I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

Jingyang muttered to himself the whole way. Xiaodi walked alongside him, nodding in agreement from time to time.

The two walked down the street, their hands unconsciously intertwining, and soon found a supermarket and went inside.

Chapter 83 I am a Celestial!

Jingyang took Xiaodi to the supermarket and, amidst Xiaodi's puzzled gaze, bought five masks, five sets of plus-size gray tracksuits, five megaphones, and a box of fine needles.

"Let's go to the area where we took that photo."

The two quickly went to the area around the fountain square where the photo of Kurapika had been taken by chance was located.

Jing Yang flipped his hand, and the five thread ends were enveloped by the air mass that emerged from his palm, instantly transforming into five flying star bubbles that floated in the air in front of Jing Yang.

go with!

Jingyang casually waved his hand, and five flying star bubbles flew into the crowd of people coming and going.

Even the most ordinary person with excellent dynamic vision can only see a thread folded into a pentagram shape fluttering in the air, but cannot see the air mass wrapped around the thread.

These air masses lack direct destructive power, thus posing little threat and failing to arouse alarm.

Pop, pop, pop, pop, pop.

Soon, the five flying star bubbles touched the skin of five male and female passersby, leaving five different rose-gold marks.

The five people immediately froze, and simultaneously changed direction, heading towards a nearby shopping mall, where they entered the restroom one after another.

They opened their respective bathroom stalls, and inside the doors hung a gray tracksuit, a mask, a megaphone, and a thin needle.

……

In the fountain square, a person wearing a toy mask and a gray tracksuit, carrying a megaphone, climbed onto the fountain platform on his own.

This quickly attracted the attention of passersby.

"What is he going to do?"

“Performance art?”

The crowd buzzed with discussion when the masked man in the gray tracksuit raised a megaphone and shouted, "I have clues about the Phantom Troupe!! Anyone interested can come find me!!!"

"I have clues about the Phantom Troupe!! Anyone interested can come find me!!!"

"I have clues about the Phantom Troupe!! Anyone interested can come find me!!!"

The masked man repeated the message loudly over and over again, drawing more and more passersby to stop and watch in astonishment.

"The Phantom Troupe? That A-level bounty hunter gang?"

"This……"

"Was he ever harmed by the Phantom Troupe?"

"Why is he shouting like that over and over again? Can't the loudspeaker record and play it back?"

"Wait, is this the important point?"

"Where's your phone? Quick, record a video!"

"Dressed up like that, you can't even tell if he's a man or a woman..."

A crowd of passersby quickly gathered in front of the fountain, watching the strange masked man standing on the fountain platform shouting through a megaphone: "I have clues about the Phantom Troupe!! Anyone who wants to know can come find me!!!"

Soon, things started to get even stranger.

“I have clues about the Phantom Troupe… Anyone who wants to know can come find me…” A similar loudspeaker announcement could be faintly heard from the street west of the fountain square.

Then there was the street to the east. "I have a clue about the Phantom Troupe..."

From the south, north, and four other directions, the announcements from loudspeakers gradually came: "...Anyone who wants to know can come find me!!!"

Many passersby stopped to watch the spectacle, and some even egged him on, shouting, "I want to know, so tell me!" But the masked man completely ignored them.

Some people are also contacting the police to maintain order...

Of course, many more people were using their phones to take photos and videos, or to joke around with each other.

Jingyang and Xiaodi were behind the crowd, their eyes fixed intently on the masked man shouting loudly through a megaphone on the fountain platform, seemingly having stirred up a big scandal.

"Did you notice anything?" Jingyang asked.

“Not yet…” Xiao Di said, “His aura is normal, just like an ordinary person’s. It’s hard to detect the rare aura mixed with Jing Yang’s mark… But right, where does the power used for healing come from?”

Jingyang and Xiaodi left and took a detour to the four streets in the vicinity, one by one, to observe the other four masked people who were being controlled by the star and were also broadcasting through loudspeakers.

Jing Yang observed with his "Condensation" and slowly said, "It shouldn't be entirely based on the carrier's own Qi. After all, the mark can help restore Qi when it's depleted. If the Qi used for healing is already exhausted, how can you use Qi to heal? Isn't that like stepping on your own foot?"

If I remember correctly, the wolf I controlled with my star symbol didn't die immediately after its head was severed. Instead, under the star symbol's power, the severed head slowly moved towards the broken neck, as if it could be reattached... The wolf was practically dead; there was no way it would have had the strength to heal. Or rather, the fact that its head could be reattached goes beyond the realm of "healing," doesn't it?

Let the star carrier return to a healthy state...

Jingyang recalled his guess and wondered if it really was the depletion of his life force.

But what is life force? According to the rules of the Hunter world, the essence of life force should also be qi.

Netero fought the Chimera Ant King, and his final attack, the Kannon Zero, exhausted all his energy, leaving him as a deflated, withered old man, like nothing but a skeleton...

Stars are draining your life force, that is, using your lifespan to recover from injuries?

Jingyang knew that lifespan was a real concept in the Hunter world. For example, Kurapika's special ability "Absolute Time" after entering Scarlet Eyes would burn off one hour of his lifespan for every second he maintained that state.

But Jingyang had a gut feeling that something was wrong. The stars shouldn't be consuming lifespan.

There's no other reason than that he himself doesn't like this approach.

Nen abilities reflect one's inner state. Even Nen abilities formed unconsciously cannot escape this basic framework.

