My Talent Skill Mutated

After reading about the Celestial Destiny Skill, Chen Yu understood something truly terrifying about it!

Just like its name, it was utterly incredible.

It had a total of nine levels.

Only after successfully cultivating the first level could one move on to the second.

After mastering each level, one’s cultivation speed would increase severalfold.

Upon successfully cultivating all nine levels of the Celestial Destiny Skill, one’s cultivation speed would be over a hundred times faster than that of a normal Martial Artist.

At this, Chen Yu finally understood why the Awakened improved so quickly.

The Celestial Destiny Skill was practically a cheat code.

Of course, cultivating the Celestial Destiny Skill was not so easy.

Each level was extremely difficult.

The difficulty increased geometrically with each level, and the time required would also be longer.

It wasn’t something one could easily cultivate to the ninth level.

Of course, the higher one’s innate talent, the easier it was to cultivate the Celestial Destiny Skill.

But even for an ordinary Awakened cultivating the Celestial Destiny Skill, it was a completely different league compared to a regular Martial Artist.

For Martial Artists—setting aside the True God Level for now—the journey from level one to nine was a massive leap.

Even just the first level of the Celestial Destiny Skill granted a cultivation speed several times faster than that of a normal Martial Artist.

With the same amount of training, others could improve several times faster. Over time, the gap would become crushingly wide.

This was also why the Awakened could more easily become top-tier Martial Artists.

An ordinary Martial Artist, even one with cultivation talent, couldn’t compete with the Celestial Destiny Skill.

The skill lived up to its name!

The Children of Destiny!

’I really have seen too little of the world...’ Chen Yu lamented inwardly.

The Celestial Destiny Skill opened the door to the world of the Awakened, and Chen Yu could sense how absurdly overpowered it was.

’But it’s fine, I have my own cheat.’

Even if he couldn’t cultivate the Celestial Destiny Skill, it didn’t matter.

「 」

The first day’s curriculum was simple. Besides the cultivation method for the Celestial Destiny Skill, there was also Skill practice.

An Ran and Baili Qing already had a foundation and had learned to cultivate the Celestial Destiny Skill long ago. Although Chen Yu was a bit behind, it wasn’t a major problem.

Thanks to his body’s Evolution, his comprehension was also extremely fast. He was able to grasp the Skill lessons taught by Tianhai Yoou with almost no difficulty.

...

Class ended, and the afternoon was free time.

The Superpower Academy only had one class in the morning.

A two-hour lesson.

It was different from a normal university.

The three of them walked out of the classroom. Tianhai Yoou looked at Chen Yu and pushed up her gold-rimmed glasses. "Chen Yu, if there’s anything you don’t understand about your cultivation, you can find me in the faculty residential area. I’m in Room 301."

Chen Yu nodded. Tianhai Yoou gave a slight smile, then turned and walked away, her graceful figure swaying.

Chen Yu fell into deep thought as he watched her elegant silhouette disappear.

’The masters of the elite classes are all A-rank Awakened.’

He was a little curious about the true level of Tianhai Yoou’s strength.

The abilities of the Awakened varied. A higher-level Awakened wasn’t necessarily stronger, but a high-level Awakened was definitely not going to be weak.

"Enjoying the view?"

An Ran’s voice suddenly sounded by his ear.

Chen Yu snapped back to his senses.

"Teacher Tianhai is still single. If you like her, you might still have a chance," An Ran said, smiling brightly at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu: "..."

"I was just curious about Master Tianhai’s strength," Chen Yu said.

An Ran nodded. "I get it. Men always make excuses."

Chen Yu: "..."

Baili Qing: "..."

"Master Tianhai is a Sixth-level Martial Artist. In terms of strength, she’s probably even more formidable than an average Seventh-level one," Baili Qing chimed in.

Hearing this, Chen Yu nodded, not feeling particularly surprised.

A Sixth-level Martial Artist whose abilities allowed her to rival a Level 7.

That wasn’t an exaggeration. After all, the Elite Student he had met before, Zhuang Qi, already possessed strength approaching that of a Seventh-level Martial Artist.

An Ran looked at Chen Yu and patted her chest. "Chen Yu, it’s your first day at the Superpower Academy. Come on, I’ll show you around."

"Brother Qing, are you coming?" An Ran then turned to ask Baili Qing.

Baili Qing shook his head. "No need for me. You guys go ahead. I’m going back to cultivate."

