I'm extremely interested in Nen abilities.

“I ask you, although Zhen Yuanzi was pulled into the dream, was he directly or indirectly controlled? He just took a nap, and a part of his mind entered another dimension. He can stay awake in the dream and wake up at any time. After waking up, you Yun Gu and the others had peach petal marks on you, but Zhen Yuanzi and the others did not. That is the biggest difference.”

Little Drop raised her hand and asked, "So, the peach petal mark is a manipulation-type ability, right?"

“So, it’s possible it’s a cooperative Nen ability.” Bisky, dressed in adorable princess-style pajamas, flicked her nails on the other end of the phone. “The peach tree you described is probably responsible for the manipulation aspect. But what created this dream and pulled you into it is probably something else entirely…”

Consider this a second sick leave slip. *Knock knock knock*

Chapter 127 The soul leaves the body

Cooperative Nen abilities are Nen abilities that are completed through the cooperation of multiple Nen users.

For example, in the Greed Island arc of the manga, there were two such situations.

One is the "Bomb Demon".

"Bomb Demon" is a nickname shared by three Nen users, and it's also the keyword used to create their special bombs, "A Pinch of Gunpowder" and "Voice of Life." The three are responsible for the Conjuration, Emission, and Manipulation types, respectively. Among the three main active users is the bespectacled man, Gan Shu, who is the Conjuration type… It's not surprising that he would lose in close combat to the Enhancement type, Gen, who was willing to lose an arm to unleash a finishing move.

The other one, of course, is the "Greed Island" itself.

Greed Island is an island, but the entire game called "Greed Island," which covers the entire island, is a Nen ability developed by Ging Freecss and his 10 partners. There's reason to suspect that the 11 people involved in the game's development possess Nen abilities covering all six systems: Enhancement, Transmutation, Conjuration, Traits, Manipulation, Emission…

"If this 'dream' ability is cooperative, then it means that the one behind it all isn't necessarily Master Sky, or it could be more than just him?"

After ending his call with Bisky, Jingyang said thoughtfully.

Thinking of Greed Island, I can't help but think of the mountain I'm on right now, Fairy Water Mountain.

Could it be the same situation?

Kim and his friends built Greed Island, while Netero and his friends built this mountain?

"If it were Netero, he might actually be bored enough to pull off something like this..."

Jing Yang was well-informed (having read various entertainment works in his previous life), and knew very well that it was not surprising for an old guy like Netero, who was invincible in his youth and had been invincible for his entire life, to the point that he was so idle in his later years, to come up with all sorts of tricks... As long as he could find some fun for himself, he could even consider begging for food as playing around in life.

Yun Gu didn't know what Jing Yang was thinking. Before hanging up the phone, his master had suggested, "If the peach petal mark is still there after you go down the mountain, I will find someone to help you remove the negative thoughts." As for what might happen while he was on the mountain... Yun Gu wasn't a child anymore. He had already graduated and could act according to the situation.

"Well then, see you tomorrow." Jing Yang said goodbye to Xiao Di, and before leaving, he pointed to the black skeleton painting on the coffee table, "In the next few days, I suggest installing a surveillance camera or something in the room."

Video can capture the breath control.

In the manga, Cloud Valley was able to use Hisoka's match videotape to guide Gon and Killua to observe Hisoka's Nen ability "Bungee Gum" using "Gathering," which was thanks to this.

Hart said with distress, "Even if we take a picture, my senior brother and I might not be able to see it..."

Just like they couldn't see the peach petal mark above each other's heads.

If that black skeleton really reappears, Hart is also worried that he and his senior brother will also be unable to see each other.

It wasn't until Zhen Yuanzi and the other person left that Hart suddenly realized, "That's right, even if my senior brother and I can't see it, we can ask them to help us watch the videotape..."

"That's why it's best to form a team of multiple Nen users when facing complex situations," Yun Gu earnestly instructed. "For example, if your team has a Manipulation user, you can avoid many irreversible situations in advance... so you won't be killed by the enemy from the very beginning."

……

Back in his room, Jingyang heard a click as the door closed behind him, and then there was silence for a long time.

He turned around and saw Xiao Di looking at him thoughtfully.

"what happened?"

“I was thinking…” Xiaodi said, “about the exorcism thing that the person on the phone was talking about.”

She looked at Jingyang, her gaze slowly falling on his chest.

"Your heart problem should also be resolved through exorcism, right?"

"Perhaps," Jing Yang lay down on the sofa, "but that's a last resort. Look at the last few months, haven't I been doing quite well?"

Xiao Di walked towards him, "It's just because no one around here has died recently."

Jingyang patted her hand and laughed, "Don't worry, I value my life much more than you do. Have I ever told you that my ultimate goal is to live forever?"

Xiao Di asked curiously, "So Jing Yang wants to explore the Dark Continent?"

"Yep."

"But you also said that the Dark Continent itself is the most dangerous place, full of unpredictable calamities..."

In order to achieve immortality, and out of a desire to preserve life, one would venture into treacherous places where death is most likely to be lost—this seems inherently contradictory.

"High risk brings high reward. But before that, we need to make sure we survive!"

"Live to 28?" Xiao Di asked curiously.

“You still remember!” Jingyang smiled.

This is something I once confessed to Xiao Di: if my body grows excessively to around 28 years old and the problems with my heart and death energy are still bothering me, I will definitely do everything I can to eradicate them.

And the last resort he envisioned when all other options were exhausted was, of course, Alluka = ​​Zoldyck, the human wish-granting machine from the assassin family.

Even the dying thoughts of "Darkened Uncle Gon" could be completely wiped away by Alluka's little hand, giving the dying Gon a new life...

