384: Cheater

Compared to Lin Tianwei's ease, Yoris, who had left the Arena, was drenched in sweat, panting heavily, and remained dazed in the waiting room for a long time.

After a while, Yoris's eyes finally regained their sparkle. He had, at last, emerged from the shadow of being brutally defeated by Lin Tianwei.

Taking a deep breath, Yoris said, "Check the information of my last Arena opponent."

Yoris had lost, extremely unwilling yet completely convinced. In such a contradictory state of mind, he looked up Lin Tianwei's information.

He wanted to know why he had lost in a simple mode Arena match, and why his opponent was so powerful.

Under the rules of the Law Arena, Yoris had the authority to view Lin Tianwei's information from his last Arena match.

However, looking at the panel information before him, Yoris was instantly dumbfounded.

This enemy named "Lin" only had a Cosmic Level seven-stage real strength, was rated as ordinary, and ranked outside the three hundred million mark.

If judged solely by the information, the Arena match between him and his opponent was indeed simple mode.

However, recalling the 'joyful' time of being brutally beaten by Lin Tianwei, Yoris couldn't help but feel like reporting him.

This broken Law Arena couldn't possibly be playing him, could it? How could an opponent with such strength, ranking, and evaluation be so powerful?

How could such outrageous information be real? Administrator, I want to report someone for cheating!

Of course, Yoris only thought about reporting it, because he knew that the Law Arena could never make a mistake.

There must be some other reason for this situation.

This was a newcomer, a very new newcomer with terrifying strength, and he had encountered him in his first three Arena matches before his evaluation was updated.

Such good luck truly made Yoris incredibly frustrated; he felt his already bad mood had worsened.

However, his eyes immediately lit up again.

Such a newcomer with infinite potential was priceless. He had discovered him before he even made his mark, and he would definitely be able to sell this news for a good price.

In fact, geniuses are noticed everywhere, even in the Law Arena.

Many major powers love to befriend such infinitely potential geniuses, investing in them before they truly grow up.

They either directly control them or bind them through interests and other relationships, tying them to their own war chariot.

If just one out of hundreds of geniuses can successfully grow up, it's a huge profit for these major powers.

After all, they are only investing some resources that are not very important to them.

Therefore, information about a genius like Lin Tianwei, who has just begun to show his Talent, is particularly valuable.

This is also why Yoris was so happy, even after being psychologically traumatized by Lin Tianwei...

Just as Yoris was planning to sell the news about Lin Tianwei for a good price, another power also set its sights on Lin Tianwei.

The only power capable of discerning Lin Tianwei's potential at this time was naturally the Law Arena itself, a power whose original intention was to cultivate geniuses, and thus naturally paid special attention to them.

As an observer, Yoris's task was to find the infinitely potential Cosmic Beasts among the countless Cosmic Beasts participating in the Law Arena.

Lin Tianwei's brilliant battle record naturally caught Yoris's attention.

"Three consecutive S-rank Arena evaluations?" Yoris murmured, "That's a very impressive record."

"A Cosmic Beast capable of achieving such a record is at least a once-in-a-century genius, and is worth my slight attention."

Thinking this, Yoris quickly operated on the electronic screen in front of him, and soon brought up Lin Tianwei's Arena recording.

The first Arena match was, of course, Lin Tianwei's novice trial.

Looking at the incredibly clumsy Lin Tianwei, whose eyes sparkled with clear stupidity, Yoris said with some puzzlement:

"A novice. This Cosmic Beast is actually a novice of the Law Arena. This pure, natural clumsiness cannot be faked."

"A novice actually managed to get an S-rank evaluation in the novice trial?"

"This is extremely rare. Let me see how he managed to get an S-rank evaluation in the novice trial."

Compared to subsequent Arena matches, achieving a high score was actually most difficult in the novice trial.

All things are difficult before they are easy.

Especially for novices, they haven't undergone corresponding training, and don't even know how to acquire a Talent template in the Law Arena.

Without the blessing of a Talent template, it is already extremely difficult for a novice to pass the novice trial, let alone achieve a high score.

