“This isn’t the way to my house…” Chilu said quickly.
"Let's go to the hospital first." Jing Yang put his mask back on.
Xiao Di, who was also wearing a mask, clearly understood that Jing Yang definitely wanted to revisit the patient who had undergone the "exorcism" to confirm whether he had successfully exorcised the thought.
The answer is yes, it was successful, except for the reading.
When they arrived at the ward at night, the patient who had been lying in bed at noon, parasitized by the skeletal remnants and seemingly on the verge of death, was now rosy-cheeked and full of energy, surrounded by his family—and not a trace of the skeletal remnants had re-emerged on him.
"Without realizing it, I've gained another unique skill: exorcising thoughts." Jing Yang quietly left the ward, sighing to himself on the way, "Sigh, I know just too many things!"
More and more people gathered in the hospital corridor to watch the "masked doctor duo," but Jingyang and Xiaodi were already used to it and continued walking as if nothing was happening. But suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he saw a tall figure emerge from the crowd... no, from the other side of the corridor, slowly walking towards them.
With her red, messy hair combed back and her face adorned with five-pointed stars and tears, she wore a clown costume that made her look like she had just come off a circus performance, complete with comical pointed shoes. One hand was pressed against her lower back, while the other held a nurse's cap that she had somehow managed to pull out. She walked towards him as if she were a cross-dresser, then casually glanced at the masked man who was looking at her.
"Boom!!"
A sudden explosion and loud bang came from a hospital room at the corner of the corridor behind the red-haired clown.
The crowd fell silent for a moment, then scattered like a flood. Amidst the dust and smoke, Hisoka licked his lips, smiled, and muttered to himself, "Not bad luck~"
70 points, or maybe higher?
He casually tossed the nurse's cap at the masked man who was about the same height as him.
Chapter 215 Tianke
In the instant the explosion occurred in the ward at the corner of the corridor, a deathly aura surged into Jingyang's heart.
The number on the chest of the little figure sitting in the death aura panel jumped from 0 to 1.
The line above shows Jingyang's total Nen at this moment: 30906. This number was originally only fluctuating slightly, but because Jingyang hadn't provoked anyone and had suddenly bumped into Hisoka in a rather inconspicuous hospital corridor, his fluctuating emotions became more intense. What was originally just a single-digit number was now jumping to the tens digit.
What's that pervert doing here? He's looking over here, and he's laughing! Damn, his laugh is really creepy. Why is he throwing his hat over here? What the hell? It's a nurse's hat! What was that pervert doing before? Ning really thinks he's a clown...
Jing Yang slightly shifted his body to avoid the nurse's cap that Hisoka threw at him.
Hisoka is a Transmutation-type Nen user; he can transform his aura into something resembling chewing gum.
His Nen ability, "Bungee Gum," allows him to spread his chewing gum scent everywhere, much like Spider-Man flicks his webs. It's important to note that Hisoka's chewing gum scent is extremely sticky and resilient.
Jingyang couldn't even recall anyone in the manga who had ever dealt with Hisoka and managed to break free from this sticky, pesky thing after being stuck to him. This showed just how troublesome it was.
Knowing Xisuo's Nen abilities, Jingyang naturally wouldn't want to be stuck with his persistent pests.
But it still got stuck.
In the instant he dodged the thrown nurse's cap, Hisoka, seemingly hiding his Nen in some blind spot of Jing Yang's vision, just like Spider-Man's web, slapped it onto Jing Yang's chest.
Little Drop looked curiously at the strange, slightly pink Nen that connected Jingyang's chest to the fingertips of Hisoka, who was holding up a few meters away.
The ability to transform air into this shape is undoubtedly a technique of the Transmutation type.
Moreover, since it adhered to Jing Yang's body, the nature of this pink aura must be suspicious.
Xiao Di cultivated alongside Jing Yang, and she also developed the habit of thinking about and analyzing everything she saw.
