I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Writing isn't going well, so I'm thinking of asking for a day off tomorrow to clear my head and get my thoughts organized...

Chapter 109 Revelation

Kurapika imagined the scene: a corner of an abandoned building was piled high with Red Eyes, and a homeless man was taking them away like trash...

He controlled his emotions and asked, "Is this some kind of transaction method used by the Phantom Troupe?"

Jingyang wanted to say yes.

However, judging from someone's comment in the manga that "the captain is fickle," Chrollo is the type who will stop at nothing to get the treasure he wants, but once he gets tired of it, he'll probably discard it like trash...

Jing Yang sighed, "The Phantom Troupe is a group of thieves, not a business. If they want money, they'll just rob people; they won't trade with others."

The Phantom Troupe slaughtered Kurapika's entire clan, and these Scarlet Eyes were probably just carelessly tossed aside by Chrollo in that roadside building after the novelty wore off, without any protection whatsoever, because he simply didn't care.

“A homeless man, just a homeless man,” Jing Yang said. “According to the intelligence, even the homeless man who mistakenly entered the abandoned building was stunned by the beauty of those piles of fiery red eyes. He immediately realized that these eyeballs must be very valuable, which is why he didn’t just throw them away or destroy them. That’s how they ended up in the hands of different people…”

This time, Kurapika could no longer hold back, his eyes turning red as if two angry flames were burning.

The Scarlet Eye, a precious relic of their kin, was merely discarded trash in the eyes of those murderous spiders? If they cared so little, why did they so cruelly slaughter all the Kurta people to obtain it? Did these people... possess even the slightest shred of humanity?

"Once he enters his Scarlet Eyes state, his aura is almost on par with mine..." Shizuku thought to herself, looking at Kurapika who was struggling to control his anger, "but he's much weaker than Jingyang."

My current energy level is around 14,000.

Jingyang's figure is 18,000.

After Kurapika enters his Scarlet Eyes state due to anger, his Nen energy increases dramatically, probably reaching 15,000 at the moment... So Kurapika's normal Nen energy is probably around 5000.

“The good news is that you can now handle retrieving the Scarlet Eyes and taking revenge on the Phantom Troupe separately,” Jing Yang said. “The bad news is that, as far as I know, there’s a pervert who likes to collect human parts and will definitely obtain a significant portion of the Scarlet Eyes through various channels.”

"Who is it?" Kurapika asked, looking up.

“A person of high rank and power, someone who is second only to the emperor and above tens of millions of people in a country,” Jing Yang said responsibly. “In some ways, he is more difficult to deal with than the entire Phantom Troupe combined.”

Kurapika's pupils contracted, and he finally nodded silently.

If it were Kurapika, who had been living in seclusion in his clan's retreat a year or two ago, he probably wouldn't have understood the meaning of Jingyang's words. But having lost his entire clan and lived alone in this unfamiliar outside world for so long, Kurapika had collected a lot of information and studied the history of various places, especially the history of wars, which made him understand what Zhen Yuanzi meant by "high position and power".

What Jingyang was referring to was, of course, the fourth prince of the Kajin Kingdom, that pervert who liked to select young and beautiful women, skin them alive, dismember them, and collect them.

This character appeared in the early stages of the Dark Continent Crossing arc of the manga, before Jingyang had reached the stage of "illustrated novels" that he was too lazy to read. Therefore, he still remembered him—especially the panel where the Fourth Prince appeared. The perverted man sat arrogantly in a chair, with a wall behind him filled with collections of human body parts and tanks containing the Red Eyes solution. In one of these tanks, the solution contained the head of a boy.

Readers of the manga from the previous life speculated that the severed head was most likely Kurapika's former close friend.

The information Jingyang bought from the Hunter website yesterday indirectly corroborated this point.

Among the scarlet-eyed "goods" discovered by the homeless man was indeed a well-preserved boy's head. It's unclear why the Phantom Troupe members, while simply gouging out the eyes of others, specifically chopped off the boy's head and eyes and took it away.

