Chapter 73: Experiment
Chapter 73: Experiment
"What's wrong?"
Chang Junyan was startled.
"It's itching, don't you find it a bit strange?"
"Well... I usually don't scratch too hard..." Chang Junyan said, but he already had some understanding in his heart.
"Even if you use a bit more force, the way you scratch every day doesn't seem to cause any problems to your skin. Isn't that a bit odd?"
"Seems like it. So, what exactly is it..."
"Perhaps it's some kind of defensive ability, so the areas with pimples won't get harmed?"
"Like wearing an iron shirt?"
Though Chang Junyan is playful, he's not dumb. He often has wild ideas, but he can sometimes overlook ordinary facts.
"It's possible," Chen Mu nodded.
"Oh, so it's impenetrable." Chang Junyan seemed to be getting interested.
"Not only that, but because of the itching, maybe the more others hit you, the more comfortable you feel?"
"Haha, I'm so shameless," Chang Junyan laughed heartily.
Chen Mu: ...
Meanwhile...
The voices of the two talking also attracted the attention of others.
"What are you guys talking about?" Dong Junwei asked.
"We've got some clues about Chang Junyan's ability," Chen Mu replied.
"Oh?" Tang Jing was the first to speak. After all, she had pondered over this issue, but she didn't pay much attention to it at first, and the sample data was too small to conduct any meaningful research.
"It seems that the areas with pimples won't get harmed," Chen Mu explained.
"Because they can't be scratched?" Tang Jing nodded.
"You already figured it out?"
"I had a few thoughts. This is one of them, but I never had the time to experiment with Chang Junyan."
"Chang Junyan, try scratching a few more times with more force! Put some effort into it!"
"Okay."
Chang Junyan finished speaking and three bumps, lined up in a row on his forearm, each about the size of a thumbnail, appeared. Then, using his other hand, he scratched in the shape of a tiger's claw, vigorously scratching back and forth a few times.
He kept scratching for nearly half a minute before finally stopping.
"It seems to be true."
"It's quite interesting."
Because he used quite some force this time, the skin around the bumps showed clear blood marks. However, the three bumps themselves, besides being red and swollen, showed no signs of damage.
"So, as long as Chang Junyan is covered with these bumps all over his body, he'll be invincible, right?"
"Not necessarily. There's still a difference between fingernails and blades or spears."
Just as these words were spoken, a clanging sound came from behind.
It was the sound of a blade being unsheathed.
Turning around, they saw Tang Jing holding the scabbard in one hand and the fancy little sword that Chen Mu had put a lot of effort into creating for her in the other.
"Since we're not sure, let's give it a try."
Tang Jing spoke calmly and elegantly, but her words were enough to send shivers down everyone's spine.
Chang Junyan was the first to shout, "Tang Jing, sis, calm down! Calm down!"
"Don't worry, I'll be gentle," Tang Jing smiled faintly as she walked forward.
The others automatically made way for her.
"Help, help!" Chang Junyan suddenly shouted.
"Shut up! If you struggle, the sword might veer off course."
And indeed, these words worked. Chang Junyan immediately stopped struggling, not daring to move anymore.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"Please be gentle," Chang Junyan said with teary eyes.
The others burst into laughter.
Everyone knew that Tang Jing wouldn't do anything reckless, but seeing her, the class monitor, holding a knife and comparing it all over Chang Junyan's body, made people feel a bit uneasy.
"How do you plan to do this?"
Chen Mu trusted Tang Jing to some extent, but he was also a bit worried. If it caused bleeding, it wouldn't look good after all.
"Step by step, starting lightly and gradually increasing the pressure."
After saying this, Tang Jing turned to Dong Junwei and said, "Monitor, please disinfect the knife for me."
Dong Junwei nodded, took Tang Jing's short sword, and held it in her hand. Soon, a faint blue smoke appeared from the sword. Dong Junwei's ability had improved recently, and combined with the fact that the short sword was small and had a thin blade, it quickly turned almost red from the heat.
Tang Jing tore off some cotton thread from a towel and wrapped it around the hilt of the sword. Then, she held the sword and focused her gaze back on Chang Junyan.
Chang Junyan shivered.
"Don't be afraid, we'll take it slow."
Tang Jing revealed a smile that she thought was gentle but appeared demonic to others.
As she spoke, she swung the short sword back and forth, quickly cooling it down. If it were something like an iron block, after being heated by Dong Junwei, it would cool down slowly. However, the blade of the short sword was thin, and after a few minutes, it had already cooled down.
"Be a good boy, extend your hand."
Trembling, Chang Junyan extended his left hand.
"Don't worry, I'll just touch it lightly."
After Tang Jing finished speaking, she indeed just lightly touched the area with the bumps using the blade of the sword.
When Chen Mu forged the short sword for her, he deliberately didn't make the blade too sharp, fearing that she and other girls like Dong Junwei who were not used to handling swords might accidentally hurt themselves. Of course, when it was really needed, this sword could easily cut through the skin.
This time, Tang Jing used almost no force, just lightly tapping the blade on the skin.
Chang Junyan indeed felt a bit relieved and smiled through his tears, "I don't feel anything."
"How about this?"
Tang Jing applied a little more force and added a slight pulling motion.
"It doesn't hurt."
"Do you feel anything?"
"Yes." Chang Junyan nodded.
"What do you feel?"
"It's kind of pleasurable. UU reading, ."
Everyone was speechless.
Tang Jing asked, "Is it the pleasurable feeling you get when scratching an itch?"
"Yes, even more pleasurable than scratching with nails." Chang Junyan seemed to forget his fear and continued, "How about you apply a bit more force, just a little, not too much."
"Okay."
Tang Jing nodded and added a bit more force.
The blade left a mark where it passed, but it quickly disappeared, as if the skin had been pressed but not damaged.
"How does it feel now?"
"Even more pleasurable."
"Shall I apply a bit more force?"
"Yes." Chang Junyan's courage had grown at this point.
This time, Tang Jing used about 30-40% of her strength.
Normally, even if a girl like Tang Jing used such force, it would be enough to cut the skin of an average person. However, Chang Junyan still showed no signs of injury. On the contrary, he seemed to be experiencing pleasure almost to the point of moaning.
"Damn, this ability is so bizarre."
Zhu Hao, who was usually inseparable from Chang Junyan, couldn't help but exclaim.
"Chang-xuexiang, I knew you were amazing!" Sun Yuan also excitedly applauded.
It seemed that the conclusion was clear now.
Chang Junyan's ability, which had always been considered quite quirky, appeared to be quite powerful.
Impervious to blades and spears.
How should I put it, it couldn't be considered useless, right?
Although the accompanying phenomenon was quite... strange, the strengths overshadowed the flaws. As long as he became proficient in using his ability and his mental strength grew strong enough, he could completely use it like a set of armor.
Thinking about Chang Junyan covered in bumps all over his body, everyone couldn't help but shiver.
And when they imagined him being attacked while moaning in pleasure, they all agreed that this ability suited him quite well.
