My Talent Skill Mutated

It’s all over!!!

Staring at the corpse on the ground, Xu Feng felt the world spin.

The sky was falling!

An S-rank Ability User was dead. He was finished, too.

"Brother Feng, calm down. That’s not Chen Yu," Baili Qing said.

Huh?

Xu Feng was jolted back to his senses. He immediately strode forward, with An Ran and Baili Qing following him to the corpse.

"This is an alien corpse!"

Looking at the lizardman on the ground, An Ran cried out in alarm.

"Where’s Chen Yu?"

Xu Feng scanned the surroundings but didn’t sense the slightest fluctuation of energy.

"This alien is dead, so Brother Yu must be fine,"

Baili Qing said.

"It looks like he went into the city," An Ran said quietly, looking at the location tracker on her wrist-watch.

Baili Qing and Xu Feng looked at the tracker, their gazes turning toward Jiang City.

According to the tracking data, Chen Yu had indeed entered the city.

Baili Qing glanced at the tracker, then at the distant Jiang City. "Brother Yu must have gone into the city to uproot the Pantheon Sect’s stronghold."

An Ran and Xu Feng exchanged a glance.

That explanation did seem reasonable.

’Brother Yu... Pantheon Sect stronghold... It seems these three are the other two students from the Superpower Academy.’

Hidden in the darkness, a man in a black robe listened to their conversation, then allowed his figure to emerge.

The three immediately grew wary, their eyes fixed on the man in black.

"Don’t be alarmed. I was sent by the Dongfang family to support you,"

the man in the black robe said.

Support from the Dongfang family...

The three exchanged a glance. An Ran looked at the man in black. "Did Sister Wan send you?"

The man in the black robe nodded. "Yes, the Third Miss sent me. My name is Dongfang Li."

"Perfect timing. Thank you for helping us take care of the alien beast," Xu Feng said with a chuckle.

The man in the black robe shook his head. "I didn’t kill this member of the Demon Lizard Race. Chen Yu did. It was already dead when I arrived."

"I see..."

The three of them nodded.

"What should we do with this corpse?" Baili Qing asked.

The man in the black robe looked at the corpse of the Demon Lizard Race member on the ground, his heart stirring with temptation.

’The body of an Alien Race member must have extraordinary research value. But I’m not the one who killed it, so I definitely can’t take it.’

’Besides, that Chen Yu’s power is terrifying. I don’t want to get on his bad side.’

An Ran and Xu Feng also looked at the alien corpse on the ground.

This wasn’t the corpse of an alien beast, but a member of an Alien Race. Its value was extraordinary.

Moreover, it was the corpse of a powerful member of an Alien Race, making its value even more exceptional.

Just then, the man in the black robe suddenly spoke up. "How about this? There’s probably not much else I can do to help here. If you trust me, I can help take this Demon Lizard corpse back to the Superpower Academy. How about it?"

The three exchanged a look. An Ran quickly sent a message and soon received a reply. Looking at the message, An Ran turned to Dongfang Li and nodded. "Alright. We’ll have to trouble you, then."

"Thank you for your trouble." Seeing An Ran agree, Xu Feng had no objections.

The man in the black robe smiled. "It’s nothing at all."

With that, he hoisted the lizardman’s corpse onto his shoulder, and with a flash, his figure vanished into the night.

As they watched the man in black leave, the trio’s gazes once again turned toward Jiang City.

"We should still go check on him. We can’t let anything go wrong," Xu Feng said with a serious expression.

The other two nodded. Immediately, the three of them headed toward Jiang City.

...

「Thousands of miles away, inside a manor villa in a large safe zone.」

In a room, a figure dressed entirely in a black robe and wearing a black felt hat suddenly stood up.

The black felt hat on his head disintegrated, revealing the face of a middle-aged man. But then, the man’s face changed, transforming into a white lizard’s head as a terrifying aura filled the room.

"Akam is dead!"

The lizardman’s eyes were scarlet. A powerful aura swept out, and a glass on the table, unable to withstand the pressure, instantly exploded into dust.

"Damn humans, you dare kill a member of my Demon Lizard Race! Good. Very good!"

The lizardman’s gaze was filled with killing intent, and the temperature in the entire room plummeted.

Standing at the window, rage churned within him. Only after a long moment did he calm down.

His gaze drifted outside as he sent out an invisible wave of energy.

KNOCK KNOCK!!

Soon, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in!" the lizardman said, his expression flat.

The door opened, and an old man in simple clothes walked in.

The lizardman turned, his scarlet eyes fixing on the old man.

SWOOSH—!

In a single step, the lizardman appeared before the old man and seized him by the throat.

"My... My Lord... What’s wrong?... Why... are you so angry?"

the old man stammered in terror.

The lizardman looked at the old man, his gaze icy. "My younger brother is dead. You ask me what’s wrong?"

The old man’s face flushed red, and he was utterly terrified. The lizardman stared at him, then suddenly released his grip.

HUFF... HUFF... HUFF...!!!

The old man bent over, gasping for air, his expression still one of pure terror.

After a moment, he straightened up and looked at the lizardman before him. "My Lord, did you just say that Lord Akam is dead? This... This isn’t a joke, is it?"

The lizardman’s gaze was frigid, his eyes overflowing with killing intent as a bone-chilling aura enveloped him. "Are you implying that I would joke about my own brother’s life?"

"No, no, no, this old one didn’t mean that." The old man immediately shook his head, his expression panicked.

"Go and investigate at once. Remember, I want all the information. If you can’t find it, you know the consequences," the lizardman said, his voice cold as he suppressed his murderous intent.

"Yes, yes, yes, this old one will go investigate right away. I won’t miss a single piece of information." The old man nodded frantically and quickly left the room.

The lizardman watched the old man leave, then slowly turned back to look out the window.
