My Talent Skill Mutated

Chapter 134: Chapter 87: Something Happened

—

The days of cultivation were dull and tedious.

A month passed in the blink of an eye.

In a training room in the Superpower Academy’s dormitory area, Chen Yu sat cross-legged. Powerful Qi swirled around him, its formidable pressure filling the room.

"Hooo..."

Exhaling, Chen Yu opened his eyes and stood up.

"4.9. Still just a little bit off."

Sensing the Qi within him, Chen Yu clicked his tongue.

By using the Celestial Destiny Skill to absorb the energy of the Celestial Spirit Pearl, he had rocketed to Level 4.9 in just one month.

Such an improvement was incredibly fast.

Unfortunately, even after completely absorbing a single Celestial Spirit Pearl, he still hadn’t managed to break through to Level 5.

The difference was only 0.1, but the gap in Qi was tenfold, if not more.

’With my current Qi, I can still only activate Destructive Celestial Light once. I wonder if I’ll be able to use it twice after breaking through to Level 5,’ Chen Yu thought to himself.

Having reached Level 4.9, his Qi reserves had skyrocketed, making them even more abundant than those of an average Level 5 Martial Artist.

But it still wasn’t enough.

The Destructive Celestial Light Skill simply required too much Qi.

This ability could still only be used as a trump card.

His current cultivation level was far from sufficient to activate it at will.

After stabilizing the Qi inside him, Chen Yu walked out of the training room.

The autumn wind was bleak and desolate.

It was late November, almost December, and the weather had gradually turned cold.

Chen Yu’s gaze drifted into the distance. ’It’s about time. It’s been a month; I should stretch my legs. I wonder if An Ran and Baili Qing are around...’

The thought had barely crossed his mind when he used his watch to send a message to their team’s group chat.

He received replies almost immediately.

Baili Qing: "Brother Yu, you’re out of seclusion?"

An Ran: "Brother Yu, are you going to make a move?"

"Are you two at the academy?"

"Yes!"

"We are!"

"Then let’s meet in front of the Mission Building. We can see if there are any suitable missions," Chen Yu sent another message.

"OK!"

"Coming right away!"

After their swift replies, Chen Yu headed toward the Mission Building.

...

A short while later, the three of them gathered in front of the Mission Building.

Chen Yu glanced at the two and, with his Force Field perception, sensed that their strength had also improved rapidly.

Their sources of Superpower had grown, and their Qi had improved considerably. Both had become Level 4 Martial Artists.

Although their improvement wasn’t as great as his, it was still quite good compared to "normal students."

"Brother Yu, I’ve been waiting for you for so long," An Ran said as she stepped forward, looking excited.

"Brother Yu, what mission are we doing this time?" Baili Qing asked.

Chen Yu: "Let’s take a look first. By the way, where’s Brother Feng?"

Xu Feng hadn’t shown up, nor had he replied to the message.

"Um, Brother Feng... he’s in the hospital."

The excitement on An Ran’s face vanished in an instant. She lowered her head and spoke in a small voice.

"In the hospital?" Chen Yu’s brow furrowed.

’He was fine a month ago. How could he suddenly be in the hospital after just one month?’

"When did this happen?" Chen Yu asked, looking at the two of them.

"A few days ago, I guess. On our way back from a mission, we were ambushed by people from a Heterodox Sect. Brother Feng was seriously injured. He hasn’t woken up yet, but his condition has stabilized. It might be a few more days before he wakes up."

Baili Qing said.

"A Heterodox Sect..."

Chen Yu’s face darkened as he listened to Baili Qing’s explanation.

This wasn’t Chen Yu’s first run-in with a Heterodox Sect.

Ever since the talent test in Qing City, he had been clashing with them.

The last time was even more dangerous; he had fought an Alien Race directly.

However, he had managed to overcome the danger each time by relying on his own strength.

But now, Xu Feng had been ambushed by a Heterodox Sect and was lying in a coma, seriously injured.

"Tell me the details," Chen Yu said.

Baili Qing briefly explained the situation, and Chen Yu understood.

"The Pantheon Sect..."

Chen Yu learned from Baili Qing that the ones who ambushed them were from the Pantheon Sect.

Moreover, there was a high probability that the Alien Race had a hand in it.

"Where is Brother Feng hospitalized?" Chen Yu asked, snapping back to the present.

Xu Feng was their safety officer. Now that he was in trouble, Chen Yu had to go see him no matter what.

"He’s in Jingzhou First Hospital. He’s been moved to the intensive care unit."

An Ran replied.

Chen Yu looked at the two of them. "Alright, how about this: you two take me to see him first. We’ll deal with missions later."

The two nodded.

About an hour later, the three of them arrived at Jingzhou First Hospital.

On the sixteenth floor of the hospital, in the intensive care unit, Chen Yu looked at the comatose Xu Feng on the hospital bed.

His entire body was wrapped in bandages, like a mummy.

Using his Force Field to check, he found Xu Feng’s Life Fluctuations were very low.

The source of Superpower within his body even showed signs of dissipating. His injuries were even more severe than expected.

Chen Yu’s expression was grim.

With injuries this severe, the slightest misstep could have been fatal.

"The Pantheon Sect..." Chen Yu’s fists tightened.

’The Divine Authority Council, the Pantheon Sect... Given the chance, I must make both of these Heterodox Sects pay.’

"Brother Feng’s body is slowly recovering. He should wake up in a few days," An Ran said.

Chen Yu looked at the unconscious Xu Feng. Although he hadn’t spoken with him much, he still considered Xu Feng a friend.

Seeing him so gravely injured, Chen Yu felt awful.

"Don’t worry. I will make them pay," Chen Yu said, his expression cold.

Baili Qing and An Ran exchanged a glance but said nothing.

The Heterodox Sects were difficult to deal with, mainly because they were hidden so well.

They wouldn’t show up in the open, but their covert attacks were impossible to guard against.

Plus, with the support of the Alien Race, their strength was not to be underestimated.

"Let’s go. Let him rest quietly," Chen Yu said, then turned and walked out of the intensive care unit.
