I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

……

The next morning, Xiao Di bought a newspaper and picked up the milk that Jing Yang had heated.

Jingyang unfolded the newspaper and saw that the front page featured an interview with two eccentric doctors, "Chaotic Kindness" and "Healing on Behalf of Heaven." He nodded in satisfaction while biting into the hot bun Xiaodi had bought for him.

Two hours later, a star-shaped signal came through.

Chapter 216 Distance

Is it that brat, Chilu?

Jing Yang sensed the location from which the star signal came, which was in the southeast direction, about ten kilometers away from him. Judging from the strength of the signal, it was clear that after being seriously injured, the star's healing ability was being activated to the maximum extent.

Is this kid really that unlucky?

Jingyang was speechless.

Yesterday, he acted on a whim. Even disregarding Hisoka's formidable presence, just being seen traveling with him and Shizuku, the two "masked quacks," might not be a good thing for that kid, Chiru. So, he put a star on Chiru's door in case of unforeseen circumstances. After all, Chiru had been traveling with him all this way; he didn't want him to be killed by villains and ruin his own merits.

Unexpectedly, early this morning, on his way to learn martial arts, Chi Lü really did meet with misfortune. It's quite pitiful.

However, Jingyang did not project his consciousness to investigate.

He has no masochistic tendencies, nor does he have a penchant for taking pain for others. Whatever happened, once Chilu is healed by Xingbiao and comes over, there will be an explanation. Sure enough, about an hour later, a pale-faced Chilu, still shaken, arrived at the inn where Jingyang and Xiaodi were staying.

Without Jingyang needing to find an excuse to question him, Chilu pointed to the bloodstains on his collar and began to stammer about the strange things he had encountered on his way here—no one would believe him if he told them, but he seemed to have died suddenly, but then he came back to life!

Jingyang smiled but remained silent.

Chi Lü suddenly realized that it must have been this miracle doctor who did something!

Thinking back to this morning, when his father, who had been bedridden for many years, was able to get out of bed and walk around, regaining at least the ability to live independently, and now this miraculous doctor had remotely saved him, "resurrecting" him, Chi Lü couldn't help but feel grateful and tearful, saying, "I really don't know how to repay you..."

Little Drop suggested from the side, "Why don't you tell us how you died?"

Chi Lu hesitated for a moment, then mumbled, "Actually, I don't know what happened. I only vaguely remember that when I was taking a shortcut through an alley, I suddenly felt a chill all over my body. When I woke up again, I was lying in a pool of congealed blood... Oh right, my neck seemed to hurt a little at the time."

He touched his neck, where the wound was no longer visible, swallowed hard, and said with lingering fear, "And, I found a bloodstained...playing card on the nearby wall. The card was almost completely embedded in the brick, with only a corner with a diamond pattern showing..."

He hadn't brought a "murder weapon," and he simply couldn't pull it out. The playing card was embedded in the wall; pulling it with brute force would only tear it in two. He couldn't even imagine how such an ordinary playing card could be embedded so precisely in the wall, like cutting tofu...

It really is Hisoka?

Jing Yang was surprised. He immediately thought of Hisoka's glorious feat of killing Kororo in the bathroom after failing to defeat him in a one-on-one fight. However, that was the Phantom Troupe, where everyone above a certain level was a master. Hisoka really shouldn't be so petty as to specifically target even a weakling like Chiro...

It can only be attributed to the fact that this kid, Chilu, was just too unlucky. He ran into Hisoka, who was out for a walk early in the morning, and Hisoka happened to remember him. Perhaps he wasn't targeting him specifically, but just threw a dart from a distance, killing him instantly. Chilu didn't even see Hisoka's shadow, and Hisoka probably didn't take it seriously and turned away. Otherwise, he wouldn't have failed to notice the star mark on Chilu's body...

In the world of Nian, nobodies and weaklings truly have no human rights!

Looking at the still-shaken Chi Lü, Jing Yang recalled his own experience when he first transmigrated. He realized that he was incredibly lucky to have managed to kill the First Prince's subordinate on the ship. If that man hadn't been completely drained of his spiritual energy after that fierce battle, he might have ended up like Chi Lü, dying without even having the strength to resist.

