I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

说来拗口，但也就是在景旸几个呼吸的功夫后，他分配了10点死气的结果就是：强化系60.6→69.2%；放出系80.4%→82.2%；变化系61%→62.6%。

By the way, thanks to the improvement of the change system, the materialization system on the other side also increased slightly from 80.8% to 81%.

Jingyang thought to himself: If I add points to one system, the others will follow suit, which saves me a lot of trouble.

With my current potential expanded to a full 81% in the Conjuration type, if I were to seriously train, the difficulty would be similar to when I first trained in the Emission type, meaning there would be virtually no difficulty.

However, clearing away the unnecessary difficulties in training doesn't mean Jingyang will start practicing. Firstly, his energy is limited, and secondly, there aren't really any good directions for developing materialization-type Nen abilities at the moment, so he's putting it on hold for now.

As for the remaining 1 point of death energy... Jing Yang looked at the last wisp of gray aura surrounding the gray figure sitting motionless with his sword across his back in the newly refreshed hexagonal shape, and decided to save this last point to slowly digest and use to increase his total mental energy.

Tsk tsk.

Look at this hexagonal diagram my buddy has now. Even the worst corner has 62.6%, it looks so pleasing to the eye.

The total number of recitations also fluctuated slightly around 25211.

There's still a bit of death energy waiting to be "refined." This bit of death energy can be refined into at least several hundred units, and with good luck, it's not impossible to refine it into a thousand units.

What a vibrant scene!

With a thought, Jing Yang projected his consciousness onto the body of the Can Yuehu on another continent, or rather, on another island across the ocean.

He stretched Wu Er's legs and feet, and was quite satisfied with its weight loss results.

"Jing Wu Er" ran through the woods of Ghost Island and lingered not far from the Elf Amusement Park, secretly observing the few tourists present that day... He did the same thing that day, possessing Wu Er's body, and saw the blonde little girl dealing with fake jewelry vendors near the amusement park, who is none other than our respectable and lovely Aunt Bisky.

How could we let such a good teacher slip through our fingers? Of course not!

However, "Jingwu Er" secretly wanted to get closer, thinking that at least they could become friends after a fight. First of all, this island is Ghost Island, and there is a protected area for the Moon Tiger on the island. No matter what, Auntie would not directly "ruthlessly destroy the tiger." Secondly, isn't it said that hunters are loved by animals? So, it is only reasonable for him, an "animal," to go and get close to Auntie, who is a top hunter, isn't it?

But the result that day was that when "Jingwu II" stepped a certain distance behind Bisky, Bisky's figure disappeared directly.

In Jingwu II's eyes, there was only a fleeting afterimage before the blonde "little girl" who had just been smiling and reasoning with the cunning merchant vanished on the spot.

...Bisky had already discovered me! "Jingwu II" was slow to realize it.

Chapter 205 Be a little stupid

Limited by Wu Er's body, Jing Yang's observational skills were weakened, and he couldn't tell exactly when Bisky noticed the anomaly, or when she was secretly observing him as he approached from the shadows...

Really!

What bad intentions could a little white kitten possibly have? Auntie, did you really have to run away on the spot?

Jingyang secretly grumbled to himself.

Since then, Bisky has never been seen anywhere on Ghost Island again.

No, did they just run away?

Jingyang had no choice but to continue giving Wu Er instructions to keep a close eye on things, waiting for the possibility that Bisji might reappear.

However, after getting ashore today, he took a moment to bend down and glance over, and sure enough, he found nothing.

After confirming at a self-service machine on the outskirts of the seaside town that he could no longer register for the hunter test, Jing Yang sighed to the heavens. It seemed that the opportunity to play dumb and bully the weak would have to wait until next year.

Putting the Hunter test on hold for the time being, Jingyang and his group went to a small town to find a restaurant for a treat. They were really bored after being at sea for so many days. Even the usually aloof Kate and the reserved Kurapika were not shy at all. The speed at which the Nen users devoured table after table of food left the young boy and girl who were leading the way speechless.

The restaurants in the seaside town naturally feature seafood as their specialty. However, Jingyang and his two companions felt nauseous at the sight of seafood and ordered several tables' worth of both land-based and aerial seafood, almost emptying the restaurant's entire stock for the day.

Except for Xiao Di. She's been adrift at sea for so long, yet she can still calmly eat fish and shrimp. Jing Yang has known her for so long, and he's never seen her have a poor appetite. Whenever she needs to eat, and there's food she can eat, she'll calmly finish it all, leaving not a single bite…

Jingyang, biting on a straw, was lost in thought.

