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

In response, he could only hope that the reigning champion of the fighting tournament and the strongest player in the Sky Arena would give him a surprise.

Tomorrow is the day he will face off against this champion!

The night was as dark as ink.

The hotel suite features a magnificent, opulent living room.

"Are you ready?" Lynn looked at Kurapika, who was dressed in a plain training robe, and asked for a final check.

Kurapika nodded emphatically, his eyes revealing determination: "I'm ready!"

Ever since he learned about Nen abilities, he has longed for them.

Many nights, he imagined what kind of Nen ability he would develop after he truly came into contact with it, and how he should use this ability to take revenge on the spider!

Today, he can finally get what he wants.

"it is good."

Lynn nodded slightly, then wrapped Nen around his hand and patted Kurapika's chest.

Kurapika let out a muffled groan, feeling as if he had been struck by lightning. A strange sensation surged through his body, shattering some kind of shackles.

Although I can't see it, I always feel that there are wisps of energy drifting away from my body.

This is clearly the first challenge he faces: [Entanglement]

"Controlling them is a very simple matter." Lynn's calm voice echoed in Kurapika's ears.

It must be admitted that Kurapika's talent is truly astonishing.

He had barely finished speaking when Kurapika began to gather his Nen energy around his body, thus mastering one of the four fundamental techniques: [Entanglement].

Leorio, who was standing next to him, hesitated for a moment, then finally let out a heavy sigh.

Comparing yourself to others is truly infuriating.

“This is Nen.” Kurapika raised his hands, deep in thought, a rare look of excitement appearing on his face.

In just a short while, he felt that he had become much stronger and could beat several of his previous selves in one go.

The power brought by [thought] is indeed immense!

“Attack me.” Lynn took a step back, signaling Kurapika to attack.

Without saying a word, Kurapika threw a right straight punch, but Lynn simply turned around and the fist grazed past him. Then Lynn grabbed the fist and pulled it back.

Kurapika finally got the treatment he deserved from Leorio, falling flat on his backside... Lynn thought this might develop into a school culture, and as his school spreads and branches out, it might even cultivate the habit of the master "teaching" the apprentice a lesson once the apprentice starts using Nen.

At the same time, Kurapika also revealed a card, which was also a C+ grade [One-Tomoe Sharingan]. In this way, he now has four pairs of One-Tomoe Sharingan.

He arrived just in time; he was planning to give Kurapika a pair of Sharingan eyes.

The Sharingan is an item card; it only becomes an ability card after fusion. Therefore, it can be given to others to use. After careful consideration, he believes that he can give a pair to Kurapika.

First of all, Kurapika already possesses Scarlet Eyes and is the only known member of the Kurta clan in the world. If we were to say who in the world is most likely to develop the Sharingan, I believe that person would definitely be Kurapika!

He couldn't even imagine how high Kurapika, who was already exceptionally talented, could achieve in the future with the added advantage of the Scarlet Eyes and the upgradeable Sharingan.

With his high-level training, Kurapika has a chance to break through to A-rank and reach S-rank, at which point he can harvest another wave of cards.

Maybe in the future we'll see Kurapika piloting a Susanoo Gundam to fight the Phantom Troupe.

To take it a step further, he could use a [Standby Scarecrow] to fake his death in front of Kurapika, and who knows, Kurapika might get excited and unleash his Mangekyou Sharingan...

Strictly speaking, Kurapika, who has no relatives, probably already considers Leorio his closest people, and this situation could actually be true.

Chapter 145 The Shocked Biscuit! Two of the Seven Beauties!

Collecting his thoughts, Lynn conjured a card from his fingertips and handed it to Kurapika.

"This is a gift for you."

"A gift?" Kurapika was taken aback, then subconsciously thanked him and accepted the card.

After spending time together, he also learned that his master's Nen ability was like cards, with a wide variety of effects.

He saw that the image on the card was a pair of blood-red eyes, with words like "One-Tomoe Sharingan" written above it that he didn't quite understand.

"This is also one of my abilities. After you use it, these eyes will merge with your eyes, and it will give you powerful strength."

“This includes enhanced vision, mimicking others’ actions, and even using illusions,” Lynn said succinctly.

"Illusion?" Kurapika blinked and looked up.

