This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Melvi was dead.

Yet the audience felt no regret.

True, he had been a powerhouse.

But he had tried to kill He Yu.

Compared to Melvi...

He Yu mattered far more.

Now He Yu was alive while Melvi was dead.

The audience had only one reaction—

Joy.

"Yuyu's okay! Thank goodness!"

"My god... He Yu is unbelievably incredible."

"Holy shit, that's amazing. As expected of He Yu."

"He really... completely exceeded everyone's imagination. Without Zhen Xing and the others protecting him, I thought he was finished this time. I never imagined he'd survive relying solely on himself..."

...

He Yu had survived.

Countless people were relieved.

Countless people were also stunned.

When the Top Talent Show had first begun, back in the preliminary selection, everyone mocked him for being a weakling.

Two combat power.

People joked that a single finger could poke him to death.

Some even joked that Wanrenzhan could split more than sixty He Yus in half with one swing of his axe.

Time had passed.

Now they had reached the semifinals.

He Yu still had only two combat power.

Yet the audience's opinion had completely changed.

When he used Taiji to redirect attacks, everyone had been astonished.

Even so, they still claimed he only possessed defensive ability, not offensive power.

Then...

He forged the Nameless Sword.

In an instant, he transformed from the greatest support into the greatest King of the Wild, personally cutting down the production team's interference.

Was that his limit?

No.

Without Taiji.

Without acting as a support.

Without becoming the King of the Wild.

With only two combat power...

He could still kill an expert.

He Yu—

Someone who constantly shattered the audience's understanding.

Against an expert like Melvi, in a situation like that...

He had needed absolute composure.

Absolute clarity.

A single mistake at any stage would have meant failure.

If He Yu had misused his equipment, Melvi would have discovered it instantly.

He Yu would have died.

If the long needle had failed to strike the vital point, then with only two combat power, He Yu wouldn't even have been able to pierce Melvi's defense.

If he hadn't immediately hammered the needle deeper with the broken sword, Melvi would have recovered and broken free.

He Yu still would have died.

Every step had been crucial.

Only He Yu could have devised such a plan from the very beginning—

And then executed every detail flawlessly.

Even with two combat power...

He was still He Yu.

For him...

Combat ability had never been determined by combat power.

Larry struggled to suppress his excitement, his face flushed red.

"He Yu... just as expected of He Yu..."

Even Qiao smiled.

"Exactly. Just as expected of He Yu."

"The rules of this instance couldn't kill him."

"We can relax now."

He paused before shaking his head.

"We worried for nothing."

"How could He Yu possibly lose here?"

Their friend had always been the most rational of the three.

Unlike Larry and Qiao, they had never admired He Yu unconditionally.

But after hearing He Yu's words just now...

Their friend remained silent for a long time before quietly saying,

"I think I finally understand..."

"I understand why Qiong and the others trust He Yu."

"I understand why Zhen Xing and the others are willing to risk their lives for him."

Larry curled his lips.

"You only just figured that out?"

He exchanged a glance with Qiao.

Both saw smiles in each other's eyes.

He Yu had said...

He couldn't guarantee anyone would advance.

He couldn't guarantee anyone would survive.

Of course he couldn't.

He couldn't even guarantee that he himself would survive long enough to enter the next instance.

How could he promise someone else's future?

But...

As long as he was alive...

As long as his teammates were alive...

He would never abandon any of them.

In Kill the Prisoners, Zhen Xing and Wanrenzhan had already been destined to die.

He Yu forcefully brought them back.

He also led Eugene, Qiong, and the others safely out of the instance.

In Are They Teammates?

He didn't just pursue his own victory.

He wanted everyone to advance.

Many viewers hadn't understood at first.

Later they realized why He Yu had asked Blue Eyes to isolate the entire instance.

It wasn't only to stop the mastermind from interfering.

It was also to prevent the production team from assigning him to Camp One.

If the instance had remained under outside interference...

His "Third Camp" bug would most likely have been corrected.

He would have been reassigned to Camp One.

Camp Two would then have been eliminated.

He Yu refused to allow that.

He wanted everyone who trusted him...

To survive.

That...

Was He Yu.

He would do everything in his power to protect the lives of the teammates who trusted him.

Even if they died while fighting to advance...

He would pursue vengeance to the ends of heaven and the depths of the underworld.

