Hunter x Hunter: Infinite Growth

All sorts of bizarre creatures, seemingly only found in fantasy works, appeared one by one.

There are also giant birds that live in trees 1,700 meters high and are more than ten times the size of humans.

and many more!

A 1,700-meter-tall tree? What does that even mean?

Ah, forget it.

This is already another world; we should be used to it by now.

After reviewing the information, Kevin noted down a few things that interested him and couldn't help but exclaim, "This world is truly amazing! There are unknown territories beyond the open sea. Just how vast is this world?"

"Beyond the world?" Yun Gu unconsciously stroked his chin. Exploring the unknown world has always been the dream of many explorers.

Seeing the two young people making such a remark, Bisky, sitting behind them, had a thoughtful look in her eyes.

As expected, most hunters ultimately could not suppress their curiosity about the Dark Continent.

Chapter Forty: Departure and Parting

Ezhen Continent, a tropical region.

Nestled in the dense rainforest, a campsite stands. Various excavation equipment is neatly arranged, and a dozen archaeologists and scholars from various fields have gathered here.

The camp is surrounded by extensive excavation sites, where various relics are being protectively excavated. Next to it is a temporary factory building storing unearthed bridle-removing artifacts.

Inside one of the tents, Kim sat on a stool, answering a phone call.

"You've grown up pretty fast."

"It was indeed a bit unexpected."

"He met Kate? Hahaha, what a coincidence."

“Kate doesn’t know? Haha, that silly boy.”

"Okay, I understand. I'll find some time to come over in a while."

Just then, a loud shout came from outside the tent: "Jin, come quick! We've made a major discovery!"

"What! They're here! They're here!" Jin hurriedly got up and ran out.

On the other end of the phone, a burly man in military boots and camouflage uniform shook his head helplessly as he watched the call end. He looked into the distance and could see the towering Sky Arena reaching into the clouds.

……

Since Bisky arrived, Kevin has entered the second phase of training.

During this period, Kevin participated in two more competitions out of curiosity.

However, the gains he made from these two matches were far less than those from his first Nen battle.

The construction of Nen ability can even be described as a failure.

Bisky said, "Among the Nen users who stay above the 200th floor of the Sky Arena for a long time, there are not many who are truly strong."

Unless you're really interested in fighting your way up to the top and battling the level masters. And I guarantee that the vast majority of level masters simply don't care.

As for the other contestants, they are not worth mentioning at all.

Nen ability is the combination of ki and intention, that is, the fusion of body and will. When the will is no longer firm, the desire to improve fades, and the body is neglected to train, all these problems will quickly manifest in Nen ability.

Overall, Kevin's journey in the Sky Arena has come to an end.

"You should be well aware of your Nen ability. When training for other Nen types, you have to spend more time than others. Fortunately, you don't have to put too much effort into physical training and ki control."

Regarding physical exercise, given that Kevin contains digestive aids, it is best to exercise when the body can reabsorb the aids to maximize the effect.

As for the control of Qi, there is no need to worry too much about it. You can practice it casually while training each level.

What constrained Kevin's development was his potential and apparent magnanimity.

As a result, various targeted training sessions followed one after another. Yun Gu and Kevin also underwent these training sessions, such as throwing stones at each other and throwing Nen projectiles outwards.

But this training did not last long.

One month later, in the hotel.

Bisky crossed her arms and looked at Kevin and Yung-ku in front of her.

"You've trained very well during this period, and you'll officially graduate after this. But don't slack off. Adjust your training rhythm and methods according to your own habits and strive towards your respective goals."

After saying that, Bisky picked up her luggage and put on her sun hat.

"The treasure auction is about to begin. See you later, my disciples."

As soon as she finished speaking, Bisky ran out of the room amidst the bewildered looks of the two people. In the end, all they could see was a hand holding a cell phone sticking out of the doorway.

"Call me if you need anything! Bye!"

Kevin and Yun Gu were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Okay, where are you planning to go next?" Kevin asked, looking at Yun Gu.

Without much thought, Yun Gu said directly, "I have already joined the Heart Source School, and I will probably travel around to further improve my martial arts. If possible, I would like to take on a disciple."

“It really suits your style, but are you sure there’s no problem?” Kevin said, pointing to the hem of Yun Gu’s clothes.

"Ah, sorry." Yun Gu hurriedly tidied up her clothes, trying her best to look less sloppy.

"how about you?"

“Me?” Kevin pulled a notebook from his pocket and waved it. “These are all my targets. The hunter exam won’t start until early next year, which is more than two months away.”

During this time, I plan to improve my strength, collect more materials, and refine more potions.

After I got my hunter's license, I started going to places like secret realms, wilderness areas, and nature reserves to collect materials.

Kevin has a clear plan for his future. After all, the world is vast and boundless, and he still doesn't know where the world's boundaries are.

However, Kevin vaguely sensed that the higher-ups didn't want the public to pay too much attention to things outside the known world. And the hunters seemed to have a certain right to know.

