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

Kang Zai slammed his hand on the table, his voice trembling with excitement.

As Lynn's old friend and someone who has witnessed Lynn's prowess firsthand, Kang Zai is already a half-Lynn fanboy.

Therefore, they couldn't wait to stand up and support Lynn.

Seeing this, Krug nodded and said nothing more.

"Since the information was found by the association, its accuracy should be guaranteed."

"The upright and honest Ugly Ox, Mizziston, said in a deep voice."

Although he also found it somewhat unbelievable.

It is remarkable that a person could achieve so much in such a short period of time.

But then I thought about it again and realized that the association's information was almost always accurate, and many of the achievements were made by members of the Twelve Earthly Branches. So it must be true.

Lynn didn't speak, but he listened to everyone's remarks.

I didn't realize it before, but now that I look closely, he really has a lot of connections.

Of the twelve Earthly Branches alone, four people—Kangzai, Piyan, Gailu, and Jin—had a very good relationship with him, accounting for a full third.

They will stand firmly on his side and campaign for him.

"Mr. Lynn's achievements are certainly sufficient, but isn't his promotion speed a bit too fast?"

"After all... it hasn't even been a year and a half since I joined the Hunter Association."

Qiduo, who served as the strategist for the twelve earthly branches, expressed her concerns.

Time is indeed a big problem.

Lynn's contributions are evident to all, but the speed of his improvement can no longer be described as astonishing.

To date, the Hunter Association's record for the fastest advancement to three-star hunter is held by Pariston, who took seven years.

Lynn En had only been a member of the association for less than a year and a half, a truly astonishing difference.

Upon hearing this, Kang Jae and the others did not deny it; this was indeed a key point.

After a moment of silence, an unexpected statement was made.

"Personally, I don't think there's anything wrong with this."

Pariston smiled broadly and took the initiative to speak up for Lynn.

"After all, Mr. Lynn's contributions were genuine. If a hero doesn't receive the reward he deserves, it will dishearten the other members of the Hunter Association."

Chapter 231 Is Lynn the strongest in the world? Everyone is shocked!

"Qualifications are one of the indicators that the association values, and that is certainly true."

"But I think that given Mr. Lynn's contributions, no one will make things difficult for him on this point."

“It’s already 2000, and the association shouldn’t remain unchanged and rigidly adhere to the old rules. It should be determined according to the circumstances.”

"If we don't give Mr. Lynn a proper title just because of his seniority, other forces might take this opportunity to recruit him, and the Hunter Association might lose a great contributor, hmm~"

"Of course, these are just my personal opinions."

Pariston smiled as he explained his point of view, clearly expressing his support for Lynn.

This surprised Lynn somewhat, since he had never met Pariston before, let alone had any connection with him.

Given Pariston's personality, it's already a good thing he didn't cause any trouble.

But precisely because of this, Pariston must have had plans he was unaware of, which is why he took the initiative to speak up for him.

Pariston stopped talking and just silently observed Lynn.

Lynn...

That's really strong!

Pariston is quite capable, and he certainly has that much insight.

With both strength and ability, it's no wonder that By Yangde wanted to recruit him into the team.

Upon hearing this, not only Lynn, but also Gail, Pjorn and others were taken aback, not expecting Pariston to stand up for them.

Kang Zai raised an eyebrow and said bluntly, "You're unusually normal today. Is this what they mean by 'laying down the butcher's knife and instantly becoming a Buddha'?"

“Excuse me, you probably meant to say that a prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold,” Paris corrected in a gentle tone. “But I don’t think I’m any different today than I was before.”

"I've always been this way."

"You're always speaking up for fairness and justice, aren't you?"

Pariston smiled broadly and spread his hands.

As a result, no one paid any attention to him, and the scene immediately became quiet.

Seeing that no one else was speaking, Netero stroked his beard and began to speak formally:

"We can begin the vote. First, those who disagree with Lynn's promotion to three-star hunter, please raise your hands."

The twelve Earthly Branches looked at each other in bewilderment, and in the end, no one raised their hand.

"Hehe, no one objects?" Netero chuckled, winking at Lynn across from him. "You really have a lot of personal charm."

"It's rare to have such a smooth meeting."

No one objecting does not necessarily mean it passed unanimously.

Because there will be abstentions.

In the past, meetings often resulted in complex situations, with some people agreeing, some opposing, and many abstaining from voting.

Because each of the twelve Earthly Branches has different views, there are radical hawks, conservative doves, and balanced liberals.

Therefore, all three types of votes will appear in almost every meeting.

