Chapter 209: Chang Junyan's Breakthrough

This feeling is both familiar and strange.

The familiar part is that when danger previously arrived, he could produce this intuition in advance, followed by heightened sensitivity and automatic adjustment of his time sense.

The unfamiliar part is that this feeling is somewhat different, more urgent and more chilling.

Most importantly, there is clearly no visible attack around.

Except for Chang Junyan, who is currently performing the technique right before him…

Chen Mu didn't think, reflexively stepping to the side.

At this moment, Chang Junyan had just finished his exertion; seeing Chen Mu leave his original spot, he exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Mu was about to ask when he suddenly felt his right hand was a bit odd.

The next moment, an unbearable itch appeared on the back of his hand.

He instinctively scratched it, and a tingling, numbing, pleasurable sensation shot from the back of his hand straight to his brain, almost making him cry out in pleasure.

But then he was surprised to discover that a bump the size of a fingernail cap had grown on the back of his hand, almost identical to a mosquito bite.

"This..."

Chen Mu instantly understood what was happening.

"Wow, Chen Mu, you're amazing, even dodging this?" Chang Junyan exclaimed excitedly: "Zhu Hao just stood there foolishly, and I gave him a bellyful of bumps; scratching them made him fly with pleasure, haha."

After Chen Mu scratched it a few times,

that tingling itch not only didn't disappear, but became even more severe.

The more it itched, the more he scratched; the more he scratched, the more it itched.

No wonder Chang Junyan scratches himself daily with such gusto; this feeling is indeed extremely pleasurable and addictive.

The next moment.

He forced himself to endure the strange itch, making himself stop scratching.

This feeling is very unpleasant.

But interestingly, although the tingling itch hasn't disappeared, at least it's no longer worsening.

"You... you can actually endure it?" Chang Junyan said, somewhat incredulous.

"Is this the breakthrough you mentioned?" Chen Mu said, trying hard to divert his attention.

"Yeah, how is it?" Chang Junyan said proudly.

"Indeed not bad."

Chen Mu said: "So, you can now use your ability on others?"

"Yes, but I'm not yet proficient; for example, if someone is running around wildly, it's not easy to do. I was originally aiming at your chest, but you dodged, so it landed on your hand, and only one bump appeared. By the way, how did you sense it beforehand?"

After hearing Chang Junyan's reminder, Chen Mu also realized this issue.

It seems that the insight granted by mental power applies not only to direct physical harm, but also to the influence of this special ability, which can be sensed in advance.

This discovery is exhilarating.

As a result, the bump on the back of his hand isn't as itchy anymore.

"When your mental power becomes stronger, you'll also be able to do that," Chen Mu replied.

"Really?" Chang Junyan said happily.

"Yes."

Chen Mu was very certain.

This point can be said to give hope to all support ability users, as long as their mental power is strong enough, they at least have some self-protection capability in critical moments.

Of course, without corresponding combat ability, it ultimately remains of little use.

For example, when Chen Mu faces Chang Junyan, even if the opponent's mental power is extremely strong, he can still secure victory.

But now.

This guy seems to have activated an evolution mode.

Making the bumps grow on someone else's body is indeed something he never imagined.

"Aren't you itchy anymore?" Chang Junyan saw Chen Mu no longer scratching the back of his hand, and said incredulously: "I could never endure this level no matter what."

"Not bad."

Chen Mu raised his hand and placed it before his eyes for a careful look.

He has always been fairly confident in his self-control; having endured the worst itching, it's now not too unpleasant.

"Impressive," Chang Junyan sighed, then said: "Let me help you get rid of it."

"Wait a moment."

Chen Mu stopped him, saying: "Is this the itchiest bump you can produce? Can it be intensified?"

"Holy shit, what's your fetish, a masochist?"

"Just doing an experiment, trying it out."

"I've already given my all; this is the maximum itch level. To intensify it, I can only increase the number. How about you stand still and I give you a row?"

"Forget it."

Chen Mu hurriedly stopped him.

At this level, if his focus wavers, he might not be able to hold back; let alone making a row, just looking at it could make someone feel nauseous.

In that case, Chang Junyan's ability is not merely defensive.

If used during a duel between the two, a sudden strike would surely leave the opponent flustered.

Chen Mu suddenly thought of something and asked: "When you plant bumps on others, can it also have a healing effect?"

Chang Junyan shook his head: "I don't know; I only tried it on Zhu Hao, and that guy couldn't help but keep scratching, so he begged me to remove them."

Chen Mu said nothing more, directly drew a dagger from his waist, and with a swish made a small cut on his forearm, from which blood seeped out.

"What are you doing?" Chang Junyan was stunned.

"Come try it."

"What?"

"You idiot, help me heal the wound."

"Oh oh."

Chang Junyan was confused by Chen Mu's action, only now reacting, and hurriedly said, "Don't move, otherwise I won't be able to get it right."

"Hmm."

After a few seconds.

The pack on Chen Mu's hand back gradually disappeared, and at the spot where the wound had just been cut, a new one grew.

Because the wound was strip-shaped, Chang Junyan also thoughtfully made a strip-shaped pack, like a band-aid.

Afterwards, the pack also disappeared.

And Chen Mu's originally injured skin grew back completely, with no trace of the cut visible.

"Awesome."

Chen Mu couldn't help but sigh.

The ability that was originally the most silly now actually has so many uses.

This ability can be said to be both offensive and defensive, and also has a medical effect.

"I remember you said you could control how itchy this thing gets?"

"Right." Chang Junyan nodded.

"Can it be used on others too?"

"Yes."

Chen Mu felt a myriad of emotions; if this were given to Old Wei to grow a full-body pack, he could completely cut through a million-strong army.

He has now decided that next time he goes out he must bring this guy; it's like bringing an assistant for offense, an assistant for defense, and an assistant medic.

Just then, Tang Jing and Yu Yuan finished their work and also came over to get water.

"What are you guys talking about, you're so happy?" Tang Jing asked.

"Ah."

Chen Mu laughed hahaha: "Chang Junyan's ability has a new discovery; do you want to take a look?"

Tang Jing nodded: "Of course."

Chen Mu hurriedly gave Chang Junyan a look, saying: "Then let's also try it on our study committee member; she'll definitely be surprised."

Chang Junyan immediately understood his meaning, excitedly nodded: "Okay."

Having said that, he immediately did the same as before, squaring into a horse stance and slowly pushing his hands forward.

However, the next moment.

Tang Jing, as if foreseeing it, leisurely stepped to the left.
