My Talent Skill Mutated

A cold wave swept through.

The world was sealed in ice!

The entire industrial park seemed to have plunged into an endless winter in an instant.

A layer of white frost coated the air.

Time itself seemed to stand still!

As the light faded, the three of them opened their eyes to look.

The massive squid, dozens of meters tall, had been frozen solid, transformed into a giant ice sculpture.

Its dozen or so mechanical tentacles were frozen in place, just three inches from Chen Yu.

”GULP~”

Staring at the scene, the three of them subconsciously swallowed.

’Chen Yu’s Ice Ability is this terrifying?!’

’Compared to before, this is a world-changing transformation!’

”BZZZZ—!”

Qi enveloped his fist. His Biological Force Field erupted as Chen Yu slammed a punch onto the squid monster’s head.

CRACK—!

Immense Power permeated its body. Cracks instantly appeared on the giant squid, spreading rapidly until, in a flash, it completely shattered.

Destroyed in a single punch!

”HUFF, HUFF, HUFF!!!”

As he landed, Chen Yu gasped for breath, his face turning pale.

His Freezing Breath had been upgraded to an advanced Skill, and unleashing it at full power had drained ninety-nine percent of his Qi.

His internal Qi Sea was nearly depleted.

The power was immense, but the consumption was also unprecedented.

After taking a few breaths, Chen Yu quickly activated his Spirit Devouring Skill. With the advanced Spirit Devouring Skill active, his Qi began to recover at a visible rate.

’This thing can only be used as a trump card at full power!’

Chen Yu thought to himself.

He hadn’t expected the advanced Freezing Breath Skill to be so terrifying.

Frozen solid in a single blow!

If he had spread it out at full power, half the industrial park would have likely been turned into a frozen wasteland.

The power was immense, but likewise, the consumption was enormous.

Even at Qi Perfection, he could only sustain one use.

Without the Spirit Devouring Skill to recover, his combat effectiveness would have likely plummeted by over eighty percent after a single use.

A depleted Qi supply was like losing half his life.

”Six thousand five hundred and seven...”

Looking at the Source of Life points, a smile finally appeared on Chen Yu’s face.

’This was well worth it!’

He had gained over six thousand Source of Life points in one go.

By his calculations, if he encountered ten more of these giant squid monsters, he could achieve Evolution again.

”Chen Yu, are you okay?”

Cai Kun and the others quickly came to their senses and rushed to Chen Yu’s side.

”I’m fine, just overexerted,” Chen Yu said, shaking his head.

”I have a Qi Enhancement Pill here. Take it,” An Ran said, looking at him as she took out a white pill.

”Thanks.” Chen Yu didn’t stand on ceremony and accepted the Qi Enhancement Pill.

A single Qi Enhancement Pill was not cheap—it was worth ten thousand!

Of course, Qi Enhancement Pills weren’t just for recovering Qi; they could also be used to improve cultivation.

He didn’t need it, though. His Spirit Devouring Skill could handle recovery, and as for cultivation, a single Qi Enhancement Pill wouldn’t give him a significant leap in progress. It was better to sell it for money!

”How did your ability suddenly get so powerful?!” Meng Li asked from the side, looking at Chen Yu.

Cai Kun was also curious.

Improving an innate ability was not easy. It required systematic study to achieve gradual growth.

A sudden, massive leap like Chen Yu’s was practically impossible.

If he hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn’t have believed it was real.

Although it was impossible to judge the giant squid monster’s aura, it was even more terrifying than a typical level-four mutated beast.

To freeze it solid in one go... that kind of power-up was just perverse.

Chen Yu: ”I don’t know either. Maybe the life-or-death crisis awakened my potential and allowed my ability to break through.”

”...”

Hearing this answer, the three of them looked at each other, speechless.

It wasn’t impossible for a life-or-death situation to awaken one’s potential.

However, for such a massive power-up, that probably wasn’t the only reason.

’Why is it so easy for Chen Yu to break through his innate ability? And why is it so hard for us?’

