"The world is constantly changing, and life itself is also subject to various changes. Just because you can't do something doesn't mean that others can't... People are different, and change is what makes things interesting!"

The old man on the phone laughed.

Aren't you curious?

Bisky stared wide-eyed: "Don't you want to come and see for yourself if he can get into the association..."

"If such a person can't get on the right path, the consequences are unimaginable... Moreover, it would be a terrible loss... I'm only reminding you out of good intentions!"

The girl stood with her hands on her hips, pouting in dissatisfaction.

"If he doesn't want to join, you can't force him..."

"..."

"Learning Nen is the key to becoming a Hunter... It's the core. Ordinary people rarely come into contact with Nen. Generally, they need an opportunity to meet another Hunter and pass on their Nen. Passing on the knowledge is also a Hunter's duty... So, where did he learn Nen, and from whom?"

Biskey Road.

"Well..."

The old man didn't answer immediately; instead, he seemed to smack his lips.

Drinking tea?

Blue veins appeared on Bisky's forehead.

Was anyone even listening to her?!

"The little guy's background is very clean..."

Netero seemed to know what Bisky's expression was like on the other end of the line. Every time, he would catch her just before she was about to explode, and then slowly and cheerfully reply. After saying that, he changed the subject, "By the way, how's your little apprentice doing?"

"Very good, thank you for your concern!"

Bisky couldn't hold back any longer. After saying that, she hung up the phone immediately.

My nostrils were flaring up, it felt like I was about to kill someone.

Yun Gu, standing to the side, swallowed hard, not daring to utter a sound.

"Tch! What a joke... You're clearly interested, but you insist on pretending to be indifferent... Since you're not showing yourself, I'm not going to care anymore!" After fuming for a while, Bisji calmed down and told Yun Gu not to be negligent, and to continue cultivating properly in the room.

Then she skipped and hopped out of the room.

"Girls should be beautiful...why worry about something like this..."

"I heard that an auction house is exhibiting a lot of expensive gemstones... It's really tempting, I can't miss this opportunity, and it would be even better if I could buy them!"

Before leaving, Bisky seemed somewhat excited.

It must be said that the old woman's ability to adjust her mindset is truly exceptional.

25. Could it be that I remembered it wrong?

The next day, on the arena.

"sharp…"

The soldier, who looked even larger than Oboro, was being choked by a suit-clad thug with visible injuries.

Zhalong's throat bobbed as he managed to utter two words with difficulty.

With a forceful pull of his finger, a large gushing of blood spurted from his mouth.

Most of the Nen users in the audience who witnessed this scene were horrified and incredulous.

This stands in stark contrast to the ordinary people who turn red in the face, shout incessantly, and watch with their blood boiling.

Zhalong has been defeated.

If Oboro could defeat Ashmiru, they could try to accept it, but winning against Zhalon... was something they hadn't expected.

Since the mercenary Zaron reached the 200th floor, he has demonstrated formidable strength and skill, with no defeats and no points lost.

Zaron... is an Enhancement-type Nen user. In terms of pure offensiveness and lethality, he is far superior to Esmerald.

Most importantly, they also learned some information about Zhalon. This man was previously employed by an independent country with a rather chaotic national situation, following a royal family and constantly traveling on the battlefield. Such a person has been tempered by a lot of war, and his mental will and combat skills are far superior to those of ordinary fighters.

Because of different upbringing.

Compared to someone like Zaron, other Nen users are... more pure.

We're here to compete, nothing more.

Oboro's left hand had all five fingers twisted and broken, injured when he was punched by Zaron during their fist-and-palm exchange... At the same time, Oboro's body was covered in blood, and his appearance was gruesome. But in the end, it was he... who survived by scheming and 'surprise attack'.

Blood covered Oboro's entire face, but his eyes gleamed faintly with a smile as he gazed at Zhalong: "Although you can't speak, you can raise your hand to signal that you've lost to the referee."

Blood was still gushing from the corner of Zhalong's mouth.

Hearing his words, Zhalong remained unmoved... Even though he was about to die, his eyes were calm and composed.

A loss is a loss... As a soldier, he... will not surrender.

He went into every battle prepared to die!

"Thank you."

Long understood his expression and said softly.

Then, with another twist of his hand, Zhalong's neck snapped instantly, and he stopped breathing.

Oboro dared not let go, because as long as he released Zhalong, as long as he was not dead and could still move, the opponent would definitely counterattack... until the last second of the battle, and Oboro could not guarantee that he could still seize the opponent's mistakes and have such an opportunity to suppress him.

Taking the kill was also out of respect for them.

Respect for a soldier.

Zhalong was now a corpse, and Oboro felt a great sense of relief. A feeling of powerlessness made him collapse onto the stage, his chest heaving with heavy breathing... He was exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"The winner is Oboro!"

