342: Presbyterian Church

Under Yi Xing's lead, Chen Heng and the others walked into an incredibly luxurious paved corridor.

"Mr. Chen, this is the VIP passage for the registration office. It will definitely not let you encounter such unpleasantness again."

Yi Xing now got a headache just thinking about the ransacked money house, terrified of angering Chen Heng.

"Ahead is the VIP room. The three of you have different Dao paths, so please proceed to your respective VIP registration rooms."

The surrounding staff, seeing Yi Xing personally leading them, respectfully escorted Chen Heng and the other two into their individual VIP registration rooms.

Chen Heng followed a petite girl into the largest room.

"Hello, sir. I already know your name. Please drip a drop of blood onto the testing platform."

The girl's attitude towards Chen Heng was extremely respectful as she pushed a palm-sized metal instrument in front of him.

"Is one drop of blood enough?"

Chen Heng controlled his blood to emerge from his body and fall onto the instrument.

"Yes, sir. Thank you for your trouble."

After bowing, the girl began operating the instrument.

"Hmm?" But after a few seconds, the expression on the girl's face began to turn strange.

With a crisp crack, the instrument emitted a puff of black smoke.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Chen, this instrument might be experiencing some issues."

Sweat began to bead on the girl's forehead. This was an Honored Guest brought by Judge Yi, and such a low-level error had occurred.

If Judge Yi found out, her job, which she had spent a fortune to get, might be lost.

"Don't be afraid, I'm not a bad person. Why are you trembling?"

Chen Heng frowned. He had completely retracted the Devilish Qi and Evil Qi within his body, so why was she still trembling?

Could it be that she had a cerebral thrombosis at such a young age?

"I apologize for making you worry. I will go and get a new Qi and blood detector now."

Hearing the girl's name for the instrument in front of her, Chen Heng roughly understood why this thing had suddenly died.

"Alright, stop fussing. Your instrument's threshold is too low; it won't be able to measure it."

"But... the upper threshold of this instrument is fifty thousand, how could it...?"

The girl shook her head, but still turned to get another instrument... A few minutes later, several staff members pushed in a large device, taller than a person.

"Mr. Chen, this is our highest threshold instrument currently. If this one still doesn't work, then we can only give you an estimated number."

The girl bowed to Chen Heng and presented a silver plate in her hand before him.

Chen Heng understood and once again controlled the blood in his body to leave it.

A drop of fresh blood fell onto the silver plate, directly causing the girl to drop it.

Bang!

The silver plate, along with the wooden desk, smashed into a pit.

"I forgot to tell you, my blood density is a bit high, and once it leaves my body, I can no longer control it."

Chen Heng explained, looking at the bewildered girl.

If the blood was inside Chen Heng's body, he could still control its density and weight.

Once it left his body, the density that had been constantly controlled would fully recover. The weight of this single drop of blood was at least seventy catties.

"I'm truly sorry, it's my mistake."

The girl became even more flustered. She had already made two mistakes today.

Once word got out, not only would she lose her job, but she would probably also have to spend a few days in jail.

"It's fine, I'll just go directly."

Chen Heng shook his head. This matter was actually his fault too; he forgot to mention it beforehand.

Picking up the silver plate on the table, Chen Heng dripped another drop of blood into it.

Placing the silver plate on the instrument, a pale blue light immediately lit up around the instrument.

"Is this instrument also driven by spiritual power...?"

Chen Heng rubbed his chin. It seemed that spiritual power in this world was equivalent to electricity in his previous life... Meanwhile, at the Central Great Tower's Council of Elders.

"Wu Xiong, what is your intention in bringing an outsider into the Empire without authorization?"

A woman with foxy eyes questioned Wu Xiong.

"Do you know that the Empire is currently in its most tense period? Bringing in such an uncertain factor, does your Wu Family have some improper thoughts?"

"No, you vixen, can you stop finding fault with me every time you see me? I just broke up with you, is that really necessary?"

Wu Xiong sighed. He shouldn't have agreed to be Yan Zuo's husband back then; it only caused him trouble.

"You!" Yan Zuo's foxy eyes widened. How could she have imagined that Wu Xiong would say such words in this setting?

Yes, she was making things difficult for Wu Xiong because of that matter, but she was also thinking for the Empire!

"Enough, Elder Yan Zuo, do not interfere in this matter."

The old man sitting in the main seat opened his eyes, and an invisible pressure enveloped the entire Council of Elders.

"Elder Wu Xiong, how can you be sure that this person can solve the Empire's urgent problem?"

The old man's sharp eyes looked at Wu Xiong, and the gaze of the entire Council of Elders fell upon him.

"I can be certain, and I can even guarantee it with the honor of our Wu Family and my position as an Elder."

"Not only that, I can assert that throughout the entire Chengtian Empire, this person is the strongest!"

Wu Xiong's voice was firm and powerful, and for a moment, it actually silenced everyone in the Council of Elders.

"Presumptuous! Is that person perhaps even stronger than His Majesty the Emperor?"

After the silence came a storm. The Elders of the Council of Elders stood up one after another, accusing Wu Xiong.

"Silence!" The old man in the chief seat also stood up, his gaze fixed on Wu Xiong.

"Do you dare to take responsibility for what you just said?"

"Don't be eager to speak. Once you confirm it, this will no longer be just about you."

"But about the entire Wu Family and the Empire!"

"I confirm it!" Wu Xiong didn't hesitate at all, slamming the table in front of him.

"I'm putting it out there today: if Chen Heng's strength is not the strongest in the Empire, you can take my head off and kick it like a ball!"

"Also, anyone among you who can punch a hole through my chest, step forward!"

"Chen Heng can do it, what about you?"

Wu Xiong lifted his shirt, revealing the unhealed large hole.

"This..." Seeing the large hole in Wu Xiong's chest, the Elders were momentarily speechless.

Indeed, to punch a large hole through Wu Xiong when he was at full defense, they absolutely couldn't do it.

Those capable of such a feat, besides the Emperor of the Empire, were probably only the old man of the Yi Family and the old man of the Wu Family.

No, and also the weapon currently being developed by the Research Institute... "I just received news that Chen Heng has already gone to register his identity. It shouldn't be long before we can know his Qi and blood volume and Realm."

Putting his clothes back on, Wu Xiong was very satisfied with the Elders' reactions.

"Then you will know whether what I, Wu Xiong, said is the truth!"
