Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

To explore this further is a long and arduous task.

However, this unexpected discovery also made Kevin decide not to waste too much time below the 200th floor.

Of course, training with Killua had to be put on the agenda. He discovered that this kid was simply a treasure, with various power generation techniques far surpassing most of the martial artists in this arena.

“Then, just like we agreed before, I’ll be your sparring partner from now on,” Kevin said with a smile.

Killua rolled his eyes. Don't think he's easy to fool just because he's a child.

After this battle, he naturally realized that his attacks would be learned and absorbed by Kevin.

However, Killua didn't seem to care about this.

Having such a strong person as his "punching bag" is very beneficial to him.

Moreover, Kevin was a rare friend he had made, even though he was a slightly older "big friend." In fact, Killua would prefer to have a friend his own age.

……

Kevin returned home.

What should we do today?

Pharmaceutical manufacturing? Or physical training?

He could only choose one of these two things, because doing either one would consume a lot of his physical strength and mental energy.

Despite muttering to himself, he quickly walked into his materials room and began selecting various materials in bottles and jars, as well as those stored in specific temperature environments.

"We're running out of expensive materials again... Do we have to order another batch?"

Kevin sighed helplessly.

Each time he ordered materials, it cost a lot of money. Fortunately, he won the battle in the arena today and won tens of millions of dollars in bonus.

According to his plan, after participating in a few more competitions in a few days, he will directly reach the 200th floor, at which point he will accumulate hundreds of millions in wealth.

This money should be enough for him to get by for a while.

Since there aren't enough materials, the only option is to train them.

After finishing his workout, Kevin quickly washed up and went to bed to rest.

late at night.

A tall, slender figure stood on the rooftop not far from Kevin's residence. Bathed in moonlight, his long, straight black hair fluttered gently in the breeze.

With a few light leaps, the person silently arrived at Kevin's window. The entire process was completely silent.

He slowly pushed open the window, and the spiritual energy surrounding him suddenly expanded into a circle.

"Ok?"

The man suddenly gasped in surprise and quickly crossed his hands.

"boom!"

A loud bang shattered the tranquility of the night, and the tall, thin man was slammed away by a powerful force. Caught off guard by the sudden attack, he was sent flying onto the rooftop next to him.

After several collisions, he fell onto the road and even damaged a car.

Immediately afterwards, a burly figure descended from the sky like a shooting star.

"boom!"

Another loud bang.

The tall, thin man who fell to the ground reacted quickly, dodging the attack with a few nimble leaps.

Where he had been lying, a deep dent had appeared, as if he had been hit by a bomb, leaving a crater.

Kevin stood there, still wearing his thin pajamas. He slowly pulled his hand out of the pit.

"Who are you?"

He was resting peacefully on the bed when some uninvited guest inexplicably enveloped him with their spiritual energy.

As soon as someone else's Nen approached, Kevin's Nen fluctuated instantly, waking him from his sleep.

So he immediately sensed an intruder. Kevin wasn't sure if the intruder was well-intentioned or malicious, but in the dead of night, anyone trying to sneak into his room was considered an intruder.

Without a second thought, he threw a punch—a powerful blow that sent his opponent flying.

"Not going to talk, huh?" Seeing that the other party didn't respond, Kevin clenched his fists, ready to fight seriously.

"call out!"

A sharp whooshing sound rang out as several lollipop-shaped needles shot rapidly toward Kevin.

Kevin could clearly see the surging energy on the mind needle.

He suddenly dodged to the side.

However, these needles seemed to have eyes, and instead of following his dodge, they changed direction and continued to pursue him.

Seeing this, Kevin stopped dodging and landed on the ground. He gathered more Nen energy in his hands and quickly slapped the Nen needles away one by one.

It has a physical form, is not simply composed of thoughts, but encompasses thoughts and can control their precise turns...

"Operation Department."

Kevin instantly determined the nature of the enemy's Nen.

His face immediately showed extreme vigilance.

He was familiar with the Nen abilities of this system, which was one of the types he personally disliked the most.

The vast majority of Nen abilities that control or even force others to act originate from this category, just as its name suggests—"Manipulation."

Kevin was naturally extremely wary of this ability, which sounded disgusting and repulsive.

If you accidentally fall into their trap, you'll be in big trouble.

We must act swiftly!

Chapter Thirty-Three: Illumi X Battle

Illumi stared intently at the other person.

He came here tonight on his father's orders.

He could have chosen to come during the day and meet Kevin in a more peaceful manner.