He would avenge them.

Cheng Zhao's death...

He Yu had never forgotten it.

As long as he remained alive...

He would continue searching for the mastermind.

He would uncover the truth.

How could someone like He Yu...

Not deserve your trust?

How could someone like him...

Not be worth fighting for?

Many viewers switched to other livestreams.

Zhen Xing had just killed another contestant.

The two had met unexpectedly.

The other contestant had originally intended to launch a sneak attack.

But the instant they recognized Zhen Xing...

They turned and fled.

Running for their life.

Zhen Xing's Cube was already in motion.

It harvested another life without the slightest hesitation.

That contestant was eliminated.

Without slowing down, Zhen Xing kicked off the ground, leaped into the air, caught the returning Cube, and immediately continued racing through the maze.

He needed to fulfill the instance requirements as quickly as possible...

Before anyone attacked He Yu.

Elsewhere...

Qiong's threads ensnared another contestant.

That contestant had attacked her ruthlessly.

Realizing they couldn't beat her, they immediately begged,

"Please spare me! I'll give you my equipment! Whatever you want! Please let me live!"

Qiong remained expressionless.

"I only want your life."

Her fingers tightened.

Another life was harvested.

Truthfully...

Qiong had never cared much about killing.

If He Yu wanted everyone to cooperate, she could avoid killing a single person.

If advancing required killing...

She would show no mercy.

She held no personal attachment toward taking lives.

If this had been the old Qiong...

She would have leisurely wandered through the maze, casually killing anyone she encountered.

Instead...

She was desperately trying to fulfill the instance requirements as quickly as possible.

Everything she was doing...

Was for He Yu's advancement.

After killing one person...

Qiong sprang lightly from the ground.

With several swift jumps, she disappeared into another tunnel.

Meanwhile...

In a different passage...

Gedai was still searching for an opponent.

Suddenly, as though sensing something, he stopped.

His upright ears twitched.

He pressed himself against the tunnel wall, holding his breath as he listened carefully.

The sound disappeared.

Complete silence.

Danger.

Gedai's pupils contracted.

He instantly raised his mechanical arm—

Blocking another mechanical arm that came crashing toward him.

The two attacks collided.

Sparks flew.

Their mechanical arms locked together.

Both frowned simultaneously.

"You?!"

Gedai immediately lost his temper.

Rolling his eyes, he lowered his mechanical arm, clearly annoyed.

Eugene wore the exact same expression.

He lowered his own arm as well.

"So even in the Infinite Maze I run into you."

"What rotten luck," Gedai complained.

Eugene smiled politely.

"I was just thinking exactly the same thing."

Did Gedai think Eugene wanted to meet him?

He'd much rather have encountered someone he could eliminate.

Gedai frowned.

"What were you sneaking around for?"

Eugene answered expressionlessly,

"You're the one sneaking around."

"Hiding there waiting to ambush me."

He stepped backward.

"Only one minute."

"More than half of it has already passed."

"I'm leaving."

Gedai brushed past him.

He allowed Eugene to dash straight past without trying to stop him.

The two walked away in opposite directions.

Neither looked back.

Neither found anything strange about it.

The audience, however...

Was completely stunned.

Eugene and Gedai had always been sworn rivals.

They already hated each other before entering the competition.

Inside the competition...

They fought constantly.

Yet now...

Though they grumbled and insulted one another...

Neither attacked.

Instead...

They turned their backs on each other and walked away.

That alone...

Would have been unimaginable before.

How could they possibly expose their backs to each other?

The old Eugene and Gedai would never have dared.

Neither would the audience have believed it possible.

Yet now...

It was happening before their eyes.

They were racing to complete the instance requirements.

To secure advancement.

They refused to attack teammates who had already been recognized as allies—

Even if they didn't particularly like each other.

Zhen Xing.

Ling Buchen.

Bo Jingshan.

Wanrenzhan.

Eugene.

Gedai.

Duan Yuchen.

Siya.

Qiong.

Zhante.

Yuan Ze.

Tang Ke.

Whenever any two of them met...

None attacked the other.

Because under He Yu's influence...

They had truly become a team.

