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

“And over there,” Machi said solemnly, and everyone looked in that direction.

On the steps, to Lynn's lower right, Tsunade sat holding a large bowl of sake. After gulping down the sake, she casually wiped the liquid from her mouth and exclaimed heartily, "Ha! That was satisfying!"

Although Tsunade did not deliberately reveal her aura, she still gave people the feeling of being unfathomable!

Beside her were Chopper and Zoro, who were talking.

"Huh~?" Chopper stood at Zoro's feet, blinked, and asked curiously, "Is this what they call an A-class criminal?"

"Looks like there are a few guys I can cut down." Zoro rested his chin on his right hand, a smirk playing on his lips, his gaze fixed on Feitan.

He could sense that the guy seemed to be using a sword.

In an instant, ten character cards appeared around Lynn, forming a star-studded lineup that highlighted Lynn in the center.

Ten!

A total of ten figures!

These are all Nen beasts released by Lynn!

In an instant, they went from being the side with the majority of people to the side with the fewest.

Moreover, although not all of Lynn's Nen beasts released their auras, it was clear that they were generally quite strong.

They greatly underestimated Lynn's strength!

Kuroro's previously calm face finally showed signs of distress, revealing a serious expression.

Normally, it would be difficult for a Nen user to possess so many Nen beasts with different appearances and unique characteristics.

Nen beasts are generally divided into two types: Emission type and Conjuration type.

The Emission type is the type that most frequently uses Nen beasts.

This is because the specialty of such people is to release their Nen energy outside their bodies. However, Nen beasts that release their energy often only have simple abilities and rely on their host body for control.

Conjuration-type Nen beasts are different.

Because they are materialized products, they can be seen by ordinary people and are usually presented as single entities. They possess special abilities or even some intelligence and tend to be a kind of living being.

Lynn's Nen beasts are clearly materialized, but even the well-informed Chrollo has never heard of anyone being able to materialize ten different Nen beasts at once!

What's even more thought-provoking is Lynn's strength!

Nen beasts are one of the components of a Nen user's strength, but even if a Nen beast is very strong, it will not exceed the Nen user by much, because the Nen user needs to bear the Nen energy to materialize the Nen beast.

But what about Lynn?

He conjured ten imposing spirit beasts at once, and appeared unusually relaxed, with no fluctuations in his spirit energy, as if this matter was just a drop in the ocean for him.

This made Kuroro wonder just how much strength Lynn was hiding. To pay such a huge amount of Nen, he must be quite powerful.

Kuroro quickly analyzed a bunch of things in his mind, constantly changing his mind. The process was wrong, but the result was right.

Lynn's strength was indeed much greater than they had expected, but it wasn't reflected in the materialized character cards; he didn't need to consume any Nen energy to summon characters.

Kuroro gathered his thoughts; the biggest problem now was how to retreat!

That's right, he no longer intends to pursue revenge, at least not today.

Upon seeing the numerous Nen beasts released by Lynn, he realized that the intelligence was seriously flawed; Lynn's strength was far greater than they had imagined, only slightly higher than Hisoka's.

It is likely that Nobunaga and Uvogin were indeed killed by Lynn alone.

Faced with a major intelligence blunder, taking rash action would be absolutely unwise; therefore, retreat is the first option.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems it won't be so easy to leave...

Chapter 173 Three Thousand Worlds! Feitan, Die!

At this moment, there was utter silence.

The members of the Phantom Troupe were all surprised by the number of Nen beasts Lynn displayed, and at the same time realized that the information was wrong.

Today's revenge won't go as smoothly as expected!

Of all these, Machi's feelings were the most profound.

Sure enough, the bad premonition came true... Machi's cold face turned pale, her gaze fell on Tsunade who was drinking heavily, and her hands unconsciously clenched into fists.

Unexpectedly, that person was actually Lynn's Nen beast!

She naturally recognized Tsunade as the person she had fought in the casino that day. She had always thought she was a hidden expert from the Reges royal family, but she never expected that she was one of Lynn's Nen beasts!

While shocked, Machi also had to think about something else.

If even a Nen Beast possesses such immense power, then what about Lynn himself?

Thinking of this, Machi's heart sank to the bottom. Her intuition was frantically warning her that a great disaster was about to befall her!

They, like a spider with three missing legs, had somehow fallen into the web that Lynn had laid.

"I can't escape directly... I need to find an opportunity," Kuroro thought to himself.

At this point, others also realized the seriousness of the problem.

Lynn's strength exceeded expectations, and they were now in a state of being "surrounded." Judging from Lynn's demeanor, he seemed to have them cornered and wouldn't be willing to let them escape like this.

A battle is unavoidable; we have to fight one!

Kuroro immediately made a decision: after testing Lynn, he would look for a suitable opportunity to leave.

At the same time, Kuroro was also quite curious about the specific strength of Lynn and his Nen beast. Whether they were truly powerful or just bluffing, all the questions would have to be answered in the battle.

If Lynn really persists, then we'll have no choice but to fight to the death!

It's not that it's invincible.

Lynn released so many spirit beasts at once, and the consumption of spirit energy will definitely be a big problem, so he probably can't fight a long battle.

Secondly, in the final analysis, these "people" are just mind beasts. As long as we capture the leader first and focus on Lynn, we will succeed in dealing with Lynn.