The moment Hisoka used this move, she saw through most of it with her "Gathering"—of course, Hisoka, that birdman, never cared about revealing his abilities; in fact, after sticking a finger to Jingyang's chest, he even kindly helped these three—oh, two. The young man next to him, Chilu, was terrified by the malice emanating from Hisoka's attack; his face was pale, and his legs were trembling. He then began explaining his gum-like Transmutation Nen ability, ending with a wicked smile, "Heh heh, gum is really hard to clean..."
Before he could finish speaking, the masked man extended a blade of energy and severed the spiderweb-like Nen thread of chewing gum stuck to his chest with a single strike... The long piece of chewing gum Nen connecting Hisoka's fingertips contracted back due to its elasticity, and the small section hanging on Jingyang's chest quickly dissipated without a trace after being separated from Hisoka's main body's Nen.
As a Transformation user who is far removed from the Emission type, Hisoka's Nen cannot be used effectively outside his body.
"Who are you, you clown? Do I even know you before you attack me?" Jing Yang pressed down on his mask, his Nen energy surging forth as he entered a state of perfect balance between offense and defense, known as "Firm." "How incredibly rude!"
Before he finished speaking, he flicked his finger, and a Nen ball the size of a head flew out, heading straight for Hisoka's face, which was painted with circus clown makeup.
Hisoka crouched down and nimbly dodged.
Even if this guy has a big five-pointed star drawn on his cheek, he can instantly imprint the star mark by simply touching it with his aura and directly control this pervert... But the face is a part of the face that Hisoka doesn't know anything about Jingyang's star mark, so it won't be easily hit by his opponent.
The initial attempt to kill failed! Jing Yang felt a little disappointed.
Hisoka glanced back. The Nen ball that the man had launched hit the wall of the chaotic hospital corridor, but it did not explode or even leave a dent. It seemed to contain little destructive power... Was it just a feint to bluff his way out?
As Hisoka looked back, seemingly revealing an opening to his opponent, another spider silk shot out from the tip of his upturned shoe... a chewing gum-like Nen thread that successfully stuck to the back of Shizuku's raised hand.
Xiao Di glanced curiously at the pink chewing gum-like Nen aura on the back of her hand. Without hesitation, she raised her hand and unleashed a chain of Nen aura, twisting the chewing gum Nen threads into several pieces. The pink chewing gum Nen aura contracted, disintegrated, drifted, and dissipated in the air...
"Looks like I'm actually not so lucky?" Hisoka had a look of ecstatic pleasure on his face. He pulled out a playing card from somewhere, posed with his hands on his hips, and glanced at the Nen chains that had emerged from Shizuku's hand and severed his flexible love. "It's rare to run into two masters, and they both happen to have Nen abilities that can counter mine. Hehehe, how about... we have a go?"
Are you sure?
Jing Yang tapped his fingers together, making a cracking sound with his knuckles. "One against three, so confident?"
He and Xiao Di unleashed their greatest strength in perfect harmony, their momentum rising steadily.
Hisoka's only skills that can cause harm are playing cards and hand-to-hand combat; he doesn't possess any strange or rule-based Nen abilities. On the other hand, Jingyang and Shizuku both have stars on their bodies, which is equivalent to having half a fountain of healing abilities. There's no way they could be afraid of this freak.
A battle was about to break out. Jingyang, wielding the Yin Nian Sword, and Xiao Di's aura grew stronger and stronger.
Hisoka seemed to be getting the upper hand, but then his expression became even more delighted, as if he was reveling in the unfavorable situation, as if he was about to go crazy at any moment. However, he managed to control himself and smiled gently with his eyes narrowed, "Never mind, I prefer one-on-one duels against strong opponents."
With a flick of his wrist, he sent the playing cards flying like darts toward the other side.
"Consider it a business card~"
*Thud!* The playing cards with the clown design were nailed to the wall. Hisoka had already turned and left.