【Bullet Screen: "Waaah... camaraderie always moves me more than fighting ever could!"】

【Bullet Screen: "It's so heartwarming... trusting someone with your back, being willing to sacrifice for them, sincerely hoping they'll survive too..."】

【Bullet Screen: "I used to think the killing was the exciting part. Now I love the warmth hidden inside the slaughter even more."】

【Bullet Screen: "Because compassion amid slaughter is so much more precious. Every one of those bonds was bought with their lives..."】

【Bullet Screen: "Like He Yu and Blue Eyes?"】

【Bullet Screen: "They're not that united. They still kill other people just to keep He Yu alive..."】

【Bullet Screen: "??? Where did that idiot come from? This competition has always been decided by strength. If you're weaker, getting eliminated is perfectly normal."】

【Bullet Screen: "Exactly. Those people aren't teammates. A teammate is someone willing to trust He Yu and entrust him with their back. Everyone else isn't. Just look at Melvi—even if they'd let him live and accepted him into the team, he'd still betray them!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Looking at them now... I really don't want anyone in this team to die."】

—

Some viewers switched to other livestreams.

Many more remained in He Yu's.

They praised his combat ability.

They admired his devotion to his teammates...

And his teammates' determination to protect him.

But someone soon noticed...

He Yu was staring at the Morphing Equipment with an extremely strange expression.

Then...

He placed it on top of his head.

The audience:

"......"

Wait.

Wait a second.

He Yu...

What are you doing?

【Bullet Screen: "What's he doing? Don't tell me he's pulling the same trick again?"】

【Bullet Screen: "Turning it into a mirror? That won't fool anyone in a direct fight."】

Just as someone made that guess...

He Yu transformed the Morphing Equipment into—

An HP bar.

He placed both hands on either end of the "HP bar."

Then...

Pulled.

The tiny finger-length bar became two fingers long.

Then three.

The audience:

"......"

He Yu didn't stop.

He stretched it until it was as wide as his palm.

Paused.

Then kept pulling.

Soon...

It was as wide as his head.

He balanced it on top of his head.

Surely that was enough?

No.

He kept stretching it.

Longer.

As long as Eugene's.

Still not enough.

Longer again.

As long as Zhen Xing's.

He still didn't stop.

The audience was speechless.

Just...

How long was he planning to make that thing?

One minute later...

He Yu's HP bar was complete.

He had stretched it into an absurdly enormous strip.

It almost reached both ends of the tunnel.

Whether viewed from nearby or from afar...

It was impossible to miss.

Almost painfully conspicuous.

In the dim tunnel...

He Yu looked like he had mounted an enormous fluorescent light on his head.

The audience:

"................"

Even a dog would fall silent after seeing this.

Completely satisfied, He Yu lowered his hands.

He clapped them together lightly.

"Perfect."

"It needed to be this long."

An HP bar that made opponents feel safe...

Wasn't very elegant.

He preferred one that inspired absolute despair.

After all...

If I can't beat you to death...

I'll scare you to death.

With the ridiculously oversized HP bar balanced atop his head...

He Yu calmly and leisurely continued forward.

【Bullet Screen: "......"】

【Bullet Screen: "Everyone knows He Yu's combat power. They've all seen that microscopic HP bar that needed a magnifying glass. Now he suddenly shows up wearing this... won't everyone immediately realize it's fake?"】

A long silence followed.

Then someone finally replied—

【"If it were anyone else, sure. But this is He Yu. He could convince people the dead were alive. Honestly, I think Zhen Xing and the others are worrying far too much. Even if He Yu just keeps hiding, he'll still make the top fifty..."】

After watching the way He Yu had just fought...

And this shameless fake HP bar trick...

Nobody believed He Yu lacked the ability to reach the top fifty on his own.

Because...

He was He Yu.

Wasn't Melvi killed precisely because he talked too much with He Yu?

Now imagine seeing He Yu...

With that ridiculous HP bar.

Wouldn't anyone want to ask him a few questions?

And once the conversation started...

Could they still kill He Yu?

The audience collectively fell silent.

—

Wrapped inside the snow-white Frost Beast coat, He Yu's delicate face seemed almost luminous beneath the dim tunnel light.

His skin glowed with a jade-like softness.

His black eyes were mesmerizing.

His features were flawless.

Every movement carried effortless elegance.

He walked at an unhurried pace.

He made no effort to hide his footsteps.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

Each step seemed to land directly on people's hearts.

His rimless glasses rested casually upon his nose.

