My Talent Skill Mutated

Chapter 180: Chapter 96: Still Humble? Celestial Eye World

At first glance, the plains seemed quiet, but his Force Field perception told him something was wrong.

He detected the auras of numerous alien beasts, yet he couldn’t see a single one.

Chen Yu frowned. His Force Field swept across the plains again. The auras of numerous alien beasts were still present, but his mind registered nothing.

It was a truly baffling situation.

’Could it be...’

Suddenly, a possibility surfaced in Chen Yu’s mind.

Two words popped into his head.

Mirror Space!

He had encountered a similar situation once before, in the Tangula Abyss.

The current situation on the plains was remarkably similar to what had happened in the Tangula Abyss.

Back then, he had been able to break through the Mirror Space because of Dongfang Yi’s Spatial Ability. But now he was alone, and Spatial Ability wasn’t his forte.

In fact, he didn’t know it at all.

’Unless the creatures inside the Mirror Space attack me first,’ he thought. ’Perhaps then I could latch on, enter the space, and destroy it from within.’

He could break it by shattering its spatial limits with pure power.

However, that could only be done from inside the Mirror Space. From the outside, it was impossible unless he also possessed a Spatial Skill.

Of course, there was another possibility: find one of the Mirror Space’s spatial nodes.

The spatial coordinates to enter it, in other words.

It wouldn’t be impossible to break in from the outside using those coordinates.

’I wonder if I can lure them out...’ A thought flashed through Chen Yu’s mind as he gazed into the depths of the plains.

The alien beasts inside a Mirror Space definitely wouldn’t be ordinary ones.

A single top-tier alien beast was worth almost as much as a small-scale beast tide.

It was also the fastest way to accumulate Source of Life.

Of course, the risk was proportional to the reward.

’I’ll give it a try. If it doesn’t work, I’ll just have to go somewhere else.’ After a moment of contemplation, Chen Yu made his decision.

Since he had a lead, he had to at least give it a shot.

"Hmm?"

Just as Chen Yu was about to move, he suddenly froze, his gaze turning toward the depths of the plains.

Within his Force Field’s range, he sensed a powerful Life Fluctuation speeding across the plains.

Although the lockdown on the Crane Ridge Anomaly had been lifted, ordinary people still couldn’t enter. The sheer number of alien beasts made the risk factor far too high.

Of course, there were exceptions, such as Bounty Hunters or students from other academies.

He sensed one set of Life Fluctuations, and right behind it, Chen Yu detected another, even more powerful set.

As he focused on the depths of the plains, several blurry figures materialized in his mind’s eye.

They were moving fast, and the blurry figures quickly came into focus.

"Huh!"

"That person..."

"It’s her!"

Through the image provided by his Force Field perception, Chen Yu instantly recognized a familiar face.

A young woman.

Maya!

A name surfaced in Chen Yu’s mind.

The first Life Fluctuation belonged to someone he had seen before at the Capital City tournament: a student from Shanghai Academy, Maya!

Chen Yu had a strong impression of the talented student from Shanghai’s elite.

The Life Fluctuations following hers, however, belonged to members of an Alien Race.

Lizard heads!

It was the Demon Lizard Race, just as described in the intelligence files.

There were three members of the Demon Lizard Race in total. The leader was the most powerful, with Life Fluctuations nearing Level 8.

A Level 7 Peak!

The other two members of the Demon Lizard Race were also at Level 7.

Racing across the plains, Maya was in a sorry state. Her clothes were tattered in places, revealing glimpses of pale skin.

She was fleeing for her life, covered in dust and grime.

Facing one nearly Level 8 and two Level 7 members of the Demon Lizard Race, she was completely outmatched.

As she felt the members of the Demon Lizard Race closing in, Maya’s heart sank to the pit of her stomach.

The three members of the Demon Lizard Race were treating her as nothing more than prey.

At this moment, they were reveling in the thrill of the hunt.

"Run faster, little human girl! HAHAHAHA!!!"

one of the Demon Lizards shouted as he gave chase, and the others roared with laughter.

The sensation of hunting prey sent a thrill through the Demon Lizards’ nerves.

’Damn it! Just you wait. If I get out of this alive, I swear I’ll wipe the entire Demon Lizard Race off the map!’ Maya vowed to herself as she fled.

As long as she didn’t die here, she would dedicate her life to fighting the Demon Lizard Race.

A fight to the death!

’How is Maya here? Is she on an academy mission, too?’

Chen Yu was stunned by the scene his Force Field perception fed him.

He’d been inside for the better part of a day, and this was the first human he’d run into. On top of that, he’d also found some of the Demon Lizard Race.

If he killed these members of the Demon Lizard Race, his assessment would be complete.

But the assessment itself wasn’t important at all.

Harvesting the Source of Life—that was his real goal.

Of course, completing the mission was a nice bonus.

The dean had said there was a reward for completing it, and only a fool would turn down a free reward.

’Tsk, tsk. That woman’s in a bad spot, being hunted by three members of the Demon Lizard Race...’

Chen Yu remarked to himself as he gazed into the depths of the plains.

He had experienced the power of the Demon Lizard Race firsthand.

The first time he’d encountered them, he wouldn’t have been able to kill them without relying on Divine Will. He might have even died himself.

But now... he was a completely different person.

One near Level 8 and two at Level 7... that added up to over twenty million in Source of Life.

’Can’t let this slip away!’

ZAP—!

In a flash of lightning, Chen Yu’s figure vanished from the cliff’s edge.