Jingyang ignored the playing cards nailed to the wall, feeling utterly bewildered. Where did Hisoka even come from? Did he just happen to be passing by?
"This person is very strong," Xiaodi commented.
“Hmm.” Jingyang nodded. Although it was just a fleeting glimpse, he could sense how enormous Hisoka’s monstrous aura was—while it could not be compared to the old monster Netero who displayed his divine power at the summit of Sensui Mountain, it was definitely much stronger than his current Nen power of just over 3.
Although Nen power is not the only, or even the most important, criterion for strength in battles between Nen users, a person with average Nen power is not necessarily weak, but a person with abundant Nen power is definitely very strong.
5?
6?
Jingyang wondered how much ki Hisoka had. "However, I've now maxed out my Enhancement type to 100%. In terms of close combat, I actually have the advantage over him, who's a Transmutation type."
Gathering the same amount of energy, using the same techniques, and throwing the same punch, Hisoka, a Transmutation type, can only unleash 80 points of power at most. Previously, Jingyang, a Manipulation type, and Shizuku, a Conjuration type, could only unleash 60 points, while Enhancement type could unleash 100 points!
This is why Cloud Valley's so-called Enhancement type doesn't need any special finishing moves. Because even a simple punch or kick from an Enhancement type is something that other types need to develop their Nen abilities to compensate for their "innate deficiencies" and achieve.
Calming his outward-emitting energy and maintaining a normal "Entanglement" state, Jingyang clenched his fist, glanced at the chaotic crowd nearby, reached out and picked up Chiro, who was terrified by Hisoka's abnormal power, and together with Shizuku, pushed open the hospital window, flipped over and jumped out, easily leaving with the help of Shizuku's Nen chainsaw.
……
Perhaps because he is a Nen user, all his pores are open, and his eyes and ears are incredibly clear. Therefore, Chilu's perception and experience of danger far surpasses that of ordinary people whose six senses are blocked. When faced with Hisoka's display of malice, the panicked ordinary people in the hospital at most felt that this clown who ran away from the circus was a bit creepy, but the self-taught young man Chilu was directly terrified. The malice that struck straight to the depths of his soul, even though Hisoka only showed it briefly when he attacked, was enough to make Chilu extremely horrified. It wasn't until he led Jingyang and Xiaodi back to his doorstep at night that he finally came to his senses.
"Are all monsters like that in the world of Nen?" Chiro asked.
He actually included Jing Yang and Xiao Di in the list as well. These two were able to stand up to that clown, so they were obviously not normal people... It was only because these two were on his side and not targeting him that he was affected. Otherwise, if the aura of three experts had come crashing down on him at the same time, he probably would have been scared out of his wits.
Jingyang patted his shoulder, leaving a small rose-gold star mark under the other's collar, and said, "Why think so much? Whether they are all monsters or not, they are all the same to you."
Which one?
"It's all the same when we die."
Chi Lu remained silent, then pushed open the door and led the two to see his father, who had been bedridden for many years, pleading with them for help.
The room smelled of medicine, mildew, and a faint odor of feces and urine.
Jingyang frowned slightly, Chilu looked embarrassed, but Xiaodi remained calm. She curiously looked around the room and then walked with Jingyang to the middle-aged man lying on the hospital bed. Although he was covered with a blanket, it was barely thick. After being bedridden for many years, Chilu's father was already skin and bones.
The man's face was thin, making his eyes appear large. He turned his gaze around for a moment, looking somewhat blankly at Jingyang and the other man, before finally fixing his gaze on his son, Chilu.
Chi Lü hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
On the way here, Jingyang had already heard him briefly describe his father's illness, which was a spinal problem. Years ago, he was hit on a construction site, and after being dislocated, it grew more and more crooked, compressing nerves or something, and eventually he became paralyzed.
