didn’t look closely at the labeling, they might indeed mistake these three for ordinary speakers.

Looking at these three brand-new plasma cutters, Wang Ye pondered. He knew he definitely couldn’t test them at home; their destructive power was too formidable, easily damaging furniture and likely to be discovered by his parents.

After some thought, he decided to take one plasma cutter to the unfinished building where he used to train for testing. However, there were no sockets there, so he’d need to bring his own power supply. The best way might be to bring some outdoor power storage batteries with high capacity.

Wang Ye wasted no time and immediately went to a nearby specialty store to purchase a few outdoor power storage batteries. These batteries were about the size of a radio, clearly showcasing a high capacity, certainly enough to power the plasma cutters.

Then Wang Ye activated the Bone Shrinking Skill.

Crack!!

In just seven seconds.

Wang Ye swiftly shrank from 1.9 meters to around 1.7 meters in height. Even his shoulder and hip width shrank to the appropriate proportions for that height.

Now that the Bone Shrinking Skill was at level 4, he could maintain this state for about half an hour.

If it exceeded half an hour, the intense pain transmitted from his bones and ligaments would compel him to revert to his original form.

But this period was already sufficient for him to carry the plasma cutter to the unfinished building.

Wang Ye immediately picked up his things and set out, following his memories to the unfinished building where he used to train.