Overall, the situation was not much different from what was expected, the only deviation being that Lynn concealed his strength.

However, the exact amount concealed is still unknown.

Therefore, we need to test the waters.

Before that, we need to figure out where the information was leaked from.

If there really is a spy, they must be identified immediately, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for them if the spy makes a move in the chaos later.

He personally leans towards the idea that Hisoka was behind it all.

Hisoka himself was always somewhat detached from the Phantom Troupe, never truly integrating into it, and he also knew Lynn.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Kuroro's left hand, hidden behind his back, had materialized into the [Thief's Ultimate Technique], and he calmly spoke:

"I didn't realize you knew us so well."

"They even know exactly what we're doing tonight."

"Can I interpret this as someone among us who knows you well secretly passing you information? Or perhaps they are being manipulated by you?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Pakunoda, Feitan, Korps, and the others instinctively looked at Hisoka, who was smiling at the edge of the group.

No matter how you look at it, this guy seems like a complete traitor.

"We've been targeted... But I clearly didn't tell Lynn that the Phantom Troupe would make a move tonight. Did I judge from the chaos in the capital that the Phantom Troupe wouldn't miss this opportunity tonight?" Hisoka wondered to himself.

There's no way around it; stereotypes are too deeply ingrained. Whenever something happens, everyone will think of him.

Although he did send Lynn a message~

Lynn glanced at Hisoka, who appeared calm on the surface but was actually a little flustered inside, then held up two fingers:

"You said something wrong again."

"There are indeed spies among you, but not just one, but two."

two?!

Upon hearing this, the members of the tour group were shocked and their hearts were filled with turmoil.

"How is this possible! Bastard!" Feitan, whose face was half-covered by his collar, was like a volcano that had been holding back for a long time. His emotions had reached their peak and he could no longer hold back.

The next moment, a figure flashed past and headed straight for Lynn.

Feitan was the first to charge out, drawing a deep red umbrella sword with a skull pattern on it. He moved like a ghost, rapidly approaching Lynn, so fast that he left afterimages.

He was one of the brigade's combatants, specializing in fast attacks.

Similar to Nobunaga, but also different.

Nobunaga's speed comes from rapidly unleashing Iaijutsu slashes within the "circle" area; his own movement speed is not particularly fast.

Feitan, on the other hand, is fast in every way. He has a fast attack speed and a fast movement speed, and even his weapon is a unique, light and convenient umbrella sword.

He wasn't stupid. The situation on the field was already clear: a battle was inevitable. So instead of following Lynn's lead, he might as well take the initiative.

So what if there are many Nian beasts?

Generally speaking, a person's Nen ability can reflect various aspects of that person. The more someone likes to create Nen beasts for battle, the more likely they are to overlook their own power.

If he's fast enough, he can kill Lynn, and all the Nen Beasts will vanish!

However, Feitan's idea was destined to fail.

Halfway there, a green figure blocked his way.

Peng!

The two swords clashed, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that radiated outwards from beneath their feet in concentric circles.

"The speed is not bad, but the strength is lacking." Zoro, holding the Sandai Kitetsu to block the umbrella sword, commented with a smirk.

Damn it!

Feitan's gaze sharpened further; if looks could kill, Zoro would probably have been annihilated several times over in his eyes.

What angered him even more was that Zoro was right. Just from that one exchange of blows, he could tell that he was no match for Zoro in strength!

Although I'm very reluctant to admit it, this guy is indeed a formidable opponent!

Feitan, who was extremely fast, was intercepted in an instant.

Seeing this, the members of the Phantom Troupe frowned and looked Zoro over again.

That guy clearly has a swordsman style; he even carries three swords. I wonder what kind of swords he uses.

However, it's probably no weaker than Feitan.

Just as Pedrolev stepped forward, he was stopped by Phinks' outstretched arm. Phinks said coldly, "Feitan won't want anyone else interfering in his battle, and..."

Finks didn't say the second half of his sentence, but the others could understand what he meant to some extent.

Right now it's just a one-on-one fight between Feitan and Zoro, and the situation is under control. But once they make their move, it will instantly turn into a massive free-for-all.

They still don't know what Lynn meant by the two spies, and acting rashly is not the best option.

Moreover, Feitan's performance can be used to judge Zoro's, and even Lynn's, strength, and this one-on-one duel can be used as a test.

"Don't get too cocky!"

"Just a mere Nen beast!"

Feitan's face was contorted with rage as he swung his umbrella sword with incredible speed, instantly creating a series of sword flowers in mid-air.

Unwilling to admit defeat, he was only focused on defeating Zoro as quickly as possible.

If he can't even handle a mere spirit beast, doesn't that mean he's not even a tenth as good as Lynn?

Zoro's gaze sharpened, and a look of delight crossed his face. He enjoyed sparring with swordsmen, and although Feitan was a bit weak, he was still passable.

"One-Sword Style: Three Hundred and Sixty Troubles!"

In an instant, Zoro flicked his wrist, and several sharp sword energies whistled past, colliding violently with Feitan's umbrella sword.

A cloud of smoke billowed out, then was blown in all directions by the sounds of the battle. Two swordsmen engaged in a fierce battle in the middle, with countless flashes of swords and blades.

The commotion was quite significant.
