Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

The conditions for winning are 10 points or a direct knockout of the opponent.

The scoring is determined by the referees present. There is no need to question the professionalism of these referees; they are absolutely among the world's best.

Many of the referees are themselves skilled fighters, and there have been almost no incidents of arbitrary scoring at Sky Arena.

A smug smile appeared on Killua's youthful face.

Kevin, standing in the stands amidst the cheering crowd, frowned.

"How come even a child is better than me? This world is really dangerous."

He was referring to combat techniques.

The battle continues in the arena.

However, the situation reversed from the beginning, with Killua taking the lead in the attack and Kojo forced to defend.

Killua's attacks, in particular, were exceptionally deadly every time.

The score quickly reached 8-2.

"This ancient city is stronger than our last opponent, right? How come Killua has gained an absolute advantage?"

"A fellow enthusiast next to Kevin asked."

The one who answered him was clearly a long-time Killua fan, who said with some pride, "You don't know this, do you? That kid is very strong. He improves in every battle. I personally watched him go from floor 1 to floor 140 in two months."

I thought he had a chance last time, but I don't know why he gave up after being hit a few times. Maybe he's too young and doesn't have enough stamina.

Kevin watched the battle on the field while listening to the conversations of the enthusiasts around him.

He had to admit that these fighting enthusiasts, who had spent a lot of time watching matches in the arena, did indeed have very sharp eyesight.

At least before he received training from Bisky, his eyesight wasn't necessarily better than these people's.

That's really impressive.

"That kid is so cruel. Every attack he makes is aimed at killing his opponent," a middle-aged man said with some dissatisfaction.

Next to him was clearly another Killua fan: "You're not from this country, are you?"

"What? Is there a problem?!" The middle-aged man frowned and asked unhappily.

This is the Republic of Mingbo, one of the five major powers. As residents of this country, it's natural to feel a sense of pride, which is understandable.

The fan waved his hand and laughed, "I didn't mean to be sarcastic, but this is the Sky Arena, where martial artists from all over the world gather."

If you stay a few more years, you'll find that there are quite a few of those terrifying children; you'll see one or two every few years.

"Humph!"

At that moment, a whistle blew on the field.

"The fatal score! The victor is Killua! The six-year-old 150th floor player!"

After the victory, Killua successfully advanced to floor 150.

The entire stands erupted in cheers like a tidal wave.

On the arena, Kojo had already collapsed to the ground, clutching his abdomen as blood flowed uncontrollably. A doctor who had been waiting nearby began to treat him.

Apart from his clothes being a little dusty, Killua looked almost unchanged.

He flashed a childlike, sunny smile and waved to the spectators in the stands, eliciting even more screams.

……

Kevin has already filled out the registration form.

He listened as the saleswoman next to him explained the rules of the Sky Arena.

The higher the floor, the more bonus you receive. After the 100th floor, you will also be provided with private accommodation rooms, which are of the standard of a star-rated hotel.

Each level is divided into ten floors. Floors one hundred and two hundred are considered watersheds. Battles above floor two hundred no longer offer rewards; they are more about honor.

Moreover, the rewards are extremely generous. After the 100th floor, the rewards reach the million level, and after the 150th floor, they rise to the tens of millions level.

The 190th floor was given an additional 200 million.

No wonder this place can attract so many martial artists; it's all about money.

"Do we need to start fighting now?"

"Is it available now?" Kevin asked, somewhat surprised.

The waiter nodded: "If you agree, the fight can be arranged now."

"Then let's make the arrangements."

Kevin was led to the arena almost immediately without having to wait.

As a newly registered player, the arena in front of me was obviously a relatively small one.

Interestingly, even in a single-story fighting arena, the spectators in the stands are all dressed in traditional Chinese attire.

While preparing, Kevin rested in the players' lounge, where he could watch the battle outside through the television screen in front of him.

He quickly understood why even the most basic competitions attracted so many viewers.

It turns out someone was opening a sale; this is actually the main source of revenue for Sky Arena.

Many people watch these early fights closely, identify the skilled fighters, and bet on them.

Kevin watched game after game.

These matches ended very quickly, either because the two sides were vastly different and the score was knocked out, or because it was a close contest between two weak opponents, quickly bringing the score to a maximum.

