My Talent Skill Mutated

Xu Feng watched the middle-aged man who had phased through the door, his expression grave. The Qi Light Group in his hand continued to compress, releasing a dangerous aura.

The middle-aged man looked at Xu Feng, his expression calm. ”You’re Xu Feng, right? Don’t worry, I’m not a bad guy.”

But upon hearing this, Xu Feng didn’t stop condensing the Qi Light Group. His eyes remained fixed on the man.

’Coming here in the middle of the night and telling me he’s not a bad guy? Does he think I’m a three-year-old?’

”Sigh. Not an ounce of trust.” The middle-aged man sighed, then took out a silver Token. ”Take a look at this Token and you’ll understand.”

After speaking, he tossed the silver Token directly to Xu Feng.

SMACK!

Xu Feng raised a hand, firmly catching the silver Token.

He glanced at the Token. On its silver surface, a word caught his eye.

Dongfang!

The other side bore a profound, intricate pattern.

When he saw the word ”Dongfang” on the silver Token, Xu Feng’s pupils contracted. He looked up at the middle-aged man.

”You’re from the Dongfang family?!”

The middle-aged man’s face was calm. ”I’ve already shown you the Token. What, you still don’t believe me?”

Hearing this, a hint of embarrassment appeared on Xu Feng’s face. The Qi Light Group in his palm dissipated, and he handed the Token back to the man.

”I have come under orders,”

the middle-aged man said, looking at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng: ”?”

Xu Feng stared at the middle-aged man, stunned.

”Someone is targeting three of the students,” the middle-aged man said.

Hearing this, Xu Feng subconsciously glanced toward a distant, abandoned building.

’Chen Yu and the others are in danger?!’

The thought flashed through his mind, and Xu Feng’s expression instantly became incredibly grave. His nerves tensed in an instant.

”Relax. They haven’t made a move yet,” the middle-aged man said coolly, seeing Xu Feng’s tense expression.

Hearing this, Xu Feng’s taut nerves relaxed slightly, but he remained on high alert.

’For the Dongfang family to dispatch someone, the people targeting Chen Yu must be extraordinary.’

”Who is targeting them?” Xu Feng asked the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man glanced at the distant abandoned building. ”It’s probably the Divine Authority Council, or perhaps the Pantheon Sect. However, it’s more likely the Divine Authority Council, since their people have already made a move once before.”

”The Divine Authority Council, the Pantheon Sect!”

Hearing these words, Xu Feng’s mind reeled.

He looked at the middle-aged man, his expression grave. ”Should we have them return to the academy now?”

The middle-aged man shook his head. ”There’s no need to let them know. This is a form of training. It’s enough for you and I to watch over them in secret.”

Xu Feng lowered his head, his expression unsightly.

’The Divine Authority Council, the Pantheon Sect...’

These two Heterodox Sects were so powerful that even someone with his strength was nothing special before them.

A Heterodox Sect that could run rampant across multiple worlds... their power and resources were terrifying beyond measure.

However, the thought that someone from the Dongfang family was present helped him calm down a bit.

With the Dongfang family’s support, he wouldn’t have to worry too much about these two Heterodox Sects.

After all, he was well aware of how deep the Dongfang family’s resources ran.

A super-conglomerate, one of the nine great financial groups.

It could be said they were in no way inferior to those two Heterodox Sects.

But the thought of the Pantheon Sect and the Divine Authority Council’s influence still gave him a headache.

Being targeted by these two heterodox powers was definitely not a good thing.

Right now, all he could do was take it one step at a time.

If things got really bad, he could contact the academy for support. And with help from the person sent by the Dongfang family, there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Xu Feng looked up at the middle-aged man and nodded.

’The Heterodox Sect hasn’t shown itself yet, so even if we know they’re here, it’s hard to make a move. By staying hidden, we have the element of surprise.’

’Even if I’m out in the open, having an expert from the Dongfang family by my side is a trump card.’

”Don’t be so tense. Those two organizations are nothing more than insects crawling in the dark. Once they show themselves, they’re no longer a problem,” the middle-aged man said calmly, sitting on the sofa and looking at Xu Feng.

Xu Feng: ”...”

’Insects crawling in the dark...’

’Isn’t that metaphor a little too contemptuous...?’

’But considering the Dongfang family’s resources... alright, they do have the power to back up such words.’

—

The morning sun rose into the sky.

Dawn pierced the darkness, and the silent Crane City was once again bathed in light.

In Crane City, inside an abandoned building, Chen Yu’s trio also left the office.

After a peaceful night’s rest, the group was full of energy.

Stepping out of the building, the three of them headed off into the distance.

Before long, the trio arrived at a hospital. Its outer walls were destroyed, with bricks and rubble scattered everywhere.

Entering the abandoned hospital, all three were on high alert.

Using his Biological Force Field perception, Chen Yu could sense powerful Life Fluctuations within the abandoned hospital.

The three advanced in a triangular formation, with Chen Yu in the lead, and An Ran and Baili Qing covering the rear flanks.

”ROAR—!”

A roar exploded from the depths of the hospital as a behemoth suddenly burst out of a large, gaping hole.

An exotic beast!

It was shaped like a crocodile, but it was countless times larger than a normal one.

Its body was covered in hard armor. At dozens of meters long and four to five meters tall, its sheer presence was overwhelmingly oppressive.

Its tail was different from a normal crocodile’s; the tip formed a ball the size of a basketball, covered in several long, sharp spikes.

This was a level-four exotic beast, a Terror Crocodile!

A monster whose Defense Power was off the charts; it could even survive a direct hit from a missile.

Its defensive capabilities were even superior to some level-five exotic beasts.
