I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

He looked at Xiaodi. Xiaodi shook her head, "I've never heard of such a thing."

The memory capacity seems to be Hisoka's personal theory in the manga... Jingyang thought that this might be similar to Hisoka's judgment of Nen abilities based on personality, a summary of Hisoka's personal experience.

As for the capacity of thought, Jingyang had long forgotten where he had seen this concept in his previous life. It seemed to be a concept that was often brought up when various scholars debated and discussed scriptures.

“Where’s our strategist? Let’s get his brilliant mind to analyze this together.” Jing Yang pulled out his phone. “His abilities are far more complex than ours…”

……

May 10th. Sky Arena, 225th floor.

Amid cheers from the audience, Yun Gu secured his ninth victory without any suspense.

Most of the players in the Sky Arena are estimated to be over 8% unorthodox, who were forcibly "baptized" to awaken their inner power, resulting in many of them suffering some degree of disability.

Not everyone is like Zhehao, who, due to his intense and twisted obsession, was born in the limited arena of a martial arts tournament, possessing that strange, evenly matched ability...

Even considering Yun Gu's strength just two or three months ago, as an enhanced type who was already skilled in arena combat, it was only natural that he would win consecutive battles in the Sky Arena.

The reason for emphasizing two or three months ago...

"He has indeed become stronger." Xiao Di looked at Yun Gu, who was declared the winner by the referee on the arena.

Jing Yang said, "If it weren't for the desire to become stronger, he wouldn't have bothered to come all the way here."

Whether they're here for the opponents gathered at Heaven's Arena or simply looking for a suitable training ground, everyone who comes here aims to become stronger—even someone like Hisoka who enjoys having fun. After all, for someone like him, the act of seeking pleasure itself brings him joy and clarity of mind. With clear-mindedness, progress in strength naturally follows.

Is your mind clear and open?

Jing Yang muttered to himself, while Kurapika beside him pondered, "Memory capacity? Nen capacity? I've never encountered such a problem before."

"If I were to analyze it, the so-called memory capacity is actually a matter of the brain's thinking ability and the allocation of concentration." He closed his eyes and said calmly, "If one's thinking is quick enough and the abilities developed are in a field that one is good at and familiar with, then there will be no problem with insufficient memory capacity..."

Jing Yang said, "An overly complex ability requires a lot of energy to build and even more attention to maintain. Beginners can't even maintain 'Entanglement' while engaging in actual combat. Once they want to fight, their qi will become disordered... In this case, for beginners, engaging in Entanglement and actual combat at the same time will lead to insufficient memory capacity."

“Commonly known as ‘pig brain overload’,” Jing Yang nodded. “But with practice, beginners will improve and eventually be able to maintain their ‘strength’ while engaging in actual combat, and at the same time analyze the enemy’s abilities while maintaining their own…”

With enough talent, one can even achieve something like Gold = Freecss in the comics.

What will it be like?

Jin is a monster; he can immediately learn any offensive ability that he has personally experienced.

For example, in the manga, Leorio, one of the four main characters, punched Ging with a ranged attack, and Ging was able to use it on his own as soon as he turned around.

He can not only use it, but also apply it to other situations and deduce more uses and abilities.

Memory capacity?

As long as you have enough experience, talent, and understanding of Nen, there's no need for such concerns...

Perhaps in the eyes of a master like Ging, no matter how varied and numerous the Nen abilities may be, they can ultimately be simplified and their essence revealed.

For him, learning and using new abilities might be as easy as Jingyang maintaining "entanglement" in all his movements, whether walking, sitting, or lying down.

"As for the so-called Nen capacity..." Kurapika pondered, "I think it might just be 'Nen quantity', just a different name. For example, my own Nen ability, assuming my Nen quantity is 100, I need to spend 60 to materialize all six books, so I only have 40 left to do other things. Naturally, I can't develop another Nen ability that also costs 60—unless I'm willing to give up using the original six books."

Xiao Di asked curiously, "Does your ability require 60% of your energy?"

"It's just an example..."

To give an example, take Gon, the protagonist of the manga. In the early stages of the Chimera Ant arc, his total Nen capacity was 20,000. A single Rock-Paper-Scissors move consumes 4,000 Nen, meaning that even if he did nothing, he could only unleash a maximum of five Rock-Paper-Scissors moves. Assuming Gon could develop more Nen abilities that also consume 4,000 Nen, he could only develop a maximum of four more—any more than that, given his Nen capacity, he couldn't even demonstrate them all. In actual combat, considering other factors like energy consumption, even if he had five special moves of the same level as Rock-Paper-Scissors, he could only choose to use two or three at most. That's the limitation of his Nen capacity.

Therefore, you either have to give up too many Nen techniques, or continue to increase the total amount of Nen.

“This is my understanding,” Kurapika asked curiously. “Didn’t your master answer these questions?”

"Who told you I have a master?" Jingyang said, even more puzzled. "I was born with that skill."

Kurapika was speechless, staring with dead fish eyes. Was this guy showing off?

"Impressive, right? How can you be the boss if you're not a little impressive?" Jing Yang laughed. "Besides, even with proper guidance, you might not learn everything..."

As they walked out, they looked towards Yun Gu, who was waving to them from the end of the passage.

Chapter 98 What Susanoo?

Take Yung Valley for example.

In the manga, he was assigned by the Hunter Association after the main duo, Gon and Killua, passed the Hunter Exam, to be Gon and Killua's mentor in learning Nen abilities, much like Gintaur was to Menchi... However, this clueless guy only taught Gon and Killua the basics and then left it at that, without even touching on the actual Nen abilities derived from "Send".