"So whether it's dealing with the Phantom Troupe or that high-ranking, freakish guy, what you need to do now is accumulate strength," Jing Yang advised. "Before you officially confront them, find the Scarlet Eyes through other channels and then make any further plans."

He stared at Kurapika, his tone tinged with seriousness, "Don't forget, you're now Suzaku of Akatsuki. Your life is meant to last until you explore the Dark Continent with me, the boss. Before that, don't even think about dying—otherwise, wouldn't all my training of you have been for nothing?"

"I won't die."

Kurapika closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were back to their usual black color. "I will not die until my people are resurrected."

Even if only one, or even a portion, can be resurrected...

That's what makes life meaningful, right?

“That’s right!” Jing Yang patted his shoulder and slowly uttered a name, “Neil = Chadman.”

Kurapika snapped back to reality and stared intently at Jingyang.

Jing Yang said, "This is the only person whose identity can be confirmed who currently possesses the Crimson Eyes, based on the information I obtained with Xiao Di yesterday."

Shizuku then opened her phone, found the photos of the intelligence she had taken yesterday, and showed them to Kurapika.

The photo is another photo.

Nair Chadman, male, 34 years old, resident of Waterloo City, Republic of Minbo...

Kurapika's eyes immediately ignited in a fiery red light, his aura surged, and he raised his hand to materialize a dolphin-shaped bookshelf floating in mid-air, "Volume Four."

"The fourth book, 'Revelation'." The dolphin said, and a book floated out of the bookshelf and landed in Kurapika's hands.

Wow!

The book opened in his hands, and Kurapika's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the photo of a man named Nair Chadman on the phone screen that Shizuku was holding up.

"What are you doing?" Jingyang asked, puzzled.

Shizuku looked at the book in Kurapika's hand—once the pages were blank, strange and distorted words or patterns gradually appeared. Eventually, these indeterminate patterns became a complete mess, like the painting of an ancient god, chaotic and indescribable.

Kurapika sighed, removed the "Book of Revelation" and the dolphin bookshelf, closed his eyes, and said, "I knew it wouldn't work. I need to have actually seen this person, or at least have some of their belongings..."

Jingyang suddenly realized, "You want to use the 'Book of Revelation' to divine this person's position?"

An image of an old witch wearing a pointed hat and performing a ritual over a crystal ball flashed into Xiao Di's mind...

Kurapika nodded and said, "The effect of 'Apocalypse' is only at its strongest when you enter Scarlet Eyes mode, but even then, you need enough 'information' to support it, otherwise, like before, you won't get any credible results..."

Good heavens, this must have been specially prepared for the Phantom Troupe! Jing Yang nodded in satisfaction. Isn't this just a different version of the Ring Finger Soul-Chasing Chain?

In the manga, Kurapika used his ring finger's Soul Chain, like a map navigation tool, to search for the location of the yakuza heiress.

However, besides needing to have seen the target in person and have sufficient information, there should also be some kind of time limit... Otherwise, wouldn't Kurapika in the manga be able to locate the Phantom Troupe at any time using his Ring Finger Soul Chain?

“Don’t bother. When it comes to finding someone, names and details are more useful.” Jing Yang smiled and took out the hunter’s license he had found. “Basic personal information like this can be easily found through the hunter website. It even shows where he recently checked into a hotel…”

There will definitely be more than two chapters today...

Chapter 110 See you in a bit

As mentioned before, the Hunter world has an international server that stores everyone's identity information, and theoretically even abandoned babies are obligated to register their identities.

V5 is the dominant force in this international order.

The Hunter Association is a partner of V5, and most of the privileges granted by the Hunter License come from it.

Therefore, most information can be found on hunter websites through a hunter's license.

Information, especially from ordinary people.

As long as you're willing to spend money, you can buy any intelligence information on the Hunter website, and information about ordinary people is the most complete and worthless among them.

