Jingyang is now a little over a meter tall, and with the white fox walking beside him, he can easily reach out and pet it. As he pets it, he organizes his thoughts.
If I'm not mistaken, this little Nasti is the unfortunate prince who lost in the previous succession war in the Kakin royal family more than twenty years ago.
Because of his resentment, his spirit miraculously merged with the parasitic spirit beast bestowed by the inheritance battle ritual, causing a mutation that led him to appear in the original location of this island... As for why this island was moved from Kakin to here out of thin air, one possibility is that it was the work of the mutated remnant spirit itself, and another possibility is that this remnant spirit full of resentment was too terrifying, so the Kakin royal family took action themselves, whether by performing shamanistic rituals or casting spells, in any case, they moved it out of thin air, which can be considered as sending away this deadly young master.
While spatial Nen abilities are rare, they are not uncommon.
Leaving aside Nob's shameless skill that requires a title ban, such as "Four-Dimensional Apartment," for many Nen users who use Emission-type abilities, instantly swapping positions with their released Nen bullets, Nen beasts, or Nen puppets—that is, things like "Flying Thunder God" or "Amenotejikara"—is a relatively common technique.
But moving an entire island out of thin air is indeed a bit crazy.
However, considering that it was done by those eccentric scoundrels, it doesn't seem so strange.
Jingyang wasn't concerned about that; he was concerned about himself.
He had always suspected that his deceased godmother, who had attracted the pursuit of the First Prince of Kajin, might have been some kind of princess or even queen. He wondered if the body he had inherited, which had been artificially matured, might also have the bloodline of the Gray Flesh royal family... However, seeing that Xiaobai showed no hostility towards him, he realized he was overthinking it.
The white fox doll, which had been petted halfway, emitted a pale, ghostly aura from its head, and stared blankly at Jingyang.
"What are you looking at?" Jingyang asked with a smile.
Of course, there is another possibility.
The godmother he buried was indeed a princess or prince's wife, but the body he inherited did not have any of the bloodline of the Gray Flesh.
Who says this is necessarily contradictory?
"If that's the case, then my godmother is playing quite the trick!" Jingyang thought to himself. "That explains why she attracted so much pursuit..."
In short, Jing Yang didn't care whose bloodline this body inherited. He was a transmigrator, not someone who was actually born here, so he had no ties to anyone.
With things mostly settled on this island, Jingyang was even planning to head over to the three continents on the left side of the world map where "the plot is most intense." As for Kajin, he was on the right side of the world map; at worst, he'd never go to the Ezhen continent again. What did he care about leftovers or stale food?
"Strictly speaking, I should have been Jin's teacher."
Arantre's sudden remark, spoken as she walked ahead, nearly startled Men Qi, causing him to stumble, and also drew Jing Yang's attention back to the present.
Even the adorable little one frowned.
Arantre laughed and said, "Menqi, Jingyang, the year you got your Hunter Licenses, the Association sent a senior professional Hunter to guide you in learning Nen, right?"
The passageway ended, and there it was—an elevator.
Arantreel pressed the elevator button and went inside.
Menqi said, "Yes, I got my license last year, and not long after, professional hunters contacted me. Jingyang, what about you?"
Jing Yang chuckled, "I'm exceptionally gifted. Do I need someone to teach me Nen?"
Menqi bared her teeth at him, but Jingyang didn't bother arguing with her.
The elevator started and quickly ascended.
Arantre calmly said, "1979... that's almost 16 years ago now. That was the 267th Hunter Exam. King Freecss, who was only 12 years old at the time, was the only candidate who passed the test and obtained a Hunter License. And I was the teacher who was assigned to guide him in Nen after that."
"12 years old?" Menqi was a little surprised.
Jingyang was thinking that when Jin participated in the hunter test, the Dongba who liked to give laxative drinks to the new students must have already been active, right? He wondered how Jin had been messing with him.
Xiao Di asked curiously, "Because he learns very quickly, you turned around and asked him to be your teacher?"
“No student learns too fast, so he becomes a student’s teacher,” Arantre said.
“Then the only possibility is,” Jingyang said, “that when you met Jin, Jin was already a Nen user, and stronger than you!”
Arantriel sighed, "Yes..."
Thump, the elevator reached the top and the doors slowly opened.
“Much better than me.” Arantre reached into her suit pocket with one hand and stepped out of the elevator.
Outside is a spacious room, half of which is used as an office and the other half as a living space with sofas, bookshelves, and a small kitchen.
Jingyang and Xiaodi looked around. Three walls were huge glass windows; it turned out this was the top of the tower-like building in the amusement park.
It's already early morning, and there are basically no tourists in the amusement park, only some early-rising cleaning staff and a few security guards walking around in the distance.
As soon as the white fox doll stepped out of the elevator, it went straight to the sofa. There were some toys scattered on the carpet, so it seemed that it often came here to play.
"its not right."
Menqi gazed at the scenery for a while, then suddenly thought of something and turned back to ask in confusion, "Since Jin was already a Nen user when he participated in the Hunter Exam, why would the Association send a senior Hunter like you to guide him in awakening his Nen ability?"
Shizuku said, "Because he never used Nen when he took the Hunter Exam."
Jingyang exclaimed, "Damn it, he got me!"
Little Ditou looked at him with a question mark on her face, probably not understanding what he meant.
Arantre recalled, "Even Chairman Netero said that for him to be so foolish, King must be truly extraordinary."
Jingyang smiled and said, "To be able to win the heart of a master like you at the age of 12 is certainly no small feat."
Arantre said modestly, "I wasn't exactly a master back then."
