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

He possesses superb negotiation skills and the ability to manipulate people. He once said, "I only feel happy when I am hated by others."

As Pariston watched television, he recalled the information he had found about Lynn, and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is someone who deserves a lot of attention.

With immense strength, top-tier exorcism abilities, and a variety of unique Nen beasts, Lynn has even sparred with the guild master and received a very positive evaluation... all these achievements combined in one person are enough to demonstrate just how formidable he is.

It would probably be very dangerous to provoke someone like that.

……

In a desert city, a gentle breeze carries grains of sand.

A man stood outside a store, watching the battle being broadcast on television through the shop window.

He was dressed in a greyish-white robe and had a dark scarf around his neck.

What's most striking is his hair, which he tied up with a towel, with a few strands peeking out, making it look messy.

He has a handsome face, but he doesn't like to take care of it, resulting in a fine stubble around his face, but his eyes are bright and piercing!

If it weren't for the fact that his clothes were quite clean, he would most likely be mistaken for a homeless person.

It is the Pig (亥) of the Twelve Earthly Branches, and one of the world's five greatest Nen users—Gold!

Seeing that the match, which was touted as the "final battle," had ended, Jin took out a fresh apple from his pocket, took a big bite out of it, and left a clear tooth mark on it.

Recalling the match he had just watched, Kim couldn't help but smile.

"Lynn... I really want to meet him in person, since I'll need his help later."

Chapter 148 Flying Thunder God! Pot of Greed! The Strongest Lynn!

"This is truly unexpected!"

"Lynn actually knocked Bridges out of the ring!"

A moment later, the host finally recovered and exclaimed in a shocked tone, "Bridges is no longer able to get up!"

"The winner of this final battle has emerged, and he is none other than—the strongest, Lynn!"

The host subconsciously omitted the word "newcomer" because at this moment, Lynn was already the strongest landlord.

The title "strongest newcomer" is clearly inappropriate; the word "strongest" is more fitting for Lynn now.

Countless viewers and fans felt this was very appropriate, and with everyone's tacit approval, the title of "Strongest" Lynn was finalized.

Immediately, the audience at the scene and those watching on television erupted in loud cheers, having successfully witnessed the birth of a legend.

Lynn only spent six months fighting his way through the Sky Arena, and even the previous fighting tournament champion was no match for him.

After this battle, Lynn's popularity reached an unimaginable peak!

After briefly dealing with the various interviews, Lynn went to a corner in the passageway to observe the cards dropped after Bridges was defeated.

【Name: Flying Thunder God Technique】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Description: Leaving the Flying Thunder God Technique seal on a target allows you or any object in contact with your Nen energy to instantly teleport to the location of the seal. With a large amount of Nen energy, you can teleport large targets multiple times. The Nen energy cost increases with each additional seal you leave at the same time.]

Great, another A card.

Moreover, it is the Flying Thunder God Technique, one of the space-time ninjutsu!

Lynn's eyes lit up. This ability is amazing! Minato Namikaze in Naruto earned the title of "Yellow Flash" with this skill.

During the Ninja Wars, other ninja villages even had a rule that "if you encounter the Yellow Flash on the battlefield, you can abandon the mission without being punished," which indirectly highlights Minato Namikaze's strength.

The Flying Thunder God Technique grants Minato extremely high mobility, allowing him to pose a threat comparable to a thousand troops on his own.

Lynn also really liked the various names Minato gave to the Flying Thunder God combination technique.

The opening move is a Sky Soaring Swallow Dance Light Instant Shadow Lingering Style, followed by Gale Super Flash Sky-Splitting Rasengan, and finally finished with Rasengan Sky Light Extreme Sharp Sky-Slicing Flash Style 1.

In the original work, Minato was used to using kunai as the medium for the Flying Thunder God Technique, so he didn't need to deliberately imitate that.

Coincidentally, he possessed an ability perfectly suited for imprinting the Flying Thunder God Technique.

【Card Magic】!