Cloud Valley naturally has its reasons. For example, for Gon, who is an Enhancement type, there's no need to deliberately pursue Nen abilities; and Killua, the Zoldyck, has no right to interfere with the Hunter Association's development of his Nen abilities...

However, compared to Izanabi, Kurapika's mentor in the manga, it's hard not to think that Cloud Valley is really unreliable.

Kurapika trained with Izena for half a year, not only learning Nen but also becoming proficient in advanced techniques like "Invisibility." He even managed to create his own Nen chain, meaning he was able to single-handedly kill Uvogin of the Phantom Troupe and kidnap the Phantom Troupe's leader...

It can only be said that there are differences between mentors.

Yun Gu had no idea what Jing Yang was thinking about him. After the three of them approached, he smiled and said, "I've also got 9 wins."

Jingyang gestured for him to proceed.

Yun Gu gladly stepped forward and went with him to the front desk to collect the new battle application form.

Under the excited gaze of the receptionist, they quickly filled out the forms and handed them back. The pretty young woman glanced at them, practically bursting with excitement, and maintained her smile, saying, "Okay, we'll arrange your duel for May 15th. Please make thorough preparations over the next five days..."

Zhen Yuanzi is challenging Yun Gu to a duel!

Both players are 9-0! Whoever wins will set a record of 10 consecutive wins and earn the right to challenge the host!

This is so interesting!

Xiao Di looked curiously at the excited female staff member, who coughed and reminded him, "Xiao Di, your 90-day preparation period for the battle has passed, and you already have one loss. If you have four losses before reaching 10 wins, you will be disqualified from the competition..."

"Oh," Little Drop said with a slight bow, "Thank you."

Is this something to say thank you for?

Watching the four people leave and enter the elevator, the female staff member at the front desk stood there bewildered, completely unable to understand the thought process of this little contestant.

"That's right! The duel between Zhen Yuanzi and Yun Gu is still more important... Oh my!" The female staff member excitedly took out her phone, secretly dialed a number for her best friend, and excitedly muttered a series of words, "It's going to be very exciting. I'm going to take half a day off on the 15th to go watch the match!"

What kind of job is this!

If you can't attend class one day, this is such a great match, you might miss it and never have another chance!

……

After parting ways with Yun Gu on the 200th floor, Jing Yang and the other two continued to descend in the elevator. Through the transparent glass dome, they could see the fierce battles taking place in different arenas within the Sky Arena, floor by floor.

A notable characteristic is that the closer to the ground and the lower the floor, the more arenas are contained within the same fighting arena...

"By the way, Kurapika, have you completed all your Nen abilities?" Jingyang turned his head and asked.

"Pretty much," Kurapika said.

"About how much difference?"

"I still need to improve my methods for direct combat... Didn't you remind me that it's best to train in the mountain style? I chose to materialize books, which lack direct combat power, so I also included techniques in the transformation category..."

As Kurapika spoke, he raised his right hand.

Jingyang and Xiaodi both saw that the energy swirling around his right hand gradually changed its shape, condensing into... a skull's hand.

The skull's hand is large and can expand forward and in all directions as the energy extends, increasing the attack range.

"I knew you were smart and talented," Jing Yang commented, "but I didn't expect you to be this smart and talented. Just developing six books with such complex mechanisms is already quite an achievement, and you've even managed to develop the Transformation System to this extent?"

Kurapika smiled slightly, and the skull-shaped aura in his hand dissipated, transforming into a materialized black book.

On the book cover, there is a flame-like number "2".

"Book Two..." Xiao Di muttered to herself upon seeing this.

"Forgot the name?" Jing Yang gently flicked her head. "If I remember correctly, the second volume is called 'Hellfire'."

Kurapika turns to the first page of "Hellfire," which can probably be considered the title page.

On the title page is a drawing of a gigantic skull covered in bone spikes, grotesque and terrifying, yet possessing a tragic air...

“I call it ‘Skull Knight,’” Kurapika said slowly, lowering his eyes. “With the help of this book, I can develop it more quickly.”

"Don't tell me that whatever you draw on will come to be..." Jing Yang squinted.

“Perhaps,” Kurapika asked, “but even ‘Skull Rider’ is not completely finished yet.”

In reality, although he could accelerate the development of his Transmutation abilities by leveraging the effects of the second book, "Hellfire," all of this was based on the premise that the effects of the second book could be maximized.

In other words, in the process of developing the Transformation system with the help of the second book, he must first materialize the book and then activate Scarlet Eyes throughout the entire process.

The scarlet-eyed Nen ability 'Absolute Time' consumes one hour of life force for every second it lasts...

Jingyang said, "In short, we'll talk about the Phantom Troupe once your Nen ability is fully developed."

"I'm not a full member yet, I understand." Kurapika closed his eyes, silently fuming for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Are you confident you can defeat Cloud Valley?"

"Why are you so competitive? It's just a competition; it doesn't matter who wins or loses," Jing Yang said earnestly. "It's not a life-or-death duel; what matters is having fun."

Kurapika is such a maverick... his deadpan expression returns once again.

After he left, Xiao Di heard Jing Yang muttering, "Zhao, what Susanoo!"

"Hmm?" Little Drop asked, puzzled.

"I mean, I completely forgot..."

"Forgot what?" Little Drop asked curiously.

"His ring! The code name for the 'C' ring hasn't been added yet..."

"What code name should Jingyang give him?"

"Well, that's a secret that can't be revealed!"

"Jingyang hasn't made up his mind yet?"

"That's right..."

The two chatted idly as they walked along the street towards their apartment. Mid-air, a tarantula, perched on the back of a crow, glided through the air, its beak opening in a rather human-like manner, as if yawning…

……

The day has finally come to May 15th!
