The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

Jiang Yan successfully completed the registration, but he did not relax.

This year's exam includes Hisoka and Illumi.

Even though his culinary talent makes him far more capable than ordinary people, he still lacks confidence when facing these two.

He probably can't even beat Killua now.

This made Jiang Yan think of 'Nian'. If he could master 'Nian', he wouldn't be completely helpless.

More importantly, Jiang Yan has some ideas about developing his own Nen ability.

Unfortunately, no useful information about Nen users can be found online.

However, to Jiang Yan's surprise, although he did not find any Nen users, Nen users came to him.

That day, Jiang Yan had just finished enjoying a meal at a high-end restaurant and was about to return to his hotel when a figure unexpectedly blocked his way.

"You're the guy who robbed most of the gangs in the city a few days ago, right? After all, your scent was present in those gangs."

The newcomer looked Jiang Yan up and down, his expression turning contemptuous.

"He looks like just a greenhorn. Those gangsters are really useless, utterly worthless."

Of course, this made no difference to him. Regardless of Jiang Yan's strength, the gang would definitely give him the money he was entitled to.

Jiang Yan looked at the newcomer. The man in front of him was thin with a protruding mouth and teeth like those of a shark.

Jiang Yan frowned slightly, feeling that the face looked vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember the other person's name for the time being.

"Who are you?"

The visitor was very dissatisfied with Jiang Yan's reaction, but considering that Jiang Yan didn't know him, he simply said...

"Listen up, I'm a sick dog of the Yin Beasts under the command of the Ten Old Men!"

..............................

"Sick dog?"

After muttering it to himself for a while, Jiang Yan finally remembered.

Isn't this the Shadow Beast that bit Uvogin and was then dealt with by Uvogin using the skull he spat out?

Thinking of the Yin Beast, Jiang Yan couldn't help but feel excited.

Just when he was worrying about how to find a Nen user to help him unlock his Nen, someone unexpectedly provided him with a helpful opportunity.

These gangsters are truly 'good guys' in the truest sense!

Of course, the sick dog would never kindly help him activate his "mind".

But Jiang Yan knew that if someone was hit by a Nen user's Nen and didn't die immediately, their Nen would be forcibly activated.

Whether one can gain control after forcibly activating "Nen" depends entirely on the individual.

If you can master "thought", you can survive; if you can't master "thought", you're basically doomed.

In the Sky Arena, this method is called "baptism" and is mainly for newcomers who have just reached the 200th floor.

In the later Chimera Ant incident, those ants also used this method to induce Nen users.

In Jiang Yan's view, he has a powerful physique enhanced by gourmet cells, coupled with a wealth of Nen knowledge stored in his mind. By forcibly activating Nen in this way, the success rate is almost 90% or higher.

The only thing to be wary of is getting bitten by the venomous teeth of the disease.

Seeing that Jiang Yan seemed a little distracted, a fierce glint flashed in the sick dog's eyes.

"Chance"

Immediately, the sick dog stomped its paws on the ground and pounced on Jiang Yan like an arrow. As it got close, it quickly opened its mouth and aimed at Jiang Yan's shoulder.

However, just as the sick dog was about to bite Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan's fist suddenly swung upwards, striking the sick dog's jaw with perfect accuracy.

With a soft "crack" followed by a muffled groan, the sick dog flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall at the end of the alley before sliding to the ground.

..............................

"Hey, don't rush over like that."

Jiang Yan withdrew his fist, looking at the sick dog lying on the ground with a dissatisfied expression, his tone full of helplessness.

It was too sudden just now. Although I didn't use my full strength, I still used about 70-80% of my power.

Fortunately, the sick dog, being a Nen user, was relatively resilient.

And it seems to have unexpectedly solved the problem of being bitten.

The sick dog shook its head and stood up, feeling a piercing pain in its jaw and its mouth filled with the taste of blood.

He reached out and touched it, and found that his jawbone had been broken by Jiang Yan's punch!

This infuriated the sick dog, because how could it bite people now that it was like this!

Rage instantly overwhelmed reason. Ignoring the excruciating pain, the sick dog charged at Jiang Yan again with bloodshot eyes.

Seeing this, Jiang Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief; at least they hadn't run away.

So Jiang Yan then began to passively take the beating.

One punch, two punches, three punches... After enduring more than a dozen heavy punches imbued with 'thought', Jiang Yan finally felt a warm energy suddenly awaken him, which then spread wildly outwards.

Become!

Jiang Yan's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he no longer held back.

With a swift movement, he dodged the sick dog's punch, then channeled all his strength into a punch that landed precisely on the dog's temple.

The latter didn't even utter a sound before passing out, his fate unknown.

Jiang Yan ignored the sick dog and sat cross-legged on the ground, closed his eyes, and began to guide the energy within his body, which was called "thought".

Imagine the thought surging from the Baihui acupoint on the top of your head, flowing over your right shoulder, down your feet, then gathering at your left shoulder, and returning to the top of your head...

As Jiang Yan tried, the originally spreading 'thought' was gradually bound around Jiang Yan.

..............................

Jiang Yan suddenly opened his eyes and looked at his hands. At this moment, he felt as if he was covered by an invisible transparent armor, warm and tough.

"Read it, all done!"

Jiang Yan clenched his fists, a barely suppressed smile of excitement spreading across his face.

He got up, dusted himself off, ignored the unconscious sick dog on the ground, and turned to leave quickly.

He didn't return to the original hotel, after all, given that he had already been exposed, who knew if there might be an ambush inside?

Jiang Yan found another relatively upscale hotel, booked a quiet suite, and immersed himself in the cultivation of 'Nian'.

For a full day and night, Jiang Yan gained a basic understanding of the "Entanglement" and "Practice" techniques of "Thought".

Jiang Yan then stopped practicing these basic applications.

Next, he has a crucial task to complete: developing his Nen ability.

Of course, before that, we need to determine the category of his "thought".

The "Nen" is divided into six major categories: Enhancement, Emission, Transmutation, Manipulation, Conjuration, and the most unique Trait category.

In the hexagonal distribution diagram of "Nen", developing Nen abilities of the same type can unleash 100% power, adjacent types can unleash 80%, separated types can only unleash 60%, and diagonal types can only unleash 40%.

Of course, the Specialist type is an exception; unless one is a Specialist by nature, one cannot develop Specialist abilities.

Determining one's Nen affiliation is not only related to the direction of subsequent training, but also directly affects the development of Nen abilities.

The method for determining the lineage is very simple—the water-based identification method.

Jiang Yan took out a bottle of mineral water, filled a glass, and then picked a bright green leaf from a potted plant on the windowsill and gently placed it on the water.

Next, place your hands on either side of the glass and begin to "recite".

A moment later, the water in the glass had decreased by half, and the originally plump and green leaves had visibly dried up and turned yellow.

"Specialization type, huh...?"

Jiang Yan looked at the changes in the cup, lost in thought.
