Hunter: I became stronger even after I died.

Chapter 318 The So-Called Gap
The power of Nen, even without developing one's own unique Nen ability...

The increase in manifest energy alone can instantly grant an ordinary person with poor physical constitution strength and speed far exceeding that of an average person.

This kind of intuitive change often brings about both overt and subtle forms of self-confidence.

Gon and Killua now possess this subtle confidence.

However, their nascent confidence vanished instantly when faced with the bizarre and incongruous "God" drum that Moro casually tossed over.

Even if you've mastered the decisive power of "thought"...

Compared to true powerhouses, they are still far, far behind.

This is a true reflection of Gon and Killua's state of mind at this moment.

They were amazed by Morrow's unfathomable abilities in the world of Nen, and at the same time, a passion to catch up with him was ignited in their hearts.

then,

Gon and Killua, who were moving closer to the God-shaped drum, were blasted away for the third time.

This time they really learned their lesson and would use "Condensation" to keep an eye on those thought clusters that suddenly disappeared in the midst of a tight offensive, thus avoiding the attack in time.

However, because too much energy is concentrated in the eyes, the energy displayed in other parts of the body becomes unbalanced in terms of attack and defense.

This change, while not significant, is not insignificant either, but it reduces the success rate of evading conventional attacks.

At this moment, the rhythm of the attack was also changed by the "God" drum.

It seemed to make adjustments in real time based on Gon and Killua's reactions.

Instead of deliberately using "stealth" to interfere with Killua and Gon's judgment, it suddenly increased its speed and coverage.

So when the two of them fell to the ground, they both reflexively looked in the direction of Morrow.

What came into view was Moro, who was immersed in the world of the word "god" and seemed completely unaware of everything in the outside world.

Seeing this, Killua and Gon were filled with confusion, and they couldn't understand how Moro had arranged the attack.

Because at this moment, a doubt has already arisen in their hearts.

The strange thing in front of them, capable of spewing out so many clusters of thought, seemed to be able to see right through their minds.

If it weren't for real-time regulation, it would be far too terrifying.

"Damn it, come again!"

Killua refused to believe it and got up again, rushing towards the God-shaped drum.

This time, it took less than two seconds to be blasted away by one of the mental clusters.

But he finally discovered a pattern in this dazzling offensive.

"It is indeed an 'automated' attack, so as long as you can figure out the combo sequence and the timing of using 'stealth'..."

As Killua finished reciting this, he had just gotten up from the ground when he saw Gon follow in his footsteps and be blasted away by a ball of Nen.

The Nian group's attacks seemed to be very well controlled, and they didn't cause any damage when they hit them.

Unless they are dodging an attack and the part of them that is hit has no Nen protection.

Xiao Jie rose unharmed from the ground, and with a sense of challenge, once again faced the numerous psychic attacks that crisscrossed and converged.

The result was, unsurprisingly, as expected.

In just a few seconds, he was thwarted again by the insidious "Hidden".

Seeing this, Killua realized that Gon hadn't yet noticed the pattern and was only relying on his reflexes and agility to avoid the attacks.

"You have to try many times to get familiar with that pattern."

Killua glanced at Morrow, who was still engrossed in his book, and thought to himself, "I can do it!"

In the blink of an eye, Killua charged toward the God-shaped drum again, but this time his focus shifted to "observation".

He had already figured out Moro's intentions.

The so-called "condensation" is not like a robot that can only gather energy in its eyes in an unchanging way.

If you want to use this technique freely in actual combat, the most important thing is "observation" and the control of "timing".

It's like holding a switch...

The switch will only be pressed when needed.

Therefore, learning to solidify is simple, but the key is how to apply it properly.

Killua's eyes became incredibly serious, and his agile figure moved freely among the many Nen spheres.

He held on for about ten seconds before being blasted away by a blast of mental energy.

At that moment, Xiao Jie passed by him and faced the seemingly tireless attack of the Nen ball.

A few seconds later.

Just heard a muffled sound.

Xiao Jie was sent flying again, letting out a slightly annoyed and unwilling sound.

Killua glanced quickly at Gon, who still hadn't broken the 5-second barrier, chuckled to himself, and then charged toward the God-shaped drum again with a serious expression.

There was no communication between the two.

However, they made the decision to stagger their special training sessions based on their tacit understanding.

