Hunter x Hunter: From Obtaining the World to Beyond Heaven

For Diya, who was of vastly different strength, this was already a form of respect.

'It would be quite impolite not to respond at a time like this...'

'That old man is such a headache!'

Diya curled her lips into a smile, her fighting spirit and plans simultaneously brewing within her.

Seeing this, Netero narrowed his eyes, a hint of curiosity rising in his heart. Did this kid really have some hidden skills?

Adapting to Netero's momentum at an astonishing speed, Dia's body gradually tensed up, like a bowstring stretched to its limit, about to burst at any moment.

boom!

The training ground door was suddenly pushed open.

"Dia! Where is your [circle]? Why can't I see it from outside..."

Qi Duo stormed through the door, intending to reprimand the lazy students, but then she saw—

Dia, poised to strike, and... the president, seemingly ready to meet the challenge?!

Qiduo: ?

Why does this scene seem so familiar?

Qi Duo asked in confusion:

"President Netero? Dia? What are you doing?"

"It's a martial arts sparring match. That brat Dia is about to beat me up."

Netero instantly withdrew his imposing aura, spouting nonsense, but in his heart he was thinking:

It seems too late today…

Kido squinted, not believing the chairman's words at all. He figured it was probably just Chairman Netero being bored and grabbing someone to play games with.

It just so happens that Dia was captured.

"President, please stop bullying the newcomers. I know Dia's strength best; she has no ability to fight you at all."

With a sigh, Qiduo stepped forward and gestured for Dia to come over so she could check if he was injured.

Dia silently suppressed her fighting spirit and walked towards Qiduo.

Just as they passed the president, taking advantage of the moment when the president's gaze shifted to Qiduo, a golden phantom suddenly appeared and then disappeared...

Chapter 58 Interesting Boy × Absolute Mist

Ok?

Netero's eyes narrowed.

He felt a slight stinging sensation in his chin, but it disappeared in the next instant.

Most people would probably just think it's an illusion.

But Netero didn't think so. With his body that had been tempered by countless trials, there was no way that the stinging pain was an illusion!

In other words, did that kid launch an attack just a moment ago?

Although when Diya walked in front of her just now, she could indeed feel the other party's undisguised malicious intent to attack.

But until just now, he had not seen any indication that Dia had launched an attack.

【Heart Drop Boxing Listening】?

wrong……

No matter how strong a person is, as long as they launch an attack, you can see the signs, whether it's the flow of "qi," the aura of killing intent, or the exertion of all their muscles.

Especially at this distance, Netero was confident that no one in the world could escape his eyes.

But Dia did it.

Netero didn't detect any unusual flow of "qi" on his body, but the "entanglement" technique he had diligently practiced under Kido's guidance was still commendable.

Apart from……

Netero narrowed his eyes slightly. A thin, almost imperceptible white hair was lightly attached to the back of Dia's neck, as if it would drift away with a gust of wind.

"Dia, open your arms and let me see."

Kido didn't notice the subtle change in Netero's eyes, but instead directed Dia to make it easier for her to examine him.

Dia knew that even if he said he was fine, Qiduo wouldn't be at ease. After all, his opponent, Chairman Netero, was someone who could give Dia a real hard time if he took things a little seriously.

So, like passengers waiting for a body search on the subway, they obediently opened their arms.

Qi Duo's gaze sharpened, and she stepped forward. Her Qi surged and churned, and an invisible white light seemed to shine through from beyond the heavens, instantly sweeping over Diya.

"It's alright, I didn't get hurt, I was just a little nervous."

"President, please stop scaring him all the time. The association has been lacking fresh blood these past two years."

Qi Duo breathed a sigh of relief. She hadn't missed the overwhelming aura the president had when she first entered. She had thought that Dia had upset the president, but now it seemed that he was just trying to scare him.

"Little Qi, you've misunderstood me. I was the one who was really startled..."

Netero stroked his beard and said something meaningful, but the expression on his face greatly reduced the credibility of his words.

After saying that, Chairman Netero slowly picked up the robe from the ground, put it on, and walked out the door.

Seeing this, Dia said nonchalantly:

"President, you should shave..."

Nitero continued walking, and just as he was about to reach the door, a voice tinged with laughter rang out:

"What a cocky brat..."

After saying that, he strolled away from the underground training ground as if walking in a leisurely manner.

Qiduo looked at the door with suspicion, then stared intently at Dia, who looked completely nonchalant. She had no idea what kind of riddle the two of them were playing.

Unable to bear Qiduo's gaze any longer, Dia casually remarked:

"The president just asked me to guess how many hairs he had. I guessed zero, and then the president said I was wrong."

"So I told the chairman to go back and shave his beard, but he obviously didn't agree with my plan..."

Kido: ?

Although she didn't know what the kid was talking about in his sleep, Qi Duo figured that since the chairman was in charge, it couldn't be anything bad.

So she shook her head, ignoring those things, and instead, with a serious expression, said:

"Alright, you've had enough fun, go practice [Circle]!"

"Of course, we can't neglect the other projects either!"

"Yes~"

Diya gave a crooked salute in a funny way, like a primary school student being dragged back to do homework by his mother, and continued his cultivation with a heavy heart.

Chairman Netero, who had now reached the first floor of the Hunter Association building, felt that things were about to get interesting:

'Interesting kid…'

-----------------

Time flies, two months have passed, and the time to keep the appointment has arrived.

Kido hasn't been to the Hunter Association for three days in a row.

It seems like some trouble has gotten into her.

Diya was disheveled and had her eyes closed.

Since Qiduo wasn't there and no one was urging him, he became too lazy to take care of himself and preferred to spend that time on cultivation.

Now, except for eating and using the toilet, he almost never leaves the Hunter Association's underground training grounds.

As the appointed time drew closer, his anxiety grew stronger each day.

His days of solitary meditation, coupled with his incurable insomnia, meant he could only fall asleep every two or three days.

And now, he has been working without sleep for three days straight.

The Hunter Association's underground training grounds were now filled with a terrifying thick fog.

No matter how sharp one's eyesight, in this ever-accumulating thick fog, one cannot see the world more than a meter away.

At the heart of the dense fog, Dia sat cross-legged, with waves of mist constantly rising from his head, making the surrounding fog walls even thicker.

The thick walls of fog seemed to be turning into solid fog bricks. If someone suddenly broke in, they would probably be soaked in the thick fog before they could do anything.

Suddenly, Dia opened her tightly closed eyes wide!

【round】!

His aura surged and boiled, like a roaring beast struggling to break free of its iron chains.

But nothing happened; an invisible constraint firmly bound his circle to within five centimeters of his body—

A range that is almost nonexistent.

Keep in mind that even Killua, who never practices the "En" technique and is not good at releasing his aura (a Transmutation type), has an "En" that is 46 centimeters long!

That's enough!

After two months of continuous testing and development, and having people check the effect of fog on suppressing the circle, it finally reached its peak on this day.

Although he hasn't had anyone test it yet, Dia has a feeling that anyone who enters his mist at this moment will have their [circle] released suppressed!

This suppressive force is based on Dia's own "circle" as a reference; anything weaker than the range of his "circle" will be limited to less than five centimeters.

Those whose cultivation level of [Circle] is stronger than that of Diya will also be uniformly weakened to the point of being almost unusable.

Unless someone is willing to bear greater costs and forcibly open a larger area of ​​the [circle].

Nadia has no choice but to resort to a war of attrition, but...

'Trying to outlast me?'
