My Talent Skill Mutated

’Why does that sound a little strange?’

’Is this guy hoping for an accident?’

”That should be all for now, I think.”

Dongfang’s Third Uncle said.

”So many anomalous beasts... could they have come from the Anomaly Realm near Qing City?” Chen Yu asked, scanning the distance.

”Most likely. But with so many of them wiped out, the Anomaly Realm they came from must have all but emptied itself out,” Dongfang’s Third Uncle said.

Chen Yu nodded.

’A million anomalous beasts... If they all came from an Anomaly Realm, there probably isn’t much left inside.’

”By the way, where did these members of the Holy Spirit Race come from?” Chen Yu asked, looking at Dongfang’s Third Uncle.

Dongfang’s Third Uncle shook his head. ”It’s still unclear. It will take some time to investigate.”

”Alright then, I’ll be going,” Chen Yu said. After speaking, he vanished from before the three men.

Watching Chen Yu disappear and then looking at the corpses of the Holy Spirit Race members on the ground, one of the Ninth-level Martial Artists sighed.

”That guy... he’s a real monster. He finished everything just as we arrived.”

”I’m afraid he might be even more formidable than Dongfang Yi. I wonder who’s stronger between the two of them now.”

The other Ninth-level Martial Artist remarked with a sigh.

Hearing this, Dongfang’s Third Uncle glanced at him.

”You like to watch the drama unfold?”

”...”

”Don’t get me wrong, we’re just curious,” the two Ninth-level Martial Artists said with ingratiating smiles as they looked at Dongfang’s Third Uncle.

”Alright, send out the notice. These corpses need to be disposed of as soon as possible, or they’ll cause an outbreak of disease.”

Dongfang’s Third Uncle ordered. The two men nodded. Then, with a wave of his hand, Dongfang’s Third Uncle unleashed a burst of Qi that wrapped around the corpses of the Holy Spirit Race. He soared into the sky and vanished into the distance. The other two exchanged a look before taking to the air and disappearing as well.

...

「In downtown Qing City」

When the sounds of the anomalous beasts finally faded, everyone breathed a collective sigh of relief.

Once their taut nerves relaxed, it felt as if all their strength had drained away.

At that moment, that was exactly how Li Qing and Duan Feng felt.

A beast tide a million strong... only those who had experienced it could know true despair.

Thankfully, it was all over now.

”Are you two okay?”

Just as the two were lying on the ground catching their breath, a voice reached their ears.

Hearing the voice, Li Qing and Duan Feng, who were on the ground, instantly perked up and scrambled to their feet.

They looked up to see a figure in a black trench coat with a hood pulled over his head.

Under the hood was a familiar face.

”Chen Yu!”

Their spirits lifted, and they immediately rushed over to him.

”Here are some recovery pills. Take them, it’ll help you recuperate,” Chen Yu said, taking out a bottle and handing it to them.

”This... Chen Yu, you were the one who stopped the beast tide. We didn’t really contribute. You should keep these. We’ll recover on our own soon enough,” Li Qing said to Chen Yu.

”What’s wrong, Captain? Are my pills not good enough for you?” Chen Yu said, putting on a stern look.

”...”

”In that case, I won’t be polite.” Li Qing didn’t stand on ceremony any longer and accepted them on the spot.

Then, Chen Yu took out another bag and handed it to them.

”There are a hundred Level 2 Spirit Pearls here. Take them and focus on improving.”

Li Qing was about to refuse, but when he saw the look on Chen Yu’s face, he had no choice but to accept.

”Chen Yu, it’s been so long. Where have you been?” Duan Feng asked.

”Nowhere special. I’ve just been training,” Chen Yu replied.

”You’ll be heading to the Stellar Battlefield soon, right?” Li Qing asked suddenly.

Chen Yu nodded. ”Yeah, pretty soon.”

”I wish you a safe journey. We’ll be waiting for your good news,” Li Qing said to him.

Chen Yu smiled. ”Don’t worry, Captain. You’ll get it.”

”Huh? It’s him!”

”It’s the hero!”

...

Just as Chen Yu was about to chat a little more, voices suddenly arose from not far away, and a large crowd quickly began to surround him.

Seeing this, Chen Yu looked at his two friends and said, ”We’ll meet again. I’m taking off.”

”Okay.” The two of them nodded. In the next instant, Chen Yu’s figure blurred, transforming into a streak of light before disappearing.
