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

Chapter 95 Armament Haki! A Simulated Battle with Hisoka!

After accumulating for so long, he has quite a few cards in his hand.

However, the only B-grade card he had was [Theft], while the others were all very useful, so it was obviously not suitable for crafting.

After a moment's consideration, Lynn took out two sets of C-rank cards: Snow Walker and Elf Swordsman, and Minotaur and Soldier's Rations.

These four cards are not very useful to him at the moment, but they can be used to combine them for a gamble.

The first three need no further explanation, while the "Soldier's Food Pill" is a card that the knights obtained while hunting during this period.

First, there's Yukari and the Elf Swordsman, both of whom are related to swords.

synthesis!

A few breaths later, a brand new card appeared in his hand.

【Name: Famous Sword Shusui】

[Grade: B+]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Description: One of the 21 Great Swords of the One Piece world, it was once the sword of the swordsman Ryuma, who slew the dragon. After being soaked in Armament Haki for a long time, it turned into a black blade with astonishing power. Using it to train swordsmanship can greatly improve efficiency.]

The famous sword Autumn Water is a real treasure. Not only can it be used, but it can also improve one's swordsmanship proficiency. Perhaps he can use Autumn Water to become a powerful swordsman in the future.

Lynn shook his head. He couldn't bear to synthesize such a good thing. If it succeeded, that would be fine, but if it ended up with one of the other two outcomes, it would be disastrous.

We can only place our hopes on the next set of cards.

The two cards flashed by, successfully combining to form a new card.

Having gone through so many synthesis attempts, he has roughly summarized the pattern: if he draws the "Great Fortune" card, synthesizing a C-grade card into a B-grade card is not a problem, and he has never failed so far.

This time his luck was a bit off; he only got a B-grade explosive tag pouch containing multiple explosive tags, equivalent to a B+ grade attack, which is now useless to him.

Perfect, it can be combined with [Theft].

In an instant, a small vortex formed in front of Lynn.

The [Theft] and [Explosive Talisman Bag] circulate within it, eventually merging into a brand new card.

【Name: Armament Haki】

[Rank: B]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: One Piece]

[Description: One of the special techniques originating from the world of One Piece, it can enhance one's own offensive and defensive capabilities, and even cover objects. This ability can evolve through training.]

A hint of delight flashed in Lynn's eyes. Armament Haki isn't bad either.

Although it was impossible to synthesize an A-rank card, Armament Haki is still quite valuable, since it can also be leveled up through training.

For example, the Observation Haki he acquired earlier has been successfully trained to B+ level, and the next level is A-.

A thought flashed through his mind, and he raised his hands to take a look. Since he was only at the beginner level of Armament Haki, his hands had not yet shown any color, but he could feel that they had become much harder.

He now possesses both types of Haki, making him a figure of considerable importance in the world of One Piece... Of course, that's only in the first half of the Four Seas and the Grand Line. In the latter half, the New World, his combat power has skyrocketed with each update.

Later on, even a random soldier would have dual-color Haki, and the meta has long since shifted to Mythical Zoan Devil Fruits and Conqueror's Haki.

The former balances numerical values ​​and mechanics, while the latter is a superior alternative to Armament Haki, with its Overlord's Binding technique having a much higher destructive power than Armament Haki.

After some adjustments, the panel has undergone some changes.

Name: Lynn

[Grade: A-]

[Character Cards: Capone Bege (B+), Chopper (B+), Gengar (B+), Yuki Onna (B), Erina Nakiri (B)]

[Ability Cards: Gourmet Cell (A-), Single-handed Assistance (A-), Fusion (B+), Substitute Scarecrow (B+), Observation Haki (B+), Armament Haki (B), Ice-Magic (B), Naval Rokushiki (C+), Alchemy Synthesis (C+)]

[Item Cards: Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck (A), Gourmet Tree (A-), Enemy Controller (B+), Fantasy Simulator Helmet (B+), Poké Ball (B+), Air Gun Potion (B+), Famous Sword Shusui (B+), Antidote (B-), Fortune Telling Tissue (C+), Seamless Stretch Box (C+)]

【Transaction Card: Long-Term Food Order (A)】

[Evaluation: A top-tier expert with considerable strength, a powerful Nen user, well-rounded abilities, and significant potential; their growth rate is not decreasing but increasing.]

The panel currently displays 25 cards. After careful calculation, Lynn realized that if the cards consumed are included, he already has 50 cards!

The 50 cards gave him A-level strength and extremely comprehensive abilities.

So what will it be like when he gets the 100th card?

Imagining that scene, Lynn couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He then went back to bed, put on his helmet, and prepared for the month's simulation.

He was so excited to have finally reached A- rank and couldn't wait to find an opponent to fight.

Summon Netero... no, summon the Ant King!

I'm going to take on ten!

……

The scene changes.

He still appeared in the spacious living room of his suite.