The next moment, he suddenly felt dizzy and disoriented, but then returned to normal, as if it had just been an illusion.

Lynn continued, "This is one manifestation of illusion. As long as you make eye contact with someone in battle, these eyes can bring you great advantages."

Kurapika was astonished, never expecting that such a pair of eyes could do such a thing... In the ever-changing battle, this ability is extremely important.

Such a precious thing, yet his master gave it to him...

A warm feeling welled up in Kurapika's heart. He remained silent for a moment, then nodded solemnly and thanked him again: "Thank you, Master."

Having lost his family, he once again felt the warmth of family affection with his master Lynn and his senior brother Leorio.

In addition, there are Master's Nen beasts, Mr. Chopper, Gengar, Dragonair, Erina, etc., and they are all doing very well.

Although they've only known each other for two or three months, he has already completely integrated into this little family and become a part of it.

Following Lynn's instructions, Kurapika brought the card close to his eyes and infused it with Nen. He felt a cool sensation in his eyes, accompanied by a stinging pain, and slowly opened them a few breaths later.

Those were special eyes that burned like flames, yet had tomoe rotating within them... The Scarlet Eyes and the Sharingan had merged!

After experimentation, Kurapika's eyes now have three states: first, the normal black pupils; second, the scarlet eyes; and finally, the scarlet eyes when the Sharingan is activated, with both Sharingan and scarlet eyes coexisting.

Kurapika looked at the things that were clearer than before and couldn't help but marvel at them... As expected of the ability given to him by his master, it's truly amazing.

"Alright, it's time to determine your element." Lynn handed a piece of paper to Kurapika. "Hold the paper and activate your Nen."

It's still the [Paper Technique] that comes with the Chakra Refining Method.

Kurapika was very obedient. He held the piece of paper in his right hand and activated his Nen. After a few breaths, the paper suddenly burst into flames and quickly burned the entire piece of paper.

“This phenomenon doesn’t belong to the other five types, which means you are a Specialist,” Lynn said first, handing Kurapika a new piece of paper, and then added, “Try it again once your eyes return to normal.”

Kurapika nodded slightly and tried again as his master had instructed. This time, an eye pattern slowly appeared on the paper, crooked and distorted, like a child's drawing.

The appearance of special patterns is representative of the materialization system.

Then Lynn had Kurapika try activating only his Red Eyes without activating his Sharingan, but the result was still that the paper burned.

This shows that Kurapika still has two types: Conjuration type when his eyes are closed, and Specialization type when his Scarlet Eyes are activated.

The fusion of the Sharingan and the Scarlet Eyes is a Nen product dependent on the Scarlet Eyes, and it does not essentially belong to Kurapika, so there is no third phenomenon.

"So I can be both a Conjuration type and a Specialization type," Kurapika muttered to himself, clenching his hands in determination. He was determined to fully develop his talent!

"First of all, congratulations on becoming a Nen user. But the important part is yet to come. You need to think carefully before creating your own Nen ability. This is a lifelong matter, so don't rush it," Lynn repeatedly advised.

Kurapika has a very promising future.

Not only does he have a "gold medal master" to teach him step by step, but he also has all kinds of resources. He even has the Sharingan. It's like he's got a perfect start. As long as he doesn't waste his time, his future achievements are predictable.

Therefore, he cannot allow Kurapika to do anything that would harm his potential, as stipulated in the original work's constraints and vows.

"Yes, I will consider it carefully!" Kurapika assured him.

Leorio, standing nearby, was also happy for Kurapika.

He knew that Kurapika carried a deep hatred, and in order to prevent his junior brother from sinking into hatred, he had always taken good care of Kurapika. Now, seeing that Kurapika had a bright future, he only had blessings in his heart.

Besides, Master didn't show favoritism; he and Kurapika both received gifts, which shows how good Master is.

With comparison, the gap becomes apparent.

Although it's not a good idea to think that way, Leorio and Kurapika had also met Cloud Valley and knew that Killua and Gon were learning from Cloud Valley. In comparison, Cloud Valley was really far inferior to their master.

Of course, this is not to say that Yun Gu is bad. He has already met the standards that a normal master should have. It can only be said that Master Lin En is too strong. He is comparable to a complete group by himself and can do everything perfectly.

