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

This is a hotel suite, and it looks quite luxurious.

But there's no reason for him to be here. I remember he was just at home, and then he woke up and found himself here.

The effects of Nen ability? Was I hypnotized?

Regardless, the young man in front of him definitely knew something.

“This is Sares City, the city where the World Tree is located.” Lynn hesitated for a moment before speaking directly.

Sares City… Geno frowned almost imperceptibly. Their Zoldyck family was in the Republic of Minbo, while Sares was located on the continent of Eurubian, which was almost half a world away.

"There's another question... why would I want to kill you?" After a long pause, Jeno slowly spoke, his experienced eyes scrutinizing Lynn. "Your strength is quite good, but I don't know you and haven't taken any jobs from you. So it's impossible for me to want to kill you. I don't want to kill someone for no reason; it's a losing proposition."

"This makes me feel very abnormal."

There are only two interpretations.

"First, you or your forces are very powerful and have altered my memories."

"Second, this is a false space, or rather, I am merely a product of thought, a copy with memories and power."

Upon hearing this, Lynn remained expressionless, but couldn't help but marvel inwardly.

Indeed, experience is the best teacher.

In just a short time, Geno deduced that he might be a clone, rather than a real living person.

Since the helmet's purpose is to simulate combat, it plants the thought of killing him in the mind of each replica created, thereby stimulating combat.

But they happened to run into the Zoldyck family, an oddball family. In their family, especially in the minds of the older generation like Silva and Geno, the mission target is whoever they kill, and they don't kill more unless necessary, because they don't take money from others and don't do unprofitable business.

It was through this bizarre murderous intent and the inexplicable fact that he had appeared here across half the world that Geno began to boldly speculate that he was a clone.

He had simulated battles many times, but only Jeno discovered the truth. Perhaps it was because Jeno was knowledgeable and had seen similar Nen abilities that led him to this idea.

Seeing that Lynn had nothing to say, Jeno shook his head slightly: "Forget it, let's just consider it a losing deal."

No sooner had he finished speaking than Jeno dashed off at incredible speed.

He planned to capture Lynn first and then force him to reveal the truth. It is undeniable that the murderous intent in his heart did affect him.

Almost instantly, Jeno rushed to Lynn's side, his right hand forming a chop with his five fingers together, and he thrust out with immense spiritual energy.

Lynn instinctively stepped back, dodging the attack precisely, but the experienced Geno had anticipated it. As Lynn retreated, Geno's already charged left leg lashed out like a steel whip.

A sudden whooshing sound rang out!

Peng!

Geno's gaze sharpened as he saw his left leg collide with the blade, producing a loud sound and sending shockwaves surging outwards.

In a very short time, Lynn drew his Hyōrinmaru to block Jeno's sneak attack, a reaction that earned Jeno's secret nod of approval.

In just this first round, he determined how much it would normally cost to kill Lynn...

Old man.

Lynn narrowed his eyes, parried with the Hyōrinmaru in his right hand, and clenched his left fist, his surging Nen rising like flames as he suddenly struck Geno in the chest.

Seeing this, Jeno remained calm and quickly retreated, while Lynn relentlessly pursued him.

For every step Jeno takes back, he takes a step forward.

Decades of relentless assassin work have honed Jeno's exceptional agility and reflexes, enabling him to anticipate and react to an enemy's next move in the shortest possible time.

In a sense, this can also be considered a kind of "observation color".

At the same time, Jeno doesn't know much about Lynn, such as his attack habits and the effects of his Nen ability, so he is still in the probing stage and dares not attack rashly.

This led to an extremely strange situation for the two of them.

Geno was clearly the stronger player, but round after round, he was constantly retreating and being suppressed.

Assassins don't need to take risks or act impulsively; they only need to gather intelligence and then deliver a fatal blow!

Zheng—

Hyōrinmaru unleashed a blinding sword light, but Geno remained silent, only hunching over and bending down to dodge it. His gaze was fierce, and his hands formed a shape resembling a dragon's head at an extremely fast speed.

