Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth.

As its name suggests, it can easily hide in the dense forest with its fur, making it one of the most dangerous predators.

They are found in subtropical forests and wild areas, but are few in number and extremely scattered, making them difficult to find and posing a very high risk.

Faced with the charging tiger, Kevin dodged to the side and smoothly mounted the tiger's back.

"Today I'm going to do a Kevin tiger-fighting game."

As he spoke, he punched the tiger hard on the forehead.

Although the punch wasn't delivered with full force, it was still incredibly powerful, instantly knocking the tiger to the ground, causing it to roar and howl in pain.

"Wow, you're an 85 out of 100. I wasn't planning on hunting you down."

Kevin saw the name tag around the tiger's neck, reached out and took it off, then stuck it on himself.

The tiger struggled to bite Kevin, but Kevin grabbed its mouth, leaving it only able to whimper helplessly.

This tiger can only be classified as a powerful wild beast, not a magical beast.

Even without his Nen ability, Kevin's current physical abilities are enough to overwhelm his opponent.

"Since you've come to me, let me see if you have any suitable materials on you."

As he spoke, Kevin began to grope the tiger.

Based on his experience, he touched the tiger's forehead directly, where there was a spot that looked like it was inlaid with a stone.

Scientific research indicates that the visual effect produced by the magical fur of the Tibetan tiger is not simply due to the distribution of images; the stone on its forehead must also play a key role.

Sure enough, when Kevin's hand touched the stone on his forehead, a sense of surprise welled up inside him.

This is at least a decent Grade C material.

“Then I won’t stand on ceremony. Consider it payment for attacking me.” Kevin said, forcefully removing the stone from the tiger’s forehead. The tiger bled a little when the stone was removed, but was otherwise unharmed.

Research shows that in the future, it will re-extract the necessary substances from its forehead by preying on and gathering nutrients, as well as searching for useful minerals and medicinal herbs, to embed the same stone there.

Kevin's other hand was still groping the tiger's body, thinking that if there were any other usable materials, he would have no choice but to harden his heart and kill the tiger.

However, it was just a powerful beast after all, and the test was used to examinees on the island who did not yet have Nen abilities.

"It seems only the stone on your forehead has any value. You're lucky, you stupid tiger."

As Kevin spoke, he punched the tiger on the head again, making the tiger dizzy and disoriented.

Kevin got up and let go of the tiger's hand. The tiger immediately staggered away, and after creating some distance, it slowly backed away from Kevin until it disappeared from sight.

Kevin gazed in the direction the tiger had disappeared, then looked at the matte stone in his hand, stained with a little blood, and couldn't help but think that if all the wild animals on the island were like this tiger, hunting them would be much more difficult than hunting the examinees.

However, that's not necessarily true. Among so many hunter candidates, there must be one or two who specialize in hunting in the wild.

Such an examination venue is perfect for them; in some ways, hunting wild animals might even be easier than hunting examinees.

After Kevin added another scorecard to his deck, he completely lost interest in hunting and began to wander aimlessly through the forest.

Meanwhile, Gawain was also walking in the forest.

He also had four scorecards stuck to his body, and although there were signs of a battle, he didn't seem to be seriously injured.

Looking at the number plate with a score of 90 on his chest, Gao Wen couldn't help but recall the scene that happened on the ship.

That guy named Dongba is of terrible character and has no sense of honor or morality.

Whether he was betrayed, deceived, or framed, or simply because he loathed this guy, he was forced to engage in a "justice showdown" with Dongba.

At first, he was no match for the Dongba. Faced with the opponent's rich experience and skillful technique, he was arbitrarily toyed with and ravaged.

During the battle, Dongba continued to provoke him with words and actions, his words always precisely targeting his nerves.

Just as he was about to suffer a humiliating defeat, a surge of power suddenly welled up within him.

While upholding his chivalry and struggling to suppress his anger to launch an attack, he felt the energy flowing within him.

Although he was still unfamiliar with controlling this energy, this power had significantly improved his combat abilities.

With this sudden increase in power, the unsuspecting Dongba was knocked to the ground and unconscious.

They were eliminated in the second round.

However, ever since then, the faint, lingering energy within him has continued to trouble Gawain. He tried to control it and train himself to understand it, but he could never figure out what it was.

He had not received any training in this area; he had only vaguely heard of such legends and wondered if he possessed a different kind of power, like the legends suggested, and had control over the life force hidden within his body.

Until the exam began, he felt the same power emanating from the examiner, and the examiner displayed a power far greater than his own, which was made no attempt to conceal.

This made Gao Wen realize that the power he possessed was nothing special; he simply hadn't noticed it before, and it had always been hidden beneath the surface of his ordinary life.

