My Talent Skill Mutated

Time, like money in the bank, is slow to accumulate and quick to spend.

Under the setting sun.

Outside the steel-forged walls of the safety zone, a black Hummer sped toward the city.

Inside the vehicle, Chen Yu gazed through the window at the distant steel wall.

It was much like the one in Qing City.

Tall and imposing!

It was like a great steel beast crouching upon the earth, guarding the lives behind it!

Lin City Safety Zone!

This was a small-scale safety zone.

About the same size as Qing City.

When night fell, the city’s security gates would be sealed.

However, there was still over half an hour to go.

The black Hummer entered the Lin City Safety Zone without any obstruction.

Looking out the window, everything seemed similar to the Qing City Safety Zone.

After a full day of driving, Chen Yu felt a little weary.

"Just hang in there a little longer. We’ll be able to rest soon," Instructor Wang said, turning back from the front passenger seat to look at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu nodded.

Physically, he felt fine; it was the mental monotony that was getting to him.

He hadn’t encountered a single anomalous beast all day, and he found it rather dull.

Ever since coming out of the Abyssal Realm, he had actually started craving a confrontation with them.

Not seeing a single anomalous beast all day felt not only boring but also a bit unlucky...

—

Night fell.

The Lin City Safety Zone lit up with the lights of a thousand homes.

In the suburbs, the black Hummer pulled to a stop in front of a villa.

Chen Yu looked at the detached villa before him, quite surprised.

’Just a random place to stay for the night, and it’s this luxurious?’

’Are all the people from the Superpower Academy loaded or something?’

He was surprised, but he didn’t say anything.

An instructor from the Superpower Academy held a status far beyond what someone from an ordinary university could compare to.

After getting out of the car, he followed Instructor Wang toward the villa.

"This is a place that belongs to a friend of mine. We’ll stay here for the night and set off again tomorrow morning."

Instructor Wang said as they walked.

Chen Yu nodded.

They walked into the brightly lit villa and entered the main hall, where a hot meal was already prepared.

It was as if they had timed their arrival perfectly.

As they entered the hall, a middle-aged man in a crisp suit approached them.

"Respected Mr. Wang, hello. I am the butler here. The master has already given his instructions. You may dine first. Your rooms have been prepared."

The butler said with a smile.

Chen Yu glanced at the dining table not far away, where two young women in maid outfits stood on either side.

’This lifestyle is even more extravagant than mine,’

Chen Yu grumbled to himself as he took in the scene.

Back on Earth, he would have been considered a rich second-generation kid, but now he felt that his perspective as one was completely inadequate.

This standard of living wasn’t just a little bit higher.

Instructor Wang nodded, then looked at Chen Yu. "Let’s wash up and eat first."

"This way, please!"

With a gentlemanly smile, the butler led them to the restroom. Soon, they were seated at the dining table.

Chen Yu looked at the various dishes on the table.

Everything was perfectly prepared.

A dazzling array.

To be able to eat such a delicious feast in this world was something many people wouldn’t even dare to dream of.

Chen Yu didn’t bother with pleasantries and immediately picked up his chopsticks.

Politeness? He wasn’t one to stand on ceremony.

If there’s food, eat. If there’s drink, drink!

If there’s something to enjoy, then enjoy it.

...

After eating and drinking to his heart’s content, Chen Yu went to a room on the third floor of the villa.

The room was large and spacious, with a private bathroom.

Instructor Wang and the two armed youths were in the room next door.

Standing by the window, Chen Yu accessed the network and checked the map.

Looking at the route on the virtual screen before him, he estimated that they wouldn’t reach Jingzhou Base City until tomorrow evening.

He closed the network and turned to lie down on the bed.

With a thought, he summoned his interface.

Name: Chen Yu!

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Three 0/50,000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: Spirit Devour (Perfection 0/200,000), Frost Breath (Advanced 0/100,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend Intermediate 0/100,000)

Source of Life: 26,530

’Still about halfway to go...’

Looking at the interface, Chen Yu sighed inwardly.

His next Evolution would bring another massive leap in his power.

The Evolution of his physique had already allowed his physical attributes to far surpass those of ordinary Martial Artists at the same level.

And his combination of Skills was like adding wings to a tiger.

’I can’t neglect my cultivation, either. Otherwise, it’ll be hard to use future high-level Skills to their full potential,’

Chen Yu thought to himself.

He then closed the interface.

Closing his eyes, he began to practice the Starry Sky Breathing Skill.

With every Evolution, Chen Yu could feel his innate talent constantly improving.

Cultivation talent was a very mysterious thing.

You couldn’t touch it, but you could feel it.

His Qi had now increased to a level of 2.3.

This rate of improvement was already incredibly fast.

He might be able to break through to Level Three in just a month or two.

This definitely wasn’t due to his own innate talent; the core reason was the Evolution of his physique.

Not only were his physical attributes improving, but his innate talent was also changing along with them.

...

Late at night, the sky was like an abyss, silent and still.

Suddenly, in the quiet villa, Chen Yu’s eyes snapped open on the bed.

He looked out the window. He could faintly sense someone approaching.

In one smooth motion, Chen Yu silently moved to the window.

It was pitch-black outside, with only a few lights illuminating the area around the villa.

The dark night, like the Abyss itself, seemed to swallow everything!

HUM—!

With a single thought, Chen Yu’s Biological Force Field silently expanded.

In the next second, a clear thermal image appeared in his mind.

Force Field sense!

He could sense all living beings through his Biological Force Field.

He had become extremely adept at using his Biological Force Field Skill.

In his mind’s eye, several life forms appeared in the thermal image.

This included the two armed youths in the room next to his.

And outside the villa, a total of five figures were approaching.

They were coming from different directions around the villa.

’It doesn’t look like these five are the villa’s owners coming home.’

Instructor Wang had mentioned earlier that the owner was out of town and wouldn’t be back for several days.

That meant these five people appearing in the dead of night most likely had malicious intentions.

In his mind, the five figures in the thermal image rapidly closed in on the villa.

Through his Force Field sense, he could precisely pinpoint their direction and location.

Even the pitch-black night couldn’t block his perception.

Just as the five people outside were getting closer, in the next room, Instructor Wang, who had been lying in bed, suddenly opened his eyes.

He quickly sat up and looked out the window, seemingly having sensed something.

He felt for the Life Watch on his wrist and tapped it lightly.

At the same time, the two armed youths in the other adjacent room woke up instantly.

’How did we get targeted? Could they be after Chen Yu?’

The thought flashed through Instructor Wang’s mind.

Just then, Chen Yu’s voice came through the Life Watch.

"Instructor Wang, what are these five people doing here in the middle of the night?"

Through his Force Field sense, Chen Yu had already "seen" Instructor Wang get out of bed.

Hearing Chen Yu’s question, Instructor Wang was taken aback.

’I only sensed that something was off, but Chen Yu has already determined the exact number of intruders?’

’As expected, an S-rank Ability User is no joke.’

"I’m not sure. They’re definitely up to no good. Don’t leave your room. I’ll test them out first."

Instructor Wang replied. Then, with a flash, his figure slipped silently out of the window.

’Is there going to be a fight?’

’In that case, I have to go help out!’

"Seeing" Instructor Wang leave the room, a sharp glint appeared in Chen Yu’s eyes as his Force Field enveloped him.

He silently left the room.

When it came to fighting, he never got stage fright!

If he couldn’t win, he could always run!

Flinching before a fight even started—that wasn’t the kind of person he, Chen Yu, was.

If they were really after him, then there was definitely a problem.
