This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]
Chapter 65: The Scheming Team-Up Phase (24)Duan Yuchen was being held back tightly by several people.
He was so furious that he wanted to charge straight into the projection.
Even though he knew the projection separated them and they couldn't actually hurt He Yu. He probably couldn't even hear the insults.
But—
He was furious!
What He Yu had said sounded far too real.
He hadn't hidden the fact that he couldn't actively use Taiji to attack people. Combined with his confidence about entering the sixth round alone, Duan Yuchen had genuinely believed him.
If He Yu had simply claimed to be incredibly powerful in an attempt to bluff him, Duan Yuchen never would have believed it.
But He Yu hadn't pretended to be overwhelmingly strong.
Instead, he first admitted that he couldn't actively attack with Taiji, then explained that he could “transfer attacks.”
It was difficult not to believe him.
And on top of that, He Yu had even said he didn't want to deceive him anymore.
He had said they could seriously discuss forging techniques together someday.
It had all sounded so genuine.
Duan Yuchen had believed every word.
Then the moment he left, He Yu casually announced that he had tricked him again?
Who could accept that?
Who the hell could understand that?!
“Calm down. We're all victims here. Just let it go.”
After calming down, Zhante had already accepted reality.
After all, He Yu hadn't personally toyed with him.
He had simply been voted out.
Duan Yuchen paused slightly.
For the first time, he looked at the others.
Wanrenzhan was still cursing furiously nearby.
Siya, Qiao Yuan, and Zhante had already accepted reality and wore helpless expressions.
Qiong lowered the brim of her hat, but her frustration was still obvious.
Oh, and there was one more person.
Ling Buchen sat quietly in a corner, almost invisible.
Grinding his teeth, Duan Yuchen asked,
“So what exactly did he lie to me about?”
Zhante spread his hands.
“How would I know? If He Yu doesn't explain it himself, who can possibly understand what goes on in his head?”
Qiao Yuan sighed helplessly.
“He really isn't afraid of overplaying his hand. He's actually going into the sixth round alone.”
Siya nodded.
“Exactly. If he really lied to you about his combat ability, then entering the sixth round by himself means certain death. Let's just sit back and watch him kill himself.”
Duan Yuchen's heart stirred.
Nobody knew what kind of monsters awaited in the sixth round.
If He Yu went alone...
That might not end well for him at all.
The enraged Wanrenzhan suddenly turned around.
Eyes wide, he barked,
“He can't die.”
He swung his axe.
“He has to survive into the next round.”
“Then die by my hand.”
Qiao Yuan immediately interrupted,
“Don't fight me for him. I'll kill him next round.”
Zhante said gloomily,
“Count me in. I still need revenge.”
Siya smiled.
“Don't argue. We'll form a Revenge Alliance and settle the score together.”
“No matter how many tricks he has, as long as we don't believe anything he says, we'll definitely get our revenge.”
Duan Yuchen took a deep breath.
Then he nodded.
Sitting down with a dark expression, he gripped his weapon and stared at the projection.
“I want to see whether he'll screw himself over entering the sixth round alone.”
“An eight-combat-power support actually thinks he can clear it solo.”
“Suicidal.”
His face clearly said—
Waiting to watch He Yu destroy himself.
The others sat down as well.
All eyes fixed on the projection, anticipation filling their gazes.
After going through so much effort to eliminate them all, if He Yu ended up dying in the sixth round himself...
That would be hilarious.
—But what exactly had he lied to Duan Yuchen about?
—And if it was related to his strength, how could he possibly dare enter the sixth round alone?!
The audience had the same question.
He Yu's livestream barrage instantly filled up.
“AHHHH! What exactly did he lie to Duan Yuchen about?!”
“Could it be related to combat power?”
“Maybe he's actually super strong and only tricked Duan Yuchen?”
“That's possible! Maybe he can actively attack with that Taiji thing and doesn't need to play support!”
“Otherwise how would he dare enter the sixth round?”
“What did he lie about?! Blue Star's God He Yu, explain yourself!!”
...
Duan Yuchen had already left.
Looking at the flying comments, He Yu smiled slightly.
