I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Bisky's mind raced, and she immediately guessed the method used by Alipay to call out the ball...

An hour later, Jing Yang lay exhausted on the ground.

The surrounding ground was full of potholes and cracks, and even a gourd-shaped hole was blasted out on the lakeside, into which lake water was slowly overflowing.

"I never thought I'd be the one who got worn down..." Jing Yang lay sprawled out, panting heavily.

The bruises and other injuries on his body are slowly disappearing thanks to the self-healing function of the star.

However, having exhausted all his spiritual energy, even the 30,000 units of energy he had reserved in the Spirit Sword were completely depleted. Even the Star Mark's rogue self-healing ability was undoubtedly affected, and the healing speed was greatly slowed down...

Little Drop turned to look at Bisky.

Unlike Jing Yang, who lay exhausted, Bisky still looked like a cute, youthful doll. She said, "From the moment you decided to compete with me in endurance, you already lost."

The aura surrounding Bisky was like flowing, peculiar essential oil, enveloping her entirely.

Xiao Di could see clearly that during the battle with Jing Yang, Bisky seemed to be completely immersed in a special Nen oil with extremely strong restorative power. Not only did Bisky consume far less ki during the battle than Jing Yang, but even the injuries she sustained from being hit by the enhanced Huabei Nen ball were reduced or even healed at an extremely fast speed...

What was invisible during the battle but could be seen in Bisky's condition now that it was over was her seemingly perfect mental state—from body to mind, from physical strength to Nen, Bisky was as if nothing had happened, and there was no indication that she had expended much energy.

"This doesn't make sense." Jing Yang sat up, staring at Bisky, whose Nen oil had disappeared and who had returned to normal Nen. "Is her Nen still able to keep flowing endlessly? It would be more reasonable for her to recover after the fight, wouldn't it?"

Bisky scoffed, "Talking about rationality in the world of Nian... are you serious?"

Little Drop walked over. "Bisky, you didn't use..." She thought for a moment, "...your true form!"

That's right, from beginning to end, Bisky fought using this petite princess body and defeated Jingyang.

Bisky waved her hand and said, "I already know quite a bit about Jingyang's Nen ability, so there's no need to keep changing it. Besides—" She paused, then generously revealed to the two little ones, "No matter which form I use, my actual total Nen amount is the same. So, in a way, I'm not really hiding my strength. Jingyang, don't make that face."

Jingyang asked curiously, "So you think the same thing? Then there must be some differences between your two postures, right?"

Bisky pondered for a moment and said, "How can I describe it to you... It's like a fierce tiger that has its limbs retracted and has shrunk to the size of a kitten. The tiger's strength hasn't diminished, but it inevitably feels restricted and unable to stretch out properly!"

"You just said you weren't hiding your strength?" Jing Yang exclaimed.

Bisky comforted her, "I'm just saying this to make you feel better."

"Where do you feel better?" Jing Yang muttered to himself. "Just wait, let me practice for a few more days, perfect my spirit beast, develop new abilities... Anyway, Auntie, you just wait!"

Little Drop asked, "So?"

She looked at Bisky, "Now that you've finished fighting with Jingyang, do you have a new answer to Jingyang's invitation yesterday?"

Bisky didn't answer directly, but instead asked Jingyang, "Those guys who were threatened by the bomb demon were hunters hired by Batra. Why don't you use them as a basis to find other hired hunters and get them all to leave Greed Island? If I remember correctly, that was your plan when you entered Greed Island, right?"

"Huh?" Jingyang was taken aback by the question. "Oh, I think there was such a thing. Oh well, I forgot!"

He turned to look at Xiao Di, "I caught it from you."

"Huh?" A question mark appeared above Little Drop's head.

Bisky pointed at Jingyang and said, "You are a person without goals."

Chapter 253: Talisman Sword

Am I a person without goals? How can I say that?

Upon hearing this, Jingyang asked in bewilderment, "Who said I don't have goals? I do!"

“Oh?” Bisky said, “Then tell me.”

“I…” Jing Yang paused for a moment. He wanted to say that his goal was to explore the Dark Continent, but when he met Bisky’s gem-like eyes, he fell silent for a moment and said sincerely, “To explore the ultimate in Nen abilities—I once set myself such a goal, whether or not it can be achieved, but pursuing it will never be a loss: immortality.”