Only in this way can we more clearly assess each other's special training progress.

It can also be used to compare wins and losses, to see who is more skilled.

Killua dodged and weaved through the Nen attacks, and with the growing familiarity he had developed, he finally broke through the 20-second barrier.

rear.

Gon stared blankly at the figure dancing amidst the chaotic Nen, and exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "Killua is amazing!"

In contrast, he can't even last 5 seconds.

However, he was not discouraged at all, and his whole body was full of the drive to improve.

At the 23-second mark, Killua was hit and sent flying backward, but his face already showed a determined expression.

He's confident he can last even longer if he tries again!
As Killua landed, Gon was already dodging the Nen attacks.

This time, he finally broke through the 5-second barrier and was hit on the seventh second.

"Xiao Jie, watch closely, I'm sure I can last more than a minute this time!"

With a face full of confidence, Killua once again charged into the dazzling Nen attack.

After so many attempts, he had basically become familiar with the attack patterns of the Divine Drum Strike.

Swish swish--!
Despite the attacks coming from all directions, Killua's dodging movements revealed a sense of ease and composure.

10 seconds, 20 seconds...

One minute quickly arrived.

Killua never fell for their attacks, always managing to dodge some of the Nen group's insidious attacks at the last second.

Seeing Killua so relaxed and carefree, Gon's eyes lit up, and he secretly wondered how he could be like Killua.

While he was indeed slower than Killua, the special training had continued until now, and he had gradually come to realize Morrow's intentions.

When faced with a possible "hidden" attack from the enemy, one must not be led by the nose, but must have accurate judgment and carefully choose the timing to use "condensation".

Otherwise, if the enemy makes a feint, you might make the wrong response.

"Why do you have to avoid it..."

"As long as I gather more Nen in my defensive position before the attack comes, I can directly defend against it."

"That way, we won't be in a panic."

Xiao Jie came up with a solution.

the other side.

Killua adapted to the rhythm of the God-style drum attack and was in his element.

"As expected, it's not difficult at all."

I initially thought it would take a lot of time, but after finding the trick, I discovered that the attack pattern of the Divine Drum was not as complicated as I had imagined.

Thinking of this, Killua said smugly, "Is there a more difficult 'mode'?" After saying that, he even had the energy to look at Moro.

Moro was still studying the book of divine characters, ignoring Killua's gaze, but he did spare a portion of his attention to use his thoughts to influence the rhythm of the divine character drum attack from a distance.

This conscious adjustment directly impacted the intensity of the Nen group's attack, and also caused Killua's smug expression to freeze instantly.

He couldn't keep up with the change in rhythm, and his head was suddenly hit by several mental attacks.

"hiss!"

This attack from the Nen group was actually stronger than his defense.

Before he could react, Killua was hit in the abdomen by a rising dragon punch that came close to the ground, and he was sent flying backward.

At that moment, Morro finally put down the book of gods and looked at Killua, who had fallen to the ground in a disheveled state, with a half-smile.

"Are you satisfied with the difficulty level?"

"Damn it, you definitely did it on purpose!"

Killua got up from the ground, with several bumps already appearing on his head.

Moro asked in confusion, "What, didn't you ask for this yourself?"

"!!!"

Killua thought to himself that he had only asked a question, and gritted his teeth, about to say something like, "At least give me some mental preparation."

But Morrow seemed to have guessed his thoughts and suddenly said, "Don't say anything silly like that you need to be notified in advance. Do you expect your future enemies to give you a heads-up before they attack?"

"..."

Killua choked, swallowing his words back.

While Killua and Moro were bickering, Gon had already quietly begun a new round of attempts.

Having experienced his previous failures, he had come to understand the true purpose of Morrow's special training.

Those seemingly tricky and hidden attacks were not designed for him to dodge perfectly.

With that thought in mind, Xiao Jie adjusted his breathing and stopped trying to dodge the attacks that would only make him flustered.

With his natural reflexes and intuition, when faced with an unavoidable attack from a group of Nen, he would promptly use the "Condensation" technique at the point of impact.

Bang!
A ball of energy that came from the side slammed into Xiao Jie's waist and abdomen.

But Xiao Jie had already gathered more Nen in his waist and abdomen, thus managing to defend himself steadily.

