This Character is Suspected of Cheating! [Unlimited Flow]

Their eyes still stung, and their heads were still dizzy.

Wanrenzhan wiped away the physiological tears on his face and looked suspiciously at the equipment in He Yu's hand.

Everyone else reacted almost exactly the same.

—Could He Yu really have failed?

Impossible.

He had proven himself many times already. He was extremely capable, especially in forging.

Someone who could forge the Crescent Moon Scimitar had actually produced... this thing?

Eugene and the others didn't believe it.

An equipment with combat power 6?

That was questioning He Yu's ability!

He Yu was very satisfied. He nodded.

“Not bad.”

He was genuinely pleased. He put it away into his backpack, his expression calm, without showing even the slightest disappointment.

—as though this level of combat power had always been exactly what he wanted.

Eugene asked, “How much combat power does your weapon have?”

He refused to believe what he had seen.

Perhaps this equipment was actually very powerful?

Maybe it simply couldn't display its strength because He Yu's combat power was too low?

He Yu didn't hide anything.

“6.”

He stored the equipment in his backpack. The system automatically detected it, so his equipment list naturally displayed its information:

A plain, unremarkable sword. Combat power 6.

It really was 6?!

The system's prompt shut up the audience who had refused to believe. Combat power “6” had become an established fact, and they all fell silent.

Of course, silence was always brief.

After a short moment, discussions resumed—

“How can He Yu, who forged the Crescent Moon Scimitar, make something with combat power 6?”

“I don't believe it. There must be some scheme behind this!”

“I think so too. Don't forget, He Yu is a schemer with 180 tricks.”

“I don't agree. Normally He Yu doesn't fail, but this time he was experimenting with new forging techniques. Looking at the situation, the new technique failed.”

“Right, I agree. He failed. He only looks calm because he's trying to save face.”

“But this is He Yu! How could He Yu possibly fail?!”

“Anyone can fail. Besides, the system has already displayed the combat power. How could it be fake?”

...

Yes.

The system had displayed the combat power.

How could it be fake?

Most viewers believed He Yu had failed.

He had indeed forged an equipment with combat power 6, using two pieces of equipment with combat power 3.

Therefore, He Yu's combat power remained 8.

Before forging, it was 8.

After forging, it was still 8.

—He was really determined to die with that “8,” wasn't he?!

Well, not that there was no improvement.

The new equipment had apparently upgraded the dog-eye-blinding effect into a PS version.

On top of the original effect, it was even more dazzling.

And even more shameless.

After finishing the forging, He Yu calmly turned around.

He didn't care what these people thought.

Nor did he care what the audience thought.

Combat power 6?

Did that really mean it only possessed destructive power equal to 6?

His own combat power was only 8, yet people with combat power 800 didn't dare act recklessly in front of him.

He Yu had never judged people or objects solely by combat power.

The more they mocked him now, the more they underestimated him—

The harder they would be slapped in the face when they witnessed the longsword's true power.

Slapping the faces of Federation contestants and Federation audiences...

He Yu was already extremely skilled at that.

He turned and left.

Zhen Xing tilted his head and asked,

“Does your weapon have a name?”

He Yu shook his head and casually left behind one sentence:

“No need. Nameless.”

It wasn't time to think about naming it yet.

There would be plenty of time later.

Little Green followed after He Yu.

The shadow still only possessed an upper body. Below him stretched long emerald vines. His black mist had become solid, and his blue eyes, teary from being blinded, looked hazily at He Yu.

He Yu asked,

“What are you looking at?”

Little Green said,

“...I can't see very clearly anymore. I think I've gone blind?”

As he spoke, a thin emerald vine extended and wrapped around He Yu's wrist.

Very seriously, he said:

“You should hold my hand and lead me.”

—as though he had truly become blind.

He Yu: “......”

This guy had become smarter.

He had even learned to play tricks.

Still, He Yu didn't refuse.

Holding the vine, he walked toward the Life Tree.

He was accustomed to lying at the top and basking in the sun.

One person and one vine held “hands.”

The atmosphere looked exceptionally harmonious.

Little Green was delighted.

The vines behind his body waved wildly in the air, bubbles of happiness almost overflowing.

All around them, rich life energy caused towering trees and short grasses alike to bloom with flowers. Everywhere was a flourishing sea of blossoms.

Wherever He Yu and Little Green went, flowers swayed all around them.

Everyone: “......”

It all originated from He Yu asking Little Green if he could bloom flowers.

Yesterday, after the Life Tree recovered, Love Planet had transformed into a primeval forest.

Today, Eugene had suggested that He Yu avoid binding with Little Green to prevent Love Planet from exploding.

Wanrenzhan and Zhen Xing had strongly supported that suggestion.

But Little Green had objected.

And without a teacher, he had learned to control excess life force.

What should he do with all that extra energy?

Turn it all into flowers!

And He Yu happened to love it.

