"What do you mean you're looking in the wrong direction? Don't try to scam me. I wasn't looking at you," Jingyang asked. "You guys have been lurking around and watching us secretly since yesterday. Finally, the young lady has deigned to show herself?"
The men behind the middle-aged man were taken aback. It turned out that their surveillance had been under someone else's control all along.
How novel! What do you guys think my pet sparrow is for? Just to disappear when I'm offline?
A rock finch perched atop a nearby lamppost opened its beak and yawned in a human-like manner.
"My name is Juezi Jue La." Although the middle-aged man was surprised, he did not show it and immediately revealed his identity. He took out a card from his pocket and said, "I was entrusted to meet the two divine doctors. As for my secret observation yesterday, it was only to confirm your identities. I had no choice but to do so. Please forgive me."
Jing Yang and Xiao Di weren't wearing masks at the moment, and he immediately revealed their identities, which greatly surprised Chi Lü. What surprised him even more was the card that the middle-aged man named Jue Zi Jue La pulled out, "A Hunter's License!?"
The young man's exclamation drew the attention of passersby, but Juezi Jue La didn't seem to care. Clearly, his skill and daring were unconcerned; he wasn't worried about his license being exposed and attracting thieves. Truly skilled hunters don't covet others' hunter licenses; Juezi Jue La has wiped out countless petty thieves who covet them with a flick of his wrist.
"Would you two do me the honor of finding a place to chat?" Zezzezera calmly put the hunter's license back into his pocket.
"No way," Jing Yang said expressionlessly. "Hiring a professional hunter to kidnap this divine healer just so you can order me around to treat patients and save lives, how novel is that? I'm busy practicing my skills, I don't have time to run around with you guys, you'd better find someone else." With that, he turned and left.
Juzjura said from behind, "The reward is very generous. Anything you want, wealth, treasures, whatever it is, even the long-discontinued Greed Island game console, as long as you are willing to help, my employer can provide it."
Jing Yang then stopped, turned around and looked Jue Zijue La up and down, "I'm not going to talk to you about the reward, so what are you promising?"
Juezi Jue La laughed and said, "It's all the same. As long as you're willing to speak."
Jingyang turned to Chilu and said, "Go home by yourself. Remember to practice at the usual spot in the park at 9 a.m. tomorrow."
"Oh. Okay." Chi Lü had wanted to slip away for a while. This bearded middle-aged man had a stern and capable air about him, and he didn't look like someone to mess with.
Jue Zi Jue La calmly looked at Jing Yang and the other person.
Jing Yang pretended to think for a moment, then reluctantly said, "How about this, you're a hunter, so you must be a master of Nen?"
"A master, huh..." Juezi Jue La smiled without saying a word, neither admitting nor denying it.
“You heard what I just said. Tomorrow, at the park, let’s have a match,” Jing Yang said with a smile. “If you can beat me or her, then we can have a proper talk.” He pointed to Xiao Di next to him.
Xiao Di sized up Jue Zi Jue La. She wasn't as warlike as Jing Yang, but it would certainly be good to gain more experience fighting against Nen users.
After Jingyang finished speaking, he turned around and left without waiting for Juezi and Juela's reply.
Juezi and Jue La didn't give chase. Since they knew that the other party was aware of their tracking all along, there was no need to continue making a fool of themselves.
Jingyang and Xiaodi's silhouettes were framed in a single lens. Several kilometers away, on the balcony of a high-rise building, someone put down their binoculars and muttered to themselves, "What's going on? They didn't follow along, and there wasn't a fight?"
……
"Zezizhela, are you confident you can beat them?" someone in the black suit asked.
Juezi Jue La remained silent, lost in thought.
The others said, "Didn't we just have an 'or' option? Even if we can't beat the guy, we can at least beat up the quiet girl next to us, right?"
Juezi Jue La glanced at the group with displeasure. "As long as we can complete the employer's commission and get the commission, it doesn't matter who we beat up. Let's go back and prepare."
For the past two years, due to his breakthrough progress in Nen ability, he has been busy accumulating achievements and making big money, which has caused him to neglect his basic skills for quite some time. Hopefully, his martial arts skills haven't become too rusty yet...

Why is it called Juezi Jue La?
On the way back to the hotel, Jingyang watched through Yan Que's eyes as Jue Zi Jue La and the others left in the opposite direction, recalling the manga plot that had already begun to blur in his mind.