“What I lied about was this—”
“I can now redirect ten thousand jin of force.”
“But it still only moves in a straight line.”
“I can only reflect attacks.”
The audience froze.
“!!!”
Duan Yuchen and the others:
“???”
He Yu continued,
“As for transferring attacks...”
He suddenly laughed.
Stepping toward the sixth round, he left behind one final sentence.
“That part was a lie.”
“Even though I only have eight combat power, it's still enough to leave a tiny cut on your hand.”
“Hahaha.”
Within the projection, He Yu's retreating figure looked carefree and elegant.
The audience:
“...”
Duan Yuchen and the others:
“!!!”
So the small wound hadn't been caused by the Ordinary-Looking Knife at all!
Right!
That knife only had three combat power.
But He Yu himself also possessed combat power.
According to his own theory, he couldn't directly manipulate external energy.
But he could still use his own combat power.
Single-digit combat power was still combat power.
At the time, Duan Yuchen hadn't moved at all and had allowed He Yu to perform his demonstration.
So that tiny cut had actually been caused by He Yu's own attack.
That small wound wasn't transferred damage.
It was He Yu's active attack.
—His entire offensive capability amounted to that tiny little scratch.
They had misunderstood.
No.
They had been deceived.
Duan Yuchen shot to his feet and charged toward the screen.
Siya and Qiao Yuan grabbed him tightly.
“Calm down!”
“Stay rational!”
“Yes, he's absurdly crafty. But combat power is still what matters. With only that much combat power, He Yu will die in the sixth round anyway. Let's just watch!”
Grinding his teeth, Duan Yuchen roared,
“He Yu—go die already!!”
The barrage continued flying.
“If He Yu can't actively attack, why does he dare enter the sixth round alone?”
“He can reflect attacks. As long as the boss's attacks stay within the range he can redirect, he should be okay.”
“But it's still dangerous! What if multiple monsters attack him at once? Can he reflect all of them?”
“And what if he gets ambushed?”
“Exactly. He could have followed the plan he described to Duan Yuchen and cleared the instance together with everyone else.”
“Entering the sixth round alone is way too dangerous. This guy is asking for death.”
“Seriously. He finally managed to hide his undercover identity, and now he's choosing to throw his life away.”
...
He Yu could no longer see the barrage.
Whether he could see comments or not had always been random.
Most of the time, he couldn't.
However, as a hall-of-fame actor who had spent years navigating the entertainment industry, he didn't need to read comments to know what the audience was thinking.
From the moment he entered this instance and received the undercover role—
From the very beginning of his plans—
He had never intended to let anyone accompany him into the sixth round.
The undercover agent's victory should have been decided at the end of the fifth round.
The sixth round belonged to him alone.
The sixth round was where he would confront the other teams.
—He Yu had never wanted to be a support.
He wanted to walk into the sixth round alone.
He wanted to clear it successfully despite everyone's disbelief.
He had defeated every member of Team One.
Now he would defeat the other teams as well.
Nobody believed that a useless weakling with eight combat power could reach the second elimination stage.
Yet he had.
Nobody believed he could win while holding the undercover role.
Yet he had.
Nobody believed he could clear the sixth round alone.
And he absolutely would.
Ling Buchen understood his plan.
After all, he had once worked in the entertainment industry as well.
What He Yu wanted was to shatter everyone's preconceived notions.
To force those who looked down on him to truly recognize him.
As a contestant from a garbage planet, he was naturally disliked by Federation audiences.
One purpose of this competition was to win the audience's favor.
And He Yu's own pursuit and dream had always been attention and admiration from an audience.
So he wanted their attention.
And he wanted their love.
Starting from a position nobody believed in meant destroying expectations before rebuilding them.
Facing those lofty Federation spectators—
He would first destroy their assumptions.
Then rebound from absolute despair.
He would shock them.
Then drive them mad.
Again and again, he would rewrite their opinions and expectations.
Eventually, he would earn their affection.
One day, they would lower their heads—
Heads that were never truly noble to begin with.
They would watch him ascend step by step toward godhood.
Watch him seize the crown.
