Two days later, Silva returned.
Kaizen had left Heavens Arena after answering Silva's call, and the two met at a nearby hotel.
A massive sphere came into Kaizen's sight, draped under a heavy cloth. Silva removed the covering, revealing a mesmerizing, multicolored egg that shifted through shades of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and violet.
The red egg Kaizen obtained last time had been a single, fixed color. This one was entirely different.
"The main function of these colored eggs is to enhance physical strength," Silva explained. "You can eat them raw or cooked—it doesn't matter. But once you've eaten one, any subsequent consumption will have a much weaker effect."
Silva produced two large containers and approached the egg. With a precise flick of his fingers, he tapped it lightly, creating a small opening. Carefully, he poured the egg's liquid contents into the containers: one filled two-thirds full, the other one-third.
Kaizen had no complaints about the distribution. Silva had handled the dangerous task of eliminating the old monk, while Kaizen had only provided auxiliary support with his aura. Getting even a third of the egg's liquid was more than fair.
It reminded him of when Zeno sold him the Rotten Knife for 10 billion.
"You should drink it as soon as possible," Silva advised. "If it sits too long, its effectiveness will decline."
"By the way," Silva added, "the processing of Ganlu Temple is complete. The Mafia Community showed interest in it and have already claimed ownership. In return, they compensated us handsomely—a total of 20 billion Jenny and a monster.
"The monster's value far exceeds the money. As for the Jenny, let's split it evenly—10 billion each."
Kaizen raised an eyebrow. He hadn't expected Ganlu Temple to fetch such a high price. For the Zoldyck family, its worth was limited, they lacked the manpower to station anyone there permanently. But for an organization like the Mafia Community, it was a prime asset, capable of becoming a new stronghold.
"Uncle Silva, transfer my 10 billion share directly to Grandpa Zeno. I still owe him that amount."
"Understood."
Kaizen didn't waste time. Picking up the container, he gulped down the egg liquid without hesitation. Surprisingly, it lacked any unpleasant fishy taste—it was almost like drinking water.
As the liquid settled in his stomach, a warm sensation spread through his abdomen, radiating outward to his limbs and head.
The feeling was familiar, similar to when he consumed the red egg, but far more potent. The colored egg's energy was not only stronger but also more balanced across all aspects of enhancement.
Kaizen drank until the container was empty.
"It's getting late," Silva said. "You should head back."
"Alright."
The two parted ways—Kaizen returning to Heavens Arena, while Silva went to keep an eye on Killua from the shadows.
...
A Month Later
Kaizen was deep into intense training. Standing on the outskirts of the city, he practiced techniques like Ren, Gyo, Ko, and Ken, relentlessly honing his abilities.
Under the rigorous regimen of full-throttle training, his progress skyrocketed. High-intensity practice had imprinted muscle memory, while hours of reflection and analysis in his room further refined his skills.
In one particular session, Kaizen focused on compressing his aura. He channeled it into his hands, steadily condensing it into a small, dense sphere.
Sweat dripped from his brow as he pushed himself to the limit. Suddenly, a breakthrough occurred—a crisp sensation, as though a barrier had shattered.
Kaizen glanced at his right hand, where the aura sphere now pulsed with stability instead of fluctuating wildly.
"Like Naruto mastering the Rasengan," he muttered with a smirk, testing the newly refined aura bomb.
Taking aim at a distant hillside, Kaizen launched the sphere.
"Boom!"
The explosion echoed across the landscape, leaving a flattened, hollowed-out crater where the hillside had stood.
Ignoring the devastation, Kaizen concentrated on the feeling of the technique.
"Finally, 90% mastery of Ko," he said, satisfaction evident in his tone.
Reaching such a level with high-level Nen skills was no small feat. Though it had taken nearly half a year, Kaizen's progress was exceptional—something even Silva acknowledged.
Kaizen reflected on his achievements. After unlocking his unique Nen ability, he had rapidly gained Killer Queen and Raiken. In less than a month, he had reached new heights in aura manipulation and combat readiness.
But this time was different. For the first time, Kaizen had devoted himself entirely to improving his body and Nen techniques. He trained, fought, and tested himself relentlessly, putting other pursuits—like his Nen Beast—on hold.
"My overall strength has increased significantly," he assessed. "Physically, I've improved a lot. Skills like Ren, Ken, Ko, Gyo, and En are at 90% completion. And my aura bomb technique has become a viable weapon, almost as powerful as a rocket launcher."
Kaizen exhaled deeply, feeling a sense of closure.
"This phase of training is finally over. Now, it's time to head to the Taris Kingdom and create my fifth Nen Beast."
