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

What Hisoka didn't know was that Lynn's attack was also imbued with Armament Haki.

Then Lynn's offensive came down like a storm.

Hisoka simply kept dodging and defending.

The situation was completely reversed from what happened during the Hunter Exam.

Thanks to the "buff," Lynn fought very seriously in this battle and was in excellent form.

Fighting against a powerhouse like Hisoka, his Observation Haki and newly acquired Armament Haki are gradually improving.

Peng!

After several rounds, Lynn, who reacted quickly, took advantage of Hisoka's wide-open defense and kicked out with extraordinary speed.

Hisoka was struck in the abdomen and sent flying backward, tumbling in the air before landing with a triumphant smile.

With a flick of his left ring finger, Lynn's knee seemed to have a mind of its own, causing Lynn's entire body to become unsteady.

Taking advantage of the brief contact, for a moment his ring finger used its magical energy to extend and retract love, successfully sticking to Lynn.

"I was careless, buddy." Hisoka smiled slightly, his cheek swollen from being hit by Lynn's Armament Haki.

It must be admitted that Lynn's strength is indeed very impressive.

Judging solely from the level of Nen, he gave it a score of 70.

But as they began to fight, he discovered that Nen was actually Lynn's weakest point.

Lynn's advanced application techniques were quite proficient, in no way inferior to his. For example, with [Flow], every time he countered, Lynn was able to quickly flow his Nen to the required area.

He has good combat experience and is clearly skilled; he can often react quickly or even anticipate his attacks.

Furthermore, there were strange aspects to Lynn's attack.

power!

He was a veteran of countless battles and possessed an extremely accurate eye. Just by observing the skill level and the amount of Nen he possessed, he could roughly assess the power of the opponent's attack and then allocate enough Nen to defend against it.

In battles involving Nen users, Nen energy is undoubtedly precious, and every bit should be used wisely and not wasted.

Otherwise, if too much is allocated to defense, there will be insufficient resources for offense, and vice versa.

But Lynn was very strange; his attacks were always more powerful than expected. Because of this information gap, he made a mistake in his defense several times and was injured by Lynn.

This is the reason for Armament Haki.

Armament Haki is not a type of Nen, and Lynn's current skill level is not high enough to display color, which actually adds a layer of concealment, making it difficult for the enemy to figure out.

In other words, fighting Lynn cannot rely on previous experience; we must increase the power beyond what we have assessed, otherwise we simply cannot defend against the extra Armament Haki.

After a comprehensive evaluation, he gave Lynn a new score of 80.

This number is already quite high.

Fortunately, because the other party was unaware of his Nen ability, he successfully stuck to the flexible and adaptable Love.

Lynn remained expressionless as she looked at the pink Nen sticking to her knee and shook her head: "Is this the result of your meticulous planning?"

"How could I not know about love that can stretch and contract so easily?"

"The reason I dare to attack is because I am not afraid."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lynn used [Solo Assistance], instantly boosting his strength by two small stages, directly reaching A+ level.

boom!

Lynn suddenly opened his eyes, unleashing an incredibly pure Nen aura. The air seemed to be filled with black and red lightning, and the Nen aura, brimming with intense malice, permeated the living room.

At that moment, Hisoka's pupils shrank and his expression changed. 100, it's already over 100 points!

How can this be?

Could it be a constraint or a vow?

Or was he hiding his true abilities all along? Hisoka fell into self-doubt.

At that moment, Lynn felt that every part of his body had inexhaustible power, his body seemed to have been tempered for many years, and his mental energy was also extremely solid.

She's like a muscular woman who's quite old but still likes to act young, or an old assassin who kills once a day.

A+ level strength is really awesome! It even exceeded his expectations!

Immediately, Lynn simply pulled hard with his right leg, forcing Hisoka, who hadn't yet released his Nen ability, to fly towards him.

Hisoka's flexible love is fine against weak or equal opponents, like adding a controllable tug-of-war rope between two people. But when he encounters a stronger enemy, this rope becomes his disadvantage!

For example, at this moment, he was being controlled by his Nen ability to fly towards Lynn's direction.

Damn!

Hisoka hastily severed the Bending and Stretching Love, but he couldn't control the momentum and was still flying towards Lynn. He could only try to gather Nen in his hands to deal with any possible attacks that might come next.

Lynn remained expressionless, but gathered terrifying Nen energy in his hands, which suddenly formed an enormous ball of light.

boom!

Hisoka felt a blazing sun shine into his eyes, blinding him. The next moment, he was slammed to the ground, passing through multiple floors, like a tattered rag falling to the ground. He could barely open his eyes, his vision blurred.

Lynn jumped down and landed beside Hisoka, remarking with emotion:

"Hisso".

"Have you... always been this weak?"

Chapter Ninety-Seven: Rank B Card Magic! Gelu's Request!

Compared to A+ level, Hisoka is so weak.

This reflects both his current strength and his past weakness, when he could only run away with his head in his hands when facing Hisoka and had to rely on bombs for surprise attacks.

To avoid Hisoka coming after him, he had to deliberately avoid places like the Heaven's Arena, which were good for obtaining cards.

Now everything has changed.

In a friendly sparring match, he might not win, but he definitely won't die.

In this life-or-death battle, Hisoka is certain to die.

Even if Hisoka triggers his Afterlife Nen and tries to do sit-ups, Gengar can still show him who his father is.