Menqi scratched his head and asked, "By the way, what about the people who left first? Where were they teleported to when they left using the 'divine' symbol?"
"Almost forgot."
Arantriel walked behind her desk and pressed a button. Soon, many screens hung down on the wall and lit up one after another, all of them showing surveillance footage.
The surveillance footage appears to be from inside the Ferris wheel cabins, including Babima Inna, Dago, and others...
Jingyang and Xiaodi exchanged a glance and looked out the window at the same time, finding the Ferris wheel with the character "神" (God) that they had ridden on the night before.
Chapter 40 The Popularization of Reading
In the surveillance footage.
Barbima Inna remained calm, hands behind her back, motionless, as if standing at attention.
Da Gao and his group didn't have that kind of mentality. Some sat there looking depressed, while others angrily kicked and punched the character "神" (god) inside the cockpit...
Arantre pressed the call button, "Stop kicking, you'll have to pay for it if you break it."
"It's you?"
"Hey! What's going on here? Let us out!"
"What exactly did you do to us?"
"Why are we forced into 'Zetsu' and can't use our Nen abilities?!"
Da Gao and the others shouted into the speakers in their respective cockpits, which were emitting Arantriel's voice. It's no wonder they lost their composure; after entering the "Absolute," especially after being passively entered, they were even more "vulnerable" than ordinary people. Even ordinary people, even if they can't control the natural flow of their aura, still have a faint layer of aura! After being forcibly entered the "Absolute," they were truly without any protection and had no sense of security whatsoever.
Babima Inna, standing at attention in the cockpit, glanced at the surveillance camera in the corner.
Arantriel ignored their complaints and questions, holding down the call button, and continued, "As you all know, in recent years, many rumors about the True Martial King's treasure have resurfaced, leading many inexplicable individuals to come to this island to investigate after hearing some half-truths. But as you can see, there is no treasure here, and I don't want to be constantly disturbed. You are all Nen users, and what's in that tomb isn't something that can be revealed publicly, right?"
“So, after I count to three, any storage devices you have, like cell phones, will be automatically formatted,” Arantriel said, releasing the call button. The amateur hunters, including Dargo, on the monitor screen stared in disbelief before their blood pressure spiked, and they began to mutter curses at the camera in silence.
Arantelle turned around and said, "You'd better also process the data you took on your phones."
"Don't worry." Menqi nodded.
Arantriel said, "Or we can use the materials we provide, mainly the parts of the tomb that don't involve Nen abilities. That should be enough for you to go back and complete your mission."
“Okay, give me one too.” Jingyang nodded. “But there’s a problem.”
"what is the problem?"
“I don’t have a cell phone.”
Arantre chuckled, "That's easy. Our company also has a mobile phone development department. It's a rare coincidence, and Xiaobai likes you guys quite a bit, so I'll give each of you the latest model."
Despite never being short of money, Menqi was quite happy to get a new phone for free.
She turned her head and saw Little Drop's eyes full of curiosity, which puzzled her. Little Drop asked Arantriel, "What is the True Warrior King's Treasure?"
"True Martial King..."
Arantriel settled into her large office chair, her fingers interlaced. "Regarding Vihugo, who was active between four and three hundred years ago, the mainstream assessment of him is that he was a legendary king who almost unified the entire continent of Ezhen. However... according to Mr. Jin and my investigation, Vihugo actually almost unified all six continents of the world back then."
Jing Yang, whose mind was filled with the Dark Continent, was unmoved by these seemingly earth-shattering words, and Xiao Di remained expressionless and adorable. Only Men Qi was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.
Arantriel added, "Oh, saying he almost unified the six continents, actually, he did have that plan at one point."
Mencius complained, "Mr. Alan's words are too frightening! It turns out it was just his ambition..."
Arantriel shook her head and said, “It’s not just ambition. According to the fragments we found in some ruins, Vigo made ample preparations and was ready to act at any time. Mr. King also said that if Vigo had really launched his plan back then, success would have been inevitable. In other words, if that had happened, we would all be Kakin people now.”
"This is really..." Menqi didn't know what to say, and could only say in the end, "It's just too far away."
It's so ancient that it's hard to believe it's real. It's just an exaggerated historical story.
Xiao Di asked curiously, "Then why didn't he do it in the end?"
Arantre said, "I don't know. The only thing I know is that he suddenly gave up just before he was about to take action."
Jingyang said, "Is this why he locked himself in the tomb and acted so mysteriously?"
“Perhaps,” Arantriel said.
What do you mean by "unfortunate end"?
Jingyang couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
A sideways glance revealed the exasperated yet somewhat dejected Da Gao and his entourage on the surveillance footage…
……
"Is this necessary? Is this really necessary?"
After finally being released one by one from the Ferris wheel cabins, Da Gao and the others had bloodshot eyes and were cursing, but their voices weren't very loud.
Jingyang, Xiaodi, and Menqi bid farewell to Arantre and arrived here, only to find this scene.
"He should have already sent the prepared materials to your phones, right?" Menqi said, shaking her phone. "We have them too. Don't worry, that's enough to get the job done."
"Is this about the materials? We have a lot of personal data on our phones! He formatted it all!"
"This is... absolutely outrageous!"
Seeing their hesitant expressions, as if they wanted to unleash a torrent of curses, Jing Yang couldn't help but chuckle. Even disregarding Arantriel's status as a top-tier two-star hunter in the Hunter Association, her position as one of the world's wealthiest individuals was enough to crush these amateur hunters struggling to make a living. Faced with such an evil capitalist and powerful figure, Dago and his companions were too exhausted to even hurl insults.
