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

[Flame Fist]!

Its fists burned with flames, and with each strike, they melted the ice blocks rapidly, quickly erasing the ice surface created by the Snow Woman.

Gastly, being a Ghost-type Pokémon, is similar to Psychic and Normal-type Pokémon in that it is a versatile Pokémon with a deep move pool.

Besides its own Ghost-type moves, it also knows a little bit of Fire, Psychic, Electric, and more. It can also stay in the shadows and act as a guardian in the dark.

Seeing that the trouble she had caused had been resolved, the Snow Woman breathed a sigh of relief. After a pause, she raised her hand and created a small ice doll, which she gave to Gastly as a token of her gratitude.

The ice cube was exquisitely crafted, exactly like Gastly's; at least Gastly really liked the Snow Woman's gift.

While enjoying the fish spa, Lynn observed the characteristic bar in his mind.

Judging from the loading speed, this is probably the fastest one he has ever encountered, and it will take about half a month to complete. Hopefully, it will give him a pleasant surprise.

After midnight, Lynn took out his divination tissues again, ready to begin today's divination. In fact, he had been doing divination for several days in a row, all in order to draw Yu-Gi-Oh! cards.

None of the results were auspicious, so he delayed for several days. If he doesn't get auspicious results today, he will still draw lots as long as it's not inauspicious.

With a casual pull, a faint light flashed on the tissue, revealing the words "China-Kyrgyzstan".

Lynn shook his head. Oh well, medium-luck it is.

He can accept anything as long as it's not violent.

With a thought, a familiar Yu-Gi-Oh! deck appeared in his left hand. After a little over a month, he could finally draw cards again.

Last time I pulled a B+ grade enemy controller, I wonder if I can give him the same surprise this time.

My turn, draw a card!

Lynn poured his faith into the card and drew a character card.

Name: Elf Swordsman

[Grade: C+]

[Type: Character Card]

[Background: Yu-Gi-Oh!]

[Description: A common monster card, a spirit that excels at sword attacks, with decent strength]

Okay, it's just a regular Bone Monster card.

The Yu-Gi-Oh! deck says it draws cards from A+ to C-, but the exact probabilities are unknown.

It seems he had pretty good luck with his last gacha pull, getting a B+ on his first try. Come to think of it, there are tons of low-level cards in Yu-Gi-Oh!, so the proportion of high-level cards is naturally low.

I can only pray that I'll get something good next time I draw a gacha.

It's quite comfortable to have at least one draw every month.

As for this Elf Swordsman, we can leave it for now and synthesize it into a new card when we get a new C-rank card.

Now that he's here, he should at least get a guaranteed card; he just doesn't know what kind of card he'll get.

Chapter Sixty-One: The Uninvited Guest of the Food Tower! Six Advanced Techniques!

With this "dream" in mind, he lived a very regular life for the next two weeks.

During the day, I go out to play, occasionally playing a couple of rounds of games at the food tower. In the evening, I enjoy delicious food and exercise. Before I know it, time has flown by.

During this time, two uninvited guests also arrived inside the food tower.

The top floor, the 51st floor.

Inside the luxurious office, the manager of the event organizer stared blankly, with a peculiar little bat antenna stuck behind him.

The manager went to the specially made large safe, entered the password, and successfully opened it. Inside were all the grand prizes of this carnival.

"Found it, the lost documents of the Kingdom of Moros." The knight took out a thick, old book that was well-wrapped and made a quick identification before nodding.

I'm sure the team leader will be satisfied.

Since they arrived late to the last Youkexin auction, this time they chose the simplest and most brutal approach of being thieves.

Just pick it up at my door, no need to worry about anything else.

As for the idea of ​​honestly competing and fighting all the way to the championship, that's just a pipe dream. Who would do that?

They're thieves; they can just take what they want.

So they went straight to the 51st floor, used the knight's manipulative ability [Carrying the Fate of Others] to control the steward to open the safe, and easily got what they wanted.

“This time it has indeed saved us a lot of trouble.” Franklin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “Then let’s go.”

"No, I have another great idea." The swordsman shook his head.

As the strategist of the group, he thought of more than just the prizes; he considered all aspects to maximize the benefits of every operation.

"This food tower carnival is a great event; it can help filter participants."

“I’ve taken a look, and there are quite a few Nen users participating in the competition this time. We just need to wait until the competition is over, then take the final championship and bring the championship and prizes to the leader.”

The leader needs not only ancient books and antiques, but also a good Nen ability.

They usually act freely, and even when they encounter Nen users, they are mostly of average ability and of no value.

However, this food tower was quite popular, with many Nen users participating, which naturally helped to filter them out. The winner in the end probably had some influence from Nen abilities.

For them, this is a risk-free business. If it turns out to be a useful Nen ability, they'll have made a profit. Even if it doesn't suit their taste, it doesn't matter, since they haven't put in any effort.

"I see." Franklin nodded, agreeing with the knight's idea. They would not act for now, but would pack up the people and goods and take them away after the competition.

Time flows by, pouring out like a [refining process].

Soon, the end of the month arrived.

Inside the spacious and bright gym, two figures sometimes crossed paths and sometimes overlapped.

Hyakume-ki raised his hand to grab Lynn, his right hand covered with a considerable amount of [Firmness]. Lynn, as if he had anticipated this, reacted a step ahead and dodged to the right.