Jingyang and Xiaodi took Kurapika to an internet cafe. After turning on the computer and swiping their cards, they obtained all of Niel Chadman's personal information and recent activities in less than 3 minutes, costing around 2 Jenny. Of course, this information was recorded using his identity information, such as where he ate, where he traveled, where he took public transportation, which hospital he registered at, and what fees he had recently paid.

They even knew exactly how many properties he owned in the city where he lived.

"In Waterloo City, Neil Chadman owns a total of three properties." Jing Yang looked at the information on the screen. "Six months ago, he purchased the third property, and it was after that that his daily and monthly expenses skyrocketed..."

Xiao Shi said, "He probably resold the Scarlet Eyes that he had acquired."

“Even so, we must find this person first,” Kurapika said. “Watru City, I’ll book the tickets now.”

"Buy 3 tickets," Jingyang said.

Kurapika looked at him.

“You’re just a greenhorn, this is your first mission, I’ll keep an eye on things for you to feel at ease,” Jing Yang waved his hand and said, “Don’t mention it.”

Kurapika looked at Shizuku.

Standing behind Jingyang's chair, Xiaodi said, "The organization's second rule is that comrades help each other."

Jingyang, sitting in the chair, looked up and almost couldn't see Xiaodi's chin. He said, "I thought you were going to say, 'Jingyang, wherever you go, I'll go...'"

Xiao Di said, "More or less?"

Seeing that they had actually started chatting, Kurapika exclaimed in surprise, "Aren't you going to explain what 'Jingyang' meant earlier?"

"What's there to explain?" Jingyang asked, puzzled. "My name is Jingyang, after all."

"Aren't you called Zhen Yuanzi?"

"I'm also called Tiandao (Heavenly Way)."

Kurapika choked for a moment, then immediately understood Jingyang's meaning. The so-called "Zhen Yuanzi" was probably the code name he used in the Heaven's Arena.

Kurapika then looked at Shizuku.

Xiao Di said, "My name is Xiao Di."

Kurapika then looked at Jingyang.

Jing Yang laughed and said, "That freak I mentioned before, who might hold some of the power and influence of the Fiery Eyes, is a real headache not only for you, but for me too!" He stood up and stretched out a hand. "I had a feeling that I would run into that freak sooner or later. Now that I have a general like you who will also have to face that freak sooner or later, I feel much more at ease."

So, Jingyang chose to use a pseudonym to avoid that person?

Kurapika seemed to be deep in thought, then reached out and shook hands with Jingyang.

Jingyang patted his arm. "Let's go, buy tickets, let's go to Waterloo City."

……

Kajin's fourth prince is the same brother as the eldest prince, so although Jingyang's words caused Kurapika to misunderstand slightly, the deviation was not significant.

On the airship bound for Waterloo, Jingyang and Xiaodi sat by the window, gazing at the rolling sea of ​​clouds outside.

The last time we looked at this scenery together was...

The airship exploded that time.

If it explodes again this time, there will be no help from the kind-hearted Paliston.

Thinking back, that was three and a half months ago.

After three and a half months, Xiao Di and I were separated because of that unlucky guy Lei Zha, but we quickly reunited at the Sky Arena, where we farmed towers, visited tourist attractions, and trained together...

Three and a half months ago, I only had 9,000 Qi, but now it has more than doubled to over 18,000.

More importantly, it's about improving my overall strength. Now, even if I lose my Nen ability or am forced into "Zetsu," I can still climb from the first floor to the 200th floor of the Heaven's Arena without taking any damage.

With just the development and application of the "Meteor Like the Wind" ability, even if I were to fight my past self from three and a half months ago with the same intensity of energy, I could probably pin my past self to the ground and beat him to a pulp without giving him a chance to fight back.

If the new "Huabei Naoqiu" ability is added, then I can win completely even with only half the Naoqiu power, or even less.

Overall, Jingyang is satisfied with his experience, growth, and gains in the Sky Arena during this period.
