I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Jing Yang nodded. Of course, he could see that this black wild boar was not just as majestic as a mountain; it was actually emanating a thick aura, and its strength was comparable to that of an ordinary Nen user.

However, while it was 'firm,' it wasn't completely 'firm.' Only the front half of the black wild boar's body emitted a surging white light, while the rear half was faintly glowing, especially its curled tail, which was completely devoid of any aura, making one want to grab it and give it a tug.

Bisky commented, "This game is designed for Nen users. The monster designs are practically made to help Nen users hone their Nen skills. They really put a lot of thought into it!"

Hey! Fat pig!

Jing Yang jumped out and shouted at the black wild boar, "Look where you are! I'm talking to you! I, Zhen Tian Zhen Di Zhen Yuan Zi, am here to suppress you, you black whirlwind!"

The black wild boar circled around before turning back to see the arrogant humans. Enraged, its eyes turned bloodshot, its tusks became even more prominent, and it spewed out two streams of hot air from its nostrils like sharp arrows, while its hooves pounded the ground.

"Is this a wild boar or a bullfight?" Bisky was speechless. The wild boar's head-turning movement was very stiff, which seemed to be a "loophole" left by the game designers for players to overcome the strong with the weak and defeat the strong with the skill.

However, some people deliberately chose not to exploit loopholes. After the black wild boar started running, it hurtled towards Jingyang like a black meteorite crashing down on the ground.

Jingyang assumed a horse stance, focused his energy into his dantian, and his arm muscles bulged and swelled, each muscle rising and twisting. He channeled his inner energy into his arms, gathering it in his palms. The white light rapidly spread out, finally catching the black "meteorite" that crashed into him head-on.

Bang! Sizzle sizzle sizzle—Jing Yang was thrown backward by the black "meteorite." His two legs, like two iron nails, plowed two deep, parallel furrows more than thirty meters long into the ground. It would be a pity if he didn't use them for plowing and cultivating the land.

Jing Yang stopped, gripping the wild boar's upturned tusks with one hand and pressing down on its head with the other. The surging Nen energy in his chest withstood the impact. The black wild boar seemed to go berserk, its hooves thrashing in the mud, its head twisting and turning, but it could no longer escape the human's grip.

Jing Yang let out a low shout, and the veins on his arms, which had become twice as thick, bulged as he snapped a wild boar tusk in half with one hand. He then slammed his palm heavily on the top of the wild boar's head, causing it to lose its strength, roll its eyes back, and slump to the side like a small mountain.

Wu Er and the rock sparrow on its head stared in unison, completely dumbfounded.

Bisky stared at it for a moment, then walked over and asked, "How does it feel?"

Bang! After being defeated, the wild boar suddenly transformed into a card on the spot.

[Number 501, Charge Wild Boar, F-122]

Wild boars that only inhabit mountainous and forested areas only charge head-on, possessing immense power, but are very poor at changing direction. Their hindquarters are a weak point, especially their tail, which is easily torn off, leading to their death.

Jing Yang picked up the card. "The acquisition difficulty is only F level. From SS level to H level, this is the third lowest level of difficulty! It doesn't seem to make much of a difference."

He threw the card into the card book, and then he could exchange it for a money card at the city's trading shop.

“This F-rank refers to the difficulty of using strategy to attack the wild boar’s weaknesses and subdue it,” Bisky said. “The force of that impact just now was at least the strength of a frontal attack from a fighter with 1 Nen.”

"With a Nen capacity of 1, how much of that will actually be used in an attack?" Jing Yang laughed. "So-so. I have at least 3 Nen capacity, so I'm not afraid of a battle of Nen power. By the way, Bisji, regarding enhancement-type training, you mentioned before that it emphasizes the enhancement effect. So how exactly is that assessed?"

"Upon reaching the fifth level of enhancement cultivation, one can unleash ten times the power of a single unit, or there may be no limit whatsoever. The path of enhancement has no true end. What has an end is the human mind; human strength has its limits."

Jing Yang asked curiously, "President Netero seems to be an Enhancement type. Is he at that level?"

Bisky said, "Of course."

Jingyang then asked, "How many times more powerful can he unleash a single unit of energy?"

Bisky said, "I'm not quite sure. I haven't seen Chairman Netero fight seriously for many years. But it must be at least 10 times stronger. Chairman Netero's 'Flow' has been cultivated to the point where no trace can be seen, and so can his 'Hair'. His moves are completely unpredictable."

The two chatted as they walked back.

Bisky paused for a moment, then said, "Actually, Chairman Netero calls the realm he's at 'the Ultimate'."

"The pinnacle of achievement? That sounds incredibly impressive!" Jing Yang exclaimed. "So, the fifth level of cultivation is the pinnacle?"

“Yes and no,” Bisky said, her hands behind her back. “Levels one through five are my personal set of experiences. I’m not very talented, so I prefer to see tangible progress every day of training, even if it’s just a tiny bit. When I was younger, even the slightest improvement in my skills would make me happy for days.”

