"Ah!"
Killua suddenly realized and sat up, pounding his fist into his palm. "Master Yun means that as long as Oboro sets his mind on a target, he won't give up, right?"
Gon looked embarrassed, secretly thinking that Killua's perspective on Oboro was a bit too obvious.
Yun's meaning was clear: for someone as strong as Oboro, only the result matters… To achieve their goals or dreams, they don't care about the process, and anything that happens along the way won't affect them.
And Oboro's personal traits are very strong. Maybe other top Nen users, when faced with obstacles, would take a different route and avoid negative ripple effects. But Oboro is different… His style of doing things is highly consistent with his personal Nen, aura, and will.
"By the way, Killua, isn't your father also a Hunter?" Gon suddenly remembered something.
"You mean Ging…"
Killua awkwardly scratched his head. "Honestly, I don't know much about Ging. I only heard about him from my family..."
"Ging? Ging Freecss?"
Yun was momentarily stunned.
"Yeah, Killua's father… So? Is he very powerful?" Gon noticed Yun's expression and asked curiously.
"Let's put it this way… Actually, my understanding of Oboro only goes back to many years ago, when he left the Sky Arena. As for his current true level, I'm not very sure. My recent assessment of Oboro and Hisoka is just based on my own subjective judgment. But judging from the status of Ging Freecss and Oboro within the Hunter Association, they're about the same… Although Killua's father is only a Two-Star Hunter, he joined the Association quite early… with considerable seniority… just a bit notorious..."
Yun pushed his glasses.
"Hmm, Oboro also said himself that he personally admits Ging's strength is very strong!"
Killua nodded in agreement.
Snap!
Gon reached out and cheerfully patted Killua on the shoulder. "Not bad, kid! I didn't expect your old man to be so powerful!"
Gon doesn't know Ging Freecss, but he knows Oboro.
Being acknowledged by Oboro, and having a similar status as a Nen user, that's definitely not far off.
Hehe…
Killua looked a little embarrassed.
"Really envious of them… They're so strong. If one day I could stand shoulder to shoulder with them and travel the world on adventures, that would be just perfect," Killua sighed, then collapsed softly onto the floor. "When I was little, Aunt Mito told me that Ging was very special, capable of doing many things that even village elders couldn't do… Oboro is the same. I've seen some miraculous scenes of him practicing in the forest…"
Yun listened to this and smiled knowingly.
"You two are still very young, and I can guarantee that Oboro, at your age, definitely isn't at your level… He might not even surpass Chrollo. So, youth is your greatest capital. Your future is full of endless possibilities."
He comforted them.
"That's for sure! In just a few years, Gon and I will be able to defeat those kinds of guys… right?"
Gon puffed up a bit, full of enthusiasm, looking at his partner.
Killua also flashed a row of bright white teeth.
"Alright, enough rest… I believe you can do it. But right now… we still need to continue practicing. Try to release your aura according to your consciousness, with rhythm and intention. Don't let it scatter. It must be condensed into a form of energy you can use."
"This is also a test and growth of your will… To become an outstanding Nen user, you must make your 'release' as free and as natural as possible. Keep going… for another half hour."
Yun clapped his hands, encouraging his three young disciples.
"Ah!"
Hearing that they still had half an hour left, Gon's eyes twitched.
Killua also looked a bit bitter.
"Do you think that's too little? Then… just an hour."
Yun squinted with a smile, happily saying.
"..."
Gon and Killua looked a bit desperate.
Teacher Yun… is too ruthless.
And… very scheming.
...
Knock! Knock!
On the other side, after entering the Sky Arena, Oboro smoothly arrived at the upper floors, the contestant's residence area, and knocked on a door.
After a moment, the door opened, revealing a familiar figure.
Hisoka leaned against the door frame, looking somewhat surprised at Oboro. "Someone as busy as you, how do you have time to come here?"
Oboro was too lazy to bother with him, and directly entered the room, removing his sunglasses.
He wasn't sure if Hisoka was in the Sky Arena, so he made a call in advance.
Unexpectedly, Hisoka really was there.
