Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

If that's the case, then this guy is incredibly audacious and overconfident.

"Reckless?" Satsuki stroked his sexy mustache and said quietly, "It seems like the word 'fear' doesn't exist in the Zoldycks' dictionary."

Their audacity is hardly surprising.

"Hehe~ That's a pity. Since you don't want to accept it, I won't force you."

"But hey~ shouldn't we pay an appearance fee?" Sean, with an ice dragon on his head and a stern face, looked at Netero and said, "Being stared at like a monkey has caused me so much mental damage. The president should at least give me an explanation, right?"

Netero: "."

Even a brat should know when to stop coming up with clever excuses.

"Hehehe~ What appearance fee? You can't be like your grandpa, he's shameless, you have to have some self-respect."

“Hmm, that’s true, but…” Sean changed the subject, squinting at Netero, and said, “Old man, stop talking nonsense. I promised you, so you have to let me have some fun, right?”

"Why not—" the young man cracked his knuckles, flashing Netero a set of white teeth, "Let's just have some fun here today!"

Um... play? How do you play?

"What does this mean, uncle?" Xiao Jie scratched the back of his head, looking a little confused.

"Idiot! Can't you see? He's going to fight that old man!" Leorio punched Gon.

Not only Xiao Jie, but everyone present stared at Sean in disbelief after hearing his outrageous words, without a doubt that he had gone mad!

Someone with a brain wouldn't say something like that.

The other party is the president of the Netero Hunter Association! The world's strongest martial artist! Not some manga fan of yours. Please, wake up, you idiot!

Netero chuckled but remained silent. Buhara and Saci, who were behind him, exchanged a glance, thinking to themselves, "Just as I thought." Menchi, who was in charge of this exam, was standing next to them and never expected this to happen. At this moment, out of a sense of duty, he stepped forward and said, "This matter arose because of me, so why don't you let me handle it?"

After all, she was the real examiner for this round.

However, before Menchi could react, a flying card landed at her feet with a "whoosh," blocking her path. Menchi frowned and looked at Xisuo.

The magician chuckled, making no attempt to conceal his murderous intent, and said, "Anyone who dares to spoil my fun, I'll kill them!"

A battle between two of the most tempting apples of the world. Could there be anything more exciting or thrilling? Hisoka will not allow anyone to disrupt this battle.

To Hisoka's surprise, his pitiful killing intent was utterly inadequate. His wave of the hand was shattered by Netero's withered old hand.

"Young man, don't be so hot-tempered," the guild leader said expressionlessly, glancing at Hisoka before turning away and taking a light step forward. In that instant, he was standing before Sean, his eyes fixed intently on him. "Your grandfather told me to do this," he said.

"Don't cry if you lose later!"

"Of course!" Sean laughed. "You too!"

"So many people are watching~ It wouldn't sound good if word got out that you were crying~"

The young man's eyes narrowed slightly, and he silently uttered "Sage~", initiating the appraisal.

The deep six-pointed star shimmered, and Netero's attribute panel was displayed in full before Sean.

[Name: Netero Isaac]

Bone age: 119 years.

[Strength: 578458 (Ordinary Person 10) Note: Fourfold Limit Break]

[Speed: 754581 (10 for ordinary people) Note: Quadruple Limit Break]

[Qi Capacity: 715688 (10 for an average person) Note: Fourfold Limit Break]

Overall Strength Rating: B

Very strong! It has to be admitted that this person is the strongest that Sean has ever seen so far, apart from Maha!

All three major categories have reached the fourth level of limit breaking. This is only because the opponent is getting older and his qi and blood are declining. If time could be turned back to the opponent's peak, it is hard to imagine how strong he would have been then!

Sean took a deep breath, and two divine flames ignited in his pupils with a "whoosh," burning fiercely and captured by Netero.

The strongest human also narrowed his eyes. Just a moment ago, he truly felt as if he had been scanned by X-rays, experiencing a rare feeling of being completely seen through. This was truly a rare occurrence, something that hadn't been seen in years.

"Hehehe~ Not bad, kid. Seeing is believing. Your eyes are even sharper than I imagined!"

The six-pointed star flickered for a moment before gradually dimming. Netero chuckled, looking up at Sean, a young man with striking features, wrapped in an ice dragon, exuding an imposing aura. He couldn't help but feel a momentary daze, as if he were seeing his younger self, equally dashing and spirited. How wonderful!

"Grandpa, this is nothing compared to what you've seen. You've probably never witnessed true eye techniques."

With a flick of his wrist, Sean retrieved the Kusanagi sword from his Sage's Space. He gripped it with one hand and executed a beautiful sword flourish. The flashing light from the Kusanagi sword shone on the faces of all the examinees!

All the candidates, including Hanzo, Babu, Pence, Qingli, Todo, and Greta, seemed to have rehearsed beforehand. They couldn't help but swallow hard, their eyes fixed on Sean, and they strangely felt a sense of pride in being a part of it!

My heart was pounding with the movement of the Kusanagi sword!

"Damn it, he really is insane! But why is this madness making me tremble with excitement?!"

Good heavens, who the hell has ever seen a rookie who hasn't even gotten his hunter's license yet dare to challenge the world's number one to a duel?

However, they've met this person before, and they were even in the same class! All I can say is, the teacher in this case is absolutely incredible, holy crap!

"Tch, you guys are exaggerating a bit too much." In contrast to the crowd's excitement, the white-haired brat whistled, surprisingly calm, and said nonchalantly, "Fighting the number one person in the world, look how much of a fuss you've made."

“My brother chases me and beats me up every day, have I said anything?”

"You're just blatantly showing off." Gon nudged Killua: "Hey~ if you're so good, why don't you go and do it yourself?"