And they would have only one choice.
To cheer for him.
To go mad for him.
To wave banners and shout his name.
The sixth round.
<Ice and Snow Paradise>.
After the fifth round, each step toward the summit brought colder temperatures.
The flames of Blazing Hell could melt flesh.
The ice and snow of Ice and Snow Paradise could freeze a person solid.
He Yu tightened his clothing.
His pace never slowed.
Against the freezing wind, he climbed steadily toward the mountaintop.
Because he had something he desired.
Because he had a goal.
Though the wind cut like knives, his chest burned hot.
A flame blazed within him.
Eyes fixed ahead.
Moving forward without hesitation.
--
At the same time—
Zhen Xing's team, Eugene's team, and Yuan Ze's team entered the fifth round together.
During the third round, they had encountered the labyrinth monster's frenzied assault.
The monster had gone completely berserk, leaving them no opportunity to rely on luck to clear the stage.
They had no choice but to join forces.
Eugene's team had already eliminated their undercover agent.
Yuan Ze and Cheng Zhao's team had done the same.
Only Zhen Xing's team was different.
Only he remained alive.
Aside from Tang Ke and Annie, everyone else had been killed by him.
—Zhen Xing had been the undercover agent.
And he was even stronger than before.
After Annie and Tang Ke became separated, he hunted them one by one.
Had they not begged the audience for enough votes to escape, neither would have survived.
Now that no undercover agents remained among them, they no longer feared the other teams.
And nobody wanted to fight Zhen Xing either.
Thus, the teams had temporarily formed an alliance.
Looking at the empty landscape of Hell, Eugene swallowed.
“What exactly happened to Team One?”
“Other than He Yu, Earlie, and Harvey, everyone else used votes to advance.”
“And this round... became like this.”
“How much combat power would it take to do something this insane?”
Gedai was equally shocked.
“They forced the third-round boss into a berserk state.”
“And now they've completely destroyed the fifth-round boss.”
“Truly... terrifying.”
The fifth round was obviously extraordinary.
None of them could guarantee they would clear it.
Yet Team One had completely annihilated the entire hellscape.
“So what exactly happened?!” someone demanded.
After thinking for a moment, Yuan Ze offered a rational analysis.
“I don't think Team One has three survivors left.”
“Don't forget, someone died.”
Cheng Zhao nodded.
“Harvey wasn't especially strong.”
“He Yu's combat power is terrible.”
“So... Earlie survived?”
The silent Zhen Xing suddenly spoke.
“Earlie isn't capable of forcing everyone else out.”
“Zhante, Wanrenzhan, Duan Yuchen, Qiao Yuan, and Qiong are all top-tier fighters.”
After a pause, he added,
“And I don't think He Yu is dead.”
Gedai's mechanical face remained expressionless.
“But he can't possibly enter the sixth round alone.”
Zhen Xing didn't answer.
—Until they actually met Team One, who could possibly know what had happened?
Eugene scratched his head.
“I'm really curious about what Team One went through.”
“We rushed as fast as we could and still couldn't catch them.”
“I thought they were incredibly united.”
“Who would've guessed they were nearly wiped out?”
“That undercover agent must have been terrifying.”
Yuan Ze took a deep breath while looking at the empty Blazing Hell.
“No matter what happened, we'll know once we catch up.”
“The strongest fighters have already left.”
“No matter how many people Team One still has alive, they can't possibly defeat us.”
Cheng Zhao nodded.
“I really hope He Yu is still alive.”
Gedai gritted his teeth.
“Who doesn't?”
“I still haven't gotten revenge.”
“He dared toy with me.”
“When I find him, I'm slicing him into pieces.”
This round contained nothing.
No equipment rewards.
But equally, no difficulty.
Eugene clapped his hands.
His expression became serious.
His body shot forward at incredible speed, leaving only his voice echoing behind him.
“Let's go.”
“Catch up and see what's happening!”
The others immediately followed.
A murderous group charging after He Yu.
Judging from the temperature of Blazing Hell, they knew Team One had only recently departed.
There was no doubt in their minds.
They would catch up before He Yu cleared the stage.