They are so lucky to be able to become disciples of a master.

Ding-dong-

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Leorio went to open the door, and what came into view was Bisgey, wearing a burgundy princess dress.

"Hehehe, didn't expect it to be me, Leorio." Bisgee flashed a peace sign with a smile.

"Bisge...pretty girl?" Leorio almost misspoke, but quickly corrected himself, winning Bisge's favor.

"Not bad, not bad. You're much better than my silly apprentice. He just doesn't know how to be flexible." Bisge sighed helplessly. They were both apprentices, so why was her apprentice's emotional intelligence so much lower than the other apprentice's?

Bisge then walked in and greeted Lynn, also noticing the appearance of yet another new handsome man, "Kurapika".

"Oh ho ho, who is this handsome guy?" Biskey appeared next to Lynn in a flash and nudged him with her elbow.

So fast!

Kurapika, who had never met Bisge before, was startled.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone as fast as his master... But this little girl looked so young, how could she be so strong?

“His name is Kurapika, my new apprentice,” Lynn explained.

"I see, it's Kurapika." Bisgei looked Kurapika up and down, paying particular attention to his Nen aura.

The weak and superficial nature of the mind indicates that one has just begun to practice mindfulness.

But this [Entanglement] technique is surprisingly skillful, unlike what someone who has just begun to develop their skills could achieve... This is probably another extremely rare raw stone!

Bisji's eyes lit up, but she quickly calmed down.

This is Lynn's apprentice.

Moreover, she could tell that the rough stone seemed to have already begun to be polished, and it had begun to show its extraordinary qualities.

"Who is this Bisgei?" Kurapika asked cautiously, a question that struck a chord with Bisgei.

Lynn glanced at Bisge, whose face was beaming with smiles, and said with a hint of helplessness, "She is Cloud Valley's master."

"Huh?" Kurapika's eyes widened as he looked at the girl in front of him who was only up to his waist. He really couldn't believe that Bissie was Cloud Valley's master.

Yun Gu is quite old, and his master must be at least fifty or sixty years old, right?

He couldn't see any characteristics in Bissie that suggested she was in her fifties or sixties; he would have believed it if she were Yung Valley's daughter.

"Don't worry about it too much, just call me that from now on." Bisge waved her hand, then looked at Lynn, "I heard you're challenging for the championship tomorrow?"

"Oh? You came here specifically to watch the game?" Lynn was slightly surprised.

Bisge is elusive and travels all over the world, but no one expected her to come all the way to the Sky Arena just to "cheer him on."

"Well, that's part of the reason," Bisge said, hands on her hips and a sly smile on her face. "Actually, I have a favor to ask, which is why I came to you."

She came to him seeking his help.

Bisge then briefly explained the whole story.

In the southwestern corner of the continent of Eurubian, there is a city called Sares, a famous tourist and adventure city.

The reason it's labeled "adventure" is because the super-sized tree known as the "World Tree" stands near Sares.

The World Tree is 1784 meters tall. Countless people attempt to climb to the top every day, but most fail to reach the 1000-meter mark. Even so, many people still try to take on the challenge.

The World Tree is the most distinctive feature of Sares. The second most distinctive feature is the Sares Ruins, a large ruin built on a mountainside. It is a dormant volcano.

The harmless outer perimeter is used as a tourist attraction, while the inner perimeter is filled with a large amount of death energy. It is known as the "graveyard" among Nen users, and its level of danger ranks among the top in the world's many ruins.

Recently, news has circulated that water glass, one of the "Seven Beauties of the World," has been discovered deep within the ruins.

Water glass is a type of vine that often grows on dormant volcanoes.

Because it absorbs a large amount of a sulfur-containing compound, it loses anthocyanins, making the entire plant transparent and giving it a mineral-like luster; its overall color is transparent.

Judging from the location, it does indeed meet the requirements for the appearance of water glass.

Therefore, this claim has a certain degree of credibility. In addition, there are rumors in the world that there is a lot of treasure deep in the Sares ruins, so many people have flocked to the Sares ruins in the past few days.

The value of the world's seven most beautiful women is immeasurable. Even a tiny bit, the size of a fingernail, would be enough for an ordinary person to enjoy wealth and luxury for several lifetimes. It is far more precious than a hunter's license.
