My clone invades all realms

Luo Ya slowly walked to the center of the field.

Hanzo twisted his neck, making a cracking sound, and looked at Roya with a wary smile: "I didn't expect the first match to be with you. You're one of the opponents I least want to face."

His gaze was fixed on the three knives at Roya's waist.

He had witnessed the man's swordsmanship before.

During the first assessment, it was so fast that he couldn't even see the trajectory of the blade.

He had also witnessed the battle between Roya and Hisoka during the fourth trial.

Hanzo's skill in concealing his aura was even superior to Gon's, which is why Roya and Hisoka did not notice him at the time.

Roya's hand rested on the hilt of his sword: "It's not too late to surrender now."

Hanzo shrugged, flicked his right hand, and a sharp ninja sword slid out from the bandage on his wrist.

"I don't think so."

As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Ya's figure vanished from the spot.

In the next instant, he appeared behind Hanzo, slashing horizontally with his sword.

"Whoosh!"

As if he had eyes in the back of his head, Hanzo leaped up and dodged the fatal blow.

He did a somersault in the air and landed lightly a few meters away from Roya. Looking at Roya, who looked slightly surprised, he said, "You really like appearing behind other people, don't you?"

Roya's gaze turned serious as he re-examined the bald man before him, brandishing his longsword: "It seems I underestimated you."

Hanzo's smile remained unchanged: "I am honored to hear you say that. However, I have done some research on you. Your high-speed movement, although so fast that it is difficult for people to react, is essentially just a burst of speed in a straight line. As long as you anticipate it in advance and take precautions, you can dodge it."

Roya was indeed somewhat surprised.

His high-speed movement is a technique that combines the rhythm of "Dance Steps", the light and shadow techniques from "Sword Master's Insights", and some power generation tips he figured out on his own.

The effect is almost identical to the "Shave" move from the Six Styles of the Navy.

However, its drawback is equally fatal: it can only move in a straight line.

Now that our method of movement has been figured out, we have no choice but to confront them head-on.

"One-Sword Style: Waves!"

Roya exerted force with his feet, and his whole body shot out like an arrow released from a bow. The long sword in his hand swung out a series of dense blade lights, as if stirring up a surging wave, sweeping towards Hanzo.

Hanzo's expression immediately turned serious. Although he spoke casually, the strength that Roja had displayed did not allow him to underestimate him in the slightest.

With a flick of his wrist, he sent a smoke bomb crashing to his feet.

"Bang!"

Thick smoke exploded instantly.

However, the wave of light formed by the swords was still powerful, directly dispersing the smoke.

As the smoke cleared, Hanzo's figure appeared directly above Roya.

He hurled it through the air, and countless shuriken shot towards Roya from all directions.

"One-Sword Style - Azure Sea!"

Luo Ya's blade light split in an instant, the number of flashes of light exactly matching the number of swords in his hand.

"Jingle bells!"

The crisp metallic clanging sounds rang out in unison, and all the shuriken were knocked away.

But the sword in his hand was merely a feint.

The real killer move was Hanzo himself, who used his shuriken to distract the enemy.

Using the momentum of his fall, he channeled his entire weight into the ninja sword in his hand and slashed it down towards Roya's head.

Luo Ya reacted extremely quickly, slashing upwards with his sword to firmly block the attack.

"when!"

A loud bang.

Luo Ya stood still, motionless.

On the contrary, Hanzo was so shocked by the huge recoil that his arm went numb, and he lost his balance in the air, tumbling several times before finally kneeling on the ground to steady himself.

"He's a monster!" Hanzo stared at Roya with a grave expression, his heart filled with horror.

His original plan was to find an opportunity to engage in close combat and take advantage of his ninja skills, but the pure clash of power he just experienced told him that this idea was completely wrong.

Does it have no weaknesses?

"I've been underestimated." Hanzo crouched down slightly, his eyes sharpening.

He knew that the man in front of him possessed a fighting technique that allowed him to unleash greater power by altering his breathing patterns.

Up to now, Roya hasn't even used that.

This might be his only chance; he must decide the outcome before Roya goes all out.

Hanzo suddenly exerted force with his feet, transforming into a blur as he charged straight towards Roya.

From the bandaged cuff of his left hand, a chain shot out with a "whoosh," coiling around Roya like a venomous snake, attempting to restrict his movements.

Without even looking, Luo Ya swung his sword backhand.

With a flash of light, the chains were flung away by the immense force.

Roya gripped the hilt of the knife with both hands.

"One Blade Style·Tide!"

This time, the flashing blades were no longer waves, but transformed into a vast ocean, as if to completely engulf everything in front of it and sweep towards Hanzo.

Hanzo's expression changed drastically, and he threw out another smoke bomb without hesitation.

The surging blade light instantly engulfed the smoke completely.

Luo Ya turned his head and looked at the other side of the field.

Hanzo was standing some distance away, his hands on his knees, breathing heavily.

That brief escape clearly took a huge toll on his strength.

She felt Roya's gaze fall upon her.

Without the slightest hesitation, Hanzo decisively raised his hand and shouted, "I surrender!"

This man is someone he cannot defeat at his current stage.

If it were a life-or-death struggle, he might have some desperate measures, but under these rules that prohibit killing, he sees no hope of winning.

"Winner, Roja!" the staff member in the green suit announced loudly.

Luo Ya sheathed his sword and turned to walk to the sidelines.

He had no intention of continuing to watch the game; he looked directly at the staff member and asked, "May I go and rest now?"

The staff members turned their attention to Chairman Netero on the high platform.

Netero nodded and said, "Send him to my place. Perfect timing, after all the exams are over, I want to give him a good 'tutoring'."

"Tch." Roya curled his lip.

This old man claims to be teaching, but it's definitely not that easy.

At most, he won't be as crazy as Hisoka, and he won't actually lose his life.

"This way, please." The staff member immediately and respectfully led the way for Luo Ya.

Before leaving, Roya glanced at the remaining people on the field.

Although Killua and Gon couldn't participate in the assessment, they clearly wanted to stay and watch the excitement, their faces beaming with anticipation.

Hisoka watched Roa's departing figure, a strange light flickering in his eyes.

Illumi, disguised as a troll, lingered his gaze on Killua and Gon for a moment, his face, covered in nails, showing no emotion whatsoever.

The other candidates were visibly relieved that Luo Ya had left early.

After all, this man was recognized as one of the three most dangerous people in this hunter assessment.

Luo Ya followed the staff through a long corridor and was soon led to a room.

"Please come inside and rest." The staff member opened the door.

The room was completely empty, without any fancy decorations, not even a bed or a cabinet.

The only furnishing was a huge "Buddha" character written in calligraphy on the wall directly opposite the door, with two prayer cushions placed below it.

This place is less of a lounge and more of a training ground for meditation or spiritual practice.

Luo Ya didn't pay any attention, walked directly to a corner, sat down against the wall, and closed his eyes.

His consciousness sank into his mind, and he began to ponder matters concerning Nen abilities.

He needs to finish the delivery as soon as possible.
