My Talent Skill Mutated

But based on the power he displayed, Zhuang Bo had a guess, though he still couldn’t be sure.

’...Hero of the South Sea...’ Chen Yu cringed inwardly.

He looked at Zhuang Bo and said, "A name is just a label. It’s not important."

’Looks like it’s probably him...’ The thought flashed through Zhuang Bo’s mind upon hearing this.

Immediately, he looked at Chen Yu and bowed respectfully. "Zhuang Bo, Level 1 member of the Superpower Alliance. It’s an honor to meet you, Sir Chen Yu."

"You’re a member of the Superpower Alliance too?" Chen Yu looked at him, surprised.

’Is the world this small? I can just run into a random person and he’s one of us?’

Zhuang Bo took out a badge and looked at Chen Yu. "Sir, this is my Alliance identification badge."

"So it is..."

A single glance at the Alliance badge was all Chen Yu needed to be sure.

This Zhuang Bo was a genuine member of the Alliance. The golden badge proved he belonged to the Alliance’s Eastern Faction.

"I’ve heard many stories about you, Sir. I never thought I’d run into you here today. Thanks to your intervention, I might have met my end here otherwise," Zhuang Bo said with a smile.

Hearing this flattery, Chen Yu actually felt quite pleased.

’This guy’s a smooth talker!’

"We’re on the same side. There’s no need to be so formal," Chen Yu said, his expression impassive.

"Sir, did you come here alone as well?" Zhuang Bo looked at him.

Chen Yu nodded.

"Yeah, I came to take a look."

"I was planning to go to the Ninth Abyss, but it was sealed off yesterday, so I had to come here instead," Zhuang Bo said.

"Where did you run into those specters?" Chen Yu asked Zhuang Bo.

"I encountered them in a pyramid up ahead. Luckily, I’m a fast runner, or I might have been trapped," Zhuang Bo answered.

’A pyramid...’

’Could this Abyss World be connected to the Ninth Abyss?!’

Hearing Zhuang Bo’s words, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

The Ninth Abyss has pyramids, too!

And the Tenth Abyss also has a pyramid!

What was even more of a coincidence was that both locations were in the South Sea, and not far from each other.

’Are they connected... or are they fundamentally the same world?’

"Sir, I think there’s also a terrifying monster inside that pyramid," Zhuang Bo said to Chen Yu, his expression grave.

"Oh?"

"A monster!"

"What’s its power level?" Chen Yu asked Zhuang Bo, a hint of excitement showing on his face.

’Why does he look so happy about this?’

Seeing the excitement on Chen Yu’s face, Zhuang Bo felt a little strange.

But he didn’t dwell on it and continued, "It’s around Level 8, maybe even stronger. The monster seems to be imprisoned, though. It didn’t rush out. Otherwise, I probably wouldn’t have made it here."

"What does the monster look like?" Chen Yu asked Zhuang Bo.

"I didn’t get a good look. I ran into countless specters as soon as I entered and only sensed the monster’s aura. It was too rushed; I couldn’t see it clearly," Zhuang Bo replied.

"I see..."

Chen Yu nodded lightly. Zhuang Bo looked at him and asked, "Sir, are you planning to go there?"

Chen Yu looked at him and nodded. "Yes, I might as well check it out. If I can take care of it, I will. Better to deal with it now than let it become a disaster later."

Hearing this, Zhuang Bo was filled with awe. "Sir, your sense of justice is unparalleled! You are truly worthy of being called a hero!"

Chen Yu: "..."

’Justice... a hero? You’re overthinking it. I just want to kill it and earn some Source of Life.’

"Sir, let me lead the way. I can provide support," Zhuang Bo said, looking at him.

"Alright. Just point the way, and I’ll take you there," Chen Yu said.

Zhuang Bo nodded, then pointed in a direction. "It’s that way."

Chen Yu glanced over, and his Biological Force Field surged, enveloping Zhuang Bo as they shot into the sky and vanished.

Feeling the immense power surrounding him, Zhuang Bo was inwardly shocked.

’If he used this against me, I probably wouldn’t even have a chance to fight back.’

’Good thing he’s on our side!’

The Abyss. A wasteland. On the vast, white earth, a giant pyramid stood amidst a fog-shrouded wilderness.

Chen Yu’s figure descended from the sky, his eyes on the enormous pyramid before him.

A thousand-meter-tall pyramid, shrouded in dense fog.

Its layers were stacked one on top of the other, reaching into the clouds!

"Sir, this is the place." At his side, Zhuang Bo spoke up, pointing nearby. "The entrance is over there, but you need to be careful, Sir. There might still be specters inside."

Chen Yu followed his gaze to a tall opening.

It was the entrance to the pyramid.

"You wait out here. I’m going in to take a look," Chen Yu said.

Zhuang Bo looked at him with some concern. "Sir, perhaps I should go in with you."

Chen Yu shook his head. "No need. Just wait out here. It’s safer."

Hearing this, Zhuang Bo didn’t argue. He just nodded. "Then please be careful. I’ll be waiting out here."

Chen Yu took a step and quickly entered the pyramid.

Watching Chen Yu enter the pyramid, Zhuang Bo scanned his surroundings, his Qi flaring as he kept his Superpower ready to be unleashed at a moment’s notice.

"A human! You dare to come here!"

"Tsk tsk, his life force is so strong. He must be delicious!"

"Kekeke... Brothers, let’s get him! Devour this human completely."

The moment he stepped into the pyramid’s passage, purple specters swarmed from the darkness, one after another, like cats that had smelled fish.

VMMMM—!

With a single thought, a necrotic flame erupted around him. The charging purple specters melted away instantly, like snow in the summer sun.

"No! This one’s tough! Retreat!"

One specter shouted, immediately pulling back.

"So you do know fear?"

Chen Yu was surprised, but he had no intention of letting these specters just run away.