This time it's different; not a single person is against it.

Since that's the case, we can announce the results of the meeting.

From this day forward, Lynn officially becomes a new three-star hunter of the Hunter Association!

And he broke the association's record, becoming the fastest three-star hunter to be promoted!

Unlike one-star and two-star hunters, three-star hunters have two ways of being manifested.

One type lists which category the three-star hunters belong to, for example, Qiduo is a three-star hunter specializing in difficult and complicated diseases.

Another type is collectively known as Samsung Hunter, without specifying which category it belongs to.

This usually appears among the high-ranking members of the Hunter Association. For example, Vice President Pariston is a three-star hunter, but it is not specified what field he belongs to.

The same applies to Nitero, who is also the president.

Since Lynn's achievements cover a wide range of areas, including food, relics, and bounties, it is inconvenient to refer to him as a three-star hunter in any particular area.

Therefore, it falls into the second category, and can be directly referred to as the "Samsung Hunter".

"Congratulations, Lynn."

As soon as the meeting ended, people like Gai Lu, who were familiar with him, came forward to congratulate him.

This is definitely something to be happy about.

"Speaking of which, it's quite surprising that you would come to attend the meeting."

Gail looked at Jin as if she were seeing the sun rising in the west.

"Since I have some free time, and the main character is Lynn, I should give him some face."

Jin patted Lynn on the shoulder and said in a serious tone.

The meeting ended, but Lynn and the others did not leave the Hunter Association; instead, they waited for another meeting to begin.

During this trip, he also learned more about the specifics of the next meeting.

It turns out that this meeting was initiated by Netero himself, to re-evaluate the "World's Top Five Nen Users".

This list was compiled many years ago.

As the name suggests, this list refers to the five most powerful Nen users in the world.

Of course, this refers to the people in the public eye; whether there are other powerful figures behind the scenes is unknown.

This title takes into account both reputation and strength, so some people who are capable but deliberately hide their abilities are not included, especially the powerful figures of certain countries.

On the contrary, strong members of civilian organizations like the Hunter Association are more likely to make a name for themselves.

These five people are:

The current president of the Hunter Association, Chairman Netero, is known as the "strongest in the world".

Known as the "Prodigal Son," Jin is a two-star relic hunter residing in the Pig position of the Twelve Earthly Branches.

As a three-star terrorist hunter, he is hailed as second only to Netero in both strength and reputation, and is also one of the twelve earthly branches, Chenlong Potter White.

A renowned senior figure who passed away many years ago.

Another strong player from V5 was not present today.

The reason for gathering everyone here is to announce the new generation of the world's five greatest Nen users.

Gail estimated that Lynn would take the place of the deceased powerhouse.

After all, given Lynn's strength, it's perfectly reasonable for him to become one of the world's top five Nen users.

Before long, everyone headed toward another prepared meeting room.

On the way to the conference room, Lynn met up with Bisge, Menchi, and his apprentice Kurapika. Together with King, Gal, and others, the group made quite a sight.

To others, none of these people were simple.

It can be described as a heavyweight combination.

The twelve earthly branches need no introduction; they are a well-known fact.

And two-star hunter Bisge, one-star hunter Menchi, one-star hunter Kurapika...

Among this group, the lowest rank is a one-star hunter, or at least one of the twelve earthly branches.

It's important to understand that compared to the number of non-star hunters, star hunters are far fewer in number, and each one is an elite.

As they entered the meeting room, Lynn discovered that it was surprisingly spacious and unexpectedly large.

It should be considered a large conference room.

There are now a dozen or twenty people scattered inside.

There are probably several dozen people in total.

The population can be roughly divided into two categories.

First, the high-ranking members of various factions, such as the Twelve Zodiacs of the Hunter Association, V5 officials and nobles, and heads of special organizations...

Secondly, there are some scattered hunters with titles.

For example, Bissie and Menchi belong to this category, and Lynn even saw some familiar figures in it.

For example, Morel and Nob from the Chimera Ants in the original work.

With that big pipe slung over his shoulder, it was hard for anyone not to notice him.

He hasn't been defeated by the Ant King yet, so he's only a one-star Ocean Hunter.

These people have gathered in this conference room for the announcement of the new world's five greatest Nen users!

The spacious conference room has a large rectangular conference table that can seat many people.

But only those with names and titles could sit down; those with less seniority could only stand behind their own people.

"Hehehe, come and sit down."

"You're the star of the day."

Netero gently put down his teacup and greeted Lynn with a smile.