’Could he be a legendary prodigy?’

”That collapsed area should be the squid monster’s nest, right? Should we go take a look?”

Chen Yu spoke, breaking the silence.

The three of them snapped back to reality, their gazes turning to the collapsed factory building in the distance.

They all nodded, having reached a consensus, and quickly made their way to the collapsed factory.

After clearing some debris, the four of them looked down into the collapsed area below.

The collapsed area spanned a hundred meters and was very deep.

A strange, eerie red light emanated from within.

Faintly, they seemed to see metallic eggs.

The four of them exchanged a glance and immediately rushed into the collapsed area.

With a few nimble movements, the four of them soon reached the bottom.

It was an underground nest. Inside, there were numerous giant metallic eggs.

However, compared to the ones outside, the giant metallic eggs here seemed a bit smaller.

”It’s a pity these things are too big to carry, or I’d take one with me,”

Chen Yu said, looking at the metallic eggs.

He stepped forward and knocked on one with his hand, producing a metallic sound.

”How in the world are these things born?” Chen Yu was genuinely curious.

It was his first time encountering a metallic life form.

But that was a question none of them could answer.

A quick scan revealed that there were even more metallic eggs here—nearly a hundred of them.

”We have to clear these out. Otherwise, the consequences will be endless.”

Cai Kun said with a grim expression as he looked at the eggs at the bottom.

An Ran and Meng Li both nodded.

They had already experienced firsthand how formidable these semi-mechanical squid monsters were.

If these hundred-plus metallic eggs were allowed to hatch, the resulting swarm of over a hundred squid monsters would be an absolute disaster.

”Leave it to me. You guys go on up first,” Chen Yu said.

”Alright.” Cai Kun and the others had no objections. With a flash, they quickly exited the underground nest.

After they left, Chen Yu glanced over the hundred-plus metallic eggs.

’I wonder if I can get any Source of Life from these unhatched ones.’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind. He then gave a light wave of his hand, and an arctic blast erupted, freezing all hundred-plus metallic eggs solid.

He activated his Qi, and the frozen metallic eggs instantly shattered.

Chen Yu checked his Source of Life.

It had increased, but not by much. The hundred-plus eggs had only yielded a little over two hundred Source of Life points.

’A little is better than nothing...’

After scanning the underground nest one last time to make sure he hadn’t missed anything, Chen Yu leaped and vaulted out of it in just a few moves.

Once out of the nest, Chen Yu stomped his foot. The powerful tremor sent rubble pouring into the nest, burying it completely.

After clearing the area, the group left together.

Stepping out of the industrial park, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief.

If he hadn’t upgraded to advanced Freezing Breath, this time would have been perilous.

That semi-mechanical squid monster was truly formidable.

Even with their special abilities, it was an incredibly tough fight. An ordinary Martial Artist would have probably had no choice but to flee.

Summoning his interface, Chen Yu took a look.

Name: Chen Yu!

Talent: Infinite Physique (Tier Three 0/50,000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: Spirit Devouring (Advanced 0/20,000), Freezing Breath (Advanced 0/100,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend - Novice 0/10,000)

Source of Life: 6805

”One hundred thousand...”

Looking at the Freezing Breath Skill, Chen Yu felt a headache coming on.

’It’s another twenty-fold increase!’

’The higher you go, the harder it is to level up!’

One hundred thousand Source of Life points. He knew he couldn’t even think about getting that amount anytime soon.

But even though the required Source of Life had increased so much, the boost in power was worth it.

The Freezing Breath Skill was still his strongest offensive Skill to date!

’I’ll work hard and see if I can level up the Biological Force Field today.’

He was quite excited about upgrading a Golden Legendary Skill!

In terms of potential, his Biological Force Field was definitely number one right now.

A single Skill, yet it could be stacked multiple times.

The further he developed it, the greater its potential would become.

”WHOOSH—!”

”BANG—!”

A loud noise suddenly came from a distance. In the sky, a green firework bloomed!

It was extremely eye-catching!