With his Observation Haki, he can more easily deal with enemy attacks.

Hyakume had anticipated this, and suddenly opened multiple eyes on his body, slowing down Lynn's speed.

With a quick turn of his right hand, his entire arm swept across like a steel bar, producing a loud whooshing sound.

Taking advantage of Hyakume's approach, Lynn's Nen surged rapidly around his body, his breathing rate changed, and his body instantly hardened.

He raised his left arm to block the attack, and his right hand grabbed Hyakume's arm.

He made it spin vertically with him, like a spinning wheel in the air, and finally slammed the Hundred-Eyed Demon to the ground!

【Iron block wheel】!

boom!

After Hyakume fell, he reacted extremely quickly, gathering his Nen energy in the soles of his feet and kicking Lynn in the abdomen, sending him flying.

The kick was quite powerful, and Lynn showed a hint of pain on his face.

But this actually created an opportunity for him to attack.

After Lynn was sent flying, he did not fall directly to the ground. Instead, he swayed briefly before stomping in the air, using Moonwalk to stay suspended in mid-air, and taking the opportunity to swing his legs rapidly.

A series of gusts of wind, amplified by psychic energy, cleaved through the air currents and hurtled directly toward the Hundred-Eyed Demon below, forming a net of heaven and earth.

【Storm Foot Chaos】!

This move covers a wide area and is not easy to dodge.

Hyakume-ki's eyes narrowed, and he raised his arms to block the attack from above, intending to take the hit head-on.

boom!

After a barrage of bombardments, the specially made ground was ravaged beyond recognition, with horrifying marks left by knives and axes, and dust billowing in the air.

Lynn waved his hand, and the restless dust settled down again.

In the center of the arena, Hyakume was not injured, but it was clear that his Nen energy was significantly depleted. The ground beneath his feet was also cracked like a spider web by the violent attack, and a section of it was dented.

Lynn nodded in satisfaction, and that concluded their exchange for the day.

With Hyakume-ki as his henchman, he naturally wouldn't let any opportunity slip by.

Therefore, in addition to his role as a bodyguard, Hyakume-ki also works as a sparring partner.

The sparring partner position was previously held by Chopper, but now it is occasionally held by both Doumeki and Chopper.

During sparring sessions, he would consciously train his relatively weak reaction speed and physical skills, so he would use the Navy Six Style more often.

After a long period of development, in addition to the initial [Finger Gun Missile], he developed several advanced techniques of the Six Styles.

For example, [Iron Block Wheel], [Storm Kick Chaos], [Finger Gun Spot]...

At this rate, perhaps one day he will be able to comprehend the [Six Styles Secret Technique - Six Kings Spear] and [Life Return] on his own.

Besides physical skills, he also did not slack off in the application of [mind], and he had already mastered six of the advanced application techniques [Condensation, Concealment, Circulation, Firmness, Roundness, and Hardness].

The only thing I haven't learned yet is the last and most difficult one: "hardness".

【Hard】is very special; it is an advanced applied technique that combines multiple skills.

First, use the [Concentrate] skill to concentrate all the Qi into a specific part of the body.

Next, use the [Entangle] skill to completely envelop the emitted gas in that area to increase its density.

At this time, a small amount of Qi will still escape from other parts of the body, so use the [Absolute] skill to eliminate the Qi from other parts.

At this point, the area where [Condensation] is used will receive 100% of the Nen from within the body and be greatly strengthened.

【Hard】 is often used by Nen users as an important offensive weapon in battle, allowing them to unleash 100% of their Nen at the opponent, which can undoubtedly inflict great damage.

However, the risks are also very high, as the body has zero defense except for the areas targeted by the attack.

If these areas are attacked by the opponent, they will suffer fatal damage.

Therefore, Nen users usually do not use "hard" attacks unless they are confident that they can hit their opponent.

However, even though the opportunities to use it are few, it is still a skill that must be learned.

Perhaps due to insufficient physical fitness, or perhaps due to a lack of mastery over other techniques, he has not yet truly mastered the "hard" aspect and can only continue to practice diligently.

Chapter Sixty-Two: B+ Grade Dionysus Onion! The Gourmet Tower Final Battle!

After adjusting his state, Lynn had a thought in mind and conjured a new card.

He stayed in Jeram for half a month, and finally the trait bar produced a card.

The feature bar has reached its limit, so this is the only card left.

【Name: Egg Tempura Rice Bowl】

[Grade: B-]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Food Wars!]

[Description: A special dish created by Soma Yukihira, containing unique energy. Despite using ordinary ingredients, it is still quite delicious. Ordinary people risk having their clothes blown off if they eat it, but it can restore physical strength in a short time after consumption.]

A bowl of rice?

Upon seeing the egg tempura rice bowl with a B- grade rating, Lynn blinked instinctively, thinking he was seeing things.

After seeing the words "Food Wars! Shokugeki no Soma," he understood.

In that world, eating can even cause clothes to burst and glow, and this particular dish was made by the protagonist and has the effect of restoring stamina, so a B- rating would be reasonable.

The thought of Soma Yukihira made Lynn's mind start to wander again.

Increase physical strength - Find delicious food - Find ingredients - Submit to Toriko - Obtain the delicious food - Successfully increase strength.

This is his current process.
