277: Never mind, it's Chinese New Year.

"It's right here, one inch and two fen and a little bit below your ribs."

As Chen Heng spoke, he reached out and lightly poked the spot where Bai Jun's Internal Qi and spiritual power converged.

"Gah!"

Bai Jun's eyes rolled back, and he fainted again.

... Chen Heng thought, "Why can't I control this hand of mine?"

... A moment later, with Chen Heng's help, Bai Jun understood why he fainted with just a touch.

The spot Chen Heng had just poked was very peculiar; it was a node that was constantly changing.

That node was normally impossible to touch, but Chen Heng could somehow see it with his naked eyes.

Moreover, once that node was pressed, all the Qi and spiritual power in the body would stop flowing, which was why Bai Jun suddenly fainted.

"That's so amazing?"

Bai Jun pressed himself all over, but no matter how he searched, he couldn't find the node Chen Heng spoke of.

"And what else? What other differences are there?"

After trying for a while, Bai Jun gave up searching and continued to pester Chen Heng.

"There's nothing different, it's just that I can perfectly control my own body."

Chen Heng didn't elaborate; in reality, his perfect body control meant he could control the composition of every single cell.

He could even turn his epithelial cells and skeletal muscle cells into bone, which was very strange.

When he previously transformed into an Incarnation of a Heavenly Demon, the chitinous carapace on his body came from this ability.

And he could even make his brain grow into his butt; Chen Heng had tried it just now while Bai Jun was unconscious... Hmm, a very peculiar feeling.

"Perfect body control..." Bai Jun recorded it again in his small notebook... That night, the two of them barely slept, constantly exploring the changes after breaking through to the Martial Extreme Realm.

Simply put, Chen Heng had transcended the category of 'human' and become a more Advanced existence.

"Alright, I'll go to Qian Fa's place first and see if he has any records about my current state."

Chen Heng had already called Qian Fa in the middle of the night yesterday.

But the blue brain said that Chen Heng had to go there in person; he couldn't judge Chen Heng's current state without seeing him face-to-face.

Fortunately, that kid Luo Shuo came back this morning, otherwise, it would have taken many more days for the round trip.

But just as Chen Heng was about to leave, he saw Chen Fugui, his face full of worry, standing beside him.

"What's wrong, Father?" Chen Heng walked up to Chen Fugui and asked.

His father was usually cheerful, and it was rare to see him with such a troubled expression.

"Son, you've been back for over a month, and I've only seen you twice."

Chen Fugui thought for a moment and then spoke.

"And it's almost New Years Day, and you're still going out. Can't you wait until after New Years Day?"

Chen Fugui's tone was almost pleading.

It was then that Chen Heng remembered that New Years Day was in three days.

Now, the entire Qiyang City was bustling with activity, all preparing for New Years Day.

Even the nearly fifty-degree below zero temperature outside didn't dampen everyone's enthusiasm.

Including their family, everyone was busy preparing for New Years Day.

"Okay, then I'll leave after New Years Day." Chen Heng nodded and agreed, temporarily putting aside his affairs to focus on New Years Day.

"Luo Shuo, go to Zhenxi City and bring Big Brother Qi and the others back."

Chen Heng said to Luo Shuo, who had returned to his original form.

Cao Jihan had been gone for several days, so the message had probably been delivered.

Judging by the time, Qi Longhu and the others should arrive in Zhenxi City today.

"Got it." Luo Shuo nodded his big head, flapped his wings, and disappeared into the sky.

After sending Chen Fugui back, Chen Heng also returned to his small courtyard.

Xiao He was cleaning the courtyard, preparing for the upcoming New Years Day.

"I've been a bit obsessive lately."

Rubbing his temples, Chen Heng realized that he had been almost maniacally pursuing power recently.

"Forget it, I'll rest for a few days. It's not like a few days will make a difference."

It's New Year's, what can't wait until after the New Year?

---

Qiyang City is not too far from Zhenxi City.

Without the drag of any 'heavy objects,' Luo Shuo reached Zhenxi City in less than an hour.

This kid didn't even try to hide his tracks; everyone in Heming City saw him fly overhead.

However, everyone didn't take it seriously, after all, the Xue Family, who were massacred a few days ago, was more of a talking point... In the ruins of Zhenxi City, Luo Shuo found a relatively flat large stone and sat down, waiting for Qi Longhu and the others to arrive.

Chen Heng's estimation was indeed correct; not long after, Luo Shuo saw a group of heavily bundled people walking towards Zhenxi City.

"Qi Longhu?" Luo Shuo blocked the newcomers and asked.

"Who are you?" Qi Longhu took off his hat and looked at Luo Shuo with an unfriendly expression.

This Zhenxi City had become a ruin, and anyone who would specifically wait for him here and know his name was definitely up to no good.

"If it's you, that's fine. Come on, I'll take you back."

The expression on Luo Shuo's face relaxed, and after a gust of wind, a giant Black Phoenix appeared before Qi Longhu.

"Great Demon!?" Qi Longhu's expression changed drastically, and he quickly retreated with his group.

The Aura of this Great Demon alone was enough to suppress all of them; they absolutely couldn't fight it.

The best option was to run, as far away as possible.

"Hey, hey, hey! Where are you going?" Luo Shuo looked at the frantically fleeing crowd with a bewildered expression, a question mark appearing above his head.

"No wonder Big Brother Chen said Qi Longhu wasn't very smart; he can't even tell friend from foe..."

Luo Shuo sighed, flapped his wings, and landed in front of the crowd.

"Run separately, his target is me!" Qi Longhu saw that the Great Demon was coming straight for them and knew that there was no escaping today.

"Why are you running! Big Brother Chen sent me to pick you up!" Luo Shuo flapped his wings forcefully, and those Internal Stewards and Outer Deacons, who hadn't even reached the Profound Connection Realm, all fell to the ground.

"Big Brother Chen?" A familiar figure flashed through Qi Longhu's mind.

No, no, no, how could it be? Even if Chen Heng was strong, he couldn't possibly tame a Great Demon of this level.

"Big Brother Chen, Chen Heng, do you know him?" Luo Shuo was now somewhat suspicious that this person wasn't Qi Longhu.

But this foolish appearance was exactly as Big Brother Chen had described.

"You were sent by that kid Chen Heng?" Qi Longhu's eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets; he couldn't understand how such a Great Demon would listen to Chen Heng.

And even call him Big Brother Chen.

"Otherwise, what? Big Brother Chen sent me to pick you up to celebrate New Years Day. If you walk yourselves, you won't even get home by New Years Day."

Luo Shuo sighed, lowered his body, and waited for Qi Longhu and the others to climb on.

"Tsk, if Big Brother Chen hadn't sent me, you weaklings wouldn't be qualified to sit on my back."
