My Talent Skill Mutated

The man and woman weren’t important to them, but since Chen Yu had made a move, they weren’t about to just stand by and watch.

WHOOSH—!

A blue storm, visible to the naked eye, descended from the air. In an instant, the temperature of the ruined street plummeted, as if plunging into an Ice Hell.

A dozen or so mutant beasts were instantly frozen into ice sculptures on the spot.

The young man and woman were stunned. Before they could even react, a several-meter-long streak of cyan blade energy descended from the sky.

BOOM—!!!

The street shuddered. Rubble shattered, turning to dust. A powerful wave of Qi washed over the area as the ferocious blade energy ran rampant.

Shards of ice and flesh flew everywhere. A frosty mist filled the air, and from its center, a young man stepped out, blade in hand.

"...It’s over."

An Ran and Baili Qing had just rushed forward, but when they saw the ground covered in ice and mangled flesh, they exchanged a glance and instantly reined in their auras.

They had been ready to fight, but they never even got the chance.

Chen Yu had handled it all by himself.

’This guy’s power is growing way too fast.’ An Ran sighed inwardly as she watched Chen Yu.

The rate at which Chen Yu’s power had grown since she first met him was beyond her wildest imagination.

But considering Chen Yu had S-rank talent, this kind of growth was to be expected.

After all, every S-rank Ability User had the potential to reach the True God Level.

"Who is this powerhouse?!"

Not far away, the man and woman watched the young man emerge from the frosty mist, their hearts pounding in their chests.

He had the Qi fluctuations of a Third-level Martial Artist, meaning he was one too. But even among Third-level Martial Artists, a power gap this huge was unheard of.

To instantly obliterate more than a dozen Level 3 Mutant Beasts... not even a fourth-level Martial Artist could pull that off so decisively.

His power completely crushed theirs.

GULP~

The young man and woman exchanged a look, swallowing nervously.

"Thank you for your help, friend. We are eternally grateful."

Snapping out of their daze, the young man and woman immediately stepped forward to speak.

Chen Yu was busy checking the over six thousand points of Source of Life he had just gained. Hearing the voice, he looked up at the man and woman before him.

They were dressed in casual clothes and weren’t bad-looking, though the recent fight had left them looking a bit disheveled.

"Don’t mention it," Chen Yu said flatly. "It’s dangerous here. You shouldn’t explore recklessly. You should leave quickly."

The young man and woman exchanged a look. The man spoke up, "Thank you for the warning, friend, but we’re here on a mission. We haven’t completed it yet, so we still need a little more time."

"Hm?"

Hearing this, Chen Yu looked at the two of them.

Just then, An Ran and Baili Qing walked over, and the duo’s gazes shifted to them.

"On a mission? Are you from the Superpower Academy, or are you Bounty Hunters?" An Ran asked, looking at the pair.

The two shook their heads. The young man answered, "Neither. We are third-year students at Jingzhou University."

"Jingzhou University?!"

Chen Yu’s group of three exchanged a glance.

’What a coincidence.’

’They’re from Jingzhou too?’

"Could you three be from Jingzhou as well?" the young man asked, having noticed their expressions.

An Ran nodded. "Yes, we’re from Jingzhou Academy."

Hearing this, the young man and woman were also stunned for a moment.

’They’re all from Jingzhou Academy?!’

’Wait, the Academy...’

’Could they be... students from the Superpower Academy?!’

A thought suddenly flashed through their minds. Recalling the sight of Chen Yu in action, their suspicion grew into certainty.

"Are you... students from the Superpower Academy?!" the young man asked tentatively, though he was already quite sure of the answer.

An Ran nodded.

The pair’s pupils contracted at the sight. They quickly composed themselves and immediately bowed.

"So you are all esteemed Awakened! Please forgive our ignorance. Thank you for saving us."

Their faces were filled with humble respect.

Awakened, members of the highest echelon of society.

They were not something ordinary Martial Artists could compare to.

Their status was Extraordinary!

"No need for formalities. You two should be more careful. This place isn’t very safe."

An Ran accepted their deference with a gracious smile.

The young woman looked at them and asked, "Esteemed Awakened, could we perhaps travel with you?"

Hearing this, Chen Yu’s brow furrowed. Baili Qing saw Chen Yu’s frowning expression and immediately spoke:

"No. We have our own mission, and it’s quite dangerous."

As he spoke, Baili Qing glanced at Chen Yu again, and Chen Yu’s brows relaxed.

"I... I see. Well, thank you again, esteemed Awakened," the woman said, forcing a smile. She didn’t press the issue.

"Brother Yu, let’s go," Baili Qing said.

Chen Yu nodded. In a flash, he was gone, heading off into the distance.

An Ran and Baili Qing followed closely behind. The three of them quickly disappeared at the end of the ruined street.

The young man and woman watched their retreating figures until they vanished, then exchanged a look.

Then, with a flash, the two of them sped off in another direction.

The ruined street returned to silence. And not long after the two left, a figure appeared in the street.

Xu Feng watched the direction the young man and woman left, his eyes glinting.

After pondering for a moment, his figure flashed, and he quickly pursued them.

...

Night fell once again.

The galaxy stretched across the sky, its soft moonlight bathing the lands of Crane City.

Within the city, atop an abandoned building, Chen Yu and his companions appeared.

After a full day of slaughter, they had eliminated many mutant beasts, including three fourth-level ones.

Their mission was now forty percent complete.

On the top floor of the building, in a derelict office, the three found a place to rest.

The continuous fighting had drained a significant amount of even Chen Yu’s stamina.

After fighting for a full day and night without rest, he was starting to feel the fatigue.

Sitting on the sofa, Chen Yu glanced at the two resting people, then summoned the interface to start checking his Source of Life.

A day’s worth of slaughtering mutant beasts had allowed him to accumulate a substantial amount of Source of Life.