Thinking of this, Gawain was filled with excitement. After all, he was still a young man with a dream of becoming a knight; how could he not be excited about such a mysterious and powerful force?

The number tag on his body made Gao Wen realize that perhaps it was because he possessed this power that his score surpassed that of most other candidates.

However, three people scored higher than him.

He remembered these three people, and logically, he deduced that they must also have mastered this power, and even better than he had.

Gao Wen was filled with curiosity and longed to learn from and exchange ideas with them.

But he can only have such an opportunity after he passes the exam.

Therefore, Gawain has been actively hunting.

He adhered to the principle of fair play in the duel, and after winning, he took the opponent's scoreboard.

Suddenly, faint lights flashed in the distant dense forest, quite clearly.

Gao Wen immediately understood that it was the flashing light of the number plate, which meant that there was a strong opponent ahead, as could be seen from the stacked flashing lights.

Gao Wen wanted to avoid it, but was worried about being discovered by the other party.

So he quickly stopped and hid behind a tree to peek out.

"It's that gentleman."

Gawain recognized Kevin at a glance, after all, they had met once on the ship and the other man had given him some advice, but he was too foolish at the time to understand it.

Moreover, Kevin's scoreboard with 100 points has always been of great interest to him.

Seemingly unaware of Gawain's presence, Kevin left directly from the other side.

Gao Wen pondered for a moment, then silently followed.

Kevin quickly realized that someone was following him.

It wasn't that his senses were particularly sharp; it was simply that the other party's tracking skills were so poor that the commotion made it seem as if they were openly following him.

After following for a while, Kevin couldn't help but speak up and remind him, "Even if you're going to follow someone, can't you at least keep your footsteps quiet? Your footsteps are as loud as an elephant's."

Upon hearing Kevin's complaint, Gawain, who was hiding behind the tree, was taken aback, not expecting to be discovered so quickly.

"So, you want to get the points off me?" Kevin asked, turning around, the number tag on his body reflecting a blinding light.

Gao Wen stepped out from behind the tree, slightly shielding his eyes from the sunlight reflected off the number plate, as the light was simply too dazzling.

No, I meant no offense.

"It's you. Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to make it to the third game." Kevin recognized Gawain as well.

Gao Wen nodded and said solemnly, "Thank you for your reminder on the ship, but I have failed to live up to your good intentions."

"What? Oh, you mean that? Don't worry about it, but I didn't expect you to be so rigid." Kevin was a little confused by the other person's words.

“I’m really sorry to follow you, but I do have something I’d like to ask you.” Gawain’s sincere attitude piqued Kevin’s curiosity about what he wanted to ask, though Kevin had probably already guessed.

Sure enough, Gao Wen continued, "I want to know, what exactly is that power within me? Your scores are higher than mine, so you should have this power too, right?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist and struck the tree stump next to him, instantly creating a dent in the stump.

Kevin gave Gawain a brief explanation, at least telling him what the power he was experiencing was, since Gawain had already awakened his Nen on his own.

"I see, the power of body and will, huh?" Gawain said thoughtfully, and judging from his radiant expression, he seemed to have accepted the explanation quite easily.

"Is this... the power of a knight?"

"What the hell is this, Knight's Power?" Kevin couldn't understand what Gawain was saying at all.

Finally, Gawain stared intently at Kevin, opening his mouth as if to say something, but Kevin interrupted him directly: "Wait, I think I know what you're trying to say, but I don't have the time or energy right now. However, I can point you in the right direction. All professional hunters possess this power; you should understand if you look at those examiners."

"As long as you pass the exam, there will naturally be a dedicated teacher to teach you the knowledge and experience in this area. This is a privilege of becoming a hunter."

After hearing this, Gao Wen shut his mouth and nodded: "Thank you for your explanation. I am very grateful. Thank you for your help."

"Alright, let's go. Don't forget we're still competitors."

"I will remember your great kindness." After saying this, Gao Wen left.

Watching Gawain's departing figure, Kevin wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Although Gawain wasn't very strong, his strange attitude and overly polite and serious conversation made Kevin somewhat overwhelmed.

"No wonder he can awaken Nen on his own. He seems to be someone with peculiar ideas," Kevin couldn't help but remark.

Having already earned enough points to secure a place in the top eight, and with everyone avoiding him, and having even hunted down an uncooperative beast and obtained its number, Kevin simply went straight to the dock, found a comfortable spot to rest, and quietly waited for the exam to end.

The last night passed, and dawn gradually broke. Less than four hours remained until the exam ended.

A figure emerged from the woods.

"Kate, you're here early." Sure enough, Kate was the first to arrive.
