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

He had already reserved a spot in advance.

Lynn was sitting right next to him.

……

Time passed by, bit by bit.

As more and more people arrived at the conference room, the pre-arranged time finally arrived.

"Well then, it's time, so let me explain the specifics."

Seeing that the time had come, Chairman Netero addressed the crowd directly.

Everyone is now in place, and everyone is listening carefully to Nitero's speech.

The stadium was so quiet you could hear a pin drop; only Netero was speaking.

As the personal secretary of the Hunter Association's president, Beanman stood behind President Netero.

She meticulously performed her record-keeping duties.

"As you all probably know, the world's five greatest Nen users."

"This list was finalized many years ago in the same conference hall."

"The world's top five Nen users may not be the five strongest in the world, but their strength is definitely among the strongest."

Netero spoke slowly and deliberately so that everyone could hear him clearly.

Even in the large conference hall, where many people were gathered, Netero's words could still be clearly heard by everyone.

"After so many years, this list has become outdated and is no longer relevant to the current situation."

"In particular, one of them passed away four years ago, leaving a vacancy among the five Nen users."

"So we'll fill that spot today."

This statement didn't cause much of a stir, since it was just filling a vacancy.

It's not like all five people stepped down and were replaced by others.

After so many years, it's quite reasonable to replace one or two people from this list.

Apart from a few who already had a guess, everyone else focused their attention, waiting for Netero to announce his choice.

They are more concerned about who the next top five will be.

The list of "the world's top five Nen users" doesn't seem to be determined by a rigorous vote like the president of the Hunter Association.

Instead, it was proposed verbally by Netero so that everyone could witness it.

It's best if there are no objections; if there are objections, it's not so easy to resolve.

This kind of list reflects an individual's strength and reputation.

Just because you're not among the "World's Top Five Nen Users" doesn't mean you're weak.

But the fact that you're in there means you must be strong!

Everyone will have their own preferred candidate, and conflicts are inevitable if the candidate does not align with one's own preferences.

Unlike the Twelve Earthly Branches, which are well-known even to ordinary people.

Because of the phrase "Nen user," this special list is destined to circulate only within the Nen user community.

This idea was only mentioned by Bisge when she spoke to the two children about King on Greed Island in the original work.

Bisge said that King is one of the world's five greatest Nen users.

Therefore, this is an unofficial list proposed by Chairman Netero and witnessed by representatives from various factions.

Nevertheless, the five Nen users recognized by the "world's strongest" still wield extraordinary influence.

As a Nen user, you might not know anything about one-star or two-star hunters.

But you will definitely know about the "World's Five Great Nen Users"!

This kind of list can also better inspire others to pursue martial arts and always maintain a heart that strives for improvement.

"I've already made arrangements for a replacement."

"It's Lynn sitting right here!"

"There's something I need to add. Just today, Lynn officially became the association's newest three-star hunter."

Netero chuckled and pointed to Lynn beside him, successfully drawing everyone's attention to Lynn.

For a moment, most people showed expressions of "I knew it".

Lynn's fame was greater than he had imagined.

Everyone present had heard of Lynn's reputation, the only difference being how much they had heard of him.

World's top exorcist.

The strongest player in Sky Arena.

In terms of titles alone, these two are the most widely known.

Especially the latter.

The former has a higher level of understanding, while the latter has a wider reach and is familiar to ordinary people.

This is mainly thanks to Sky Arena's aggressive advertising campaign across the six continents in order to make money.

Thus, this title became Lynn's most well-known title.

In addition, given the stories circulating about Lynn, no one had any objection to the proposal.

However, some individuals raised concerns, suggesting that there were other candidates to consider.

Nitro cracked the code using the simplest and most direct method.

"I am well aware of Lynn's strength."

"In fact, I have fought Lynn before, and I lost very badly."

Netero chuckled, seemingly unconcerned, and casually uttered words that surprised everyone else.

