Hunter x Hunter: Card Master, the Strongest in the World

Seeing this, Lynn first told Shadow to find a place to hide and continue making puppets, to use him again if needed.

Once you become a permanent doll, you can no longer create them anytime, anywhere like temporary dolls, which has both advantages and disadvantages.

Watching the figure depart, Lynn also set off to return.

This trip was definitely worthwhile. Although he only explored it briefly, he could see that the clay dolls had great potential.

As expected of a Paramecia-type Devil Fruit, what's even more amazing is that it appears in this way, so he doesn't have to bear the cost of eating the Devil Fruit.

If Devil Fruits appear in the future, he can still eat them normally.

Soon Lynn saw Hisoka and Kurapika waiting for him. They both breathed a sigh of relief when they saw him.

Kurapika felt relaxed because his master was safe and sound.

Hisoka was relieved because his life was spared.

Although he knew that with Lynn's strength, nothing unexpected should happen, he was still worried that if something did go wrong, where would he find the antidote?

"Here's your payment. That's all for now." Lynn tossed a bottle of antidote to Hisoka.

The latter, as if he had found a treasure, immediately opened it, drank it, and then left... With the crisis averted, he should get on with his business.

Lynn also left with Kurapika, heading towards the Sky Arena.

His goal upon returning to the Sky Arena is to become the strongest tower master!

……

a few days later.

The entrance to the Sky Arena was packed with people.

Gon and Killua, who had already arrived at the Heaven's Arena to fight and were about to receive instruction from Cloud Valley, passed by and peered around. They quickly disappeared into the crowd, only to discover that the person being interviewed at the heart of the scene was none other than Lynn.

"Hello everyone, today we are interviewing Mr. Lynn, who quickly became the host a few months ago as a newcomer and was known as the 'strongest newcomer'!"

A pretty reporter stood next to Lynn, holding a microphone, and smiled at the camera next to her.

"Mr. Lynn has truly made a name for himself."

"His achievements are probably familiar to everyone. In just two months, he went from a newcomer to the owner of the 238th floor, breaking many records in the Sky Arena."

"In the last challenge against the landlord, Mr. Lynn defeated the original landlord of the 238th floor in just one round. To this day, no one knows his true strength!"

"And today, I heard that Mr. Lynn has something important to announce to everyone."

At this point, the reporter handed the microphone to Lynn, somewhat anticipating what he would say.

At this moment, the reporter was unaware that Lynn's words would generate unprecedented buzz!

In the crowd, Gon shook Killua's shoulder excitedly, "Killua, did you see that? That's Mr. Lynn."

"I never expected him to be the owner of the Sky Arena."

"I see, my eyes are still normal." Killua was speechless. He was indeed a little surprised that Lynn was the master of the tower, but then he thought it was normal, after all, his strength was extraordinary.

Chapter 143 Lynn is a fruit farmer! The power of public opinion!

Lynn remained expressionless as she listened to the reporter's interview.

After becoming the thread starter, he finally received the same treatment as everyone else, and had his own title: [Strongest Newcomer].

It would be even better if the words "newcomer" could be removed.

However, this title is not bad; at least he can accept it.

After taking the microphone, Lynn said, "Hello everyone, I'm Lynn."

"I am single-mindedly pursuing the highest realm of martial arts and yearn to fight against more strong opponents."

"Since some of the posters are not in the Sky Arena for a long time, it is difficult to have a match with them. Therefore, I am issuing a challenge to all posters with higher floors than me!"

Lynn had barely finished speaking when the reporter next to her seemed to freeze, unable to process what he was saying.

What...what did he just say?

"Of course, if you are afraid and unwilling to fight me, I can understand."

It wasn't until Lynn added the next sentence and handed the microphone back to the reporter that she realized what had just happened.

Lynn directly provoked the other posters during the live stream, forcing them to fight him.

As the highest-ranking members of the Sky Arena, none of the hosts are without pride in their status.

At the same time, the reputation of the landlord is a tool for them to make a steady stream of money, so they naturally can't stand anyone provoking them.

If someone doesn't want to agree to a fight, it makes it seem to the audience that they're afraid of Lynn.

You, a well-established and highly ranked thread owner, are actually afraid of a new thread owner?

If most of those forum hosts weren't secluded, focused on their cultivation, or too busy making money to engage in combat, he wouldn't have resorted to this drastic measure.

Because the Sky Arena requires both sides to agree to host the match.

Meanwhile, Lynn's speech also attracted many people watching the live stream.

It has to be said that many people come to challenge the Sky Arena, but Lynn is the first to put down such "ambitious words" so soon after becoming a host!

Suddenly, people had different opinions about Lynn.

Some people think that Lynn is just a boastful braggart who dares to challenge established forum hosts after getting the title of "strongest newcomer".

Some people think that Lynn is highly skilled and daring, and may have real talent. After all, his record speaks for itself. He even defeated the 238th floor boss in one move. To this day, no one knows where Lynn's limit is.

Lynn...is he planning to challenge the other forum owners?

The two children could hear obvious confidence in Lynn's speech. Since he said that, it was clear that he was very confident of breaking through the Sky Arena.

I wonder just how strong Lynn really is?

On the other side, Lynn left immediately after speaking, leaving the reporter who had been brainstorming in the middle of it all still standing there in a daze.

After some discussion, the higher-ups at Sky Arena tacitly approved of Lynn's actions!

After all, Lynn's words successfully attracted a lot of attention.

The vast majority of viewers expressed their desire to see Lynn and the landlord fight, and these ticket fees would amount to a considerable sum.

Over time, those posters gradually turned into money-grubbing individuals, and they would even refuse to play a simple exhibition match when asked to.