Killua: "."

He glared fiercely at Xiao Jie: "You annoying brat, you're just like my brother's little tagalong!"

"You're the annoying one!"

"Shh~ Shut up!" Leorio and Kurapika each grabbed Gon and Killua, glaring at them irritably. Didn't they see all those unfriendly stares coming their way, you two idiots? You're interrupting the show!

"Hmph~ You should be grateful to have witnessed the battle between the Chairman and Sean Zoldyck, instead of making a racket here!"

Martial artist Qingli glanced coldly in this direction, then quickly shifted his gaze to Netero and Sean. He figured that these two kids weren't strong enough to witness the excitement of the upcoming battle!

"Oh ho ho ho~" Out of the crowd's notice, Hisoka, Illumi, Menchi, Buhara, and Sasuke used "Gathering" to cover their eyes with a layer of "qi," enhancing their dynamic vision and perception so as not to miss any of the following details.

"Buzz~" An invisible wave collided with Netero and Sean at the center.

Kurapika recalled his conversation with Sean by the stream, a deep red glint appearing in his eyes. He immediately understood—

The teacher's unique "playfulness" in this case has begun!

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind swept through the forest, blowing down a leaf that drifted into Netero and Sean's sight. Suddenly—

But as if they had been frozen in place, they defied the laws of physics and were trapped in the air right in front of them!

Upon seeing this, the candidates gasped in surprise, completely baffled and unable to understand what was going on.

He glanced around and saw the three examiners and a few candidates, such as Hisoka and Illumi. Their eyes narrowed and they quietly clenched their fists!

This is "【Heart Drop Fist Listening】!"

"You little brat, you start acting all high and mighty as soon as I'm not around, trying to bully my grandson, huh?"

In the president's office, Maha was munching on a chilled watermelon, spitting out the seeds with a "tut tut tut" sound. He glared at the bean-faced man and cursed, "Look at your president, what a jerk! He's so serious right from the start, picking on a kid. Is he a jerk?"

If I remember correctly, weren't you always certain that the president would get beaten up?

So, the little ghost, the bean-faced man, subtly pursed his lips and said with a fawning smile, "Don't be angry. Although the chairman was a bit serious, you also said that the teacher in this case is not bad either, right?"

"Hmm~ that's quite true," Maha snorted. "Your skills aren't that great, but following that kid Netero for years has broadened your horizons quite a bit."

"I can tell my grandson has caught up with Netero and entered the same [Heart Drop Fist Listening] state. I'm very happy, so I'll treat you to a piece of melon."

Maha handed his half-eaten watermelon to Bean Man.

Bean-faced Man: "."

Still angry, I turned and glanced at the TV—

President, you can do it! He bullied me, you better give his grandson a good beating!

Netero seemed to be deaf to the Bean Man's words, and had no time to listen to them.

He stood there with his hands behind his back, looking at Sean across the leaf, seemingly entering a wonderful state of "forgetting oneself and the world."

They were completely bewildered when they came up.

"Hey? Why aren't the uncle and that grandpa moving?"

Gon tugged at Kurapika's sleeve and quietly asked. Of the "four" he considered, besides Shawn who was fighting, Kurapika was undoubtedly the second strategist of the group. At least in Gon's opinion, he was obviously much stronger than that good-for-nothing Leorio.

"I don't know either." Kurapika frowned, and when no one noticed, his eyes were already turning deep red.

However, the only surviving boy of the Kurta tribe has not yet opened his pores. Even if he fully opens his red eyes, he is still no match for Buhara, Menchi, Satsu, Hisoka, and Illumi, who have used "Condensation".

"It's not that they're not moving, it's just that you can't see them." Saci's leisurely voice came, kindly explaining to all the doubtful candidates present, "The two of them have now entered a wonderful state called—[Heart Drop Fist Listening]!"

"Legend has it that before a person dies, they will experience a magical revolving lantern, in which they will review their entire life in a very short time."

"Under this state of mind, time and space are shielded and become completely meaningless concepts."

"Only the spirit and will, or rather the soul, remain within it; this is what is called 'Heart Drop Fist Listening'!"

"It is also a rare phenomenon in a duel between masters."

Saci explained the [Heart Drop Fist Listening] technique to all the examinees, but due to his limited abilities, he was unaware that—

The true "Heart Drop Boxing" is more than that.

Besides a brief momentary distortion and stillness in time and space, under the blessing of the [Heart Drop Fist Listening] state, both the caster and the caster can even become abnormally powerful—

To glimpse the other person's inner thoughts!

Because "heart droplet" equals "time perception" and "fist listening" equals "opponent's thoughts," this is the true meaning of "heart droplet fist listening."

In the original story, when Zeno, riding a giant dragon and carrying Netero, descended upon the Ant King's palace in the form of a swarm of dragon stars,

Neferpitou, the cat-girl responsible for guarding the palace, leaped up, intending to stop him. At that moment, she entered a state of [Heartfelt Listening], hearing Netero's thoughts:

"I anticipated several attack and defense strategies, but I never expected you to pull this nasty trick, little ant~"

Less than 0.001 seconds later, Neferpitou hurriedly broke free from the state of [Heart Drop Fist Listening], only to realize that he had "found" the wrong person!

The opponent's thoughts were terrifyingly still, like a vast ocean; when they moved, they were like a tsunami, ready to engulf her at any moment.

At this moment, Sean, who had voluntarily followed Netero into the realm of [Heart Drop Fist Listening], felt it even more clearly than when they first met ten years ago. He didn't act as pathetic as Catwoman; on the contrary, Netero's old face twitched, and his eyes almost popped out of their sockets in shock!