After a moment of reflection, Lynn casually kicked Hisoka away, sending him to meet the former "Kuroro" and "Tompa".

Challenge Successful

[Card Reward: Card Magic (B)]

……

【Name: Card Magic】

[Rank: B]

[Type: Ability Card]

[Background: Fairy Tail]

[Description: A modified version of the card magic of the mage Cana, using psychic energy to create cards for attack. These cards can include ranged attacks and have their power amplified.]

Now he has finally earned the title of "Card Master".

As a card master, how can you be without card basic attacks?

Card magic can create cards that include ranged attacks and slightly amplify their original power.

With a thought, Lynn raised his hand and sent out five Nen cards that flew straight into the ground, simultaneously emitting cold air and growing several roses formed from ice.

After some trial and error, he roughly figured out the effects of the card magic. As the description said, the card itself is made of psychic energy and already has a certain strength. In addition, it can also include ranged attacks.

For example, the "Ice Shape Magic" and the "Naval Six Styles" finger gun magic can both be contained in cards.

Even the amplification effect of the [Air Gun Potion] did not disappear.

Because it is essentially still telekinesis and ice magic, just in the form of cards, and its power has been amplified.

However, the cards need to be released by hand, so ranged attacks that are released by foot, such as [Storm Kick], are not included.

Once he becomes more proficient in Armament Haki, he'll probably be able to incorporate it into cards and create Armament Haki cards.

Lynn was already quite satisfied, after all, it was just a card reward from the simulation battle, a B-grade card that was still quite useful, which was quite rare.

Back in the gym, Lynn did her daily workout while pondering her upcoming schedule.

I've spent enough time in the Gourmet Paradise. I've collected all the cards I needed and stockpiled a lot of high-end ingredients in Gengar's belly, so I won't be short of them for a while.

Moreover, there's the Gourmet Tree, which guarantees a steady supply of Gourmet Cards.

Overall, he still doesn't have enough cards, especially after obtaining [Fusion], his need for cards has increased to another level.

He needs higher-level cards to match his ever-increasing strength, so he should focus on A-level cards from now on.

The combination of [Divination Tissues] and [Alchemy Synthesis] results in 2C = 1B.

[Fusion] requires two B cards to synthesize, and there is only a one-third probability of synthesizing an A card, i.e., 6B ≈ 1A.

Since the effect of [Divination Paper Towel] on B-grade synthesis is currently uncertain, it is not included in this discussion.

This is just a rough theoretical calculation. Probability is hard to predict; it might succeed on the first try, or it might fail eight or ten times.

Therefore, he needs to acquire a large number of cards and build up A-level cards.

He has three reliable sources of cards.

[Gourmet Tree]: Guaranteed two C cards per month. If the food is supplied properly, there will be about three C cards and one B card. This requirement is not difficult and he can meet it.

[Yu-Gi-Oh! Deck]: Guaranteed one C-rank card every month, most likely a C or B-rank, with a small chance of an A-rank.

[Long-term food orders]: Guaranteed one B-level card per month.

The [Fantasy Simulation Helmet] is not stable enough, so it is not included.

In theory, he is guaranteed a minimum income of four C-level cards and two B-level cards each month, five of which are food cards.

Assuming you don't use it for food, then you have enough for two [fusions], meaning you have a two-thirds chance of getting an A-rank card each month.

However, you need to wait for the date to draw a "Great Fortune" card to guarantee that you can synthesize a B card from a C card. If you're unlucky, you might have to wait a week or two.

Food cells also need food cards to accelerate their growth; it's impossible to use them all for synthesis.

Furthermore, even if you synthesize a useful B card, it's not suitable for gambling...

Overall, Lynn estimates that he'll be lucky to get one A card every three or four months.

Therefore, we still need to strengthen the aspects of [location collection] and [defeating to collect]. Only by constantly going to new places can we obtain new cards. If we are lucky, we might even get an A card.

After a final week, he headed to the Sky Arena.

Lynn thought to herself.

But a few days later, a phone call from Gail changed his plans.

……

On a clear, bright day, an airship is flying across the vast sky, preparing to land.

Lynn sat by the window, looking down at the ever-expanding city through the round window, recalling Gail's request from about two weeks ago.

Gail comes from the Kingdom of Reges on the sixth continent. Although the Kingdom of Reges is not one of the V5, it is a well-known country located in the upper left corner of the sixth continent, adjacent to the Republic of Mingbo.

The Sky Arena is located within the Kingdom of Reges.

Amy, one of the princes of the Kingdom of Reges and considered a strong candidate to become the next king, is now plagued by a peculiar death wish for some reason, and his situation is very dire.

Gail is also a member of the royal family and has a close personal relationship with Amy, so she tries every possible way to solve the problem.

However, Amy's mental state was not only death consciousness, but also a special type, which left the royal family at a loss even after consulting several exorcists.

Finally, she pinned her hopes on the ingredients from the legendary Dark Continent in Gourmet Paradise and successfully obtained two fruits to return, but unfortunately, the results were unsatisfactory after the attempt.

Then she thought of Lynn, the exorcist who had shown amazing talent in exorcism, and issued him a commission, offering him 5 billion kynns and special exorcism tools as payment.

The reward was secondary; Lynn was also interested in what cards the Kingdom of Reges could generate, so he accepted the commission.
