My Talent Skill Mutated

With a lead of over a hundred thousand points, how could anyone else possibly catch up?

A few tens of thousands might have been contestable, but a gap of over one hundred thousand was impossible to close.

Even if Chen Yu did nothing from this point on, the others couldn’t possibly catch up.

Unless they also managed to kill a Level 7 Mutant Beast.

But the chances of that were practically nonexistent.

Are there even Level 7 Mutant Beasts in the Lola Mountain Abyssal Realm?

There definitely are. But forget about finding one; even if they ran into it, they couldn’t possibly defeat it.

They were all perfectly aware of their own students’ capabilities.

A small gap wouldn’t have been a problem, but overcoming a gap this large was certainly impossible.

”First place!”

”It looks like we’ve taken it back this year!” Director Xu watched the large screen, his heart thumping with excitement.

It’s here!

It’s finally here!

This time, they had truly vindicated themselves.

Excellent.

Having Chen Yu participate in the competition was an absolutely brilliant decision.

”Alas, I wonder if he’s injured. The points are secondary, really.”

Director Xu sighed with emotion.

Everyone in the office turned to look at him.

Their gazes were filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment!

The representatives of the three opposing regions fell silent. This time, even if their regions joined forces, they couldn’t possibly take first place.

Faced with such a monster, they could only concede defeat.

To be able to kill a Level 7 Mutant Beast... his strength was in a completely different league. Forget the students from the three opposing regions; even if you added the students from Shanghai and the Capital City, they still couldn’t beat him.

”What kind of bullshit luck is this... When will our academy produce someone like him...”

Staring at the large screen, the representatives from the Capital City Academy and Shanghai Academy were filled with envy.

At the same time, they felt a sliver of relief. At least this Chen Yu was from their own East Asian Region.

If he had been from one of the opposing regions, they were afraid they’d never be able to hold their heads high again.

With such terrifying strength now, it probably wouldn’t be long before he surpassed even Dongfang Yi.

...

”Jack, are we... still going to fight for first place?” a student asked quietly out in the wilds.

Jack: ”...”

’Still fight for first place?’

’Fight for shit!’

Jack’s expression darkened. After a good while, he finally spoke. ”Hmph. I’ll concede that this Chen Yu is formidable. But we absolutely cannot give up second and third place.”

”...”

’What do you mean you’ll *concede* he’s formidable?’

’He just *is* formidable!’

”Did you hear me?!”

Jack roared.

The other students nodded.

There was no need to fight for first place anymore, but second and third were certainly attainable.

”Let’s go. No more wasting time.”

Jack said, then headed deeper into the wilds.

In a primeval forest within the Lola Mountain Anomaly, three figures converged.

”Over one hundred thirty thousand... It looks like first place belongs to our East Asian Region this time.”

Zhuge Qingfeng remarked with a sigh.

Maya shot him a glance. ”Why so happy? It’s not like you’re the one in first place.”

Zhuge Qingfeng smiled. ”I’m self-aware. As long as one of the opposing regions doesn’t win, I have no objections to whoever takes the top spot.”

”Maya, if you’re not convinced, you can go and compete with Chen Yu for the top spot.”

Maya: ”...”

”Hmph, my ability is only A-rank. If it were S-rank, who knows who would be in first,” Maya said, making an excuse for herself.

”Who are you taking a shot at?” Dongfang Ji’s face darkened as he glared at Maya.

”Ahem... Brother Dongfang, come on. We’re all on the same team, let’s not fight amongst ourselves,” Zhuge Qingfeng said with a cough.

”Fine, I’m off. I can’t fight for first, but I can’t let a top-three spot slip away,” Maya said. With that, her figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.

”Brother Dongfang, let’s get moving, too. It would be great if the top three spots all went to our side, hehe.”

Zhuge Qingfeng said with a chuckle.

”Second place is mine.” A sharp glint flashed in Dongfang Ji’s eyes as he headed off in another direction.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qingfeng also made his move, disappearing into the primeval forest.

The night was tranquil, like still water.

In the Lola Mountain Anomaly, gentle moonlight bathed the earth.

Halfway up a large mountain, Chen Yu sat cross-legged, using his Celestial Destiny Skill to continuously restore his Qi.

A few hours passed. He had recovered a significant amount of his Qi—about seventy percent.

Much of his expended stamina had returned, and the injuries he had sustained were also healing thanks to his formidable constitution.

”Hooo...”

Letting out a soft breath, Chen Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The exertion this time had been immense.

But it was much better than when he had to use God’s Will; at least he remained conscious.

Feeling the power returning to his body, Chen Yu’s focus returned, and he called up his interface to check the Source of Life he had acquired.

He had gained about fifteen million Source of Life, bringing his current total to a full sixteen million-plus points.

’Which one should I upgrade...’

Looking at the Skills on his interface, Chen Yu fell into contemplation.

At present, with his current Source of Life, there were three Skills he could upgrade.

World of Ice, Divine Speed Power, and Destructive Celestial Light!

Of the three abilities, Destructive Celestial Light required nearly five million Source of Life to upgrade, while World of Ice needed close to ten million points.

The Divine Speed Power needed fifteen million points!

’I should just upgrade the Divine Speed Power. It’s already at the Perfection Level. One more upgrade should awaken it.’

After a moment’s thought, Chen Yu made his decision.

Upgrade the Divine Speed Power!

’Speed saves lives!’

Once the Divine Speed Power was upgraded, the increase in his speed would be far more than just a simple doubling.

With that thought, Chen Yu immediately chose to upgrade his Divine Speed Power.

”OMMM—!”

A tremor ran through his body. Within the Chaos, the orb of light representing the Divine Speed Power erupted with a brilliant glow.

A dozen seconds later, everything returned to tranquility.

Within the Chaos, the orb of light for the Divine Speed Power now shone more than ten times brighter than before.

”Hm?”

’It still hasn’t reached its limit?’

Seeing no notification prompt, Chen Yu was taken aback.

After Perfection Level, it should have been maxed out.

That’s how it was for Spirit Devour and Frost Breath. Could it be that the Divine Speed Power could be continuously upgraded?

With a thought, Chen Yu called up his interface to check.
