My Talent Skill Mutated

"You... How are you here?"

The hooded man stared at him, his face a mask of disbelief.

"The view here is nice. I came out to see the night scenery. Is there a problem?"

"..."

’See the night scenery...’

’What kind of decent person comes here to see the night scenery this late?’

"Don’t... don’t kill me! I can work for you." Without a second thought, the hooded man immediately began to beg for his life.

Chen Yu looked at him, his gaze icy. "You want to live?"

The hooded man nodded frantically.

"Tell me your purpose. What are you doing here?" Chen Yu stared at him.

"N-Nothing... We were just taking a look," the hooded man replied.

"I don’t think I heard you right. Say it again?" Chen Yu looked down at him condescendingly, increasing the pressure of the foot on his chest as he spoke.

"We were here to rendezvous with the Pantheon Sect!" The hooded man blurted out, feeling the crushing weight and excruciating pain in his chest.

"Oh? Rendezvous with the Pantheon Sect?" Chen Yu looked at him.

The hooded man immediately said, "That’s right, I’m telling the truth."

"Where is your stronghold in the city?" Chen Yu asked the hooded man.

"It’s... It’s in the Jingzhou East Suburb, number eighteen Longteng Villa," the hooded man answered immediately.

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Are there any other locations?"

"No more. All the other places had problems. This is the only one left."

"Thanks."

Chen Yu gave a slight smile. The moment the word left his mouth—CRACK!—a terrifying force erupted. His foot crushed the man’s bones and ruptured his heart.

"You..." The hooded man’s eyes widened, staring at Chen Yu with utter indignation.

"Did I say I’d spare you?" Chen Yu’s face was calm.

"Pfft..." He spat out a mouthful of blood and his eyes closed for the last time.

’My lord is dead...’

Seeing the hooded man die, the remaining man in black was shaken to his core.

However, before he could react, Chen Yu’s figure instantly appeared before him.

A long, sharp blade was pressed against his neck. Its keen edge emanated a palpable aura, causing waves of pain.

The fear of death instantly enveloped him. Sweat poured down his forehead like rain.

"Kill me! The organization will never let you go!" Forcibly suppressing the fear in his heart, the man in black stared directly at Chen Yu.

"I don’t like being threatened. If you want an easier death, answer my questions."

Chen Yu looked at the man in black, his expression indifferent.

"In your dreams! Kill me if you have the guts!" the man in black glared.

’I’m dead either way, so what’s the point of talking?!’

"SCHLICK!"

The moment he spoke, a finger flew through the air, splattering blood.

"AHH!!"

The bone-deep pain of a severed finger elicited a blood-curdling scream.

Holding his Tang blade, Chen Yu rested its tip on the man’s face. "My patience is limited!"

"You bastard! I’ll take you down with me!"

The man in black roared in fury, unleashing his Superpower at full strength. A dazzling red light enveloped him.

"PSHHHT—!"

But the next second, a head flew into the air, and blood gushed out like a fountain. The man in black collapsed to the ground, his body and head separated.

His eyes were wide open, filled with intense unwillingness to die!

Three corpses now lay on the ground, the stench of blood filling the dark.

"VMMMM—!"

Chen Yu raised a hand, activating his Life Force Field. The three corpses trembled as vast amounts of light gathered in his palm.

In the span of a dozen breaths, the three corpses on the ground had withered into desiccated husks.

In Chen Yu’s palm, a mass of light as large as a watermelon had condensed.

A terrifying amount of Life Force emanated from it.

Two Level 8s and one Level 7!

He could also strip Life Force from a freshly killed corpse, but he could only gather ninety percent of what they had while alive.

But even ninety percent was countless times more Life Force than he had stripped from beasts before.

Looking at this massive, watermelon-sized Essence of Life, Chen Yu willed it, and the Life Light Group in his palm vanished, merging into his body.

Through his Life Force Field, he could directly store the stripped Life Force within his body. However, he still had to absorb it. If he stored too much and lost even a little control, the stored Life Force would lash back at him.

In a severe case, he could even explode and die.

Devouring the Life Light Group, Chen Yu activated his Life Force Field at full power to absorb the Life Force.

"HISS—!"

’Whoa, I’m stuffed!’

The instant it merged with him, Chen Yu felt a sense of "fullness" that permeated his entire body!

It was as if he had swallowed several days’ worth of meals in one go.

The vast Life Force spread out, getting absorbed by him little by little.

Enduring this intense "fullness," the process of absorption was not pleasant like before; instead, it was rather uncomfortable.

But once he started absorbing, he couldn’t stop. Otherwise, it would be like having a bomb inside his body, ready to detonate at any moment.

...

The night wind blew.

On the mountaintop, Chen Yu sat motionless on a rock. A faint layer of light shimmered around him.

A majestic life aura emanated from within his body.

"*Huuu...*

"Finally... I’ve finished absorbing it all!" Exhaling, Chen Yu felt an unprecedented sense of relief.

It had taken a full hour to completely absorb the stripped Life Force.

It was a bit more difficult than he had anticipated.

Absorbing two Level 8s and one Level 7 in one go... The Level 8 Alien Race members, in particular, provided an immense amount of Life Force.

After absorbing it all, not only had he fully recovered his depleted Spirit, Essence, and Qi, but he was now even stronger than he was at his peak.

With his Spirit, Essence, and Qi fortified, he felt better than ever before.

With his abundant Life Force, the duration of his Skill bursts would be even longer.

With his increased Life Force, he could fuse with the Life Force of others even faster.

It was a self-reinforcing process.

The more he absorbed, the faster he grew.

And the faster he improved!

It was a virtuous cycle. With a powerful Life Force, he could also unleash the greater might of his Life Force Field.