Surrounded by blooming flowers, his mood visibly improved.

The corners of his mouth curled slightly.

[Bullet Screen: “He's too good at this!”]

[Bullet Screen: “Little Green really is too good at this!”]

[Bullet Screen: “I declare this vine the smoothest creature currently in the Top Talent Show.”]

[Bullet Screen: “??? Where does that leave my big cat?!”]

Flowers everywhere.

How romantic.

Little Green didn't need to verbally express his love to He Yu.

Just looking at the countless flowers blooming around them was enough to understand how deep his feelings were.

And these feelings weren't empty words.

They were all inside the flowers.

“Achoo!”

Wanrenzhan sneezed. Looking at the backs of the pair, he grumbled unhappily,

“Annoying. These flowers are choking people to death. Who likes flowers blooming everywhere?”

His face was full of displeasure.

“Flashy and showy. Just like that vine. All it knows is how to seduce people.”

Even after criticizing Little Green, he wasn't satisfied. He turned his fire toward He Yu.

“It's just a vine. I really don't know what kind of taste he has, treating a vine so well!”

His tone was sour and jealous.

Zhen Xing glanced at him and calmly walked toward his cultivation spot.

Eugene asked,

“Aren't you angry?”

Wanrenzhan cared deeply about He Yu, so he was angry.

Zhen Xing also cared about He Yu.

Then why wasn't he angry?

Zhen Xing replied indifferently:

“It's only for this instance. There are only a dozen days left. What's there to care about?”

After saying that, he calmly left and resumed cultivation.

Eugene: “......”

Wanrenzhan: “......”

[Bullet Screen: “See? That's what the main wife aura looks like!”]

[Bullet Screen: “Hahaha, Zhen Xing really has the bearing of the main wife. Wanrenzhan is just a villain with nothing who jumps around all day.”]

[Bullet Screen: “...Then does that mean Little Green is merely a favored pet enjoying temporary glory?”]

[Bullet Screen: “I don't object to anything else, but—ahhh, I can't bear to part with Little Green! A sweet and murderous Little Green who blooms flowers, who could dislike him?!”]

He Yu knew nothing about the Bullet Screen discussions.

He flew onto the Life Tree, leaned against the vines, and leisurely basked in the sun.

Winter sunlight was truly comfortable.

This was a competition field anyway, so he didn't have to worry about tanning.

In his previous life, in order to maintain perfect skin, unless work required it, he would absolutely never sunbathe.

But now things were different.

Not only could the sun inside instances not tan him—

Even if he did get tanned, so what?

Half a Frost Flower, and he would instantly regain his radiant appearance.

He Yu basked comfortably.

Zhen Xing and Bo Jingshan cultivated seriously.

Wanrenzhan squatted below, gloomily watching them.

Duan Yuchen continued forging.

Qiong and the others lit fires, grilled meat, and prepared food.

—Putting aside everything else, this period was probably the most leisurely and stress-free time they had experienced since entering the Top Talent Show.

Unfortunately, such days wouldn't last long.

And beneath the surface, a faint sense of urgency lingered in everyone's hearts.

—

Day Twenty.

Bang!

Clang-clang!

Wanrenzhan's axe was sent flying, and he himself crashed into a large tree, snapping it in half before falling to the ground and coughing up blood.

Bo Jingshan calmly sheathed his blade.

This scene had become common lately.

Every day someone challenged Bo Jingshan.

Wanrenzhan challenged him the most.

It seemed he didn't understand the concept of failure.

The more he failed, the braver he became.

Gedai muttered,

“This defeat came one minute faster than last time. Wanrenzhan became stronger, but Bo Jingshan improved much more...”

Siya also muttered,

“Yes. What's going on?”

Duan Yuchen and Qiong frowned deeply.

Supporting himself against a tree, Wanrenzhan slowly stood and stared fixedly at Bo Jingshan.

“You've become stronger. Your strength is increasing rapidly.”

He might be stupid when dealing with He Yu, but as a Federation expert and a humanoid weapon, Wanrenzhan possessed abundant experience and understanding of combat.

Bo Jingshan had indeed grown stronger.

Not because of equipment.

His own combat power had increased.

Everyone knew that increasing one's own combat power was much harder than improving equipment.

Wanrenzhan was highly regarded not only because he had been first place in the previous tournament, but because his own combat power was the highest among all contestants.

Increasing personal combat power by a large amount was extremely difficult.

How had Bo Jingshan done it?

Potions?

No.

He hadn't consumed any potions.

Besides, no potion had such long-lasting effects.

Combat?

Combat couldn't improve strength this quickly!

“How did you do it?” Gedai asked.

Naturally, Bo Jingshan wouldn't explain.

He swept his gaze across everyone.

“No one else wants to fight? Then I'm leaving.”

After speaking, he returned to his place.

Others didn't know what he was doing.

But Blue Star people knew.

