My Talent Skill Mutated

[Biological Force Field (Golden Legend): Energy Absorption and Conversion, Force Field Energy Protection, Force Field Energy Amplification, Force Field Flight, Force Field Creation, Force Field Control...]

"What the fuck?!?!"

Chen Yu’s pupils shrank as he stared at the text that appeared before him.

His Tier Three physical Evolution had immediately yielded a jackpot of a Skill!

Biological Force Field. It seemed like a single Skill, but in reality, it contained multiple abilities.

Compared to a single-ability Skill, they were worlds apart—like heaven and earth.

"This time, I’ve really scored big!"

Chen Yu was ecstatic.

If he could fully master this one Skill, he would be an absolutely god-tier existence.

Biological Force Field, flight, Force Field protection, Force Field amplification... just these few abilities alone were already incredible.

What a superpower! It truly lived up to its reputation!

’Golden Legend... Could it be that this represents the Skill’s quality grade?’

Chen Yu blinked.

The Skill that appeared this time had "Golden Legend" appended to it; it was definitely something special.

Anyone who plays games knows that pulling a Golden Legend is absolutely epic.

A synthesis of multiple abilities like the Biological Force Field was truly worthy of the Golden Legend title.

Instant Superman!

Coming back to his senses, Chen Yu summoned his interface to check it.

Name: Chen Yu!

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Three 0/50000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: Spirit Devouring (Middle Level 0/1000), Frost Breath (Middle Level 0/5000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend, Beginner 0/10000)

Source of Life: 138 points

’So much...’

Chen Yu stared blankly at the data on his interface.

The cost for Evolution from Tier Three to Tier Four had suddenly increased fifty-fold!

He had expected it to increase ten-fold at a time, but he never imagined it would jump by a factor of fifty all at once.

It would take fifty thousand Source of Life points to achieve the next Evolution.

Chen Yu felt like it was getting a little hard to breathe.

Even if he killed Level 3 Mutant Beasts, which awarded five to six hundred points each, that was still a staggering number of them.

Outside of a beast tide, where could he possibly find so many powerful mutant beasts at once?

He had managed a triple jump in just a few days, but this requirement for Tier Four was absurdly high.

He could forget about it in the short term.

Who knew how long it would take to kill that many mutant beasts.

’Is this the price for getting a Golden Legend Skill?’

Chen Yu winced inwardly.

But he quickly adjusted his mindset.

His strength had grown explosively in just a few days. That rate of improvement was already astonishing.

Fifty thousand Source of Life points was a lot, but if he encountered a beast tide, he could complete it in one go, maybe even with some to spare.

Now that his physical Evolution had reached Tier Three and his strength had grown, he was still very confident, even though the amount required was huge.

’Ten thousand... This Golden Legendary Skill’s initial cost isn’t low!’

Chen Yu’s eyelid twitched.

The Spirit Devouring Skill had only started at one hundred points. Even at Middle Level, it was only one thousand. Upgrading Frost Breath from Middle Level to High Level would only cost five thousand points.

But Biological Force Field started at ten thousand!

’I wonder if this ability consumes Qi or something else...’

’Let’s give it a try!’

With a thought, Chen Yu activated the Biological Force Field Skill. Instantly, he sensed a special power permeating the world around him.

This special power felt incredibly familiar and welcoming.

He could manipulate it at will.

Chen Yu looked at a rock, and an invisible Force Field enveloped the fist-sized stone.

"CRACK~"

With a faint thought, the rock was crushed to dust.

Then, the invisible Force Field enveloped his body, and in an instant, a feeling of weightlessness washed over him.

His body involuntarily lifted off the ground, as if the entire sky was his to soar through.

He felt like he could fly straight into the sky.

However, not wanting to attract attention, Chen Yu temporarily abandoned the thought of flying.

Next, Chen Yu tried something else.

With a thought, an invisible, person-sized Force Field appeared.

It was invisible to the naked eye, but crystal clear in Chen Yu’s perception.

Force Field Creation!

He could create a person-sized Biological Force Field to directly envelop objects, which was different from Force Field Control.

He was creating it from scratch!

Following that, Chen Yu tried again.

The Biological Force Field appeared directly inside his body.