Netero, the chairman of the Hunter Association and known as the "world's strongest," actually lost to Lynn!

This household name, considered invincible, lost to a young man!

Doesn't that mean Lynn is the new "strongest in the world"?!

"I can't beat Lynn either."

Seeing that the old man had expressed his opinion, Jin's eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of his mouth curled up. He also chose to speak, adding his own embellishments:

"It's no exaggeration to say that Lynn alone could easily defeat several of me."

Jin's words shocked everyone even more, leaving them all in a state of confusion.

For a moment, they couldn't even tell whether what Jin said was true or a lie.

If that's true, it's too exaggerated, isn't it?

Although many people dislike Kim and his personality.

However, it must be admitted that Ging's strength is indeed formidable, otherwise he wouldn't be known as one of the "world's five greatest Nen users".

Yet this same person claims Lynn could defeat several of him...

This shocked people.

Excluding those who died or were absent, there are only three [Top 5] members left, but two of them have already said they are not as good as Lynn.

So……

Countless eyes turned to the serious-looking Chenlong Potter.

Porter had no intention of speaking at first.

Seeing that everyone's attention was on him, he had no choice but to speak up and express his opinion:

"I have never fought Lynn."

These words brought a sigh of relief to many people, as they all admitted that they were no match for Lynn.

Then why bother running for one of the "World's Top Five Nen Users"?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to just declare Lynn the "strongest in the world"?

“If it’s possible, I would like to have a friendly spar with Mr. Lynn.” Potter looked directly at Lynn and extended an invitation, his tone sincere.

Chapter 232 S-Rank Dragon Talisman! The New World's Strongest!

Potter has invited Lynn to a sparring match!

Everyone was on edge, waiting for Lynn's reply.

If Lynn agrees and successfully defeats Porter, he will replace Netero as the new "World's Strongest"!

The strongest transition between the old and new worlds is absolutely big news.

They seem to be witnessing the dawn of a new era.

Lynn was positioned diagonally in front of Porter, meeting the latter's battle-ready gaze, and said without hesitation:

"can."

"Just now."

Lynn agreed!

But... isn't it too hasty to start now?

After all, they were in a meeting, and there was no suitable venue for the two of them to spar.

But none of this mattered to Lynn.

Lynn stood up, waved his hand casually, and a door suddenly appeared in everyone's sight, just like that.

Lynn opened the door and went in, disappearing from everyone's sight.

Is this a kind of spatial teleportation ability?

It is said that the exorcist Lynn has an extremely rich array of methods, and seeing him today, I can confirm that his reputation is well-deserved; he even possesses rare spatial abilities.

Add to that the ability to exorcise Nen... this can no longer be described as 1+1=2.

Potter paused for a moment, then calmly followed Lynn through the door. The door then disappeared from sight as if it had never existed.

The Hunter Association doesn't have a suitable location, but Lynn can simply open the door to a remote suburb and use nature as his battlefield.

And since this doesn't take long, it can be resolved on the spot.

Many people were surprised to see the two disappear like that, and wondered how long they would have to wait.

Such powerful individuals would naturally fight to a standstill. If the difference in strength was too great, it would be fine, but if the difference was not too great, their strength would allow them to fight for a long time.

Now we'll have to wait a while.

"President, shall we call this meeting today?"

Someone made a suggestion to Nitro.

In their view, an hour would be considered fast.

“Don’t worry, I don’t think it will be long,” Netero said, putting down his teacup and stroking his newly grown beard with a sigh.

After all, Lynn and he didn't spar for very long.

Six months have passed since that sparring match, and his beard has grown back. Just like this ever-growing beard, Lynn will not stop growing.

To be honest, even he didn't know the extent of Lynn's strength, and Potter's strength was about the same as his, so losing to Lynn was a foregone conclusion.

It won't take much time..., right?

These words sent a jolt through people.

It seems that what Netero and King said was actually true?
