My Talent Skill Mutated

"..."

Seeing Xu Dongfeng's expression, Chen Yu remained calm.

'A celebrity, huh!'

'It's only normal that he knows who I am.'

Chen Yu nodded slightly. "If there isn't anyone else with the same name, then it should be me."

"I've long heard of your renown, Lord Chen Yu. It's true what they say, seeing is believing. I've finally met you in the flesh today."

Xu Dongfeng's face was full of delight.

"..."

'What does he mean, "met me in the flesh"?'

'Was I dead before or something?'

Chen Yu's eye twitched as he looked at the man before him.

"Greetings, Lord Chen Yu!"

At that moment, the other three Martial Artists also came forward, speaking with respectful expressions.

"There's no need for such formalities. I'm not that particular," Chen Yu said lightly.

"Huh? Lord, what is that?"

Xu Dongfeng stared at the blood-stained pearl in Chen Yu's hand, and the others' gazes fell upon it as well.

'Why do I suddenly feel like I want to eat it?'

The same thought simultaneously popped into the minds of the few men as they stared at the blood-stained pearl.

The blood-stained pearl seemed to possess a magical allure.

It also seemed to contain a powerful aura of energy. But wasn't this something Chen Yu had just pulled out of a beast's stomach?!

'There are things like this inside beasts?'

'How come I've never heard of it?'

Various thoughts surfaced in their minds, and a strong sense of curiosity washed over them.

"It's nothing. Just some harmful little things," Chen Yu said lightly. As he spoke, he channeled his Power, and the few Soul Pearls were instantly crushed into dust.

'What a waste...'

The men sighed internally as they watched the pearls get crushed to dust.

"Harmful things? Lord, what are they?" Xu Dongfeng asked, looking at Chen Yu.

"Some things are better left unknown," Chen Yu said.

Hearing this, Xu Dongfeng immediately shut his mouth.

"This Wilderness Wolf, where did you run into it?"

Chen Yu asked the group.

"Not far. Just a few dozen kilometers ahead, in a castle within a ruined city," Xu Dongfeng replied.

"A castle..."

Chen Yu gazed into the distance, his Force Field sensing the area, and an image quickly formed in his mind.

It was a ruined city, and with his powerful Force Field ability, Chen Yu could sense the castle Xu Dongfeng had mentioned.

But strangely, he was unable to use his Force Field to probe the situation inside the castle.

It seemed some kind of invisible rule was suppressing his Force Field sense.

This situation immediately reminded Chen Yu of the rules in the other two Abyss Worlds.

It was just like that!

The only difference was that those other two Abyss Worlds were completely suppressed by the rules.

Here, however, only the castle in the ruined city was affected.

"Lord, is there anything you need us to do?" Xu Dongfeng asked Chen Yu.

"No, you can go about your business. I'll be leaving first." Chen Yu shook his head. After he spoke, a cyan electric light flashed, and he vanished without a trace.

Xu Dongfeng and his men were stunned for a moment as they watched Chen Yu disappear.

'So decisive. He just leaves whenever he wants...'

"Boss, he probably went to the ruined city. Should we go too?"

After a while, a young man spoke up, and they all looked at Xu Dongfeng.

Xu Dongfeng pondered for a moment, then nodded. "Yes. It's fine to follow and watch, but be careful not to interfere. Otherwise, if anything happens, you'll be responsible for the consequences."

"Understood."

The men nodded.

Then, with a flicker of movement, they quickly vanished into the wilderness.

...

The few dozen kilometers passed quickly.

A ruined city came into view.

Like the ruined cities in the other Abysses, there was nothing special about this place.

From the sky, Chen Yu overlooked the ruined city. Soon, he arrived at its eastern district, where an old European-style castle stood.

It was similar to the castle in the Ninth Abyss he had visited before, but this one was larger.

The other buildings in the city were all damaged and collapsed, yet this castle was almost perfectly intact.

It was merely overgrown with weeds, looking like it had been abandoned for a very long time.

Pausing in mid-air, Chen Yu looked at the old European-style castle and tried to probe it again with his Force Field sense.

"Still no good... Could it be that only some of the rules are like this?" Chen Yu's brows furrowed as he stared at the old European-style castle.

Everywhere else was fine; only this castle was being blocked.

After observing for a while, Chen Yu's figure descended. He looked at the castle, then walked inside.

'There's definitely something strange going on here.'

The Wilderness Wolf had appeared here, which meant this castle might contain more Soul Pearls, or perhaps other monsters that had already consumed them.

Soul Pearls—terrifying things that stimulated dark desires. If he encountered them, he had to destroy them.

Beasts that swallowed Soul Pearls would become even more frenzied and bloodthirsty.

They also had to be dealt with.

Things like this could not be left to exist!

Upon entering the castle, he found its interior already overgrown with weeds more than a meter tall.

The walls were covered in creeping vines.

Compared to the castle in the Ninth Abyss, this place was even more of a mess.

As he stepped into the castle, Chen Yu immediately felt a gloomy, chilling aura.

His gaze swept around. The castle was exceptionally quiet.

But the quiet only made him more vigilant.

He came to an abandoned building within the castle. Its interior was completely taken over by creeping vines and weeds.

The gloomy, chilling feeling grew even stronger.

"HEH HEH HEH... What delectable qi and blood!"

A sinister laugh suddenly echoed from within the abandoned building.

A purple phantom emerged from the darkness.

"Hm? It's that black shadow!"

Chen Yu's pupils contracted as he watched the purple phantom appear.

This purple phantom was exactly the same as the black shadow inside the crystal of the Crystal Tower in the Tenth Abyss world.

Their auras were identical!

"Offer up your flesh and blood and become my puppet!"

The purple phantom laughed maniacally and lunged at Chen Yu as it spoke.

Chen Yu didn't dodge or evade, and the purple phantom entered his body.

"AHHH!!!"

The next second, a blood-curdling scream rang out.

The Spirit Flame ignited, and in an instant, the purple phantom was burned to nothing.

Chen Yu's Spirit Flame grew a little stronger.

"It seems there are quite a few of these things here..."

Chen Yu's eyes brightened as he looked at the abandoned castle building.

These things were a fast way to enhance his Spiritual Power. His Spirit Flame was already several times stronger than before.

With enough Spiritual Power, he could easily use some of his Skills.
