When the surrounding seawater turned red, another giant fish entered He Yu’s field of vision.

This giant fish was clearly different from the one He Yu was familiar with. Its eye sockets were blood-red, its tail violently slapping the surface of the sea. Its gills opened and closed at an astonishing speed, even faintly emitting smoke from the excessive heat.

—It was in a terrifying berserk state.

The giant fish beneath He Yu paused slightly.

Clearly, it was wary.

Giant fish were both mini-bosses and members of the same species. They would kill one another over competition, but they were not natural enemies. Their own kind was not part of their diet, and they had no habit of attacking on sight.

Moreover, facing a berserk giant fish, the giant fish He Yu was riding did not particularly want to approach.

—No need to eat, not an enemy, so why fight?

There was simply no reason.

He Yu glanced at the giant fish before shifting his gaze into the distance, toward Wanrenzhan and the others retreating onto small boats.

This was He Yu’s first time seeing “aliens.”

They differed somewhat from Blue Star humans, and even among themselves their differences were enormous.

Most of them were very tall. Quite a few were over six feet three or even six feet six, and they were exceptionally muscular. One look at their physiques was enough to tell how much explosive power hid beneath those swollen muscles.

Their clothing styles were also completely different. Some wore outfits similar to tactical jackets, some wore armor, and others wore skintight suits made from unknown materials. Their hair came in red, yellow, blue, white—

And naturally, black as well.

The man standing in the center wore armor. He had yellow hair, a conspicuous scar across his face, and an axe clenched tightly in his hand as he stared viciously at the giant fish.

—This was the previous champion, Wanrenzhan.

From the original owner’s memories and the livestream comments, He Yu had gathered some information.

Wanrenzhan came from the Main Planet. During the previous season, he slaughtered his way to the very end, becoming champion and successfully leaving Top Talent Show alive.

However, something unexpected had apparently occurred during that season. There seemed to be controversy around how “worthy” Wanrenzhan’s title was, so many people objected to his victory. Thus, he signed up for this season again to prove himself once more.

The Federation had sealed the specific details, and Blue Star had failed to investigate further.

Whatever had happened previously, the fact that he survived until the end already proved his strength was extraordinary.

Besides Wanrenzhan, another person also drew He Yu’s attention.

Silver hair. Silver eyes. Barely around five feet tall.

Very easy to identify.

This person possessed mechanical arms and mechanical legs, wearing a helmet that exposed their face. Their features were exquisitely perfect, yet they remained expressionless from beginning to end. They could stand effortlessly atop the water without relying on anything.

—A Mechanical Planet resident.

Main Planet District Two. A planet populated entirely by machines.

Blue Star had only just connected to the Universe Federation, and because it was unimportant and overlooked, the information they possessed was extremely limited.

Still, they understood the basics.

The Universe Federation divided star domains into four categories.

The first category was the Main Planets, a total of five worlds collectively known as the Five Main Districts.

District One was the Battle Planet.

District Two was the Mechanical Planet.

District Three was the Heritage Planet.

District Four was the Biological Planet.

District Five was the Weapons Planet.

The Main Planets possessed transcendent status. They were places all races dreamed of reaching.

Even establishing an embassy on a Main Planet was considered the glory of an entire civilization.

The second category was ordinary planets. There were many of them. While they were not as powerful as the Main Planets, people there could still learn countless things and potentially step into the Main Planets one day to become supreme experts.

The third category was chaotic planets, where all conflict, filth, chaos, and opportunity existed together.

The final category was trash planets, places even worse than chaotic planets. Almost no one dared to go there, and almost nobody had any opportunity to leave.

Blue Star currently wished only to join the Universe Federation as an ordinary planet.

He Yu slowly withdrew his gaze.

—Compared to the Federation, Blue Star truly was too weak.

No wonder so many people desperately wanted to enter Top Talent Show.

This was opportunity itself.

A trial ground where one could obtain every kind of powerful ability.

After He Yu finished observing Wanrenzhan and the others, they still had not noticed He Yu at all.

“Fuck, another giant fish actually showed up!” Wanrenzhan cursed.

The others looked equally grim.

Fight?

