I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Kurapika said, "I want a book."

“A book, with such a simple structure, shouldn’t be too difficult to materialize…” Jing Yang nodded, then realized, “A book?”

Not chains?

"The path to redemption lies within it..." Kurapika murmured, looking at Jingyang earnestly, "After hearing you explain the characteristics of materialization abilities, the first thing that came to my mind was books."

“Didn’t you say there was a sliver of hope to revive my fellow citizens of the Kurta clan?” he said firmly. “I will record all their names.”

Jing Yang said, "I thought you would develop your abilities to deal with the Phantom Troupe."

The Soul-Chasing Chain on the Ring Finger that I've been eyeing for so long... Is it really going to slip away like this, like a cooked duck that's already been caught?

“Although I hate the Phantom Troupe, murderers like them…” Kurapika’s eyes reddened as he spoke, “they are not as important as my compatriots.”

Seeing Kurapika's eyes turn red with emotion again, Shizuku exclaimed in surprise, "Your aura has increased."

What a great assist! Jingyang also saw the aura on Kurapika's body. After his eyes turned red, the concentration and size of the aura were like oil being poured on a raging fire, and it suddenly burst into flames, almost doubling in size.

He pointed to the cup containing blue dolphin mineral impurities, "It seems that the red eyes of your Kurta tribe are a special constitution. Let's test the Water Vision Technique again."

Kurapika was a little confused by them and tried to bring the air in his hand closer to the water glass again.

The amount of impurities in the cup did not increase.

Suddenly, the water in the cup transformed into a ball of red flame, burning silently before Jingyang, Xiaodi, and Kurapika's astonished eyes...

I finally got my hands on the Taiwanese edition Hunter x Hunter set that I bought during the reprint. Let me unpack it and play around with it for a bit. I'll update the rest tonight.

P.S.: Actually, being able to update regularly for this long is already pushing me to my limit...

Chapter 90 Who are you?

Wow!

After filling a new cup with water, Kurapika turned on the tap.

He released all his energy and focused intently on moving his hands to both sides of the cup filled with water.

Boom...

The water seemed to turn into alcohol and spontaneously combusted.

The fire grew larger and larger, reflected in Kurapika's fiery red eyes. He remembered the Kurta tribe's destroyed homeland...

*Whoosh*... The entire cup of water burned to ashes, turning into a raging fire that consumed everything, leaving not a single drop.

Specialization!

After entering Scarlet Eyes state, just as Chin Genko had guessed, the Nen system changed from Conjuration to Specialization.

Kurapika looked up at the living room.

Jingyang sat cross-legged on the carpet, his hands on his knees, his eyes closed.

Kurapika could clearly see the dense aura surrounding Chin Genko's entire body, which resembled a solid, thick barrier.

'Firm'.

Maintaining the practice is what constitutes perseverance.

The most basic "Entanglement" enhances defense but doesn't significantly increase attack power. Only "Training" and "Stabilization," offering both offense and defense, can greatly enhance attack power. However, "Training" is a burst of power, while maintaining "Stabilization" requires exponentially more energy. A moment of mental relaxation will lead to failure, and once mental energy is depleted, it becomes unsustainable…

Zhen Yuanzi's "firmness" at this moment, whether in terms of the size and volume of his qi or the stability of his outline, far surpasses that of himself.

More importantly, it depends on the duration.

More than an hour has passed since Kurapika began practicing "Send" by enhancing the effects of the Water Vision technique, yet Chin Genko's posture and the flow of his energy have remained perfectly steady, seemingly able to continue in this state of composure.

I wonder how much hard work this boy, who doesn't look any older than me, has put in to reach this level.

Even with such a high level of skill, he still diligently practiced his spirituality every day.

This is the world of thought...

Kurapika went to get a fresh glass of water, recovered from his fiery red eyes, put his hands on either side of the glass, and injected air into it. Gradually, dolphin-shaped impurities, like blue ore, began to precipitate out of the water.

Now that we know about the system that gives us Nen abilities, there's no need to put a leaf on it.

Kurapika continued to practice the basics of "Send," while simultaneously conceiving the Conjuration Nen ability he would formally build later.

Xiao Di was engrossed in a book, a small portion of Kurapika's retelling of "New World Chronicles: Draft," which he had compiled over the past few days. Beside her was a timer, which she had started after Jing Yang began his training in "Perseverance." The time displayed on the screen gradually exceeded 2 hours and 30 minutes, yet Jing Yang was still able to maintain a certain level of "Perseverance"...

……

Two days later, on the 188th floor of the Sky Arena, after a fierce battle that lasted a full three minutes, the referee finally defeated his opponent and loudly announced, "11 to 9! Zhen Yuanzi wins!"

Jing Yang waved to the cheering crowd and took the slip of paper printed by the referee to go to the 190th floor.

"I can't learn anything here anymore." On the way to collect the prize money, Jingyang said to Xiaodi, who had won again with ease, "It's definitely not because my skills are perfect. I guess real martial arts masters might not actually be gathered in this godforsaken place. Speaking of which, if they were real martial arts masters, they would probably have awakened Nen and become Nen users by now. Why would they still be stuck below the 200th floor!"

Xiao Di said, "That makes sense."

"But it wasn't all for nothing. At least my fighting experience has definitely increased, and I've become completely proficient in the 'Meteor Like the Wind' combat mode."

Jing Yang smiled and sighed, "The higher you go, the more I realize that. No wonder I always heard people say that martial arts practitioners are afraid of Sanda practitioners, and Sanda practitioners are afraid of weightlifters! No matter how good your technique is, it has limited use. When you encounter someone with a higher base stat, all you have is some fancy moves..."

