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

Perhaps because Kurapika is a member of his own race, he doesn't feel anything, but as an outsider, he can feel a distinct sense of oppression when he gets close.

This place seems to be in the very center of the entire secret realm. In front of the numerous small hills, there is a large stone tablet with lines of strange and unusual characters carved on it.

At least Lynn could tell that it wasn't the common language of the six continents, but rather the script of the Kurta tribe, and the words on it should be a type of prayer.

Beside him, Kurapika stood quietly before the large stone monument, a pair of fiery red eyes silently appearing, and he began to slowly chant:

The sun in the sky, green trees on the ground

Our bodies were born on the earth.

Our souls come from heaven.

Sunlight and moonlight illuminate our limbs

……

I wish I could share their sorrow.

Please always praise the Kuluta people.

Let us bear witness with our fiery red eyes.

Kurapika was mourning his fallen kin, and his emotions seemed to take on a physical form at that moment... It won't be long before he learns his skills from Master Lynn and then seeks revenge!

"Is something wrong?" Kurapika asked curiously, snapping out of his reverie as he noticed his master staring at the sky above the grave.

“You could think of it as negative emotions. Your people generated a lot of negative emotions when they died, and these accumulated into dark energy that is floating above the graves,” Lynn explained simply in language that anyone could understand. “If you need, I can clear away this energy.”

In fact, there are some thoughts of death lingering throughout the entire secret realm, but the thoughts of death are most obvious in the graveyard.

Upon hearing this, Kurapika became agitated again. Thinking of the suffering his people had endured, his eyes turned red again. After a few breaths, he slowly regained his composure and said sadly, "Then I'll leave it to you, Master... I thank you on behalf of my people."

Lynn nodded slightly, and then Gengar emerged from the shadows and began to inhale Death Thought in large gulps in mid-air.

After absorbing all the death thoughts, Gengar will likely experience a significant boost; such a good opportunity is rare.

In Kurapika's eyes, it was just a strange-looking creature that emerged from his master's shadow, floating in the air and eating air.

Lynn explained first, "It's one of my abilities, and I'll tell you all about it next."

"But before that, there's something I need to tell you."

"You know how many members the Phantom Troupe has, right?"

Kurapika nodded and said, "There are 13 members in total, corresponding to a spider's brain and twelve legs."

"In fact, I fought two members of the Phantom Troupe last year."

“I killed one person on the spot, and the other became my puppet,” Lynn said casually.

Chapter 140 A-Rank Three-Tomoe Sharingan! The Whereabouts of the Shadow!

Master... once fought against the Phantom Troupe?

It was impossible not to be shocked. Kurapika really hadn't expected that his master had already encountered members of the Phantom Troupe before, and even killed two of them.

He believed that becoming a puppet was no different from being killed.

Previously, he hadn't fully grasped how powerful his master was, but after hearing this, he seemed to understand a bit more.

The Phantom Troupe is a notorious Class A criminal organization with a considerable reputation worldwide, yet Master was able to fight two of them single-handedly and even capture one of them alive.

However, when Kurapika thought about his master's performance on the neighboring island during the fourth round of exams, he felt that it was perfectly reasonable, and he didn't think his master would lie to him; there was no need for him to.

"Master! On behalf of the Kurta tribe, I express my gratitude to you!" Kurapika said sincerely, his eyes red with emotion.

The Phantom Troupe only has 13 members in total. His master has already killed 2 of them. This good news made him very excited. He thought that his clansmen in the underworld would also feel gratified.

"Don't mention it. In fact, I was just acting in self-defense," Lynn casually explained the whole story.

Kurapika only then realized that his master had been inexplicably targeted by members of the Phantom Troupe and had turned the tables on them.

This is their just desserts.

Such arrogant behavior will inevitably lead to death at the hands of others. Indeed, the knight-errant and Franklin met their end at the hands of their master.

Regardless, Kurapika was filled with gratitude upon learning that his master had killed two of his enemies. He already respected Lynn.

Lynn suspected that if Kurapika could see the favorability bar, his favorability towards him would probably be maxed out by now.

"Kurapika, your time is running out." Lynn returned to the main topic, his tone serious. "Although I've used the puppets to conceal the truth for now, the truth will eventually come out."

