Seeing this, Wing also wiped the sweat from his forehead, finally calming down...
He glanced at Oboro out of the corner of his eye, this was the first time he had observed the man up close, and then... he stared at his angry master.
He knew his master too well...
It was always Biscuit who teased others, and it was the first time he had seen someone who could handle his master.
"He's a little... not simple."
Wing pushed up his glasses, the lenses reflecting the light, and thought to himself.
Time passed by little by little.
Oboro completely relaxed. Just as he thought... he had no matches to fight.
In the few matches that were arranged later, all the Nen users he encountered conceded or forfeited without exception.
But... what the Heavens Arena doesn't lack is... newcomers.
A large number of fighters flood into here every day, and likewise... there will be newcomers who reach the 200th floor, including some hot-blooded young people.
So... Oboro wasn't worried about this.
In addition, Wing had finally reached the 200th floor.
During this time, every time he watched a match, he would sit with Wing and have simple discussions and exchanges...
As for Biscuit, she seemed to be avoiding Oboro, who was an eyesore, and didn't show up much.
According to Wing, she went shopping every day, either buying clothes or looking for gem merchants...
Oboro's pace also began to slow down.
He practiced new martial arts... including body techniques, footwork, and leg techniques, to enrich his attacking moves.
Among them were the body techniques and footwork. It was worth mentioning that body techniques and footwork were two different paths.
The speed of learning martial arts was slow before because he didn't lay a good foundation. Now that he had experience, plus his physical strength was not weak...
Therefore, he picked it up quickly. Oboro estimated that it would take about a year to master several new martial arts.
In the future, as his body became stronger and his combat experience and understanding of martial arts increased, he would master other new moves faster and faster.
Don't underestimate martial arts. Nen users are certainly powerful, but when everyone has the blessing of Nen, martial arts, which are already one of the hard powers, will highlight their value.
You must know that when Netero was young, he also challenged countless martial arts schools...
Furthermore, the assassination techniques of the Zoldyck family are actually a crystallization of fighting skills.
After having a solid martial arts foundation, Oboro might be able to 'learn at a glance' some simple martial arts moves in the future.
Just like Ging Freecss, he could understand the principles of various Nen abilities with a glance and then imitate them.
All of this required a huge amount of experience to support it.
The accumulation of foundation could also allow Oboro to easily judge his opponent's attacking style and strengths and weaknesses, making it easier to see through the target's weaknesses.
He wanted to understand the 'human body'!
Starting with himself first!
He waited for almost two months before welcoming his new opponent.
It was a new face.
He didn't recognize him.
He should have just reached the 200th floor.
At first glance, this person looked like a sumo wrestler, and when facing him, his face was full of nervousness when facing a 'senior'.
Oboro didn't use Nen abilities, but simply played with him for a while using Nen techniques. Even so, this person still seemed very difficult, and was constantly hit and scored by Oboro, looking particularly embarrassed.
A group of old-timers under the stage, seeing this scene, all gloated.
Even they, these old birds, avoided Oboro, and this fat man dared to fight Oboro?
Was he looking for death?
However, what made them dumbfounded was that even though his opponent had been beaten to the point where he couldn't stand up... Oboro actually raised his hand and conceded!
Some people even thought that Oboro would kill the newcomer...
After all, with the previous examples of Eshimizu and Marcos, everyone didn't think that Oboro was a soft-hearted guy.
After personally watching Oboro put his hands in his pockets, lazily raise his hand to concede, and take the initiative to jump off the stage, the host and the audience at the scene were also stunned...
Nen users who reached the 200th floor all had one goal, which was to strive for victories and become a floor master.
They were giving away points that were right in front of them, but he didn't want them!
Some people had noticed the problem!
And it was certified in the following period of time.
Oboro was playing... Or rather, he was purely using his opponents as guinea pigs, slowly familiarizing himself with the timing and application of releasing Nen techniques in battle, because he no longer showed that Nen ability that was difficult to grasp the essence of, 'The Game Trove of the Endless Illusionist!'
His losses also increased, most of which were his own concessions... In three matches, there was also one match where he failed to gain the upper hand after using his techniques, and could be considered to have lost to the other party's Nen ability.
In that match, Oboro's opponent... was also a veteran Nen user who had just arrived at the Heavens Arena and was showing his talent, and was very skilled.
Although he lost... he didn't lose badly, because the old birds understood that Oboro was serious, but not that serious... They had seen Oboro's serious side.
