"Compassion"

"Excellence..."

"Limit..."

"Superb..."

"Time..."

How could Ian describe how he felt at that moment?

This is a state that is difficult to describe...

This is completely different from the power boost he received from copying Silva!

At this moment, with the help of the [Ability Copy Gloves], he briefly copied Netero's abilities, allowing him to glimpse another world!

Everything seemed to be breathing slowly, and wherever he looked, it seemed that he could easily reach it by simply taking a step if he wanted to.

Everything fell silent.

Ian's senses were pushed to the limits of human perception!

The light streaming through the window transformed into visible ribbons, weaving into a golden mesh. In the corner, a Spider slowly crawled along its web.

The people around seemed to show expressions of surprise.

In Ian's eyes, their movements were so slow. Elina, Uvogin, Nobunaga, Knov... everyone was blinking and opening their mouths slowly. The frozen movements were somewhat comical, as if everyone was inside sticky amber.

Only one person, with those deep eyes, was gazing at him with an expression of amazement.

Netero!

"Is this... the vision of a peak human powerhouse?!"

Even Ian's eyes widened in astonishment!

This is completely different from the feeling he gets from using props... This is the extraordinary power truly gained through years of physical training leading to a breakthrough!

Is it Nen Ability?

No...

This is a realm, one of the limits reached by Netero, a human being, after breaking through his own limits!

Although Ian didn't know just how strong the five Nen Abilities that were said to be able to defeat Netero really were!

However, this is an opportunity to glimpse Netero's power.

He sincerely admired the other person. From an ordinary Nen user to where he is today, he is indeed a legend and a true monster!

Netero.

In their time, there were also many different schools of martial arts.

At the age of 46, feeling that he had reached the limits of his physical body and martial arts, he came to understand the meaning of "Gratitude" amidst his daily struggles.

From then on, he threw 10,000 "Gratitude-Filled Straight Punches " day after day!

Breathe, pray, get into position, throw a punch!

This step requires eighteen hours a day!

At the age of 48.

When he finished throwing punches for the day, he saw for the first time that the sun had not yet set.

When he turned 50, everything completely changed!

In less than an hour, he completed 10,000 punches of training, which increased his prayer time as a result.

He danced with nature and came to understand the meaning of "the Bodhisattva's Compassion"!

Until...

When he descended the mountain to challenge various Martial Arts styles...

His punch was faster than sound, breaking the sound barrier!

In the eyes of other Martial Arts masters, the realm he has reached is a compassionate gift from Guanyin!

"That's really impressive, President..."

Ian's lips slowly curled up, his eyes fixed intently on his own body, filled with excitement.

This was the second time since he arrived in the world of Hunters that he had experienced such overwhelming joy, aside from the first time he discovered the items he received from daily check-ins!

He slowly raised his hand, merely clenching his fist slightly.

The rest of the crowd didn't even see when he raised his hand...

At this moment, Uvogin and the others, including Knov, were all surprised to find a faint Golden Halo behind Ian's head.

"Ian, what's behind you...!?"

Only then did the exclamations of surprise from Uvogin Nobunaga the others reach the scene.

Ian looked over curiously, but the golden halo moved as he turned his head, and he didn't see it.

But then he thought about it again and realized what was going on.

The [Ability Copy Gloves] can copy the ability attributes and even physical qualities of the other party, but it cannot copy Netero's Nen.

At this moment, he possessed only Netero's level of understanding and abilities.

However, he lacked the vast and profound Nen of Netero, and thus could not perform all his actions flawlessly. His spiritual energy was too thin, making it easy for it to dissipate and create strange phenomena.

"It's alright, I just borrowed the president's power and couldn't control it very well... It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Ian waved his hand and smiled at Uvogin and the others, indicating that they could rest assured.

"I never imagined you could be this capable..."

At this moment, Netero spoke.

The old man was not angry that his power had been copied!

Instead, he looked at Ian with surprise and curiosity.

Even deep within those deep eyes, there was a hidden burning desire for battle. He glanced at his body, not feeling any loss of power, and said thoughtfully.

"Moreover, my power has not diminished in the slightest, so... you merely learned or imitated my ability for a fleeting moment?"

Although he was questioning, his tone was basically certain of his judgment.

Ian smiled and said softly.

"How about I give it a try, and let you judge for yourself how much of my skill I can achieve?"

Netero's eyes lit up, then he seemed to remember something and coughed lightly.

"Regardless, go easy on them. Knov was restrained when he attacked your companions before..."

Ian nodded and smiled.

"Understood, understood. We're all part of the Hunter Association, it's just about exchanging skills and exchanging ideas. Friendship comes first, competition second!"

When it comes to polite conversation, he's just as good as anyone else!

Netero stroked his beard, clearly looking forward to the upcoming battle.

At this moment, his attention was completely focused on Ian, and he thought to himself.

I haven't met such an interesting kid in a long time...

Is he Conjuration or Specialization esper?

It seems that Knov's idea was wrong...

Such a cunning brat; those gadgets in Ejin City were probably made for some other purpose...

At that moment, Netero felt that his decision to travel had been absolutely right.

He managed to find two promising young players for the Hunter Association in one go.

A natural-born Martial Arts prodigy...

The other is an even more brilliant and talented kid...

Sure enough, as long as you don't stay inside that building, you'll always encounter some interesting things once you step outside.

That way, you won't have lived a wasted life!

Meanwhile...

Ian, on the other hand, looked at Knov not far away with a smile on his face.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, now it's time for our battle to begin!"

He gazed at Knov in the distance.

If the other party was considered a formidable enemy before...

But now, he feels he can easily beat his opponent into a pretzel.

Despite the other party being on guard.

But to Ian, those snail-like movements meant he could cut in from any angle at any time and take the opponent's life.

Knov naturally overheard Ian's conversation with Netero.

He was somewhat puzzled as to why Netero didn't think highly of him, but he still had great confidence in his own abilities.

"Then let me see what kind of power you've received from the chairman that makes you so confident!"

Knov spoke coldly, tugged at his collar, and then waved to Ian.

As you wish!

"Next, I will show you the compassion I have come to understand..."

As Ian finished speaking, he gently assumed a punching stance.

At that moment, he exhaled a deep breath, and his entire demeanor changed instantly; his eyes narrowed!

"Bang!"

In an instant, he vanished from the scene like a fleeting shadow!

The next second, with a violent surge of air, Knov, still waving, was suddenly sent flying into the sky as if he had been hit by a dump truck!