"If I hadn't used 'Meteor Like the Wind' to force myself to suppress my power to the same level as those opponents, they probably wouldn't have been able to move me even if I stood there and let them push me, while I could have thrown them out of the Sky Arena building with a single wave of my hand."

Is this what they mean by "viewing the landscape from three angles"?

At first, I thought that strengthening my mind would be enough, that one force could overcome all methods;

Later I realized that it wouldn't be good if I didn't practice basic fighting skills. For example, if someone throws a punch at you at close range, and your first reaction is to close your eyes tightly or make the wrong choice, then you'll be in trouble.

After using the "50/50 fighting strategy" to fight my way from the first floor to the top of the Sky Arena, encountering all sorts of martial artists, fighting masters, sumo wrestlers, and so on, I suddenly realized that all those fighting techniques and experience are really nothing special...

"120 million nuns, 150 million nuns, please accept these." The staff member smiled politely.

"Thank you." Xiao Di nodded and bowed slightly. Most of the time, she was quite polite.

The two of them together amount to 270 million ni!

It's approaching 3 million.

Converted to RMB, its purchasing power is approximately 1500 million!

Jingyang was very satisfied, and even more satisfied that there was a 190-story building above.

On the 198th floor, on Arena A, Jing Yang slowly stepped onto the stage amidst cheers from the crowd and the passionate announcements from the female referee.

This time, his opponent was a mixed martial arts master with incredibly muscular physique, shiny black skin, and a solemn expression. He looked at Jing Yang seriously and said, "Zhen Yuanzi, I've watched your previous matches. You like to learn your opponent's moves during fights and use psychological warfare to defeat and torment them, right?"

"But you've miscalculated this time. I, Black Alloy, don't have any special moves you can learn!" Black Alloy clenched his fists, his muscles bulging like obsidian, his eyes gleaming. "I only have the strongest power! The most agile footwork! The fastest punching speed! That's all—"

"The match begins!" the referee announced.

At this command, Jing Yang appeared instantly in front of Black Alloy, who had delivered a powerful declaration, startling him so much that he cut off his words and instinctively threw a punch at Jing Yang, who was right in front of him.

This punch was so powerful that no one doubted it could shatter rocks, and it even produced a sonic boom.

Jing Yang, however, struck first, casually slapping Hei Jinhe's chest before Hei Jinhe's fist could hit him. A collapsed palm print was pressed into the solid, iron-like black skin and muscles.

I'm not pretending anymore, buddy, I'm a 32-ton strongman, I'm coming clean.

boom! ! !

Black Alloy's eyes rolled back as he was sent flying, crashing into the railing of the nearest audience section. He was sent flying so fast that everyone thought a blur of Black Alloy was still visible in front of Zhen Yuanzi…

The referee was stunned for a moment, until the audience erupted in a tremendous cheer after a few seconds of silence. Only then did the referee hurriedly announce: "Uh, KO! The winner is Zhen Yuanzi!"

"It seems this is your true strength," the referee said to Jing Yang, who walked over with ease. "Congratulations, Zhen Yuanzi, you are now ready to proceed to the 200th floor!"

"Thanks." Jing Yang took the slip of paper to the 200th floor and left.

Jingyang was waiting for Xiaodi outside when a stranger approached him, glaring at him with a bitter and resentful expression, and said, "That was your true strength just now, wasn't it? But don't get too cocky. Once you get to the 200th floor, you'll definitely regret being so arrogant!"

"Who are you?" Jing Yang asked, puzzled.

"..." Zhe Luo almost choked on a mouthful of blood, staring at Jing Yang with bloodshot eyes.

Jingyang suddenly realized, "You're from the 200th floor? Did you come here specifically to bully the newbies?"

"I..." Zhe Luo choked for a long time, almost choking on his breath, and finally said with a stern face, "You can think that way too! On the 200th floor, there are opponents you absolutely cannot defeat! You will pay the price for humiliating martial artists... Zhen Yuanzi! Hmph!"

He gave a heavy snort, turned around, and left, entering the elevator.

Jingyang was puzzled when he saw that the elevator was going down.

Just then, Xiao Di walked over amidst a noisy commotion from another venue and asked, "Who was that just now?"

She indeed won with a single, effortless palm strike—it seems that because Xiao Di knocked her opponents away with a single palm strike from the 1st floor to the 190th floor, she earned the nickname "Pushing Hand Xiao Di"...

Jingyang said, "I don't know him."

"Oh." Xiao Di didn't mind and went with Jing Yang to collect the prize money.

“2亿1千万戒尼，2亿4千万戒尼。请两位收好。”190级楼层的工作人员很快给两人支付了奖金。

Jingyang was in a great mood.

Having plenty of money is one thing, but making a lot of money is another.

Just like it was free, the two of them earned a total of 520 million ni in one morning, which is another matter entirely.

The bonuses below the 100th floor are negligible, but above the 100th floor, the bonuses become increasingly generous, increasing rapidly with each floor gained.

After clearing the Sky Arena level by level with Xiao Di, they roughly estimated that they had earned 8 to 10 billion Jenny in total.

10 million!

It's just spending some time each morning after breakfast, while digesting, to go to the ring and spar.

As he turned to leave, Jing Yang couldn't help but say to Xiao Di, "Damn, this money is too easy to come by. It makes me want to give up my spot in the competition right now and go back to the first floor to do it all over again..."

The staff behind them hesitated for a moment, but finally breathed a sigh of relief as they watched the two enter the elevator to the 200th floor.

……

In the elevator, Xiao Di said, "I thought Jing Yang would only go to the 200th floor tomorrow after finishing two matches today."

Jingyang said, "Haven't you always been curious?"

"Mmm." Little Drop nodded.
