I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

“Therefore, we need to think of a way to improve our Nen abilities,” Jingyang pondered.

He doesn't plan to use Star Mark in the arena, and the same goes for Flying Star Bubble; both will be banned.

The "Flick of the Finger" technique seems prone to accidental injury when surrounded by spectators. The audience are all ordinary people; even a mere glancing blow or contact with the "Flick of the Finger" would likely result in death or serious injury. If things go wrong, you'd have to clean up the mess with a spoon... Unless you find the perfect angle, this move should be used with extreme caution.

We need to find ways to develop new capabilities!

It needs to be suitable for one's own situation, suitable for ring battles, and also have the ability to overcome stronger opponents...

"Basic training, developing abilities, and also securing 8 more wins," Jing Yang said with a smile. "The next three months look like they're going to be quite fulfilling!"

Chapter 94 Abyss

They need to win 8 games in 3 months.

To be on the safe side, Jingyang's tentative plan is to apply for one competition per week.

If you win every time, you can get 8 wins in 2 months.

Even if we're unlucky and have a mishap, we still have a month left. Otherwise, we'll use the last month as a final sprint to prepare for the match against Yun Gu.

……

Jingyang made his plans, and Xiaodi followed him.

She left Meteor City because she couldn't find anything to do, and originally wanted to meet the Phantom Troupe, but unexpectedly met Jingyang before that.

When Jingyang was cultivating, she would cultivate alongside him.

She went along to watch Jingyang's competition.

Jingyang wanted to play, so she played with him... Although it sounded like she lacked her own opinions, and although it wasn't apparent from her usual demeanor, Xiaodi genuinely felt that this kind of life was very enjoyable, or at least very relaxing.

Kurapika, of course, continues to train his Nen abilities and will also go to watch Jingyang's matches to gain knowledge and experience.

Jingyang taught him all of the four elements of entanglement, severance, practice, and release, as well as the applied techniques of condensation, firmness, completeness, hardness, and flow.

Kurapika has excellent comprehension skills, and most importantly, he knows how to apply what he's learned to other situations. He also has a particularly strong initiative in learning. For example, when Jingyang was teaching him "Concealment," he immediately brought up another major application technique of Nen, "Hiddenness." He thought that since there are techniques to see through the movement of other people's Nen, there should also be techniques to avoid being easily seen through.

It was truly a meeting of equals, a chance to meet a kindred spirit. Jingyang also had some thoughts on the two remaining aspects of 'concealment' and 'roundness' that he had not yet mastered.

"Concealment" is an application skill of "Absolute". Its purpose is to hide the skill of "Shoot", enhance stealth, make the enemy not see that you are launching a sneak attack, or quietly set a trap.

For example, if Jingyang can skillfully use "Invisibility," then he can use "Flying Star Bubble" to make it "invisible." As long as the enemy doesn't keep a close watch and use "Condensation" to observe the entire time, they won't be able to see the existence of "Flying Star Bubble" at all...

Jingyang had always found the application of this so-called "Absolute" technique awkward. "Absolute" meant sealing off all the body's pores and locking the Qi inside. Since "Concealment" was an application of "Absolute," and the Qi created by "Emitting" didn't have any pores, how could it be sealed off or locked?

The two engaged in numerous discussions on this topic, always gaining valuable insights from each one.

Jingyang has a deeper grasp and understanding of Nen, and his ideas are more flexible, while Kurapika is more quick-witted and agile, always able to get to the heart of the matter and open up new avenues of thought.

When she turned around, she found that Xiao Di had overheard their discussion and mastered the art of "concealment".

Jingyang and Kurapika saw that Xiaodi's hands were "empty," so they silently used "Condensation" to gather energy in their eyes. Sure enough, they saw the "Bulging-Eyed Fish," a vacuum cleaner with a wide-open mouth that Jingyang was used to seeing.

"Ah, it worked!" Little Drop said.

Jing Yang stroked his chin, pondering, "Is there a difference in skill level between Concealment and Condensation? If Concealment is strong enough, Condensation players with insufficient skill won't be able to see through it; if Condensation is strong enough, no matter how Concealment is used, it can be seen through at a glance, and so on..."

Kurapika said in surprise, "So you're a Conjuration type too."

Seeing his hesitant expression, Jingyang couldn't help but wonder, "Just say what you want to say. Tell your boss, are you having any difficulties in life?"

Xiao Di dispersed the bulging-eyed fish into a ball of energy and retrieved it, saying, "He probably wants me to provide some experience in materializing cultivation items."

"Hmm..." Kurapika nodded in agreement, "Is that alright?"

"Fine, I'll teach you then." Jing Yang snapped his fingers and said, "Little Di, tell Lao San what the rules of our Akatsuki organization are."

Xiao Di said, "I'll listen to the boss."

"Not this sentence. It's another sentence."

"Non-interference, mutual assistance, and mutual betrayal."

"Hey, that's right!" Jingyang patted Kurapika on the shoulder. "Let's help each other out. I'll help you today, and you'll help me tomorrow, isn't that great?"

So even if you replace the chains with books, you absolutely must retain the functional design of the ring finger's soul-chasing chain!

This allows Xiao Di to add some of Jing Yang's personal touches while guiding Kurapika, providing a little guidance.

Kurapika pondered for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Aren't the organization's two rules contradictory?"

Jingyang said, "Hey, what makes you say that?"

"On one hand, you have to listen to the boss, and on the other hand, you have to not interfere with each other. Isn't that a contradiction? Not interfering with each other but helping each other seems a bit strange."

“What’s so strange about that? If an organization member seeks help, the other members should try their best to help. If they don’t want to be interfered with, the other members will not interfere.” Jing Yang said earnestly, “All the rules of the Xiao organization are based on the first rule.”

