I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Yun Gu's pupils contracted.

Jing Yang grasped the special Nen ball, its strength doubled once more. "Didn't I already give you a hint? Let's play—"

"—Throw and catch the ball!"

He threw the psychic ball towards Yun Gu again with all his might.

Dodging won't work, blocking won't work, so we'll just have to take it one step at a time!

Faced with the incoming "400" psychic ball, Yun Gu took the initiative to meet it.

……

What on earth is this doing?

The vast majority of the thousands of spectators couldn't understand what was happening on the stage. To them, these two strange masters seemed to be performing a juggling game with perfect coordination, throwing and catching a ball without any props...

The power of that ball seems to have increased again!

Zhehao stared intently at the Nen ball that Yun Gu caught head-on.

……

Bang! Yun Gu easily caught the psychic ball.

This is also normal.

His apparent energy level, once he gets into the zone, can now be raised to at least 2500!

Moreover, knowing he was going to catch the ball with both hands, he allocated more energy to his hands, so that his defense was strong enough to withstand even 3000 units of energy's destructive power the moment he caught the ball.

What's more, this Nen Ball only has a power of "400"?

After catching the psychic ball, Yun Gu was surprised to find that it did not disappear again. He turned his hand over and saw that the number inside the psychic ball had changed to "800".

"This……"

Yun Gu was somewhat surprised, while Jing Yang on the opposite side clapped his hands impatiently and said, "What are you standing there for? It's your turn to throw the ball."

"..."

After a moment of silence, Yun Gu asked, "According to the rules, if you don't catch it, will it turn into '1600' and then teleport back to my hand?"

As he spoke, he casually released the ball, which fell freely to the ground.

The energy disappeared upon touching the ground, then with a whoosh, it appeared in Jingyang's palm.

Jingyang looked down and feigned surprise, saying, "Oh my! You were half right, the number really did become '1600'!"

"What a pity..." he chuckled, "it didn't teleport to your hands, but to mine. Looks like it recognizes its owner?"

Yun Gu adjusted his glasses, sighed, and said, "I understand. It really is still a throw-and-catch game..."

"Failure to catch the ball is a violation."

"You defended the ball, but failed to catch it with your hands before it bounced to the ground, which is also a violation."

"At the same time, the initiator must actually throw the ball towards the other party, at least across our center line, otherwise it is also a violation."

"If a violation occurs, the opponent will be awarded a second serve."

"Regardless of whether it's a violation or not, the ball's power will increase after just one toss and catch."

"Your ability is to gamble on who can get the most powerful ball in a round and successfully hit the opponent... right?"

Yun Gu looked at Jing Yang and said, "This is a move that involves exchanging injury for injury, a desperate gamble."

As a reinforcement-type user, I should clearly have stronger recovery abilities and be better at endurance battles. Zhen Yuanzi is suspected to be a manipulation-type user, so why would he think of competing with me, a reinforcement-type user, in terms of endurance?

"Correct!" Jing Yang grabbed the "1600" psychic ball in his hand. "Here you go... this is the reward!"

He made a move to throw it, but Yun Gu had already suddenly appeared in front of him and punched him in the stomach.

Chapter 101 Huabei Nianqiu

So fast!

Even those in the audience who could also use Qi almost couldn't keep up with Yun Gu's speed. The instant Zhen Yuanzi made a throwing motion, Yun Gu vanished from his spot, almost skimming the arena floor, and in a few leaps, he suddenly appeared in front of Zhen Yuanzi, throwing a punch wrapped in intense Qi at Zhen Yuanzi's abdomen.

There's no escaping it! Kurapika's eyes widened.

However, she managed to dodge it.

Yun Gu's fist, shrouded in thick qi, almost grazed Jing Yang's side...

Did you miss?

A hint of surprise flashed in Yun Gu's eyes.

His punch was aimed at speed, not at injuring Zhen Yuanzi.

The sole purpose was to interrupt Zhen Yuanzi's throwing motion.

As long as he keeps interfering with Zhen Yuanzi's successful throws, he doesn't need to worry about whether he can catch the ball or not. And if the ball stays in Zhen Yuanzi's hand, it will occupy one of Zhen Yuanzi's hands, which is a huge advantage for Yun Gu... But his sudden punch was actually twisted away by Zhen Yuanzi in the blink of an eye.

What kind of reaction speed is this?

As they passed each other, Yun Gu and Jing Yang's eyes met, and then they moved at the same time.

Yun Gu instantly changed his move, his forward momentum was stopped by stepping on him, and he changed his fist into an elbow, with his energy flowing rapidly from his fist to his elbow.

Jingyang grabbed the "1600" psychic ball in his hand and smashed it towards Yun Gu like a block.

boom!

The ball collided violently with the energy gathered at Yun Gu's elbow, producing a sound that made the air on the ring vibrate.

Such an exaggerated commotion made ordinary viewers who couldn't see the air exclaim "Holy crap!" What happened? Are they even human?

Compared to them, Jingyang was the one who was more shocked. Yun Gu's elbow strike was too powerful. When "1600" Nen ball collided with his elbow strike, it did not gain any advantage at all. Instead, the palm of his hand holding the ball was numb from the shock. Finally, the point where the two were locked in combat shook violently, and "1600" Nen ball was shaken high into the air.