Solving this minor heart problem is a piece of cake for the all-powerful Alluka.

Of course, the premise is that I can get Alluka to come when the time comes.

The best way to "make a wish" to Alluka is, of course, through Killua.

The best way to follow Killua's path is through Gon.

With less than four years until the manga's official start, Alluka has the advantage of being in the lead and can accumulate strength. She can figure out how to build a relationship with Gon and Killua, or if all else fails, she can use the two kids' innocent personalities or other means. As long as Alluka is still around, there will always be a way.

Isn't Xiao Jie looking for his father?

He could easily remove the Nen needle from Killua's forehead, and Killua would then remember that he had an all-powerful "Wishing Princess" at home. Could Killua resist helping his best friend?

Alluka's existence is precisely the reason why Jingyang, despite his heart problem, isn't overly worried.

Looking at it from another angle, if four years later, he has neither been able to solve his heart problem nor manage to get Gon and Killua to make a wish to Alluka, then he would be a complete failure. And as such a failed Nen user, what else can he say if he can't solve his heart problem? He should just accept his fate.

"besides……"

Jingyang took off Xiaodi's glasses and looked into her pale purple eyes. "I'm worried that if I remove a certain thought related to death energy that might exist in my heart, my body might instantly revert to its original, more childlike state. This is..." He paused, then shook his head repeatedly. "This is not good, very bad."

Little Drop asked in confusion, "Why not?"

If that's the case, then Jingyang's lost "lifespan" due to the accelerated maturation of his body can be made up for, right?

Jingyang said, "I think it would be better if we looked to be around your age."

Xiao Di lowered her eyes, then quickly looked them up again, and said calmly, "Let's find Nitromomi together."

Jingyang couldn't help but reach out and pinch her cheek, laughing, "We were going to look for it together anyway, Doraemon."

"Ah."

Xiao Di curled up on the sofa and hugged Jing Yang, thinking that she could use the bulging-eyed fish to collect all the Nitromi she found.

She suddenly had a feeling that perhaps her abilities existed for this day, for Jingyang's dream.

……

The next day, morning.

The doorbell rang. Jingyang and Xiaodi opened their eyes at the same time.

"Jiji?"

The rock sparrow, who was sleeping nestled in the living room ceiling light, started moving on its own, looking at itself with a head full of question marks as it uncontrollably flew towards the access control.

Duh!

The bird deftly pecked at the access control phone and discovered that it was a waiter outside.

In the bedroom, Xiao Di, who was resting her head on Jing Yang's arm, clearly felt Jing Yang's arm muscles tighten, and couldn't help but turn her head to look at him in confusion.

Through Yan Que's first-person perspective, Jing Yang saw on the access control phone screen that the waiter outside actually had the head of a gray-scaled snake!

After blinking, Jingyang got up and walked barefoot out of the bedroom.

With his current physique, his arm wouldn't feel anything even if it were pressed down by an ordinary human head all night, or even by a piece of metal of the same volume all night.

If Jingyang wanted, he could maintain the "entanglement" 24 hours a day.

He flung the door open.

The waiter outside the room politely said, "...Mr. Zhen Yuanzi, please come to the lobby on the first floor of the hotel at 8:00 a.m. The first session of the Xianshui Mountain Conference is about to begin."

Upon noticing Jingyang scrutinizing him, the waiter merely smiled slightly without revealing anything amiss. Seeing that Zhen Yuanzi had not given any instructions, he added, "Please tell Ms. Xiaodi," before politely stepping aside and walking away.

With a flutter, the little gray bird hopped onto Jingyang's shoulder, its claws gripping his firm muscles like iron hooks.

"Is there something wrong with your eyes, or am I hallucinating this morning?"

Jingyang caught the little gray bird, petting it as he walked back, and saw Xiaodi walking out of the bedroom with messy strands of hair sticking up on her head.

Looking at the clock on the wall, Jingyang said, "Get dressed and have some breakfast. This conference is starting in an hour."

"Oh." Little Drop went back to her bedroom barefoot.

……

After having a simple breakfast together, at 7:50 a.m., Jingyang and Xiaodi arrived at the hotel lobby on the first floor and ran into Yun Gu and Hart on the way.

Hart looked unwell, sporting dark circles under his eyes. Upon asking, it turned out the kid had spent the entire night worrying that the black skeleton Jing Yang had drawn might sneak into his room in the middle of the night and secretly drain his life essence… Jing Yang found it increasingly strange; he was angry, but couldn't he at least avoid mentioning life essence? It sounded so infuriating!

"Why would I absorb you when I have Yun Gu to absorb?" Jing Yang comforted him. "Don't worry, he definitely won't look at you before he drains your senior brother dry."

"That's true!" Hart breathed a sigh of relief, feeling instantly lighter.

Yun Gu felt ashamed. He was comforted, but what about me?

More than thirty martial artists from different schools gathered in the hotel lobby.

These people were all seasoned martial arts practitioners, full of energy and accustomed to early morning training. They were all in high spirits, chatting and laughing with each other... Jingyang and the others listened casually, and sure enough, no one mentioned the bizarre dream that had pulled everyone on the mountaintop into it last night, nor did anyone mention the black skeleton. Everyone was guessing what the competition would be today. No one wanted to lose to the highly respected Master Sky, and they were all eager to try.

Many of them glanced at Jingyang, Yunggu, and the others, seemingly unintentionally.

After yesterday's ascension to immortality, everyone has already gained a general understanding of each other's strength levels.

Without a doubt, Yun Gu from the Heart Source School, Zhen Yuanzi and Xiao Shi from the Sky Arena, and that genius fighter Zhe Hao are the best in this Sensui Mountain Tournament.

Jingyang then looked at Zhehao, who was rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
