My Talent Skill Mutated

And this was just the current stage.

The next stage would likely require more than double the amount.

’How many mutant beasts will I have to kill...’

Chen Yu’s head ached as he stared at the interface.

A million, several million... soon it would probably be tens of millions, or even over a hundred million.

To accumulate that much, he’d probably only be able to break through during a large-scale beast tide.

’No rush, I’ll take it slow. This also gives me time to completely master my Skills.’

After comforting himself, Chen Yu closed his eyes and began to cultivate using the Celestial Destiny Skill.

In the Chaotic State, four clusters of light, sources of heat, now appeared.

The Divine Will Skill was the newest golden cluster of light.

The two golden clusters of light were like suns hanging in the Chaos.

They intertwined, seeming to contain infinite power.

Sensing them, Chen Yu began to strengthen and enhance them using his Celestial Destiny Skill.

After this physical Evolution, his talent had improved once again. Chen Yu vaguely felt he could break through the barrier of the Celestial Destiny Skill and enter its second layer.

「Two hours passed.」

Chen Yu had completely mastered his enhanced strength.

This physical Evolution had brought significant changes, greatly increasing his power, especially in the physical aspect.

His body had become even more robust.

With his immense power, he could even surpass a fourth-level Martial Artist.

He felt he wouldn’t be much weaker than a fifth-level Martial Artist either.

If he unleashed his Divine Will Skill, he was confident he could even take down a fifth-level Martial Artist.

The key problem was that this ability was uncontrollable, so Chen Yu didn’t dare to test it recklessly.

If something went wrong and An Ran and Baili Qing got hurt, it would be a disaster.

"Brother Yu?"

Just then, An Ran’s voice came from outside. Chen Yu snapped back to reality, got up, and opened the door.

An Ran and Baili Qing were both well-rested.

"Brother Yu, you... you seem different somehow?" An Ran asked, unable to stop herself from looking Chen Yu up and down.

"I just broke through to the third level," Chen Yu said lightly.

"..."

"You... you broke through?" An Ran stared at him in disbelief.

Baili Qing also stared at him, stunned.

He broke through in the time it took to take a nap...

’What kind of freak is he!’

Chen Yu nodded.

"Yes, I had an epiphany, so I broke through."

’...What kind of monster is this? He broke through so easily?!’ A storm raged in An Ran’s heart as she looked at Chen Yu.

She had just taken a nap, and it had only been two hours.

’There’s no comparing to an S-rank talent.’

An Ran sighed internally but quickly composed herself.

"Brother Yu, why don’t you get some rest too? We can move out afterward," An Ran suggested, looking at Chen Yu.

"You rest. We’ll stand guard," Baili Qing chimed in.

Chen Yu shook his head. "No need. I feel great. Let’s keep moving."

After the physical Evolution, he was indeed full of energy.

Resting was out of the question.

’I came all this way, I have to upgrade at least one or two Skills before I’m done.’

Seeing Chen Yu glowing with health, the two of them said no more. The trio then left the presidential suite.

Leaving the hotel, Chen Yu’s group headed deeper into Crane City.

They had already been to quite a few places that night.

This time, the three of them chose a different direction.

Northern Crane City.

The destruction here was extremely severe, with collapsed skyscrapers everywhere.

Vast swaths of buildings had crumbled, a scene even worse than the aftermath of a major earthquake.

It was a chaotic mess of ruins in every direction; you could barely find a single intact building.

And this was the very place where the beast tide in Crane City had first erupted.

In his memory, countless terrifying mutant beasts had suddenly burst from underground, causing instantaneous, devastating destruction.

Attacked from both within and without, Crane City’s defenses stood no chance against such a massive beast tide.

Chen Yu’s home was also in the northern district of Crane City.

But now, it was gone.

His home was completely buried beneath the rubble.

"ROAR—!"

Just as the three were cautiously advancing, a series of roars and snarls from mutant beasts suddenly echoed from a nearby abandoned street.

’Trouble!’

Hearing the mutant beasts’ cries, the trio immediately became fully alert.

"SWOOSH—!"

Chen Yu was the first to move. Enveloped in his Biological Force Field, he rushed toward the source of the sound at incredible speed.

An Ran and Baili Qing followed close behind. In an instant, the three of them arrived on another ruined street.

Dust and smoke billowed up as powerful fluctuations of energy spread out.

Two figures wielding battle sabers were fending off mutant beasts, saber Qi crisscrossing through the air. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

A man and a woman.

Judging by their Qi fluctuations, both the man and the woman were Third-level Martial Artists.

And before them were more than a dozen Level 3 Mutant Beasts.

Each one was massive and extremely ferocious.

Tao Beasts!

Chen Yu recognized the pack of mutant beasts at a glance.

Level 3 Mutant Beasts, Tao Beasts. They possessed powerful defenses and extremely high speed.

Facing the siege of over a dozen Tao Beasts, the man and woman were in a sorry state.

"Who are they?" Baili Qing asked, her expression grave as she watched the man and woman battle the pack of Tao Beasts.

It was rare to see anyone else in the ruins of Crane City these days, though not impossible.

Bounty Hunters, wandering Martial Artists, bandits, and even academy students could potentially show up here.

Still, this was the first group of people they had encountered since entering Crane City.

Two Third-level Martial Artists—their strength was not to be underestimated.

"They’re human. That’s all that matters. Let’s deal with this first."

As soon as the words left Chen Yu’s mouth, his figure shot forward like a cannonball.

’Level 3 Mutant Beasts... all that Source of Life right in front of me. I can’t let it go to waste.’

"..."

Watching Chen Yu charge straight in, Baili Qing and An Ran were stunned for a moment before they too sprang into action.
