My Talent Skill Mutated

"Brother Ba, it seems your reputation at the Azure Firmament Realm Academy is quite impressive!" Dongfang Yao said with a smile, watching the three figures flee in panic.

"Those three were selected for the Divine Hall, so we can’t touch them," Nangong Ba said.

"The Starry Sky Divine Hall?" Chen Yu looked at Nangong Ba.

Nangong Ba nodded.

Upon hearing this, a glint appeared in Chen Yu’s eyes.

’So, does that mean I might run into those guys during the Divine Hall’s trials?’

’If that happens...’

A flash of killing intent crossed Chen Yu’s mind.

’It’s hard to make a move in the Star Realm, but once we’re in the Stellar Battlefield for the Divine Hall’s trials... that might be a different story.’

"Brother Ba, let’s absorb it together. This Star Spring is huge; the three of us can’t absorb it all anyway," Dongfang Yao said.

Nangong Ba nodded in agreement.

Then, the three of them entered the lake of the Star Spring.

...

「Three days later.」

In the Star Realm, deep within the wilderness, the starlight-like liquid of the Star Spring lake had returned to its normal color.

It had taken Chen Yu and the others a full two days, but they had finally absorbed it all.

Zhuge Qingtian used the vast, special Spiritual Qi from the Star Spring to break through to Level 9.

Dongfang Yao, however, had not broken through yet. She was still at the peak of the Eighth Level, though it seemed she wasn’t far from Level 9.

Chen Yu’s progress was also significant; he had advanced to the Late Stage of the Eighth Level.

Space trembled, and once the absorption was complete, the Star Spring lake vanished into thin air.

The four of them stood in place. Nangong Ba looked at Dongfang Yao. "It’s about time. Xiaoyao, I’ll see you on the Stellar Battlefield."

Dongfang Yao nodded. "Okay, Brother Ba. See you on the Stellar Battlefield."

Nangong Ba smiled, then looked at Chen Yu. "The rules of the Star Realm are unbreakable, but things are different on the Stellar Battlefield. If you’re going to make a move, don’t be too obvious about it."

"Thanks for the heads-up," Chen Yu nodded.

"See you on the Stellar Battlefield!" Nangong Ba laughed heartily. His figure then transformed into a streak of light, vanishing into the sky.

Chen Yu watched Nangong Ba disappear before retracting his gaze.

"Make a move? Brother Yu, what did he mean by that?" Zhuge Qingtian asked, looking at Chen Yu.

"He meant exactly what he said," Chen Yu said lightly.

Zhuge Qingtian was speechless. "..."

’Are we solving riddles here?’

Zhuge Qingtian rolled his eyes but didn’t press the issue.

"How much time is left?" Chen Yu asked.

"A few more hours, I think," Dongfang Yao said.

"Then let’s stay here and stabilize our cultivation. We’re not moving," Chen Yu said.

The other two nodded. The three of them then sat cross-legged on the ground. While Dongfang Yao and Zhuge Qingtian began cultivating with the Celestial Destiny Skill, Chen Yu summoned his interface to check it.

Name: Chen Yu

Source of Life: 680,921,009

’Six hundred million... The next step is to upgrade Speed of a God.’

Looking at the interface, Chen Yu heaved a sigh.

’This one month in the Star Realm has probably yielded more than a whole year on the Ancestor Star.’

’If I hadn’t come to the Star Realm, it would have been difficult to achieve such an astonishing improvement in such a short time.’

’My skills improved, and my cultivation grew.’

’The improvement in just one month was simply unbelievable.’

’It seems the next evolution for my physique can only be achieved on the Stellar Battlefield.’

Chen Yu thought to himself as he stared at the interface.

’The boost from my Physique Evolution is massive. My current Life Force surpasses that of most Ninth-level Martial Artists.’

’However, there’s still a gap between me and a monster like Nangong Ba, who’s at the Ninth Level Peak.’

’It’s a gap I’m fully confident I can surpass.’

’It’s only a matter of time.’

’My progress from the beginning of my cultivation until now has been nothing short of mythical.’

’But it will all be for naught if I can’t become a True God.’

’Only a True God can roam the starry cosmos freely.’

’My future journey is destined for the sea of stars!’

"The only regret is that I didn’t find a True God’s treasure..."

Chen Yu sighed.

There were treasures of True Gods in the Star Realm, and the greatest of them all was the Divine Origin.

However, he had only heard about it and never had the chance to encounter it.

Although they had traversed many places over the month, in a place like the Star Realm—which was said to be like a cosmic Abyss—the areas they had seen were merely the tip of the iceberg.

Even if they had encountered the Divine Origin, they might not have been able to secure it.

After all, the thing could attack on its own. Even with only a fraction of a True God’s power, it would be an overwhelmingly crushing blow for any existence below the level of a True God.

Calming his thoughts, Chen Yu closed the interface and began cultivating with the Celestial Destiny Skill.

—

A few hours passed quickly.

VMMMM—!

The starry clouds in the sky trembled as a vast and mighty power swept across the entire Star Realm.

In that instant, Chen Yu and the others stood up.

The immense power was nearly irresistible, and a powerful sensation of vertigo washed over them.

In a flash, their figures vanished into thin air.

When Chen Yu and the others opened their eyes again, they found themselves back on the initial teleportation device.

"We’re back."

Looking at their surroundings, Chen Yu’s group quickly came to their senses and stepped off the teleportation device.

Stepping out of the tall tower and looking up at the sun, Chen Yu let out a soft sigh.

’It’s good to be back on the Ancestor Star.’

In the Star Realm, the constant pressure from its unique gravitational rules always left one feeling suppressed.

But back on the Ancestor Star, even walking felt light and floaty.

It felt as if he might take off after just a couple of steps.

This could be considered one of the "aftereffects" of visiting the Star Realm!