In his memory, Zezilla was hired by Battra to try to pass through Greed Island, which was about half a year before Gon and Killua? That is, it is roughly in sync with the timeline of the first chapter of the manga, which is in early 1999, while it is only early 1996 now, a full 3 years apart.
……
What Jingyang didn't know was that Batra had already begun investigating the duo of eccentric doctors when the rumors first started.
Batra's Greed Island clearance team, assembled at great expense, has made limited progress so far. They don't know when they will be able to obtain the legendary Archangel's Aura Card, which is said to be able to cure everything. His lover, who has been critically ill for many years, could pass away at any time. Batra will not give up any new hope, but ordinary investigative methods have yielded nothing, and they don't even have a sure place for the strange duo.
Until the interview report a few days ago, Batra spent a lot of money to hire a professional hunter, the famous one-star bounty hunter Juzjura, determined to find the legendary healers and bring them over at all costs to cure his lover.
Just last night, Juzjura spoke with Batra by phone, and through surveillance and investigations at local hospitals, they largely confirmed the abilities of the strange doctors.
Batra had been seeking medical treatment for many years and even had a large number of Nen users under his command who could enter Greed Island to play games. Naturally, he knew something about Nen. Therefore, Zetsu Zetsu told Batra last night that one of these two divine doctors was most likely an Enhancement type with excellent healing Nen abilities...
Such Nen abilities are extremely rare, and their effects are so remarkable that they can bring the dead back to life and heal the wounded. They can even revive a person who has been paralyzed for many years in a vegetative state, and pull a person with an incurable disease who is just one step away from death back from the jaws of death. This is absolutely unprecedented.
Batra simply said that if it were true, he would go bankrupt to invite such a deity.
Do not hesitate to ask the two miracle doctors for their prices!
"The price is already going up."
In Juezi Jue La's residence, dressed in a vest and shorts, he sat cross-legged on the ground, his body radiating spiritual energy that expanded with each breath. He was frantically trying to catch up on his neglected skills, thinking, "If I can win, I'll have a chance to sit down and negotiate fairly. If I can't win, what right do I have to say anything? In that case, I really won't be able to stop Batra from going bankrupt..."
Entanglement, severance, training, release...
Ning, Zhou, Ying...
He thought to himself, "Batra's assets are enough to rival a country's wealth, probably exceeding a trillion. If I could earn all of that, wouldn't I be..."
Ugh!
A sigh rippled through the room.
-
The next day, in the same park and by the same deserted river, Jingyang and Xiaodi strolled over as if they were just walking.
Entanglement, severance, training, release...
Condensation, Zhou, hardness, roundness...
He and Xiao Di raised a thick layer of qi around their bodies, like solid armor, and quickly exchanged blows. Using the method of "flow," they distributed just the right amount of qi in each of their fights.
If you attack with 80 points of Qi, I will defend with 80 points of Qi. If you defend with 120 points of Qi, I will attack with 120 points of Qi. This kind of attack and defense not only tests the control of Qi, but also the eyesight of "Concentration". Usually, this kind of attack and defense practice is as slow and leisurely as old men and women practicing Tai Chi. However, Jingyang and Xiaodi are as fast, accurate and ruthless as octagonal cage MMA, and they move freely. The riverside slope was made to feel the cold wind by the two of them going back and forth.
At 8:30, Juezi Jue La, who was walking from afar, happened to see this scene. At first, he thought they were just fighting and practicing their fists and feet. But after focusing his energy in his eyes, he realized that the two men's fast and fierce punches and kicks were actually like this. He was shocked and horrified.
Is this how you play with Qi?
Is this how "flow" is made?
This isn't flow at all, you might as well call it slippery! The energy flowing through your body doesn't feel like water flowing over you, but rather like it's been lubricated, making it incredibly smooth—in comparison, when I use 'flow,' it's like a rusty machine, and I can already hear creaking and groaning.
Is the problem with me, or with the two of you?
Jingyang and Xiaodi played for a while, then noticed the wooden stake-like stilt at the top of the slope. They stopped gesturing, glanced at the time, and looked up to greet each other, saying, "You're early."
Jue Zi Jue La was stunned. He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, and asked in a deep voice, "Are those wooden signs on the road for practicing emission techniques?"
"Is it that easy to tell?" Jingyang nodded. "Yes."