"If you want to get stronger, then follow along."

Jingyang left a message and went out of the hotel with Xiaodi. The two of them were wearing matching tracksuits and strolled towards a nearby park.

For them it was just a stroll, but for Chiro, it was a sprint, so fast that he didn't even have time to talk and could only give it his all and chase after them.

But these two deliberately took a long detour, zigzagging through several streets. What should have been a two- or three-kilometer journey turned into a 20-kilometer run before they finally entered the sparsely populated park through the main entrance. Chi Lu was already drenched in sweat, having taken off his shirt and tied it around his waist, while the two people walking alongside him didn't change their pace at all, not breaking a sweat.

The three of them walked deeper into the park, and there were hardly any other people around. Xiao Di looked down and found the mark she and Jing Yang had left a few days ago by the overgrown path. She found the wooden sign she had prepared in the nearby weeds, stuck it in the ground, and made it stand up.

“5000…” Chilu finally caught up, panting heavily, his tongue lolling out. Looking at the handwritten numbers on the sign, he couldn’t help but wonder, “This is… a distance marker?”

"There's more ahead," Jingyang called out. The three of them walked along the path, crossed the river, and set up a wooden sign every 500 meters until they reached a distance of 5 kilometers in a straight line. Sure enough, they stopped there. This place happened to be a riverside slope with a nice view. Although the other exit of the park was not far ahead, it was indeed a deserted place.

"Stop looking. This is my cultivation, it has nothing to do with you." Jing Yang shaded his eyes with his hand, nodded, withdrew his gaze, and turned to Chi Lü, who had recovered, and said, "As for you, you have to start from the very basics."

Xiao Di had already entered a meditative state not far away.

Jingyang gave Chilu a brief demonstration of the Four Great Entanglements Technique, which is the most basic of all. No matter how advanced one's skill is, one still needs to practice more.

Although Chilu lacked this basic knowledge, he had been a wild Nen user for a long time and even developed a half-baked monkey Nen beast with the opposite attribute. Although his basic skills were unbalanced and confused, he at least knew them.

Jingyang explained it once, and he roughly understood it, sorting out his past rough experience.

While he was practicing, Jingyang also sat down, enjoying the breeze. He brought up the Dying Aura panel and put the wisp of Dying Aura that had appeared with Hisoka yesterday into the Transmutation type section of the panel. The Transmutation type number immediately increased by one level from 83.3% to 84.3%. This aptitude was already higher than Shizuku's innate Conjuration type with its 80% Transmutation type aptitude.

Chi Lu reviewed the four major categories. The first three, Entanglement and Absolute Training, were fine, as they were applicable to all categories and were fundamental skills. However, the fourth, 'Fa', according to Jing Yang, required targeted training based on different Nen types. Furthermore, based on yesterday's Water Observation Test, he was a Transmutation type Nen user.

So, how does one cultivate the "Spark" ability of the Transmutation system?

"Don't look at me like that, I'm not a Transmutation type." Jing Yang waved his hand. "I've only heard about the basic training methods for Transmutation types. To avoid misleading others, please take what I'm about to say as advice, and don't blindly believe it."

If you know everything, why would you need to find a way to study with Bisky?

“In my view, the essence of the transformation system is, of course, transformation itself—transforming one’s Qi into the nature one desires,” Jing Yang said slowly. “If changing one’s nature is too difficult, then we should start with easier forms of transformation, gradually expanding the plasticity of Qi, and eventually achieving a qualitative change. Do you think that makes sense?”

Chilu nodded repeatedly, looking down at the energy in his palm, and muttered to himself, "The change in form..."

“The first step is to release your energy from your fingertips,” Jing Yang held up a finger, and the energy extended from his fingertip, slowly twisting into a circle. “Transform the energy into the numbers 0 to 9 one by one. The faster you can switch, the higher your proficiency and the stronger the malleability of your energy. Only if you can compress the time to less than 5 seconds can you be considered to have completed the first stage.”