This is probably what the elders in the family would like to see.

However, after seeing Kevin and Killua's "intimate" interaction, he felt inexplicably irritated.

So he ultimately chose to sneak in at night, a seemingly ill-intentioned way of meeting.

He had previously observed Kevin, although this was done incidentally while he was keeping an eye on Killua, but he was very confident in his observation skills.

In his view, although Kevin's physical fitness was not weak, it was still quite different from the physique that the Zoldyck family had trained from childhood.

If Kevin hadn't mastered Nen, he probably wouldn't have been able to defeat even Killua.

Since Kevin has been active below the 200th floor, his Nen is usually only maintained at the most basic "entanglement" state.

Although it mimics the appearance of an ordinary person, a closer look reveals that the energy has not dissipated.

Unless one engages in a face-to-face combat with Kevin like Kate did before, it's easy to be misled by his basic Nen maintenance.

Illumi really didn't expect that.

As soon as his circle enveloped Kevin, the other party immediately became alert.

【Yuan】When exploring someone’s popularity, it’s not unusual for the other party to notice, but the problem is that Kevin was fast asleep at the time.

Generally speaking, only people who have undergone special vigilance training can maintain such sharp reflexes while asleep.

This contradicts his previous observations.

What followed was even more unexpected.

Kevin's explosive and aggressive Nen abilities are completely at odds with his outward appearance.

While Illumi was silently contemplating...

Kevin's Nen energy suddenly erupted again, and a bottle of medicine even appeared in his hand, as if he was about to pour it into his mouth.

Seeing this sudden resurgence of Nen, Illumi made a decisive move.

"I surrender." His voice was calm and undisturbed as he slowly raised his hands.

Kevin was slightly taken aback. After taking the medicine, his Nen energy suddenly exploded, and he rushed towards Illumi at an even faster speed.

A large amount of Nen energy surged into his right fist, making the attack even more deadly.

"Only when you fall will I acknowledge that it was surrender."

Wow, that was fast.

Even faster than before.

Illumi, who had been trying to dodge, suddenly realized it was too late.

What kind of technique is this?

A sudden burst of extra energy beyond the apparent amount—is that Nen?

Or was it a deliberate attempt to hide it?

Left with no other choice, he could only gather his spiritual energy in his arms and forcefully withstand the heavy punch.

With a powerful sound, Illumi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into a shop's support pillar.

After being knocked back a meter or two, Illumi did not stay where he was. Instead, he quickly got up from the rubble and leaped onto the utility pole.

During the leap, he threw out several magic needles.

These Nen needles successfully stopped Kevin's next attack, forcing Kevin to stand still and gather his Nen energy to swat the attacks away.

This is no joke. Once you are hit by these needles, you may be controlled, and all the advantages you have worked so hard to build will vanish in an instant.

Illumi stood on the telephone pole, his back to the moon, looking down at his left arm, which was bent and swollen.

He had a broken bone, but he remained expressionless.

However, he did not intend to continue this fruitless battle.

That would be such a loss.

So he said directly, "I am Killua's older brother."

This time, Kevin really stopped, standing still and looking at his opponent with a wary posture, as well as at the extremely malicious Nen needle in the other's hand.

The techniques and the feeling the opponent gave off in the previous battle were indeed somewhat similar to Killua's.

They don't look alike at all, even their hair color is different.

"Since you're Killua's older brother, then why..."

Illumi replied in his emotionless voice, "I'm here to warn you not to teach Killua Nen. This is a warning from the Zoldyck family."

After saying that, he put away the extremely malicious magic needle in his hand.

Upon hearing this, Kevin began to believe it.

“Since it’s the Killua family’s request, I naturally won’t offend them without reason.” Kevin agreed, though he had never intended to teach Killua Nen.

Even though Killua seems to have the intention of learning indirectly.

But he's too young, only 6 years old.

Now that the misunderstanding has been cleared up, there is no need to continue the fight, and Kevin is not a person who is keen on fighting.

Staying vigilant created a greater distance between them.

However, he still said, "I hope you will give up the habit of loitering near other people's windows at night. I have plenty of free time during the day, and you are welcome to visit me as usual."

Kevin's words were a polite warning to the other party, and he then took out a bottle of medicine from his pouch and threw it over.

Based on a simple assessment, Illumi held the potion between two Nen needles and stared calmly at Kevin.

"Consider this compensation for your medical expenses."

Illumi's grip on the medicine tightened slightly; he rarely showed any emotional reaction to anyone other than his target.