It was rare for her to show such sentimentality. Some say that when a person starts reminiscing about the past, it means they're getting old. At this point, despite her youthful appearance, Bisky exuded the aura of a seasoned middle-aged woman.

"President Netero divides cultivation into four levels. The first level, which is the entry level, is called 'Excellent'. The second level, which is a further step, is called 'Outstanding'. The third level is 'Talent'. The fourth level is 'Extreme', which is the pinnacle."

Having returned to their tent encampment at the edge of the rift valley, Little Drop, who was reading a book inside the tent, came out upon hearing their commotion. She saw Bisky take a twig and draw a hexagon on the ground, with each corner as the center, and then draw six circles, each of which is composed of four concentric circles from the inside out.

"President Netero calls this concentric circle the attribute circle for measuring the degree of cultivation."

The six concentric circles are located at the six vertices of the hexagon. Since the circles are not large, they do not intersect each other.

“Everyone is born with only one type of Nen, like a point. It’s just a matter of where that point falls within the hexagon of Nen.” Bisky said, pointing the branch to the top four concentric circles. “Take Enhancement as an example.”

Bisky said, "The process of cultivation can actually be seen as a process of slowly entering the attribute circle of the enhancement system. When you enter the outermost circle, you are excellent; when you go further in, you are outstanding; when you go further in, you are talented; when you go deep into the center of the circle, you will suddenly see the world clearly and reach the pinnacle."

Little Drop asked in confusion, "From this perspective, isn't it changing one's innate mental constitution?"

“It’s not so much a change as an adjustment,” Jingyang added. “Or let’s put it another way: the process of cultivating Nen ability is a process of increasing purity. Let’s assume a 100% pure enhancement-type dummy, which we consider the absolute truth and the central target of enhancement. Then, the cultivation of enhancement is the process of adjusting our mind and body, gradually imitating, approaching, and even becoming one with this 100% pure dummy, the absolute truth, and the central target. When we reach the Dao, that is it!”

“Oh.” Little Drop suddenly realized, “It’s like having a broken bone, and then gradually setting it. Once all the bones in the body are in place, that’s what’s called reaching the pinnacle.” She then asked curiously, “According to this theory, it seems that the harmony and unity of mind and body is more important than the strength of one’s Nen ability.”

“Yes,” Bisky said calmly. “President Netero is a thorough elitist and a true spiritualist. He has no patience for dealing with the weak, fools, or idiots, and prefers to communicate with those who are insightful, exceptionally talented, quick to understand, and of a very high spiritual level…”

“It sounds like someone is holding a deep grudge…” Jing Yang looked at Bisky.

"It sounds like this Chairman Netero is actually most concerned about himself," Xiao Di said thoughtfully. "The kind of people he associates with are all for the purpose of helping him cultivate his mind. He doesn't really care about anyone except himself."

Chapter 236 Seventy-two Changes

“Chairman Netero is a natural-born martial artist, so he can’t understand the feelings of an outsider,” Bisky said calmly. “Being around him, if you can’t keep up with his pace, you’ll either be ignored or toyed with, neither of which are pleasant memories…”

"You started gritting your teeth as you were talking..." Jingyang complained.

How much suffering did she endure by Nitero's side when she was younger than her aunt?

She just claimed to be dull-witted, which may be partly because Netero is her point of reference, but it is probably also because of this that she developed the Nen ability "Magical Beautician Cookie Girl" that can eliminate fatigue?

A magical beautician?

It should be the Magic Scroll King!

Did Bisky train like she was doing two days' worth of training, working herself to the bone to avoid being ignored or mocked by her master Netero, and end up with that perfect physique reminiscent of a JOJO character?

Bisky said, "In short, if we have to match the two evaluation systems for cultivation progress one by one, the five levels that I represent and the four levels that Chairman Netero represents, the highest level is similar. Both can be described as the pinnacle of achievement. The only difference is that my system has an additional lowest level, the entry level."

“We could also add corresponding introductory information for Nitero,” Jingyang suggested.

"【Good】?" Xiao Di added.

"【Good】【Excellent】【Talent】【Extreme】, exactly from level one to five, this feels great." Jing Yang laughed, counting on his fingers. "To be honest, President Netero's system is too mysterious, with its elemental attributes, innate talents, and the unification of mind and Nen, etc. It's more intuitive and more... data-driven than your system, Siji! Every step forward is perceptible, every step forward still has a goal, and it has a very good sense of rhythm for leveling up!"

Bisky raised an eyebrow, put her hands on her hips, and chuckled, "Right?"

Jing Yang glanced at his death aura panel.

