Hunter x Hunter: The Zoldyck Family's Legendary Item Master

"It's time for you good-for-nothings to broaden your horizons."

"Oh ho ho ho."

So this is what it's like to see someone lose their composure. The Bean Man, standing behind Netero, pursed his lips and suddenly understood why the Chairman had so hurriedly turned and run away.

As he said, he didn't want the teacher in this case to see him lose his composure!

"Wow! My teacher in this case is amazing!"

My pneumonia has worsened, and I have a splitting headache. I've only managed two chapters, totaling a little over 5,000 words, today.

Including the two chapters I owed, this makes a total of three chapters.

Once I'm better, I'll find some time not to come online.

The author bows respectfully.

Chapter 71 The Changes of Shadow Clone X Maha's Surprise

"Thank you for your concern, Ms. Nanako. I was away for two days to take care of some things, and I will send the final draft to your email later."

"Please rest assured, there will be no shortage of Thursday's issues this week."

"Oh~ So you know you're a cartoonist~" On my first day home, I felt my grandfather's "deep" love.

Sean hung up the phone with Nanako Matsuki and glanced at Maha. The old man was rocking back and forth in his rocking chair, engrossed in a CEO romance novel. In his words, comics could no longer satisfy his boundless imagination, and he had to read some novels to quench his thirst.

Tsk~ As expected, there's no end to how perverted people can become.

Sean pursed his lips, and his unusual silence caught Maha's attention.

The old man peeked out from behind the novel with surprise, giving Sean a once-over. Something's not right with this brat. Could it be...?

"What did that bastard Netero say to you?"

"It's nothing, I just asked about the origins of a dessert."

"Shit!"

Why wouldn't the old man believe it? Maha sat up from the rocking chair: "Grandson, if you're being threatened, just say so. We're not afraid of him!"

"Did that bastard force you to join that damn Hunter Association?"

"You already know, why are you asking?" Sean feigned admiration and said, "President Netero is my idol. I would be more than happy to accept his requests than for some old geezer who freeloads off me all day long."

"You bastard, I knew he was up to no good!" Maha roared. "It's just the Heart Source Flow, your grandpa can teach you that too."

With a flash, Maha grabbed Sean's forearm: "Come on, with the old man here, we don't need him at all. Within two years, I guarantee you'll materialize the Mind Lake!"

"Getting impatient? Too late!" Sean sneered, reaching out to shove the old man aside. "You weren't there when I needed you, but now you're groveling when I don't." "Sorry, Grandpa, I've already learned how."

With a snap of his fingers, Sean chuckled and said, "Brothers, let's get to work."

"Pfft~ Pfft~ Pfft~" Sean came online on February 20th. As soon as he appeared in front of Maha, the old man narrowed his eyes and immediately noticed something was wrong.

The 19 shadow clones looked exactly like Sean, except they had feather marks on their faces and ribbons woven from a misty aura wrapped around their necks.

The instant they appeared, the "Sage's" notification sounded in Sean's mind—

[Host's mental transformation detected; Shadow Clone's training speed increased to half that of the main body]

Originally it was one-third, now it's one-half. With the added benefit of the "Wind" attribute, Sean estimates that a single shadow clone can now provide him with 4 attribute points per day, which is double what it used to be!

"Huh? Something's not quite right with this shadow clone of yours." Focusing his attention on the ribbon wrapped around the shadow clone's neck, the old man narrowed his eyes and reached out to grab it. The ribbon, intangible, passed straight through his palm, and then—

Mah's expression changed instantly!

"Soul Ribbon, you brat, you actually managed to materialize a lake of the heart?!"

Nen abilities are a reflection of one's mind and personality. Shadow clones are also a product of Sean's Nen abilities. Unlocking the "Wind" ability adds a feather mark to his face, naturally manifests the Heart Lake, and leaves something on the shadow clones. These things are the Heart Ribbons wrapped around the necks of the shadow clones!

