"A Dual Ability Awakened!"

Watching An Ran beside him, Chen Yu was inwardly shaken.

This was the first time he had seen An Ran in action.

A delicate young girl, but her strength was absurdly high!

Lightning plus teleportation—the combination of these abilities created a lethality that was anything but ordinary.

"Amazing."

Chen Yu gave her a thumbs-up.

A smile appeared on An Ran’s face as she waved her hand dismissively. "It’s nothing special."

"Your abilities are teleportation and lightning. That’s a really strong combination!" Chen Yu exclaimed.

An Ran blinked and looked at Chen Yu. "You’re mistaken. I don’t have a teleportation ability."

Chen Yu: "?"

’You don’t? Then how did you suddenly appear on the Iron-Winged Bird’s back just now?’

’Isn’t that teleportation?’

An Ran: "My abilities are Blink and Lightning. Blink isn’t the same as teleportation. It works for short distances, but not long ones."

"Blink..."

Chen Yu nodded, understanding dawning on him.

’Now that she put it that way, it made sense.’

’Still, that ability is pretty damn badass.’

’Blink. A small-scale teleport.’

’The only difference is the range.’

"Let’s go."

Cai Kun, his expression calm, continued to move forward.

The others followed, advancing toward the ruined city in the distance. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

The city was completely abandoned, showing no signs of life, like a city of the dead.

But beneath this dead city lay a multitude of dangers!

The city’s roads were covered in weeds.

In the distance, tall buildings teetered precariously, looking as if they could collapse at any moment.

Walking into the ruined city was like stepping into a post-apocalyptic world!

’The civilization here must have been quite advanced. Even if it couldn’t compare to Ancestor Star, perhaps it wasn’t too far off from Earth...’

Walking along the city road, Chen Yu looked at the ruined buildings on either side.

’This is a true post-apocalyptic world!’

Although Ancestor Star was under attack by aberrant beasts, its civilized institutions hadn’t collapsed.

After all, besides the Ancestral Star People, Ancestor Star had support from other human forces.

The Age of Cataclysm was a turbulent time!

Now, after a thousand-year stalemate, humanity’s strength had developed to a terrifying degree.

Otherwise, they would never have been able to secure a foothold in the Starry Cosmos!

’I just wonder if the civilization of this Crane Ridge Anomaly was a human one.’

In the Starry Cosmos, humans weren’t the only advanced civilization.

Others existed as well.

"ROAR—!"

In the silent city, the roar of a wild beast rang out.

Chen Yu and the others stopped and looked around.

Monsters began to appear all around the dilapidated streets.

They looked like dogs, but they had two heads!

Twin Dog Beasts!

Another common type of aberrant beast!

The Twin Dog Beasts appearing from all directions were numerous, and they were more than twice the size of a typical large dog.

Their gazes were savage, and they snarled relentlessly.

These were all level-one aberrant beasts.

Low-level Twin Dog Beasts didn’t have any special abilities; they were just faster and stronger than normal.

However, there were a lot of them. Dozens of Twin Dog Beasts suddenly appeared on the surrounding streets, and their numbers were still growing.

All of them were level-one Twin Dog Beasts.

Their two heads glowed with an oily green light, making for a terrifying sight.

Cai Kun swept his gaze over them, and with a slight raise of his hand, a red light appeared.

"WHOOSH—!"

With a wave of his hand, the red light shot out like a crescent moon.

"THWACK! THWACK! THWACK!!"

A dozen or so Twin Dog Beasts were decapitated on the spot, killed instantly.

"What kind of ability is that?" Chen Yu asked in surprise.

’A red crescent moon... That thing looks incredibly lethal!’

"Everyone take a direction! Quick battle, quick victory!"

As Cai Kun spoke, the group sprang into action.

"FWOOSH—"

Chen Yu dashed forward, unleashing a Frost Storm that froze a dozen or so Twin Dog Beasts to death on the spot.

"ROAR—!"

With a roar, a Twin Dog Beast lunged from the side, bringing with it a foul stench.

"HMMMM—!"

Chen Yu glanced over, and his Biological Force Field silently activated, enveloping the Twin Dog Beast.

"BANG!!"

With a thought, he sent the Twin Dog Beast flying, and it crashed into another one charging from behind, sending them both tumbling away.

The Biological Force Field Skill consumed his mental energy.