Jingyang's arm was numb from the shock, his muscles ached, and his skin was oozing blood.

"Excellent attack! Yun Gu scores another point!" the referee shouted immediately.

The launched psychic ball flew towards the brightly lit arena ceiling above, while Yun Gu relentlessly pursued it with an overwhelming offensive.

However, Zhen Yuanzi's reaction speed surprised him again. Even when he was injured, Zhen Yuanzi was still able to deal with his attacks brilliantly. Every punch was handled properly, as if Zhen Yuanzi's mind was not disturbed at all, unaffected by any situation, and always in the best fighting state. He always made the most correct choice with almost instinctive speed and without thinking.

The ball soared to a high point before freely descending. Meanwhile, the two on the ring had already exchanged blows, fiercely battling dozens of times.

In such close combat, Jing Yang quickly fell into a disadvantageous position and was suppressed by Yun Gu's powerful fist and foot skills—his opponent's moves may not be better than his own, but his strength was simply too great.

Before Jing Yang could even react to the fleeting opening Yun Gu had revealed, the star on the back of his neck, guided by the instructions he had given himself, had already made its choice. It moved Jing Yang's breath and body, kicking out at the momentary opening in Yun Gu's body, striking Yun Gu hard.

boom!

Yun Gu was kicked so hard that he seemed to drift backwards several meters on the stage with a "whoosh."

His movements were already incredibly skillful...

Yun Gu steadied himself.

Yun Gu secretly admired Jing Yang's martial arts skills, let alone the other ordinary contestants and spectators.

Even Kurapika, who prides himself on his family's martial arts skills, has to admit that Chin Genko might be the most outstanding fighter he has ever seen in his life...

Of course, Xiao Di knew that Jing Yang's martial arts skills were essentially the effects of his manipulation ability, "Meteor Like the Wind."

Jingyang had told her about a member of the Phantom Troupe named Xia Ke, whose ability was very similar to hers. The difference was that Xia Ke lost his self-awareness when using his ability to control himself, letting the ability take over his body for combat. Jingyang's ability, however, was different. It was neither a completely mechanical mode nor a completely autonomous combat... but rather a complete integration of subjective consciousness and operational ability, without any distinction between them.

In Jingyang's words, this is no longer the highest good being like water, but rather like the wind.

Water is formless yet has substance, while wind is formless and intangible, completely unrestrained.

However, even Jing Yang, who fights with the freedom and joy of the wind, has sustained injuries of varying degrees due to his lack of physical strength in such high-intensity close combat.

This is even with the fact that he had a starred account that accelerated his self-healing process.

Aside from not appearing as refined and composed as before, and having expended some of his energy, Yun Gu was basically unharmed.

Jingyang shook his arm. His arm, which had been numb and bleeding from Yun Gu's elbow strike, was now gradually healing and recovering thanks to Xingbiao's healing.

He looked at Yun Gu and pointed upwards.

Yun Gu looked up and saw that the Nian ball, which had been bounced away just a few seconds earlier, had landed right next to him.

With a snap, he instinctively reached out and caught it. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the number inside the ball had changed to "3200".

Jing Yang took a deep breath and exhaled, then spread his arms and crouched slightly, assuming a goalkeeper's stance. He laughed and said, "Want to throw it? If I catch it, it'll become '6400'! Even your impenetrable defense definitely won't be able to stop it, right?"

Yun Gu thought for a moment and said, "One hand is enough to fight."

As he spoke, he grabbed the "3200" ball with his left hand, took a step forward, and slammed his right palm out at Jingyang. Boom!

A shockwave, like a tidal wave, blasted towards Jing Yang.

The area was too wide. No matter how good Jing Yang's "Meteor Like the Wind" technique was, there was nowhere to hide. He could only raise his arms. Under the powerful shockwave, his clothes were frayed and his body was churning inside.

An Emission-type technique? As expected, its power is insufficient...

But he was just trying to block my view... Through the gaps in his arms as he parried and blocked, Jingyang saw that Yun Gu had once again rushed in front of him.

Bang! The two men's fists and feet collided.

Yun Gu kept his left hand, which was holding the ball, away from Jing Yang. After releasing the force, he turned around and delivered a whip kick.

Boom! Jing Yang parried, used the momentum to retreat, and flicked his finger.

Just as Yun Gu was about to give chase, a blast of energy pierced through the dust and struck his "firm" body heavily, causing him to stumble and lose his balance.

It was at this moment that he caught a glimpse out of the corner of his eye that the Nen ball he was holding tightly in his hand was emitting a flashing red light.

What does this flashing red light mean?

While Yun Gu was still in shock, another telekinetic projectile came flying at him. Yun Gu quickly dodged, and with a bang, a small crater was blasted into the arena floor where he had just been standing.

Whoosh!Whoosh!Whoosh!

Jingyang, from a distance, fired several quick flicks of his finger technique, aiming at Yun Gu's legs!

Yun Gu dodged repeatedly while holding the ball, the red light on the psychic bullet he gripped in his hand flashing more and more frequently... He suddenly asked loudly, "Is there a time limit for holding the ball without shooting?"

Is it even possible to ask this face-to-face?
