Chapter 207: Chang Junyan's Breakthrough
This feeling is both familiar and unfamiliar.
The familiarity lies in his ability to have this intuition in advance when danger used to approach. Following that, his sensitivity would heighten, and his sense of time would adjust automatically.
The unfamiliar part is that this feeling is somewhat different now, more urgent, and more penetrating.
The most crucial thing is that there seems to be no visible attack around.
Except for Chang Junyan, who is right in front of him, performing some kind of technique...
Without thinking, Chen Mu reflexively takes a step to the side.
At this moment, Chang Junyan has just finished his move and noticed Chen Mu moving away from his original position. He exclaims, "Hmm?"
Chen Mu was about to inquire when he suddenly felt something strange on his right hand.
In the next moment, the back of his hand starts to itch intolerably.
Subconsciously, he scratches his hand, and a tingling, refreshing sensation shoots from the back of his hand straight to his brain, almost making him cry out in delight.
Soon after, he is surprised to find a fingernail-sized bump on the back of his hand, almost identical to the aftermath of a mosquito bite.
"Oh..."
Chen Mu instantly understands what's going on.
"Wow, Chen Mu, you're amazing! You managed to dodge this?" Chang Junyan exclaims excitedly. "Zhu Hao just stood there like a fool, and as a result, I planted a bunch of bumps on him. It itched him so much he felt like flying. Haha!"
Chen Mu scratches a few more times.
Instead of the itching subsiding, it becomes even more severe.
The more he scratches, the more it itches.
No wonder Chang Junyan scratches himself vigorously every day; this feeling is indeed pleasurable and addictive.
In the next moment, he forces himself to endure the peculiar itching, compelling himself to stop.
The feeling is extremely unpleasant.
But interestingly, although the tingling sensation hasn't disappeared, it has at least stopped intensifying.
"You... You can actually withstand it?" Chang Junyan is somewhat incredulous.
"This is what you call a breakthrough?" Chen Mu tries to divert his attention.
"Yes, what do you think?" Chang Junyan says rather proudly.
"It's indeed not bad," Chen Mu responds. "So, can you use this ability on others now?"
"Yes, but I'm not skilled enough yet. For example, if someone is running around erratically, it's not easy to hit them accurately. Just now, I was originally aiming for your chest, but you dodged, and I ended up hitting your hand instead, and there's only one bump. By the way, how did you anticipate it in advance?"
After hearing Chang Junyan's reminder, Chen Mu also realized this problem. It seems that the insight granted by spiritual power is not limited to facing direct physical harm; it can also foresee the effects of such abilities in advance.
This discovery is exhilarating, to the point that the bumps on the back of his hand don't itch as much anymore.
"When your spiritual power becomes stronger, you can do it too," Chen Mu replied.
"Really?" Chang Junyan asked cheerfully.
"Yes," Chen Mu said with certainty.
This aspect gives hope to all auxiliary ability users. As long as their spiritual power is strong enough, they can at least have a certain degree of self-protection in critical moments.
Of course, without corresponding combat ability, it still won't be very effective in the end. For example, when facing Chang Junyan, no matter how strong his spiritual power is, Chen Mu can still have the upper hand.
But now, it seems this guy has activated some kind of evolution mode. Growing bumps on someone else's body is indeed something he had never thought of before.
"Aren't you itchy anymore?" Chang Junyan noticed that Chen Mu stopped scratching and seemed a bit incredulous. "I can't resist this level of itching no matter what."
"It's fine," Chen Mu replied, lifting his hand and observing it carefully.
He has always been quite confident in his self-control, having endured the most intense itching before, and now it's not so uncomfortable.
"Amazing," Chang Junyan exclaimed, then said, "Let me get rid of it for you."
"Wait a moment," Chen Mu stopped him and said, "Is this the itchiest bump you can create? Can you make it stronger?"
"Damn, what kind of fetish do you have, a masochist?"
"Just trying an experiment, testing it out."
"I've already done my best; this is the itchiest level. If I make it stronger, I can only increase the number of bumps. How about you stand still, and I'll create a whole row for you?"
"Forget it," Chen Mu quickly stopped him.
At the current level, as long as his concentration slips, he might not be able to control it, let alone create a whole row of bumps. Just looking at it could make people feel nauseous.
From this, it seems that Chang Junyan's ability is more than just for defense. In a real battle between the two, if he suddenly uses this ability on an opponent, it will undoubtedly catch them off guard.
Chen Mu suddenly thought of something and asked, "If you plant bumps on someone else, can you also make them heal?"
Chang Junyan shook his head, saying, "I don't know. I only tried it on Zhu Hao once, and he couldn't stand it after a while, begging me to remove them."
Without hesitation, Chen Mu took out a dagger from his waist and made a small cut on his forearm, causing fresh blood to ooze out.
"What are you doing?" Chang Junyan was taken aback.
"Trying something," Chen Mu replied.
"What?"
"Simple, help me heal the wound."
"Oh, okay."
Chang Junyan was puzzled by Chen Mu's action, and it took him a moment to realize what was happening. He quickly said, "Don't move, otherwise, I can't get it right."
"Okay."
A few seconds later, the bump on the back of Chen Mu's hand gradually disappeared, and a new one grew at the spot where he had just made the cut. As the wound was in the shape of a line, Chang Junyan thoughtfully created a bump in the same shape, resembling a large band-aid.
Then, the new bump also disappeared, and Chen Mu's injured skin was completely healed, leaving no trace of the cut.
"Amazing," Chen Mu couldn't help but exclaim. This initially absurd ability now seemed to have multiple functions. It could be both offensive and defensive and even had healing effects.
"I remember you mentioned that you can control the intensity of the itchiness," Chen Mu said to Chang Junyan.
"Yes," Chang Junyan nodded.
"Can you do it to others too?"
"Sure."
Chen Mu was overwhelmed with emotions. If he gave Old Wei a body full of bumps, he could probably wreak havoc in the enemy's ranks.
He had already decided that next time they went out, he would bring this guy along. It was like having a support for offense, defense, and even medical assistance.
Just then, Tang Jing and Yu Yuan finished their work and came over to drink water.
"What are you talking about? Why are you so happy?" Tang Jing asked.
"Oh," Chen Mu chuckled. "We made a new discovery about Chang Junyan's ability. Do you want to see it?"
Tang Jing nodded. "Of course."
Chen Mu quickly gave Chang Junyan a signal with his eyes and said, "Let's have our class monitor try it too. It will definitely surprise her."
Chang Junyan immediately understood what he meant and eagerly agreed, "Okay."
After that, just like before, Chang Junyan crouched into a horse stance and slowly pushed his hands forward.
However, the next moment, as if with premonition, Tang Jing calmly stepped to the left, avoiding the effect entirely.