Xiao Di noticed that Bi Siji's expression was not unusual when she heard Jing Yang make such a boastful statement about his goal.

That's perfectly normal! Many people who have come into contact with such magical powers have fantasized about immortality or being invincible. It's not surprising that Jing Yang said something like that.

Bisky calmly said, "You said your pursuit is the ultimate in Nen, that you want to be immortal, but what have you done for it? More than a hundred years ago, Chairman Netero was determined to pursue the ultimate in martial arts. From then on, he practiced diligently and immersed himself in the cultivation of martial arts regardless of the weather. He went to the deep mountains and forests many times, and each time he practiced hard, it took five, six, seven or eight years without realizing it."

“While others were cultivating themselves, he was practicing martial arts; while others were enjoying worldly life, he was still practicing martial arts. Netero didn’t think he had sacrificed or given anything. In fact, even if life passed by in the blink of an eye, for more than ten or several decades, as long as he made progress in martial arts, he felt happier than anyone else.”

“Or take me as an example,” Bisky said. “I am also passionate about martial arts. When I was a few years old, I joined the Shingen-ryu Dojo to hone my skills. After I gained Nen ability in my teens, I would often go into seclusion for years at a time, not caring about anything else! It wasn’t until I was middle-aged, when I felt that my training had reached its peak, that I began to travel the world…”

Jingyang couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you a gem hunter?"

“That’s just a hobby,” Bisky said calmly. “The way of martial arts is what I’ve pursued my whole life. Don’t interrupt!”

She looked at Jingyang and said, "But what about you? From what I've observed over this period of time, you spend no more than 10 hours a day on cultivation. When you're distracted by other things, you don't even think about your cultivation for a second."

"There has to be a balance," Jingyang chuckled dryly.

"But have you really reached your maximum potential? Have you fully utilized your energy and talent to the fullest?" Bisky's tone wasn't aggressive, but Jingyang felt very guilty.

Putting everything else aside, just the incredible power of the Death Aura panel alone... I haven't fully utilized it at all.

In fact, with the help of starred markers, one can easily spend more than 20 hours a day practicing.

If you control it yourself, you can even train 24 hours a day without interruption.

“Look, you say you pursue the ultimate in Nen, but you don’t really care about it,” Bisky said. “You said you formed the Akatsuki organization with the aim of recruiting companions to explore the Dark Continent, but so far you’ve only recruited two. Even when you invited me, you said it was just a spur-of-the-moment thing—which shows you don’t really consider exploring the Dark Continent to be a very important thing.”

Jingyang retorted, "How can I just recruit anyone? I'd rather have none than hire the wrong kind."

Bisky laughed and said, "If someone of my caliber is the only one who meets your so-called 'better to have none than to have bad ones' standard, then you could search the whole world and still not be able to find enough members."

That was an arrogant statement. But neither Jingyang nor Xiaodi could refute it.

Bisky continued, “You said you were going to enter Greed Island to find those second-rate hunters who were hogging the game machines and drive them out, but you’ve hardly mentioned it since you came in. You keep saying you want to take revenge on that guy named Leza, but Leza is right in front of you, and you’re still dragging your feet and being nonchalant—don’t even mention being fully prepared. I think you actually know Leza very well, and I can guarantee that your current level is already better than most Nen users in the world.”

“He just lost to you,” Little Drop said.

“Because I am superior to the vast majority of Nen users in the world,” Bisky said calmly. “Losing to me doesn’t prove anything. —You said you planned to participate in the Hunter Exam, but it doesn’t seem like you take it that seriously. You know so many professional hunters; you clearly have many ways to do it, don’t you?”

Jing Yang remained silent until now, then smiled bitterly and said, "It's as if I'm completely useless."

Bisky waved her hand. "I still admire you, otherwise I wouldn't have said so much to you. I... sense a kind of confusion in you. I'm getting old, so I can't help but grumble a bit."

"Really?" Xiao Di looked at Jing Yang.

"So that's why you rejected my invitation?" Jingyang asked. "What if I'm no longer confused?"

Bisky looked at him.

Jingyang sighed, sat down again, pondered for a moment, and said, "I... want to go home."

Xiao Di looked surprised; this was the first time she had heard the word "home" from Jing Yang.

"And... I want to know if this world is real or fake." Jing Yang closed his eyes, pursed his lips, and said after a long while, "If I can bring the power of thought to its extreme, maybe I can get what I want? Or... even if I die decades or a hundred years later, even if I have accomplished nothing, I will still be able to see the result."