"What a boring guy," An Ran pouted.

Baili Qing didn’t say anything more and left.

An Ran looked at Chen Yu. "He’s not going, so let’s go."

Chen Yu glanced at the departing Baili Qing, then looked back at An Ran and nodded.

He did need to familiarize himself with the academy.

Superpower Academy—a place of crouching tigers and hidden dragons!

This was also an opportunity to see more of the Awakened.

「 」

Chen Yu followed An Ran to many places.

He was most interested in the library.

The Superpower Academy’s library contained numerous martial techniques, combat methods, and books detailing the experiences of powerful individuals with their abilities.

However, the books in the library couldn’t be read freely; they required academic credits.

And these credits could be understood as a form of hard currency within the Superpower Academy!

Credits were very important!

With enough credits, one could learn more Skills.

Besides Skills, there were also various enhancement pills.

In fact, those were the most frequently exchanged items.

Furthermore, credits could also be exchanged for money, at a rate of one hundred yuan per credit.

However, almost no one would exchange their credits for money, because credits were not easy to earn.

Credits could only be obtained by completing missions.

From D-rank missions to S-rank missions.

The credits awarded varied; the higher the rank, the more credits you received.

The lowest-level missions awarded a double-digit amount of credits, which wasn’t much. If completed by a team, the amount each person received after splitting it would be even less.

If a mission failed, credits would be deducted.

After touring the important locations of the Superpower Academy and eating in the campus cafeteria, Chen Yu and An Ran returned to the dormitory area.

He had thought about seeing Cai Kun and Meng Li, but they weren’t at the Superpower Academy; they were out on a mission.

Returning to his room, Chen Yu sat on the sofa, closed his eyes, and recalled the cultivation method for the Celestial Destiny Skill.

Perceive the Seed of Superpower.

Following the method of the Celestial Destiny Skill, Chen Yu tried cultivating on the sofa. The skill was fast at absorbing the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, and the mental cultivation aspect was also very potent.

As he cultivated, Chen Yu’s spirit seemed to enter a Chaotic State.

At the same time, he sensed what felt like three "heat sources" inside his body.

The three heat sources were of different sizes and colors.

One was cyan, one was red, and one was gold.

They were right there, inside his body.

The Seeds of Superpower!

In an instant, Chen Yu’s eyes flew open, his pupils constricting in shock.

’It worked?’

An expression of disbelief was on Chen Yu’s face.

By cultivating the Celestial Destiny Skill, he had actually managed to sense his own Seeds of Superpower.

He had succeeded on his first try.

After a long moment, Chen Yu came back to his senses.

Closing his eyes again, Chen Yu followed the Celestial Destiny Skill’s method and re-entered the Chaotic State.

The Seeds of Superpower in his body appeared once more.

Cyan, red, and gold!

Three Seeds of Superpower.

Among them, the golden Seed of Superpower was the most powerful, several times larger than the other two.

The cyan Seed of Superpower was the smallest, about the size of a grain of rice.

It looked more like a small speck of light.

If not for its different color, it would have been almost unnoticeable.

The red Seed of Superpower was stronger, about the size of a quail’s egg.

And the golden Seed of Superpower was the largest, the size of a chicken’s egg.

Chen Yu opened his eyes. It was easy to distinguish the strength of his abilities from the size of their corresponding Seeds of Superpower.

The cyan Superpower, Spirit Devour!

This ability only had the effect of rapidly restoring his Qi.

The red Superpower, Frost Breath, was different.

It was his first offensive Superpower.

The golden Superpower was his Biological Force Field.

It was also his most powerful Skill at present.

’Will cultivating the Celestial Destiny Skill increase my Skill experience?’

The thought surfaced in Chen Yu’s mind.

Normally, the Awakened could enhance their abilities by cultivating the Celestial Destiny Skill.

However, he had always relied on stacking experience directly using his Source of Life!

’Let’s give it a try.’

Adjusting his state of mind, Chen Yu closed his eyes and began to cultivate the Celestial Destiny Skill once more.

He would know whether it could enhance his Skills after he cultivated.

If it could, it would save him some experience.

His body’s Evolution required Source of Life, and the further he progressed, the more Source of Life he would need.

There was also Skill enhancement. The more Skills he had, the more astronomical the amount of Source of Life required would become.

If this worked, it would definitely be good news for him.
