My Identity Is Becoming More and More Astonishing

Time.

Just like watching a favorite film,

it ended swiftly without the need for fast-forward.

By the time Chen Yu steadied himself against the wall and walked out of the siheyuan, the sky had already begun to darken.

Turning back,

he glanced at the "bottomless" backyard, feeling mentally exhausted, fastened his belt, and headed out of the sacred temple.

"Is the treatment over?"

The pallid man appeared before Chen Yu like a specter, blocking his path, "Why did it take so long?"

Chen Yu stopped, caught his breath, and explained, "Had to get several injections. It delayed things a bit."

"Is that so," the pale man stared at Chen Yu, slowly nodding before asking, "Are you coming back tomorrow?"

"Not coming back!" Chen Yu flatly refused, "Even if you kill me, I won't come back."

"So, you mean the treatment is complete?" the pale man squinted, "Then I'll report back to Her Highness the Princess and settle your task."

"Whatever," Chen Yu waved his hand weakly, "I'm leaving first."

"I'll walk you out."

They left the building complex one after the other, passed the imposing sacred temple, and reached the purple-gold gate on the inside.

The pale man stopped, hands tucked into his sleeves, expressionless, "Once the task is completed, your temporary entry permission to the sacred temple will be revoked. Any unauthorized entry will result in an attack. Please be informed."

Chen Yu didn't respond and walked straight out of the temple's "illusion."

Space twisted.

Day and night alternated.

After a moment of disorientation, he appeared outside the purple-gold gate.

Without lingering, Chen Yu's supernatural abilities burst forth, and with a few leaps, he was hundreds of meters away.

'Strange!'

'Too strange!'

As he ran, Chen Yu's expression grew serious, his thoughts turning rapidly.

The Princess appeared so "flirtatious" on the surface, he had thought her nature was "dissolute," or that she practiced some kind of energy-draining seduction skill.

But he never, ever imagined...

That the Princess was still a rookie!

Every move she made clearly lacked any experience.

Perhaps even less experienced than the Li Family's heiress when her "title" changed back then.

One word—damn green!

'What was her purpose?'

"..."

Chen Yu's face grew even more unsightly.

He didn't think it was because of his charm that the other party fell in love at first sight.

Where in this world is there so much love at first sight?

If there is any, it's all just scheming.

"Squeak—"

He abruptly stopped walking, stood on the sparsely populated road, pondered for a moment, took out his mobile phone, opened the navigator, and headed to the nearest car rental shop.

He rented a high-end off-road vehicle.

With a full tank, he sped toward the north.

No matter what crafty plans the Princess had.

The fact was, he had done what needed to be done.

And the things he shouldn't have done, under coercion, he also did half willingly.

The urgent task now was to enhance his strength as quickly as possible.

Preferably before that "Great Emperor" discovered the greenery above his head...

Therefore, he didn't plan to return home tonight.

Instead, he was making an impromptu visit to the West Mountain of Hecheng to see if the two "fruits" he had buried there could be harvested ahead of time.

He always felt that these matters were shrouded in strangeness.

Strengthening his power as soon as possible meant one more layer of security…

"Damn it."

Mashing the gas pedal, Chen Yu cursed under his breath in confusion.

"What kind of plot development is this."

...

It was dark.

All the cities where humans gathered began to close up and lock down.

But as a Transcendent, even the lowest level, Chen Yu's authority far exceeded that of the mayors.

Thus, he could enter and exit cities freely, unchallenged.

In just three hours,

he had reached his destination—Hecheng.

"Squeak, squeak—"

The off-road vehicle came to a halt, steam billowing off the engine hood.

Chen Yu opened the door, turned off the ignition, got out, and walked to the end of the road.

A meter ahead lay a square, bottomless abyss.

Leaning over, he could faintly see, thanks to the dim moonlight, some underground water shooting out from the abyss' walls, falling into the depths to form various waterfalls.

But the echo of these cascading waters was never heard.

In a breath's time, hundreds of thousands vanished; an entire city disappeared...

This power that surpassed deities gave Chen Yu chills.

But what made him even "chiller" was that such a badass entity's wife had let him sleep with her...

"Looking at it from this angle."

Chen Yu frowned and ran his fingers through his blond hair, "I seem to be even more badass." Stay updated through empiren/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"...Damn it."

