My Talent Skill Mutated

Iron-Winged Birds!

Not just one, but a whole flock!

A dark, dense mass of them, at least a hundred strong.

Their flapping wings blotted out the sun!

They seemed to cover half the sky.

"That’s... a Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird!"

Instructor Wang’s pupils contracted, his expression instantly turning solemn.

The expressions of the others darkened as well.

Chen Yu’s gaze also locked onto the flock of Iron-Winged Birds.

One bird in the flock was exceptionally conspicuous. Unlike the others, which were as black as ink, this one’s head and wings were golden, though its body remained dark.

It was also several times larger than a normal Iron-Winged Bird.

It was incredibly eye-catching!

The Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird, a mutated exotic beast.

Within a flock of Iron-Winged Birds, it was the undisputed king!

Judging by its size, this Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird was close to Level 5.

A Level 5 Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird was an absolute overlord of the skies.

It wasn’t uncommon for aircraft to be attacked by flying exotic beasts, but for over a hundred to appear at once... something was wrong.

’Could this be the work of the Divine Authority Council?!’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

’Thinking about it, it’s not impossible.’

Heterodox sects always had innumerable ties to the Alien Races.

The Pantheon Sect was a prime example.

It was certainly no fantasy to think that a heterodox sect comparable to the Pantheon Sect would have connections to the Alien Races.

"BZZZZ—!!!"

The air vibrated as the helicopter’s Energy Shields fully activated, forming a thick protective barrier that enveloped the entire fuselage.

Military helicopters were nothing like civilian aircraft.

"SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH!!!"

As the Energy Shields powered to maximum, several anti-aircraft shells shot out at the same time.

Like roaring dragons, they tore toward the flock of Iron-Winged Birds at supersonic speeds, trailing long vapor tails.

"CAW—!"

A sharp, clear cry rang out.

In the midst of the flock, the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird flapped its wings. A golden light burst forth in the empty air, forming a powerful Golden Radiance Shield that covered the entire flock.

"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!!!"

Mushroom clouds blossomed thousands of meters in the air as a destructive shockwave swept across the sky like a tsunami.

The clouds shattered, and the powerful blast wave destroyed everything in its path.

The helicopter shuddered violently, but its powerful Energy Shield held firm.

"They’re completely fine!"

Chen Yu’s pupils contracted as he stared at the flock of Iron-Winged Birds in the distance.

Five or six anti-aircraft shells had hit them, yet the flock was completely unharmed.

The Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird’s defense had completely blocked the attack.

Not a single Iron-Winged Bird was injured. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Such terrifying defensive power!

Having withstood the barrage of shells, the flock of Iron-Winged Birds let out sharp cries that echoed through the sky.

The hundred-plus birds continued their charge.

"Fire the plasma cannon! Blow the bastards to kingdom come!"

The captain roared, and the co-pilot immediately pressed a button.

"FWOOSH!!!"

A blue beam of light, filled with a destructive aura, shot out from a nozzle on the helicopter.

It streaked across the sky, arriving in an instant.

The Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird once again deployed its Golden Radiance Shield to cover the flock.

"BOOM—!!!"

A deafening blast rang out. The plasma cannon slammed into the Golden Radiance Shield, and this time, it blew right through the bird’s defensive barrier.

Several Iron-Winged Birds were blasted to ash on the spot.

The Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird was also sent flying by the blast, tumbling through the air.

Golden feathers drifted down, and the smell of blood spread through the air.

However, before anyone could celebrate, the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird beat its wings, and a barrage of golden feathers shot toward them like steel arrows.

The other Iron-Winged Birds also opened fire, unleashing an overwhelming storm of feathers.

"CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!!!"

Countless feathers struck the helicopter’s Energy Shield, ringing out with the sound of clashing metal.

CRACK~

Under the overwhelming assault, a crack soon appeared on the helicopter’s Energy Shield.

Instructor Wang’s expression was grim. Wisps of flame began to appear around his body.

Chen Yu also readied himself, activating his Biological Force Field. But just as the two were about to charge out of the helicopter to fight the flock...

A tremendous explosion suddenly erupted.

RUMBLE—!!!

A brilliant light exploded, illuminating the heavens. A shockwave rolled out, and flashes of lightning flickered through the air.

The bodies of the Iron-Winged Birds began to plummet like dumplings falling into a pot, crashing toward the wilderness below.

Everyone’s gaze turned toward the empty sky.

A woman with a stunning figure appeared in their line of sight.

She wore a silver trench coat, her long legs accentuated, her beautiful hair flowing. She cut a dashing and heroic figure.

