My Talent Skill Mutated

Chapter 108: Chapter 78: Capital City, The Opening

"Of course, with one exception."

Dongfang Yi added.

’One exception?’

"What place?" Chen Yu looked at him.

Dongfang Yi raised a finger and pointed to the sky. "The Stellar Battlefield. That’s another place where a True God can unleash their full power without any restrictions."

"The Stellar Battlefield!"

Chen Yu looked up at the vast night sky.

Stellar Battlefield. This wasn’t the first time he had heard the term.

It wasn’t some secret location; almost everyone knew about it.

The cosmic battlefield!

The true battleground where the Alien Races fought.

A place filled with slaughter.

Located in the depths of space, a boundless expanse.

Simply put, the entire universe was a series of Stellar Battlefields.

Of course, not every part of the universe was like that.

The Stellar Battlefields where the wars between Alien Races truly erupted—those were the core.

But all of this was very distant for him, at least for now.

"Have you been to the Stellar Battlefield?" Chen Yu asked while taking a sip of his drink.

"What do you think?" Dongfang Yi glanced at Chen Yu from the side.

"..."

"You’ll have your chance in the future," Dongfang Yi said with a faint smile.

"You have a lot of potential in this world ranking tournament. The dean values you so highly, you should have a shot at fighting for that top champion spot."

Dongfang Yi changed the subject.

"The top champion spot..." Chen Yu glanced at him. "I’m not confident about that."

"Whether you succeed or not is one thing, but you have to have confidence first," Dongfang Yi said, drinking his beer.

Chen Yu drank his beer without a word.

Dongfang Yi glanced at him, finished the rest of his beer in one go, and then stood up. "Alright, you should get some rest. Oh, and be careful of Dongfang Ji. There’s something wrong with his head. He’s probably got his eye on you."

With that, Dongfang Yi strode away.

’Be careful of Dongfang Ji...’

Watching Dongfang Yi’s retreating figure, Chen Yu narrowed his eyes.

’They’re both from the Dongfang family, yet Dongfang Yi is telling me to be careful of Dongfang Ji?’

’What does that mean?’

Chen Yu retracted his gaze and looked at the beer can in his hand. He was silent for a moment, then downed the rest of it, stood up, tossed the can into a nearby trash bin, and left.

...

Back at the villa, Chen Yu lay on the sofa and summoned Sophie to give him a massage.

He remembered Dongfang Yi’s final warning.

’But they’re both from the Dongfang family. Why would he warn an outsider like me?’

Chen Yu felt that something wasn’t right.

But he couldn’t put his finger on it.

’Still, to get a warning from Dongfang Yi... this Dongfang Ji must be even more formidable than I thought.’

But Chen Yu wasn’t too worried.

’If we really do face off, then let’s do it!’

’It’s not like I scare easily.’

The next day, early in the morning, Director Xu led the students to breakfast in the villa’s dining hall. Afterward, they boarded a pre-arranged bus and departed.

Today was the preliminary round!

The venue was the Capital City Superpower Academy.

The world tournament would last for three days.

The first day was the preliminary round, the second day was the second round, and on the final day, they would head to the Lola Mountain Abyss for the final ranking matches.

Capital City, Inner City!

At the Capital City Superpower Academy, bus after bus drove up to the outside of the academy’s competition venue.

The competition venue was massive, easily capable of holding over a hundred thousand people.

In addition to academy personnel, the venue also held government officials, members of high society, reporters, and so on.

The scene was magnificent!

Arriving outside the venue, the bus stopped, and the group disembarked. Chen Yu also saw buses from the other academies.

There were twelve Superpower Academy branches, and each branch had sent dozens of participants.

In total, there were several hundred students in the preliminary round.

And at least half of these students would be eliminated.

Because there were only one hundred and twenty spots for the second round!

Four to five hundred Elite Students, with only one hundred and twenty advancing. The competition was incredibly fierce!

In the preliminary round, each student had three chances. Those who could secure a three-win streak were basically guaranteed a spot in the second round.

After passing a special physical examination, Chen Yu and the others each received a corresponding number.

He was Number 88.

Entering the venue and arriving at the student waiting area, Chen Yu had just sat down when he felt an intense gaze land on him.

He turned his head slightly and saw a young man with a buzz cut looking at him. Their eyes met, and a smile appeared on the young man’s face.

His eyes seemed to hold a trace of excitement.

Chen Yu frowned. Just then, Baili Qing, who was beside him, spoke in a low voice.

"Brother Yu, that’s Dongfang Ji!"

Dongfang Ji...

Hearing Baili Qing’s words, Chen Yu looked at the young man with the buzz cut.

Through his Force Field sense, he could feel the powerful Seed of Superpower contained within the young man’s body.

Beyond that, there seemed to be another hidden power in his body, one that even his Force Field sense couldn’t identify.

It was as if it was being shielded.

He hadn’t fully activated his Force Field sense. There were too many people here, including many top-level titans, so Chen Yu couldn’t just probe around recklessly.

’It seems that hidden power inside him is quite significant...’

Chen Yu’s gaze remained on this Dongfang Ji.

"Brother Yu, looks like he’s got his eye on you," Baili Qing whispered from the side.

Chen Yu glanced at him, and Baili Qing continued, "When he gets excited like that, it means he’s interested. Brother Yu, you’re quite the charmer!"

Chen Yu: "..."

Not bothering to respond, Chen Yu turned his gaze to the center of the venue.

A high platform, over ten meters tall and five or six meters wide.

This was no ordinary fighting ring.

The battles between the Awakened were incredibly destructive; a normal ring couldn’t withstand it.

This platform was merely the entrance to the battle area.

The fights would be held in an Exotic Realm Space.

This was a specially created Exotic Realm Space, allowing for completely unrestrained combat.

From the outside, spectators could clearly see the battle unfolding within.

It was clearer than watching a movie, and more thrilling!

His gaze swept across the venue, and Chen Yu looked toward the ten judges’ seats.

The ten judges had already arrived.

The role of the judges was to ensure the fairness of the tournament and to score the participants based on their combat performance.

The final one hundred and twenty students who would advance would be determined based on these scores!

Besides the tournament judges, representatives from all the participating academies had also arrived.

The representatives from the twelve Superpower Academies were all titan-level figures.
