This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

The barrage in He Yu’s group livestream exploded after a brief moment of blank silence—

“Holy shit, holy shit!! I never thought I’d live to see someone beat a Maze Beast!”

“What the hell is up with He Yu? I’m actually interested in the system he keeps talking about now.”

“My god, can eight combat power really be this strong?!”

“...But He Yu didn’t fight, did he? Wanrenzhan was the one who fought.”

“But Wanrenzhan doesn’t have the strength to beat a Maze Beast either! He Yu definitely did something to him!”

“Um... does that slogan actually work?”

“What planet is He Yu from again?”

“Is Blue Star actually insanely powerful? There’s no way it’s really a garbage planet, right?”

...

The Federation King summoned the Secretary-General.

“How’s the investigation into Blue Star martial arts going?”

The Secretary-General replied, “Based on current findings, martial arts only appear in Blue Star novels. They seem to be fictional.”

“Oh? So they’re fake?”

The King pointed at the replay on the screen.

“Does that look fake to you?”

His voice gradually sharpened, his eyes turning cold.

The Secretary-General immediately straightened.

“The information may be inaccurate. Blue Star is probably hiding its true depth. Some supposedly fictional content appears to exist in reality there as well, such as Shaolin Kung Fu, Wudang Mountain, and similar things.”

The King said coldly, “Keep investigating.”

“Yes, sir!”

The Secretary-General hurriedly turned to leave.

The King added:

“Investigate quietly. Don’t alert Blue Star, and don’t let anyone else go there. If this is real, Blue Star may not be simple. Don’t startle the snake in the grass, and don’t let the other Federation factions discover it.”

Within the Federation, there was a King.

But there were also many other forces whose influence rivaled his own.

Mechanical Planet. Inheritance Planet. Battle Planet.

None of them accepted anyone’s authority. The balance of power was chaotic.

If Blue Star martial arts were truly powerful and another faction discovered it first...

That would be disastrous.

And if Blue Star martial arts were real, then Blue Star might be filled with hidden experts. That made reckless action even more dangerous.

So the investigation had to remain secret.

“Yes, sir!”

After the Secretary-General left, the King stared at the screen and muttered:

“Blue Star He God, boundless magical power, vast divine abilities, eternal glory for ten thousand generations... Does this incantation actually work?”

The King wasn’t the only one curious.

Across every corner of the Federation, people were trying to recite the chant.

—He Yu was the one who said it. If they repeated it, it should work too, right?

—Why does something feel wrong about this?

Or maybe their posture while chanting was incorrect?

The trick He Yu had revealed this time genuinely shocked the Federation.

The formation from the first stage.

The “Star-Sucking Technique” from this stage.

And when He Yu explained it, Ling Buchen had looked as though he completely understood.

All of that made countless people curious about—and wary of—Blue Star martial arts.

Meanwhile, on Blue Star...

Wei Jiaguo looked blankly at Ye Kaijun.

“Formations? Star-Sucking Technique? Does Blue Star... actually have those things?”

Ye Kaijun replied helplessly:

“...I-I don’t know either.”

Zheng Ke scratched his head.

“Aren’t those all from novels? How exactly did He Yu use them?”

Novels?

Use them?

A flash of inspiration struck.

Wei Jiaguo suddenly shot to his feet.

“He Yu figured it out himself!”

Taking a deep breath, he shouted:

“Secretary! Hurry! Tell the research institute to stop studying combat power and start studying the system He Yu described!”

Every Blue Star citizen understood one thing—

He Yu’s system was unquestionably superior to the combat power system.

Ye Kaijun finally realized it too.

His breathing stalled.

After a long moment, he said:

“He Yu’s understanding of combat power has reached this level? How does a little celebrity know something like this?”

Wei Jiaguo smiled bitterly.

“A little celebrity? Isn’t he also playing everyone else like puppets? His intelligence is terrifying.”

Zheng Ke finally understood as well and beat his chest in regret.

“My god! Why did we send He Yu into the competition? If he were outside, he’d probably have completely deciphered combat power by now!”

If everyone on Blue Star practiced martial arts, what would they have to fear?

Why would they need to study the Federation’s combat power system at all?

“He’s already in there,” Wei Jiaguo said softly. “And perhaps it was precisely because he entered that he was able to figure it out...”

He stared at the screen.