It seems that everything will have to wait until I get my hunter's license.

Yun Gu nodded in agreement: "Indeed, obtaining a hunter's license is very necessary."

Having a hunter's license makes many things much easier.

"Then, see you next time."

"Okay, see you next time."

……

Kevin returned to his rented apartment. Just as he reached the door, his phone received a message.

"Kate?"

He had messaged Kate to let her know that he had reached the 200th floor, but he hadn't received a reply from Kate for a long time, and he was worried that something might have happened.

Looking at the message, Kate said that she hadn't replied before because her phone was damaged in the battle. Now that she's bought a new phone, and because she's discovered clues about her teacher, she's continuing to follow up.

I'm sorry I can't go to the venue with him, but I'll wait for him there and apologize to him in person.

"Why are you being so polite?" Kevin was both amused and exasperated.

"After winning a match on the 200th floor, Mitu said he was going back for a while. I hope he can bring me good news before the Hunter Exam."

It seems that Killua is the only familiar face left in the Sky Arena. However, Killua is here for a trial, and he has family members looking after him.

"I should say goodbye, after all, we're friends." Besides, I've learned a lot of combat skills from him.

Kevin quickly found Killua inside the arena.

"Want to spar again? What have you been up to lately? I've gotten a lot stronger!" Killua asked, running over with a smile.

"I've been training lately, and now I can send you flying with one punch." Actually, I could before.

"Ha! Stop bragging!" Killua immediately retorted, unconvinced.

Kevin grinned and squatted down, taking out a blue and white baseball cap from behind his back. The cap had a lightning bolt symbol in the middle. He put the cap on Killua's head and then vigorously rubbed his head.

"I'm about to leave, my friend. Consider this hat a parting gift from me."

"Are you leaving?" Killua's somewhat angry expression immediately changed as he looked up and asked.

"Yes, friends always have to part ways. But we will definitely meet again in the future, and I hope you can break my reputation as 'unmovable as a mountain' then."

Although a little sad, Killua still smiled and said, "Okay, next time we meet I'll definitely punch you away!"

"Haha, then I'll wait and see!"

After saying goodbye to Killua, Kevin couldn't help but mutter, "Why do I feel so cold?" He touched his neck in confusion.

Just then, my phone rang again in my pocket.

He took it out and saw that it was a message from someone he had almost never contacted before—Jin.

Chapter 41 Protected Area X Death

Ancient Ganyu Kingdom, Biscayne Forest Park, Special Species Reserve.

A camouflage jeep drove along the winding mountain road, and after several twists and turns, it arrived at a flat area on the hillside.

"Ah, it feels familiar."

After the car came to a stop, Kevin jumped out.

Just a dozen meters away, a simple campsite was set up.

A man with spiky hair was intently watching something inside the camp. When he noticed the movement of the vehicle, he slightly raised his head.

Seeing Kevin get out of the car, the man waved and said, "Oh! You've come."

Kevin waved back and turned to the man in the car, saying, "Thanks, Berger."

Berger, who was driving, nodded slightly.

He appeared to be a man of few words.

He then nodded to Jin through the car window in the distance before starting the car and driving away.

He was responsible for bringing Kevin here from outside the protected area.

After all, this is a national park, which includes multiple protected areas, especially this special species protected area, which is very difficult to enter without the relevant qualifications.

Anyone found trespassing will be treated as a "poacher".

Jin walked up to Kevin, looked him over, and then couldn't help but pat him on the shoulder. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Your growth in the past six months has exceeded my expectations."

Kevin traveled to this world in February 1994, and it is now October 3rd.

Before he knew it, he had been in this world for quite some time, spending most of his time training and studying, leading a very fulfilling life.

“This is all thanks to you; Bisky is a wonderful teacher,” Kevin replied with a smile.

He should indeed thank Kim. If Kim hadn't invited him, Bisky wouldn't have paid attention to him, much less come to guide his training.

"Haha, actually I'm not very familiar with her. I've only met her a few times at formal occasions. But she's quite famous in the association," Jin said with a smile.

After saying that, Jin's face suddenly lit up with great interest, like a child eager to show off: "Come, come, I'll take you to see something good."

With that, he led Kevin away from the camp and headed into the dense forest along the path they had taken before.

Both of them were Nen users, and the complex environment of the forest did not significantly affect their speed of movement.

Soon, they passed through the dense forest and arrived at the cave they had visited before.

"A familiar place."

However, when they arrived at the cave entrance this time, the two-headed wolves did not come to greet Jin as usual.

The two slowly walked into the cave.

The two-headed wolves were gathered together. The cubs that had been there earlier had grown considerably, and one of them even had horny bumps on its head. The cubs were whimpering.

Another female wolf lay nearby, quietly watching something.

As the two approached, Kevin saw that in the center of the pack, the large male wolf from before was now lying on the ground, barely alive.

The pointed horn on the left side of its head emitted a faint fluorescence, like the soft glow of the moon.

"Is it sick?" Kevin asked, clearly not a minor problem given its near-death state.
