Seeing Oboro's confused expression, Wing quietly walked up and whispered in his ear: "Master doesn't like people seeing her real appearance... and she doesn't want to maintain that state for a long time, she cares a lot about her appearance..."
"..." Oboro.
One punch…
Even if one punch was very strong, he should be fine, right?
Oboro nodded slightly, maximizing the output and technique of Nen.
Then, he watched Biscuit's petite body begin to swell, and even though he had prepared himself mentally, Oboro still felt shocked.
Thick thighs, strong arms... even her soft facial features became firm.
Her whole body was full of tough lines...
Oboro thought that his body was honed pretty well, but compared to Biscuit, he immediately felt that he was more than one level weaker.
An indescribable pressure came over him.
"Ready?"
Biscuit's tall physique, which almost burst her clothes, was very impactful.
Her right arm was bulging with blood vessels, and her Nen power surged wildly. The pressure that was released made Oboro change his expression.
This was a feeling he had never had before... The vibrating air was like sharp knives, stimulating his pores.
Boom!
A gust of wind hit, causing Wing, who was nearby, to raise his hand to block his face. He only had time to see the Nen energy that the two of them released collide together.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh...
Immediately, a figure wrapped in smoke and dust flew out, it was Oboro.
His body rolled in the air, swept out seven or eight meters before landing, his feet sinking deep into the soil, drawing a furrow tens of meters long, still unable to stop the impact of inertia... until he finally crashed into a tree trunk, did he stabilize himself.
Oboro's suit had exploded into strips of cloth...
His two arms, crossed like a shield, were tinged with blue, trembling slightly, and emitting bursts of white heat...
And under his arms were Oboro's incredulous eyes.
He had caught it!
But he hadn't caught it!
The old woman hadn't held back and had used her full strength.
He had caught it, he had blocked the punch.
He hadn't caught it, if he and the old woman were to fight to the death, he might have to endure dozens, or even hundreds of such attacks!
"Why?"
Oboro frowned, thinking in his heart.
Even if Biscuit's aura and body were above him, even if the old woman had lived for decades longer than him, she couldn't have caused him such damage... Because Biscuit wasn't an Enhancer, but a Transmuter!
This punch didn't have any tricks...
"Hehe."
Over there, Biscuit returned to her young girl appearance, noticed the change in Oboro's expression, and happily patted the dust off her gloves.
"You don't understand, do you? I didn't use any profound techniques or moves, your reaction was fast enough, and your defensive Nen was perfect, everything was good... but you still suffered obvious damage."
"Want to know?"
Biscuit showed a sly smile.
"Master..."
Wing knew her nature and saw that Biscuit was deliberately selling out, arousing Oboro's desire to know... He couldn't help but try to persuade her.
After all, Oboro had helped him.
And he was a friend.
"Tch."
Biscuit rolled her eyes at Wing, cleared her throat, and her expression became serious: "Your understanding of Nen is very deep, and your use and techniques of Nen, including the development of Nen abilities... are impeccable... But there is only one thing."
"You don't have a 'heart'!"
"Your sensitivity to aura, your understanding of energy... all of this is external! The essence of Nen is not only a change in form... it is more related to the user's inner self! The origin of spiritual will... 'heart', Nen is a part of life, it is something that belongs to the individual... it belongs to you, but you... have you really given it a response?"
"My punch just now, before I punched, I had the belief that I would send you flying, this intention was pure... without any distractions. If you had also held the will of 'I will definitely defend it' just now, I wouldn't dare say you could stabilize yourself, but at least the damage would be much smaller... 'Nen' will give you a response! Although the Nen power I released was more than yours, your Nen shouldn't have been scattered with one impact... as brittle as paper! It's not that your Nen is not good, but at its root, there is no 'heart' to support it!"
"But, I'll say you passed!"
After speaking, Biscuit skipped away, calling out to Wing, "Let's go, let's go back."
"Huh?"
Wing was stunned.
They were leaving already?
"Hurry up!"