"The Phantom Troupe hasn't had a group activity for over two years. Maybe they'll reunite this year, and then the truth will come out. It will also be time for us to face them."

"You don't need to worry too much about my life and safety. I can tell you clearly that with my current strength, even if the entire Phantom Troupe attacked me alone, they couldn't do anything to me."

"But if you don't have time to grow up, you won't be able to take revenge yourself, so if you want to take revenge yourself, you have to cherish every minute and every second of the present."

Lynn's words surprised Kurapika once again.

He subconsciously swallowed, staring blankly at Lynn in front of him, thinking to himself that he had underestimated his master once again.

So Master's strength had reached such a high level that even the entire Phantom Troupe couldn't do anything to him... Although he didn't understand Nen users, he could tell that this was definitely a very powerful level.

"Yes! I will definitely try my best! No matter how much it costs, I will do it!" Kurapika said resolutely, coming back to his senses.

The master's strength comes from his own hard work, and even if he is the disciple, he cannot ask the master to do anything because of that.

His master was already doing him a great favor by accepting him as a disciple and imparting his abilities. He had no right to ask for more, so he still wanted to work hard and take revenge with his own strength.

But he had to admit that after learning how powerful his master was, he felt more secure and trusting. Becoming a disciple of Master Lynn was definitely the best thing he had ever done.

Seeing Kurapika's fighting spirit ignited, Lynn nodded slightly.

That's the kind of belief we need.

Kurapika needs to become stronger for him to get cards more effectively.

He was also hoping that Kurapika would drop a good card for him, and after becoming one of the twelve earthly branches, he would also drop a talisman so that he could cultivate the fruit from scratch and have multiple uses for one fruit.

It's much better than Hisoka's old fruit, whose strength is already fixed.

Perfect timing! He needed to cast a spell here and let Gengar absorb Death Spirit, so he decided to stay here for a while.

During this period, he first taught Kurapika what Nen was, and then began basic physical training.

Comparatively speaking, Kurapika has a much better foundation than Leorio, but even so, he still has a lot of potential to be explored.

Spend two or three months developing your body, then hone your skills in the Heavens Arena until you reach the 200th floor. Then you can use Nen on Kurapika like Leorio.

With his intervention, it's impossible for Kurapika to set up constraints and oaths like in the original story, wasting his talent in order to shorten his growth time. He wants Kurapika to fully utilize his talent, or even enhance it.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.

An open space within the secret realm.

Kurapika was running with a rock about three meters high on his back. His breathing was steady, his gaze was firm, and every step he took was quite solid.

Despite it being only half a month, with Lynn's grueling training and exceptional logistical support, Kurapika's physical abilities improved by leaps and bounds, growing at a visible rate.

Bisge is already the ace mentor in the Hunter world, but it's no exaggeration to say that, with his abilities and resources, he can achieve far greater results than Bisge in training apprentices.

With high-quality food provided daily, professional medical personnel Chopper on standby at all times, and a master proficient in various skills... with such a luxurious lineup, even a hopeless case can be turned into something great.

Although it wasn't good for Leorio to say that, Lynn couldn't help but sigh that his second apprentice had much higher potential than his first apprentice, and that his potential was already evident in the basic training before he even started using Nen.

As he observed Kurapika's training progress, the last card in the ability bar arrived.

Perhaps due to the special nature of the secret realm, or the relatively small space, the time required this time was not as long as before. It was similar to the characteristic bar in Jeram City, and the loading bar was completed in just half a month.

Lynn eagerly looked at the last card.

Prior to this, three cards had already been revealed in the feature bar, and as expected, they were the Sharingan he had guessed, and all of them were C+ grade one-tomoe Sharingan, which can be described as a large number of Sharingan appearing.

It is evident that the Kurta clan indeed corresponds to the Uchiha settlement.

Although the one-tomoe Sharingan can be continuously upgraded, once a pair of eyes are bound together, other Sharingan cannot be used unless they are destroyed.

So he didn't use it immediately, but waited for the last card to finish loading, hoping to get a better option.