Juezi Jue La broke out in a cold sweat again. According to his observations on the way here, the road surface with traces of damage caused by the gas cloud was located as far as the middle section between the 2500-meter and 2000-meter signs. In other words, the young man in front of him with the miraculous healing ability was also quite remarkable in his development of the Emission System!
More than 2000 meters?
seriously?
Even if the Release system is adjacent to the Enhancement system, isn't this a bit of an exaggeration? Doesn't your Enhancement training require effort? Basic techniques like Entangling Techniques and Flowing Cycles require hard work and practice. Where do you get so much energy and time?
When Juezi Jue La came to his senses, he realized that he had been daydreaming. The young man walked up to him, rubbing his shoulder, and asked, "Shall we start now? Do you want to get ready?"
"No need." Jue Zijue took a deep breath.
"By the way, what's your major?" Jingyang asked. "If you're too far from the Enhancement major, I won't engage you in close combat."
You fucking... Juezi Jue La almost broke down. What do you mean by that? Are you looking down on me?!
Jingyang observed his constipated, restrained expression and said, "He didn't start cursing right away, so he's definitely not an enhancement type."
He was genuinely curious!
When I read Hunter x Hunter in my past life, one of my biggest curiosities was knowing what type of Nen each character introduced. For example, Zeno of the Zoldyck family – was that old man an Emission or Transmutation type? Many people disagreed. Even Netero, with his Hundred-Style Guanyin, an unconventional technique, led many to question whether he was an Enhancement type. If he was, how could he magically teleport Guanyin behind the Chimera Ant King to deliver a verbal attack? Even the Chimera Ant King, Meruem, had many debating whether he was a Specialization or Enhancement type…
Juezi Jue La appeared in the Greed Island arc, but his Nen system was not mentioned, which made Jing Yang a little curious.
Little Di was also curious and watched intently from the sidelines, ready to witness the battle.
Juezi Jue La did not answer, but took a stance, mobilized his aura, and said in a deep voice, "Come on."
"Ok!"
Jing Yang also assumed a starting stance, his aura surging forth, forming a thick, armor-like "firmness." The rose-gold star behind his neck also quickly activated "Meteor Like the Wind," switching to his strongest close-combat mode, combining strength and gentleness like flowing water... Jue Zi Jue La did not fully unleash his aura, and Jing Yang was not entirely clear about his strength, so he dared not be careless.
Jue Zi Jue La let out a low shout and launched the first attack.
……
boom!
Jue Zi Jue La flew backward, spitting out blood from his nose, and rolled to the ground with a thud. He struggled to turn over, but suddenly felt a weight on his body. Jing Yang had caught up with him, pressing down on his arm with a knee and placing a fist in front of his face where blood was flowing from his nose.
Jue Zi Jue La struggled in vain, drenched in cold sweat.
Jing Yang withdrew his fist, pulled him up from the ground, and asked, "Why didn't you maintain 'Strength' at all times? Did you not want to? Without 'Strength,' of course your offense and defense can't keep up!"
"Damn it..." Juezi wiped the blood from his nose, inwardly cursing, "Do you think everyone's like you, a power-up user, maintaining 'strength' the whole time without weakening at all? When it comes to close combat, someone like me is definitely no match for these power-up muscle bastards..."
"Come on, let's test it." Little Di had already prepared a glass of water and placed a leaf on the surface.
Juezi Jue La took a look, and his eyes twitched immediately.
Jingyang shrugged. "You lost."
Not far away, Chi Lü hurriedly ran over. Jing Yang grabbed Xiao Di's wrist and checked his watch; it was 8:55.
"I'll come again tomorrow!"
She had only lasted for ten or twenty minutes? Jue Zi Jue La was filled with shame and indignation. She left with a cold snort and, regardless of whether Jing Yang and the other person agreed to give her another chance tomorrow, she walked away haughtily with a limp.
“He…” Chi Lu pointed.
"It's none of your business, you keep practicing." Jing Yang clapped his hands.
"Oh." Chi Lü nodded and began to cultivate the four elements in turn, focusing on practicing the techniques of transforming mental energy.
……
As evening fell, the setting sun, like blood, bathed the quiet river. Exhausted from the day, Chi Lü had already gone home.
Xiao Di, carrying the bulging-eyed fish, sucked the leftover food container into it. She also discussed with Jing Yang what the core of the materialization training was, and how it extended from the materialization system to the transformation system.
"How fast is the change and transformation?"
"How thorough is the change?"
"How long does the materialized item last?"