Thinking this, Yoris patiently continued watching. He was truly curious as to how such a clumsy Berserk Giant Bear managed to get an S-rank Arena evaluation in the novice trial.

As time passed, there was no progress in the battle. All Yoris saw was a clumsy struggle.

So, Yoris began to impatiently speed up the playback. This kind of clumsy fighting really struggled to hold his interest.

A sudden change occurred!

Just as Yoris sped up, Lin Tianwei suddenly went berserk, exploding the trial beast with a single punch.

The change was so fast that Yoris almost didn't react.

Quickly rewinding, Yoris even used slow motion, but after watching several times, he still didn't understand how Lin Tianwei could suddenly burst out with such powerful strength.

The growth of any power leaves traces, especially the comprehension and application of Law, which generally follows the rule of progressing from weak to strong.

But Lin Tianwei was so unreasonable, bursting out with a Talent template that reached the extraordinary level without any warning or preamble.

It was as if at a certain moment, some mysterious power invaded the body of this Berserk Giant Bear, forcibly elevating his strength to an incredible degree.

Cheating? Impossible. No creature can cheat in the Law Arena!

Or perhaps this Cosmic Beast named "Lin" just happened to comprehend the true meaning of Law all of a sudden.

Although such an epiphany is incredibly rare, it is not entirely impossible.

Thinking this, Yoris decided to watch Lin Tianwei's second Arena match.

He wanted to see how Lin Tianwei managed to get an S-rank Arena evaluation in his second match.

However, at the very beginning of the Arena match, Yoris frowned. Why had Lin's strength increased so much in such a short time?

Although he had defeated the trial beast with overwhelming force last time, his body had ultimately collapsed.

This indicated that his control over this power was very tenuous and difficult to use freely.

But what was Yoris seeing now?

A powerful and stable Lin, as if the Cosmic Beast that had previously collapsed was not him at all.

Such a powerful Lin Tianwei could naturally easily defeat his opponent, Hong, and obtain an S-rank Arena evaluation.

After all, the opponent for each Arena match is determined by the strength displayed in the previous match.

Lin Tianwei had undergone a qualitative change by this point, and could naturally easily defeat Hong and secure an S-rank evaluation.

Thinking this, Yoris rewound time again, back to when Lin Tianwei was still in the training room. He wanted to know what power had caused such a huge change in Lin Tianwei.

Lin Tianwei's worries were not unfounded; the Law Arena was indeed not a place that could be fully trusted.

The so-called secrecy was only for other Cosmic Beasts.

For the staff of the Law Arena, as long as their authority was sufficient, they could view everything that happened within the Law Arena.

This was, after all, a virtual world, and such so-called backtracking was incredibly simple, requiring hardly any effort.

So, Yoris watched a boring sandbag training session. For several days, he watched until he was yawning continuously, yet he couldn't figure out why.

A sudden change occurred.

Just as Yoris thought this boring time would continue for a long while, he suddenly noticed that Lin Tianwei's aura changed, becoming even more profound.

This was precisely the moment Lin Tianwei's main account came back online.

Then Yoris witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

As if he had taken some stimulant, Lin Tianwei's body suddenly swelled, rapidly growing into a muscular giant bear.

With his high-level authority in the Law Arena, Yoris could easily know what had just happened.

Talent template: Muscle Enhancement (Extraordinary)?

Yoris was very surprised. How could this Cosmic Beast named "Lin" completely deviate from the norm, comprehending an incredibly powerful Talent template without any warning?

He even directly crossed the boundaries of Unranked, Ordinary, Junior, Intermediate, and Advanced, comprehending an Extraordinary Talent template right from the start, completely disregarding the concept of gradual progress.

One must know that Lin was merely a Cosmic Beast with only Cosmic Level seven-stage strength. How could his comprehension of Law be so perfect?

Possessing Talent ≠ Possessing corresponding Law comprehension.

In other words, even Cosmic Beasts with King-level Talent, or even Legendary-level Talent, might not necessarily possess an Extraordinary Talent template in the Law Arena.

And in general, their Talent templates would have a process of improvement,

starting from a Junior Talent template, or even an Ordinary Talent template, and slowly upgrading to match their real-world Talent level.

