My Talent Skill Mutated

...even more powerful Mutant Beasts!

”I wonder how much I’d get for taking down a Level 7 Mutant Beast or Martial Artist...”

A thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

A Level 6 Mutant Beast was worth nearly a million. So a Level 7... several million? Or tens of millions?

Tens of millions might be a stretch, but several million was possible.

However, Mutant Beasts of that level were almost always the lords of a beast tide.

To kill one, you’d have to be lucky enough to even find one.

’My future goals need to change. The Abyssal Realm might be an opportunity.’

Chen Yu looked out the window, his eyes glinting.

His appetite was growing, so he had to shift his focus.

And the Abyssal Realm presented a great possibility.

After all, there wasn’t just one Abyssal Realm on the Ancestor Star.

There were hundreds, even thousands, and new ones were constantly emerging.

The Abyssal Realms were the perfect dungeons.

’I’ll see if tonight bears any fruit...’ Chen Yu thought. Then, he activated his wrist device. A virtual screen appeared, and after a quick map search, he confirmed the location of the Longjiang Villa district.

...

Time, like the restlessness of youth, passed in the blink of an eye.

Night fell, and the gentle moonlight illuminated the land of Jiang City.

At 11:00 PM, Chen Yu woke up when Sophie roused him.

Glancing at the time on his wrist device, Chen Yu looked out the window.

The lights in the Mercenary Building were out. Everything was quiet.

There were no pedestrians or vehicles on the streets, which were as deathly silent as the deep wilderness.

”Time to move.”

He sent a message to the group chat, and An Ran and Baili Qing quickly replied.

An Ran: ”Brother Yu, be careful! We’re ready to provide backup at any moment!”

Baili Qing: ”Don’t worry, Brother Yu. I’m ready.”

Xu Feng: ”Safety first. Nothing else is important!”

After glancing at the messages, Chen Yu turned his gaze to Sophie.

”Weapon form!”

Sophie nodded and swiftly transformed into a slender blade.

He grasped the long blade, opened the window, and looked out into the night sky as his Biological Force Field enveloped him.

SWOOSH—!

With a single step, he vanished from the room, disappearing into the night like a phantom.

...

「Jiang City, Longjiang Villa District.」

The area boasted beautiful scenery, located far from the city center on the edge of town.

There were mountains and water. Deep in the night, the Longjiang Villa district was still brightly lit.

Longjiang Villa, Villa 13. Chen Yu’s figure appeared in the courtyard.

His Biological Force Field masked his Life Fluctuations. Unless someone was face-to-face with him, it was impossible to sense his presence.

Even technological detection methods like radar and sonar couldn’t find him.

In a corner of the property, Chen Yu leaned against a wall, his gaze fixed on the large villa before him.

VMMMM—!

He activated his Force Field sense, and in an instant, it enveloped the entire villa.

Soon, feedback flooded his mind.

Five glowing orbs of Life Fluctuations: four humans and a dog.

’Something’s not right...’

Chen Yu’s brow furrowed. Analyzing the orbs of Life Fluctuations, the four people in the villa were just ordinary Second or Third-level Martial Artists.

’Is this really a Pantheon Sect stronghold?’

’Or did I come to the wrong place?’

’Longjiang 13. The location is correct. There must be more to this than meets the eye...’ Chen Yu thought, looking at the grand villa.

The information Baili Qing gave him couldn’t be wrong.

The location was right, but the people inside weren’t.

Although he didn’t know the exact number of people at the Longjiang Villa stronghold, Baili Qing had clearly learned from the bandit’s memories that there was someone here at least as powerful as the bandit’s own leader.

In other words, a Level 6 master.

But according to his senses, the villa only contained a few small-timers.

’A place like this... could it have a secret basement?’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind.

He had only scanned the villa above ground; he hadn’t checked underground.

But if anything was there, whether above or below ground, it couldn’t escape his Force Field sense.

He could clearly capture even the faintest trace of Life Fluctuations.

He activated his Force Field sense again, this time probing beneath the villa.

’There really is a secret basement...’

A glint flashed in Chen Yu’s eyes.

He continued to probe deeper.

’Did they build an underground palace beneath the villa?!’

As he continued to scan, Chen Yu probed deeper and deeper, his astonishment growing with every moment.

This secret basement was far larger than he had imagined.

It was no exaggeration to call it an underground palace.

Within his Force Field sense, the villa’s underground palace was enormous, like a castle.

Without his Biological Force Field sense, he probably never would have found it.

’This faction is loaded...’ Chen Yu mused, inwardly amazed as he continued his scan.

The Heterodox Sects had deep foundations.

For a single stronghold to be built so luxuriously, their resources were unimaginably vast.

’As I thought...’

Continuing his scan, he soon detected powerful Life Fluctuations from within the underground palace.

Five or six Life Fluctuations, almost all of them above the level of a Fourth-level Martial Artist. One of them was even a Level 5.

Chen Yu didn’t let his Force Field sense get any closer. Top-tier Martial Artists could detect even the slightest disturbance.

He couldn’t afford to act rashly until he found the big boss.

Fourth and Fifth-level Martial Artists? He could suppress them with a flip of his hand!

At his current level of strength, only Level 6 Martial Artists and above were worthy of his attention.

’Nine...’

Continuing his scan of the underground palace, he had now discovered nine powerful Life Fluctuations.

The feedback in his mind was crystal clear.

The Force Field sense was like an extension of his eyes, a bit like the Divine Sense from novels.

He could ’see’ everything clearly.

Nine Martial Artists, none of them below the Fourth Level.

And there were a total of six Fifth-level Martial Artists!

Still, Chen Yu didn’t alert the enemy and continued to scan.

Soon, deep within the palace, Chen Yu detected another powerful set of Life Fluctuations.

Six powerful Life Fluctuations.

Among them, two of the Life Fluctuations were exceptionally strong.
