Two Realms: Hunters and Pirates

It already exudes an alluring aura even before it's fully grown; imagine how captivating it would be once it's matured...

"oh!!!"

Thinking of this, Hisoka couldn't help but slightly tiptoe, an abnormal blush appearing on his face, and a sinister groan escaping his lips.

hiss~~

Gasps of shock came from all around.

The other examinees who were originally located around Hisoka were already on high alert, so they naturally heard Hisoka's voice immediately.

Upon noticing Hisoka's eerie and malevolent appearance, the surrounding examinees did not hesitate at all, and hurriedly retreated, as if afraid of being tainted by something unclean.

Although I can't see them, I can vaguely sense some kind of aura surrounding these two people.

Hisoka's gaze was intense, not only without any attempt to conceal it, but it was also intensifying.

If it were an ordinary person, they would definitely back away from such a perverted gaze.

But it's placed here with Zane.

What a joke! As a master of killing a thousand men, what kind of perverts hasn't he seen on the chaotic sea?

Hisoka, aside from his strength, is just so-so among them.

Ignoring Hisoka's gaze, Zane carefully observed the other man and the faint aura emanating from Illumi.

Knowing the relevant information about Nian, he knew that the vague aura was most likely the Nian energy that the two of them had bound around them with the technique of 'Entanglement'.

It cannot be truly seen, yet it can be vaguely sensed.

This made Zain thoughtful.

To truly see Nen, one needs to open the pores of the eyes, and there is even a related technique called "condensation".

It's perfectly normal that he can't see or hear the Qi now.

Being able to feel it is already a good start.

At least he wasn't completely cut off from the world, which gave him hope of learning.

After observing for a while, Zane, Leorio, and the other two greeted each other and sat down on the pipe on one side of the tunnel, pondering how to open the seminal vesicles.

Aside from the rare individuals born with Nen abilities, there are two ways to awaken Nen.

The first method is to continuously practice and cultivate oneself, using methods such as meditation and seated meditation to feel the existence of mind energy, and then gradually learn it step by step.

The second method is forced Nen activation, which involves having other Nen users strike you with attacks infused with Nen energy, thereby forcibly opening your Nen pores.

Both methods have their own advantages and disadvantages.

The former is slower to take effect, but it is safer.

However, if one has poor aptitude, they may never be able to open their seminal vesicles in their entire life.

The latter is quick to take effect, but extremely dangerous.

Regardless of whether the attacker carries malicious intent in their energy, even if they don't, opening the vital orifice is only the first step.

If one cannot control the dissipated mental energy, then at best one will exhaust their strength, and at worst one may even die.

"My most important task right now is to determine whether I have the necessary pores, so the second method is the fastest way to verify it," Zain thought to himself.

So now, in this Hunter Exam, the suitable candidates, besides Illumi and Hisoka, are the examiners.

Based on the plot, if given a choice, Zain would definitely choose the examiner.

After all, neither Illumi nor Hisoka is normal.

"Here you go, these are your number plates!"

Zane's contemplation was brief. Just as he leaned against the pipe, the Bean Man, who was less than a meter tall and served as an assistant to Netero, the president of the Hunter Association, handed several number plates to Zane and his companions.

Leorio and the other two curiously accepted them.

Zain also glanced at the number he had received.

Because of his involvement, he had to arrive at the test venue a day earlier than in the original storyline, so his number plate also changed.

Zane's is 375, Leorio's is 376, Kurapika's is 377, and Gon's is 378.

"To avoid losing it, please make sure to wear your number tag on your chest."

"Oh, oh, oh..."

Upon hearing the Bean Man's instructions, Leorio and the other two responded instinctively, and without much thought, pinned their number tags to their chests.

Zain watched the Bean Man turn and leave after giving his instructions, then glanced down at the number plate in his hand.

"So it was a trap set from the very beginning."

Zane knew that the next test would be a battle for the number plates.

In other words, the fact that the Bean Man instructed the examinees to pin their number tags to their chests was actually an arrangement and intelligence deployment for the upcoming tests.

Zain weighed the number tag in his hand, chuckled, and then pinned it to his chest.

Although he knew what the subsequent tests would entail, it was not in his nature to hold back because of that.

"Hey, you guys are new here, right?" Suddenly, a friendly greeting came from the side.

The sound came from a pipe higher up, where a short, stout man with a somewhat sleazy appearance, resembling a middle-aged man, was sitting.

Zane glanced at it, then looked away.

It's just a beginner-friendly Dongba; no need to pay it much attention.

"Huh? You can actually tell?"

Nearby, Xiao Jie, who wasn't shy at all, naturally started chatting with Dongba when someone greeted him.

Although Leorio and Kurapika were much more alert than Gon, they didn't completely shut him off. They even tried to get some information about the area from Tonpa.

Dongba was very pleased to hear Xiao Jie speak to him.

Sure enough, this is a good newcomer, unlike the previous Nick (number 187) and Hanzo (number 294), who were much more difficult to deal with.

No, we also need to be careful that the other party is like that kid number 99 named Killua, who seems easy to talk to but is actually a little monster.

He was somewhat wary, but his face was full of friendly smiles.

Dongba leaped down from the pipe and landed in front of Xiao Jie.

As the plot unfolds, Dongba, a notorious rookie killer, approaches newcomers with the intention of toying with them.

By proactively explaining information to many test takers, Tonpa gradually gained the trust of Gon, Leorio, and even Kurapika.

"ah!!!"

Suddenly, just as Xiao Jie and his two companions were engrossed in listening, a scream rang out in the tunnel.

Looking in the direction of the sound, one of the candidates not far away was kneeling on the ground, screaming in terror.

The most bizarre thing was that the candidate's arms kept turning into blood-red flower petals and disappearing.

"Oh my god, how amazing! My hand turned into flower petals and disappeared. I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Be careful, if you bump into someone, you should apologize!"

Standing next to the wailing examinee was none other than Hisoka.

He casually shrugged and glanced around at the other examinees, then looked down at the kneeling, wailing examinee with a sinister smile.

hiss~~

Another gasp of shock rippled through the room.

Seeing this bizarre scene, the surrounding examinees all retreated in fear once again.

When Gon, Leorio, Kurapika, and Tonpa looked at Hisoka, they all instinctively felt a sense of danger and broke out in a cold sweat.

Zane stared, but his gaze didn't fall on Hisoka; instead, it moved upwards, fixed on the top of the tunnel above him.

There, a pair of severed arms appeared out of nowhere.

And it was as if it were glued to the top of the tunnel.

Love that can stretch and contract

[The illusion of lightness]

These are two seemingly simple Nen abilities that Hisoka wields with unparalleled skill.