They had already exhausted almost all their energy. There was no way they could win.

Run?

They lacked even the energy to escape.

Annie’s face had turned deathly pale.

The few people fell silent briefly, minds racing frantically for a plan.

At this moment, the livestream comments were already overflowing with insults toward He Yu—

“This trash-planet bastard is inhuman!”

“He’s trying to use the giant fish to kill Wanrenzhan and the others. Too sinister!”

“Fuck, combat power of only 2. The only thing he can do is play disgusting little tricks!”

“I’m gonna curse this trash from a garbage planet to de—huh?!”

“Huh?!!”

“Huh—”

...

The comments suddenly shifted.

Watching the livestream, Ke Ai’s eyes widened.

On-screen, He Yu threw out his “precious,” exceptionally sharp, giant-fish-controlling belt buckle.

Straight at the berserk giant fish.

What could a belt buckle possibly do?

Such a tiny object—even if it was extremely sharp, at most it would leave a negligible wound.

—But he aimed for the eye.

—And he fucking hit it.

“ROOOAR—!”

Bloody tears streamed from the berserk giant fish’s eye as it let out a furious howl.

A berserk giant fish was essentially running on its last breath, already at the end of its rope. It had been vigilantly staring at the newly arrived giant fish with eyes wide open, unblinking.

It never noticed the tiny human atop the giant fish’s head.

And even less did it expect that little human to suddenly attack with such perfect accuracy. The sharp metal buckle sliced across its eyeball, and blood immediately poured out.

The berserk giant fish had already lost rationality. Injured in the eye, it immediately lunged toward the other giant fish.

Giant Fish: ???

It did not understand.

It could not comprehend.

But if the berserk giant fish attacked it, then naturally it would retaliate.

“Smack!”

“BOOM—”

The two giant fish began fighting.

A battle between giant fish.

Towering waves. Violent turbulence. Heaven and earth spinning.

Watching this scene, the universe audience nearly stopped breathing, eyes locked tightly onto the screen.

Ke Ai clenched his clothes tightly, eyes wide as he searched desperately for He Yu among the two monstrous giant fish, just like countless others.

【This guy is courting death!!】

【He definitely got crushed into paste!】

The comments exploded with speculation.

Ke Ai thought the same.

For some inexplicable reason, a trace of complicated emotion surfaced inside him.

That trash-planet contestant whose flexibility was astonishing...

That thin, beautiful man who cleverly controlled a giant fish...

Contestant 2333, He Yu...

Had he died just like that?

A trash-planet person was still just a trash-planet person. Even brilliance would only be temporary.

Ke Ai shook his head, preparing to switch livestreams.

—Wait. Something was wrong.

If He Yu had died, then his livestream should have already gone black.

Ke Ai’s eyes widened again.

He stared fixedly at the screen, searching desperately through the savage battle between the two giant fish for that tiny figure.

And then he saw him.

That small, frail figure reappeared atop the giant fish’s head.

His body had reached the absolute limit of flexibility. Whenever the berserk giant fish bit down or smashed toward him, his body seemed boneless, slipping lightly beneath the giant fish’s fin.

If this had been land, there would have been no way he could survive amid the clash of two giant fish.

But this was water.

Water had buoyancy.

Using the sea itself, he barely managed to evade.

Among crashing waves, suffocating currents, spinning impacts, and violent surges tossing him around, he relied on buoyancy and waves to avoid every attack aimed his way.

The berserk giant fish bit down again.

He Yu’s body slid aside and vanished from where he had been standing. Then, when the giant fish leapt upward, he kicked off with his foot, borrowing the surging waves to flip through the air and land back atop the giant fish’s head.

—Extreme freestyle dancing.

—Champion swimmer.

“BOOM BOOM BOOM!!”

Within the increasingly brutal battle, he darted between destruction itself.

At this moment, viewers no longer watched the fighting giant fish.

Nor did they watch Wanrenzhan and the others struggling to maintain balance on the violently rocking boat.

—They searched for He Yu within the gaps.

They saw him wearing those glasses seemingly “grown” onto the bridge of his nose, eyes focused entirely on evasion. His body moved with unbelievable flexibility. Several times he appeared moments away from being swallowed by massive waves, yet somehow he still escaped.