"In other words, the final interpretation is yours," Kurapika sighed. "I understand."

Jing Yang laughed and said, "The boss is often just an empty shell. I just keep an eye on the overall direction of the organization. For example, we must go to the Dark Continent. As long as you are a member of the organization, you must be of one mind on this point and try your best to keep up with the team. If you can't keep up, you should ask other members to help you keep up. As for other matters, we don't have a strict structure. We can discuss and decide together."

……

One week later. On February 22nd, at 3 PM, the arena on the 211th floor was once again filled with a similarly large crowd of spectators, their cheers like a sea.

"...Zhen Yuanzi currently has a record of 1 win and 0 losses! On the other side is Hu Eryou, who currently has a record of 5 wins and 2 losses! Who will be the winner of this match?"

Amidst the referee's usual enthusiastic announcements, Jingyang began his second match on the 200th floor of the Sky Arena.

The opponent was a strange man with a face covered in bandages and wearing a hood.

It is estimated that he suffered a severe injury to his face or head during his baptism, leaving him with a disability.

After the referee announced the start of the match, the bandaged weirdo on the other side suddenly shook his wide sleeves, and a lot of crumpled paper balls came out.

"Waste paper?" Kurapika in the stands was surprised.

Yun Gu said, "With the support of Qi, even a piece of paper shouldn't be underestimated—wait, Zhen Yuanzi really does have a knack for dealing with opponents who rely on manipulation..."

He said this because the crumpled paper balls that the bandaged monster had shaken off on the stage had started to move, unfolding one after another, folding themselves, and rapidly turning into paper airplanes. They looked like a dozen or so fighter jets, patrolling back and forth around the bandaged monster. With a flick of the bandaged monster's sleeve, two "fighter jets" were dispatched, whistling as they pierced towards Jing Yang.

"Are you all going to turn into fireflies too?"

Jing Yang dodged away, but unexpectedly, the two paper airplanes seemed to have a tracking function. They did a 360° flip behind Jing Yang and spun around, rushing towards him again.

"Firm!"

Jingyang released a large amount of energy from his body, forming an impenetrable wall.

boom! boom!

Two paper airplanes collided with Jingyang, causing a real explosion and flames like a plane crash, startling everyone.

However, before the miniature flames had even dissipated, Jing Yang's unharmed hand emerged from the thick smoke and reached for the bandages on the bandaged monster's face.

The latter was startled and dodged backward, while at the same time waving all of the dozen or so paper fighters around him at Jing Yang.

Jing Yang gathered a certain amount of energy in his hand, and then, in the simplest and most direct way, waved it at the dozen or so paper airplanes that were rushing towards him. The energy was "released" in the most crude way, forming a wave of energy.

This kind of casually released energy wave wouldn't cause much damage to even a Nen user with a little strength, even if they only use "Entangle" to defend themselves.

But it's just the right amount of paper airplane that explodes upon impact.

boom! boom! boom! …

One paper airplane after another wobbled and exploded in the blast wave.

The bandaged monster somehow managed to fly up to the ceiling by stepping on another giant paper airplane. His eyes were filled with shock as he watched everything that was happening on the arena. His painstakingly crafted paper airplane had been so easily cracked.

Just as he was stunned, the dust on the arena cleared, revealing Jing Yang pointing his finger at him.

Jingyang laughed and said, "You went all the way up to the sky because you were worried I might accidentally hurt the audience? Thanks!"

boom!

With a flick of his finger, the divine power transformed into a streak of white light, knocking down the large paper airplane that had floated onto the ceiling, along with the bandaged monster...

2 wins!

The audience cheered loudly, and Yun Gu smiled and said, "Very solid basic skills."

Is it possible to cultivate both Emission-type abilities and other skills?

……

3天后。2月25号，下午1点，208楼斗技场。

Jingyang received a text message from Yun Gu informing him that he had a match today.

"It seems he plans to have one match every 10 days," Xiao Di said, looking at the arena. "If he gets 8 wins in 80 days, he's more likely to win all of them than you, Jing Yang."

Before Jing Yang could even speak, the match on the stage was already over.

It was impossible to discern much from the opponent's strength. Yun Gu, with his unshakeable raw power, directly crushed his opponent. Taking advantage of the opponent's momentary lapse in attention, he knocked the opponent unconscious with a single punch, securing victory without any suspense.

Amidst the applause of countless spectators, Yun Gu on the stage looked towards Jing Yang and Xiao Di.

Jingyang gave a thumbs up from afar.

"Doraemon, let's go back and practice more! Our goal this week is to advance another small step and get 15,000 Qi!" Jingyang turned and left, "Let's get fired up! Let's get fired up!"

"What does 'burning' mean..." Xiao Di followed and walked into the passage to leave.

……

Life continued on uneventfully.

Within a month, Jingyang successfully won 4 consecutive victories, bringing his total to 5 wins and 0 losses.

Zhen Yuanzi's fame spread far and wide throughout the Sky Arena.

Others go through great lengths to gain the right to challenge the host, and few are willing to waste the 90-day preparation period that resets after each match. But this guy is different. In just over a month, he won 5 matches in a row, easily completing half of the path to becoming the host.

However, Jingyang himself is not at the Sky Arena most of the time, but lives with Xiaodi in a rented apartment.

On March 1st, Kurapika announced that his ability development had finally made progress.

The three of them gathered in the living room of the apartment, and Jingyang and Xiaodi, the two teachers, began to inspect the goods—uh, to examine Kurapika's training results.

Without further ado, Kurapika focused intently on releasing a ball of energy from his hands, quickly transforming it into a realistic substance according to the "blueprint" he had thoroughly mastered over the past month.

call!