—Bo Jingshan was cultivating.

Wei Jiaguo sighed.

“When exactly will they figure it out? Aren't they just one layer of paper away? Why can't they pierce through it?”

Ye Kaijun sighed as well, deeply troubled.

“I went to the research institute again today. They believe they should already have figured it out, but for some reason it doesn't work. Something is always missing, and they still can't detect or capture the energy.”

Zheng Ke said,

“We can't even help. This is driving me crazy.”

Suddenly, Wei Jiaguo looked toward his secretary.

“Are those Federation people still staying in the hotel?”

The secretary nodded.

“Yes. They're still there. And another spaceship arrived today.”

As He Yu revealed more and more of his abilities, increasing numbers of Federation people turned their attention to Blue Star.

Blue Star was very far away from the cosmos. Even spaceships required a long journey.

But He Yu had already spent twenty days inside <Universal Love>.

Not only had official Federation delegations arrived, but members of major families and large planets had come as well.

Perhaps they feared the threat posed by He Yu and Zhen Xing.

Perhaps they wanted to understand these so-called “other systems.”

None of them had made any obvious moves.

They simply stayed on Blue Star and occasionally questioned the government.

Those were only public actions.

How much they had done behind the scenes—

Blue Star knew.

But they could neither control nor stop them.

—This was the disadvantage of lacking strength.

Wei Jiaguo grabbed his hair.

“Keep stalling them. Keep pressuring the research institute. We really don't have much time left!”

“Yes.”

—

He Yu knew Blue Star still hadn't developed the new system.

He was somewhat disappointed.

But just as the Universe Federation couldn't understand the energy system, Blue Star entering a completely unfamiliar field required time.

And it required breaking free from fixed ways of thinking.

Though he was a Blue Star native, he had to admit—

The Federation's research capabilities weren't inferior to Blue Star's.

Blue Star merely possessed one advantage—

They understood him.

Because of that, they would certainly understand before the Federation.

But even now, Blue Star had not begun its “revolution.”

The new system was no small matter.

Although He Yu only occasionally saw Bullet Screens, if Blue Star had succeeded, he shouldn't have seen nothing.

The calmness outside meant only one thing—

Blue Star still hadn't succeeded.

Looks like...

He would have to push things a bit more.

Just as that thought crossed his mind—

Below him, Wanrenzhan had just picked up his axe.

And then, Eugene, who had been silent all this time, suddenly attacked Zhen Xing!

Buzz—

The chainsaw spun at high speed, brimming with killing intent.

His opening strike was lethal.

Eugene wanted to kill Zhen Xing?!

The sudden change shocked everyone.

Recently they had all maintained peaceful cooperation.

No one had expected Eugene's sudden attack.

Everyone stopped what they were doing and stared in shock.

He Yu sat up and casually stroked a vine while watching.

Little Green trembled slightly.

Eugene attacked Zhen Xing, but Zhen Xing wasn't someone to be trifled with.

The instant Eugene moved, the Rubik's Cube appeared before him.

Zhen Xing retreated several steps and avoided the attack.

His eyes sharpened.

He leaped forward to meet him head-on.

Could Eugene defeat Zhen Xing?

Viewers who could see combat power knew the answer.

Eugene lagged twenty combat power behind Zhen Xing.

And after entering this instance, for some inexplicable reason, Zhen Xing's combat power had increased greatly again, while Eugene's had remained almost unchanged.

The result was practically predetermined.

After several exchanges—

Eugene lost.

Zhen Xing was injured.

Eugene's injuries were even more severe.

Zhen Xing showed no mercy.

The Rubik's Cube pinned Eugene down.

Every attack he launched was fatal.

Had Eugene not been powerful enough, he would've died already.

“Stop.”

He Yu suddenly spoke.

Zhen Xing delivered another heavy blow, causing Eugene to cough up blood. One of his mechanical arms broke off.

Only then did he withdraw the Rubik's Cube and coldly stare at him.

Eugene could no longer stand.

Supporting himself against a tree stump that had been cut in half, he sat down.

He forced a smile.

“You really are getting stronger. Just like Bo Jingshan.”

—He had been testing him!

Using his own life to test.

He was truly ruthless.

He Yu was lowered from the tree by the vines and slowly approached.

“What do you want? Stop testing people. I prefer straightforward people.”

Eugene coughed twice.

His mechanical body emitted disordered buzzing sounds.

But suppressing the urge to faint, he looked at He Yu.

“I know it's you. Zhen Xing and Bo Jingshan have only one thing in common—they both talked to you alone in the transit station. And Ling Buchen too, right? You gave them a way to increase their strength!”

His words stunned everyone.

A method to increase strength?!

Increase their own strength?!

Gedai narrowed his eyes, excitement flashing within them.

Even Duan Yuchen stared fixedly in this direction.

At this moment—

Everyone's eyes were filled with shock and curiosity.
