Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

What truly surprised him was Kevin's upcoming opponent.

"Are you sure? That guy is dangerous. All the footage I've collected shows that he's extremely dangerous."

Mito said with a serious expression, his worry clearly visible on his face.

"Oh? Let's find it and take a look." Kevin immediately became interested.

Chapter Thirty-Five: Battle XIV Weapons

Sky Arena.

A two-hundred-story fighting arena.

The stands were packed, the audience thronging the stands like wolves in sheep's clothing.

"Cello's cruel art!"

"I wonder which unlucky newcomer will suffer this cruel torture again."

"Haha, isn't this great?"

"I spent a lot of money to buy this ticket just to see this."

Guan Yu shouted passionately, his face showing a hint of fervor and bloodlust.

They all seemed to be fans of one of the players who was about to take the stage.

Besides the regular students, several Nen users were also sitting on the platform.

On the competition field.

The tall, thin, scarred man in the grotesque bodysuit slowly walked out, the four weapons at his waist clanging together.

Chero stretched out his hand and pointed his sharp finger at Kevin across from him.

"Little sapling, I will 'prune' you until you are perfect!"

His voice was sharp and cloying, making people feel nauseous just listening to it.

Kevin stood opposite him, quietly gazing at his opponent.

On the stands.

A man mingling among the onlookers asked, "Master, is Kevin a match for him?"

From Yun Gu's perspective, the Nen aura emanating from the man named Chero was more intimidating; at least he felt that he was currently no match for him.

Bisky watched quietly.

They received the news when Kevin arrived at the 200th floor and rushed over immediately, only to find themselves right in time for Kevin's first battle.

"Unless the difference in strength between the two sides is extremely obvious, the outcome of the battle is not so easy to judge."

Biskey taught.

"However, the fact that Cero already possesses his own Nen ability and has so many fans indicates that he has experienced many battles here and accumulated a wealth of experience fighting against Nen users."

Looking back to when they parted ways four months ago, Kevin was just a newly graduated Nen user.

Although Kevin has his own talent, the combat experience between Nen users is not something that can be easily made up for.

Moreover, Kevin's original combat experience was not very extensive.

"However, he did not slack off at all; his spiritual energy and physical training exceeded my expectations."

Bisky couldn't help but praise her; after all, who wouldn't admire a student who is self-disciplined and hardworking?

On the field, the battle officially began.

At the command, both sides stood still and did not make any rash moves.

Kevin stared at the other person, recalling some information he had learned from the videotape last night.

The weapons Cerro used in battle were the four swords he wore at his waist.

These are not long-handled weapons; they are a serrated dagger, a steel needle, a meteor hammer, and a hook.

Four weapons hung at his waist, each with a thin thread connecting it to his belt at the end.

Analysis of the battle footage shows that he used these four weapons to throw and control them in every battle.

Moreover, once these four weapons are thrown, they are extremely easy to control, which is something that cannot be achieved with ordinary skills.

This must have been achieved through Nen ability.

The question is whether this is a realization system, an operational system, or a trait system with only a very small possibility?

If it's a materialization system, then these four weapons should be able to disappear and reappear at any time.

Hanging it openly on one's waist might be a way to mislead the enemy; it's a simple yet effective deception that can easily gain an advantage in an encounter.

It could also be the control system, which involves manipulating the machine and weapons.

If controlled by a human, these four weapons would be extremely flexible in their attack methods, like outstretched arms. Coating the weapons with poison might be a good way to gain an advantage, and this freakish guy obviously wouldn't mind doing so.

If they belong to the materialization category, then these four weapons will most likely have different functions.

However, in yesterday's recording, when facing newcomers or opponents with weaker Nen abilities, Cerro consistently used only one or two weapons: the meteor hammer and the dagger.

Since it was a video recording, Kevin couldn't be completely certain about the specific functions of the two weapons; he could only speculate based on the effects shown.

"Are you going to stand there motionless like a twig? Then I'll come over."

Chero laughed shrilly.

With that, he swiftly drew a short dagger from his waist and threw it at Kevin.

A flash of silver light, and a dagger with a thin line attached flew to Kevin in an instant.

Although the speed is fast, it is still within Kevin's tolerance range.

Faced with this attack, Kevin slightly turned his body, his left hand quickly reaching out to the side, precisely catching the thread of the dagger and wrapping it around his hand.

"Ok?"

On the stands, Yun Gu was quite surprised by this move and turned to look at Bisky next to him.

Bisky nodded: "His physical learning ability... has become stronger?"