[Dragon Head Plays with Teeth]!

After several rounds of probing, he had roughly figured out the young man's fighting habits and Nen abilities.

The knife in his hand is unusual; it can release a bone-chilling cold aura, and it is most likely a Nen tool. In that case, he is a Conjuration-type Nen user. Just pay attention to that knife.

His ki capacity and strength are both considerable, and he is also adept at advanced application techniques. He possesses decades of training that does not match his appearance, making him an absolute genius. Moreover, he has a powerful master to guide him.

Unfortunately, he lacked the skill and experience to seize the opportunity after waiting for several rounds.

Jeno unleashed a powerful "Tooth Thrust" with both hands, aiming to strike Lynn's waist, while simultaneously monitoring Lynn's reaction.

As soon as Lynn showed any intention to dodge, he would immediately change his tactics and still manage to give Lynn a hard time.

However, Lynn's reaction made him look serious.

Ignoring the imminent attack, Lynn expressionlessly merged with the Snow Woman, channeling all his Nen into Hyōrinmaru. With a twist of his blade, he slashed vertically downwards, unleashing an astonishing burst of cold air and flashes of light, as if to cleave Geno in two in one swift motion.

【One-Sword Style o Ice Light o Lion Song】!

boom!

In an instant, Fang Tu and Lion Song landed on the two of them at the same time.

A tremendous amount of energy burst forth in one go.

Lynn was struck by the dragon head formed by intense psychic energy and was thrown back more than ten meters away. His feet left two obvious marks on the ground. It took him a while to regain his balance and neutralize the force of the attack. His clothes were torn open, revealing his slightly sunken abdomen and trickling blood.

Meanwhile, things weren't going well for Geno either.

He had a knife wound about ten centimeters long on his right shoulder, but it was not bleeding and was instead sealed by solid ice.

But this wasn't good news... Geno glanced at his right shoulder, which was partially frozen, and his eyelids twitched. Now he wouldn't be able to use his right hand as flexibly, which was a tricky situation.

This is clearly the effect of chanting, and he can't dispel it in a short time.

That madman.

Jeno looked at Lynn with a hostile expression, silently thinking to himself.

Faced with such a critical situation, Lynn did not try to dodge, but instead traded injuries for injuries, and used most of his Nen energy for attack, so that his abdomen did not have enough Nen energy for defense, so he was injured, and the injury was even more serious than his own.

He can still withstand it, but if Lynn continues with this reckless fighting style, he will definitely be the one who dies in the end.

"You must be feeling bad, your abdomen was badly injured by me." Geno put his hands behind his back, looking calm and composed, and slowly said, "Your injury has created a huge weakness. Not only will your Nen circulation be restricted, but you will also have to take this weakness into account when you move."

"Twice, no, just one more hit to the abdomen like just now will be enough to decide the outcome."

"If you tell me the answer now, I can stop intervening."

"This is the last chance."

"If you want to die, I won't stop you."

Jeno stared at Lynn, his eyes calm as still water.

He had killed countless people. For an assassin, the blood on his hands was not a sin, but rather an honor. Therefore, he felt no guilt about killing. If Lynn did not agree, he would really kill Lynn.

Upon hearing this, Lynn scoffed and shook his head, saying:

"It's really amazing that you can say that."

"You think the outcome is already decided, but to me, it's just the beginning!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a Senzu Bean appeared in Lynn's hand and he quickly swallowed it. The whole process was so smooth that even Geno didn't have time to react.

Once the Senzu Bean entered the body, it emitted unimaginable vitality. Streams of energy rapidly washed over the limbs and bones, and injuries and depleted Nen were restored in an instant.

Not only that, the Gourmet Cells also began to greedily absorb the energy brought by the Senzu Beans. In a sense, Senzu Beans are also a kind of "gourmet food", and an extremely precious one at that.