With Lynn putting pressure on them and generating buzz, it's all to their advantage as Sky Arena officials.

After all, Lynn is also the host, one of our own.

Lynn lost, which is normal and shows that the quality of the Sky Arena hosts is still good.

Lynn's victory is still a good thing, it shows that the Sky Arena's leaders are getting stronger and stronger, each generation surpassing the last!

So the official channels actively promoted Lynn's live stream, and the interview was played repeatedly in Sky Arena and other regions.

After a series of promotional efforts, Lynn was transformed in the public eye from a "rude and arrogant" madman into a master who was single-mindedly pursuing martial arts and unmoved by fame and fortune.

As time went by, public opinion continued to ferment.

Hotel suite, living room.

Today is the day we check on our apprentices' progress once a week.

"Watch me!"

Leorio unleashed his full power with [Refinement], bursting forth with bursts of Nen energy that created considerable shockwaves, captivating Kurapika who watched intently... Soon, he too would possess such power!

Thanks to Lynn's tutelage, Kurapika already has a good understanding of all aspects of Nen, except for the fact that he hasn't yet mastered it.

Even so, he still couldn't truly experience this ability until he had it in person.

No matter how many books you read, you still need to actually get hands-on experience.

Lynn surveyed Leorio's achievements and nodded slightly.

Leorio has now thoroughly mastered the four fundamental skills and learned the relatively simple advanced application technique, "Shu," and has become more proficient in his Nen abilities.

With the addition of extra skills learned, such as [Shave] and [Finger Gun], he is roughly at the B- level.

B-rank might not mean much to him, as he could easily eliminate them, but in the entire Nen user community, they are already considered top-tier. If Leorio works hard, he might even be able to secure the position of the leader.

"Attack me," Lynn signaled Leorio to attack first.

"Master, please have mercy!" Leorio said helplessly.

Leorio's attitude has changed rapidly, from "Master, be careful!" when he first started chanting to "Master, please have mercy!"

Before and when he started chanting, he only had a vague concept of his master's strength; he only knew that he was very strong.

But when he actually embarked on the path of "mindfulness," he realized that his master's skill was not just strong, it was incredibly strong.

He naturally couldn't bring himself to say something like, "Master, be careful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Leorio activated his portable operating room, a five-meter radius space that encompassed both him and Lynn.

Lynn's expression suddenly changed, because Leorio had vanished instantly. In just a moment, Leorio moved behind him and simultaneously stabbed at his waist with the [Zhou] Enhanced Scalpel.

This kid... can teleport now?

Lynn's lips curled slightly. He grabbed Leorio's outstretched right hand and threw him forward. Leorio fell hard on his butt.

"Hiss~ Master, you're too fast." Leorio pretended to fall and hurt himself, grimacing and gasping for breath, before rubbing his butt and getting up.

"Stop pretending. With your [Entanglement], you wouldn't feel any pain from a fall at all," Lynn said bluntly, continuing, "But you did give me a surprise today. I didn't expect you could teleport."

"Hehe, I've been waiting to give Master a surprise today." Leorio scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed.

Leorio's spatial teleportation is related to the weight of the object. At first, he could only teleport items weighing less than 20 kilograms, but now he can teleport items weighing as much as a person. In this way, he can achieve instantaneous teleportation and launch a surprise attack on the enemy.

However, this also requires a lot of Nen energy. With his current Nen energy, he can only teleport at close range, and the remaining Nen energy is only enough for a short period of combat.

On the other side, Kurapika was also greatly shocked by the abilities Leorio displayed.

The ability to teleport, something only found in storybooks, was being used by Leorio today, and he quickly realized how much of an advantage it was in the ever-changing battle.

If the enemy wasn't his master Lynn, but someone of similar or even weaker strength to Leorio, the outcome would probably have been decided in the very first encounter... That's the power of Nen!

A mysterious and alluring ability that allows you to know nothing about your opponent's abilities until you witness it firsthand, thus enabling you to exploit this information gap to defeat them or even achieve great victories with limited resources.

Strictly speaking, this was the second time Kurapika had witnessed a battle between Nen users.

The first time was during Lynn's battle with Mianying, but due to the vast difference in their strength and the fact that he was watching from a distance, he was unable to get a clear picture of the situation.

Leorio's Instant Transmission demonstration today has given him a lot of insights.

Seeing Leorio's obvious progress and Kurapika's inspiration, Lynn nodded almost imperceptibly, revealing a look of satisfaction.

If they continue to be trained like this, their future achievements will be at least A-level. Putting aside the cards for now, they can also do things for him.

The fruit grower's plan is going very smoothly!

Then, Lynn discovered that Leorio had just unlocked a new card.

【Name: Ghost Cry】

[Grade: B-]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Description: Trafalgar D. Water Law's sword, a demonic sword, is hard and durable. It is imbued with a trace of spatial energy, and its power is slightly enhanced when used in a special space, making it easier to cut through objects.]

It's not a high-grade weapon; it's a B-grade knife.

Law's "Oni-Ku" (Devil Cry), a fruit of the Op-Op Fruit, is not only hard and durable, but can also enhance its cutting power within a special space.

The discovery of this knife confirmed his two conjectures.

Each major stage of a person's growth presents an opportunity for a breakthrough in their abilities.

Previously, Leorio had never been in Nen mode before, but when he was in Nen mode, he went from having no rank to C-rank. After defeating him, I was lucky enough to get some cards.

Leorio has now been upgraded from C- to B- rank, and after defeating him, I successfully obtained another card.

The next time might be when Leorio is upgraded to A- rank. At that time, he won't be able to fight him casually anymore, because he plans to let Leorio take over the position of the twelve earthly branches in the future, giving him another chance to break the spell.
