My Talent Skill Mutated

...

The next day, Chen Yu was discharged from the hospital.

He had already recovered, so there was naturally no need for him to stay.

After all, what kind of sane person enjoys hanging out in a hospital for no reason...

...

Jingzhou. Chen Yu appeared at the gates of the Superpower Academy.

With the opening ceremony just one day away, basically all the students had returned to campus.

Walking into the academy, Chen Yu breathed in the crisp air, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

This vacation had been, to put it mildly, a roller coaster of twists and turns!

The assessment mission, the trip to the South Sea.

The gains he made in the South Sea, in particular, were far greater than Chen Yu had ever imagined.

His strength had seen an explosive increase.

Although his cultivation realm was still Level 6, his actual combat strength had already touched the ceiling of this world.

Walking along a tree-lined path in the academy, Chen Yu headed toward the Dean's office building while admiring the surrounding scenery.

Having returned to the academy, he naturally had to report to the Dean.

After all, the Dean was also responsible for his assessment.

There was also the matter of the Astral Realm.

"Brother Yu!"

Just as Chen Yu was strolling along, a voice called out. He stopped and turned to look.

Two lovely figures appeared before his eyes.

In just a few steps, they were standing in front of him.

It was none other than An Ran and Meng Li.

"Hm? You're Level 6?"

"You've improved pretty fast!"

Chen Yu was inwardly surprised as he sensed their cultivation levels.

An Ran's cultivation had already reached the same level as his.

She had even surpassed him, almost reaching Level 6 Peak!

She was a Sixth-level Martial Artist now, too. And while Meng Li wasn't as far along as An Ran, she had reached the peak of Level 5.

As they stood before him, both of them fixed their gazes on him.

A complex look flickered in Meng Li's eyes.

She had known about the South Sea incident for a while.

Chen Yu had single-handedly quelled the beast tide in the South Sea and even killed a special, peak Level 8 aberrant beast that was rumored to have power comparable to a Level 9.

Thinking back to when they first met, she felt like this was all a dream.

Chen Yu's progress was simply outrageous!

'Even someone using cheats couldn't do better than this, right?'

"Brother Yu, how are you feeling? You were still unconscious when I went to see you," An Ran said, looking Chen Yu up and down.

"I'm fine now," Chen Yu said with a smile.

An Ran looked at him and reached out to touch him. "Brother Yu, your vital energy is so strong! Did you eat some kind of ultimate miracle pill?"

"..."

Chen Yu brushed An Ran's hand away and changed the subject. "Your progress is impressive. Looks like you've had some fortunate encounters yourselves."

"It was alright. It's just because we went to cultivate in the Abyssal Holy Land," Meng Li said with a nod.

An Ran looked at him and said, "Brother Yu, I heard the academy arranged for you to go, but you refused. Sigh, you really missed out on a great opportunity."

"It's fine. I'm not in a rush to cultivate. I'll take it slow," Chen Yu said with a faint smile.

To him, cultivation wasn't particularly important.

Unless it was a world-shaking breakthrough like advancing from Level 9 to True God, ordinary advancements didn't have much of an impact on his overall strength.

Even breaking through to a Level 8 Martial Artist wouldn't result in an exaggerated increase in power.

Skills and physical Evolution—those were the main things.

Of course, his cultivation realm also needed to be raised.

But after his body underwent Evolution, his talent would improve, and cultivation would become as simple and natural as water flowing into a channel.

"Turning down the chance to cultivate in such a great place like the Abyss... I guess only you would do that. You're such an oddball," An Ran sighed.

Chen Yu: "..."

"Brother Yu, is the academy getting ready to send you to the Astral Realm?" An Ran asked suddenly, blinking her eyes.

Hm?

Chen Yu looked at her, surprised. "How did you know?"

An Ran rolled her eyes. "I'm not a Xiaobai. How could I not know that?"

"If you're going to the Stellar Battlefield in the future, you definitely have to go to the Astral Realm to improve. That's common knowledge."

"Have you been to the Astral Realm?" Chen Yu asked her.

An Ran shook her head. "How could I have gone? I just know a few things about it. The Astral Realm is dangerous. With my abilities, I probably couldn't even protect myself there."

"What do you know about the situation in the Astral Realm?" Chen Yu asked.