This is one of the few instances in the manga where Bisky reveals the training standards for the Heart Source Stream when instructing the two main characters, Gon and Killua. However, she only mentioned this stage 1 of the Transmutation training standards. Jingyang is unclear about what the subsequent stages 2, 3, 4, 5, or more are like.

The rest, all Jingyang remembered were the training methods for the Enhancement and Emission systems. The Enhancement system involved using a stone to smash other stones. The more stones you could smash without breaking the stone in your hand, the higher your level of Enhancement cultivation. However, Jingyang had long forgotten how many stones the first stage required you to smash with the same stone.

The emission type is even more direct and straightforward, simply releasing the energy. However, Jingyang only remembers one stage where Bisky had Xiaojie do a handstand on one hand, exhaling air from under his palm to push his body up. But he couldn't recall exactly what the standard was...

Therefore, Jingyang figured out on his own and set a standard for his own training in the Release System.

According to Jingyang, the core standard for the "release system" lies in "distance".

The farther you can release gas, the more impressive you are in terms of the emission system.

Of course, it has to be an effective distance, the maximum distance that can guarantee the power of the air, not just throwing it with your eyes closed. If you throw it out, the air will not only be difficult to maintain its shape, but its power will also be lost, which would be meaningless.

The signs they erected along the way were used by Jingyang to train his release skills.

To this day, Jingyang can project a ball of air a maximum distance of 2.2 kilometers.

If it goes any further, the power of the energy will drop rapidly, proving that it is beyond Jingyang's current capabilities...

"Why hasn't it changed?" Chi Lü looked at the numbers changing on Jing Yang's fingertip. He had been holding it up for half a minute, and it was still the number 0.

Jing Yang said with a straight face, "I've already said I'm not a Transmutation type. Little Drop!"

Teaching assistant Xiaodi then raised a finger from afar, and the air rising from the fingertip transformed into the number 0. In the dumbfounded gaze of Chilu, it quickly jumped from 0 to 9 in one second, and finally became the Chinese character "替". She raised the other fingers in turn, and the fingertips successively appeared the characters "天", "行", and "医". She naturally raised the four fingers of her other hand, and the four characters "混", "乱", "善", and "良" quickly appeared on the fingertips.

The complex "pattern" that appeared in less than 5 seconds was exactly what was on her and Jingyang's masks, leaving Chilu in awe.

“If you can achieve this speed, you’ve already mastered more than just the basics,” Jing Yang said earnestly. “Take your time, young man.”

The tiny droplet had already been able to change the nature of air, transforming it into a form with the sharp cutting properties of a chainsaw. This was not just shaping, but a qualitative change, undoubtedly a high-level transformation ability.

If it weren't for this effect, it wouldn't have been possible to so easily shred Hisoka's "Bungee Gum".

Jingyang's Yin Nen sword was able to cut Hisoka's chewing gum Nen because of the "Yin Nen" characteristic of the sword. Xiao Shi relied on the sharp cutting properties of the chainsaw. Otherwise, the shape of the blade and the serrations alone would probably not be able to cut the chewing gum so easily. Instead, it would be "stuck" and "blocked" by the chewing gum, and thus be countered by Hisoka.

Xiao Di's achievements in the Transmutation type are self-evident. Jing Yang also has his own development ideas for the Transmutation type. But one must take things one step at a time. His own Enhancement type development has begun to show results, so the next step should be the Release type, which he is already relatively good at and has reached 100%. The Transmutation type can be put on hold for now.

In the Release system, Jingyang already possesses the "Finger Flicking Divine Power," but this skill was acquired quickly through constraints, which Jingyang finds unsatisfying.

In developing Nen abilities, first instinct is very important.

Jingyang's strongest first instinct regarding the release system is undoubtedly "mind beasts" and "teleportation."

If you release your Nen Beast and unleash a Flying Thunder God Technique, wouldn't that be incredibly cool?

Therefore, Jingyang patiently learned from Chilu's stumbling experience in developing spirit beasts...

And so the three of them began their cultivation in this way.

Chiro slowly began learning the Transformation System alone by the river, straining his breath to tremble and twist it into the shape of the number 1...