Countless viewers poured into He Yu’s livestream, emotionally following every thrilling dodge.

Within such a deadly environment, there was not the slightest fear on his face.

It was as though he were merely playing a jumping game rather than desperately surviving amidst giant fish slaughter.

In his hand, he was even still carrying that string of dried fish threaded together with yarn...

At this moment, the number of viewers in He Yu’s livestream rose to terrifying levels. Countless people had come directly from Wanrenzhan’s livestream, and He Yu’s stream thumbnail now stood side-by-side with Wanrenzhan’s in the central featured viewing section.

And the people still inside Wanrenzhan’s livestream—

Were also watching this man.

—Who was he?

—Why was he so insane?!

“ROOOAR—!”

The berserk giant fish released another furious howl. Its body had already reached its absolute limit.

At this point, all of its hatred was focused entirely on the giant fish before it.

It charged again, tail slamming downward, massive jaws biting viciously as sharp teeth gleamed coldly.

The giant fish abruptly dodged sideways, yet still ended up bitten.

The intense pain caused it to instinctively bite back, tearing away a chunk of flesh!

After the two giant fish clashed violently, they separated and whipped their tails at one another.

That chunk of flesh dropped into the sea.

He Yu leapt forward.

The belt without its buckle snapped outward from his hand, hooking the piece of meat.

Comments: !!! At a time like this, you’re still hooking meat?!

Wei Jiaguo nearly coughed up blood.

The moment He Yu hooked the fish meat, the giant fish noticed him.

Giant Fish: ?

Confusion flashed through its eyes, unable to understand why there was suddenly a human here.

But instinctively, it still opened its mouth, intending to suck He Yu into its stomach.

Danger!!

Ke Ai covered his mouth, his heartbeat nearly stopping in that instant.

But He Yu remained completely calm.

With perfect composure, he tossed the berserk giant fish’s flesh directly into the giant fish’s mouth. His body flipped through the air, and just as the giant fish’s teeth shredded part of his pants, he reappeared atop the giant fish’s head.

Thrilling! Dangerous!

Haa—

Ke Ai finally exhaled.

Yet before that breath had fully escaped, the berserk giant fish attacked again.

Ke Ai’s breath instantly lodged back in his throat as he stared fixedly at the screen.

By the time the giant fish realized it had swallowed flesh from its own species, the meat had already reached its stomach...

According to the competition’s setting, these giant fish loved human flesh most of all and did not eat their own kind.

But...

Giant Fish: The taste... actually seems pretty good?

The berserk giant fish bit down again.

This giant fish suddenly twisted around and bit back as well.

Unlike before, when it merely bit and released—

This time, it started eating.

And the more it ate, the happier it became. Its eyes grew brighter and brighter as it continued biting along the wound it had already opened.

“ROOOAR—”

Alongside the berserk giant fish’s final miserable scream, its body gradually weakened. The blood-red glow in its eyes faded as they slowly closed.

The giant fish He Yu rode had won.

As the berserk giant fish collapsed, several objects dropped from its body.

Holding the string of dried fish in one hand, He Yu skillfully dove into the water with the belt in the other, retrieving the dropped equipment one after another. Without even looking at them, he shoved them directly into the competition-issued backpack.

—The backpack could only store equipment. Before this, it had been completely empty.

As for the giant fish, it did not care about equipment at all.

It was happily devouring flesh.

He Yu had opened the door to an entirely new world for it. To this giant fish, the flesh of its own kind was not only delicious—it was packed with energy.

Thus, the scene viewers saw at this moment became—

At the center of the screen, one giant fish was happily eating another giant fish.

On one side stood Wanrenzhan and the others struggling atop a broken boat.

On the other side stood a thin figure stepping atop the giant fish, holding dried fish threaded together with yarn in one hand while cheerfully fishing up the three dropped pieces of equipment one by one with his belt.

Audience: “......”

After a very long silence, the comments finally produced a single line—

“This yarn quality is pretty good... where was it made?”

At the same time, Blue Star’s number one trending topic became—