“I understand now. Ever since the previous instance, all those deliberately vague statements from He Yu, all those explanations... they were meant for Blue Star.”

Others couldn’t understand.

But Blue Star could.

Ye Kaijun nodded repeatedly.

“Right, right! Quickly edit together every segment involving He Yu and send them to the Combat Power Research Institute. Tell them to start studying immediately. Time is running out.”

Taking a deep breath, he continued:

“A lot of people must be paying attention to Blue Star now. Blue Star is in danger. We have to move quickly.”

Wei Jiaguo nodded.

“While they research, tell everyone on Blue Star to watch for unfamiliar faces. Stay alert.”

Ye Kaijun sighed.

“If only the Federation would let us join the Universe Federation.”

Zheng Ke frowned.

“But our application has disappeared without a trace. Even after someone as outstanding as He Yu appeared, we still haven’t received a response.”

He clenched his fists.

“With Blue Star’s current strength, we can’t possibly stop experts from the Universe Federation. If they see He Yu displaying abilities this frightening and decide to force—”

“Wait!”

Wei Jiaguo raised a hand, interrupting him.

His eyes sank into thought.

No response.

No way to resist.

Terrifying abilities.

Force...

Something flashed through his mind.

He struggled to grasp it.

A moment later, his eyes widened.

“I understand now!”

“What?”

“That’s why He Yu keeps talking about Blue Star formations and Blue Star’s Star-Sucking Technique! The moment he displays abilities beyond the Federation’s understanding, the Federation will investigate him. They’ll investigate Blue Star!”

“And when he talks about martial arts, formations, and incantations, he isn’t being cringeworthy or foolish!”

“He’s deliberately acting like a mysterious master to blur the truth. Mixing truth with lies. Making others fear Blue Star and hesitate to act!”

As Wei Jiaguo finished speaking, his breathing quickened.

He grabbed his own shirt over his chest.

His body trembled slightly.

—He finally understood.

—Blue Star had been wrong.

All of them had been wrong.

Blue Star...

Should never have sent anyone into <Top Talent Show>.

This wasn’t an opportunity.

It was a death knell.

They had believed that if Blue Star contestants performed brilliantly, Blue Star could join the Universe Federation and gain protection.

But they were wrong.

Completely wrong.

The more outstanding their contestants became, the more dangerous Blue Star’s situation would become.

This was an era ruled by force.

An era where a single individual could destroy an entire planet.

An era of selfishness and endless conflict.

—If the contestants wanted to live, Blue Star might have to die.

And the appearance of a peerless genius like He Yu meant Blue Star was walking toward destruction.

How hateful that he had only realized it now.

Wei Jiaguo’s face turned pale.

His entire body shook uncontrollably.

It was over.

If Blue Star failed to understand the martial arts system before the Federation’s factions uncovered the truth about Blue Star, then Blue Star really might be finished.

Suddenly, he looked up at the screen.

Hope filled his eyes.

—No.

There was still one sliver of hope.

The monstrously intelligent He Yu had already discovered Blue Star’s predicament.

He was sending them information through the screen.

He was teaching them through the screen.

Would he save Blue Star?

Could he save Blue Star?

Wei Jiaguo stared fixedly at the screen.

--

“Blue Star He God, boundless magical power, vast divine abilities, eternal glory for ten thousand generations... I’ve recited this incantation ten thousand times. It doesn’t work.”

“Same. I’ve been practicing too. Nothing.”

“Could this guy just be showing off?”

“...Not gonna lie, it does look cool.”

“Sorry, I take it back. He God, I kneel.”

“Damn, this is incredible. How does He Yu keep doing these things? And why does he never explain anything?!”

...

The barrage flooded the screen.

Meanwhile, the nine contestants headed toward the exit of the maze.

Ling Buchen walked on He Yu’s left.

Wanrenzhan carried his axe and moved to He Yu’s right.

Leaning close, he asked:

“Hey. Your body actually endured it?”

He looked utterly incredulous.

“My body has over two hundred combat power, and even I ended up splitting apart. How are you completely fine?”

The pain of handling that terrifying energy was something Wanrenzhan understood all too well.

How could someone with only eight combat power survive it?

Unless He Yu was already riddled with injuries and simply hiding it.

Wanrenzhan looked him up and down.

He Yu remained perfectly calm.

