My Talent Skill Mutated

”This is insane!” The young man’s expression was one of shock.

A Third-level Martial Artist, even one with a powerful innate ability, trying to bridge such a massive gap... that’s something almost impossible even for an S-rank ability.

If he remembered correctly, this Chen Yu had only been enrolled for a month.

In such a short time, it would be impossible to develop one’s innate ability to any astonishing degree, even with the help of the Celestial Destiny Skill.

But now, the situation seemed a little different.

Even he couldn’t make such a leap across levels.

”Looks like the academy really struck gold this time,” the young man remarked.

The old man nodded. ”You’re right. He’s indeed very impressive. In the future, he might even have a better chance of becoming a True God than you.”

Hearing this, the young man smiled. ”It doesn’t matter. I don’t care about that stuff. If that kid grows into his power, he’ll be a member of the Superpower Alliance all the same.”

A gratified smile appeared on the old man’s face. ”It’s good that you can think that way.”

The young man rolled his eyes. ”Am I that narrow-minded?”

The old man laughed, then his expression turned serious as he looked at him. ”But there are some problems now. The Divine Authority Council and the Pantheon Sect have their eyes on him, too. If they found out about the true extent of his talent, they would probably stop at nothing to deal with him.”

”Are you asking me to step in?” the young man asked, looking at him.

The old man shook his head. ”Just focus on your own business. You don’t need to worry about him.”

”However, you should still keep an eye out, just in case.”

The young man lowered his head and was silent for a moment. He looked at the old man and nodded.

”I know what to do.”

The old man glanced at him without saying more. The youth then left the study, and the old man sat back in his chair, closing his eyes.

...

In a daze, Chen Yu opened his eyes.

A profound sense of weakness washed over his body.

”Hiss...”

Chen Yu couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. It felt as if all the strength had been drained from his body.

He turned his head and looked around. He was lying on a bed in a decent-sized room, but there was a faint medicinal smell in the air.

’A hospital room?’

”Where am I?” Chen Yu was startled.

He only remembered encountering a pack of Tier Five Terror Crocodiles with An Ran and the others, and then unleashing his Divine Will Skill. He was fuzzy on what happened after that.

As for where he was now, he had no idea. But it seemed he was safe for the moment.

’The side effects are pretty serious...’

Feeling the weakness in his body, Chen Yu felt like he was back when he first transmigrated.

This was the first time he had felt so weak since he’d arrived in this world.

His body felt completely hollowed out, drained to the very last drop.

CLICK~

Just then, the door suddenly opened, and a buxom nurse walked in.

Chen Yu turned his head to look. Seeing the woman in the nurse’s uniform, he was certain he was in a hospital room.

”Oh, you’re awake!”

The nurse walked over to Chen Yu, a surprised look on her face.

”How long was I out?” Chen Yu asked.

”You were unconscious for five days,” the nurse replied.

”Five days...”

’Looks like the price wasn’t small!’

Hearing her answer, Chen Yu sighed inwardly.

Unconscious for five days. The side effects of Divine Will were far greater than he had imagined.

A one-thousand-percent increase to all stats granted Extraordinary combat power, but the cost was also severe.

If he had been alone in the wilderness, he likely would have been devoured by some beast.

”How are you feeling?” the nurse asked Chen Yu.

”A little hungry,” Chen Yu replied.

The nurse nodded. ”Please wait a moment. I’ll go get you something to eat. You’ve just woken up and your body is weak, so don’t try to move around.”

Chen Yu nodded. Watching the nurse leave, he closed his eyes to sense the state of his body.

His vitality was a complete mess, less than one percent of its peak.

His Qi reserves were also massively depleted, with only a tiny amount remaining. The vortex in his Dantian was almost completely dry.

If his body hadn’t been strong enough, even that last little bit would have probably been wrung dry.

After checking his body, a thought crossed Chen Yu’s mind. He activated his Spirit Devouring Skill to quickly replenish the Qi in his body.

Having reached the Perfection Level, his Spirit Devouring Skill restored his Qi with incredible speed, and it was quickly replenished.

A thread of strength returned to his weakened body.

However, his vitality was severely depleted, and recovering it quickly wouldn’t be so easy.

With his Qi restored, a trace of color returned to Chen Yu’s pale face.

Even his eyes seemed a little brighter.

’I wonder how much Source of Life I gained.’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind. Even though he wasn’t sure what happened after he unleashed Divine Will, he must have gained something from it.

Before he passed out, he had already accumulated over ninety thousand Source of Life. Breaking one hundred thousand shouldn’t have been a problem.

’With a one-thousand-percent increase to all stats, I should have been able to kill at least one Tier Five Terror Crocodile, right?’

Thinking of this, Chen Yu immediately called up his interface to check.

Name: Chen Yu

Talent: Limitless Physique (Tier Four 0/500,000) [Unique Talent]

Skills: Spirit Devouring (Perfection 510/200,000), Frost Breath (Advanced 53/100,000), Biological Force Field (Golden Legend Intermediate 5/100,000), Divine Will (Golden Legend Intermediate 0/200,000)

Source of Life: 3,354,150

”Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands... Three million, three hundred and fifty thousand?!!”

Staring at the Source of Life on the interface, Chen Yu was stunned.

’Three million, three hundred fifty-four thousand and change?’

Chen Yu couldn’t quite believe it. ’Am I sure I didn’t miscount a digit?’

Looking at the Source of Life, Chen Yu counted again. He could confirm it. There was no mistake. It was exactly three million, three hundred fifty-four thousand, one hundred and fifty points.