Arcs of lightning danced around her body, making her look like a goddess of thunder descending to the mortal world.

The hundred-plus Iron-Winged Birds had been wiped out in a single blow. Only the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird remained in mid-air.

Its feathers were scorched black and dripping with blood. It was grievously wounded, looking like a giant, plucked chicken, its previous glory completely gone.

’This broad is fierce!’

Chen Yu’s eyelid twitched. She had wiped out over a hundred Iron-Winged Birds in one move and even left the Level 5 Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird grievously wounded and on the verge of death.

"SWOOSH—!"

Seeing the woman in the silver trench coat, the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird turned to flee without hesitation.

"Trying to run? Did you ask for my permission?"

The woman’s voice rang out as she extended a delicate, jade-like hand. A long whip formed of storm winds and lightning appeared.

"CRACK—!"

The lightning whip cracked, splitting the air as it struck the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird.

Sparks flew and blood flowed freely.

"ZZZZTT!!"

At the same time, the woman lifted her hand, and bolts of lightning rained down from the sky. Before their very eyes, the Golden-Headed Iron-Winged Bird was blasted into smithereens.

The crisis was eliminated just like that.

Only the figure of the woman in the trench coat remained in the sky.

"It’s her!"

Just then, Instructor Wang came to his senses, his eyes lighting up.

Chen Yu looked at the instructor beside him. "You know her?"

Instructor Wang nodded. "Of course, I do. She’s a second-year student at Jingzhou Superpower Academy. She’ll be your senior."

’A second-year student... How can she be so ridiculously strong!’

Chen Yu was inwardly shaken.

He thought of Cai Kun.

Cai Kun was also a second-year student, but compared to this woman, the difference in strength wasn’t just a tiny gap—it was a chasm.

She could casually slaughter a Level 5 exotic beast.

’This level of power... she must be equivalent to a Sixth-level Martial Artist, or maybe even stronger.’

"Student Zhuang Qi, I am Wang Bo, the instructor for Class Three of the first-years at Jingzhou Superpower Academy! Thank you for your assistance. Please, come aboard the helicopter."

Instructor Wang grabbed the intercom and shouted. Out in the sky, the woman in the trench coat turned her gaze toward the helicopter.

"WHOOSH—!"

In a flash, the woman in the trench coat appeared in front of the helicopter.

The helicopter’s cabin door opened, and the woman stepped inside.

The door closed. Instructor Wang waved his hand, and the helicopter resumed its course.

’Her figure is on par with Sophie’s,’ Chen Yu noted silently as he looked at the woman before him.

"Instructor Wang, what are you doing here?" the woman asked, looking at him in surprise.

Instructor Wang smiled faintly. "I’m escorting a new student to the academy."

As he spoke, Instructor Wang gestured toward Chen Yu.

"This is the new student joining Jingzhou Superpower Academy. His name is Chen Yu."

The woman turned to Chen Yu. Her bright eyes studied him, looking him up and down before she extended a slender hand.

"Hello, Junior. I’m Zhuang Qi, a student in the second-year Elite Class 1."

Elite Class 1?

’Are they different from normal students?’

Chen Yu was surprised but kept his expression neutral, reaching out to politely shake her hand.

"A pleasure, Senior Sister Zhuang!"

"By the way, how did you end up here?"

Instructor Wang asked Zhuang Qi.

Zhuang Qi replied, "I was just heading back from a mission in Lvzhou when I happened to run into this."

Instructor Wang nodded with a beaming smile. "I see. Well, thank you again. Things would have gotten really troublesome without you."

Zhuang Qi smiled faintly. "Instructor Wang, you’re too kind. As a student of the Superpower Academy, killing exotic beasts is part of our duty."

Hearing this, Instructor Wang looked gratified.

"Instructor Wang, why are you personally escorting a new student?" Zhuang Qi asked, glancing at Chen Yu before turning back to the instructor.

Instructor Wang said, "I happened to be heading back, so I brought him along. Student Chen Yu will also be in the elite class."

Oh?

Hearing this, Zhuang Qi looked at Chen Yu with a surprised expression.

"I couldn’t tell. So my junior here is a powerful Awakened."

"You’re too kind, Senior Sister. There are plenty of people like me at the Superpower Academy," Chen Yu replied modestly.

"My junior is quite humble," Zhuang Qi said, watching him with a beaming smile.

Chen Yu just smiled faintly and said nothing more.

Zhuang Qi looked at him. "Junior, if you have any problems in the future, feel free to find me. Your senior sister will be happy to help."

"Thank you, Senior Sister."