The beauty mark beneath his eye shifted faintly.

A slight smile curved his lips.

Rather than crossing a deadly Infinite Maze...

He looked as though he were strolling down a fashion runway.

Completely at odds with his slender, refined figure...

Was the enormous HP bar above his head.

It stretched so wide it seemed ready to burst through the tunnel itself.

It dominated the entire passage.

An overwhelming display of pressure.

This...

Was He Yu.

Ignoring everything around him.

Ignoring whether anyone else was nearby.

He walked gracefully.

Lazily.

While the gigantic HP bar spanning the entire tunnel radiated outrageous dominance.

At least...

The two contestants he encountered next were utterly stunned.

At a fork ahead...

Two contestants were already fighting.

He Yu had heard them long ago.

Yet he never slowed.

He simply continued walking straight toward them.

Completely ignoring the battle.

【Bullet Screen: "!!!"】

【Bullet Screen: "He Yu! That HP bar is fake! Either one of them could kill you!"】

【Bullet Screen: "Forget killing him. One accidental scrape from their equipment would finish him."】

Naturally...

No one touched He Yu.

Because that absurd HP bar was impossible to ignore.

The moment the two contestants saw it...

Both stopped fighting.

He Yu ignored both them and the Bullet Screen.

He continued forward without even glancing at them.

The two contestants:

"......"

One swallowed hard.

Before he could even identify who it was...

He saw only the gigantic HP bar.

He immediately turned and fled.

Running for his life.

He disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Only after getting far away did confusion strike him.

"...Wait."

"Does this instance even have someone with an HP bar that long?"

One contestant had fled.

The other remained rooted to the spot.

Standing at the fork...

He stared blankly at He Yu.

As though completely petrified.

His feet refused to move.

He neither attacked...

Nor ran.

Tap.

Tap.

Tap.

He Yu approached leisurely.

As he passed, he lifted his eyelids slightly.

"Move."

The matter-of-fact tone nearly stopped the audience's breathing.

The contestant:

"......"

His eyes never left the gigantic HP bar.

Swallowing nervously, he instinctively stepped aside.

Without another glance...

He Yu walked straight past him.

The monstrous HP bar nearly scraped the tunnel walls as he slowly disappeared into another passage.

Only after He Yu had gone...

Did the contestant suddenly shout,

"Holy shit?!"

The audience:

"......"

That fake HP bar...

It scared one contestant into fleeing.

It scared another completely stupid.

Wasn't there even one smart contestant who would notice something was wrong?

Of course there was.

A while later...

He Yu encountered another contestant.

The contestant had originally intended to attack him.

Instead...

The gigantic HP bar left him frozen.

He stared at it blankly.

After a long pause...

His pupils contracted.

"He Yu?"

"What's going on with your HP bar?"

He distinctly remembered...

He Yu's HP bar had been tiny.

And nobody else's had ever looked this outrageous.

He Yu looked at him expressionlessly.

Then...

He raised an eyebrow.

His voice became strangely enticing.

"Want to know?"

"Come here."

"I'll tell you."

The contestant:

"......"

Unable to tear his eyes away from the HP bar, he shouted,

"That HP bar has to be fake!"

"You've always been full of tricks!"

"I can't trust—"

He Yu suddenly lunged forward, interrupting him.

His eyes turned icy.

"That's right."

"It's fake."

"Come."

"Become part of my HP bar."

"Help me make it even bigger."

"Then you'll find out whether it's fake."

He reached out with his bare hand.

【Bullet Screen: "What is He Yu doing?! He can't beat this guy!"】

Only a few such comments appeared...

Before the contestant turned around and bolted.

He fled in absolute terror without daring to look back.

Only a cloud of dust remained behind.

The audience:

"......"

Someone switched to that contestant's livestream just in time to hear him gasp,

"My god..."

"He Yu can absorb people into his HP bar after killing them!"

"That's terrifying!"

"I have to stay away from him!"

The audience:

"................"

And so...

He Yu wandered through the maze with his obviously fake HP bar.

Nearly everyone who saw him fled immediately.

No one dared stay.

Even those who suspected something...

Were frightened away by just a sentence or two.

In the dim tunnels...

With that absurd HP bar overhead...

And that unsettling smile on his face...

Everyone who met him ran.

Not once did he encounter someone willing to stay.