The boy and girl who led them there observed the four of them with great curiosity. The boy, in particular, still couldn't understand why, despite having several broken ribs and arms, he was now completely unharmed, moving freely as if nothing had happened. If it weren't for the vivid memory of the broken bones, he would have thought it was a hallucination… And who were these people, and why had they emerged from the sea? Had they encountered a shipwreck? If so, they didn't seem to be seeking help at all. Why had that sea monster left so quietly, like a released pet? This older brother, lost in thought, seemed confident about participating in the hunter test; he must possess extraordinary abilities! The strange things he'd encountered today had piqued the interest of a boy aspiring to become a hunter. He felt a surge of excitement, as if he had inadvertently stumbled upon a corner of a magical world—perhaps the world of hunters.

"You want to become a hunter?" The older brother, who had been lost in thought, finally noticed his gaze.

"Mmm-hmm!" The boy nodded frantically. The purple-haired girl next to him curled her lip in disgust.

Kurapika, who had already put down his chopsticks, glanced at it.

He knew, of course, that with Jingyang's abilities, he could easily help the boy awaken Nen. Once he awakened Nen, with more practice, he could greatly increase his chances of passing the Hunter Exam—although Kurapika himself had never participated in a real Hunter Exam, he figured it shouldn't be any more difficult than learning Nen.

This young man is just like myself from last year.

But Jing Yang treated him completely differently. Unlike when he directly helped him open his mind, Jing Yang, faced with the boy's enthusiasm, simply encouraged him, saying, "That's great! But I suggest you wait until you're strong enough before participating."

"What kind of skill would be considered sufficient?" the boy pressed. "If I dared to use Death Eye, I should be qualified, right?"

"Hey!" the purple-haired girl said, annoyed.

As Xiaodi was prying out a crab claw the size of a human arm, she asked curiously, "What is the Grim Reaper's Eye?"

The purple-haired girl politely explained in a low voice, "It's a huge abyss on Siha Island, a very famous tourist attraction. Siha Island is in that direction, not far from here..." As she spoke, she pointed out the window of the hotel.

In response to the boy's question, Jing Yang patted his slightly full stomach and casually replied, "How would I know? Didn't you just see it? I wanted to sign up, but I missed it!"

The boy was somewhat disappointed. Kate suddenly said, "To become a hunter, you must possess basic combat skills."

So everyone looked at him.

Kurapika knew that this Kate was a true professional hunter who had passed the test.

Jingyang also knew that Kate's words were a paraphrase of the second commandment of the Hunters, "Every hunter must possess basic fighting ability." The so-called basic fighting ability actually refers to the ability of telekinesis.

Kate pulled out another hat from somewhere and put it on. "I can't reveal the format and content of the hunter test, nor can I disclose it. But at the very least, you need to have the stamina to run... well, 200 kilometers."

"And, it's always good to have a broad knowledge base." He stood up, looking at Jingyang and the other two as he said the last part.

Jingyang laughed and said, "Why? We just didn't get to register. If we had, Netero might have called and approved us directly!"

Anyway, bragging doesn't cost money.

Kate smiled, a rare occurrence, and adjusted her hat brim. "Anyway, farewell. Perhaps we'll meet again someday."

Jingyang knew that Kate had already accepted his main quest and was now in a hurry to find his unreliable master.

“Speaking of which…” He remembered a small question and got up from the table, “I’ll see you off.”

Jing Yang escorted Kate to the hotel entrance before asking, "As far as I know, the Hunter Association will arrange for a professional hunter to provide one-on-one tutoring for newly recruited hunters who pass the Hunter Test, helping them learn and master the basics of Nen ability."

Kate said, "It seems so."

"So, Jin is your new mentor?"

Kate nodded.

Jingyang then asked curiously, "But your Nen is so strong, you don't seem like a 'newbie' who hasn't passed the instructor's test yet."

Kate looked at him and said, "Your Nen isn't weak either. But you haven't even taken the Hunter Exam yet."

Jingyang smiled.

Kate looked into the distance and said, "It's because of Kim that I want to become a hunter."

“Before I took the Hunter Exam, I had already learned a lot of skills under Jin’s guidance,” he continued. “If it weren’t for him, I would have starved to death in the slums long ago.”

These words were touching, but Jing Yang still spoiled the mood by asking, "In that case, the Hunter Association shouldn't go through the trouble of arranging another mentor for you." He held up one finger. "Even if the other examiners of the Hunter Exam might misjudge you, I don't think that old man Netero would fail to see that you are already a Nen user. And quite strong at that."

For example, Hisoka, Illumi, and Shalnark, who is also a professional hunter in the manga, did not receive any mentors from the Hunter Association. Who knows who is mentoring whom?