“The method of bearing it was different.”

“What?”

Wanrenzhan froze.

He Yu explained:

“The way we bore it was different. You acted as a transfer station. I acted as processing equipment.”

“A transfer station has to contain the energy, which is extremely painful.”

“Processing equipment only processes it. It doesn’t store it.”

“The pain it bears is less than one-tenth of yours.”

Wanrenzhan blinked.

“?”

Then he stared.

“You’re telling me that?”

His voice rose.

“Then why the hell didn’t you let me be the processing equipment?!”

He Yu tilted his head.

“Because you’re thick-skinned and tough?”

Wanrenzhan:

“???”

He stared at He Yu in utter disbelief.

Then he exploded.

“HE YU!!”

He Yu casually cleaned his ear.

“I was joking.”

“Besides, it was my first time experimenting with processing equipment. You don’t understand the principles, so you couldn’t do it anyway. The only role you could fill was the transfer station.”

Wanrenzhan:

“...”

He still wanted to argue.

But at that moment, everyone stepped out of the maze.

A familiar voice sounded—

[Congratulations, contestants. Elimination Round Two, Stage Three: Maze Chaos has been completed!]

[All contestants have received equipment rewards.]

Nine pieces of equipment appeared.

The scene immediately distracted Wanrenzhan.

He stopped bothering He Yu and turned to look.

All nine pieces floated in midair.

Yet no one moved.

The contestants exchanged glances.

Zhante coughed lightly and spoke first.

“Um... since it’s only our team here, He Yu should choose first.”

During the first stage there had been too many people.

Rewards had been distributed randomly.

But everyone here was technically a teammate.

And He Yu’s contribution had clearly been the greatest.

Letting him choose first was only fair.

Duan Yuchen, Harvey, Qiong, and Qiao Yuan still looked dazed.

They hadn’t even figured out how they had cleared the maze.

They had practically contributed nothing.

Naturally, they offered no objections.

Wanrenzhan and Ling Buchen didn’t object either.

Only Earlie was unhappy.

“Why?”

He sneered.

“This is a competition. Since when are we politely yielding rewards to each other?”

“He Yu contributed the most,” Ling Buchen said.

Earlie raised an eyebrow.

His fierce face was filled with dissatisfaction.

“So what? He only has eight combat power. Not treating him as dead weight is already generous enough.”

Qiong shot him a look of disgust.

Then she mocked:

“Says the guy who got carried.”

“You little—what did you say?!”

Earlie strode toward her.

The two had never gotten along.

Back during the preliminary selection rounds, Qiong had escaped his bullying and even stolen his equipment.

They were sworn enemies.

Suddenly, Wanrenzhan swung his axe sideways, blocking Earlie’s path.

“Enough.”

Earlie stopped.

He still wanted to say something.

But then he remembered what he had witnessed earlier.

He swallowed the words.

Sure enough.

Only someone even more vicious could restrain a villain.

Throughout the entire argument, He Yu paid them no attention.

His gaze swept over the nine rewards.

There were combat-power enhancement items.

Defensive equipment.

Flight equipment.

Potions.

And one strange heart.

He Yu stepped forward and picked up the heart.

“I’ll take this one.”

Everyone froze.

—He picked the useless item?

Qiong hurriedly said:

“He Yu, that thing is useless! Why °• N 𝑜 v 𝑒 l i g h t •° not improve your combat power? Those two combat-power enhancement items are really good!”

He Yu shook his head.

“No need.”

He liked things that were unknown, rare, and unique.

He had never cared much for equipment.

Qiong wanted to say more.

But she remembered what she had witnessed earlier.

Unlike Earlie, who feared Wanrenzhan more than anything else.

She feared He Yu.

Only He Yu.

A man with merely eight combat power had displayed abilities beyond all of them combined.

For someone like him...

Combat power truly didn’t seem important.

The others had reached the same conclusion.

No one said anything else as they collected their rewards.

Earlie muttered quietly:

“Knows he’s about to get voted out, so he picked some useless junk?”

Duan Yuchen was still hoping to ask about what had happened inside the maze.

But He Yu spoke first—

“Everyone.”

“Let’s vote.”

He looked across all of them.

His voice remained calm.

“We finally have voting rights.”

His gaze swept over every contestant.

“Before we vote, there are a few things I’d like to say to all of you.”
