My Talent Skill Mutated

Through his Force Field, Chen Yu had already "seen" six figures deep within the palace.

Six figures.

’This... is one of the Alien Race!’

As his gaze fell upon one of the figures, Chen Yu’s pupils contracted sharply.

Among the six figures, one of them wasn’t human.

It had a human body from the neck down, but its head was that of a lizard!

And it had a long tail.

’A lizardman?!’

Chen Yu was stunned.

Alien Race, alien beast. The difference was just one word, but they were worlds apart.

Alien beasts were mostly massive monsters. Even top-tier ones, despite their considerable intelligence, were not of the Alien Race.

The Alien Race ran rampant throughout Cosmic Deep Space, and Chen Yu had seen plenty of news reports about them.

But he had never seen a real one in person.

But today, he had.

A lizardman!

The most powerful Life Fluctuations of all emanated from this lizardman.

To think there was a member of the Alien Race in this Pantheon Sect stronghold.

This was something Chen Yu had not expected.

He had long known that the two Heterodox Sects—the Divine Authority Council and the Pantheon Sect—had deep ties to the Alien Race and alien beasts, but he never imagined he would actually see one here.

The power of the Alien Race was even more terrifying than that of alien beasts.

The Alien Race commanded powerful technology and, at the same time, possessed highly advanced cultivation civilizations.

In fact, humanity’s martial arts civilization was developed from what they had discovered of the Alien Race.

The methods of the Alien Race were unfathomable.

Even powerful human Awakened might not be their match.

Deep in the palace, the lizardman sat in the seat of honor, with the five humans seated below. He lorded over them, and they all seemed to be in discussion.

And the lizardman’s fluctuations were at least Level 7.

Another was nearly Level 7—the Pantheon Sect leader Baili Qing had learned about from the bandit’s memories.

There was still a massive gap between being *almost* Level 7 and *actually* being Level 7.

But this lizardman was, without a doubt, a true Level 7.

Just as Chen Yu was secretly "watching" with his Force Field, the lizardman on the palace throne suddenly seemed to sense something. It snapped its head up, its crimson eyes seemingly piercing through everything.

BZZT—!

In an instant, his Force Field perception was severed by some mysterious power.

’I’ve been discovered!’

Chen Yu was alarmed.

The lizardman’s abilities were beyond his imagination—it could even sever his Force Field perception.

At that same moment, deep in the underground palace, the lizardman on the throne stood up.

Its gaze fell upon a middle-aged man before it.

"It seems you’ve been found out. A human has come to your doorstep," the lizardman said calmly.

The middle-aged man’s expression changed, and he immediately dropped to his knees. "Revered Lord Akam, this is my failure. I will go resolve it at once. Please, rest assured, my lord. I will ensure no information about you gets out."

"No need. This intruder is no small matter. I want to meet them myself."

SWOOSH—!

The moment the words fell, the lizardman’s figure distorted, as if it had vanished in an instant.

Sweat dripped from the middle-aged man’s pale forehead. The faces of the others were just as grim.

The middle-aged man rose, his expression grim. He looked at the others and said in a heavy voice, "Go out at once and assist the lord! Anyone who has seen him must die! We will not hesitate, even if it means destroying all of Jiang City!"

"Yes!"

The men nodded and swiftly departed from the underground palace.

...

SWOOSH—!

By this time, Chen Yu had already vanished from the Longjiang Villa district, his figure streaking toward the outskirts of the city.

He deliberately left a faint trace of his energy signature behind.

The goal was to lure the lizardman into chasing him.

If it weren’t for the lizardman, Chen Yu would have attacked directly. But the appearance of one of the Alien Race changed everything.

If the ensuing fight was too large-scale, half the city could be wiped out by the shockwaves.

When it came to harvesting the Source of Life, Chen Yu still had his principles.

He was not some homicidal maniac.

He wouldn’t hesitate to kill those who deserved it, but he wasn’t depraved enough to prey on ordinary people.

Besides, he couldn’t obtain much Source of Life from ordinary people anyway.

’Not worth it!’

Moving at a breakneck pace, Chen Yu reached the wilderness outside the city in an instant.

After sending a message to An Ran and the others, Chen Yu came to a halt.

’A Level 7 from the Alien Race... I’m afraid I’ll have to play my trump card this time.’

...

In a hotel room in Jiang City, An Ran and the others were gathered, waiting for news from Chen Yu.

PING!

The Life Watches on all three of their wrists vibrated. A message appeared in their group chat.

"Change of plans. A powerful member of the Alien Race has appeared. I’m handling it. Wait for news."

"What!!!"

Seeing the message, all three of them turned pale with shock.

’The Alien Race?!’

’Didn’t he go to the Pantheon Sect stronghold?’

’How did he run into one of the Alien Race?!’

Their expressions were grim.

A member of the Alien Race that Chen Yu himself would call "powerful" had to be an existence beyond Level 6.

"This won’t do. I have to go back him up. We can’t let anything happen to Chen Yu," Xu Feng said at once.

But in the next second, Baili Qing grabbed his wrist.

"Brother Feng, wait."

Xu Feng looked at Baili Qing.

Baili Qing’s expression was grave. "Brother Feng, Brother Yu shouldn’t be in any real danger. You have to trust him. Besides, if we go, we’ll probably just hold him back."

"Then what should we do? It’s too late to call for reinforcements now," Xu Feng said, his expression grim.

"Let me try," An Ran said. "I might be able to get us some powerful reinforcements."

The two of them looked at An Ran and nodded.

She immediately placed a call.

Soon, a woman’s voice came from the other end of the watch.

"What’s wrong, An Ran? It’s so late, is something the matter?"

"Sister Wan, we have an emergency. I need powerful backup, preferably Level 7 or higher."

"?"

"What could be so serious?" the woman on the other end asked in surprise.

"A powerful member of the Alien Race has appeared. My teammate is holding it off."

"What?!" the woman on the other end exclaimed, but she quickly composed herself. "Location."

"Jiang City Safety Zone!" An Ran replied.

"...Support will arrive in fifteen minutes!" the woman’s voice rang out.

"Thank you, Sister Wan," An Ran replied, then ended the call.

"Arriving in just fifteen minutes? Who did you call?" Xu Feng looked at An Ran in surprise.

"The Dongfang family!" An Ran answered in just three words.