With a slight thought, Lynn instantly conjured a Nen card in his right hand, engraved with a jutsu pattern resembling an ouroboros. Each person's Flying Thunder God technique has a different pattern; for example, the Second Hokage Tobirama's was a pattern, while Minato's was text.

Staring at the spell pattern, Lynn was reminded of the [Magnetic] and [Companion] cards that Greed Island had shown in the original story.

If it were only used on the island, that would be fine, but after Gon and Killua cleared the game, the two used "Travel Together" to traverse an extremely long distance and fly directly to Kite's location.

This demonstrates that teleportation over extremely long distances is possible in the Hunter x Hunter world, and this is not solely due to the use of Nen abilities; the truly crucial factor is the [divine power].

The "God Script" is a special symbolic script, similar to the computer code used by Nen users. It can be used to achieve effects such as sealing, strengthening, and weakening.

The reason Greed Island was able to succeed was because Kim and his companions used a large number of "divine words" and established corresponding constraints and oaths, which enabled this real-world island to have a game system.

Undeniably, the word "god" is a mysterious yet useful thing; if I have the opportunity in the future, I might want to try to understand it.

Lynn collected his thoughts and concealed the ouroboros pattern on the card in his hand.

This is another advantage of card magic: it has a high degree of concealment. For example, when he infused it with ice-type moves, there was still no change in appearance.

He tossed the card between two fingers, and it flew forward at lightning speed. The next moment, Lynn felt a sudden change in his vision, and he found himself instantly in the location of the card.

Flying Thunder God Technique, Second Stage!

Looking back.

In that instant, he traversed a distance of more than ten meters. This was not simply due to his fast speed, but rather because he traversed space to appear at the coordinates of the card.

powerful!

In a short time, Lynn was able to come up with many scenarios for using it in battle.

It can be used for offense, shortening the range of long-range attacks, ambushing opponents, and shifting targets, as well as for escaping in times of crisis.

If used properly, the Flying Thunder God Technique might become his most powerful ability to exploit information gaps!

Without the enemy's knowledge, he instantly teleports to the card's location and delivers a fatal blow.

Even if Tsuchiya were to come, he would still be severely pushed back by Minato's Flying Thunder God Technique II + Rasengan.

Hmm... let's call it [Swift Wind Card Light Flash Shadow Remnant Zero Style].

With his ice-type abilities, he will henceforth become the "Blue Flash" of the Hunter world.

This challenge was definitely the right one!

With most people, including Lynn, satisfied, the highly anticipated "final battle" came to a complete end.

In the following days, thanks to promotions from live audiences, online broadcasts, and the Sky Arena, advertisements and posters celebrating Lynn's victory appeared in many places across the six continents, further boosting Lynn's popularity.

Gradually, more and more people became aware of Lynn's existence.

Whether in terms of strength or status, he is undoubtedly the strongest landlord!

Not only is his skill amazing, but he also has countless fans, and even the Sky Arena official regards him as a cash cow.

After inheriting the title of the strongest floor master, the 251st floor became his property, located at the highest level of the entire Sky Arena.

Theoretically, the 251st floor is the prize for the champion of the biennial fighting tournament, and Lynn's challenge does not comply with the rules.

But rules are made by people. Due to the overwhelming public demand, and because Bridges felt ashamed to continue occupying the 251st floor, he voluntarily gave up his right to reside there.

Seeing this, Lynn simply left the hotel suite and moved into his own room on the 251st floor.

It's rare that I didn't stay in a hotel.

The 251st floor is extremely spacious, with more than two rooms, and all the facilities are top-of-the-line, including but not limited to a practice room, gym, private cinema, hot spring pool... comparable to the top suites of a high-end hotel.

As long as he can maintain his position as the strongest host, this place will always belong to him.

You can enjoy Sky Arena for as long as you want.

In the spacious hot spring pool.

Steam rose from the water.

Lynn leaned against the edge of the pool, her arms resting on the sides, most of her body submerged in the water, the hot spring bringing waves of warmth.

Taking a hot spring bath now and then is also a good idea.

"Please help yourself." The demon sword princess, dressed in a yukata, came to Lynn's side, her tone alluring, and slowly poured a glass of wine with her fair, jade-like hands.