Gazing at the flickering lights in the distance, Lynn wondered who the enemy was this time. Of course, he had only joked about fighting the Ant King earlier…

Two seconds later, the white light dissipated, revealing a familiar figure.

"Um~ Can you tell me where this is?"

"Impressive, buddy."

Hisoka put his left hand on his hip and held a red king of hearts in his right hand to cover the lower half of his face, revealing only his long, narrow, and bewitching eyes as he sized up Lynn in front of him, specifically to examine his Nen.

Around 70 points... Hisoka mentally gave it a score.

I remember him just being in the Sky Arena, but now he's here.

He certainly had questions, but he also had a desire to fight the person in front of him.

Lynn looked at this incredibly familiar person with a blank expression.

It's Hisoka.

That's true. The helmet is a replica based on his memories, so it can only feature characters from the original work, which limits the possibilities. It's possible to draw Tonpa, or it could be Chrollo or Hisoka.

Thinking of how he was overwhelmed by Hisoka last time, Lynn's lips curled into a slight smile.

Things change every thirty years, from east to west.

Even though it was just a copy, it allowed him to vent his anger and see how far he was from Hisoka.

If nothing unexpected happens, his next stop will be the Heavens Arena, where he may face Hisoka in real life.

He is much stronger now than before, and he has the confidence to face Hisoka without fear. The result of this battle will further prove his chances of defeating Hisoka.

You could say it came at just the right time.

"Look at the way you're looking at me, something's off," Hisoka said, narrowing his eyes and noticing something amiss in Lynn's expression.

The other person seemed to know him?

But I have absolutely no memory of this person.

Hearing this phrase Hisoka had said to him before, Lynn recalled his experience that night, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face, a forced one:

"Hisoka, do you want to die?"

Chapter 96 Hisoka, have you always been this weak?

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn's expression turned cold, and a large amount of Nen energy burst forth from his body!

A vast and pure aura surged forth at this moment, like a flood pouring down, an astonishing aura descended, forming a powerful air pressure, and billowing dust spread outward from beneath his feet.

[Refine]!

In Hisoka's eyes, Lynn at this moment was both a dazzling light bulb and a fruit of good quality.

"Not bad Nen~" Hisoka's lips curled up, and his eyes looked at Lynn with even more greed, beginning to stir with desire.

Every step he takes now is difficult.

Therefore, he craves battle, and he needs to grow stronger through battle.

This is certainly not something that can be accomplished by just finding anyone to fight. It requires that both parties be interested and have sufficient skill. The person in front of us is quite good.

"Let's subdue him first, then interrogate him to find out what happened..." Hisoka thought to himself.

The next moment, Lynn shot out like an arrow, and a whooshing sound suddenly rose from the air.

His speed was so fast that he left only afterimages.

Lynn's right fist, imbued with considerable force, struck out like a ball of light.

In the blink of an eye, his right fist had already struck the opponent's face.

Hisoka smiled broadly, not retreating, but simply turning his head to the side.

The fist grazed past his shoulder, and Hisoka's palm was already on Lynn's forearm, then he applied force.

It's not about blocking, it's about guiding.

Lynn felt his center of gravity lean slightly forward, just slightly, but that was enough.

Hisoka smirked as his knee was about to strike Lynn in the abdomen.

This knee strike used a considerable amount of force.

Lynn remained expressionless; his Observation Haki had already given him a premonition.

As he lunged downwards, his left hand pressed down on his opponent's knee. Using the momentum, he sprang away like a spring, thereby increasing the distance between himself and Hisoka.

He glanced at his forearm... a love that didn't stretch or contract.

Because flexible love transforms the nature of thought into chewing gum, possessing stickiness and elasticity, it is not suitable for direct confrontation.

That's why Hisoka didn't use it just now, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to withstand the power of the punch.

Hisoka leaned back slightly, then hooked his right hand with his fingers.

He gestured for Lynn to come quickly.

He's just starting to enjoy it!

Lynn was not surprised. For someone like Hisoka, the better he performed, the more excited he became, which suited him perfectly.

Hisoka is happy now, but he won't be laughing in a moment.

As soon as he opened and closed his eyes, his body was instantly covered in snow-white, and a dense chill emanated from his body, turning the entire living room into an icebox in an instant. Hisoka was also covered in frost, and his reaction was inevitably reduced.

A combination of Transmutation and Conjuration? Hisoka took in the whole scene, and at the same time unleashed his Nen to shatter the ice on his body as much as possible.

Lynn seized the opportunity, stomped on the ground, and charged forward.

They closed in on Hisoka in an instant.

Because of his limited mobility, the latter could only cross his arms in front of his body to block the attack, and Lynn raised his hand and threw a punch.

Peng!

An astonishing force landed on his arm.

Hisoka frowned, involuntarily staggered back a distance by the force of the impact. The intensity was clearly a level higher than before, and his Nen almost failed to defend against it.