With his current mental reserves, he could use it with complete impunity.

This mental drain was negligible for him, as he could replenish it by directly absorbing sunlight.

’Energy conversion and absorption!’

Theoretically, he could absorb lightning, sunlight, and even nuclear energy.

Of course, his Biological Force Field was probably incapable of absorbing nuclear energy at its current level.

That would exceed his current capacity.

Although he hadn’t fully mastered the Biological Force Field ability, Chen Yu already had experience in exploring his Skills.

A Skill’s power depended on two things: first, the user themselves, and second, the Skill’s Evolution.

Although the Biological Force Field was a Golden Legendary Skill, it was still in its initial stage.

Still, for now, it was more than enough.

"SCHING—!"

He drew his Vibrating Gold Battle Blade, leaped into the air, and unleashed a three-meter-long blade of Qi.

SPLURT—!!

The smell of blood filled the street as his blade Qi crisscrossed, slicing the beasts in half at the waist.

A dozen or so Twin Dog Beasts were brutally slain.

But it wasn’t over. The number of Twin Dog Beasts was still rapidly increasing.

They swarmed in from all directions.

The four of them each took a direction.

Although the Twin Dog Beasts were numerous, the team’s strength was extraordinary, and the beasts could barely get close.

The one having the easiest time was, without a doubt, Cai Kun.

He activated his ability, and his Red Moon Scimitar carved a path, plowing through everything before it.

Meng Li and An Ran weren’t having much difficulty either.

As for Chen Yu...

He charged directly into the pack of beasts.

Covered by his Biological Force Field, the Twin Dog Beasts couldn’t even bite through his defensive shield.

He was like a human bulldozer, steamrolling and crushing everything in his path.

Watching this scene, Cai Kun and the other two were also stunned.

’Charging directly into a pack of dozens of beasts... that guy really has no fear of death!’

But seeing that Chen Yu was fine, they didn’t intervene.

"BANG—!"

With one punch, he brutally smashed a Twin Dog Beast’s head.

Fresh blood splattered everywhere, and the coppery scent filled the air.

Protected by his Biological Force Field, he could attack with complete abandon.

With Qi flowing through his Vibrating Gold Battle Blade, any Twin Dog Beast that got close was instantly and cleanly slain.

It was easier than slicing tofu.

Bright red blood stained the ground completely.

Chen Yu carved a path straight through the street, leaving the bodies of Twin Dog Beasts strewn about in his wake.

He had completely annihilated all the Twin Dog Beasts in his designated direction.

The thick, bloody stench was nauseating, but Chen Yu was already used to it.

He wasn’t repulsed by the smell of blood; in fact, he even found it a little exciting!

Chen Yu checked his Source of Life.

358!

Each Twin Dog Beast gave over two points, a little more than a Dirt-Thorn Rat. Dozens of them had added over two hundred points.

After completely clearing out the Twin Dog Beasts on his street, Chen Yu looked toward the other three directions.

Cai Kun’s side was clear, but Meng Li and An Ran were having a bit more trouble, still facing a large number of attacking Twin Dog Beasts.

"SWOOSH—!"

In a single dash, Chen Yu arrived on Meng Li’s street.

He thrust his palms forward, and a Frost Storm swept out, instantly freezing over a dozen meters of the street.

The Frost Storm, formed by unleashing his freezing breath at full power, was completely overwhelming.

With a crackle, the frozen Twin Dog Beasts shattered, clearing out ninety-eight percent of them in an instant.

"Thanks," Meng Li said, catching her breath as she looked at Chen Yu.

Chen Yu didn’t say a word, disappearing in a flash and reappearing on An Ran’s street.

He repeated the process: a Frost Storm swept out, brutally freezing the Twin Dog Beasts and killing them instantly.

His Source of Life skyrocketed, jumping to over eight hundred in an instant.

Although it was just a drop in the bucket for his current Skill and Evolution needs, as the numbers grew, it was nothing to scoff at.

Activating his Spirit Devouring Skill, Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi poured into his body, instantly replenishing his spent Qi.

With the Twin Dog Beasts on three streets dealt with, Cai Kun had also finished up on his side.

A bone-chilling cold and the stench of blood hung in the air.

The four of them gathered together. Just as they were about to speak, a sound suddenly came from another street.

Their gazes snapped to the source of the sound, and their pupils contracted sharply.