【Name: Three-Tomoe Sharingan】

[Grade: A]

[Type: Item Card]

[Background: Naruto]

[Introduction: A unique bloodline limit of the Uchiha clan, it merges with the user's eyes after use. If destroyed, it can be replaced with a new Sharingan. It has three main effects: Effect 1: Enhanced vision, making it easier to perceive others' movements and Nen flow. Effect 2: Copying, allowing for rapid memorization and imitation of others' actions, such as taijutsu and Nen techniques. Effect 3: Genjutsu, with proficiency, allowing the user to learn some genjutsu and manipulate others.]

A-rank card!

His wait was worthwhile; the last card was a three-tomoe Sharingan!

This is already the highest level in the eyes of ordinary Sharingan.

The Sharingan is divided into the following levels from low to high: one-tomoe, two-tomoe, three-tomoe, Mangekyou, and Eternal Mangekyou.

Here, the Sharingan can be upgraded in two ways.

Method 1: Intense emotional fluctuations.

Method 2: Master the use and application of a large amount of breath control.

It's hard to say about the former. It might be a little easier before reaching the third tomoe, but to break through from the third tomoe to the Mangekyou Sharingan, it's basically impossible without losing a sibling, relative, or friend.

He has no relatives or friends in this world. Apart from the character cards that can be resurrected, he only has a few friends and apprentices. It is difficult for him to have a strong emotional fluctuation... Perhaps the probability of him breaking through the Kaleidoscope is even higher if he feels the threat of death.

After all, not everyone is as gifted as Obito, who can transform from a two-tomoe Sharingan to a Mangekyou Sharingan in a second.

By using intense emotional fluctuations like love and hate to strengthen oneself, one has a very high probability of changing their personality after opening the eyes.

For example, Obito was a child who loved to help old ladies cross the street when he was young, but he later became completely corrupted after being provoked.

It's no wonder that the Second Hokage, Tobirama, would say something like "the evil Uchiha," as it stems from the underlying logic of the Uchiha clan.

Fortunately, his Sharingan differs from the original and is less affected by negative emotions. There is a second way to upgrade it; if he masters it and possesses a large amount of Nen, he can also improve his Sharingan level.

Obtaining the three-tomoe Sharingan is certainly something to be happy about, but he will naturally want to go further and upgrade to the Mangekyou Sharingan, the Eternal Mangekyou Sharingan, and it's not impossible that he will even get the Rinnegan in the future.

Because this is the Hunter world, the effects of the three-tomoe Sharingan are somewhat affected.

Although it also has the three abilities of [Insight], [Copy], and [Illusion], it can only copy other people's physical movements and skills, and cannot copy Nen abilities like it can copy Ninjutsu.

Nen abilities are more like some of the secret techniques in Naruto, abilities that the Sharingan cannot replicate.

I can't do it with at least three tomoe yet; maybe I'll have a chance when I get the Kaleidoscope Sharingan.

Without much hesitation, Lynn chose to use the three-tomoe Sharingan, which transformed from an item card into an ability card.

With a slight thought, his originally dark and deep eyes turned a blood-red color, with three tomoe-shaped patterns slowly rotating within them.

Suddenly, the world before my eyes changed, becoming clearer and brighter. Kurapika's running figure in the distance, leaves falling in the breeze... everything seemed to slow down, and every detail was clearly visible.

This is the insightful ability possessed by the three-tomoe Sharingan.

Lynn tried it for a while, then turned it off, and his eyes returned to normal. From now on, he was also a member of the "colored contact lens" family.

Besides the three-tomoe Sharingan, he still has three pairs of one-tomoe Sharingan. The number seems like a lot, but this is likely the limit he can have. They are essentially non-renewable resources, so each pair must be used with caution.

Having gained new power, Lynn was in high spirits and opened the panel to take a look.

Unbeknownst to many, he had already acquired considerable strength and possessed a thick stack of cards, giving people a great sense of security.

During this period, he also sacrificed some cards, upgrading [Water Stream Rock Smash Fist] to A- rank and [Divination Paper Towel] to B+ rank.

Upgrading is a good ability. If he could, he would like to upgrade every card to A-rank or even S-rank. Unfortunately, he still has too few cards. Even if he sacrifices the less useful cards, he doesn't get many points.