“I see.” Bisky frowned and then relaxed, slowly saying, “Pursuing the ultimate Nen is the only way you can think of that might achieve your wish, but even if you do nothing, at the moment of your death, you feel that you can at least give an answer to the doubts in your heart. That’s why you seem confused!”

Jingyang thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps!"

Little Drop asked curiously, "You want to know if this world is real or fake? What do you mean by that?"

“The existence of such power makes one wonder if this world is even real,” Jingyang said. He couldn't very well abruptly bring up the Hunter x Hunter manga with Xiaodi and the others, could he? He might be happy to talk about it, but they might not be.

So, Jingyang briefly gave a summary of The Matrix, which Xiaodi listened to with great interest, pressing for details... Bisky, watching Jingyang's eloquent speech, thought silently: This kid... harbors a very strong self-destructive impulse. Detached from social relationships, questioning the reality of the world, with nothing truly he wants to do...

Perhaps deep down, I feel that whether there is an ultimate limit to thought or whether one can cultivate to the ultimate level, it may not be able to explain the doubts in my heart.

Only death can provide the final answer.

What had he gone through...? Bisky had never seen a child like this before.

"Anyway, as long as I can beat you, Bisky, you'll be willing to accept my invitation, right?"

Jingyang suddenly turned his head and asked.

Bisky smiled and said, "Okay, I don't object."

"Just you wait!" Jing Yang's fighting spirit ignited. He snorted and sat cross-legged on the spot, his spiritual energy suddenly gathering. "Practice, practice!"

Death energy: 5 points

Start refining!

Watching Jing Yang's aura bubbling up like boiling water, seemingly undergoing some kind of qualitative change, Bisky couldn't help but marvel, thinking to herself, "This kid, no wonder he dares to talk about pursuing the ultimate in Nen, he's definitely got something special! He probably has some secret ability he's relying on..."

"Little Di, don't just sit there. Come on, let's spar a bit."

Bisky beckoned to Drop, and Drop quickly shook off the Nen chainsaw and attacked Bisky.

Bisky's Nen transformed into Nen oil, which calmly moved through the chainsaw's woven web...

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed!

call!

An invisible shadow sliced ​​through the air, and the jade-faced Taoist nun stood gracefully, her right hand thrusting out a peach wood sword that twirled twice before elegantly draping it behind her back.

"Tsk tsk... Your spirit beast's energy consumption has increased quite a bit! I reckon it'll take you around 1 units of Qi to release it now!" Bisky looked the jade-faced Daoist nun up and down. "Is this wooden sword the power of its right hand?"

Jingyang glanced at the death aura panel.

Total recitation volume: 30000/40000 breaths

Death energy: 0

Jing Yang smiled and said, "Strictly speaking, it is this wooden sword plus the sleeve on its right hand that constitutes its complete new ability."

He beckoned to the jade-faced Taoist nun with his finger.

The nun then handed him the wooden sword in her right hand—silently, the wooden sword pierced through his chest.

wrong.

Bisky and Xiao Di clearly saw that most of the wooden sword was embedded in Jing Yang's chest, but not a bit of it protruded from his back.

A full 5 minutes later.

The wooden sword suddenly pierced through Jingyang's back, and at the same time, a yellow talisman hung from the tip of the sword.

Little Di curiously reached out to grab it, but couldn't touch the yellow talisman at all. However, she did see the pattern drawn on the talisman, which was a bright pink pentagram.

“Star-marked talisman.” Jing Yang said, and the jade-faced Daoist nun sheathed her wooden sword, raised her right sleeve, and a yellow paper talisman with a five-pointed star pattern floated into her sleeve. Then the Daoist nun thrust out her sword again, and five minutes later, the wooden sword emerged from behind Jing Yang again, with another talisman condensing, but this time the pattern on the talisman was the two characters “Nine Yang”.

The Nine Yang Talisman floated into the sleeve of the Taoist nun's waving right hand.

The Taoist nun flicked her right sleeve again, and a star-shaped talisman flew out from the sleeve and flew towards Bisji.

Bisky caught it with her hand and asked in surprise, "So, this Nen beast of yours can not only store your own Nen abilities, but also lend them to others?"

Xiao Di was also curious: "How do you use it?"