Some Cosmic Beasts even spend their entire lives unable to match their Talent level in Law comprehension.

There is no such thing as a Cosmic Beast directly obtaining a high-level Talent template like Lin Tianwei.

However, Yoris's astonishment was not limited to this, because after using the Talent template: Muscle Enhancement (Extraordinary), Lin Tianwei still felt it wasn't enough, and used two more Extraordinary-level Talent templates.

He ultimately transformed himself into a Cosmic Beast with comprehensively developed strength, physique, and agility.

Under the complete crushing of attributes, Lin Tianwei undoubtedly achieved victory in the second Arena match.

It seemed like Hong was furiously attacking, but in reality, Lin Tianwei could easily crush him; he was just waiting for a good opportunity.

Indeed, once Lin Tianwei grasped Hong's offensive rhythm, he quickly dealt with this flashy pretender in just a few moves.

Such an abnormal situation even made Yoris lose the desire to watch the third Arena match, and he began to ponder why Lin Tianwei was so strong.

Outstanding Talent? Impossible!

No matter how strong a Talent is, it must leave traces; it cannot be so overbearing and unreasonable.

Reincarnator?

Yoris instantly thought of a possibility.

Among many Talents, there is a very special type of Talent: the ability to reincarnate oneself back to an initial state.

Similar to Lin Tianwei's Rejuvenation Talent, but even more powerful, even involving the most mysterious Law of Time.

Cosmic Beasts with this type of Talent are collectively known as Reincarnators. They can, when their strength reaches a bottleneck, rely on their powerful Talent to live another lifetime.

Although each reincarnation is a new beginning for Reincarnators, they can inherit the insights and wealth, and even Talent potential, from their previous lives.

This also leads to Reincarnators, though wasting a lot of time, being able to forge a smoother and broader path through the accumulation of their countless lives.

Since they are living a new life, the reborn Reincarnators are naturally completely independent and can repeatedly participate in the Law Arena, repeatedly participating in one of the most rewarding novice dungeons.

Many Reincarnators even choose to reincarnate even if they haven't reached a bottleneck, just to exploit the Law Arena and continuously gain points from it.

This is equivalent to Reincarnators exploiting a bug in the Law Arena, completely running counter to the original intention of the Law Arena's establishment.

Yet, Reincarnators meet the conditions for accessing the Law Arena, leaving the Law Arena staff helpless and only able to watch.

This led to a situation where Reincarnators are very unwelcome in the Law Arena.

Under normal circumstances, Reincarnators would choose to hide themselves, disguising themselves as an inexperienced novice. There are few Reincarnators who are as blatant as Lin Tianwei.

After realizing the truth of the matter, Yoris immediately lost interest in Lin Tianwei, and even showed a look of disgust.

He, Yoris, must observe true geniuses, not Reincarnators like Lin Tianwei who cheat with their Talent, these thieves who steal points from the Law Arena.

This thief didn't even bother to hide it, directly using a Reincarnator's bug-like ability.

This behavior made Yoris feel even more provoked, and he said:

"Foolish Reincarnator, you will pay the price for your arrogance."

"You want to steal points from the Law Arena? I will make sure you don't succeed."

"I will let you know the consequences of underestimating the Law Arena. This reincarnation, you are destined to gain nothing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yoris began operating in the void. Before long, a new prompt appeared before him:

"Ding, please confirm whether to mark 'Lin' as a cheater."

"Once successfully marked, 'Lin's' Arena difficulty will automatically increase by one level, and he will be preferentially matched with other cheaters as opponents."

The Cosmic Beasts accessing the Law Arena are countless, and their Talents are even more bizarre.

Under the support of vast numbers, some special existences will more or less be born.

Although their Talents or abilities are within the rules of the Law Arena, they appear incredibly buggy and severely disrupt the balance of the Law Arena.

To ensure the normal operation of the Law Arena, the cheater mark came into being, intended to sanction these existences with special abilities.

With almost no hesitation, Yoris directly chose "Confirm." He never showed any mercy to these thieves.

"Ding, marking successful. 'Lin' has been marked as a cheater."