“I don’t know about that,” Kate said. “After I passed the hunter test, King reappeared as my mentor on my path to becoming a professional hunter. Apparently, it was arranged by Chairman Netero.”

For example, Menchi's mentor is Gintoki. In the manga, Gon and Killua's mentor is Yung-ku... while Kite's mentor is King. Did King take the initiative, or was Netero sabotaging him?

Jing Yang pondered to himself. Leaving aside Jin, that unreliable guy who always came up with something out of thin air; Netero, in Bisky's assessment, was "the wicked Netero." The old man couldn't possibly be unaware of Kate's abilities, and perhaps even knew about the relationship between Jin and Kate. But at the same time, this wicked old man probably also knew Jin's unreliable personality well, and might be deliberately sending Jin to be Kate's novice teacher out of mischief, to see what funny things Jin could come up with when he had nothing left to teach…

So now we know that Jin's job was called "Where Did the Master Go?"

The most striking thing is the lack of creativity. Three years later, actually several years ago, Ging had already left a similar task for his own son, Gon, on his hometown, Whale Island. It lay quietly in a small box, waiting for Gon to reach a certain age and develop the idea of ​​becoming a Hunter, at which point a similar main quest would be triggered—a quest called "Where Did Dad Go?"...

Speaking of which, after Kate leaves today, his first stop in his search for Kim might be Kim's hometown, Whale Island.

That's how he met Gon, who was in danger in the mountains, thus triggering the bond between him and Gon, the bond between Shanks and Luffy. Unlike Shanks, he didn't risk an arm, but just like Shanks leaving Roger's straw hat, he left Ging's Hunter License to Gon...

In other words, three years from now will mark the beginning of the so-called Hunter x Hunter canon!

After saying goodbye to Kate, Jingyang returned to the hotel in deep thought. He glanced at the nervous and dejected boy and suddenly asked, "Is the Death Eye you mentioned very famous?"

“Of course!” the boy said. “It’s…it’s…anyway, it’s a super powerful abyssal vortex! Every year, countless people from all over the world come here…”

Jingyang asked, "How powerful is it? Is it as powerful as the World Tree?"

Little Drop asked curiously, "What is the World Tree?"

"The world's tallest tree," Jingyang said. "It is said that every year, every day, countless challengers try to climb to the top of the tree."

The boy said, "I've never seen the World Tree, so I don't know. But I will definitely challenge the Eye of Death! Because I want to become a hunter!"

The purple-haired girl complained, "You should just give up on that idea. Have you forgotten how many people have died from jumping off? I think running 200 kilometers is a more realistic goal." Although both goals are terrifying, at least running 200 kilometers won't result in jumping off and dying, right?

Jing Yang asked, "How deep exactly is this abyss vortex called the Eye of Death? There should be official statistics, right?"

"209 meters," the boy answered instantly.

Jing Yang looked at the boy's small frame, especially his aura. Of course, ordinary people also have aura, and since ordinary people cannot control this aura on their own, in Jing Yang's opinion, the state of an ordinary person's aura can better reflect their true physical condition—the strength of the boy in front of him was quite ordinary, not even half of Kurapika's before he activated Nen.

"Are you going to challenge the Eye of Death?" As they left the restaurant, the boy asked with anticipation and excitement.

“I don’t want the challenge,” Jingyang said, “but I want to go and see. There seem to be so many natural wonders and challenging hidden places in this world. If I have the chance, I really want to see them all…”

People who like to court death are everywhere; there are many cases of people falling to their deaths just from trying to climb the World Tree.

I certainly wouldn't kill someone on purpose to plunder death energy, but that doesn't stop me from liking to go to places where there are likely to be casualties in order to have a better chance of obtaining death energy, right?

Oaths and constraints are a double-edged sword; you gain some and lose others.

The price of gaining great power is tying one's own hands and feet.

Jingyang did tie his own hands in order to gain the ability to "reach the highest heavens and the deepest hells," but he wasn't completely bound by it.

It restrained the part that "actively kills and harvests death energy, indulging in inner greed," but it did not restrain the part that "since people are going to die anyway, I might as well take advantage of it instead of wasting it on nature."

Watching the boy leave, comforted by the purple-haired girl, Kurapika then said, "I thought you would give him Nen."

Jingyang gave him a strange look. "Are you drunk? My skill is so precious, I have to charge a fee. If I offer it to you, aren't you selling yourself to me?"

Kurapika's eyes went dead instantly. How could this guy say such awful things?

Xiao Di said, "It's not necessarily a good thing for ordinary people to have the ability to think."

Jingyang and Kurapika both looked at her.