"It seems like everything's okay… but the sound has changed a bit. That kind of injury requires a very powerful Nen ability to heal, and it must be a healing-type to fully recover… Is it some extraordinary trait-based ability that defies common sense?"
Oboro sat on Hisoka's bed, looking at his smooth, white neck, as if he'd never been injured, and asked curiously.
Hisoka's entire neck had been penetrated.
He could still speak now, which was already quite astonishing.
"No…"
Hisoka complained, "It's obvious I saw it, but I still had to bring it up on purpose."
Yes… The skin on Hisoka's neck was fake, covered with Nen ability.
"Do you want me to help you? I could find some special Nen users. It might not completely restore you, but it's definitely better than pretending now."
Yes, Oboro was using words as a knife, stabbing at Hisoka's heart.
"Thanks for the kindness, but no need… I left it on purpose. That scar is a badge, don't you think?"
Hisoka sat cross-legged on a chair, with a wicked smile.
"What badge? Are you referring to the masterpiece where Kuroro killed you?"
---
The atmosphere in the room fell into an awkward silence.
"I'm just joking."
Suddenly, Oboro smiled.
Hisoka's gaze carried a hint of resentment.
"Indeed, you've become stronger again…"
He stared at Hisoka for a moment, then suddenly said.
"Hehe… You're still far from my level, but… don't worry, it'll be very soon."
Hisoka thought Oboro was eager for a fight with him, and couldn't help but reply.
He also couldn't hold back. Every time he saw Oboro, he was suppressing his inner impulse.
"Ten years have passed… and you're still so naive."
Oboro shook his head.
Kids…
Now, Hisoka and he are from two different worlds, and the gap between them can never be filled… For Hisoka, being able to become a sub-world-level Nen user outside the original story is already his limit.
Most importantly, Hisoka doesn't have the means to break through the ceiling endlessly like himself.
This guy is immersed in his own delusions and can't get out.
"You're not just here to see me, are you?" Hisoka knew Oboro too well and spoke.
"Same with you?"
Oboro sneered.
For the two of them, the Sky Arena is just a beginner's village… Who would come to such a place without reason?
"Are you also interested in him?"
Hisoka already has his Hunter license and is a member of the association. Given Oboro's status and position in the association, he must have some understanding beforehand. So… Hisoka has some awareness of the current atmosphere and situation within the association.
The person he's referring to is Killua.
He also knows that Killua is Ging Freecss's son.
And Ging, as one of the Twelve Zodiacs, has a rather intriguing relationship with Oboro…
The Twelve Zodiacs don't seem very friendly toward Oboro.
"I don't have that kind of hobby. I'm just passing by to take a look, and I'll leave after a while."
"Where to?"
"Kakin Empire."
"Oh?"
Hisoka showed interest. "What's so interesting there?"
The remaining members of the Phantom Troupe are only three. This naturally reduced Hisoka's interest. He's the kind of person who can't stand idleness… That's why he seeks out Killua and Gon, for some fun, and also to do some farmer tasks. But what Oboro plans to do is often very exciting, and might be even more lively.
Hisoka wants to get involved.
"Not suitable for you."
Oboro only said one sentence.
Hisoka looked disappointed.
"No danger, but you'll create danger too… Tell me, is there a new goal that's making you settle down? Killua probably can't satisfy you yet…"
Oboro raised an eyebrow.
"Haha… You really can't hide your eyes."
Hisoka smirked.
"I made a deal with Illumi. It's very beneficial for both of us."
After speaking, he saw that Oboro was not surprised at all, and said in amazement, "You guessed it?"
"Why guess? From the first time you met, you already sensed this day… Just like I knew from the first day I saw you… that you're a troublemaker through and through."
Oboro calmly replied.
"You should be happy… because you're the two of us, the ones who invited, and the only witnesses."
"Honestly, I'm really not interested in your battles, because they're too weak…"
Oboro spoke very directly.
But then, he changed his tone, "However… for some special reasons, I might attend, and watch your silly performances."
"Your old self wouldn't be so arrogant…"
Hisoka sneered.
"I'm just speaking the truth… so, what I say might sound harsh."