At first the audience couldn't understand.

Later...

Watching the reactions of the contestants, they finally realized why.

Someone as intelligent as He Yu...

If he were going to fake something...

Would he really choose such an obviously fake HP bar?

His combat power might be low.

But his intelligence was terrifying.

He had mastered the energy system.

His hidden cards seemed endless.

No one dared underestimate him.

Even if they suspected it...

They still chose to run.

After all...

They could still advance without killing He Yu.

But if that HP bar happened to be real...

He could flatten them with a single slap.

Someone like He Yu...

Actually finding a way to increase his HP bar this much...

Didn't seem entirely impossible.

When facing He Yu...

No one dared gamble.

Running away...

Was the safer option.

And so...

Because nobody dared attack him...

He Yu happily wandered through the maze beneath his absurdly exaggerated HP bar.

—

【Red eliminated! Instance countdown: 8 hours, 23 minutes, 9 seconds. Remaining contestants: 72/100.】

Twenty-eight contestants had already died.

That number alone showed how brutal the fighting inside the maze had become.

There were still more than eight hours remaining.

Eliminating another twenty-two people wasn't difficult.

But as the available advancement spots dwindled...

Contestants with lower combat power would begin hiding desperately.

Trying not to be discovered.

Everyone was tense.

Zhen Xing and the others raced through the tunnels while worrying about He Yu's safety.

Some contestants fought.

Others hid...

Hoping to survive into the top fifty without doing anything.

Just moments ago...

He Yu had encountered one such contestant.

Based on the length of the contestant's HP bar, they were probably around fiftieth place.

Unfortunately...

They had wandered into the most confusing section of the maze.

After getting hopelessly lost for hours...

They had finally escaped.

Ready to make their mark.

The very first person they encountered...

Was He Yu.

He Yu.

With the gigantic HP bar.

The contestant stared upward in shock.

"HP bars can actually become longer?"

He Yu nodded seriously.

"Of course."

"As your combat power and defense increase..."

"Your HP bar becomes longer."

【Bullet Screen: "...If I didn't know the truth, I'd believe him."】

The contestant's eyes widened.

"So..."

"Exactly how many people have you killed?"

"How much equipment have you collected?"

He Yu smiled.

"Take a guess."

The contestant didn't guess.

He immediately turned around and fled...

Straight back into the most chaotic section of the maze that he had just spent hours escaping.

Moments ago it had seemed like the most dangerous place imaginable.

Now...

It felt wonderfully safe.

He had made up his mind.

He was hiding there until the instance ended.

Mom...

The outside world was terrifying.

Everyone's HP bars were ridiculously huge!

【Bullet Screen: "I've got a feeling this scared contestant might actually survive the semifinals simply because they're so good at hiding..."】

He Yu rested briefly.

Then continued onward beneath his enormous HP bar.

He looked like...

An AFK player walking through the map.

Some viewers couldn't help asking,

【"Seriously? Is there really no one who can expose He Yu's scam?"】

At that exact moment...

The whistle in He Yu's hand flickered.

A faint sound rang out.

He lowered his eyes.

Elsewhere...

Siya abruptly stopped running.

He Yu?

Thanks to her exceptional perception, Siya had already encountered several teammates in the maze.

Zhen Xing.

Ling Buchen.

Yuan Ze.

Tang Ke.

She had met all four.

After briefly exchanging information...

None of them had seen He Yu.

She had assumed He Yu was hiding somewhere.

Instead...

He had been walking around the maze the entire time.

Using the whistle to determine the direction...

Siya immediately turned and sprinted toward him.

She moved incredibly fast.

Fighting alone...

He Yu hadn't run into danger, had he?

She would feel much better after checking on him herself.

As she ran...

She thought she should tell He Yu to stop wandering around.

Find somewhere safe and hide.

There was only one minute.

Would there still be enough time to prepare a safe area for him?

Thinking all the while...

She continued sprinting.

Fortunately...

She and He Yu happened to be in neighboring tunnels.

There weren't many intersections between them.

Following the whistle's signal...

Siya found He Yu directly.

"He Yu, are you—"

Her voice stopped abruptly.

He Yu looked up.

Standing against the backlight...

His slender figure supported an HP bar so enormous it nearly burst out of the tunnel itself.

He smiled brilliantly.

"Hi."

Siya:

"???"