“I was pretty good at fighting when I was young. I used to go to the Sky Arena to try my luck in order to raise money for my dad’s medical expenses.” Chiro sniffed. “I fought up to the 200th floor, but I heard that there was no prize money for winning the arena there, so I left. This superpower… this Nen ability, I suddenly got it after I went to the 200th floor and had a serious illness. After I recovered, I suddenly got it.”
It seems he survived by having all his vital pores opened by the energy from the 200th floor, and in doing so, awakened his Nen ability. Jing Yang understood, but since he had never actually fought on the 200th floor, he naturally knew nothing about Nen abilities…
"Don't worry, it can be cured." Jingyang lifted the suffocating blanket and pulled Chi Lü's emaciated father to sit up.
Jingyang named his Enhancement-type Nen ability "A Delicate Ash". Just like Killua's Transmutation-type "Godspeed" has two applications, Jingyang's "A Delicate Ash" also has two theoretical directions: one is "Nine Yang" for healing, and the other is "Nine Yin" for combat, which is still in the theoretical stage and needs further development.
A pure white aura tinged with a faint green light condensed in Jing Yang's palm. After pressing down on Chi Lü's father's bony shoulder, streams of vital Nine Yang True Qi flowed over him, and Chi Lü's father's sallow face almost instantly regained color, and he looked healthy again.
However, the problem lies in the spine.
The Nine Yang True Qi circulated through the body of Chi Lü's father, who seemed as fragile as if he could be shattered with a flick of a finger, and Jing Yang quickly identified the damaged part of his spine.
The healing ability of "Nine Suns" is derived from the star icon, and its self-healing effect is very strong.
However, this person's spine was already deformed, making it extremely difficult to heal itself when things were already worsening.
Jingyang asked, "Do you have sleeping pills?"
"Huh?" Chi Lu was stunned and shook his head.
"Anesthetic?"
That's even less likely. Chi Lü shook his head repeatedly.
"Then I'm sorry." Jing Yang said, and in Chi Lü's horrified eyes, he gently patted the protruding vertebrae of his father's spine. The sound of bones breaking could be clearly heard as Jing Yang patted them... Chi Lü's father let out a hoarse scream and quickly fainted from the pain.
It's actually easier to deal with someone who's in so much pain that they faint.
While injecting Nine Yang True Qi, Jing Yang repeatedly shattered his deformed spine. With the healing mechanism of "Nine Yang", there was no need to worry about damaging the nerves in the spine. It was better if they were broken, so that they could recover on their own and return to a healthy state.
In the end, this treatment cost Jingyang a full 3000 units of Qi before he was finally "cured" of Chi Lü's father. He now has a strong and intact spine, with smooth and unobstructed passage, and will no longer suffer from pain. After he wakes up and gets used to it, he should be able to walk on the ground by tomorrow morning.
Looking at his unconscious father, Chi Lü was so moved that he didn't know what to say. He knelt down before Jing Yang with a thud.
Jingyang did not stop him from kowtowing repeatedly.
"Finished kowtowing?" Jingyang said. "Then let's leave it at that."
He called out to Xiao Di and was about to leave.
Cultivation is a process of repeatedly consuming mental energy, like grinding water. Therefore, Jingyang didn't feel anything about spending 3000 energy to treat Chilu's father. He figured he might as well leave his energy there. As the saying goes, "A door hinge that is constantly used will not rust, and flowing water will not stagnate." The more he experimented with it, the smoother it would become, and the more he could control it. He also needed to test his newly developed enhanced mental energy on various injured patients and summarize his findings.
Chiro chased after them, asking with difficulty, "Can you teach me more Nen abilities? I want to become stronger..."
Jing Yang wasn't surprised and nodded, saying, "Whatever you want, we happen to be free recently anyway."
He himself was still hoping to get some guidance from Bisky, so of course he wouldn't apply double standards to this. Teaching and learning go hand in hand; the process of instructing others is also a process of summarizing and refining one's own practice, and Jingyang wasn't opposed to it.
