My Talent Skill Mutated

Chapter 117: Chapter 81: The Oriole Behind

A dull thud echoed as a ripple of force spread out.

"Huh..."

Chen Yu grunted in surprise, looking at the male student. A punch backed by terrifying power had failed to harm him.

This guy’s defensive Superpower seemed to be on par with his own Biological Force Field.

"A little interesting..."

A smile played on Chen Yu’s lips, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes. His body vanished like a bolt of lightning.

THUD THUD THUD!!!

In an instant, Chen Yu had unleashed over a hundred punches from all directions.

Amplified by his Force Field, this time he unleashed his full strength.

CRACK—!

With a sound like shattering glass, the protective barrier was annihilated by Chen Yu’s continuous, heavy-handed assault.

BANG!!

A single punch landed, sending the male student’s body flying into a rock wall amidst a cloud of dust.

VWOOM...

Just then, a beam of dark light shot toward Chen Yu. The female student had made her move.

ZAP~

With a flash of electric light, Chen Yu’s body vanished. The next second, an explosion rang out.

The female student’s expression changed. A sense of danger washed over her, and she instinctively unleashed her power, shrouding her body in dark light.

BANG!

A fist shot out from the dust cloud, broke through the dark light defense, and struck the female student.

PFFT...

The female student’s body shuddered. She spat out a mouthful of blood, flew back several dozen meters, and collapsed on the ground, unconscious.

"Lei!"

The male student cried out in alarm.

SWOOSH!

Chen Yu’s figure flashed, and he appeared directly in front of the student. A single karate chop to the body sent the male student collapsing to the ground as well.

Dust settled, revealing the utter chaos in the canyon.

"Hm?"

Chen Yu suddenly looked up, as if he had sensed something.

’Is rescue on the way? Well, this will keep them from recovering for a while anyway. Whatever, I’ll go deal with some other mutant beasts.’

The thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind. His Biological Force Field erupted, and his body shot off like a cannonball, vanishing in the blink of an eye.

In the canyon, the two students lay motionless on the ground, looking as if they were dead.

The moment Chen Yu disappeared, a black-clad figure descended from the sky. The figure’s brows furrowed as they surveyed the chaotic battle scene.

Their gaze fell upon the two unconscious students, and their expression changed. After a quick examination, the figure let out a sharp sigh of relief.

"Thank goodness, they’re only unconscious."

Their tense nerves relaxed. The black-clad figure scanned the surroundings. Seeing the Mutant Mantis’s corpse and the marks of destruction, their expression turned serious.

"I don’t know who did this, but they were ruthless. Tsk, tsk. It seems quite a few powerhouses have shown up this time."

Muttering under their breath, the black-clad figure carried the two unconscious students away.

...

"It fucking went up again!"

"He’s hacking, he’s definitely hacking!"

"Damn it, this is rigged!"

"Damn that Chen Yu, how could his score be rising so fast!"

—

Throughout the Lola Mountain Anomaly, student after student stared at the skyrocketing score of the person in first place.

They had started to close the gap, but with this latest jump, the lead was once again a crushing, insurmountable cliff.

His score had shot up by over a thousand points in an instant.

Meanwhile, besides Chen Yu, the highest-scoring students had barely broken one hundred.

A gap like that was enough to make one question their very existence.

"Did that guy really stumble into a mutant beast nest?"

In the middle of the forest, Maya had just finished off a level-four mutant beast. When she looked at the point rankings, her composure instantly shattered.

She had only managed to earn a pathetic ten points, so how had Chen Yu’s score suddenly skyrocketed by so much?

’Could it be? Did he really find a mutant beast nest?!’

’No, I absolutely cannot fall behind!’

With a determined look in her eyes, Maya’s figure flashed as she sped off into the depths of the jungle.

Elsewhere, Zhuge Qingfeng stared at the soaring point rankings, his eyes fixed on Chen Yu’s name in first place.

The gap was more than tenfold.

’This guy... he’s a monster.’

’Looks like cooperating with him was the bargain of a lifetime.’

’I hope he can keep it up.’

Sighing to himself, Zhuge Qingfeng took a leap, jumping straight off a cliff.

—

The finals rankings were in flux.

The hunt for mutant beasts on Lola Mountain was proceeding at a frantic pace.

Chen Yu’s rank remained firmly in first place.

Over an hour passed. When the second-place student’s score broke a thousand, it seemed to set off a chain reaction, and the scores of several other students began to soar rapidly.

Most of them were closing in, with some students’ scores even reaching over four thousand.

The gap with Chen Yu in first place had shrunk to only a few hundred points.

But among the twelve competitors, the scores of two students—the ones from the European and American region—had not changed at all.

This sight caused the representative from the European and American academies, watching from afar at the Capital City Academy, to frown.

"Damn it, what are Lei and Tom doing? They’re both incredibly strong. How can their scores not have changed at all?"

"Could they have been injured?"

Watching the rankings on the big screen, a representative from the European and American region wore an extremely grim expression.

These two students were elites; for both of them to show no activity at the same time was truly abnormal.

But when he saw the score of the student in second place, the representative’s expression relaxed slightly.

Fortunately, their remaining student had surpassed ninety-nine percent of the competition.

Only that damn Chen Yu was still in first place.

However, seeing the point gap steadily shrinking, he felt it wouldn’t be long before their student surpassed him.

"Hmph, an Easterner thinks he can be champion? Dream on!"

A wave of superiority washed over him, and the representative from the European and American region glanced at Director Xu.

Director Xu remained composed, but inwardly he was ecstatic.

Chen Yu’s performance had far exceeded his expectations. He had held first place for an hour. This was a massive improvement. Even if he couldn’t maintain this incredible pace, a spot in the top three was now highly probable.

’Keep it up! Crush every last one of them!’

Director Xu’s heart roared behind his calm facade as he stared at the big screen.

Aside from Dongfang Yi’s single first-place victory, Jingzhou Superpower Academy had never even made it into the top three.

This was the closest they had ever come to the champion’s throne.

If they didn’t claim the victor’s throne this time, who knew how long they would have to wait for another chance.

Based on his performance so far, Chen Yu had a very real chance!

If he seized this opportunity, first place was within their grasp!
