My Talent Skill Mutated

A few of the men seemed unhappy with the burly youth’s words, but they didn’t say anything more. They just glanced at Chen Yu and his companions before leaving.

"Good thing they knew when to back off," Zhuge Qingtian said, letting out a breath. "Otherwise, I would’ve had to risk everything to take a few of them down with me."

"It wouldn’t have come to that."

Chen Yu gave a faint smile. His Life Force Field immediately enveloped the other two, and they departed.

’If they weren’t going to make a move, neither was I.’

’After all, using Skills is very draining.’

’I still have trump cards, but I have no intention of using them lightly when the cost is so high.’

They traveled deep into the Gobi, into a secluded, winding canyon. Chen Yu used his blade to carve a cave into the rock face, and the three of them went inside.

Dongfang Yao and Zhuge Qingtian immediately began absorbing their Life Light Groups to recover.

’Two point nine billion... After my body’s Evolution, my Divine Will has also increased. I wonder what the new Skill is...’

Chen Yu was filled with anticipation, but he wasn’t in a rush. First, he would absorb the Life Light Group to recover to his peak condition and strengthen his Life Force.

Half an hour later, Chen Yu had completely integrated the Life Light Group.

Two-thirds of a Ninth Level Life Light Group provided him with a massive boost.

His Life Force had grown much stronger.

He could now exert a much more powerful Life Force Field.

He was now confident he could even challenge a peak Eighth Level Martial Artist with his suppressive Force Field.

Exhaling softly, Chen Yu glanced at the other two, who were still absorbing their Life Light Groups. He then summoned his interface and looked at the amount of Source of Life displayed.

Over 2.9 billion in total.

’This is the first time I’ve ever accumulated so much Source of Life.’

’But in the future, there will only be more.’

Chen Yu was certain of that.

’Evolve!’

With a single thought, Chen Yu chose to evolve his body. Two billion Source of Life were instantly consumed.

BOOM—!!

Within his body, a familiar, overwhelming torrent surged forth once more, spreading through his limbs and bones.

An immense aura began to radiate from him.

The torrent was all-consuming.

A wave of indescribable bliss washed over him.

His flesh, cells, muscles, and bones—every inch of his body was being tempered and elevated by the surging torrent.

A layer of sacred light enveloped his body as an invisible pressure spread outwards.

The disturbance immediately caught the attention of the other two, who were still absorbing Life Force.

However, after just a single glance, they both closed their eyes again. They hadn’t finished absorbing the Life Force and didn’t dare lose focus.

’Perhaps Chen Yu is just having a normal breakthrough.’

’After all, he absorbed a much larger portion of the Ninth Level Life Light Group than we did.’

’It’s perfectly normal for him to have some kind of advancement!’

...

’It’s over.’

This time, the process lasted a full half an hour before the physical Evolution was finally complete.

Chen Yu felt as if he had been completely reborn.

It was as if his very being had entered a new stage.

A fundamental metamorphosis!

However, this metamorphosis still felt... incomplete.

The physical Evolution had also advanced his power, pushing him to Level 7 Peak!

But compared to the enhancements to his body from the physical Evolution, this advancement in his level seemed insignificant.

His Spirit, Essence, and Qi, as well as his Life Force, had all reached an astonishing level.

His Life Force was now likely on par with, or perhaps even greater than, that of a Ninth Level Peak Martial Artist!

[Physical Evolution successful. New Skill acquired: Dragon Shadow!]

???

Dragon Shadow??

’What kind of Skill is this?’

Chen Yu stared, stunned, at the text that had appeared before him.

’Judging by the name alone, this Skill... sounds incredibly powerful!’

Snapping out of it, Chen Yu immediately willed the Skill details to appear.

[Skill: Dragon Shadow (Golden Legend). Have you ever heard of the might of a divine dragon? You are its summoner. Consume Life Force to call forth the shadow of a divine dragon. The more Life Force consumed, the greater its power...]

What?!

Chen Yu stared dumbfounded at the text before him.

’A summoner of divine dragons?’

’No, wait, the shadow of a divine dragon. I can’t summon the real thing...’