"What are you yelling about?" Sean glanced sideways at Maha. Was the old man having a bout of dementia? His incredulous stare was really creepy.

He immediately curled his lip in disdain: "What's the big deal about this?"

"President Netero said that materializing the Mind Lake is as simple as having hands, but when will it happen? It's been two years for you?"

"I'm not trying to criticize you, Grandpa, but sometimes admitting you're not good enough is a kind of courage."

After waving to signal 2-20 to go out for exercise, Sean turned around, sat down next to the desk, and began drawing "Ninja Tune".

The old man just stared at him stiffly. When the moon was high in the sky and his shadow clones had finished grinding their attributes and returned, he was still a little dazed, lying blankly on the rocking chair, like a dried-out salted fish, lifeless.

[Reminder: Congratulations, host, for completing the daily "Ten Thousand Books of Pure Reflection" stat. Attribute value +76]

76 points a day, that's over 20,000 points a year. That means "I'll definitely break through the second limit within three years! Even—"

A glint of light flashed in Sean's eyes, and he quietly clenched his fist: "As I continue to unlock the progress of [Wind], my cultivation will become faster and faster. I might even surpass Dorsan and reach the triple limit-breaking state!"

With a secret sense of anticipation, Sean snapped his fingers, summoned his shadow clone, tossed the pen onto the desk, pushed back his chair, stood up, and yelled at Maha, "Time to eat, old man!"

Maha, looking at him with a weak smile, waved his hand dismissively: "Go eat by yourself."

Sean raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, gave him a strange look, but ignored him, assuming he was just having his usual bout of illness. He pushed open the door, casually left the room, and headed towards the dining room.

A gentle evening breeze rustled the curtains. Shortly after Sean left, Zeno, with his white hair flowing freely, appeared, hands behind his back.

"Sigh~ Now that this kid has decided on the 'Wind' ability, it's not easy to hide it from his senses~"

The former head of the Zoldyck family shook his head, glanced at Maha, and said, "Grandpa, you're not asleep, are you?"

"Skipping dinner can lead to stomach ulcers."

"You bastard, can't you wish me well for once?" A novel was thrown at him, and Maha glared at Geno: "I'll see when you see me again!"

"You wretch who fears Sun Quan like a tiger, are you afraid Sean will eat you?"

“Grandpa, you don’t understand.” Zeno reached out and grabbed the novel, saying casually, “It’s better not to meet than to meet.”

"Letting that brat Sean know that his elusive grandfather is around is better than you constantly bothering him, isn't it?"

"Besides," Zeno said leisurely, twirling his long beard, "the unknown and mysterious are also the most terrifying. I'm hoping to leave this kid with a powerful and imposing impression."

"Get the hell out of here!" Maha shoved a large punch into Zeno's buttocks, cursing, "Who do you think you are?"

"Do you know that brat manifested the Mind Lake in less than a day!"

"Trying to make an impression on Sean? You think you're worthy?"

Geno: "."

I didn't feel anything when I took a slap from Maha, but I was completely stunned by the absurd things the old man said!

What does it mean that the mind lake manifested in less than a day? "Grandpa, you're not kidding, are you?"

"Are you kidding me? Do I look like a joke to you?"

"Crackling and popping~" Chaos erupted at the Zoldyck family's house that day. It's said that little Killua was so worried about not seeing his grandfather for the next few days that he almost cried.

However, boys will eventually grow into men.

Two years later.

Chapter 72 Substitution Technique X Illumi, utterly fooled

"I killed my elder brother!"

With a single "snake-like" move, Sean's head was severed.

Killua looked at Illumi excitedly: "What you couldn't do, I did!"

Illumi stood on a large tree and said expressionlessly, "Is that so?"

With a "plop," Sean, whose body had been severed from his head, suddenly turned into a piece of wood and slammed it onto Killua's little head with a thud.

"Ouch!" The child cried out in pain, tears streaming down his face, and crouched down on the ground, clutching his head.