The two were well aware of Kevin's learning ability. Dodging was normal for him, but being able to intercept the enemy's weapon after dodging was a skillful maneuver.

"Could it be that he has already developed his own Nen ability?" Bisky murmured to herself, considering this possibility.

Killua on the opposite stand couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Ugh, damn it, he's copying me again."

Aside from some basic combat experience, he didn't learn anything else.

That's not fair!

The battle continues.

Seeing that Kevin not only easily dodged but also intercepted his weapon, Chero was somewhat surprised.

Kevin gripped the weapon and pulled hard.

What incredible strength! Chero made a quick judgment, immediately grabbing the meteor hammer from his waist with his free hand and throwing it at Kevin.

Compared to the dagger, the meteor hammer was slower, but it carried a howling wind pressure as it slammed straight at Kevin.

At the same time, the dagger in Kevin's left hand also exerted a stronger pulling force, trying to restrain him in place.

"Your strength is too weak; you're utterly vulnerable."

Kevin flipped over to dodge the attack, and with a forceful tug, he pulled Cherrow so hard that he stumbled.

Just then, the dagger Kevin was holding vanished instantly.

“Conjuration type,” Kevin thought to himself.

The meteor hammer, after being swung over, created a ripple upon landing.

Kevin quickly crouched down to steady himself.

It seems that the meteor hammer attacks by releasing shockwaves.

Therefore, the dagger's characteristics are most likely as I previously guessed: it is extremely sharp.

So what are the characteristics of the other two weapons?

Taking advantage of the gap, Kevin suddenly stomped on the ground, and the powerful force created a small crater in the floor.

He charged toward Cerro like an arrow released from a bow.

As the strongest enhanced Nen user in terms of offensive capabilities, Kevin possesses both speed and strength in battle.

Seeing Kevin rushing towards him, Cherrow gripped the dagger that had reappeared in his right hand and stabbed at him.

Kevin easily dodged by tilting his head, then thrust his left hand forward, striking Cherrow precisely at his joint.

This skillful attack instantly numbed Cerro's left hand, and he almost dropped the dagger he was holding.

"Have you forgotten how to fight the strong by always bullying the weak?"

As Kevin spoke, he clenched his right fist and punched Cerro hard in the face.

Just then, Cerro finally gripped the short handle of the meteor hammer with his left hand and swung it from the side.

However, compared to Kevin's attack speed, Cerro's meteor hammer was clearly a beat slower.

However, when the meteor hammer strikes, even before it hits the target, the shockwave will already be there.

"I see." Kevin understood, but he felt that this level of power was nothing to fear!

Kevin forcefully passed through the shockwave, and although his body shifted slightly, his punch still landed heavily on Chero's shoulder.

The immense force sent Chero flying, tumbling through the air as he soared through the air.

Chapter Thirty-Six: Testing X Intelligence

Facing the battle below, Guan Xing, a strategist, wore a satisfied smile.

"Kevin's thinking was remarkably quick during battle; he absorbed the knowledge I taught him."

Compared to his less-than-stellar physical learning ability, his mind works quite quickly.

As she spoke, Bisky's gaze involuntarily fell on Yun Gu.

Feeling the pressure from that gaze, Yun Gu turned his head away and focused intently on the battle in the arena.

On the field, Kevin has already scored two points: one effective attack and one attack that brought his opponent down.

But he didn't stop his attack. After punching his opponent away, he immediately charged forward.

Facing the enemy who had landed on the ground and had not yet fully adjusted his posture, Kevin rushed forward and delivered a powerful punch.

"boom!"

The power of that punch was clearly felt by everyone in the audience.

The arena floor was blasted open, sending a cloud of dust flying and obscuring the view of the spectators.

"How is the situation?"

"Is Cerro dead?"

"With such power, even if he didn't die, he would definitely be knocked out."

"Has that cruel guy finally learned his lesson?!"

"Look over there!"

With a shout, amidst the stench of blood and the swirling smoke, a figure flew out diagonally.

The figure floated on the ground, strangely circling in a semi-circle before landing at the furthest point from Kevin.

As the smoke and dust gradually dissipated, Kevin stood there and shook his right hand, brushing off the smoke, dust, and pebbles that had settled on it.

The spot where he had attacked now had a crater the size of a person.

Kevin turned his head and saw that Cherrow had gotten up from the ground and adjusted his posture in the distance.

At this point, Cherrow's condition didn't look good. After taking a punch from Kevin, there was a very obvious red swelling on his shoulder, and the bone there must have been cracked.

Kevin did not launch a rash attack this time.