Xiao Di trained with Jing Yang. She mastered both the chainsaw and the bulging-eyed fish, excelling in both the alteration and materialization types. Jing Yang, on the other hand, focused on the emission type while also practicing the enhancement type. As for the manipulation type, he felt he had already practiced to the point where there was nothing left to practice. The star and moon symbols were very handy and smooth to use. As for the third symbol that he envisioned—the sun symbol—he didn't have a clear idea yet, so he left it aside for now.

Whoosh!

The ball soared through the air, passing the 500-meter, 1000-meter, 1500-meter, and 2000-meter markers, before struggling towards the 2500-meter marker. However, it collapsed halfway down, wobbling and falling at approximately 2222 meters before disintegrating. Jingyang, watching from afar, curled his lip and shook his hand, thinking, "Bad luck indeed!"

I wonder what level two thousand meters represents in the field of emission systems?

“I think it’s probably a good idea to extend the training range, but for the Transmutation type, is it enough to just train the speed of transformations?” Jingyang turned to look at Xiaodi and pondered, “Something just doesn’t feel right. As for the training standards for the Conjuration type, I have no idea what to do!”

In the manga, Bisky instructs Killua, who is a Transmutation user. Logically, according to the Yamagata training method, Killua should major in Transmutation and minor in Enhancement and Conjuration. However, Bisky only lets Killua and Gon practice Enhancement by smashing rocks, but doesn't mention how to practice Conjuration. As a result, Jingyang has no clue how to advise Shizuku.

Having standards for cultivation is essential to understanding the core principles of cultivation. For example, the distance for the Emission type and the "enhancement" in the Enhancement type—the farther the distance, the more powerful; the stronger the amplification, the more powerful. These are generally reliable. But what about the Transmutation and Conjuration types? What exactly are the standards and the core principles?

As for the speed of change and switching...

However, Little Drop's chainsaw is the kind that, once it transforms into its form, can be swung around like a whip. It doesn't really need to pursue speed in switching forms, so why continue to pursue extreme speed when it's already at its fastest?

As for the materialization system, it goes without saying. Xiao Di's bulging-eyed fish belongs to the spatial rule type. In Jing Yang's view, this function either exists or it doesn't. Once it is mastered, it seems that there is no room for further improvement and expansion... So how can one continue to cultivate? Even if one wants to continue to cultivate in depth, there is no practical idea.

Little Drop, holding the vacuum cleaner and the bulging-eyed fish, said, "We can just ask Bisky when the time comes."

“I’m really looking forward to it!”

Jingyang said with great interest that if he could catch Bisky, he would do everything he could to get the old lady to reveal all the cultivation ideas of the six major systems. He felt that the fact that this setting was not fully completed was a great regret.

……

Thus, in his spare time from cultivation, Jingyang and Xiaodi would occasionally visit various local hospitals to make their presence known, and four days had passed in the blink of an eye. On this day, the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the bustling streets. Jingyang and Xiaodi were followed by Chilu, who looked as exhausted as a dead dog. They had just finished their cultivation and were about to find something to eat when suddenly, Jingyang's expression changed slightly, and he stopped in his tracks.

He turned to look elsewhere, but a steady male voice came from behind him: "You're looking in the wrong direction, we're here."

Chapter 217 Invitation

Xiao Di didn't follow Jing Yang's gaze elsewhere, so she immediately saw the tall, middle-aged man walking out of a shop on the street.

He seemed to have been there all along, waiting for the three people to return from the park.

After practicing his Nen abilities all day, Chilu was so exhausted that he was delirious. He stopped involuntarily and realized that something was wrong. A middle-aged man with a tightly combed back, thick, gray eyebrows that looked like sharp swords piercing his temples, and a neatly trimmed, thick beard, dressed in a smart combat uniform similar to that of a soldier, blocked their way.

Behind the middle-aged man, three or four men in black suits walked up one after another, looking like his henchmen or bodyguards.

Little Drop looked at the person and said, "You've finally shown up."

The middle-aged man with white eyebrows and a thick beard was surprised to hear this.

Jing Yang then turned his gaze away from where he was looking and looked back at the middle-aged man blocking his way—this man was indeed very tall, almost the same height as himself, nearly two meters, and he looked intimidating.