"Kevin, it's your turn."

Kevin got up and walked towards the arena.

As a lower-level arena where battles take place at any time, there are no dedicated commentators, only a few referees who take turns.

Kevin didn't see his opponent until he stepped onto the arena.

They seem to be around my age? They both look like they're in their teens.

That's right, this body is only in its early twenties, and is undoubtedly a top student.

"Another white-haired guy?" Kevin couldn't help but complain.

His opponent was a tall, thin young man, most notable for his long white hair and the newsboy cap he wore.

Could it be another family of assassins?

Although everyone in the world has a different hair color, white hair is relatively rare.

"Hello, my name is Kate," the opponent sent a friendly introduction.

It doesn't look like it.

However, Kevin did not relax; he remained vigilant with a furrowed brow.

"Yes, my name is Kevin."

What incredibly bad luck! The other person is a Nen user.

Of all the fighters he's met, he's only ever encountered a few Nen users, yet he had to face one in his very first match.

Could it be that Nen users are also attracted to each other?

Chapter Twenty: Kate X Battle

Kate observed the other side.

Using the newly learned word "凝" (Ning), he carefully observed the other person.

"An ordinary person." That's the judgment he made.

As the battle was about to begin, the opponent seemed somewhat wary, but did not adopt a fighting stance.

He doesn't seem to be a very skilled martial artist.

Then let's not waste time and finish him off in one blow.

"Start!"

The referee gave the order.

Kate charged straight at him.

A swift and powerful palm strike can send even the most skilled martial artist flying, resulting in an immediate knockout.

"boom!"

With their first encounter, Kate jumped back and returned to her original position.

He looked at Kevin in surprise and reached out to touch his stomach.

A whistle blew from the side: "Effective attack."

Kevin scored one point.

"Why does this guy only know how to use brute force? But his strength is indeed great." Kevin couldn't help but sigh. The other person looked thin, but the strength and explosiveness of his body far exceeded Kevin's without using breath.

After all, he had only been training for three months. Before that, he was just a lab technician with no strength in his limbs.

But that's not the kind of battle he wants.

He wanted a fight that employed various techniques and martial arts, not just brute force.

"Who can't just use brute force to throw straight punches?" He came here to fight, but he wanted more than just that.

“Hey, how long are you going to stand here?” Kevin reminded him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Kate charged forward again. This time, he wasn't as arrogant as before.

He arrived in front of Kevin at lightning speed, and just as he was about to launch his attack, he suddenly dodged to the side.

A hook punch came from the left.

The strike landed, but Kate didn't press her advantage. She jumped back and created distance between herself and Kevin.

Although the shot hit, Kevin remained motionless.

"Yes, that's how it should be."

Kevin smiled, quite satisfied, upon realizing he had been hit.

This is the kind of battle he wants. He doesn't use any techniques other than the most basic defense using his aura.

Let the fight be your body; use your body to remember and react.

Through repeated battles, even those with poor physical learning abilities will develop instinctive conditioned reflexes.

Kevin's need can only be met in a place like the Sky Arena, where he can fight against skilled martial artists anytime, anywhere.

This was also Bisky's goal.

In such battles, Kevin's body will also receive ample training and development, making up for his lack of physical training.

Because the defense of ki doesn't actually cause serious injury, but you will feel pain, it doesn't affect Kevin's learning and training of Nen abilities at other times.

It's full of benefits, a win!

With the score tied at 1-1, Kate didn't rush into a shot this time, but instead observed his opponent once again.

He was absolutely certain that he had hit the target, and with considerable force.

Even if a non-Nen user managed to withstand it, they shouldn't look as unharmed as they do now.

There is only one possible situation.

【凝】(Níng) means to use again.

He focused his energy on his eyes, concentrating intently. He watched as Kevin's naturally emanating energy gathered on his head, forming plumes of smoke that drifted upwards.

"It's an illusion. The opponent's Nen control is far superior to mine. This is an illusion created by manipulating ki."

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation.

This was not a life-or-death battle, just an ordinary competition.

However, the enemy maintains this deceptive ability throughout, meaning it is not directed at anyone in particular, but rather a result of the other party's own wary nature.

This was the first time he had encountered such a situation since he learned some techniques from Kim and started practicing.