A surge of explosive power welled up. Casually lifting a hand, Chen Yu punched a nearby tree that was as thick as a man’s torso.

BOOM—!

The punch landed, and the man-thick tree was instantly blown apart, sending splinters flying everywhere.

’This power...’

Chen Yu’s eyelids twitched.

Superman!

One-Punch Man!

Force Field Amplification allowed him to unleash an unimaginable level of astonishing power.

With the power to shatter a man-thick tree with a single punch, Chen Yu was completely confident he could go head-to-head with a Fourth-level Martial Artist.

"Chen Yu, what happened?"

Just then, Cai Kun and the other two appeared. Seeing the exploded tree next to Chen Yu, all three of them stared at him.

"Ahem, it’s nothing. I just had a bit of a breakthrough and wanted to test it out," Chen Yu said with a cough. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"...?"

The three of them stared at him intently.

Another breakthrough?

You can have a breakthrough just by relieving yourself?

What kind of freak was he?

Cai Kun’s expression was unreadable as he looked at Chen Yu, but inside, he was reeling. ’His aura... why does it make me feel a sense of dread?’

’My intuition is screaming that Chen Yu is dangerous!’

A Second-level Martial Artist, an Awakened who had just awakened his Ice Ability, was making him feel extremely threatened.

This was extremely strange.

He hadn’t felt this way before.

How could he suddenly get this feeling just because Chen Yu went to relieve himself?

’Don’t tell me... relieving yourself can really cause a breakthrough?’

’I don’t think I’ve ever heard of anyone having a talent like that...’

"Did... you do this?" Meng Li stepped forward, staring at the shattered tree and then at Chen Yu in disbelief.

"Yeah. I was testing something and didn’t hold back," Chen Yu nodded.

"..."

"Alright, let’s go. We need to keep exploring, so let’s not waste any more time." Cai Kun broke the silence, gave Chen Yu a deep look, and then turned to leave.

An Ran and Meng Li glanced at the destroyed tree and also turned to leave.

’Did he figure something out?’

Chen Yu rubbed his chin, pondering for a moment as he watched Cai Kun’s departing back.

’If he figured it out, he figured it out. It doesn’t matter.’ Chen Yu didn’t dwell on it and followed them.

His physical Evolution had indeed brought about a significant and obvious improvement. It was normal for Cai Kun, a Third-level Martial Artist and a capable Awakened, to notice.

However, his new Skill was his real trump card.

The physical Evolution was just a cover.

A dozen minutes later, Chen Yu’s group arrived on a highway.

The ruined city was just ahead!

Collapsed buildings were covered in dense ivy, the wreckage of an airplane by the roadside had rotted away, and the steel of a spaceship was completely rusted. It looked like this civilized city had been destroyed a very long time ago.

"SCREEE—!"

Just as the four of them were heading towards the ruined city, a screech suddenly echoed from the sky, and a black shadow dove down like an arrow.

The group looked up. The black shadow was a bird-type mutant beast.

Its black feathers looked as if they were forged from steel.

With a sound of displaced air, it closed the distance to less than a hundred meters in an instant.

"An Iron-Winged Bird!"

Chen Yu’s pupils contracted; he recognized this bird-type mutant beast at a glance.

It was a common type of flying mutant beast.

This Iron-Winged Bird’s aura was that of a Level 2 Mutant Beast.

A Level 2 Iron-Winged Bird was several times larger than a normal eagle.

"I’ll take it!"

An Ran’s voice rang out. The moment she spoke, her body vanished into thin air. The next second, she reappeared on the Iron-Winged Bird’s back.

"Is that teleportation?!"

Chen Yu’s eyes widened in utter disbelief.

Teleportation!

This was the first time he had seen An Ran use her ability!

A Spatial Ability!

An Awakened with this kind of ability had incredible potential!

"Hehe, let’s see how you like a taste of my lightning."

A smile appeared on An Ran’s face as electricity crackled between her hands.

"BZZT—!"

A powerful electric current instantly enveloped the Iron-Winged Bird. The moment she released the electricity, An Ran’s body vanished again.

"THUD!"

The Iron-Winged Bird crashed heavily onto the ground, cracking the pavement.

The smell of burnt meat wafted over. A short distance away, the Iron-Winged Bird lay motionless on the ground.