"My head hurts."

With a shovel in hand and after locking the car doors with the remote, Chen Yu circled the seemingly endless abyss and entered the West Mountain region of Qingluo Mountain Range in Hecheng.

After rushing for a while, he quickly located the small grave mound.

It was winter, and the top of the grave was bare without any grass, the soil loose and soft.

With a few digs, Chen Yu brought the two corpses back to the world of the living.

The titles above their heads, as expected, had changed to [Stinking Dead Corpses].

"If all my previous guesses are correct,"

"the 'titles' I've experienced have permanent effects."

"Then I can still get something out of these two bodies."

Thinking, Chen Yu swung his shovel, aiming at one of them and smashing it down heavily a dozen times.

"Bang bang bang bang—"

The title, immediately changed.

From [Stinking Dead Corpses], it turned into [Rotten Pulp Dead Corpses].

Following the change in the title, four information bars appeared.

[(F+ Grade) Fairly Balanced: Not a bad sense of balance for movement.]

[(B Grade) (Red) Intermediate Psychokinesis Conduction: You can transfer "energy" into a tool with minimal loss, success rate average.]

[(F- Grade) Deadly Weakness to Poison: They say talking about toxicity without dosage is hooliganism, but with this person, you can discuss toxicity directly.]

[(F Grade) Crisp Ear Sounds: Ability to freely control the muscles inside the cochlea and make a "click click click" noise. What? What's the use? Isn't that cool?]

Four skills ready for duplication.

None were the "powers" Chen Yu wanted.

But the ability of [(B Grade) (Red) Intermediate Psychokinesis Conduction] was obviously not bad.

Without hesitation, Chen Yu immediately reached out to click.

[Would you like—— skip]

[(B Grade) (Red—— skip]

[Confirm Copy]

A familiar warmth, swept over his entire body.

A "small door" inside his mind, vaguely began to open.

About three minutes later, the warmth disappeared.

Chen Yu raised the shovel in his hand, tentatively moving with a thought.

"Hum—"

The metal head of the shovel instantly lit up with a faint blue light.

"It works."

Concealing his power, he turned his attention to the other corpse.

This one belonged to the "One-Eyed Man."

A complete D+ Grade Transcendent.

Inside him was the power of "Banshee's Wail," as well as a Body Refinement Secret Skill which started from at least the "Eight Layers."

Both were what he needed most at the moment.

Especially the latter!

In this world's Transcendent community, an individual has only one kind of superpower. Not to mention the difference in power levels, the only thing that can distinguish the strengths and weaknesses of a Transcendent is their Body Refinement Secret Skill! (Or Soul Nurturing Skill)

For example—Defying Fate Skill.

The First Layer of Contralife Skill corresponds to an F- Grade Transcendent.

The Second Layer corresponds to F.

The Third Layer, F+.

The Fourth Layer, E-.

And so on.

As for the level of superpower, in the end, it's just an "extra" ability of a Transcendent.

A voluptuous female instructor once encouraged Chen.

She spoke of a giant in the human Transcendent realm with an F- Grade superpower—when going to the bathroom, his sense of smell increased a hundredfold.

Such a superpower is obviously useless in combat.

But with Fourteen Layers of Contralife Skill, he is still a genuine B Grade Transcendent.

Stomp your foot, and there will be a "earthquake" in the capital for three seconds.

So, what Chen Yu needs most now is this kind of high-level Body Refinement Secret Skill.

If at this moment he had the body of an A+ Grade Transcendent and, by luck, "brushed" out the opponent's Defying Fate Skill,

then he could charge into the capital city tonight and have a one-on-one PK with the Great Emperor...

His thoughts returned to the present.

Chen Yu squatted down, looked at the One-Eyed Man's corpse, and his brows were tightly locked.

Based on his current understanding of his "Golden Finger," he knew that the greater the change in the target's title, the more and better skills would be "brushed" out.

If it was just a change from [Stinking Dead Corpses] to [Rotten Pulp Dead Corpses], it would be difficult to "brush" out good things.

"How can I make the change in its title even greater?"

"..."

"!!"

After a moment, Chen Yu had a flash of inspiration, slapped his thigh, immediately unleashed his power, and dashed off.

Half an hour later, he returned.

In his hand, he now had a bucket of gasoline and a lighter.