Enhancement Type: Level 2 [Excellent]

Variation coefficient: 84.3%

Realization system: 97.2%

Specialty: Level 5 [Extreme]

Control System: Level 4 [Talent]

Release System: Level 3 [Show]

Sure enough, after listening to Bisky's little lesson, the change in his understanding was reflected in the death aura panel, which now had new annotations.

However, it's really outrageous that I ended up maxing out the Specialization skill tree first, given my control system!

"Wu Er, we can't let our guard down any longer! Extra training this morning! We need to develop our materialization skills as soon as possible! Understand?" Jing Yang went to find Can Yuehu, who had just finished eating the wild boar, full of energy. "I feel like we're almost there."

Jingyang was initially worried that this "wild monster" might be a physical object materialized by Jin and his group of Nen users. However, after he deactivated the wild boar from its card form, it could no longer be transformed back into a card and was actually just like an ordinary animal carcass, which Wu Er could eat for breakfast.

This reminded him of what Bisky had said about the highest level of cultivation in the Conjuration system.

The materialized objects are indistinguishable from the real thing; this is truly the pinnacle of perfection.

Yin and Yang, through their ability to create all things, belong to this category.

Bisky smiled slightly as she watched Jing Yang, whose fighting spirit had inexplicably ignited. She followed him with her hands behind her back and asked, "How was the cooperative Nen ability you were developing designed again?"

“Oh, I call it…” Jing Yang turned around and smiled handsomely, “‘Seventy-two Transformations’.”

Little Drop reminded me from the side, "Bisky is asking about the design concept."

"Conjuration System: Seventy-Two Transformations"

Collaborative Nen Ability

1. Wu Er can transform into a tiger-skin skirt, which the wearer can use to transform.

2. Wu Er cannot transform on his own.

'3. A person wearing a tiger-skin skirt needs to input Nen to maintain the transformation.'

4. The greater the change in size after transformation, the more Nen (energy) is required per second.

5. There are three ways to transform into the Tiger Skin Skirt: ① On-site copying: While wearing the Tiger Skin Skirt, touch the target person or object whose image you want to copy with your left hand for more than 10 seconds; ② Imagining from thin air: While wearing the Tiger Skin Skirt, construct the desired image by releasing Nen with your right hand. This process requires continuous output of Nen and cannot be interrupted, taking anywhere from 1 hour to 1 day; ③ Pre-set: (Based on ① or ②) save up to 72 possible images...

……

“…That’s how it works in theory.” Jing Yang reiterated the concept of the tiger-skin skirt’s seventy-two transformations Nen ability to Siji and Xiao Shi, then turned to the big tiger and said earnestly, “I’m almost done on my end, just waiting for you to catch up. What about the skirt I ordered? Hmm?”

He angrily rubbed the tiger's head. Wu Er looked helpless. Even as the King of the Jungle, he hadn't been told to develop Nen abilities. This was putting the tiger in a very difficult position.

Bisky agreed, "This Nen ability can indeed have a surprising effect in intelligence warfare and espionage. Moreover, it not only uses the Conjuration-type talent of the Tsukigami to share the pressure of developing the Nen ability, but also distributes the complex transformation and Nen output to yourself as a human, which is a pretty good idea."

Xiao Shi said, "In that case, we'll rely even more on the cultivation speed of the materialization type, right?"

Unlike her bulging-eyed fish, which, although a materialization-type Nen ability, doesn't affect its ability to function as a vacuum cleaner due to its level of realism; however, if it's a transformation ability, wouldn't it be ridiculous if the transformed form looked completely fake?

"So we have to practice, practice like crazy!" Jing Yang tugged at the corners of the tiger's mouth, thinking to himself: If only I had a Conan by my side, every time I went out I'd be at a murder scene, with death energy flowing in every day, and I could max out the materialization aptitude on the death energy panel in three days...

……

After resting for about an hour, Xiao Di used the bulging-eyed fish to pack up the two tents, and the three of them, along with the tiger and the bird, continued on their way.

Tigers leaped through the forests on either side, while rock sparrows soared high above, acting as both the drone camera and bird-shaped navigation for Jingyang. The group sped relentlessly towards the city to the north, where the so-called city lord was said to reside.

By noon, having covered approximately 400 kilometers, the destination was within reach—with the help of the bird's eye, which was visible from a hundred meters above the ground, Jingyang could vaguely make out the outline of a city a hundred kilometers ahead.

"We're almost there." Jingyang breathed a sigh of relief. "Four hundred kilometers, no roads, no GPS, but thankfully we didn't go astray."

“So…” Bisky also slowed down her pace.

Xiao Di said, "They've been following us for an hour, and it seems like there's only one person here."

"Who should go?" Jing Yang clenched his fist. "How about we decide by rock-paper-scissors?"

Bisky said, "No need. He patiently followed us for a hundred kilometers, but didn't dare to intercept us or ambush us. It's clear that as long as the three of us stay together, he won't show himself. You guys go ahead. If I'm alone, he'll probably start to have ideas..."
