The delicacies of the heavens begin with obtaining gem meat.

The yacht docked at the shore of Sabir Island, and Jiang Yan put away his fishing rod, preparing to disembark.

Kara, acting as a tour guide, appeared before the group of examinees.

"Sorry to keep you all waiting! We have arrived safely on Sabir Island!"

"Next, please disembark in the order you passed the third exam!"

"The next candidate may disembark two minutes after the previous candidate has landed on the island!"

"Your stay is one week! Please make sure you collect all six number plates within the deadline and then return to this ship!"

"Then, let's start with the first candidate!"

Hisoka, who came in first place in the third exam, was the first to disembark.

Two minutes later, Jiang Yan landed on the island.

After getting out of sight of everyone, Jiang Yan did not go any further. Instead, he found a tree that offered a clear view of the direction of the ship but was not easily spotted and climbed up it.

Boku's ranking isn't too low; he just needs to wait here for a short while.

Not long after, Jiang Yan saw Bao Ku'er's figure step off the ship.

Jiang Yan suppressed his aura and entered a state of absolute power, then walked towards the direction where Bao Ku'er was heading.

Pokkuru was completely unaware of this. After glancing warily at the surrounding jungle, he began to venture deeper into the forest, oblivious to the fact that someone was watching him.

When the two sides were about thirty meters apart.

Jiang Yan released the 'Absolute' technique, and his entire body transformed into a blur as he rushed towards Bao Ku'er.

"Who?!"

Almost the instant Jiang Yan charged in, Bao Ku'er keenly sensed the danger.

He turned around abruptly, and at the same time quickly drew an arrow from the quiver, nocked it on the bowstring, and shot it in the direction Jiang Yan was charging from!

The arrow pierced the air with a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight for Jiang Yan's face.

But Jiang Yan simply flipped his wrist and firmly grasped the shaft of the arrow.

The next second, Jiang Yan was already beside Bao Ku'er, raising his hand and precisely striking Bao Ku'er on the back of the neck.

With a muffled groan, Pokkuru's body slumped to the ground, and he fell into a coma.

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

"I'm doing this all for your own good."

"At least, if I don't pass the exam, I won't end up having my brain opened and being eaten."

Jiang Yan looked at the unconscious Bao Ku'er and said earnestly.

As he spoke, Jiang Yan had already found the number tag in Bao Ku'er's pocket.

"Six points secured."

Jiang Yan weighed the number plate in his palm, feeling quite pleased.

"Now, all we have to do is wait for the time to run out."

Jiang Yan then turned and walked towards the edge of the island.

Jiang Yan planned to use these few days to catch more fish and also research fish cooking methods.

So for the next week, Jiang Yan did not stay on the edge of the island.

Occasionally, some test takers were attracted by the aroma, but upon discovering that it was Jiang Yan, they all wisely retreated.

A week has passed quietly.

Guide Kara's voice, transmitted clearly through the loudspeaker, reached every corner of Sabir.

"Attention all candidates—"

"The fourth Hunter Exam has officially ended. All candidates, please return to the starting point as soon as possible."

"From now on, there will be a one-hour grace period. Anyone who fails to return within this time will be considered unqualified."

"Any form of number plate exchange after returning to the starting point is invalid and will result in immediate elimination upon discovery."

"Please pay close attention."

As the announcement ended, the qualified candidates began to walk towards the starting point.

Jiang Yan, who had been on the edge of the island, was naturally the first to arrive.

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

At the starting point, Kara waited there with paper and pen.

"Now, starting with the candidates who have already returned to the team, let's check their number tags."

The verification process was quick. Jiang Yan, Xisuo, Jitalaiku, Killua, Hanzo, and Baudelaire each showed their respective number plates and confirmed that they had all reached six points.

At the last moment, Gon, Kurapika, Leorio, and Pokkuru, who should have been eliminated, arrived just in time, and after confirmation, the four of them also had six points.

Jiang Yan looked at Bao Ku'er, his expression becoming somewhat subtle.

Unexpectedly, Pokkuru managed to accumulate six points with just one target number plate and three one-point number plates.

But the scores seem a bit off, don't they?

After a moment's thought, Jiang Yan realized the problem.

His appearance probably disrupted the original trajectory. Hanzo didn't pass the test by using three one-point number plates, but instead obtained the target number plate, which gave Boku a chance to pass.

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly.

So it seems that Pokkuru will inevitably have her brain opened in the future!

Should we remind you?

The thought had barely crossed his mind when Jiang Yan suppressed it.

He and Pokkuru weren't exactly close.

Moreover, even without Burkour, other hunters would still be lured there to their deaths.

Given that the matter of chimeric ants involves too many things, it's best not to create trouble for ourselves.

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

After confirming their eligibility, the group boarded a ship and returned to the vicinity of the Tower of Tricks, before boarding the Hunter Association's private airship.

Meanwhile, in the airship's lounge, the examiners of this Hunter Exam were having a meal together.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

Netero burst into laughter, his eyebrows twitching uncontrollably.

"Seven out of ten are beginners! This is a huge success!"

Such a grand occasion is quite rare.

Upon hearing this, Buhara couldn't help but look at Nitero with curiosity.

"President, has a similar situation occurred before?"

Netero stroked his beard, paused for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Yes, there are signs. If no new people pass the test for ten years, then a large number of promising young people will suddenly emerge."

"I have encountered this situation four times since I became the president."

At this moment, Netero's face was full of a gratified smile.

Many of the young people who emerged in the first three waves have now become excellent hunters, and this batch is sure to be no less impressive.

"On another note,"

Satsuma suddenly looked at Netero, his tone tinged with doubt.

"What exactly is the content of the final exam?"

According to past practice, the examiners should have been able to know the content of the assessment, but this time Netero did not reveal it at all.

"Yes, yes, they haven't told us yet."

Buhara quickly echoed, his eyes full of anticipation.

"What kind of exam is it exactly?"

"About this..."

Netero suddenly grinned, a sly glint in his eyes.

"I plan to have them have a special duel."

This was actually a spur-of-the-moment decision by Netero.

After all, this year's candidates are all very outstanding. If we follow the previous standards and only select one or two qualified candidates, it would be a great pity.

"A special duel?"

Satsuma paused, then became even more curious.

But then Netero kept everyone in suspense, saying mysteriously.

"First, I need to speak with each of those ten individuals individually..."