A moment later, the host announced the results.

This caused the noise level in the stadium to rise again, becoming deafening.

Looking at the spotlight above him and listening to the cheers of the crowd, Long felt a strange emptiness after the extreme pleasure. Subconsciously, he thought of the words that the circus ringmaster, Moritonio, had once said.

"Damn... Enjoying the fight is fine... but don't do it with Hisoka!"

"Like that, he became morbid..."

Noticing the change in her own heart, Long smiled gently.

He enjoys fighting... because he learns from the strong.

Just like playing a game, if you encounter a high-level player and have a solo match, even if you lose... you won't feel disappointed, and you'll naturally feel more accomplished if you win.

Rather than simply a fighting maniac.

Below the stage, Yun Gu looked at Bisky again, completely bewildered!

His perspective had broadened, and he could now discern some subtle tricks. He replayed the fight between Oboro and Zhalong in his mind... The match ended quickly, lasting less than ten minutes, but the two fought with brutal, visceral blows.

From his perspective, Oboro's physical attributes, including his temperament, which he was so proud of, were significantly inferior to Zaron's.

This can be seen from the fact that after being approached by Zaron, Zaron's body was injured in just a few simple punches and kicks. As an Enhancer, Zaron's attacks are more efficient than Esmerald's.

But Zaron lost... Both of them used their Nen abilities, the only difference being that Oboro's ability was not the same as the minions she summoned in the previous match.

Seeing her apprentice looking at her, Bisky was no longer as surprised as before... She had gotten used to Oboro's behavior.

"He won for two reasons, the first being... his brains."

Bisky spoke confidently: "The little rascal knew before the fight that he was no match for pure skill... so he couldn't afford to stall, because the longer the fight went on, the more dangerous it would be for him..."

"He anticipated that Zaron would launch a fierce attack on him from the start of the match... because he knew his current weaknesses and shortcomings... based on the previous match, his opponent was very likely to not give him any time to breathe or adapt... perhaps in the past few days, he had been simulating the process of their fight in his mind... he would imagine himself as Zaron and devise countermeasures accordingly. In the first few minutes, he almost completely exhausted his Nen energy for defense, which also shows that he is indeed growing..."

“He is very cunning…that’s why I don’t want you to fight him.”

Bisky recalled the scene when Oboro saw through her 'disguise as a young girl' as soon as they met.

This kid is no ordinary thief!

On the stage, Long had already managed to stand up and left, leaving bloody footprints with each step.

"Secondly, it's his ability."

"His abilities in the last match were impressive, but it's clear... that was just one effect of his abilities. He... has more to hide! Zaron was misled..."

"His ability is very complex... Relying solely on telekinesis, even with his full strength, he couldn't defend against a master of enhancement techniques with his current level... But he managed to hold on. When Zaron launched his full-scale attack, a golden shield appeared around him, which absorbed a lot of the damage. In addition, he himself received some kind of enhancement and blessing, and at a critical moment, he used his ability to put Zaron into a state of weakness for a moment... thereby taking the initiative."

"A battle is not just a contest of mental strength, physical strength, and skills, but also of the brain... The information gap between each other, what he showed is exactly what I brought you to the Sky Arena to teach you... Keep an eye on him, you can learn a lot from him."

"

"There is no such thing as cheating in battles between Nen users; if you lose, it's simply because you're not skilled enough."

After giving her instructions, Bisky pinched her chin and fell into deep thought.

She was investigating... Oboro's Nen ability...

……

That night, covered in bandages, Long stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of her hotel room, gazing at the neon-lit nightscape.

If Ashmiru's control over the rhythm of battle taught him a lesson, then...

That Zhalong simply had the upper hand in terms of physical strength and magnanimity.

This was also the first time since he arrived at the Sky Arena that he had encountered a peer who was better than him in these two aspects, of course, Bisky, that old woman, did not count.

During the day, the ability he drew was a rune skill. No matter which type he drew, he had a plan to deal with Zaron. Rune skills... allowed him, as a player, to set up talents and summoner spells in advance.

His talent tree is the green tree's Resolve tree, which includes Undying Grip and Bone Plating, used to enhance his defense and tankiness... His Summoner Spells are Barrier and Exhaust.

As for Zaron, his abilities are unknown.

This is also his advantage.

"This world is so interesting... Putting aside the characters and plot, there are amazing people everywhere."

Long smiled slightly, looking at his left hand wrapped in bandages. "However, in this way, I'm afraid we won't be able to fight again for a while... The cowardly guys won't even think about fighting me anymore."

"A mandatory competition within ninety days is too slow... Even if it reaches ninety days, some people would probably just admit defeat or give up if they faced me."