His body remained as steady as a mountain, which would not affect his next move.

As the elongated ball of Nen, resembling glutinous rice, retracted according to the mechanism, Xiao Jie also withdrew the excessive Nen energy gathered in his waist and abdomen, and instead focused his mind.

Instantly, the Nen energy in his eyes ignited like a torch, and he saw the Nen clusters that had been "hidden" and eliminated from his sight, attacking simultaneously from both sides.

Without any hesitation, Xiao Jie leaped into the air, avoiding the two wisps of energy.

Bang!
Another muffled sound.

The two clusters of thought actually collided.

At this moment, both Morrow and Killua looked at Gon, who was suspended in mid-air.

"Idiot, jumping into the air makes you a sitting duck. The best thing to do was to step back a body length!"

Killua's gaze followed Gon's movements.

Xiao Jie remained calm under pressure, consciously controlling his jump height so that he landed precisely on top of the colliding Nen balls.

at the same time.

More groups of psychic energy are attacking from other angles.

Xiao Jie first sidestepped to avoid the first attack of the Nen ball, then raised his arm horizontally to gather more Nen energy on it.

The second attacking psychic ball struck Xiao Jie's arm with a muffled thud.

However, thanks to his adequate defensive capabilities, Xiao Jie managed to withstand the attacks without moving an inch, maintaining a good rhythm of offense and defense.

With each solid defense, Xiao Jie was finally able to completely stop the relentless onslaught of the "God's Continuous Drum" technique, and a bright smile unconsciously spread across his face.

"So funny!"

He genuinely enjoys this special training method, which not only allows him to quickly find ways to break through his limitations, but also makes him feel novelty and joy in every challenge.

Killua was increasingly surprised by Gon's sudden and tremendous progress.

"Isn't the special training supposed to be about dodging attacks?"

A surge of emotion welled up within him, and he turned his head to look at Moro.

Upon hearing this, Moro met Killua's gaze and asked in return, "Why did you dodge the attack?"

"..."

Killua was speechless for a moment.

Morrow looked at him calmly and said, "Do you think Jack's way is better, or yours?"

"..."

Killua remained silent, then looked somewhat unwillingly at Gon, who was skillfully dealing with the Nen attacks, and muttered, "Gon's method is better because it has a higher margin for error."

"You're very smart, Killua."

Moro nodded approvingly.

Killua unconsciously loosened his clenched fist and said with a sneer, "Do you even need to tell me that?"

Moro smiled and looked back at Gon, marveling once again at the terrifying talent of Gon and Killua.

Then he thought of Cheridone, the fourth prince of Kakin, who was even more talented than the two of them.

If you want to oppose Celidonish, it's best to do so before he comes into contact with "Nen".

Killua looked at Moro's profile and asked curiously, "Teacher, is this your 'power'?"

"Why are you suddenly willing to call me teacher?"

Instead of answering the question, Moro asked a question with a smile.

Before he began teaching Killua and Gon their abilities, he made it clear that he was teaching them as a teacher, not a master.

From that time on, Gon always called him "teacher" naturally, while Killua, like Kalmod, had a somewhat arrogant personality and never called him that.

Now that Morrow had pointed it out on the spot, Killua's face flushed slightly, and he retorted, "I've been shouting all along, you just didn't hear it."

"Yeah."

Moro smiled, but didn't expose him, and answered the question from before:

"That thing is called a 'linked drum.' It's a little toy I made on the spot, and it barely counts as a small part of my abilities. But it's actually more effective than I expected as a special training tool."

"what?"

Killua said incredulously, "Just a little toy I made on a whim...?"

The swollen bumps on his head were enough to show that this thing called Lian Gu was more than just what we saw at the moment.

I initially thought it was one of Moro's abilities, but it turned out to be just a little toy.

This made Killua acutely aware of the so-called gap once again.

Time flies by like a white horse.

Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.

Under the rigorous training of the God-Drum Technique, Gon and Killua's growth rate is nothing short of terrifying.

What ordinary Nen users would need years to reach, they accomplished in just two months.

Looking at their peers, their progress is something that other newcomers can only dream of.

But Gon and Killua knew very well what was going on.

Their success is largely due to their teacher, Morrow.

Putting everything else aside, they could completely feel the dedication that Moro put into teaching Nen.