Since this is one's own Nen ability, it will not produce effects that do not conform to one's own inner desires.

If Jingyang were to consciously and actively design the ability of the Star Mark, he certainly wouldn't choose such a ridiculous setting as burning his life to increase milk production... He's not like Kurapika, who died along with his clan a few years ago, and was just short of being buried in the ground with his clan's eyes. How could someone with a death wish be willing to give his ability, or even the effect that comes with it, such an unprofitable price?

"I have clues about the Phantom Troupe!! Anyone interested can come find me!!!"

The masked man in sportswear, controlled by the star icon, continued shouting through a megaphone as he was swept away by the crowd. A wisp of smoke rose from above his head and dissipated naturally…

……

Even after returning to the hotel and beginning his afternoon "Firmness" training, Jingyang's mind was still filled with the image of that wisp of air rising from the head of the person he controlled with his star.

"what?"

He suddenly opened his eyes. "Little Di, I have a question for you."

"Oh?" Little Drops sat cross-legged on the bed, holding her bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner in her hand. "What's the problem?"

Jingyang maintained his "firmness" without letting go; he had only been in "firmness" for less than half an hour and still seemed very relaxed.

"You said, where does the energy that naturally dissipates in ordinary people go?" Jingyang pondered.

Xiao Di looked surprised. "I've never thought about this before..."

Like her, Jingyang instinctively looked out the window at the sky. The street scene was still the same, the blue sky and white clouds were still the same, and even the outline of the nearly 1,000-meter-high Sky Arena was still visible in the distance; nothing had changed. But after thinking about this question, the scenery seemed to become somewhat different.

The world has an unknown number of billions of people, and over thousands or tens of thousands of years, countless trillions of lives have existed...

The vast majority of living beings are not Nen users and cannot control the flow of their own ki...

Where did all that lost energy go?

Has it merged into the sky?

It entered the air?

Jingyang looked at the bulging-eyed fish vacuum cleaner in Xiaodi's hand and said with a burst of imagination, "Since Nen users can materialize Aura into real matter, could the real matter in our lives be formed naturally over a long period of time through the evolution of these massive amounts of naturally flowing Aura?"

"The entire material world is formed from the continuous accumulation of energy emitted unconsciously by all living beings, which eventually undergoes a qualitative change and 'manifests'?"

Jing Yang's words would seem like a wild fantasy to anyone, and most importantly, they are unverifiable and just a wild idea.

Xiao Di asked curiously, "Why did Jing Yang suddenly make this connection?"

“Because I’m still thinking about the healing effect of the star…” he said, then paused, “Little Di, release the bindings on your body, don’t control the energy in your body, let it flow away naturally.”

"Okay, sure." Little Drop did as instructed.

In an instant, the aura around her, which had been as calm and uniform as flowing water, began to fluctuate, transforming into irregular shapes that seemed uncontrollable, just like those of an ordinary person. A wisp of aura also gradually dissipated above her head.

However, since Xiao Di did not deliberately make herself look like an ordinary person, although the aura around her had an irregular outline like an ordinary person, the size and thickness of the aura gave people the feeling that it was far beyond the level of an ordinary person, not to mention that the aura that naturally flowed from the top of her head was much thicker than that of an ordinary person.

Jingyang approached Xiaodi. He was currently in a state of "firmness," and even without deliberately using "focus," the effect of his eyes was not much different.

He carefully observed the air flowing from the top of Xiaodi's head.

Xiao Di leaned forward to make it easier for Jing Yang to see.

The smoke rose like a column of smoke above Xiao Di's head... Jing Yang leaned closer to observe, and at a height of half a meter, the tail end of Xiao Di's dissipating air appeared very... smooth?

The tail end of the airflow above an ordinary person's head appears blurry, dark, and with indistinct boundaries, making it difficult to understand how this air flows into the air, what it becomes after flowing into the air, and how it eventually dissipates.

However, the tip of the smoke that should have dissipated above Xiao Di's head had a very smooth "break". At first glance, it looks very similar to an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, it can be found that it is completely different.

The tiny droplets of gas didn't naturally dissipate into the air at all!

"But I can definitely feel the energy flowing out naturally?" Xiao Di said doubtfully, but soon, she and Jing Yang realized something. "Ah!" Xiao Di pulled down her waistband and pulled her pants down to reveal a rose gold star mark on her left thigh.

Jingyang studied it with her for a long time, but they couldn't find anything unusual about the star mark.

"Although the exact principle may be unclear, this is probably it," Jing Yang concluded. "The star can absorb the naturally flowing air as an energy source."

“But most of the time I use ‘entanglement’ to prevent it from slipping away,” Xiao Di said.

"You said it yourself, most of the time. There's always a chance to fleece you," Jingyang said with a smile. "I think the energy used for healing by the star has several priorities. The highest priority is the naturally dissipated energy that has already been intercepted and accumulated. The next priority is the remaining energy on the carrier's body. What if there's no energy left for the hair..."

“Then perhaps we’d choose to leave it hanging, allowing the carrier to recover to a certain extent on their own before activating the healing function.” Jing Yang looked around, raising his hand to gently brush the air. “Or, more simply, the star might be able to constantly draw upon any energy that might exist in the natural environment, energy that ordinary people have naturally dissipated but hasn’t completely disappeared…”

Holy crap, buddy, could you possibly have mastered some kind of superhuman mode?!