In the blink of an eye, Lynn returned to normal, and his aura even rose like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, reaching an unexpected height.

Fourth gate, the wound gate, open!

At this moment, Lynn's aura was at its zenith, his whole being like a dazzling sun, his spiritual energy surging forth as if it were free, a powerful pressure permeating the arena, clearly possessing A+ level strength!

Feeling the immense power within him, Lynn subconsciously curled the corners of his mouth, rediscovering a familiar feeling. He remembered that he needed to use [Solo Assistance] to achieve A+ level strength.

But things are different now. He can now possess A+ level strength through his own abilities, making him a top-tier figure below S- level.

Despite the time limit, it was sufficient.

In simulated battles, he can freely use cards; for example, if he has three Senzu Beans, he can use them at will.

Are you injured? Take one.

Not enough Nen? Take another one!

He refused to believe it; even if he couldn't kill Geno with three Senzu Beans, he could wear him down.

This is troublesome... Geno stared intently at Lynn, who had not only recovered from his injuries but also greatly increased his strength, his expression becoming even more serious.

If Lynn was weaker than him before, now the gap between them is not that big.

Especially that strange recovery, it seems to be the effect of something I just ate, I don’t know how many pills it was?

He would never accept a normal assassination commission for such an enemy; the risk of killing this kind of person is too great.

How many more hidden cards does he have up his sleeve?

Geno frowned, not daring to make any rash moves.

Then, Lynn demonstrated an amazing ability to him.

Lynn's hands produced a large amount of clay, which quickly formed two figures.

One figure was Illumi, an A-rank fighter, and the other was Netero, an A-rank fighter.

Upon seeing these two people, Jeno's pupils contracted slightly; he was quite familiar with them!

One is his own grandson, and the other is an old friend he has known for many years. In fact, according to seniority, he should call Netero "Grandpa." Netero has been the strongest in the world since he was a child.

"Hey Grandpa, it's great to see you here." Illumi stared at Geno with his empty, dark eyes, raised his hand in greeting, and at the same time, five Nen needles flew out in succession.

If I have memories... does that mean I can still use Nen abilities?!

Geno's expression changed, and he dodged the barrage of needles. However, Netero suddenly rushed to his side, laughing as he punched him in the face. The speed of his punch was astonishing, and the sound of air being cut rang out.

"Hehehe, actually I've wanted to punch you in the face for a long time."

Geno quickly leaned back, almost grazing Netero's fist, and could feel the Nen energy piercing his face at close range.

He quickly judged the strength of the two from this intensity.

Sun Tzu's strength is about the same as the original, while Netero is much weaker than the original, even weaker, which shows that the strength of clones is limited.

Even so, the sudden appearance of Illumi and Netero could still cause him considerable trouble, especially since he couldn't gamble on whether Illumi's Nen ability was usable, so he mainly focused on dodging.

Netero engages in direct combat, while Illumi harasses him from the side.

The threat became even greater when he seized the opportunity to sever Illumi's arm and discovered that the clay figure could regenerate limbs.

For a moment, Genorton, who was already injured and exhausted, felt helpless.

Watching Jeno constantly maneuvering between the two clay figures, Lynn nodded slightly. It seemed that his overall strength was already quite considerable.

So far, the combination of Illumi and Netero's puppets is probably the most threatening and also the most cost-effective.

Although his psychic energy is consumed at an alarming rate during intense battles, which is why he can't maintain it for long, he can use it at crucial moments.

Even without using Senzu Beans, with the Snow Woman's possession and the Eight Gates, he could temporarily possess A+ strength and wouldn't be afraid to fight against a powerhouse like Geno, at least for a short period of time.

If they use their trump cards like Senzu Beans and Stand Scarecrows to enter a life-or-death battle, then it's definitely a case of Geno dying and him surviving.

Now he has the confidence to face A+ level enemies without fear!

My internal energy is rapidly decreasing; I should finish this quickly.

Lynn popped another magic bean to make sure he was in peak condition.

Peng!