Lynn tilted his head slightly, and from his angle, he could see a large expanse of spring scenery, but because he had seen it too many times, he was already immune to it.

Speaking of which, he has quite a few female character cards, including Yoto Hime, Yuki Onna, Hato, and Erina. Each of them is very beautiful, and they are pleasing to the eye just to have them by your side, not to mention the bedding.

Just like how after eating Erina's delicious food, you can't eat anything else.

Having grown accustomed to delicacies, he could no longer stomach coarse food, and he found it difficult to feel anything for other women.

He readily accepted this.

"Woo~"

Dragonair transforms into a small dog in the water, swimming happily at great speed, showing signs of evolving into Dragonite.

As the dragon molts repeatedly, it has grown to over five meters long. It can create huge waves with a simple roll over. It's only because the hot spring pool is big enough that it can swim freely.

Lynn picked up his wine glass and took a sip. As Yaodaoji massaged his shoulders, he pondered in his mind that Hakron was already B+ rank, and maybe in three months... no, if he was lucky, he might break through to A- rank within two months!

The transition from B+ to A- is quite a hurdle. It's possible that once Dragonair reaches A-, it can evolve into Dragonite.

The importance of an aerial unit goes without saying, especially when it's a Dragonite, which is said to be able to circle the Earth in 16 hours.

After evolving, he can travel all over the world in Dragonite. Although it is not as comfortable as airships or other modes of transportation, it is still very useful in critical moments when every second counts.

Especially in special locations such as remote wilderness areas, the role of aerial units can be greatly demonstrated.

In particular, he doesn't have a sea mount yet. If he needs to travel on the ocean, he can use Dragonite to achieve his goal. Dragonite is even a water dragon, so it can swim in the ocean.

"Genki!" While Dragonair was swimming, Gengar suddenly emerged from the water, intending to give Dragonair a good scare.

In response, Hakuryu just rolled its eyes at Gengar and swam away on its own... It was already immune to Gengar's pranks.

"Genki." Hakuryu's reaction frustrated Gengar, but it quickly rallied and eagerly searched for its next target, only to find that there was no suitable one.

The eldest brother was drinking, Yaodaoji was getting a shoulder massage, Yuki-onna was taking a bath, and Jiu was staying by the pool without going in.

Let's go outside and find Kurapika and Leorio.

It prefers Leorio, especially enjoying Leorio's startled reactions, which gives it a sense of accomplishment in playing pranks.

After a long while, Lynn got out of the pool, revealing his incredibly strong physique. Every muscle looked as if it had been through countless trials. Unlike the large muscles of a bodybuilder, it didn't have such a strong visual impact, but upon closer inspection, one would find it to be surprisingly well-proportioned.

Once ashore, Lynn glanced at the snow woman still in the pool and the dove on the bank.

Previously, when she was at Rank B, Yuki-onna was unable to control her ice abilities well, and would freeze water as soon as it came into contact with it.

However, since being promoted to A-, Yuki-onna has been able to easily control the cold air and doesn't have to worry about not being able to touch water.

Similarly, since the dove is currently only at the B-rank, it cannot control its venomous abilities, so it can only watch them bathe and usually bathe alone.

Jiu has a delicate and petite face, with a pair of large, dark eyes on her fair complexion. Her eye makeup is heavy, and the corners of her eyes are slightly elongated, giving her an aloof and cold feeling.

She had extremely long, snow-white hair that hung loosely, with the ends gathered into rounded bunches. She wore a modified Japanese-style kimono with a hem that was short enough to reach her thighs, revealing her slender and long legs.

Lynn first dressed herself, then took out the [divination tissues].

Today is the monthly card-drawing day, and he just took a shower and changed clothes in the hopes of bringing him good luck.

Perhaps Lady Luck was in a good mood today, for he successfully drew the "Great Fortune" draw.

Lynn's face lit up with joy, and without much hesitation, he took out his Yu-Gi-Oh! deck and drew a card that was infused with his conviction.