"'Substitution Technique,' using wood to replace the body, disrupting the opponent's mind. Sean is the most cunning. I told you, before facing him, you must first identify which one is his true form!" Unsurprisingly, Killua was tricked. Illumi coldly uttered these words, his cat-like eyes gleaming with a thin layer of Nen as he carefully surveyed the area.

With a flick of his wrist, he launched a psychic nail, which shot towards a large tree in the southwest corner: "Found you!"

"Thud~" The nail pierced through the tree trunk and entered Sean's body. Then, with a soft sound, another piece of wood fell to the ground.

Killua's head seemed to be less painful. Seeing this, he straightened up and snorted coldly, "Aren't you still the same as me?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chop to the head landed on his head: "Big brother, don't laugh at second brother. I just heard someone yelling that they wanted to kill me."

"Hey~ Killua, can you explain this to your big brother properly?" Two years have passed, and Sean's physique has grown rapidly, as if he had taken a rocket ride!

Although both were 13 years old, Sean was a head taller and twice as wide as Illumi. Standing before Killua, the white-haired brat looked up and felt as if a mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard to breathe. Forget about "explaining" anything.

"Whoosh~" Taking advantage of the moment when Sean was teaching Killua a lesson, Illumi threw another Nen nail, aiming for Sean's throat!

"If I didn't lie to you like this, would you be able to come out?" The expressionless, grumpy younger brother seized the opportunity, appearing as if nailed to the spot, and punched Sean in the stomach. He used a two-pronged attack, making it look like a game of fancy.

"Not bad, your body has broken through its limits, and your cultivation of the Four Great Elements has reached a certain level. It seems my foolish little brother~ You haven't wasted your time these past two years." Turning his head to dodge the Nen Nail, Sean struck Illumi with a punch, grinning as he did so.

They engaged in a fierce battle with Illumi.

Fast. Too fast. Killua, having taken a chop to the head from his older brother's version of Love, rubbed his throbbing forehead and stared wide-eyed at two beams of light, one green and one white, colliding, separating, colliding again, and separating again. The intensity was so great that he couldn't make out their faces at all; he could only tell them apart by their different training uniforms.

The one in green is Illumi, and the one in white is the eldest brother—Sean!

"Want some potato chips?" "Crunch~ Crunch~" Just as Killua was engrossed in watching the battle, a bag of potato chips was suddenly thrust in front of him.

The white-haired, smelly little brother recognized the voice. He turned his head and saw another Sean, munching on potato chips, standing beside him.

His eyes widened instantly, visibly stunned. "Two? Two...big brothers?"

"Could it be that the one fighting Illumi right now is... Big Brother's clone?"

"Bingo~" Sean chuckled, patting Killua's head and winking at him. "You only guessed half right. It wasn't two, it was a whole group!"

As soon as he finished speaking, to Killua's near-dumbfounded gaze, a group of Seans emerged from the forest.

They glanced at the battlefield and said in unison, "Stop messing around, Number 3. You're delaying training. If the main body finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

"Here it comes." Number 3 laughed, kicked Illumi away with his double-sized form, clapped his hands, took the potato chips handed to him by Number 2, grabbed a handful and threw them into his mouth, chewing them with a "crunch~ crunch~".

Then, together with numbers 2-20, they performed a beautiful backflip followed by a handstand walk, and rushed into the depths of the mountains and forests.

"Rumble!" The giant charged, the earth trembled, the trees shook and rustled. Illumi scrambled to his feet, expressionless, and brushed the leaves from his head. His dead fish eyes were filled with resentment and despair.

"Stop looking, just be yourself, Illumi." "Tap~ tap~" At this moment, a steady footstep came. Silva, with his white hair like a waterfall, came over at some point with his hands in his pockets. He watched the shadow clones leave and said to Illumi, "You've done very well these past two years. You broke through the limit at the age of 13 and are proficient in using the four elements. Dad is proud of you."