Just when everyone thought that Oboro would challenge the floor master, and even had a chance to become a floor master, this guy was eliminated because of the rules, and had to start all over again from the bottom.
Then, not long after... Oboro appeared on the 200th floor again.
At this point... outsiders understood that this kid wasn't here to pursue the fame and reputation that martial artists valued so much, but to 'gain experience', treating the 200th floor as a 'private training ground'!
If one could become famous in the Heavens Arena, whether it was due to a fighting background or being a Nen user, there was a possibility of creating their own school... which was crucial for future development.
In some people's hearts, the Heavens Arena was very sacred, with a different meaning and spiritual symbol.
And Oboro's actions naturally made other contestants quite critical... Their faces were burning.
But no one dared to say it out loud.
No one wanted to get burned.
Unsurprisingly, a month later, Oboro was eliminated again...
Then, he appeared again...
Under normal circumstances, Nen users who are eliminated on the 200th floor, knowing that their level is not good enough, will not challenge again...
They will definitely go out to practice for a period of time, a year or several years, and after having a certain amount of confidence, they will come back to seek revenge.
Because the arena on the 200th floor is too dangerous, if they insist on doing so, they might die on the stage in some match.
And those who have strength, after becoming a floor master, naturally no longer have the need to stay.
Very few people would be like Oboro...
In addition, the current Heavens Arena doesn't restrict the number of registrations like it does in later generations.
The old birds on the 200th floor saw Oboro's intentions, but the audience couldn't understand. What they wanted to see was the 'invincible' Suit Thug, not one concession after another.
So, gradually... Oboro's reputation also began to plummet, and his fan base was not as large as before.
Making the Suit Thug a bit of a 'legend' that had passed away...
The Heavens Arena also began to vigorously promote newcomers. This storm didn't last long, and everyone's attention shifted to the new 'dark horse'.
That's just how reality is, the waves behind push the waves ahead... Newcomers with explosive points will always win attention.
People get tired of seeing old people...
The commonality of humans is to like the new and dislike the old.
However, Oboro did this not only to train his Nen techniques, but also to make money...
His bank account balance was increasing every day...
Because in this kind of one-on-one arena, he could completely control the victory or defeat freely.
Although the odds were not as high as they were at the beginning, he could earn a little if he could.
Who would dislike their money?
Having a certain amount of assets was also more beneficial to his future plans.
If he joined the Hunter Association and became a Hunter in a certain professional direction, there would be many places to spend money in the process of completing tasks and achievements, and each expenditure would not be a small amount...
To be prepared for a rainy day, it was natural to make the family fortune more substantial.
The 'professional expenses' of Hunters were by no means something that ordinary people could imagine...
...
One year later, in the arena on the 200th floor.
The host enthusiastically announced the winner of the current match, Wing.
On the stage, Wing smiled, wiped the sweat from his cheeks, and bowed to his fainted opponent, very humbly.
Oboro leaned on the railing of the aisle, yawning.
In this year, Wing had played a total of eleven matches, 8 wins and 3 losses, which was not bad.
He spent more time following Biscuit's teachings, absorbing combat experience, and training little by little.
As for Oboro, he had played so many matches that he couldn't even remember the number, because later he found out that he could get victories from him, and more and more people were challenging him...
Oboro was naturally happy about this, the increase in the amount of combat was exactly what he needed.
"You came up again..."
Wing had noticed his figure early on, and didn't return directly to the passage.
After leaving the stage and waiting for the audience to disperse, he walked straight to Oboro and raised his hand to greet him.
After speaking, Wing shook his head and smiled wryly.
It seemed that... Oboro had just fought his way up again.
He couldn't remember how many times this was... Anyway, he was used to it.
His master Biscuit had said that Oboro was strengthening himself through an astonishing number of battles and the intensity of the matches, like a dry sponge, endlessly absorbing water.
This kind of training intensity was something that ordinary people couldn't bear... because their body and energy would not be able to keep up.
Also, Oboro was able to 'control the match', and even if he really encountered an expert who was far stronger than him, he could guarantee that he wouldn't die and could retreat safely.
This was very important.
Biscuit also emphasized that he was not Oboro, and what suited him better was to take it one step at a time and solidify his foundation...
He wasn't pursuing speed, but a certain degree of 'slowness', to integrate what he had learned.
As for Oboro... he was an outlier.
Only Oboro could enjoy and complete this kind of arena fighting... It wasn't suitable for Wing.
"Your strength has improved a lot..."