Biscuit urged, looked back at the stunned Oboro, thought for a while, and still said, "Everyone has a heart... It's not only a manifestation of will! It's also a kind of sincerity, a kind of belief, sincerity and belief in yourself and in Nen... It doesn't emphasize talent, it doesn't emphasize potential, everyone's starting point is the same, it can't be trained, and there's no shortcut... You can only experience it and go through it in the long life... You have a long way to go in the future, learn slowly... With your growth potential, that day won't be too long!"
She had been observing Oboro in the Heavens Arena, so... she was very clear about the potential of this junior, and also knew what he needed.
With Oboro's understanding of Nen, she didn't need to make things too clear.
"Oboro, we're leaving first."
Wing looked back every three steps and waved his hand.
But Oboro stood under the tree, unmoved.
Biscuit's words made the scene of Netero swinging his fist when he was young appear in his mind...
He forgot... Every time he swung his fist, the old man had a heart of gratitude.
There was also the scene of Hisoka inserting his hand into his heart and being resurrected in the Heavens Arena.
His attention had been overly focused on techniques and abilities in recent years, thereby forgetting this point.
He should have remembered it...
This was also what he knew...
"Yeah... The most basic 'heart'... Why... did I forget it..." Oboro murmured.
"Hehehehehe... Hahahahaha..."
Then, Oboro suddenly laughed like a madman, his laughter getting louder and louder, as if he was going crazy.
"Interesting! Too interesting!"
"Ah~~"
"I simply... love this world to death!!"
There's something going on during the day, a small 5k, I'll post it in advance, don't say it's short~~
There's more tonight.
Oboro left the city on a fishbone airship.
Preparing to go to a mountainous city in the Republic of Padokea region, where there was a preliminary selection point for this year's Hunter Exam.
Some information could be found online...
Unless there were special circumstances... the Hunter Exam was held once a year.
For ordinary people, although they were not familiar with or understood 'Nen', their concept and longing for 'Hunters' was deeply rooted, and they were considered a certification of 'strong, professional'!
Don't underestimate the word Hunter. If you could become a Hunter... you would have great employment prospects and directions.
Currently, most of the members managed by the Hunter Association were employed in some organizations or groups at the social level, or they had their own business teams.
For example, Mizaistom Nana, one of the Zodiacs, was an operating lawyer for a private security company.
Hunters were involved in all aspects of life.
Of course... special professions were another matter, like Ging Freecss, a ruins hunter... or Kite, who was engaged in biological research.
Having Nen certainly helped a lot in improving strength... But you couldn't ignore the 'professionalism of Hunters' because of this.
They were all people who specialized in a certain field.
As for the level... it varied.
The reason why the Hunter Exam blocked information about 'Nen' was mainly because it was impossible to determine a person's character.
After all, as long as you were strong, you could get a Hunter License... But if you learned Nen easily, and this person's character was not good, it was very likely to cause some serious consequences, which would have a huge impact on society.
The number of examinees taking the Hunter Exam every year was not small.
Furthermore, learning Nen and then cultivating it was a relatively 'private and personal' growth process...
Under normal circumstances, after obtaining a Hunter License, the way for newcomers to come into contact with Nen was to find a 'senior'.
And each senior had the responsibility of inheriting, cultivating, and supervising... The senior would evaluate you and decide whether you were qualified to become a Nen user and whether your character was good enough.
In this way, the appearance of some 'bad guys' could be greatly reduced...
These were all things that Oboro had heard Wing mention.
However, this was just a normal situation. The methods and opportunities to learn Nen varied from person to person... and were not absolute.
There was still half a month before the preliminary selection... There was no need for him to rush too much.
It took him two days to reach his destination.
The area it occupied was ten times smaller than Glam Gas Land, and there were very few people...
The atmosphere of life here had basically nothing to do with prosperity, but rather more like a quiet and leisurely place to live.
The architectural style was relatively similar to ancient Roman style, and the buildings were not high.
The city was surrounded by mountains and forests, and the climate was pleasant, not as hot as it was in Glam Gas Land.
